Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 253 272. God King’s Bet (2)

Tang San's explanation failed to satisfy everyone. Yu Tianheng crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "Hmph, so what if it's as you say? What if you lose? If you lose at the start, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of our Shrek team. Can you, Tang San, bear that responsibility?"

Ma Hongjun said, "With the Indians in command, we charge forward. There's no team battle we can't win."

"Don't be so sure of yourself. You lost to Xinghuo last time because we weren't on the field." Erming looked at Tang San coldly and said, "Let's talk about what to do if we lose according to your plan, Tang San."

What if he loses? Tang San clenched his fists, his body trembling, as if he was hesitating about something.

Dai Mubai nudged Tang San with his elbow and said, "Tang San, I, Dai Mubai, will always stand behind you and support you."

“Yes, Ah San, I, Ma Hongjun, am also standing behind you,” Ma Hongjun said upon seeing him.

"We, the three heroes of Shrek Academy, will stand with you, Tang San, through thick and thin."

“Young Master, I support you too, what are you afraid of?” Tyrone said.

Hearing that so many friends and servants were supporting him, Tang San was so moved that his eyes began to sting. Then, with reddened eyes, he looked at Yu Tianheng and said, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Tang San initiated the God King's Bet.

"What kind of bet?" Yu Tianheng asked.

"Tomorrow you'll go on stage in my order of appearance. If I win, you'd better get out of Xiao Wu's sight!" Tang San roared, his eyes bloodshot and his breath ragged.

"So what if you lose?" Yu Tianheng countered.

"If I lose, I, I, I..." Tang San hesitated. On the contrary, he could not accept leaving Xiao Wu. He asked in return, "Then what will you do?"

Yu Tianheng glanced at Tang San with disdain, then pulled the unsuspecting Xiao Wu into his arms. (Tang San's eyes immediately turned red, and he began to pant heavily.) He said, "Who Xiao Wu is with or not depends on her own wishes, not mine. In my heart, Xiao Wu is the lover I'm pursuing, not an object. Love shouldn't be selfish; it should be selfless. Loving her means unconditionally accepting everything about her. How can you deprive Xiao Wu of her right to interact with others just because of a bet?"

At this moment, Yu Tianheng seemed to be standing on the moral high ground, looking down at Tang San and pointing fingers at him.

“I accept your bet, but for Xiao Wu’s sake, my love, I will not make a bet that would put Xiao Wu in a difficult position. I will not deprive her of the right to date you, Ah San. If you lose, then I, Yu Tianheng, will be in charge of personnel arrangements and tactical planning for the next round of the competition.”

At this moment, Tang San was so frustrated he felt like he was going to vomit blood. As wise as he was, he quickly understood Yu Tianheng's sinister intentions. He wanted to use this comparison to make his image in Xiao Wu's mind appear noble and righteous, while making himself appear selfish and despicable in Xiao Wu's mind.

No, this bet can't be set up like this, otherwise Xiao Wu will hate me even more. Just as Tang San was about to speak—

Dai Mubai spoke first, "Alright, let's do as you say. The bet is settled. If we win, Yu Tianheng, you, get out of Xiao Wu's sight right now. Xiao Wu belongs to us, A-San." Yu Tianheng said, "Alright, the bet is officially settled."

Tang San was powerless to change the situation at this point.

"Tianheng, you're so good to Xiaowu." After saying that, Xiaowu turned to look at Tang San, her eyes filled with disgust and scrutiny: "Tang San, Tianheng is right. Xiaowu is not your possession. How can you deprive Xiaowu of the right to interact with others through a bet? You are so selfish. Xiaowu hates you."

"Xiao Wu, that's not what I meant!" Tang San trembled as he reached out to Xiao Wu, wanting to explain. But Xiao Wu turned around, her scorpion tail braid lashing across Tang San's face, leaving him with a longing yet receding silhouette.

Tang San's hands fell limply to his sides. He lowered his head, obscuring his facial expression (his eyes were red and he was panting heavily). His hands were clenched tightly. "Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianheng, you, you have a death wish. I will kill you, and not only you, but also the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and everyone related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan by blood, everything."
Dai Mubai scratched the back of his head. He approached Tang San, looking bewildered, and asked, "Tang San, I think I made a mistake. I thought this bet was in your favor, so I quickly agreed to it. Who knew..."

Tang San looked up at Dai Mubai and said, "It's okay, Mubai, I know you didn't mean it." He sighed inwardly. Mubai was a reliable and brotherly brother, but he had one problem: he wasn't very smart, was impulsive, and often did bad things with good intentions.

"What should we do next?" Ma Hongjun asked worriedly. "A-San, what about you and Sister-in-law Xiao Wu?"

Tang San said coldly, "Yu Tianheng dared to make this kind of bet with me because he's betting that we won't win tomorrow. If we win tomorrow and that guy still shamelessly clings to Xiao Wu's side, then he's a person without integrity."

“That’s right,” Oscar said, then he began to speak up for Tang San: “Hmph, that bastard Yu Tianheng, what’s so great about him? All he can do is have a fusion skill with Xiao Wu’s Martial Soul. He cultivates quickly because of the fusion skill. Other than that, what makes him better than our Tang San? If Tang San had started cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, that bastard wouldn’t have had a chance.”

"Hmph, in front of the young master's Clear Sky Hammer, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus is nothing but a mudfish," Tyrone boasted.

"What does he have to be so proud of? Once our Ah San starts cultivating the Haotian Hammer, he'll only be fit to be our Ah San's shoe-shiner," Dai Mubai said.

Ma Hongjun said, "Our A-San can contend with the gods when he explodes the rings, can Yu Tianheng do that?"

Tang San was deeply moved as he listened to the Shrek Three heroes speaking up for him. He raised the back of his hand, and the phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer Soul Imprint appeared on it. Tang San's eyes glazed over for a moment before he lowered them again.

"Alright, now our focus is still on tomorrow's competition. We must win a great victory tomorrow, not only for the glory of Shrek Academy, but also to wash away our past shame."

After saying that, Tang San added in his mind: It's also for tomorrow, so that Xiao Wu can see my heroic figure in the Soul Arena, and let her know who the man she should love is. Her enemy is Bibi Dong, and only twin martial souls can deal with her. Yu Tianheng is just a ghost, only I can avenge Xiao Wu.

"The moment I win back Xiao Wu's heart will be the day you, Yu Tianheng, die," Tang San thought viciously.
