Chapter 71 — Tang San: I'm Gonna Go Wild!
Zhao Wuji pushed himself up from the ground, wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, and flexed his numbed arms. A surge of excitement burned in his eyes.
"Incredible… truly incredible! I'm starting to wonder if this monkey awakened some kind of powerful weapon martial soul. How is it a beast martial soul?"
Su Yan looked helpless. Originally, the little monkey would've held back its power—but after receiving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul's buffs for the first time, it completely misjudged its strength.
Su Yan was about to explain, but Tang San didn't intend to give anyone a chance to talk—nor would he allow the little monkey another opportunity to act.
"Little Monkey, get out of the way!"
Tang San shouted angrily.
Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Fourth Rule:
Never try to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger; otherwise, you might really turn into a pig!
Right now, Tang San finally understood the saying.
His constant low profile… his constant silence… all of that had allowed Su Yan's brilliance to grow unchecked, overshadowing him until he seemed plain and forgettable.
And that was why Xiao Wu had started to ignore him!
He could not allow Su Yan to steal the spotlight any longer.
'Su Yan—today, I will prove myself. I will show I'm no worse than you. I'll make Xiao Wu see me. I will stand tall again!'
Tang San's hands turned white, faint currents circulating between his ten fingers. Purple light flickered in his eyes.
Zhao Wuji had originally planned to enjoy a strength-on-strength brawl with the little monkey—but suddenly realized…
He had become prey. This kid even dared to steal him away from someone else's fight!?
"Teacher Zhao—your opponent is me!"
In the next moment—
Tang San's drooping hands lifted at his sides with graceful precision.
Chi, chi, chi…!!
Ten cold flashes shot from his fingers, each aimed at one of Zhao Wuji's vital points:
- Eyes
- Shoulders
- Throat
- Heart
- Knees
- Lower region
- Lower abdomen
Zhao Wuji did not dare to be careless. He immediately activated Motionless Bright King Body, crossing one hand over his eyes and the other over his little brother.
Yes—over that.
He really was terrified.
These little monsters this year… each one outdid the last!
Dai Mubai was completely stunned.
What the hell?
Su Yan was already monstrous enough.
But this guy— This guy was even more bizarre! Where the hell did he pull out all these strange weapons from!?
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing watched attentively.
Hidden weapons. These were the hidden weapons Su Yan mentioned.
At the side, Su Yan watched the chaos unfold, shouting earnestly:
"Tang San! Don't push yourself too hard!"
That one sentence— "Don't push yourself"— completely enraged Tang San and ignited the fire in his heart to a climax.
Boom boom boom!!!
Zhao Wuji's soul skill blocked the first volley of hidden weapons. Tang San spun on his heel and unleashed another wave—this time fully unleashed—hundreds of cold flashes firing wildly.
He had become a hidden-weapon machine gun.
Puff puff puff puff puff puff!
His storm-like barrage forced Su Yan and the others to retreat for safety. Even the little monkey had to start spinning its staff, blocking random projectiles like a blooming flower of steel.
Passion was burning.
Hidden weapons filled the air— Willow-blade knives, flying locust stones, sleeve darts, bone-piercing nails—
a rainstorm of deadly hidden weapons.
Zhao Wuji looked like a giant, helpless bear being mowed down by a Gatling gun.
He was furious beyond belief.
Su Yan, who loved chaos more than anything, was practically trembling with excitement.
"Holy Cow—!! It's burning! IT'S BURNING!
Tang San, you're on FIRE!"
Zhao Wuji had already been annoyed to death. Tang San moved like a wild rat—hit and run, darting everywhere.
He couldn't catch him. He couldn't hit him.
Now hearing Su Yan's cheer, Zhao Wuji's rage exploded.
He instantly activated his third soul skill:
"Gravity Increase!"
A crushing force erupted. Tang San's movements slowed drastically.
Then, Zhao Wuji used his fourth soul skill:
"Position Trace!"
Tang San's fate was sealed.
Su Yan pretended to panic, shouting:
"No more! Teacher Zhao."
With two soul skills restricting Tang San, Zhao Wuji grabbed him firmly—so he couldn't slip away again with that strange footwork—and drove his fist into him twice, hard.
Bang! Bang!
Tang San's nose spurted blood.
'You damn bastard!'
'I'll teach you to show off, I'll teach you to show off, I'll teach you to show off.'
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
Zhao Wuji's fists—each as big as a sandbag—smashed into Tang San's face again and again, venting all the frustration he'd bottled up earlier.
Don't want it? Too bad—take it anyway!
Even without using his full strength, Tang San's small physique couldn't endure Zhao Wuji's blows. This whole round of punches pounded Tang San until his head looked like a swollen pig's.
Su Yan watched the scene and was nearly laughing himself numb.
Zhao Wuji, oh Zhao Wuji… You're the real hero today.
"Pfft—!"
Even after being beaten until he spat blood, Tang San still refused to yield.
"Second Soul Skill—Parasite!"
Tang San launched another full-force attack, using the last of his soul power.
This time, he finally found a gap and drove a needle into Zhao Wuji's body, then swung his Clear Sky Hammer down, smashing it directly into Zhao Wuji's face.
Zhao Wuji staggered back, nose bleeding from the hammer strike, body tingling from the toxin numbing his limbs.
At that exact moment—
One stick of incense burned to its end.
Su Yan looked at the mutually battered state of both sides and felt immensely satisfied.
Of course—
He did have one complaint: He hadn't seen Tang San for a single day, and the kid suddenly got a Dragonbeard Needle!?
What nonsense is this!?
He had to hurry to Heaven Dou City that afternoon to find Dugu Yan and still come back before Tang San went to get his third soul ring.
Otherwise—
If Su Yan didn't personally watch this dog, he would definitely obtain the Eight Spider Lances.
Su Yan put on an exaggerated, shocked expression.
"Tang… Tang San, you won… You're incredible!"
Hearing Su Yan's praise, Tang San turned toward Xiao Wu— but his vision blurred, swaying as if he were about to faint.
'I won… Xiao Wu, did you see? I'm not worse than Su Yan. I'm absolutely not worse than him. Xiao Wu, you must see me… You HAVE to see me…!'
Dai Mubai was completely dumbstruck.
He originally thought Su Yan was the most dangerous person to provoke.
But now?
Su Yan was actually not bad. Compared to Tang San, Su Yan was practically a decent human being!
And Tang San?
This monster was utterly insane. He'd thrown out so many weird hidden weapons— all of them poisonous. Absolutely hellish.
Compared to him, Su Yan was a saint!
"Oscar—give him a sausage, quick!"
Ning Rongrong and the others finally, truly believed.
Tang San was not simple. He really was exactly as Su Yan described: Someone with the potential to destroy the Spirit Hall.
Even though Zhao Wuji wasn't serious, he was still a high-ranked soul saint. For Tang San to force him into that condition… Only a transmigrator could achieve it.
And Tang San's hidden weapons— They were absolutely invincible among those of the same level.
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Bibi Dong, you're so screwed!]
[Bibi Dong: ???]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess:
I investigated Tang San before and thought he wasn't anything special. But now that I looked again— This guy is CRAZY strong!
I heard his hidden weapon attacks were like a torrential downpour!]
[Cat in the Shadows: @Spring Wind Revives Again I'm 100% certain— Tang San is NOT Tang Hao's son.]
[Spring Wind Revives Again: ???]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Gossip! Gossip!
Spill it! We want a bite!]
[I Am an Orphan: Looks like you've uncovered something massive?]
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace — The Prince's Mansion
Qian Renxue lifted her teacup and took a slow sip.
She was now completely certain:
Seven Treasures Little Princess Ning Rongrong, Cat in the Shadows, Carrot Lover Xiao Wu, and Su Yan— These four were all together with Tang San, and something major had happened in Suotuo City.
Qian Renxue's heart was burning with anxiety.
Information…
Information…
Hurry up and send me the information!!
[Bibi Dong: What exactly did you discover?
And what do you mean—Tang San's hidden weapons are strong?]
[Spring Wind Revives Again: Kitty, you said Tang San definitely isn't Tang Hao's son?]
[Cat in the Shadows: I don't know how to explain it simply. Just trust me— It's exactly as Su Yan said. There's no way he's Tang Hao's child.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Tang San's hidden weapons are just insanely strong!]
[Bibi Dong: Details. I want details.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: How would I know? This was information that someone I sent gathered. I didn't see it with my own eyes!]
[Liu Erlong: Old hag, I suddenly realized something. You're the Pope of Spirit Hall…
And yet your intel is trash. Worse than an orphan, worse than a princess. You're blind, and your intelligence network is blind too!]
[Group Member No.9: Agreed. Everyone else has secrets— but our dear Pope only has two things: bad eyes and bad intel.]
[Carrot Lover: Bad woman isn't just blind— even the Spirit Hall's intel is blind! Hahaha!]
[I Am an Orphan: Bibi Dong, this is your limit. Why are you even the Pope? Go home and sell sweet potatoes, you useless woman!]
