Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The Black Tortoise Shield is primarily water-attribute, and the Sea God is the supreme deity of water. By nature, they are compatible.

The Black Tortoise Shield slowly levitated in front of Tang San. Merely guiding this shield with divine consciousness, even with Tang San's cultivation base, seemed somewhat difficult.

With his right hand open, he gently pressed against the center of the Black Tortoise Shield, and a soft blue-gold halo began to flow out from Tang San's fingertips. On Tang San's forehead, the pattern of the Sea God's Trident once again emerged.

As this pattern appeared, from the direction of the Endless Blue Ocean, a large amount of power of faith suddenly swarmed over, replenishing Tang San's expended divine consciousness.

At first, the Black Tortoise Shield showed no response, but as Tang San's divine power increased, the shield began to emit a faint humming sound. It was as if it were confirming something.

Tang San was not in a hurry at all, continuously and constantly injecting his Power of Divine Consciousness. On the pitch-black surface of the Black Tortoise Shield, faint blue ripples began to emerge.

To make such a divine tool originating from the plane's source recognize him was not an easy task. Tang San was essentially deceiving the Black Tortoise Shield with his godhood, making it feel as if it has evolved to the Divine Realm, so that it could be refined by Tang San.

Gradually, more and more blue patterns started to appear on the surface of the Black Tortoise Shield. The strange halos kept flickering.

The smile at the corner of Tang San's mouth also began to grow richer.

This Black Tortoise Shield had never been truly used before, so it was very pure. Under the stimulation of his divine position, it gradually began to feel nourished.

This thing couldn't be nourished by mere life force. Only under the nurturing of godhood could it exert its true might.

After more than an hour, the surface of the Black Tortoise Shield had almost completely turned azure blue. This was a sign that it preliminarily accepted Tang San, recognizing that he could use divine power to temper it.

If it were Tang San from the past who was at the God King level, refining such a divine tool wouldn't require much effort. But now he was not a true god and had yet to recover his strength. So it became more troublesome.

The blue light flickered, and the Black Tortoise Shield slowly sunk into Tang San's chest and disappeared. The initial refinement was successful, allowing Tang San to barely utilize the basic defensive power of the Black Tortoise Shield, but truly unleashing its might was still not possible. He would have to wait until he achieved the Emperor state.

Having refined these two divine artifacts, Tang San stopped and turned his attention to Pretty Girl.

The fusion of the Asura God's Sword and the Shadow Demon Sword was going very smoothly. It must be said that merely from the standpoint of luck, despite Tang San's substantial gains at the auction, the actual boost to his combat strength was not as significant as what Pretty Girl gained with the Shadow Demon Sword.

At this moment, the Shadow Demon Sword had gradually turned dark red, with much of the Intention of Asura Divine Sword that had enveloped it now merging into it. Although smaller in size, it had become more substantial, and the elusive sword beam indeed gave off occasional astounding sensations.

If the body of Asura God's Sword could be drawn to this plane faster, it would certainly be a great thing!

Besides the Light Dragon Spear and the Black Tortoise Shield, the other auction items did not need immediate attention. The Heart of Nature was extremely important, but until he achieved Emperor status, Tang San would not touch it lightly. Its significance was too great, even determining whether he could return to the God King realm.

Tang San used his divine consciousness to sense for a moment and quickly found Bingji, who was in closed-door cultivation. He quietly teleported to Bingji's side and left the Ice Sealed Throne with him, believing that when his eldest senior brother emerged from meditation, there would definitely be a huge surprise waiting for him.

Pretty Girl spent a full three days to completely combine the Asura God's Sword with the Shadow Demon Sword, finally giving her a tangible Longsword for use.

This Shadow Demon Sword, which contained the projection of the Asura God's Sword, had far surpassed the existence of an ordinary divine tool. Even Tang San was reluctant to encounter its edge directly. Of course, the Asura God's Sword would not harm Tang San either.

The sound of the waves was so peaceful and pleasant. Tang San sat by the seaside, silently watching the cerulean Endless Blue Ocean. These rare days of tranquility allowed his whole being to enter a state of emptiness.

For him, after arriving in this plane, such moments of time were truly precious.

The important test he was about to face was next. He had to win the martial competition for marriage without the Emperors discovering his real identity, and thus marry Pretty Girl. That would also rightly make him an Emperor.

Once he became an Emperor, then these Emperors of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan wouldn't be able to oppress him any longer.

"What are you thinking about?" A pleasant voice sounded in his ear, and in the next instant, his neck was encircled by a pair of soft arms.

Tang San took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace, "Just watching the sea every day, with you by my side, that feeling is already very beautiful to me."

Pretty Girl sighed softly, "Yes! But don't put too much pressure on yourself. If we really fail this time, let's just leave. We'll hide overseas where they can't find us. As long as you're safe, giving up all these now doesn't matter to me."

Tang San smiled, "That's not going to work, I want to be with you forever and ever. I'm very greedy; I don't just want this lifetime, but lifetime after lifetime. Therefore, we must return to the God King level, to our own world. I have a very grand plan to achieve in the future. If it's successful, as long as the universe exists, we will always be together."

Pretty Girl nestled in his arms, "Great matters are a man's concerns; do whatever you want."

Tang San smiled, "Pretty Sis, I'm a bit unaccustomed to your gentleness, what should I do?"

"Then should I beat you up?"

"..."

"We have to go back, we have been out for three days. The hype of the auction should have died down by now. Next, it's the martial competition for marriage. As the lead-in to the competition, not being there is definitely not an option," Tang San said somewhat helplessly.

If possible, he would love nothing more than to continue being idle on this beach with Pretty Girl, watching the sea, and loving each other. What could be more wonderful than that?

"Alright, let's go back. This time, I want to show them what I'm made of. If I win the championship, I'll just say no one is worthy of me, and I won't marry anyone!" Pretty Girl said confidently, the fusion of Asura God's Sword and Shadow Demon Sword boosting her confidence significantly.

Tang San smiled, "But still, be careful. You enter in the rematch, and everyone who gets into the rematch will be top-tier fighters. To vie for the throne, every clan will definitely bring out their absolute best."

Pretty Girl nodded, "What I'm most worried about is you. You cannot use your full strength and you have to hide your identity, which is the most troublesome part."

Tang San gave a mysterious smile, "I'm also quite confident now. When have I ever said something and failed to do it?"

Pretty Girl frowned, "But no matter how I think about it, this seems like an impossible mission for you! Can't you tell me? I won't give us away."

Tang San smiled and shook his head, "No, I still have to keep it a secret. Even the slightest hint could lead to trouble. You know who I am, and when we actually face off, there would surely be flaws exposed."

Pretty Girl looked at him with a puzzled face, "You're not planning on deliberately opposing me to throw them off, are you?"

Tang San hurriedly shook his head, "No, no. How could I deliberately oppose you? Ahem, it's you who are supposed to oppose me. It's really not on purpose!"
