Chapter 92: Sacrifice Strategy? A Purple Fifth Soul Ring?
[At the time, during the battle, Xiao Wu was struck by the Royal Fighting Team's defense-type soul masters Shi Mo and Shi Mo's combined technique, "Turtle Shell Whirling Dance."]
[Unable to escape the attack's range, she was seriously injured.]
[That immediately triggered Tang San's famous passive skill: "Xiao Wu gets hurt, the whole field ascends!"]
[Tang San's logic was simple: once Xiao Wu is injured, the opponent has a way to death!]
[So he stopped holding back, used every method at his disposal, even developed killing intent, and beat the Royal Fighting Team members into a miserable state.]
[When I first watched this part of the story, I thought Tang San was loyal and righteous, raging for the sake of beauty. It felt passionate and heroic.]
[But this kind of scene happens way too many times!]
[Later on, similar situations appear again and again; it practically becomes Tang San's fixed "power-up switch."]
[And I just have to complain about it.]
[If you love her that much, and you possess such powerful trump cards (Eight Spider Lances, hidden weapons, twin martial souls),]
[and you clearly know your team's average strength is far below the opponent's, why not go all out from the very beginning?]
[Why wait until Xiao Wu is coughing blood and seriously injured before you start raging and exploding in power?]
[What kind of protection is that?]
[That's simply incompetence!]
[Real protection should eliminate danger in its cradle, not take revenge after your loved one is hurt!]
[This "sacrifice-flow" fighting style appears repeatedly in Tang San's story.]
[And the most serious time, either to let Tang San escape or to let him obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.]
[Xiao Wu herself disappeared, directly sacrificing her soul and body, leaving behind only an empty rabbit shell. That was the real tragedy.]
The moment those words appeared, Xiao Wu froze, her mind going blank.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
According to what Lin Yuan was saying, in that world where Lin Yuan wasn't present, she would willingly sacrifice herself for Tang San?
For someone she didn't even like that much?
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, still writing in his diary, thought that since he had already mentioned Xiao Wu's sacrifice, he might as well completely expose Tang San's "sacrifice-flow" combat style.
Although he didn't believe the current Xiao Wu had any connection with Tang San, that didn't stop him from exposing Tang San and changing Xiao Wu's impression of him from "indifferent" to "dislike."
Previously, although he exposed that Tang Hao discovered her identity but didn't kill her in order to save the hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone for Tang San, it happened to link up with this exposure.
After all, in the original story, Xiao Wu did indeed become Tang San's soul ring and soul bone; he wasn't making that up.
At most, when writing later, he could add a bit of artistic embellishment and some conspiracy speculation.
After all, he already knew others possessed copies of the diary.
If he still wrote honestly without any processing or subjective interpretation, wouldn't that knowledge be wasted?
[If Suo Tuo City's Grand Soul Arena was the first time Tang San powered up for Xiao Wu, then the second time should be when the Shrek Seven Devils collectively went to Sunset Forest to obtain their fourth soul rings.]
In reality, the first power-up wasn't at the Suo Tuo Grand Soul Arena, but during Shrek's entrance test battle against Zhao Wuji.
But Lin Yuan couldn't write that.
After all, Xiao Wu had used her charm ability for Tang San's safety back then, suffered a spiritual backlash, and only afterward did Tang San use hidden weapons.
Strictly speaking, the Suo Tuo Grand Soul Arena should be the third power-up.
The second was when they went to the Star Dou Forest, and Xiao Wu was suddenly taken away by Er Ming.
In both cases, Tang San powered up but still couldn't defeat the opponent. If those were written into the diary, it wouldn't achieve his intended effect.
So later, he only needed to slightly change the order or skip them entirely.
He only wanted Xiao Wu to belong to him alone.
What was wrong with that?
Heh heh heh…
At the same time, the chat group exploded because of this topic.
Everyone's attention instantly shifted from "Qin Ming betraying the royal family" to the shocking subject of "Xiao Wu's sacrifice."
[I Don't Like Men: Heh, another love-brain. Ah Yin sacrificed herself for Tang Hao before, and you sacrificed yourself for Tang San?]
[I Don't Like Men: What a coincidence, right? Tang Hao and Tang San are father and son, and both had someone sacrifice themselves for them. I feel like there's definitely a conspiracy here.]
[I Don't Like Men: Xiao Wu, maybe the reason you sacrificed yourself was Tang Hao advising Tang San behind the scenes. Otherwise, how do you explain it? Now it seems Lin Yuan's earlier claim that Tang Hao plotted against Ah Yin is quite believable.]
In Qian Renxue's view, once might be a coincidence, but twice?
And both Ah Yin and Xiao Wu just happened to sacrifice themselves for members of the Tang family.
At that moment, Hu Liena finally seized the opportunity.
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: Hmph, you all said Teacher was love-brained before. Looks like you two soul beasts are even worse, actually getting tricked into sacrificing yourselves, haha!]
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Hawthorns: Ahhh! Stop talking! The person I like now is Lin Yuan, not Tang San! That person definitely isn't me! I don't accept it!]
[Nine Heart: I counted carefully, and it seems there are quite a few love brains in our group:.The Pope, Qian Renxue, Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong… there aren't many of us, yet five are love-brained.]
Ye Lingling rarely spoke in the chat group, but when she did, she silenced everyone.
That's right.
None of them had realized there were so many love-brains in the group.
[Seven-Treasure Little Rich Lady: Hmph, I'm very smart; I could never be love-brained.]
[Sworn Protector of the Pope: I wouldn't be love-brained either. I need to train hard to live up to the Teacher's expectations!]
[I Don't Like Men: Since when am I love-brained? I don't admit it! And don't speak too confidently. Maybe someday Lin Yuan will expose one of you as love-brained, and then you'll have nowhere to cry.]
Hu Liena didn't realize that her words at this moment would later return like a boomerang to hit her.
[Seven-Treasure Little Rich Lady: Forget the love-brain topic for now. This Qin Ming doesn't seem a bit like an ungrateful wolf. What do you think, Sister Yanyan? You interact with him more often.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Well… I'm not sure what to say. The academy never required graduates to serve the royal family; that would be too domineering.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: But whether the three education committee members or the royal family privately approached Qin Ming, that's hard to say. After all, his talent is obvious.]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: And Lin Yuan mentioned that he would become the second-youngest to break through to Soul Emperor. Becoming a Titled Douluo in the future is practically guaranteed. The royal family would naturally want him to serve them.]
[Seven-Treasure Little Rich Lady: If I remember correctly, Qin Ming's fifth soul ring is purple, right? With his talent, shouldn't his fifth soul ring be ten thousand years old?]
