Chapter 292 Tang San's Scheme: Want to Go to School Without Money? Ridiculous!
"The Mandragora Serpent... although it is only a hundred years old, it has excellent resilience, making it perfect as my Blue Silver Grass's first soul ring."
"As for Yu Xiaogang... if he dies here, it will be troublesome."
I haven't even fully grasped the theories in his head, nor have I figured out the configuration for the subsequent spirit rings. Tsk, what a burden; I still have to go to the trouble of saving him.
He looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground, and there was no concern for his elder in his eyes, only annoyance at the "damaged tools".
[Sky Screen Commentary:]
A life-saving grace?
No, it was just to preserve a copy of the "encyclopedia".
In Tang San's logic, everyone can be given a price tag.
Yu Xiaogang's value is "theoretical", while Xiao Wu's value is "a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone".
He himself was the high-ranking operator.
The scene then shifts to that moonlit night.
Tang San and Xiao Wu sat on the roof of Notting Academy.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's profile and uttered those words that moved countless people:
"If you disappear, I will search for you frantically."
Outside, in the realm of gods, Xiao Wu was already sobbing uncontrollably.
She once considered those words to be the most beautiful love confession she had ever heard in her life.
But now, the heavens are laying bare the bloody truth before her—
In the scene, a voice echoed deep within Tang San's heart:
"Of course I can't let you disappear."
You are a transformed soul beast. If you run away, or are taken away by another powerful being,
"Wouldn't my defying fate in this life become a joke?"
"I must keep you firmly by my side."
This innocent little rabbit, if given just a little 'love',
She would willingly give you everything, including her life.
"At that time, even if it is a sacrifice, it will be her own choice, and I will still be the affectionate 'victim'."
"vomit--"
In the realm of gods, some deities who still retained a sense of justice couldn't help but vomit.
This kind of scheming that takes innocent feelings to the extreme is more disgusting than a demon from the abyss.
"Tang San...you lied to me...you lied to me my whole life!"
Xiao Wu screamed shrilly, and the originally holy divine light on her body began to fluctuate violently, even showing signs of collapse.
She thought of Da Ming and Er Ming, and how they sacrificed themselves for Tang San. Could it be... that was also part of Tang San's plan?
Meanwhile, in every corner of the Douluo Continent, the beliefs of those Soul Masters who once worshipped the Sea God and admired Tang San have completely collapsed.
"Is this our sea god?"
A gambler who started scheming against his wife when he was six years old?
"He's not human at all... he's a monster in human skin!"
"Poor Sister Xiaowu, poor that 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit,"
She thought she had found salvation, but in reality, she had encountered the cruelest hunter!
[Sky Screen Commentary:]
This is just the beginning.
Next, let's see how this "righteous man" behaves at Shrek Academy.
He uses his hypocritical moral standards to judge others and thereby establish his so-called "Tang Clan hegemony."
The screen flickered again, and the dilapidated entrance to Shrek Academy appeared in the frame.
A blond-haired boy with sinister eyes was walking towards them with twins in his arms; that was Dai Mubai.
At this moment, Tang San's gaze locked onto Dai Mubai once again, and he secretly made a plan in his mind:
"Evil-eyed White Tiger?"
The aura of the Star Luo royal family… This person has an impulsive personality; he'd make a good candidate for a 'thug'."*
"With a little guidance, if he develops a sense of identification with me, the power of the Star Luo Empire might very well be put to use by my Tang Sect in the future."
Under the sky, Tang Hao, carrying the Clear Sky Hammer, walked step by step toward the direction of Holy Soul Village.
His steps were unsteady, but his murderous intent had solidified into a tangible form.
"It's not my child...it really isn't my child..."
"Although I, Tang Hao, have been reckless throughout my life, I would never have given birth to such a treacherous and vicious beast!"
"Ah Yin...you watch, I'm going to smash that soul that's taken over San'er's body to pieces!!"
The camera suddenly zooms out, looking down over the entire Douluo Continent, as if mocking a world that has been fooled by a lie for ten thousand years.
[Next Scene: Shrek's Humiliation—When double standards become instinct, when killing is cloaked in the guise of justice.]
The image on the sky trembled slightly, and the colors became even more ironic and vivid.
That's Soto, the famous Rose Hotel.
In the scene, Dai Mubai is embracing two twin sisters.
He was arrogantly confronting Tang San.
At this moment, Tang San's face was ashen as he stood in front of Xiao Wu.
He looks like a young hero who stands up for justice and fights against injustice.
However, the narration from the sky began with a hint of mockery:
[Sky Screen Commentary:]
In the popular version of the story, this is Tang San's first encounter with Dai Mubai, where he is fearless in the face of power and fights for his dignity and love.
But in reality, this was merely a rehearsal for "dog training."
In the scene, Tang San's pupils reflected Dai Mubai's arrogant appearance, but the voice in his heart was as cold as ice:
"Prince Xingluo... although he is a bit dissolute, his pride is excellent."
Killing such a person directly would not only offend the Star Luo royal family, but also waste a readily available combat power.
I need to demonstrate enough strength to make him feel threatened, and then subdue him with so-called 'sparring' and 'loyalty'.
"Once we subdue him, the Tang Sect's foundation in the Star Luo Empire will be half secured."
As for Dai Mubai's frivolous and disrespectful behavior towards the two girls?
Tang San remained completely unmoved, even showing a hint of disdain:
"Natives are natives after all; they only know how to indulge in physical desires."
But that's fine; people with weaknesses are easier to control.
[Sky Screen Commentary:]
See, this is what is called "integrity".
He didn't care about Dai Mubai's personal morality; he only cared whether this person's status qualified him to become his pawn.
The scene then shifts to the Shrek Academy registration area.
The teacher in charge of registration was coldly rejecting one ordinary family after another who had paid a registration fee of ten gold soul coins but were not admitted.
"Registration fees are non-refundable once paid!"
The teacher's voice was extremely domineering.
Outside, countless ordinary soul masters witnessed this scene and were immediately filled with indignation.
"Isn't this robbery?"
"Ten gold soul coins!"
That's several years' worth of expenses for an average family!
However, in the scene, Tang San, looking at those weeping commoner parents, revealed a haughty indifference in his eyes:
"No talent and yet you dare to try to change your fate?"
That's really overestimating themselves.
Although this academy is dilapidated, its rule of 'only accepting monsters' is very much in line with the elite principles of my Tang Sect.
The hard-earned money of these ordinary people can provide me with a better cultivation environment; in a way, they are doing their part for my future self.
