The more Tang San thought about it, the more he felt a sense of pride. The tension in his heart gradually relaxed.
He had been full of fear before, especially after his defeat against Liu Yuan's clone at Jialing Pass. Combining the enmity between him, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Yuan, Tang San knew that both sides were in for a relentless battle. Since he returned to the Heaven Dou Empire's camp, he had been afraid and felt unsafe.
If Liu Yuan's real body arrived, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang would definitely meet a miserable end. That's why Tang San couldn't even eat properly, fearing the worst.
But now, Tang San finally understood that he wasn't without options.
If his current strength was insufficient, he could go to Sea God Island to improve and inherit the Sea God's legacy. He believed that once he became the Sea God, his strength would undergo a complete transformation.
By then, even the Holy Spirit Church's Master would not be his match!
Thinking of this, Tang San left his tent and went to find Yu Xiaogang, sharing all his thoughts with him.
"Are you planning to complete the divine test on Sea God Island and inherit the Sea God's position?"
"That's good. It will at least help you improve your strength."
"Currently, you're no match for him, that's for sure."
"However, the gap between above-god and below-god is immense. My thoughts are the same as yours. Before becoming a god, you can't beat him, but after becoming a god, he definitely won't be your match."
"After all, no matter how powerful he is, he's still a mortal. On the other hand, once you become a god, you'll be the mighty Sea God. At that point, crushing him will be as easy as squashing an ant."
"I support you, and after your injuries have mostly healed, feel free to go. With me here, there won't be any problems."
Naturally, Yu Xiaogang fully supported Tang San's plan. He also acknowledged that Tang San's current strength wasn't enough to match Liu Yuan's.
But his thoughts were the same as Tang San's. Since Tang San's strength wasn't enough for now, he should go to Sea God Island and receive the inheritance.
Yu Xiaogang was confident that after Tang San completed all the divine tests and became the new Sea God, he wouldn't be inferior to Liu Yuan anymore. After all, Liu Yuan was still just a mortal.
Feeling grateful, Tang San's heart calmed down after receiving Yu Xiaogang's support.
Since his defeat at Jialing Pass, this was the first time he had a smile on his face. He suddenly realized that his future was still bright. Although the current situation might seem gloomy, it was just the darkness before dawn. Once he endured through it successfully, he would see the light again.
After saying these words, Tang San intended to go back to rest. His injuries weren't severe, and he believed they would heal completely with some rest. So he wanted to rest early and set out as soon as possible.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
Unexpectedly, just as Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were about to rest, a burst of loud alarms resounded through the military camp. The voices of the Heaven Dou Empire soldiers continuously shouted "enemy attack."
The pride on Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's faces froze instantly. The once bright future now seemed dim again.
They were both filled with fear, as they knew that the person attacking now was Liu Yuan, who had already defeated them with just a clone.
"Enemy attack? Who is it? Is it Bibi Dong, or the Holy Spirit Church's Master from the daytime?"
The Heaven Dou Empire soldiers had already come to report to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. Tang San immediately questioned the soldier, with a plan forming in his mind.
If it wasn't the Holy Spirit Church's Master, he could stay and fight.
If it was really him, Tang San would have no choice but to run away with Yu Xiaogang.
After the battle during the day, Tang San fully understood that he was no match for Liu Yuan, so he absolutely didn't want to confront him again. If the enemy was Liu Yuan, Tang San could only choose to escape.
"It's not them; it's a few worships from the Spirit Hall. They are very strong, with their soul power cultivation above level ninety-five. I request King's assistance!"
The soldier's answer completely surprised Tang San. The Heaven Dou Empire soldiers directly replied to Tang San's inquiry.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang both breathed a sigh of relief.
The fear and dread on their faces disappeared completely, replaced by a sense of arrogance.
"It's not him? Then why be afraid?"
"Cough, what I meant to say was, even if he comes, I'm not scared. I was careless during the day."
"I actually want to fight him again."
"But this time, it's not him, so there's nothing to be afraid of. They are just some worships from the Spirit Hall? Their soul power cultivation is above level ninety-five? Very well, I'll go and kill them all!"
Tang San's spirits rose again.
To be honest, even if they were above level ninety-five Title Douluos, what did it matter?
Tang San's cultivation itself was above level ninety, and he had several spirit bones on him. Some of his spirit rings were even ten-thousand-year-level.
The most important thing was that he possessed the divine tool Sea God Trident. For Tang San, as long as the enemy wasn't Liu Yuan or Qian Dao Liu, he had no reason to fear.
So, after hearing that the enemy was just some worships from the Spirit Hall, Tang San's heart became arrogant again. He smiled lightly at the Heaven Dou Empire soldier, then held the Sea God Trident and rushed towards the battlefield.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the six worships had already entered the Heaven Dou Empire's camp, yelling and taunting. They were specifically targeting Tang San and didn't stop insulting him.
"But this so-called Tang San is it?"
"He was actually defeated without putting up a fight when the enemy came to attack?"
"Even Bibi Dong lost to such a weakling?"
"What a disgrace to our Spirit Hall!"
"That idiot Bibi Dong will be useless once our Miss grows up. I'll kill her to avenge Young Master Qian Xunji!"
