Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 267, Section 286: Xue Qinghe (end: Qian Renxue)
"Tang San, I have something to discuss with you. Can you come with me somewhere?" Ning Fengzhi said.

"Hmm." Tang San nodded, vaguely guessing Ning Fengzhi's purpose.

Ning Fengzhi led Tang San to a teahouse, where they met a young man.

The young man's gaze shifted to Tang San. "This must be Brother Tang San, whom Uncle Ning speaks so highly of."

"I dare not accept such praise." Tang San bowed slightly to the young man, thinking to himself: Just as I expected.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. Ah San, this is His Highness Xue Qinghe, the current Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Tang San raised his head and carefully examined Xue Qinghe.

As a reborn person, he naturally knew the true identity of the prince in front of him. The original Xue Qinghe was indulging in poetry and painting and had no ambition.

According to Dai Mubai, Xue Qinghe's two brothers died mysteriously one after the other more than ten years ago, and he quickly became the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, enjoying a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and has become the de facto successor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Then there's no doubt that this person is Qian Renxue.

"So it's Your Highness, Tang San greets you." Tang San bowed slightly, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Even knowing the other party's identity, Tang San did not intend to expose him, because in Tang San's eyes, the Heaven Dou Cult was an extremely foolish plan.

Qian Renxue's talent far surpasses his own. If she hadn't wasted her time on palace intrigue and power struggles, but instead focused on cultivation and pursuing the pinnacle of the Soul Master realm, she could have become a god ten years earlier. In that case, Qian Renxue, who became a god ten years ago, would pose a tremendous threat to him.

Of course, Tang San didn't think that Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood ten years earlier than his posed any threat to him. After all, he was the chosen child of the Asura God, and the Asura God belonged to which faction in the God Realm? How could he sit idly by and watch himself die at Qian Renxue's hands before he had even grown up?

Even the fact that Qian Renxue was sent to participate in this plot to seize the country was the result of the Asura God's planning behind the scenes.

The reason Qian Renxue made this decision was influenced by Bibi Dong. Behind Bibi Dong was the Rakshasa God. Although the Rakshasa God was openly an enemy of the Asura God, Tang San only realized that the two gods had a relationship after he became the Asura God.

Thinking of this, Tang San felt a surge of superiority. Whether angels or Rakshasa, they were all just whetstones for him in this life. Bibi Dong was the first of the three gods to face the divine trials, yet she became the last to ascend to godhood. Qian Renxue had the advantage of talent and age compared to him, but she was delayed by the power struggles and intrigues of the Heavenly Battle. What was all of this for?

They were all waiting for me, Tang San. It wasn't until I was close to becoming a god that the gods of the divine realm allowed Qian Renxue to become a god and put me through trials. When I became a god and overpowered Qian Renxue, they released Bibi Dong to become a god to further hone me (although I messed up and unexpectedly died at Bibi Dong's hands. I was careless and didn't use Flash! But it's okay, I can still be resurrected).

Oh~ The whole world, the whole era, revolves around me, Tang San. The vast majority of resources in this life are enjoyed by me, Tang San. I eat meat, and the people around me drink soup. Others can only stare in envy. This is the treatment of the chosen one. It's truly amazing! Xue Qinghe exclaimed, "If Uncle Ning hadn't told me, I would have found it hard to believe that you are only fourteen years old. Back when I was fourteen, I was just an ignorant boy. It's a pleasure to meet you. If you don't mind, call me Brother Xue. Let's not mention the title of Crown Prince."

Ning Fengzhi said from the side, "Alright, let's sit down and talk. The green tea here is quite good. Ah San, you should try some too."

In this life, Tang San did not search for information about his father. Therefore, Ning Fengzhi introduced Xue Qinghe to Tang San simply to make an introduction and build connections.

Tang San dealt with Xue Qinghe in a very professional manner, thinking to himself: Ning Fengzhi is probably still being kept in the dark by Qian Renxue, this fake crown prince.

After bidding farewell to Ning Fengzhi, Tang San left the teahouse and looked up at the sky.

From their previous conversation, Tang San had confirmed that Qian Renxue hadn't changed at all in this life. Therefore, Qian Renxue posed no threat to him at present. On the contrary, letting her continue her dream of seizing the Heaven Dou Empire would only hinder her cultivation talent. He only needed to expose Qian Renxue's conspiracy at the crucial moment to ruin her plans of over twenty years.

Of course, Qian Renxue could also be used as a hostage to threaten the Spirit Hall if necessary, but that's not necessary for now.

Qian Renxue was not his biggest threat at the moment. Thinking of the threat he posed, Tang San's expression darkened.
He recalled the scenes from the illusion, the illusion's realism causing Tang San to experience a cognitive bias: Was he the chosen child of the Asura God, or was Xiao Wu the Asura God's sword sheath, and only by obtaining Xiao Wu could he obtain the Asura God's position? These two perceptions were becoming increasingly confused deep within Tang San's consciousness.
But regardless of which one is real, for Tang San, the Asura Godhood is his, and Xiao Wu must also be his.

His greatest threat lies not outside, but within Shrek Academy. Yu Tianheng, that scoundrel who dared to pursue Xiao Wu, and Er Ming, that scoundrel who used the guise of being his younger brother to get close to Xiao Wu (why don't you just wait for me in the forest to accept your sacrifice?) are both threats to Tang San.

They have a spirit fusion skill with Xiao Wu. Tang San cannot attack them before gaining Xiao Wu's love and permission, otherwise he will only gain Xiao Wu's hatred. The only thing he can do is to win Xiao Wu's love and make her love him as she did in his previous life. Only then can he use his means to eliminate these two bastards who are courting death.

Tang San looked up at the Blue Silver Grass Soul Imprint and the Clear Sky Hammer Soul Imprint.

Although adding a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer could rapidly increase his strength and thus win Xiao Wu's favor, which was very attractive to Tang San, Tang San had a better plan in mind, and he was far from reaching the point of adding a spirit ring to his second spirit.

"Let's upgrade the Blue Silver Grass's bloodline to Blue Silver Emperor first," Tang San thought to himself.

Although I don't have the Ice and Fire Body Refinement skill, having the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul should be enough to handle the upcoming matches and prevent me from falling behind Yu Tianheng. Those two bastards, Er Ming and Yu Tianheng, are just too much of a suicidal bastard.

With this in mind, Tang San felt much more relaxed and returned to Shrek Academy's base.

When he returned to Shrek Academy's residence, the round of the competition had just ended, and Yu Xiaogang, Flander, Liu Erlong, and others were announcing something.
