I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 225: Tang San: Am I Shameless?

The wind blew quietly.

Qin Xiao didn't say anything; he just looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, unable to suppress a chuckle inside. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King still had unwavering faith in him.

"Why are you staring at me? Do you think staring will solve anything?" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King asked irritably. "Aren't you an embodiment of the world's will? Do you really have no way to return to the Douluo Continent?"

Qin Xiao shook his head. "If I had a way, would I be stringing you along? I think putting your hope in others is useless. Instead, you should rely on yourself."

"Rely on me?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was puzzled, thinking to himself, 'Can I really be relied upon?'

"Don't forget, you're just one step away from becoming a god," Qin Xiao said, raising his pinky to illustrate the small distance.

"Oh, so that's what you're thinking," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King realized, sighing. "But that one step is as vast as the sky. Transcending to godhood is no easy feat."

Qin Xiao shook his head. "I won't allow you to lack confidence. You're already here in this world. Is becoming a god really that far off? Get fired up; you could dominate this world. I don't believe you can't break through by devouring the strongest demons here."

Qin Xiao's words were filled with a tempting tone.

But his timing was perfect, hitting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's sweet spot.

"Do you really believe in me that much?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed by Qin Xiao's faith.

It was the first time he felt so recognized by someone.

Being trusted felt pretty good.

"It's not about whether I believe in you, but whether you can live up to it," Qin Xiao said, giving the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's shoulder a firm pat. "Let's not waste time. We need to move quickly."

"You've heard the situation; the human soul masters here are in danger. If they are wiped out by the demons, we will be isolated and vulnerable. Forget about becoming a god; survival will be questionable, especially with the world's suppression and rejection."

Qin Xiao's words weren't just to persuade the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. There was truth in them.

The world's suppression and rejection were real. In this world, a soul master's soul power was finite, and recovering it took dozens of times longer than on the Douluo Continent.

The recovery speed was slower than a snail's pace.

Even though the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, as a million-year soul beast, had vast reserves of soul power, it would eventually run out.

He began to panic, nodding repeatedly. "Yes, yes, let's go now!"

...

On a dark mountain, corpses lay everywhere.

Blood trickled down the crevices in the rocks, pooling together.

The blood was of various colors: some green, some blue, and some the bright red of human blood.

When these different colors mixed, they formed a strange hue.

The battle between the human soul masters and the demons was intensely fierce.

However, the fighting spirit of the human soul masters was only growing stronger.

Despite their heavy casualties, exceeding five thousand, none of them retreated. They stood firm, forming a wall of flesh and blood, protecting the injured and the auxiliary soul masters behind them.

But anyone could see that this was only temporary.

Below the mountain, the demon army surged like an ocean from all directions.

Their numbers were tens of times greater than the human soul masters.

Additionally.

High above, thunderous sounds echoed, accompanied by blinding flashes of light.

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Offering of the Spirit Hall, was fighting three high-level demons alone.

Everyone knew that if Golden Crocodile Douluo were defeated, the battle would take a dramatic turn for the worse.

If Golden Crocodile Douluo fell, the lives of all human soul masters would be reaped like wheat.

...

"Second Offering, I'm here to help you!"

Snake Spear Douluo, having just killed a major demon equivalent to a Titled Douluo with the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School soul masters, was rushing to assist Golden Crocodile Douluo.

He knew well that his power was only adequate against ordinary demons and far from sufficient against Golden Crocodile Douluo's opponents.

However.

Was there any choice left?

Among all the human soul masters present, he was the only one with the capability to enter the battle circle.

So.

Knowing the danger, Snake Spear Douluo charged into the fray.

Though his strength was lacking, his courage was commendable!

"Hmph, foolish human, do you not know your own limits?"

Seeing Snake Spear Douluo enter the battle, the demons sneered.

However.

Their sneers soon disappeared.

With the support of the Six Treasure Glazed Tile School's soul master, Snake Spear Douluo's combat strength rivaled that of a Level 95 Titled Douluo.

Though still not a match for the demons comparable to a Level 97 Titled Douluo, his involvement alleviated some of the pressure on Golden Crocodile Douluo.

After all.

To the powerful demons, Snake Spear Douluo was like a nuisance. They could squash him easily, but it would dirty their hands.

If they ignored him, he'd continue to be a thorn in their side.

Snake Spear Douluo's plan was successful. His involvement delayed the defeat, buying crucial time.

A sudden horn sounded in the distance.

Immediately, a dark cloud swept in from afar.

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced up in the brief moment he had while dodging an attack, and a chill ran down his spine.

It wasn't a cloud at all.

It was a swarm of flying demons, and behind them, he sensed another threat.

He vaguely saw the figure of a major demon among them.

"More demon reinforcements!"

"It seems we are destined to fall here."

Despair filled his heart.

Just when he thought Snake Spear Douluo's assistance had given them a glimmer of hope, that hope was shattered.

Not only for them but also for the soul masters fighting on the mountain. 

No matter how hard they fought, they couldn't hold out alone without any support.

...

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent.

Tang San, who was guarding the space passage, suddenly turned around. In his line of sight, a figure quickly leapt in.

He frowned slightly. "You're back."

Undoubtedly, it was the Spirit Emperor.

"Yes, I've made arrangements. Now, my abyss army can step onto the Douluo Continent."

"Good. I look forward to your arrival. I hope we can cooperate well..." Tang San smiled.

Hearing this, the Spirit Emperor's gaze sharpened.

Tang San's eyes never left the Spirit Emperor. Every subtle movement of the Spirit Emperor caught his attention.

"Is there something else?"

In reality, Tang San felt a bit impatient.

Were these abyssal creatures overestimating their importance?

At most, they were just small officials. How could they compare to him?

"I wanted to remind you, if you want to overturn the order of this world and rebuild it, don't do anything foolish."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know what I discovered?"

Tang San frowned and shook his head.

"Let me enlighten you."

The Spirit Emperor sneered, "When you opened the coordinates to the demon dimension, your enemies got hold of them. They were using the coordinates you provided to enter the demon dimension and enhance their cultivation through slaughter. 

If I hadn't discovered and stopped them in time, we would have faced many powerful enemies soon."

"What!"

Tang San's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock.

He never anticipated such a turn of events.

"If you don't believe me, you can infiltrate Spirit City yourself and see if there's a giant pit in the plaza in front of the Pope's Hall. I made it."

"The space transmission gate to the demon dimension was placed there..."

"Frankly, I even suspected you were in cahoots with the Douluo Continent, using us as part of a 'invite the wolf into the house' strategy."

After speaking, the Spirit Emperor calmly looked at Tang San.

Hearing this, Tang San's anger subsided significantly.

He couldn't blame the Spirit Emperor for being suspicious.

"I think you misunderstood."

Tang San shook his head slightly. "If I wanted to annex the abyss dimension, would I need to go through such trouble? I could come up with far better plans."

"There better be none..."

"But I warn you, don't be curious and open the demon dimension again, or you might release the humans I have trapped there."

After saying this, the Spirit Emperor turned and entered the space passage, returning to the abyss dimension.

"What's the meaning of this shit?!"

After the Spirit Emperor left, Tang San couldn't help but curse.

He, a dignified god, had been lectured by a mere divine official from another dimension?

What a disgrace.

...

"Woo woo woo..."

The sound of horns grew nearer.

On the blackened mountain, everyone's hearts tightened.

That sound signified the approach of death.

"Is there no rescue coming from the Douluo Continent?"

"It seems it's too late now..."

"Sigh, it's a shame to die in a foreign land, not on our own soil..."

"Yes, we came here to enhance our strength to protect our homeland, but now we'll die here first..."

Voices filled with regret arose among the soul masters. Despite the lack of fear of death, there was a deep sense of regret.

However.

In the next moment.

A streak of purple lightning cut through the sky, spanning dozens to hundreds of miles, seemingly splitting the sky in two.

What was that?
A divine punishment?

"Everyone, stay strong! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

Unlike the others, Golden Crocodile Douluo knew what this lightning meant.

On the entire Douluo Continent, only one person could move at such a speed: Qin Xiao.

Moreover, Qin Xiao was not only known for his speed. His combat prowess was such that even Golden Crocodile Douluo had to admire him, feeling both respect and awe.

In his mind, Qin Xiao was already a powerhouse comparable to Qian Daoliu.

His arrival could change the course of the battle.

"Boom!"

Another loud noise came from above.

This time, a large figure, burning with purple flames, fell to the ground like a meteor from the heavens.

Everyone looked over, their pupils contracting sharply before their faces lit up with joy.

"My God! Am I hallucinating? A powerful major demon was just killed in an instant?"

"Seems like I'm hallucinating too..."

...

"Qin Xiao, you don't need to worry about me. I won't die just yet. Your sudden arrival has already taken out a powerful major demon. With Snake Spear Douluo's help, I can manage the remaining two major demons.

You need to stop those demons approaching from afar. Our forces are already exhausted and can't face more demons. If they join in, it'll be fatal for us!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo anxiously sent a message to Qin Xiao.

Contrarily, Qin Xiao remained calm, shaking his head. "No worries, even if I don't act, those guys won't get through."

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned at this. "This is the demon dimension, not the Douluo Continent. No one knows you or fears your power here. Without showing your strength, you can't stop these demons..."

"How about this? You fight the two major demons while I go block those reinforcements, giving you a chance to retreat!"

"No need, someone else will handle those troubles..."

Qin Xiao answered firmly.

Someone else? Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't believe it.

But in the next moment, his eyes widened.

A massive shadow appeared in his view.

"What is that?"

"Just watch." Qin Xiao smiled slightly.

A colossal figure, over two hundred meters long, fell from the sky and crashed into the demon army.

Undoubtedly, it was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Roar!"

The sudden appearance of such a giant scared the flying demons.

But their ingrained madness told them this was the enemy, and they must kill it.

After the initial shock, the flying demons swarmed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King like ants.

But the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was exceptionally agile, moving through the air with the same dexterity as in the sea.

It looked like a giant fish swimming through the demon army.

Any demon it touched exploded into pieces instantly, showing how terrifyingly powerful the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was.

This infuriated the flying demons.

Being toyed with by a sea creature was humiliating.

Their morale broke.

There was no emotion, just pure technique.

More importantly, in just a short time, at least a thousand flying demons had fallen to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Half of them were devoured, making the Deep Sea Demon Whale King grow even stronger.
"Gulp."

Golden Crocodile Douluo swallowed hard, looking back at Qin Xiao. "He... he, if I'm not mistaken..."

Qin Xiao understood. "Yes, you're right. He is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the ruler of the sea."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was astonished. "How did you convince him?"

Qin Xiao blinked. "Take a guess."

"Could it be... love?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked tentatively.
