Chapter 100: The Bitter Flesh Scheme Confirmed! The True Killer of Her Mother Finally Exposed!
[Now that we look back and carefully think it through, this whole thing is riddled with logical flaws! Some of them are even fatal loopholes!]
[First Point: Skill Uncertainty!]
[Tang San wanted to give the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone to Xiao Wu so she could gain flight and escape.]
[But the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone granted Tang San the ability to fly. How could he possibly guarantee that after Xiao Wu fused with it, she would also obtain a flight skill?]
[You have to know that soul bone skills are random, or they mutate according to the characteristics of the soul master!]
[And honestly speaking, for a plant-type Blue Silver Emperor soul bone to produce a flight ability in the first place is already absurd beyond belief!]
[Yet Tang San gambled Xiao Wu's life on this extremely low-probability "luck"?]
[Second Point: Fusion Time!]
[Fusing a soul bone requires time. On a battlefield where twenty Soul Saints were besieging them and life and death could be decided in an instant,]
[Unless Xiao Wu could fuse the soul bone instantaneously, she would have been captured by Spirit Hall long before the fusion was complete!]
[As the disciple of the Grandmaster, could Tang San really not know such basic common sense?]
[Third Point: The Most Crucial Issue—Physique!]
[What state was Xiao Wu in at that time?]
[She was a soul beast in her transformation phase (juvenile stage). Although she had taken human form, she had not yet fully matured (in other words, she had not reached the rank 60 maturity stage).]
[After transforming, a soul beast must enter the mature stage and completely become human before it can absorb a soul bone!]
[At that time, Xiao Wu clearly did not meet this condition!]
[With Tang San's extensive theoretical knowledge, would he really not know this?]
Once these three points were laid out, Tang San's so-called "deep affection" was practically being ground into the dirt.
Xiao Wu sat in her seat, her small hands tightly covering her mouth, her eyes filled with terror.
"That's right…"
"At that time, I hadn't reached the mature stage. I couldn't have absorbed a soul bone at all!"
"And soul bone fusion is so slow. How could there possibly have been enough time?"
"Was Tang San really trying to save me… or was he putting on a show?"
However, Lin Yuan's analysis was far from over.
The most fatal fourth point arrived.
[Fourth Point: Absolute strategic stupidity!]
[In the original story, Tang San actually chose to take Xiao Wu away from the core area where Da Ming and Er Ming were immobilized and run toward the outer region?]
[That's practically a brain hemorrhage-level operation!]
[At that time:
- Da Ming and Er Ming were immobilized.
- Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were also immobilized.
- Both sides were trapped within the Polar Static Domain.]
[Isn't that the perfect scenario for attacking a stationary target?]
[What did Tang San have at his disposal?
- The Eight Spider Lances
- Hidden weapons
- Even the Clear Sky Hammer]
[Within that limited range, as long as he used his movement skills, even if it meant staking everything on a single desperate strike, he could attack either Chrysanthemum Douluo or Ghost Douluo.]
[Even slight interference would instantly break the Polar Static Domain!]
[The moment the domain was lifted, Da Ming and Er Ming, two hundred-thousand-year soul beast overlords, would regain their ability to move!]
[That's combat power equivalent to two Rank 96 Super Douluo!]
[Dealing with a group of Soul Saints would be like slapping children one by one!]
[That was the only viable way to break the deadlock!]
[But what did Tang San choose?]
[He ignored such an obvious "victory equation."]
[Instead, he dragged Xiao Wu outward, choosing to play cat and mouse with twenty Soul Saints?]
[If that isn't courting death, what is?]
[With their strength below rank 60, how could the two of them possibly escape a carpet-style pursuit by twenty Soul Saint-level experts?]
[Therefore, I have reason to suspect that everything was merely foreshadowing for the final "sacrifice" outcome—a bitter flesh scheme.]
[Only by pushing Xiao Wu into absolute despair, only by letting her witness his "near death," could she willingly choose to sacrifice herself!]
[Only then could he justifiably obtain that hundred-thousand-year soul ring, break through rank 60 in one stroke, and acquire a genuine hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone!]
[And there's a fifth point—most terrifying upon deeper thought:]
[If not for Tang San's involvement, Spirit Hall's team might not have located Xiao Wu so quickly at all!]
[The reason this soul hunt operation went so smoothly was because Tang San was absolutely the greatest contributor!]
Seeing this, Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief.
Xiao Wu: ??? Wasn't he going to save me?
[Think about it—how vast is the Star Dou Forest?]
[It's a soul beast habitat spanning two great empires! The core area alone is boundless!]
[Although Spirit Hall discovered that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, they did not know her relationship with Da Ming and Er Ming, nor her precise place of residence.]
[Under normal circumstances, they should have been searching slowly from the outer regions or splitting up to track clues.]
[Even though Bibi Dong once killed Xiao Wu's mother and obtained her soul ring and soul bone, she still didn't know Xiao Wu had two overlord-level "younger brothers"!]
[But what happened instead?]
[Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo led the Golden Generation straight into the core area, locking onto the target with precision, almost without taking any detours!]
[That's obviously suspicious!]
[Among that group, who was the only person capable of quickly and accurately locating Xiao Wu?]
[Only Tang San!]
[First, Tang San came to the Star Dou Forest under Tang Hao's orders specifically to find Xiao Wu. Tang Hao must have told him her approximate location.]
[Second and most crucial, the Blue Silver Domain!]
[After awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, every strand of Blue Silver Grass within the forest became his eyes and ears!]
[As long as he released his spiritual power, everything within several li, even dozens of li, would be under his control!]
[He blended into Spirit Hall's team, appearing to "scout the path." But in reality?]
[Did he use the Blue Silver Domain to precisely avoid powerful soul beasts, leading Spirit Hall straight to their target?]
[Without his "guidance," finding a deliberately hidden Xiao Wu in the vast Star Dou Forest would be like searching for a needle in the ocean!]
[So calling him an accomplice in Xiao Wu's death is not excessive at all!]
[It could even be said that he personally handed the butcher's blade into Spirit Hall's hands!]
In the classroom.
Xiao Wu stared at the diary, her mind completely blank.
"So… you were the one who led them to me?"
"Tang San… What a calculation."
At this moment, Xiao Wu's heart had already gone numb.
After all, she was merely an observer now, not someone reliving the experience firsthand. Toward Tang San's actions, she felt neither affection nor complicated emotion.
Only anger.
And a deep sense of relief.
Relief that she had met Lin Yuan.
Relief that she had seen the "script" in advance.
Relief that she would no longer be that pitiful, naïve fool.
