After three days and nights of battling, Qianren Xue was defeated.
Qianren Xue was deeply shaken, because she was also a First-level God and yet she lost.
"As a First-level God, why am I not as strong as you?" Qianren Xue couldn't understand.
Ma Hongjun mocked, "Because you became a God through the backdoor."
Qianren Xue frowned, while Tang San smiled faintly, "Fatty has a point. Although we are both Gods and First-level Gods, our paths to becoming Gods were vastly different. My experiences and trials during the process significantly exceeded yours. Moreover, even as First-level Gods, if our Divine Mansions aren't that different, it ultimately depends on the advantages we had before ascending. Do you think if we were both Ninety-First Level Title Douluo, could you defeat me?"
Qianren Xue stood silent, withdrawing her Martial Soul, acknowledging her loss. She couldn't tell if she should feel downcast or relieved.
"I've lost, I must leave the Martial Soul Hall..." Qianren Xue murmured to herself, "Will I let Grandpa down..."
Qianren Xue looked gloomy, comforting herself, "I have done enough. I fought Ye Yu with all my strength after becoming a God, and also battled Tang San, but neither were opponents I could defeat. I should be able to leave."
She tried to console herself, looking affectionately at Ye Yu.
Tang San said, "You lost, don't forget the bet."
Qianren Xue replied directly, "I won't forget, now I am no longer part of the Martial Soul Hall. Whatever you deal with regarding Martial Soul Hall in the future, I won't be involved."
Ye Yu responded, "Then we can be friends. Sometimes it's suitable to be friends, but only because our stances differed. Now that yours and mine no longer oppose, we can be friends."
Watching Ye Yu approach with a gentle smile, Qianren Xue felt joyful inside and let out a long breath.
Qianren Xue earnestly said, "I want more than just to be friends with you, I..."
Qianren Xue found it hard to speak, as expressing her desire to become his woman was difficult for her as a woman.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun could see through it naturally. Ma Hongjun glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, mischievously commenting, "Zhuqing, Rongrong, you have gained a new love rival."
Ning Rongrong confidently declared, "Brother Yu is mine."
Zhu Zhuqing felt shy to say anything, changing the topic, "Now, Martial Soul Hall is definitely going to lose."
Oscar said, "Martial Soul Hall never stood a chance from the moment they provoked Boss Yu, they could never dominate the Douluo Continent."
Ma Hongjun corrected, "Wrong, it was actually when they offended Boss Yu's father that their fate was sealed."
Beside them, Qianren Xue felt uncomfortable, Ye Yu said, "Alright, stop talking. Xiao San has become a God, he should be able to help you, allowing you to break through your bottlenecks and gift you Divine Soul Rings."
Delighted, Dai Mubai and the others asked, "Really?"
Tang San nodded, "Of course. The Divine Soul Rings you previously acquired were thanks to the Sea God; now that I am the Sea God, naturally I can bestow them, and also assist you in advancing."
Sea God's divine power descended, and the Soul Power of the Six Monsters simultaneously reached level ninety.
Then, the Six Monsters sat cross-legged to absorb the Divine Soul Rings.
Oscar faced challenging absorption because he forced himself to take in a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, unprecedented for someone of the Food Type.
Oscar's whole body was crimson, shivering, nearly collapsing.
Among the Seven Monsters, Oscar's body was clearly the weakest, although Cloned Sausage could provide combat power, he was fundamentally a Support Soul Master.
Ning Rongrong fared better in absorption due to having the Nine Treasures Glaze Tower, which offered protective features, making it safer.
Tang San cut a finger, letting a drop of blue blood drift out. Although it was just one drop, it left Tang San somewhat fatigued, as it was Divine Blood, extremely precious, losing even a single drop would hurt his vitality.
To aid Oscar, Tang San didn't hesitate to sacrifice his vitality to prevent Oscar from exploding.
As the blood fell, Oscar gradually calmed, ceasing to tremble, averting the danger.
Soon after, the Ninth Soul Ring emerged, crimson like blood.
Oscar was extraordinarily moved inside; with the Ninth Soul Ring weaving around him, the first Food Type Title Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent appeared.
Upon becoming a Title Douluo, Oscar's aura underwent a massive transformation.
At this moment, Ye Yu's Spiritual Power sensed a Divine Thought, acknowledging inwardly, "It seems, because the partners are about to become Title Douluo, it'll attract some Gods to pass down their Divine Mansions."
The exceptional talents of Oscar and the others naturally drew the attention for Divine Mansion inheritance.
As Oscar finished absorbing the Soul Ring, suddenly a pink light appeared unexpectedly from the air, descending upon Oscar; except for Ye Yu, even Tang San and Qianren Xue hadn't foreseen it, unable to stop it.
The pink light entered Oscar's brow, his expression froze as if he became a statue, immobile.
Tang San was shocked, such an event happening beyond his ability to prevent and without sensing it. If it's a bad omen, it's incredibly frightening.
Tang San hurried over to Oscar, placing a hand on his forehead, exploring with Divine Thought, but found nothing wrong within Oscar's body, turning his gaze to the sky, frowning.
Oscar snapped back, eyes filled with excitement.
Tang San asked worriedly, "Xiao Ao, are you alright?"
Oscar stood energetically, "Hahaha, I couldn't be better. Xiao San, earlier you... well, there's no need for thanks between brothers."
Tang San puzzled, "Earlier, that pink light entered you, did you feel anything?"
Oscar replied enthusiastically, "I hit the jackpot this time."
Tang San and the others were curious; clearly, Oscar learned something.
Oscar explained excitedly, "After absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, my Soul Power reached level ninety-two. Then I felt a warmth at my brow, a gentle voice echoed in my mind, informing me of my achievement as a Food Type Title Douluo, not yet over forty years old, having enough potential to inherit his Divine Mansion. Once my Soul Power reaches level ninety-nine, I can start the inheritance. This Divine Mansion belongs to the Food God, a Second-level God, once I ascend, I will become the Food God."
Tang San shared Oscar's joy, knowing that becoming a God was most important, apart from Ye Yu, all of them needed to inherit a Divine Mansion to become Gods.
Oscar stated, "If I gain the Divine Mansion inheritance, they're sure to receive it too."
Beside them, Qianren Xue was shaken, pondering, "All of them will become Gods? One Shrek will herald eight Gods..."
Qianren Xue comprehended entirely that the Martial Soul Empire ruling the continent was impossible.
At this moment, in Martial Soul City, the Pope Hall.
A mysterious chamber space, shrouded in purple-black.
Bibi Dong's aura grew stronger steadily, nearing the final step unmistakably.
Bibi Dong anticipated eagerly with impatience.
"A little more, soon I'll ascend to Godhood, once I do, everything will conclude! The Martial Soul Empire will dominate the continent."
She seemed to envision the future vividly.
"Ye Yu hasn't become a God yet. Once I get out, it'll be two Gods against one; Xue'Er will stall Sea God Tang San, I'll eliminate Ye Yu first, then join Xue'Er to slay Tang San, hahahaha..."
Bibi Dong laughed maniacally, her laughter sinister.
"Quickly... quicker... I'm nearing the end! I can't wait to get out!"
