Chapter 252 Tang San is Captured.
After Tang San comforted him, Yu Xiaogang became increasingly suspicious. Tang San gradually noticed the abnormality: "Teacher, has something happened?"
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment, then sighed and explained in detail the problems with his theories and the Douluo Federation's issues regarding educational development. Tang San was speechless after listening to this. He couldn't believe that his teacher's theories had so many errors, and that he had previously believed them wholeheartedly.
However, considering that Yu Xiaogang was the only son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch and also the National Preceptor of the Heaven Dou Empire, he figured Yu Xiaogang had excellent connections and could offer good advice. Besides, it was his teacher who had suggested Tang San go to Seagod Island for training.
"Teacher, I plan to train the six Shrek Seven Devils to become gods as soon as possible. Do you have any good ideas?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "Xiao San, if you want to train the six Shrek Seven Devils to become gods, it's probably a bit late now. But they've all developed quite well over the years, and their soul power has increased a lot. However, reaching level 99 is very difficult unless you can provide them with an environment similar to the Sea God's Light for cultivation, or provide them with high-age soul bones and other rare treasures."
"Otherwise, at their cultivation speed, they probably won't reach level 99 in their lifetime."
"As for your suggestion, my suggestion is that you see if you can learn from the Douluo Federation. The Douluo Federation has many high-level soul masters, and even quite a few titled Douluo above level 95."
"By the way, I recently discovered two geniuses, a brother and sister from the Elemental Academy, one named Wang Lanfang and the other Wang Mingxu. They're only 20 years old now, but they've already reached the Soul Saint level."
"If we can win over such geniuses, whether it's nurturing them to godhood or letting them develop in the Douluo Continent, it would be an excellent choice."
Hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up. He could now train the six members of Shrek Academy, and also try to recruit talent from the Douluo Federation. Furthermore, once he mastered the knowledge of soul core cultivation, coupled with a large amount of rare and precious resources, training the others would be very easy.
In the following time, Tang San visited the other six members of Shrek Academy one by one, leaving divine power in each of them to increase their cultivation speed, while promising to provide them with other assistance.
The rest of the Shrek Academy members readily agreed, and it seemed that success was within reach for them.
After communicating with everyone, Tang San went to Phoenix City alone. His purpose in coming to Phoenix City was to visit the finance department and the research and development department. After all, resources and knowledge were indispensable for cultivating his own people, and the Douluo Federation had plenty of them; he could borrow them first.
Wang Xiaofei, whose divine soul had merged with Douluo Star, sensed Tang San's every move, especially when Tang San entered Phoenix City. Wang Xiaofei couldn't help but think to himself: "This Tang San is really something. No matter which life he's in, he never forgets to do some petty theft."
In his previous life, Tang San was forced to jump off a cliff and enter the Ghost's Sorrow realm for stealing a sect's secret manual, resulting in his reincarnation on Douluo Continent.
And now, Tang San has become a god, and an enforcer of the God Realm at that, yet he still engages in petty theft—isn't that beneath him?
After entering Phoenix City, Tang San didn't rush. He carefully sensed the city with his divine soul but didn't seem to detect any trace of Wang Xiaofei.
However, when Tang San saw the enormous fire phoenix statue in the center of Phoenix City, he seemed somewhat disdainful: "Wang Xiaofei, a mere second-level god, dares to be so ostentatious, acting more like a big shot than several great god-kings. Let's see how he regrets it later."
After confirming the location he needed to investigate, Tang San went directly to the research and development department, seemingly looking for a method to condense a soul core.
However, the research and development department seemed to contain far more information than Tang San had imagined. There were methods for condensing soul cores, methods for condensing soul rings, and various other theoretical discoveries—a wealth of knowledge far exceeding anything Tang San had ever seen before.
Upon seeing this, Tang San immediately grabbed a large pile of documents. When he arrived at the treasure vault's entrance, before he could even enter, a figure appeared in the void, blocking his way—it was Wang Xiaofei.
Upon seeing Tang San, Wang Xiaofei couldn't help but smile and say, "Tang San, I didn't expect you to still be doing this kind of thing on Douluo Star."
Tang San, however, remained unfazed: "I am the God of Law Enforcement from the God Realm. I suspect your Douluo Federation is colluding with soul beasts, so I came to investigate."
Wang Xiaofei, with a half-smile, said, "That's quite interesting. You're investigating soul beasts, and you've actually stumbled upon my Douluo Federation's treasury. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
"The things in your treasury are very unusual. I suspect many of them come from the soul beast race."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to think that way, Tang San. What were you doing at my Douluo Federation's R&D department earlier? Were you also looking for clues about the Douluo Federation colluding with soul beasts?"
"No, that's not it. Everything your R&D department develops should be made public to benefit the people of Douluo Star."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaodun was immediately amused: "Tang San, I remember you used quite a few things before, including a special movement technique, a technique that turns eyes purple, and a technique that turns hands white. The people of Douluo Star desperately need these things. Could you perhaps make them public?"
"Also, I remember the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and Ring Explosion are very suitable for Soul Masters. Could you take the initiative to make them all public?"
"That would be a benefit to the entire Soul Master world."
Tang San's expression changed completely: "My techniques are all closely guarded secrets of the Tang Sect. To learn them all, you must join the Tang Sect. As for the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and Ring Explosion, only Clear Sky Sect disciples can learn them."
"That's interesting. You want the knowledge of the Douluo Federation to benefit the people, but you don't want to reveal any of your own. Isn't that a bit much?"
Tang San continued, "As an enforcer of the God Realm, I have the right and the obligation to investigate these things."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaofei's smiling face instantly froze. "Since you want to say that, then you, as an enforcer of the God Realm, should be judged by the Great God Kings to see if you are truly qualified?" Tang San seemed determined, believing Wang Xiaofei wouldn't make a move, and still spoke arrogantly, "I am a dignified enforcer of the God Realm; whether I am qualified or not is entirely none of your business."
"Tang San, since that's the case, then you don't need to go back."
After saying this, Wang Xiaofei directly grabbed Tang San with a large hand, seemingly possessing boundless power.
Tang San was not to be outdone: "Wang Xiaofei, you are just a native soul master from Douluo Star, you haven't even seen the world of the God Realm, how could you understand the true power of a god?"
Tang San's soul power surged, especially his killing intent, which seemed to permeate the entire space. This killing intent could even affect a person's mind! As expected of the Asura God, even with insufficient soul power level, his strength was still formidable.
Wang Xiaofei had no interest in Tang San's current strength. Phoenix flames suddenly erupted from his body, burning everything around him to ashes. Even the murderous aura emanating from Tang San seemed to be slowly burned away.
As a large hand grabbed at Tang San, Tang San seemed to feel immense pressure. He took out a Soul-Breaking Spear and swiftly thrust it at Wang Xiaofei.
The two divine powers collided in the sky. Wang Xiaofei's body trembled slightly, while Tang San was forced back several steps.
Seeing that his strength seemed to be inferior, Tang San directly used a self-created Soul-Breaking Spear Technique, clearly honed during his years of cultivation in the God Realm.
"Wang Xiaofei, you've always stayed on Douluo Star. How could you know the vastness of the world? How could you know how powerful the techniques created by the gods in the God Realm truly are?"
"Tang San, I don't care what techniques you have, or what your background is. Now you've violated the laws of the Douluo Federation, and you must accept the punishment of the law."
"I am a god. Who dares to punish me?"
Wang Xiaofei didn't answer Tang San's words but instead accelerated his attack.
As Tang San said, in the past 20 years, besides his increased soul power, his combat skills had also improved significantly, especially after mastering many new techniques, which, when combined with his divine artifact, became even more formidable.
Wang Xiaofei ignored Tang San's current attitude, his attacks becoming even more ferocious.
Tang San desperately defended himself, unable to hold back, and said, "Wang Xiaofei, I am an enforcer of the God Realm! How dare you attack me? Do you intend to oppose the entire God Realm?"
"Tang San, you've gone too far. No matter what kind of enforcer you are, or what high-ranking official you are, once you come here, you must abide by the laws of my Douluo Federation."
"I remember I already warned you, but I can't believe you still dare to disregard the laws of the Douluo Federation. You're simply courting death."
After saying this, a soul ring flashed on Wang Xiaofei's body, and his entire right hand turned golden, directly grabbing at his opponent.
Wang Xiaofei's right hand, like a pillar of bronze and iron, radiated immense power as he grabbed at Tang San behind him. Even with his Soul-Breaking Spear, Tang San struggled to resist, seemingly finding his strength insufficient. After all, this was Douluo Star, where all gods descended from the God Realm were subject to restrictions.
An invisible suppressive force emanated from the space, making it difficult for even a God King like Tang San to easily escape.
The battle between Wang Xiaofei and Tang San lasted only a few minutes before Tang San collapsed.
Wang Xiaofei couldn't help but shake his head. How could someone like Tang San be fit to be a enforcer of the God Realm?
Without further hindrance, Wang Xiaofei subdued Tang San and sealed his soul power.
Given the current situation, Tang San might end up in prison for a while.
As for the consequences? He was currently the strongest on Douluo Star; as long as he achieved his goal, that was enough.
Other matters could wait for the God Realm officials to intervene.
This time, Tang San was the only god to be captured. He wondered if the former Asura God would be furious enough to vomit blood if he knew.
