Chapter 264: 283. I'll Take Good Care of Xiao Wu for You
In the Asura God assessment, the High Priest assessment progressed faster than Yu Tianheng's divine test, so Tang San advanced to Limit Douluo faster than Yu Tianheng.
Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng had reached the sixth test of the Asura God.
In the Asura God Hall, Tang San's eyes turned red, and he breathed heavily like an ox while looking at Yu Tianheng holding Xiao Wu. He thought viciously in his heart: Yu Tianheng, you despicable dog seeking death, I've finally waited for this day. You want to inherit the Asura God position? You're not worthy. Today, I'll make you perish here!
Thus, both sides came to the altar in the Asura God Hall. The Asura God descended the content of the sixth test:
Asura God Sixth Test
Assessment Content: The god chosen one and the scabbard take the field together to challenge the High Priest and persist for six minutes to complete the assessment. Dying on the arena or being defeated by the High Priest counts as failure. The failed god chosen one and scabbard will be erased and their souls extinguished—
Completion Reward: Asura God affinity +20, soul ring years +10000
Tang San and Yu Tianheng both received this assessment content, leaving Tang San, who had planned to fight fiercely in the assessment, dumbfounded.
"No, Asura God, what do you mean? What does it mean for the god chosen one and scabbard to take the field together? That means Xiao Wu has to go up too, and if we lose, Xiao Wu will also be erased, and her soul extinguished with no chance of revival?" Tang San questioned the Asura God's statue with a constipated expression.
What he got was the Asura God's affirmation.
Tang San: "@#￥%￥%..."
If the Asura God sixth test's opponent for Tang San was only that dog Yu Tianheng, then Tang San would unhesitatingly defeat him with thunderous force. After all, he wished he could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin! But if the cost included Xiao Wu...
Instantly, Tang San's face wore a mask of pain!
On the divine altar, Tang San watched Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng come to challenge him together like a divine couple. His heart was in extreme pain. Clearly, the one accompanying Xiao Wu to inherit the Asura God assessment should have been me, Tang San—
Both sides fought on the arena.
Due to the divine test, the sacrificial assessment's Tang San was like he had been injected with steroids and was already a Limit Douluo, while Yu Tianheng and Xiao Wu had only cultivated to Title Douluo at normal speed. Thus, even with their martial soul fusion technique, Tang San easily forced them into a desperate situation.
The Dragon Rabbit martial soul was cleaved by the Asura Sword. Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng spat blood and fell on the altar. They supported each other to stand up. Tang San looked at them with pained eyes. Five minutes had already passed.
"To reach this point, I didn't expect this kind of result." Yu Tianheng spat a mouthful of blood. He realized he was at the end of his road. He said to Tang San: "Ah San, it's fine if I lose, but I've implicated Xiao Wu!"
Tang San's heart ached. Clearly, at this moment, he just needed to swing one sword to defeat Yu Tianheng, and he would win. He could turn from High Priest to the main position. But he couldn't swing that sword because—
He loved Xiao Wu. He loved her too much. Swinging that sword meant Xiao Wu's death. Soul extinction meant that even if he became a god, he couldn't revive Xiao Wu.
Without Xiao Wu, what meaning was there in him becoming a god?
Yu Tianheng said: "Actually... there's still one way to let Xiao Wu live, and that is to let her choose you again. Ah San, from now on, Xiao Wu is entrusted to you..."
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope rose in Tang San's eyes. If Xiao Wu could choose him at this moment, wouldn't that mean in this instant, he both eliminated his rival and gained Xiao Wu, plus turned the Asura God position official? It would be double happiness.
Thus, he looked at Xiao Wu with expectant eyes, hoping she would make the right choice.
"No, I don't want to choose Brother Ah San—" Xiao Wu said firmly: "Tianheng, I love you. Since I chose you back then, even in death, Xiao Wu wants to accompany you to the end." After saying that, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San tearfully and said guiltily: "Brother Ah San, you are very good to me, but sorry, you are Xiao Wu's brother. The one Xiao Wu loves is Brother Tianheng, so—"
"Let us die together and fulfill you becoming the Asura God."
At this moment, Tang San's heart felt like it had been pierced by ten thousand arrows. He was in pain, despairing, grieving, heartbroken. He wished he could end Yu Tianheng with one sword, but seeing Xiao Wu, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Thus, in Tang San's indecisiveness, the six minutes passed just like that.
"Asura God sixth test ends. Congratulations to the god chosen one for completing the assessment, gaining Asura God affinity 20, soul ring years increased by 10000 years."
A gentle light descended from the sky over the Slaughter City, enveloping Yu Tianheng and Xiao Wu. The light healed their injuries.
Yu Tianheng released his soul rings. The nine soul ring colors—yellow yellow purple purple black black black black red—ultimately became: eight black one red.
"We, we passed the assessment." Yu Tianheng said excitedly.
"Yes, Brother Tianheng, we passed the assessment." Xiao Wu excitedly hugged Yu Tianheng and offered her fragrant kiss.
"This... this is passing the assessment." At this moment, Tang San was regretful and despairing.
Yu Tianheng came to Tang San's side and said arrogantly: "Ya le ya le, Little Sanzi, I have to say, thanks to you for letting me pass the assessment. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Xiao Wu for you."
"Brother Ah San." Xiao Wu said gratefully: "You really are a good person. Thank you for letting me and Brother Tianheng pass the assessment. Don't worry, after we become gods, we won't forget you."
Tang San forced a wry smile with a dark face.
Now, he had no chance left to block Yu Tianheng from passing the divine test. What Tang San could hope for now was that Yu Tianheng would fail in the subsequent three tests.
However, Yu Tianheng completed the nine tests very smoothly.
The Asura God door was about to open. As the High Priest, Tang San had one mission: to sacrifice himself and open the door to godhood for Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng.
Tang San was very unwilling, but the High Priest's mission forced him to do it.
In the Asura God Hall, Tang San prostrated and knelt toward the soon-to-be gods Yu Tianheng and Xiao Wu. Deep in his heart, he was resentful, despairing, trembling, but on his face, it was sincere piety and reverence toward Yu Tianheng, the soon-to-be god chosen one!
Yu Tianheng walked to Tang San's front, took out a green hat and put it on Tang San's head, gently stroking Tang San's head, and said: "Little Sanzi, oh no, I can't call you that anymore. Ah San, you really are my good brother. You brought Xiao Wu to my side, let me meet my true love, and let me obtain the Asura God divine test. Now, you selflessly sacrifice your life, everything of yours to help me, Yu Tianheng, achieve the Asura God position. I really don't know how to thank you. After thinking, thinking—" Yu Tianheng patted Tang San's shoulder with his hand and said: "Taking good care of Xiao Wu for you is the best repayment. Go with peace of mind. For the rest of my life, I'll love Xiao Wu, including your share in loving her."
