Chapter 183: End of the Live Stream, Divine Spirit Herbs Fully Evolved!
After the livestream exposed the truth, Lin Yu wasted no time tagging Tang San and mocking him.
Meanwhile, in the camp of the Strength Clan...
Tang San's face turned red with anger at Lin Yu's ridicule, but he still stubbornly refused to admit it.
In Tang San's mind, he saw himself as a principled, righteous warrior who always repaid his debts. Any accusation of hypocrisy was pure slander!
During the live stream, Dugu Bo and the Jade Phosphor Clan weren't even true members of the Tang Sect yet, and the solution to Jade Phosphor's poison was a secret technique of the sect.
According to Tang Sect rules, that knowledge couldn't be passed on to outsiders.
Tang San was born into the Tang Sect in his previous life—why shouldn't he follow the sect's rules now?
Besides, that was just a future shown in the livestream. What did it have to do with his present? Even if it did, that was a future version of the Tang Sect, not the one he belonged to now! How could it possibly be relevant?
[Tang San (furious): Lies! Absolute lies! I, Tang San, always repay kindness with kindness. Who knows if this future broadcast is even real?]
[Anyone who truly knows me would vouch for my character. A mere live stream doesn't define me!]
Enraged, Tang San continued to argue with Lin Yu in the livestream, sticking to one defense: The broadcast was fake!
Lin Yu, however, was unfazed, dismissing Tang San with a cold smile.
To Lin Yu, it was no surprise that someone as hypocritical as Tang San wouldn't own up to his true nature. But the truth was clear to most watching the stream.
As Lin Yu decided to drop the argument, back at the Strength Clan's camp, Taitan, one of their leaders, was also feeling conflicted.
They had risked their clan's very survival to shelter Tang Hao and his son Tang San, yet when Tang San acquired the reward, not a single one was shared as a gesture of thanks.
Even the last time when Tang San obtained Qi and Blood Pills, he reluctantly gave only one out of the nine pills he had.
Repay kindness with kindness? Hardly.
Still, despite Taitan's misgivings, his loyalty to Tang Hao and Tang San remained, knowing they were too entangled now to back out.
However, after witnessing the livestream and seeing Dugu Bo and the Jade Phosphor Clan's fate, Taitan's trust in the father-and-son duo began to wane.
Tang San's actions—betraying allies and showing no remorse for his ruthless methods—were becoming increasingly alarming.
Remembering Lin Yu's words that the Strength Clan, along with three other great clans, might also perish in the future, Taitan couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
[Ding! The live stream Q&A has concluded. The stream will close in three minutes. You may choose to exit freely.]
[The next live stream Q&A will take place in three months!]
After Lin Yu and Tang San's argument subsided, a blood-red notification appeared in front of everyone, and the system's cold voice announced the next session.
Three months? Many were surprised but pleased at the shorter interval. The Q&A difficulty for a three-month gap was far less challenging compared to a six-month break. This session had already been more manageable than expected.
With the live stream over, viewers began to exit.
But while the stream had ended, the fallout was just beginning.
This time, the broadcast revealed that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was in Dugu Bo's possession. Seeing the many divine herbs growing around the area in the stream, countless factions were now plotting to get a piece of the action.
Of course, not everyone could stand a chance against Dugu Bo. He resided in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, making it difficult for the Star Luo Empire to intervene. And with Dugu Bo's strength as a Titled Douluo, most smaller soul master factions would be committing suicide if they tried to challenge him.
However, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Spirit Hall, and the powerful Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, all based near Heaven Dou City, were certainly capable of demanding their share.
In Spirit Hall...
As soon as the stream ended, Bibi Dong immediately ordered Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei to prepare. They were to notify Qian Daoliu and his elders, and together they would head to Heaven Dou City to eliminate Tang Hao and his son. While there, they would also make sure to take advantage of Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At the same time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family were making their plans, sending leaders or representatives to Dugu Bo's residence.
There was no way Dugu Bo would be allowed to keep the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to himself. With the priceless spirit herbs it contained, he would have to make concessions.
...
Meanwhile, near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...
After exiting the stream, Lin Yu opened his eyes. But something felt off. Glancing around, he noticed that the spirit herbs nearby weren't absorbing as much spiritual energy as before.
Could it be…?
An idea suddenly struck Lin Yu. Activating his external spirit bone, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical pupil, he unleashed his spirit skill, Destiny Eye, scanning the herbs around him.
What he saw made him grin with excitement.
According to his Destiny Eye, after four or five months of nurturing under his Chaos Lotus Martial Soul and Chaos Domain, most of the divine spirit herbs had finally evolved!
Among them, the ones Lin Yu intended to consume included the Eight-Petal Ice Grass, the Fiery Apricot, the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, and the Autumn Dew.
The Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot could not only help refine his body through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well but also grant immunity to both extreme temperatures.
The Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum would strengthen his muscles and bones, potentially granting him a near-invulnerable body. Though not indestructible, its effects were impressive. Meanwhile, the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone would nourish his body and open up his meridians, perfectly complementing the chrysanthemum's abilities.
As for the Autumn Dew, Lin Yu planned to use it to enhance his Dual Pupils Martial Soul, hoping it might awaken some of its hidden powers.
