Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 469 Tang San: This is a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall!

Having long been captivated by the evil methods, Tang San, whose mind was filled with thoughts of blood and devouring, could no longer endure the sight of the blood emanating from his evil Blue Silver Grass.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the tentacle-like vines not only did not loosen, but tightened even more, and it looked as if the tips were about to pierce the wound.

Just as the referee from the Spirit Hall was about to make his move, the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny in the stands began to roar angrily, brandishing their spirits to attack Tang San. However, Tang San's body suddenly trembled, and then he withdrew his spirits with a gloomy expression, leaving the arena without looking back.

Ignoring even Xiao Wu and the gazes of others, Tang San coldly returned to the rest room, angrily punching the wall beside him. His eyes flickered between bloodlust and reason before he finally managed to calm down.

Before he could do anything, Tang San, having regained his composure, suddenly realized that his great-grandfather, Tang Chen, had appeared in front of him at some point, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

"Have you become so obsessed with power that you've even clouded your judgment? You idiot."

Looking at Tang San, who was already somewhat possessed by demonic possession, Tang Chen couldn't help but regret his radical decision to push Tang San to increase his strength.

Tang San looked at Tang Chen's gloomy face. Even though he was very dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything on the surface and even put on a grateful expression.

"Thank you for your guidance, Great-Grandfather. If you hadn't reminded me from afar with your aura, I might have fallen into the Spirit Hall's trap."

"The Spirit Hall's treacherous scheme?" Tang Chen was completely bewildered. His mind raced, trying to recall everything he had witnessed, but he still couldn't figure out what the Spirit Hall was up to. In the end, he could only feign confidence and slowly speak to Tang San.

"Mistress, what did you figure out?"

“Great-grandfather, the Spirit Hall must have somehow figured out my strength and thought they couldn’t beat me, so they deliberately arranged such weak opponents for me, just so that I would accidentally lose control of my power and kill these people, thus losing my qualification to continue the competition.”

"To try and humiliate my Clear Sky Sect with such despicable means, the Spirit Hall is truly courting death!"

Tang San spoke with resentment, the glint in his eyes genuine. Tang Chen could tell that Tang San wasn't trying to shirk responsibility; he truly meant it.

Even though he prided himself on having seen all sorts of people and had witnessed countless extraordinary individuals in the City of Slaughter, Tang Chen still felt his worldview being refreshed once again. He simply couldn't comprehend what kind of thought process this junior, who shared his bloodline, had to have to come up with such ideas.

"Yes, just keep everything in mind."

Tang Chen was too lazy to explain, or perhaps he simply couldn't explain anything to Tang San, who was obsessed with his own ideas. He swallowed the words he had originally wanted to say to Tang San to stay rational. After giving Tang San a deep look, Tang Chen left Tang San's side and silently pondered in a room that the Spirit Hall had prepared especially for him.

He thought a lot, wondering if he had committed some sin in his past life, and if his son had done something wrong in his past life. He wondered if Tang Hao's sudden bloodline mutation had caused the minds of this lineage to become extremely twisted, and whether being half-human and half-beast would reduce the intelligence of a Soul Master.

Tang Chen thought about it a lot, but he still couldn't figure out why his descendants would have such an extraordinary person as Tang San.

He even began to doubt what exactly he had seen in Tang San.
Was it really because he possessed twin martial souls that she fell for him? Was she really that kind of person before?
Logically, Tang Chen, who had been stuffed into a puff pastry by the God of Asura, shouldn't have been able to think about things that clearly contradicted the God of Asura's divine will. However, the current situation was exceptionally unique. The Spirit Hall was, after all, a place once created by the Angel God. Knowing that the Angel God might have left a contingency plan in that demi-plane within the Spirit Hall, the God of Asura's divine will didn't want to be overly active there. Therefore, after leaving that plan, it plummeted to an extremely low state.

While Tang Chen still possesses considerable control over his mind, his mechanical abilities ultimately cannot completely restrict all of Tang Chen's thoughts.

Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, is because Tang San's current behavior—his true nature exposed and even straying further and further down the evil path—is simply...
It's too abstract.

This level of abstraction is enough to make any rational person think, even someone as brainless as Tang Hao would fall silent.

With both factors combined, Tang Chen felt a sense of unease, and his initial goodwill towards Tang San diminished considerably. He began to question whether it was truly necessary to nurture this great-grandson.

However, given that Tang Xiao doesn't have a son yet, and Tang San is the only descendant left in his lineage, Tang Chen ultimately decided to wait and see for the time being, while also deciding to urge Tang Xiao to get married as soon as he returned to the Clear Sky Sect.

If Tang Xiao could also have a child with the talent of twin martial souls, then he wouldn't hesitate at all. Moreover, even if it were just an ordinary single martial soul, Tang Chen was confident that he could cultivate it to level 98 or even 99 with his knowledge and divine trials.

Tang Chen really didn't think Tang San's mentality was capable of becoming a god. After all, his mentality was a hundred times better than Tang San's at the beginning, but in the end, he still failed because of his state of mind.
If it weren't for some god being blind and passing on the throne regardless of mentality, or some earth-shattering event, Tang Chen thought that Tang San would at most be an ordinary Peerless Douluo in his life.

Meanwhile, the soul masters of the Beast Academy, who had been severely injured by Tang San, had fully recovered under the healing of Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin, two masters of medicine and poison.

Driven by hatred and a hint of fear for their granddaughter and the future of the academy, the Dragon God and Snake Goddess showed a slight inclination to side with Ye Renxin and Dugu Bo.

Unbeknownst to him, Dugu Bo seems to have gathered a considerable amount of power by using his hatred for the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San as a bond.

An anti-Tang alliance is slowly forming in secret. Besides the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon who already disliked the Clear Sky Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect who hated Tang San to the core, some academy forces are also gradually joining forces.

As long as the Haotian Sect and Tang Chen show even the slightest weakness, these allied individuals won't hesitate to continue sabotaging the Haotian Sect. Even if the Haotian Sect doesn't encounter any problems, these people will do their best to incite those around them to distance themselves from and be wary of the Haotian Sect.

Regardless of whether Tang San wins or loses, he can no longer reconnect with the neutral Soul Masters and academies and bring them under his command.

Because of his ruthless and vicious methods, even those academies and students who hadn't directly fought against him would instinctively feel disgust upon seeing them. Even if they wouldn't directly stand against him, they would subconsciously maintain a distance and relationship with Tang San, so that their luck wouldn't be affected or devoured by him.

As word spreads among these students, Tang San's reputation on the mainland will suffer, and he will never again experience the kind of uprising where everyone flocks to him like ants in the original story.

If the God of Asura knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
