Just as Tang San was unsure of his choice, the previously dim trident mark on his forehead began to glow faintly.
Then, a calm voice slowly resonated from the depths of his mind.
"Tang San, cultivating by devouring soul beasts isn't evil. What's evil is devouring good soul beasts instead of bad ones."
"The Human-Faced Demon Spider is known as an evil killer. It increases its cultivation by devouring other lives. As a soul master, killing or devouring it wasn't wrong. For such an evil soul beast that bullies the weak and devours life, it's a just punishment." "
Killing the Human-Faced Demon Spider wasn't wrong in itself; your thinking was flawed. As long as you don't devour benevolent soul beasts to cultivate, then what you did was right."
"Therefore, don't be bound by choices. Do what you believe is right, even if it's wrong in the eyes of others. But if you believe it's right, then it is right."
As the voice deep in his mind slowly disappeared, the confused Tang San suddenly understood. A purple light flashed in his eyes, and he murmured, "So that's it. Devouring evil soul beasts to cultivate is itself doing a good deed. Killing evil soul beasts for the sake of good soul beasts, everything I, Tang San, have done can be called justice!"
After thinking along these lines, Tang San instantly knew what he should do. He would take advantage of this month-long gap to hunt down and devour evil soul beasts. Only in this way could he improve his soul power while also doing righteous things!
"I understand, I understand!" Tang San was overjoyed, but glancing at the sky, he hid his excitement in his heart. He had already made his plans. Tomorrow, he would explain the situation to Grandmaster and then immediately leave Shrek Academy. He would use this month to hunt down as many evil soul beasts as possible to improve his soul power level.
"Cheng Xiao, let's try again after I break through to level 50 in soul power."
...
Meanwhile, at the Tian Dou City Grand Hotel.
"Achoo!" Cheng Xiao, having finished his meal, sneezed and subconsciously rubbed his nose.
Just then, a green figure suddenly appeared at the hotel entrance. Without hesitation, Dugu Bo quickly went upstairs and called Cheng Xiao, who was still eating.
Leaving the private room, Cheng Xiao and Dugu Bo went to a quiet place.
"Old Poison Master, what's wrong?" Cheng Xiao frowned slightly. Dugu Bo usually wouldn't come to him for ordinary matters; if he did, it was definitely something important.
Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat grave as he slowly said, "Cheng Xiao, there's something I need to tell you. Based on my recent observations, it seems some of the cardinals from the major cities of the Spirit Hall have been transferred away. It looks like they're planning something big."
"I suspect Tang San's identity as Tang Hao's son has been exposed. The Spirit Hall and Tang Hao have an irreconcilable hatred, and I estimate that that crazy woman, Bibi Dong, might take advantage of this."
As a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo's observation of the situation was very insightful. Through some of the Spirit Hall's personnel movements, he had already sensed the suspicious activity.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao nodded slightly. Given the Spirit Hall's style, it was indeed time for them to take action. However, what puzzled him was that whether the Spirit Hall acted or not seemed to have little to do with him. With his current status, he should be on the Spirit Hall's side. Moreover, Dugu Bo had already reconciled with Yue Guan; shouldn't Dugu Bo have gone to such lengths to tell him this?
"You're right." As if seeing through Cheng Xiao's thoughts, Dugu Bo sighed softly and said, "A few days ago, I met with Yue Guan in private. According to him, the Pope has assigned a secret mission, saying that some problems have occurred in the Soul Beast Forest in the north, and he has arranged for the Holy Dragon Sect to investigate."
"The far north is a place that ordinary people can't go to at all. Tell me, what is there to investigate there?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao was startled. Suddenly, he thought of the murderers in the far north. Could it be that because of him, Bibi Dong has set her sights on the murderers?
But that doesn't make sense. With the Snow Empress's current cultivation level, plus the far north being her home ground, even if Qian Daoliu went there, he wouldn't fare well. Moreover, the Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King are not ordinary people. Unless the Spirit Hall mobilizes all its forces, it will be absolutely difficult to take down these three ferocious beasts.
But then he thought again, something didn't seem quite right. The Spirit Hall had no reason to go to such lengths to hunt down the three-headed beast. Or perhaps something extraordinary had truly appeared in the far north?
Just as Cheng Xiao was pondering this, an image of an old man with flowing hair, an aged face, and eyes filled with madness appeared in his mind.
"King of the Snowmen, King of the Frost!" Subconsciously reading these eight words, Cheng Xiao immediately realized that since he had been able to travel to the Douluo Continent and awaken the Shadow King's spirit, could other kings also have come to this world?
But these kings should have been killed by Cheng Xiaoyu. Could they also be parallel universe counterparts? Did they also come to this world because of the Shadow King?
Cheng Xiao knew that the kings' abilities varied, and their powers were even more mysterious and unpredictable. Traveling was not difficult for them; with the ability of teleportation portals, they could basically travel to any world without obstacles.
Even traversing dimensions might be incredibly easy for them, let alone just worlds. Being drawn here by the power of the Shadow King is understandable.
"You brat, what are you saying? What Snowman King, Frost King?" Dugu Bo was bewildered. He couldn't understand any of the terms Cheng Xiao used.
And what was a Snowman King? The king of ice-attribute soul beasts in the far north?
Dugu Bo was completely confused. Even with his considerable experience, this was the first time he'd heard of such terms as Snowman King and Frost King.
After all, in the Douluo Continent, powerful soul masters usually had titles like Douluo, and titles like "King" were indeed rare, or even nonexistent.
"Old Poison, if I told you that with your current strength, you might not even be able to protect yourself in the future, would you believe me?" Cheng Xiao said quietly.
"...What nonsense are you spouting, child?" Dugu Bo's lips twitched, and he said with considerable confidence, "I am the Poison Douluo who dominates the world, a level 93 Title Douluo. Who can easily kill me?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao waved his hand, then his figure flashed, transforming into a black shadow and flying towards the Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City. At the same time, he left behind a sentence.
"Old Poison, I need to focus on my cultivation for the next period of time. Come and call me when the competition starts."
Hearing Cheng Xiao's words, Dugu Bo was stunned. For some reason, he had a bad feeling. Could it be? This brat is telling the truth?
But if it's true, what level of powerhouse would be able to easily kill a Title Douluo? A legendary god?
