Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 333 Tang San, the One Being Targeted
"The way of the emperor is to be upright and honorable."

"I have never concealed anything; it is only your own dullness that prevented you from noticing."

The majestic voice echoed throughout the arena, lingering for a long time.

The bright moon in the sky disappeared, but its reflection in the sea remained, and it emerged from the water.

The bright moonlight enveloped the ocean, and Tang San's figure appeared so small in comparison to this moon, like an ant.

"The bright moon rises over the sea, a cold mist of the moon!"

Click!

Cracks appeared on the bright moon, which then shattered and exploded completely, the power contained within forming a frost storm that swept across the entire arena.

Chen Haitian used all his strength in this move, aiming to subdue Tang San in one strike and prevent the opponent from having the opportunity to plunder his power.

A few breaths later, the frost storm dissipated.

The Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill disintegrated due to exhaustion of power. The three exhausted individuals were supported by the other four who had recovered, and stood at the edge of the arena.

On the arena, the dark forest formed by the dark blue silver emperor vines turned into an ice sculpture forest, with Tang San himself in it, holding the dark blue silver emperor spear in a defensive stance, but in the end, there was no defense and it had no effect whatsoever.

"hateful!"

Inside the ice sculpture, Tang San remained conscious, but was unable to move because he was trapped inside.

He tried to plunder the power of the ice with his greedy heart, but the energy level of Taiyin Hanlan was extremely high. If it were a true greedy heart, it could be easily plundered and made into its own use, but for Tang San in his current state, plundering power of this level was an extremely difficult thing.

According to the competition rules, although Tang San did not lose consciousness, if he was trapped by the imprisoning soul skill for more than a certain period of time and could not break free, he would be directly judged as having lost.

So, after waiting for a long time, seeing that Tang San still hadn't broken through the ice, the referee loudly announced the result of the match:
"Team Poseidon wins this match!"

This outcome drew sighs from the audience, whose comments were full of sarcasm and ridicule towards Tang San.

After Tang San broke the ice with the help of the staff, all he heard and saw was the ridicule and doubt of countless viewers.

After returning to the preparation area with a sullen face, he noticed that the way people looked at him seemed to contain a hint of disdain.

This discovery intensified Tang San's resentment.

"It's alright, Brother Tang San. It doesn't matter that your second team lost, we still have another team that hasn't lost."

Xue Qinghe walked to Tang San's side and comforted him gently.

These comforting words, whether intentionally said or not, made Tang San so angry he wanted to hit someone.

"Also, Brother Tang, Wuhun City isn't very safe lately, so you absolutely must be careful and take precautions to avoid any accidents."

Xue Qinghe's words were entirely well-intentioned in reminding Tang San.

With the elimination of Team Tiandou II, Tang San was no longer a participant in the tournament. Without the protection of this identity, who knows what might happen?

But Tang San was burning with anger and didn't listen to a word he said.

Seeing Tang San's reaction, Xue Qinghe simply smiled and let it go.

The message has been delivered; whether Tang San listens or not is his own business.

……

Noon, lunchtime.

In a hotel, the members of the Poseidon team gathered together to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.

Although the match was hard-fought, a win is a win, so the atmosphere at the meal was relaxed and pleasant. The intense exertion during the match also gave them a great appetite.

"You're injured, you need to eat more and replenish your strength!" "That's right, that Tang guy was so ruthless, using both deadly poison and the troublesome golden silk. Luckily, His Majesty had the Sea God's salvation, otherwise you would still be lying in the hospital bed."

"..."

They ate and chatted, completely unaware that there were more people in the restaurant than just them.

At the end of the restaurant.

Lin Rong stood there holding the Heart of the Sea God, with Yun Hui standing beside him.

Their figures and auras were concealed by the power of the Heart of the Sea God, so no one noticed them.

"Have you mastered all the unique skills of the Tang Clan?"

"I've learned them all, but in terms of proficiency, I can't compare to Tang San, who has been practicing since childhood."

"It's alright, as long as you know how, it's fine. As for proficiency, apart from experts who are proficient in Tang Clan hidden weapons, outsiders can't see the tricks of the trade."

"Dragon Beard Needle, Bodhi Blood, Tang San used these two hidden weapons on them, and you did the same. You don't need to take their lives, just aggravate their injuries."

"Understood. Shall we make our move now?"

"No, if we act now, they're right here, making it easier to treat them. If their injuries aren't serious enough, how can we make them hate Tang San?"

"If you make your move tonight, you might catch another good show."

……

Ontology.

An elder from a sect whose martial soul is the brain is examining the injuries to Xue Shi's eyes.

The more he examined the items, the more serious his expression became.

After a while, he stopped what he was doing and addressed the crowd of onlookers:
"The situation is not optimistic. The power that damaged the Blood Sect Master's eyes is extremely high. If the Blood Sect Master did not have the power of divine inheritance protecting his body, his eyes would really be ruined."

"To heal the Blood Sect Master's eyes, we must completely remove the residual power residing in them."

"This power is so great that even the power inherited from the gods can only barely withstand it. The only way to eliminate it is to let it dissipate naturally over time."

"As for how long it will take for this force to completely dissipate, I don't know either. Maybe two or three months, maybe two or three years, it's hard to say."

The elder's words caused an uproar among the members of the Body Sect.

Blood Killer himself remained unusually calm, showing no panic whatsoever despite being blind.

He knew that his eyes would eventually return to normal, and that blindness would not significantly affect his abilities.

"Elder, the reason I have become like this is because of Tang San."

"At that time, he used a soul skill related to blood, which caught my attention. That's why my eyes turned like this. Perhaps we can find the reason in Tang San."

Blood Killer's calm tone concealed excitement.

He had a premonition that the secret Tang San possessed would be an earth-shattering opportunity, and if he could obtain it, both he and the Body Sect would benefit immensely.

After listening to the discussion, the elders of the sects present quickly reached a consensus.

"There are definitely more forces than just our Body Sect that are eyeing Tang San. To avoid any unforeseen complications, let's make our move tonight."

"Anyway, the Body Sect has no grudge against Tang San. Even if the Heaven Dou Empire and the Clear Sky Sect suspect us, they won't suspect us. On the contrary, the Sea God Empire and the Spirit Hall are the most suspicious and will take the blame for us."

"But before we take action, we still need to report back to the Sect Master!"
