Chapter 309. Ah Yin: Whoever survives, I'll fight them! (Part 1)
At the core of the Asura Temple, the Asura God witnessed his beloved Tang San's divine trial.
The first trial was still within the Asura God's tolerance; after all, in this world, it was considered natural for a master to kill a servant—it was just the death of a Titan.
Even if you were as powerful as Qian Daoliu or Poseidon, a world-class being, as long as you were a servant, you had to give your life for your master at any time. They had to sacrifice their lives for those about to inherit divine positions, paving the way for them.
However, the content of the second trial made the Asura God unable to hold back.
Qian Xunji actually made his beloved Tang San castrate himself with a dagger, without any reward.
Even more crucially, the hateful Qian Xunji tampered with the dagger, ensuring that even after Tang San became a god, he couldn't recover and would be completely reduced to a eunuch!
"That's too much, Qian Xunji! Our precious son is just a child! How could you treat him like this?" Shura God questioned, his eyes red.
"How am I being too much?" Qian Xunji said, "Shura God, I've already given your precious son two easy tests. For the first test, Tang San only needs to kill Titan to pass. For the second test, Tang San only needs to be more determined and castrate himself to pass. In fact, Tang San doesn't even need to castrate himself; he just needs to be a little sharp-eyed to pass."
"A little sharp-eyed and he can pass?" Shura God was stunned.
Qian Xunji directly brought up the second part of the divine test. In a small corner, there was an inconspicuous little paragraph. Clicking on this little paragraph revealed the entire divine test content.
Shura God was dumbfounded as he looked at the hidden divine test content.
Was this bastard Qian Xunji, who felt unsatisfied if he didn't bully his precious son every day, really this generous? However, remembering that the content of the divine test couldn't be faked, the Asura God silently prayed that his precious treasure would discover this hidden switch quickly.
Meanwhile, Qian Xunji also saw the emotional value collection from Tang San and Tang Chen in the system and asked, "System, where did Tang San and the others get their hatred from? It's increasing so rapidly!"
[Respected host, this is Tang San's resentment towards the Asura God's divine test!] the system replied.
"I can collect Tang San's resentment towards the Asura God?" Qian Xunji asked.
[Because you replaced the Asura God in presiding over this divine test, the emotional value he generated was collected by you.]
Hearing the system's explanation, Qianxunji was overjoyed. He said, "System, you're so naughty! I only came to oversee Tang San's divine test to slow down his progress, so that after the Spirit Hall gods returned to their positions, Tang San would feel despair."
"You told me that torturing Tang San as the Asura God would also collect negative emotion points? Isn't that just to please me?"
"Originally, during Tang San's divine test, I didn't have much motivation for torturing him—it was all effort for no reward."
"But your little trick successfully seduced me."
"If my precious Tang San ever does something rash in the future, you'll have a share of the responsibility."
After saying this, Qianxunji quickly opened the hidden content of the second test and made a tiny, minor modification.
After a long silence, Tang Chen asked, "Little San, what do you plan to do?"
Tang San stared intently at the dagger, a resolute glint in his eyes:
"Great-Grandfather, in my heart, I will always love only Xiao Wu. No other woman deserves my first time."
"Without advancing to the Asura God realm, I won't have the power to rescue Xiao Wu from the Spirit Hall. Without strength, I can't do this. So what use is this thing to me? Besides, Tang San also shoulders the responsibility of saving his mother, saving his beloved, destroying the Spirit Hall, washing away the shame of the Clear Sky Sect, and even carrying the hope of the Douluo Continent. To save the Douluo Continent and prevent it from falling into the Spirit Hall's corrupt rule due to the irresponsibility of its people, for this sacred mission, I absolutely cannot give up advancing to the Asura God realm." As he finished speaking, Tang San became resolute and righteous.
Tang Chen couldn't help but feel a deep respect.
Having said that, Tang San lowered his head, brandished the dagger provided by the God of Asura, pulled down his pants, and said with bloodshot eyes, "If this is the price for advancing to the God of Asura, then I am willing to give it up."
A flash of red light, and the blood-red blade fell— "Ugh, ahh...
"Huff, huff, huff—" Tang San breathed a few times and said, "Great-Grandpa, I've completed the second trial of the Asura God."
"Good, as expected of a fine son of the Tang family, you have the resolve." Tang Chen patted Tang San's shoulder and said, "Little San, don't worry too much. Losing your manhood is only temporary. Once you become a god, you'll definitely be able to recover. Just like you temporarily lost your lover, but once your strength returns and you ascend to the Asura God, you can get everything you lost back."
Hearing this, Tang San nodded firmly and said, "Great-Grandpa, I know. As long as I become the Asura God, everything will be fine."
"Congratulations, Chosen One, on completing the second trial of the Asura God! Friendly reminder: this trial has hidden content, found in a small paragraph below the test text. Click to view it if you wish."
Tang San and Tang Chen were both drawn in by this divine voice. They both looked at the tiny, almost negligible text below the test content:
"Click here to read the full text."
Tang San and Tang Chen froze. A sense of unease flashed through Tang San's heart. He reached out and touched it, and the full text immediately appeared.
Below the original text was a line of text:
This is the true content of the trial, a test of the Chosen One's eyesight. In life, details determine success or failure, and the Asura God Trial is no exception.
The true second trial of the Asura God Trial can be completed simply by clicking this tip; no castration is required to advance and obtain the true rewards of the second trial.
The rewards for the second trial of the Asura God: Increase the age of all spirit rings by 100,000 years, increase the age of all spirit bones by 100,000 years, fuse with 35% of the Asura God's power, and restore a person's physical condition.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh—"
When Tang San saw this hidden content, he was furious! "Damn it, I already castrated myself before you told me there was a hidden tip! No need to castrate yourself, you can still complete the trial, and the rewards are so generous, are you kidding me, Tang San?!" "You thief, you've gone too far." Seeing his precious darling's collapse, the Asura God felt immense torment. That slash, though directed at his precious darling, also struck his own heart.
"Excessive? Was I excessive!" Qian Xunji said, "That helpful little tip was always right there. It's just that your precious darling was blind and didn't see it, choosing to self-castrate. How can you blame me for that?"
"Don't try to deny it, Qian Zei! I understand what you mean, Qian Zei! You deliberately made your precious darling castrate herself so she could see the hidden content and break her spirit?" Shura God said angrily. Qian Xunji laughed, looking at the bound human stick Shura God, and couldn't help but laugh, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"
Hearing this, Shura God fell silent.
He was now a prisoner of Qian Zei, forced to watch helplessly as his beloved darling was tortured by Qian Zei without any power to fight back.
At this moment, Tang San and Tang Chen's resentment surged. Even though they knew Shura God was their backer, they couldn't suppress the anger in Tang Chen's eyes. He used his authority as the Grand Elder to contact Shura God.
"Great and supreme Asura God, who wields the power of slaughter, why would you play such a cruel joke on us?" Tang Chen asked humbly.
After a long silence, a sigh echoed from the Asura God Temple.
"You've disappointed me greatly."
Tang San and Tang Chen were stunned by the Asura God's words.
"You made me castrate myself, and only after I did did you tell us that even without castration, we could still complete the mission and receive so many rewards, even breaking through the 100,000-year limit on all our spirit rings! We haven't even started blaming you, and you're already blaming us?!" The Asura God continued, "While I've been considerate of you, I can't be so direct, otherwise the other members of the God Realm Committee would have objections. So, for the second trial, I left a backdoor for you. If you had discovered this backdoor, you would have easily passed the second test. But you didn't, and impulsively castrated yourselves. What a pity—"
Hearing this, Tang San and Tang Chen couldn't hold back anymore. So, it really was their fault!
Tang San understood the Asura God's predicament. He knew the Asura God desperately wanted to pass on his divine position to him, but in the God Realm, it wasn't a place where the Asura God could dictate everything. For one thing, destruction and life were directly opposed to the Asura God.
That's why the Asura God created the Yin-Yang Divine Trial to give him a backdoor. Tang San, however, hadn't noticed this backdoor and had essentially castrated himself.
Looking at Tang San with heartache, Tang San asked the Asura God, "Then, Asura God, does this count as passing the test?" "Of course, you've completed the second divine trial," the Asura God said.
"Then, could the reward be given to me as a reward for passing the test?" Tang San asked eagerly.
Tang San's condition was no longer his concern. In his eyes, no other woman deserved his first time or any other time. Only Xiao Wu was worthy of possessing his virginity. But without the power, Xiao Wu couldn't be saved. Therefore, having this thing or not made no difference to Tang San; he could recover it after becoming a god.
The Asura God said, "I regret that you chose self-castration, which means you'll pass the level without any rewards. For the sake of fairness in the God Realm Committee, you'll have to make do for now."
Tang San: "..."
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar entered the secret realm.
The interior of this secret realm was exquisitely elegant, with black and white tiles covering the entire floor and walls painted pristine white. The walls were adorned with numerous reliefs, and winged chandeliers hung down at intervals along the corridors.
The depths of the corridors were incredibly dark and secluded.
"Hey, hello, are you here for the Asura God Black-Level God Exam?" A gentle voice reached the three of them.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun turned to look at the source of the voice. At the entrance of the corridor, a bald man dressed in black, wearing glasses, and with a burly build, stood outside and asked.
"Who are you?" Dai Mubai asked.
He looked at this man; he was so different from the old men in white robes who stood in the academy, talking eloquently.
