Chapter 208: The More Respectful, the More Hypocritical, Attitude Decides Perspective
While Lin Yu was filled with mockery and disdain in his heart,
In the live stream, Niu Gao clearly did not accept Tang San's empty apology. He was even a bit angered and laughed.
"I gave you a chance, but who gave us, the Imperial Clan, a chance back then?"
With that thought, Niu Gao looked at Tang San in front of him and immediately sneered, releasing a Soul Douluo-level soul pressure that instantly surged like a crashing wave toward Tang San.
At the same time, Niu Gao did not hold back his words, coldly and sarcastically expressing his thoughts.
He coldly stated that when Haotian Sect declared its retreat and when Tang Hao chose to fight against the Spirit Hall, he never considered the Four Great Clans, and he certainly didn't give them any chance.
So why should he give Tang San a chance?
Afterward, the enraged Niu Gao directly told Tang San to get lost, or he would no longer be polite!
Despite Niu Gao's angry scolding, Tang San remained calm, as if he was not angered by the words.
However, Titan, who was Tang Hao's loyal follower, immediately became angry.
Before Titan could make a move, Tang San stopped him, saying that he would handle the matter himself.
Seeing everything happening in the live stream,
Niu Gao was filled with frustration toward Titan. He couldn't understand what his old friend was thinking and why he was so protective of Tang Hao and his son.
But what did it matter if you were loyal to Tang Hao and his son?
The Strength Clan had aligned with them, yet they hadn't gained any benefits, and certainly hadn't avoided the bad consequences. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been wiped out in the future!
Even if that couldn't be proven yet,
The previous live streams had already revealed that Tang San had already received a large amount of Immortal-grade spirit herbs.
But even though the Strength Clan had been loyal to these two, and Niu Gao's grandson, Talon, was Tang San's classmate, in the end, Tang San didn't even give them a single Immortal-grade herb.
How could someone like this be worth your loyalty?
Niu Gao almost spat at Tang San.
In the live stream, despite the soul pressure Niu Gao exerted,
Tang San, although a Soul Emperor, was not afraid due to the Ice and Fire Tempering Body, the Blue Silver Royal Bloodline enhancement, and his Blue Silver Domain and Killing God Domain. He was completely unfazed by Niu Gao's soul pressure.
After all, soul pressure was essentially a type of aura, and since it was an aura, it could be countered by another special "aura" such as a domain.
Thus, facing Niu Gao's soul pressure, Tang San activated his Killing God Domain and shaped it like a blade that enveloped his body. The soul pressure rushing toward him was instantly cut through.
Seeing that Tang San could resist his soul pressure, Niu Gao was somewhat surprised and quickly asked Tang San about his age.
When he learned that Tang San was only 21, Niu Gao's pupils contracted, shocked.
At just 21 years old, being able to resist his soul pressure, his strength was unimaginable. At least in the Imperial Clan, no such genius existed.
Even in Haotian Sect back in the day, the strongest disciple at 21 would only be at the Soul Sect level, not even close to Soul King.
Such power definitely couldn't withstand the soul pressure of a Soul Douluo!
So how powerful was this young man?
Soul King? Or Soul Emperor?
In that moment, Niu Gao's pupils narrowed, filled with fear.
He admitted it—he was scared.
Because if he rejected such a young Soul King or Soul Emperor with an unfriendly attitude today, what would happen when this person grew into a Title Douluo? Would the Imperial Clan face revenge?
In the live stream, seeing the expression of surprise on "himself" after learning Tang San's age, Niu Gao quickly guessed what the "live stream Niu Gao" was thinking but still felt regret and anger.
Don't be afraid! What's there to fear!
Even if this kid becomes a god in the future and seeks revenge on our Imperial Clan, will we have no shame?
But if we really give him a chance and later lead our Imperial Clan to follow this kid, we'll become his subordinates with no benefits at all.
In the future, we might even be wiped out!
Despite Niu Gao's frenzied inner shouting, urging the "live stream Niu Gao" not to be foolish and not to give Tang San a chance,
Sadly, none of that could change what was happening in the live stream.
The Niu Gao in the live stream was already part of a different timeline, unaware of the future, whereas the Niu Gao outside the live stream couldn't see it.
Thus, in the live stream, despite his worries, Niu Gao pretended to be shocked, going along with the situation.
He put on a face of shame and said that Tang San could stay as long as he could endure one incense stick's worth of time without damaging the surroundings.
For an ordinary Soul King or Soul Emperor, this would be impossible.
But for Tang San, who could easily withstand the soul pressure of a Soul Douluo without summoning his martial soul, it was an easy task.
When Niu Gao finally relented, Titan was overjoyed and asked if Niu Gao was serious.
Naturally, Niu Gao, feeling frustrated, assured Titan that he always kept his word, but he emphasized that Tang San would never be able to last an incense stick's time under his soul pressure.
Upon hearing this confirmation, Titan laughed loudly, saying that Niu Gao had underestimated Tang San.
Tang San was the strongest of the younger generation in Haotian Sect, the leader of the third generation, and a strong contender for the next Haotian Sect master.
Seeing this, Niu Gao in the live stream was hopping mad.
Was Titan really selling out the Imperial Clan just to flatter Tang Hao's family?
Tang San was clearly from Haotian Sect, but Titan kept pretending Tang San had nothing to do with them. Who was he fooling?
But the Niu Gao in the live stream either didn't realize or pretended not to realize. His face once again showed shock and seriousness.
However, despite Titan's praise, Tang San remained calm, as usual. After Titan finished speaking, he suddenly said that, considering Niu Gao was an elder, it would be inappropriate to fight.
Instead, they could each exchange three punches. If he could withstand Niu Gao's three punches, Niu Gao would allow him to stay for the gathering.
Niu Gao, having already made his decision, naturally agreed.
However, as an elder, Niu Gao didn't want to take advantage of Tang San and let him strike first.
When Tang San made his move, he showed respect to Niu Gao and only lightly punched him.
He said that even if he used full strength, he wouldn't be able to harm Niu Gao, who was the leader of the Imperial Clan and a defensive expert, so it was better not to waste soul power and focus on defending against Niu Gao's next attack.
Tang San's words pleased Niu Gao greatly.
But in the live stream, watching the "live stream Niu Gao" completely be charmed by Tang San, Niu Gao's heart raced with anxiety.
Because he already knew the Imperial Clan's fate if they followed Tang San, the more polite and humble Tang San appeared, the colder Niu Gao's heart became.
After all, the Imperial Clan's end was already essentially sealed. No matter how humble Tang San seemed now, it couldn't hide his truly hypocritical nature.
The more Tang San bowed to them in the live stream, the stronger the future retaliation would be!
As for what Tang San was thinking, the live stream didn't show his inner thoughts, so no one but Tang San knew.
But one thing was certain.
Given that Niu Gao already knew the outcome for the Imperial Clan if they followed Tang San, and with his rejection and disdain, no matter how Tang San acted, in Niu Gao's eyes, there was certainly a hidden agenda.
It was all about attitude, and it shaped perspective!
