The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 276 She noticed Yu Xiaogang

Qian Renxue followed Qian Daoliu back to the temple. As soon as they entered, they saw Bibi Dong standing in the hall, looking up at the angel statue, seemingly lost in thought.

Perhaps startled by the sound of footsteps, Bibi Dong turned her head to look at the two of them: "You're back."

Her tone was flat, tinged with a few sighs; it lacked both the joy of a mother seeing her child and the indifference of a stranger.

But this very attitude shattered Qian Renxue's previous pleasant mood: "What are you doing here?"

Bibi Dong lowered her eyelids and was momentarily speechless.

Upon learning that Qian Renxue had returned to Wuhun City, she didn't know what she was thinking and came here in a daze. But when she actually saw her in person, she didn't know what to say.

A mix of hatred and familial affection lingered within her, and she was unsure of her true feelings for Qian Renxue.

Qian Daoliu watched the mother and daughter silently from the side.

If possible, he hoped that Bibi Dong and her granddaughter could develop a closer relationship.

Everyone says blood is thicker than water, and even tigers don't eat their cubs. He didn't believe that Bibi Dong really had no feelings for her daughter at all.

He had considered killing Bibi Dong, but considering that Qian Xunji was already dead, it would be too tragic for a child to kill her granddaughter's mother as well.

Fortunately, Bibi Dong has passed through her most frenzied period. Although her strength is becoming increasingly unpredictable, her emotions are much more stable than they were years ago.

Each of the three was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and the magnificent hall fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, Bibi Dong broke the silence first: "Now that you're back, you should get some rest."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the hall.

However, perhaps sensing that her performance just now was too weak, she paused in her steps: "I have heard about the matter of the Second Elder. Since you have your own plans, I will not try to persuade you. However, you still need to be careful of Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Their strength is too great now, and it will be difficult for you to control them."

She knew Qian Renxue wouldn't listen, but she couldn't remain silent.

Qian Daoliu watched Bibi Dong leave the palace gate, then smiled at Qian Renxue, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said, "Xiaoxue, what she said does make some sense."

"Grandpa, even you say that!" Qian Renxue was furious, and her strong empress demeanor was nowhere to be seen; she was just like a child from an ordinary family.

Upon seeing this, Qian Daoliu laughed heartily: "But don't worry, you still have your grandfather and mother. As long as you are strong enough, no one will dare to have any other thoughts about you."

Meanwhile, outside the City of Slaughter, Tang San slowly put away the Eight Spider Lances and silently listened to the divine decree that came to his ears.

[The first test of the Rakshasa God's Trial: Pass by absorbing the life force of one hundred people. Reward: Level 2 Soul Power, and all Soul Rings gain a one hundred-year lifespan cap.]

A massive surge of energy seemed to pour directly into his body from the void. Tang San was both surprised and delighted, intoxicated by the exhilarating feeling of his rapidly increasing strength.

"Level 68, not far from level 69. Is this the power of a god? He can actually create power out of thin air." Tang San sneered and clenched his fist tightly.

When he received this mission, he had thought of hunting soul beasts to complete it, since there were many low-level soul beasts. However, he changed his mind after his trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

He then turned his gaze to the area around the Killing City.

There are many people here, and even if they are not heinous criminals, they are still petty thieves. Tang San felt no burden in dealing with such people. It would be a good deed for the world to have fewer such people.

Moreover, the life force he absorbed from humans was far purer than that from soul beasts, so he didn't need to go through the trouble of refining it, which led to his rapid increase in cultivation.

Feeling the real feedback from the divine test, Tang San slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the divine decree to descend.

Now that he has received divine assistance, he believes his strength will soon catch up with Li Xun's.

In a void outside the realm of gods.

Rakshasa leaned back in a soft recliner, observing Tang San's condition with his divine sense: "This is really boring. I thought I could find some fun, but I didn't expect this kid to be completely unlike Bibi Dong when she devoured living beings."

"What should we do next?" Rakshasa God pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

In the blink of an eye, a flash of inspiration struck him: "I've got it! Didn't he just make a deal with those soul beasts? Let's do that."

Lower bound

A majestic divine voice suddenly resounded in Tang San's mind: "[Rakshasa God Trial, Second Trial: Devour the life force of five hundred soul beasts]"

Stunned, unable to comprehend.

Tang San frowned as he looked at the assessment requirements, his mood instantly becoming complicated.

He had just made good friends with the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and because of their bloodline and Da Ming's guarantee, they had even made some agreements. Unexpectedly, the content of the divine test was to make him devour soul beasts.

Lost in thought and conflicted, Tang San's consciousness suddenly descended into chaos. A voice in the darkness told him he shouldn't do this, but in an instant, it was overshadowed by his desire for power and his hatred for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Li Xun.

Different voices tried to persuade the other party, and gradually, the voice that told him first was drowned out, because he suddenly realized that there were many other places in this world besides the Star Dou Great Forest where there were a large number of soul beasts.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

He could have completed the second test of the divine trial without breaking the agreement.

Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light shooting out, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

The flow of time in the divine realm is different from that in the mortal realm. Rakshasa God, who originally thought he could watch some fun, froze with a smile when he saw Tang San's direction of movement.

After a moment, Rakshasa regained his senses, gritting his teeth: "Fine, fine, I guess I didn't think it through enough."

She no longer needed to pay attention to this second test, because even if Tang San performed exceptionally well, it wouldn't be what she wanted to see.

Rakshasa Goddess knew of Tang San's talent, but she also had Bibi Dong, whose talent was similar to Tang San's, under her control, so she wasn't worried about having no one to inherit her godhood.

If she really wanted to find an heir, she would have just found someone decent enough and let them pass the test to free herself up. Why would she have to hide and be wary of the Asura God?

What does her talent matter, or what the content of the divine test is? It's all up to her.

Rakshasa God's divine sense continuously scanned the continent, and soon he saw a person who was related to both Tang San and Bibi Dong: Yu Xiaogang.

Luofeng Town is a small town in the Starfall Empire. Although it is not large, it is quite prosperous because it is close to the official road leading to Tiandou and can engage in trade.

Most importantly, the Starry Sky Forest is just a hundred miles away from the town.

Therefore, although this place is relatively small, it is not bad compared to a town.

Yu Xiaogang became a teacher in this small town.

However, unlike Notting College, this is not only a smaller private institution, but it also does not have a principal to look after it.
