Chapter 610: Chapter 608: Tang San's Conviction, Stepping on Xu Ran, Climbing to the Pinnacle of Life_1
"Xiaosan, why don't we sneak away in the middle of the night?"
Brock swallowed hard, his voice tinged with apprehension. Upon learning of Qian Renxue's return and her involvement with Xu Ran, he sensed that something terrible was imminent, and fear supplanted his fighting spirit.
Just the thought of his dire situation back in the Aquipeia Forest, the despair in his face, made him shiver uncontrollably.
Xu Ran was too ruthless, his methods were truly unbearable. Even the strongest willed could not endure such torment.
He had once hoped to rely on Martial Soul Hall to kill Xu Ran, but now, he had to abandon that plan.
Although Bibi Dong was compliant with him on some issues, Xu Ran was Qian Renxue's boyfriend. Would Bibi Dong really act against Qian Renxue's lover?
Knowing Bibi Dong as he did, he was certain she would never do such a thing.
Bibi Dong was a person of deep emotions, and that was why, after arriving at the Martial Soul Hall, he was able to rely on her. Thus, it was very likely that Bibi Dong would not act against Xu Ran. Not only would she not act, but she would also try to foster a good relationship with him and even find ways to help him resolve the conflict with Xu Ran.
But how could the deep grudges between him and Xu Ran ever be resolved?
Even if he did not take action against Xu Ran, would Xu Ran let him go? Impossible!
"Run? Where can we run to?" Tang San scoffed at himself. The world was vast, yet there was no place for him, Tang San, to call home. The Xingluo Empire, the Tiandou Empire, Martial Soul Hall—wherever one went, Xu Ran's informants were there.
And what would it mean to run now anyway?
His mother was still in Xu Ran's clutches. Though she was safe for the moment, with nothing untoward happening to her, that could change in the future.
If he ran, would he still be human?
His father, Hao Tian Douluo, had already been killed by Xu Ran. If his mother were ever in danger, how could he live on, skulking in the shadows? If that happened, even surviving would be meaningless.
"Teacher, don't panic. Xu Ran can't touch us in the Martial Soul Hall. With Aunt Dong there, Xu Ran wouldn't dare give us a hard time. What kind of waves can Xu Ran and Qian Renxue stir up upon their arrival at Martial Soul Hall? In the end, Martial Soul Hall is still under Aunt Dong's control," Tang San calmed down, a chill glinting in his eyes. He had become too agitated earlier to think of this. Even if Xu Ran, with the help of Qian Dao Liu and others, managed to completely change the landscape of Martial Soul Hall, it would take time.
For now, Martial Soul Hall was still in the hands of Pope Bibi Dong. As long as Bibi Dong still loved the teacher, everything was under his control.
He had enough time to manipulate everything.
Martial Soul Hall—he never intended to rely on this power to destroy Xu Ran. He only wanted to annoy Xu Ran.
Strong as Martial Soul Hall was, it was unlikely to cause Xu Ran any devastating harm.
His real trump card was the Divine Realm.
The Divine Realm didn't like Xu Ran. He only needed to sow discord between Xu Ran and the powers of the Divine Realm to have Xu Ran killed a hundred times over. As the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, his ascension to godhood was a foregone conclusion. If the Divine Kings wanted to draw him over to their side, they would have to pay a price, lending him strength to annihilate Xu Ran.
He, Tang San, was one of the Divine Realm's own, whereas Xu Ran was an outsider, an uncertainty.
No matter when, he only needed to make use of his identity, allowing himself to become a chess piece in the struggle and competition between the Divine Realm and Xu Ran. This was his true trump card.
The previous Rakshasa God was murdered by Xu Ran in secret, eventually only succeeding in benefiting him. The Divine Realm would not allow such a thing to happen again.
"Xu Ran, just wait. Let yourself run wild for a few more days; your death is coming soon," Tang San's eyes flashed with a hint of madness. He had been reborn, and he was no fool. It was only that he had been previously suppressed by Xu Ran, humiliated by Xu Ran, which disturbed his mind and threw his composure into disarray.
In fact, every time, wasn't he using his own advantages to compete with Xu Ran? Blue Tyrant Academy, the brilliant use of hidden weapons against the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, the massive power of the four great clans left by his father, and now the Martial Soul Hall...
Unfortunately, every time his advantage ended up, through some stroke of bad luck, becoming Xu Ran's advantage, and ultimately turned into his own disadvantage.
Previously he was always one move short, but now everything was completely different. Two Divine Kings from the Divine Realm were in the lower realm, and even though they came and went without a trace, he was clear that these two Divine Kings were somewhere observing them.
Xu Ran had advantages in the lower realm, having relations with so many people. But he did not believe Xu Ran could also associate with the Divine Kings of the Divine Realm. Xu Ran was able to pursue Qian Renxue, but could he possibly manage to charm the Life Goddess?
The Life Goddess was one of the oldest and highest gods of the Divine Realm, her true form being the Ancient Life Tree, and she was a forbidden delight of the Destruction God. If Xu Ran could get on good terms with the Life Goddess, Tang San would stand on his head to defecate.
Could Xu Ran have such capability?
The Destruction God would have to kill him.
The Destruction God possessed terrifying authority in the Divine Realm; Xu Ran wouldn't dare to offend him.
If Xu Ran knew that he had unwittingly caught the attention of two Divine Kings, he would probably wet himself, no longer daring to have any other ambitions.
A Divine King was not an entity Xu Ran could control. Xu Ran's past achievements were nothing in their eyes.
"Xiaosan, what trump cards do you have?" Brock looked at Tang San in astonishment, noticing the sudden confidence in Tang San's expression, which also alleviated some of his own panic.
"Teacher, just watch. This time, I want Xu Ran dead! When the finals of the advanced Soul Master academy competition arrive, I will move against Xu Ran with all my might. I am no longer the same as I was at the beginning. If I make a full effort, even Qian Dao Liu would not be my opponent," Tang San said confidently. Anything related to a god was beyond the comparison of mere mortals.
He was not only the Inheritor of the Rakshasa God; his body also possessed the Martial Soul of the Rakshasa God.
The Rakshasa God's hatred for Xu Ran was no less intense than his own.
"And what if you fail?" Brock's voice trembled. He knew that Tang San's strength had improved so quickly these past days; there had to be a secret behind it.
If Tang San made a name for himself on the Continent, then his, Brock's, name would also resound throughout the land. But if Tang San lost, he would be disgraced forever. Then, everyone would say that Tang San, with Twin Martial Souls and being such a genius, was turned into a waste under his guidance.
"Don't worry, even if I lose, there won't be any consequences," Tang San expressed his displeasure. This time he was determined to kill Xu Ran, to trample Xu Ran underfoot, to marry his Precious Xiao Wu, to rescue his beautiful mother, and, incidentally, to take Xu Ran's other beauties as his concubines and then ascend to the pinnacle of life.
Heh heh heh!
But there was no problem even if he truly couldn't defeat Xu Ran; the Destruction God would protect his life. He was inheriting from a First-Level God, an existence second only to the Evil God within the Evil Camp. If he sided with the Destruction Camp, the influence of the Destruction God in the Divine Realm would continue to expand, and the Destruction God would definitely not disregard his life.
