Chapter 196: If Not for Tang San, I Would Have Become a God!
Chapter 196: If Not for Tang San, I Would Have Become a God!
Oscar lay on the bed.
His brow was furrowed, cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and even his lips were pursed until they turned white.
In the illusion, there was a dilapidated thatched hut.
The light was dim.
A heavy smell of medicine wafted over, making one’s nose sting.
An elderly man lay on the bed.
His hair was gray, his face wrinkled, and the skin all over his body hung loosely on his bones; his breath was weak, and he looked to be at death’s door.
Oscar’s footsteps moved forward uncontrollably. His gaze fell upon that face, and his heart suddenly constricted; it felt as if the blood in his entire body had turned cold.
"That is..."
That face looked exactly like his!
Only decades older.
"Is this me? I... how could I become like this?"
Oscar couldn’t believe it.
There was not a hint of his usual playfulness or sunshine in the old man’s eyes; only a thick, inseparable despair and hatred remained.
When the future Oscar saw him, a burst of piercing light suddenly erupted in his cloudy eyes.
He propped up his broken body to sit up and shrieked at him with all his might.
"It’s all because of Tang San! It’s all because of him!"
Oscar froze in place, his mind going blank.
Tang San?
"If it weren’t for him, my Foundation would not have been damaged, and I would not have absorbed that trashy third spirit ring! I would have long ago received the Food GodGod PositionLegacy and achieved Ascension to the God Realm with Rongrong!"
"He’s the one who harmed me! He’s the one who ruined my whole life!"
"Cough, cough, cough!!!"
While shrieking, the future Oscar coughed violently.
Blackish-red blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, a shocking sight.
Food GodGod Position?
Ascension to the God Realm?
Together with Rongrong?
These keywords exploded in Oscar’s mind, making his world spin.
His greatest dream in this life was to pursue Ning Rongrong, to be worthy of her, to be recognized by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and to stay with her forever.
So that people would no longer say a toad was trying to eat swan meat.
It turned out he originally had the chance to stand above the clouds, to live forever with Ning Rongrong, and to become an envied immortal couple?
A bone-chilling cold surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and even his fingertips felt cold.
He remembered when he absorbed the third spirit ring; Tang San’s disruption caused his absorption to fail and his Foundation to be damaged.
"Oscar, kill him!!!"
The future Oscar shrieked again, the hatred in his eyes almost solidifying.
"My life was ruined at his hands!"
"I could have stood above ten thousand people with Rongrong, but now, my spirit power is gone, and I am completely broken."
These words, like a wildfire, ignited all the negative emotions in Oscar’s heart.
Oscar’s fists were clenched tight, his knuckles turning white, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
A cold killing intent gradually crept into his eyes.
His face, which usually wore a smile, was now as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice.
He hadn’t expected that, in the end, the culprit who ruined his life was Tang San.
"Kill him... kill him... I want to kill him!"
Oscar muttered to himself.
...
Next, it’s our Fatty’s turn.
Ma Hongjun had spent his whole life struggling with his own Evil Fire.
What he feared most was that he would ultimately be unable to control this Evil Fire and end up burning himself.
Then let him have a good taste of this feeling of eternal damnation.
In Ma Hongjun’s room, he tossed and turned on the bed, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.
His undergarments clung tightly to his body, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
In the illusion, there was a boundless sea of fire.
Crimson flames surged like baring-clawed giant beasts, surrounding him.
The air was scorched into a distorted shape.
Behind him, the massive Evil Fire PhoenixSpirit unfolded.
Flames swirled, and its wings were full.
Every feather shimmered with a dazzling golden light; the cultivation of this body was more than twice as strong as his current one.
He could clearly perceive that his spirit power was rising rapidly.
The power in his Meridians surged incessantly; he was even about to Breakthrough to the Titled DouluoRealm.
A burst of wild joy welled up in his heart.
He was finally going to succeed, finally going to rid himself of the title "Wretched Scrub Chicken Phoenix."
He could finally become a respected top-tier Spirit Master like Lin Qingmo and the others.
He could finally make his MasterFlender proud of him.
But at that moment, the Evil Fire within his Spirit suddenly acted like a runaway horse, rampaging wildly through his body.
That Evil Fire grew stronger and more uncontrollable.
Following his Meridians, it burned through his entire body.
He could clearly sense his skin being scorched, his muscles melting, and his bones sizzling as they were roasted.
"Aaaaah!"
Ma Hongjun shrieked in pain.
That sensation of pain was terrifyingly real.
Every inch of flesh was being sliced by the fire; it hurt so much he almost lost consciousness.
"No! Don’t!"
Ma Hongjun shrieked with all his might.
He desperately circulated his spirit power, trying to suppress the crazy backlash of the Evil Fire within him.
But the spirit power that was usually obedient now acted like oil on a fire, making the Evil Fire burn even brighter.
The Evil Fire was almost burning his internal organs to ashes.
He remembered what his MasterFlender had told him.
The Evil Fire PhoenixSpirit was a top-tier Beast Spirit.
But the Evil Fire within it was also a blade hanging over his head.
A slight oversight would lead to eternal damnation.
He had always thought that as long as he worked hard to Cultivate and vent, he could control this Evil Fire.
He could rid himself of those mocking voices and stand upright before everyone.
But he hadn’t expected that, in the end, he would still die at the hands of this Evil Fire.
The scene in the illusion shifted.
He saw Flender standing outside the sea of fire, along with those Spirit Masters who usually mocked him.
Flender shook his head, his face full of disappointment and heartache, his voice carrying through the sea of fire.
"Hongjun, I told you long ago that the Evil Fire is hard to control, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now that you’ve ended up like this, you really are useless trash."
The people nearby roared with laughter, their mocking voices piercing his ears like needles.
"Look, that Evil FireFatty burned himself to death!"
"I told you, with a Spirit like his, he was bound to burn himself sooner or later!"
"He deserves it! A piece of trash who only knows how to cause trouble with his Evil Fire actually wanted to become a Titled Douluo? What a joke!"
"The stronger his strength, the stronger his Evil Fire will become. In the end, there is only a path to death."
The flames drew closer and closer, already burning before his eyes.
He could smell the pungent scent of his own charred flesh.
He wanted to flee, but found his feet were as if nailed in place.
He could only watch helplessly as the flames consumed him bit by bit.
From his limbs to his torso, and finally, even his head was submerged in the sea of fire.
At the last moment before his consciousness dissipated,
What flashed through his mind were the mockeries that had accompanied him all his life.
It was the disappointed look in his MasterFlender’s eyes.
It was that in this life, he ultimately failed to control the Evil Fire and ended up as a joke.
Boundless fear and despair submerged him like a tide.
Even the last bit of strength to struggle was burned away completely.
