Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 308, Section 327: Picking Chrysanthemums by the Eastern Fence

Lu Kai wielded his Angelic Double Whips. One whip held Tang San upside down in mid-air, while the other whip lashed repeatedly across Tang San's dark body, like a spinning top, causing Tang San to scream in agony.

In the stands, Flander finally reacted. He stood up and said to the referee, "Referee, we concede. Our Shrek Academy member, Tang San, concedes!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another whip lashed across Tang San's body. Tang San let out a shrill scream and then fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Tang San's body had been whipped to a bloody pulp, a truly gruesome sight. His eyes were glazed over as he trembled as he looked down at the audience. He saw a scene that made him want to vomit blood: Yu Tianheng was holding Xiao Wu's slender waist and making a sighing sound towards him.

Under the multiple blows of excruciating physical pain, soul-wrenching agony, and mental anguish, Tang San coughed up a mouthful of blood and then fainted.

Tang San was carried away on a stretcher. Fortunately, he was already unconscious. If he had seen Xiao Wu not even glancing at him, but instead nestled happily beside Yu Tianheng, with his brothers Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar wagging their tails around Xiao Wu, one wonders what Tang San would have thought.

After Tang San left, Dai Mubai took the stage in the second round.
Dai Mubai's performance was not as bad as Tang San's. Despite being whipped by the Angelic Whip, he fought Lu Kai for several rounds before being eliminated.

After Dai Mubai left the arena, Yu Tianheng entered. Yu Tianheng, relying on his Soul King advantage, defeated Lu Kai despite expending a great deal of energy.

However, after Lu Kai left the field, the next player to take the field for the Spark team was Lin Chen.

Lin Chen displayed the strength of a level 51 Soul King, becoming the fourth Soul King of the Starfire Team. Furthermore, his Martial Soul evolved into the powerful Golden Sacred Dragon. The Golden Sacred Dragon, with its bloodline advantage, suppressed Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and defeated Yu Tianheng without any suspense.

After Yu Tianheng's defeat, Er Ming took the stage. Er Ming's martial soul, Titan Giant Ape, was a match for Lin Chen's Golden Sacred Dragon, but he ultimately lost to Lin Chen.

After Erming was eliminated, the outcome of the competition was no longer in doubt. In the end, Xinghuo Academy defeated Shrek Academy in the ranking match, maintaining its undefeated record.

Although his face was blurry, he looked very young. He was wearing a denim outfit, a cowboy hat, and a small leather whip at his waist. He walked ahead, and Tang San subconsciously followed him.

Where am I? Wait, this is the realm of gods!
Tang San took a deep breath and inhaled the immortal spiritual energy that could grant immortality.

He looked up at the sky, the sky of the gods.

I have arrived in the realm of gods.

So where is this?
Tang San looked ahead and saw a vast field in the realm of gods.

Standing on the edge of the field, the fields stretched out in a vast expanse of white, with cotton flowers in full bloom.

Tang San recognized the crop as Divine Cotton, a raw material for formal wear favored by the high-ranking officials of the God Realm.

This field gave Tang San a sense of familiarity, and soon he remembered it—

Wait a minute, this is my property in the Asura Temple in the God Realm! (Tang San is a dual god, usually residing in the Sea God Temple, but we'll assume the Asura Temple also belongs to Tang San; he owns two temples.)
As one of the five great god kings of the God Realm, Tang San ascended to the God Realm and inherited the rights and legacy of the Asura God. Naturally, he also inherited the Asura God's vast farmland and manor in the God Realm. Based on this, Tang San continued to annex the land assets of the surrounding minor gods, eventually becoming the largest farm owner in the God Realm.

In the God Realm, he owned countless manors and estates, the output of which supported the extravagant lifestyle of the Asura Temple. Logically speaking, as a high-ranking God King in the God Realm, Tang San should only be visiting the Asura Temple, the central government of the God Realm, or taking Xiao Wu to appreciate immortal delicacies; he wouldn't venture into these lower-level manors of the God Realm.

But fifty years into his life in the God Realm, one day, after Tang San had devoted himself to the future development of the God Realm and finished handling government affairs, he was about to relax when he suddenly remembered Tao Yuanming's pastoral scenery of picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence.

So, on a whim, he took Xiao Wu on a clandestine visit to inspect his rural estate.

That day, he and Xiaowu sat on a hill not far from the manor, admiring the fields of the divine fields. The vast fields were planted with divine cotton, and the divine servants were picking the cotton with woven bags. Behind them were the supervising priests of the Asura Temple, who were glaring fiercely at the lower-ranking divine servants with a soul-drawing whip at their waists.

Whenever a servant was seen picking cotton too slowly, the whip would be lashed out viciously, making the servant howl in pain.

That day, he and Xiao Wu sat on a small hill, casually picking a wild, rare chrysanthemum growing there. Breathing in its fragrance, they gazed at the beautiful and romantic pastoral scenery. The sight inspired him to compose a poem. He opened his mouth, but couldn't come up with anything. So, he blurted out: "Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I leisurely gaze at the Southern Mountains."

"Wow, Third Brother, did you write this poem?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, seeing this pastoral scenery inspired me to write this poem." Tang San looked at the vast cotton fields and the figures working like ants on them, as well as those tirelessly wielding whips.

"Wow, Third Brother, you're amazing!"

This stirred up Tang San's memories of the past, so he looked towards that spot, and sure enough, there stood a small hill, the place where he and Xiao Wu relaxed and enjoyed the romantic pastoral scenery.

How did I end up here? Could it be that I've become a god and returned to the Temple of Asura, revisiting this familiar place?

Suddenly, a large whip lashed out and struck Tang San, causing him to howl in pain.

"What are you looking around for? Get over here!" the cowboy priest said angrily, holding a whip in his hand.

Tang San raised his hand in pain, only to find that his skin was dark. He was stunned.

In that moment of distraction, the other party lashed out with a leather whip, causing Tang San to howl in pain.

"You, you dare to hit me?" Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily. Just as he was about to summon his martial soul to fight to the death, he embarrassingly discovered that he couldn't use any of his strength.

"Hey, you black bastard, you've got a temper. You ask me if I dare to whip you? You really deserve a beating." The cowboy tugged at the leather whip in his hand, grinned maliciously, and came in front of Tang San. Then, he lashed out with the whip, one lash after another.

At first, Tang San stubbornly endured the pain, but eventually, unable to bear it any longer, he begged for mercy.

"No, stop smoking, please spare me, please spare me."
