Chapter 338 Breaking Through to Title Douluo After Twelve Years
Then, the God of Resentment turned his gaze to Tang San and said with satisfaction.
"You and she are of one mind, and you also harbor hatred for the Spirit Hall, so you are qualified to participate in my divine examination."
The God of Resentment raised his hand and waved, sending two black beams of light flying towards Tang San and Xiao Wu respectively.
"I ask you, are you willing to participate in my divine test and inherit the position of the God of Hatred?"
Xiao Wu answered sharply, her eyes flashing with vengeance, without any hesitation.
"I'm willing! As long as I can gain great power to avenge Da Ming, Er Ming, and my mother, I'm willing to pay any price!"
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's resolute expression.
Thinking of the atrocities committed by the Spirit Hall and his own weakness, the struggle in his heart instantly dissipated.
He raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the god of resentment: "I am willing too!"
"good!"
The God of Resentment curled his lips into a cold smile and raised his hand to wave again.
Two separate black spatial portals instantly appeared in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"This is the first test of the gods, the awakening of resentment."
The voice of the god of resentment carried a seductive quality.
"You will each enter two separate spaces to complete the assessment tasks."
With a flick of his finger, two divine examination scrolls landed in the hands of Tang San and Xiao Wu respectively.
The assessment criteria were clearly written on the scroll.
[One hour time limit: Slaughter the designated target.]
[Tang San: Slaughter an innocent human village; Xiao Wu: Slaughter an innocent forest of soul beasts.]
Ultimately, the degree of resentment absorption is determined by the number of kills; the higher the assessment level, the stronger the resentment blessing received.
The moment Tang San and Xiao Wu saw the assessment content, their faces turned deathly pale.
Slaughtering innocent human villages?
A forest of slaughtering innocent soul beasts?
Those were all their own kind, innocent people with no power to resist.
How could they possibly carry out the massacre?
Tang San gripped the scroll tightly, his fingers turning white from the force.
He never harmed an innocent person in his life, let alone slaughtered an entire village.
Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly.
She herself is a soul beast, and has a natural affinity for soul beasts.
Asking her to slaughter an entire forest of soul beasts is tantamount to asking her to kill her own family members. How could she bring herself to do it?
Just as the two were caught in a dilemma.
The God of Resentment split into two clones, which appeared in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu respectively.
The clone's face was exactly the same as the original God of Resentment.
A seductive light flickered in his scarlet eyes.
The clone that appeared in front of Tang San slowly spoke: "Tang San, do you want to avenge Xiao Wu? Do you want to raze the Spirit Hall to the ground?"
Tang San suddenly looked up, a struggle flashing in his eyes: "I want to, but I can't hurt the innocent!"
"innocent?"
The clone sneered.
"The Spirit Hall slaughtered your family and slaughtered countless spirit beasts. Did they ever think about the innocent? This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak."
"If you want to gain great power and seek revenge, how can you expect to do so without paying a price?"
"The God of Resentment is a deity born from the resentment of heaven and earth. The more resentment you absorb, the stronger you become."
"This first hurdle is simply to let you follow your heart, release the hatred in your heart, and absorb this pure resentment."
"Moreover, this is merely a divine testing space; everything within it is just an illusory projection, not something that actually exists."
"What you do here will have no impact on the real world."
On the other side, the clone that appeared in front of Xiao Wu was also constantly tempting her.
"Xiao Wu, have you forgotten how Da Ming and Er Ming died? Have you forgotten how your mother was killed by the Spirit Hall?"
"Your current weakness makes it impossible for you to avenge them. Only by passing my divine test and inheriting the position of the God of Resentment can you possess the power to crush the Spirit Hall!"
"This Soul Beast Forest is just an illusion."
"You slaughter them only to gain power and to avenge your loved ones."
"Are you really going to give up your chance for revenge because of these illusory soul beasts?"
"Illusory..."
Tang San and Xiao Wu silently recited these three words in their hearts at the same time.
They looked towards the sky, where the news of Li Bai being crowned a Title Douluo at the age of 18 had just been announced.
The people at Beidou Academy are all so powerful.
Yet they lack even the ability to protect their loved ones.
The shadow of the Spirit Hall loomed over their hearts like a mountain.
If you can't improve your strength quickly, forget about revenge.
They probably won't even be able to save their own lives.
"Yes, this is just an illusory space..."
Tang San closed his eyes, and the images of Da Ming and Er Ming sacrificing themselves, as well as Xiao Wu's pained expression, appeared in his mind.
When I opened my eyes again.
There was no more hesitation in his eyes, only a cold resolve.
Xiao Wu's eyes were also completely filled with hatred.
She gritted her teeth, her bloodshot eyes flashing with a crazed light.
"I'm willing to do anything for revenge!"
Almost simultaneously, Tang San and Xiao Wu stepped into their respective divine trial spaces.
Before Tang San's eyes appeared a peaceful human village.
In the village, there were children playing, farmers working, and kind old people; everything seemed so peaceful.
Before Xiao Wu's eyes appeared a dense forest of soul beasts.
In the forest, there are cute little rabbits, gentle bear-like spirit beasts, and agile bird-like spirit beasts.
They nestled together, living in harmony.
The two stood there, looking at the scene before them, and a pang of reluctance rose in their hearts once again.
But soon, the atrocities committed by the Spirit Hall and the tragic deaths of loved ones overwhelmed this feeling of unbearable sorrow.
Tang San raised his hand, and the Blue Silver Grass instantly burst forth from the ground, carrying sharp thorns, and flew towards the children in the village.
Xiao Wu's figure flashed, transforming into a pink afterimage as the Martial Soul of the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit was attached to her.
The sharp claws lunged at the little rabbit in front of it.
An avatar of the god of resentment stands in the darkness.
Seeing this, a satisfied smile flashed in his crimson eyes.
"The power of resentment has finally begun to awaken..."
"It seems my chance to be resurrected has arrived!"
...
Just as Tang San and Xiao Wu were immersed in the divine test, choosing to slaughter for power.
Above the sky of Douluo Continent.
The golden light in the sky reached its peak once again.
The shock of Li Bai being crowned a Title Douluo at the age of 18 continues to reverberate across the mainland.
And the second place on the cultivation speed ranking has been revealed to everyone!
This time, the brilliance of the golden light far surpassed any previous time.
Countless Soul Masters, whose hearts had long been numb, began to beat wildly once again.
They stared intently at the sky, their hearts filled with a mixture of curiosity and fear.
Li Bai broke through to the Title Douluo level at the age of 18!
How young can the second-place finisher still be?
