Tang San Ruined, His Cultivation Plummets

Tang San had no time to react.

Before he could even use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he had been swept into the air and carried away from the academy.

"Wh-who are you?"

Tang San was scared out of his wits.

Someone had appeared out of nowhere to take him away. No matter how he looked at it, something was wrong.

The person, however, gave no answer and simply kept flying.

When he saw Spirit Hall drawing closer and closer, he seemed to understand.

The person who had seized him was from Spirit Hall.

But why had Spirit Hall seized him?

Had his identity been exposed?

It was entirely possible!

Sure enough, when he was brought into the great hall and forced to his knees, Chu Xuan, seated on the throne, exposed his identity the moment he spoke.

"Tang San, son of Tang Hao. Innate Full Soul Power, Twin Martial Souls, and level twenty-nine Soul Power. You do have some ability."

"Wh-who are you?"

Cold sweat poured down Tang San's face.

Spirit Hall had clearly investigated him thoroughly to be able to recite his details so easily.

"Tang Hao values you highly. He believes your talent is exceptional and even sees you as his opportunity to return to his sect."

"So I'd very much like to know how he would feel if he learned that his son's soul had been devoured by the soul of an outsider."

"What are you talking about?"

Tang San's expression changed slightly.

The soul of an outsider?

Did this person know about his circumstances?

No, absolutely impossible!

He had never mentioned his transmigration, not even to the people closest to him.

He had indeed sensed the devouring of the soul.

After transmigrating, he had arrived in an infant's body.

To obtain the infant's body, he had chosen to devour the infant's soul and turn it into nourishment for himself.

That was also one of the reasons his spiritual power was stronger than other people's.

Chu Xuan said with a smile, "Still pretending? The soul in that body of yours doesn't have the right scent. Although the souls have fused, the signs of two souls in one body remain."

"And those special methods of yours-did you really think everyone was a fool?"

The people around Tang San had never noticed anything amiss.

Even when he made Hidden Weapons, they had only marveled at his skill.

They had never considered how Tang San was able to make such intricate Hidden Weapons.

Although he had drawn blueprints for the Hidden Weapons, he had not created them; he had merely drawn blueprints that already existed.

Someone who had gone through neither the process of creating nor thinking could make Hidden Weapons like those, yet no one had been suspicious.

It could only be said that the protagonist halo's effect in lowering the intelligence of the people around him was truly terrifying.

It had even reached an absurd degree.

Anyone with a normal brain would have suspected something was wrong with Tang San.

Soul possession was nothing unusual to truly powerful factions.

That much could be seen from what happened ten thousand years later.

So why had those people still failed to notice anything amiss?

Naturally, it was because of Tang San's protagonist halo.

With the protagonist halo around him, everyone around him was a simpleton, blindly supporting and trusting him.

Now that Chu Xuan had said it aloud, Tang San was utterly stunned.

Bibi Dong's heart sank. She had not expected Tang San, standing before her, to be a possessor as well.

That was rather interesting.

If Tang Hao found out, his composure would probably shatter.

"Did you notice anything amiss on your way back?"

"Did you find any trace of Tang Hao?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly replied, "I did not."

"Is that so? Then give it to him, before a long night brings bad dreams."

Chu Xuan spoke with a smile. Administering the poison directly was the best approach.

The longer they dragged things out, the more disadvantageous it would be.

Only by settling the matter early could they rest easy.

So many villains had failed because they talked too much.

He had to remember the lessons of those villains and avoid making the same mistake.

Bibi Dong took out the soul poison, and Chrysanthemum Douluo pried Tang San's mouth open.

He poured an entire bottle of soul poison straight down Tang San's throat.

Tang San instinctively tried to resist, but he could not resist at all.

As the soul poison poured into him, Tang San's pupils trembled violently.

It's over. I'm really finished.

The intense pain in his body nearly made him faint.

More frightening still, something had gone wrong with his Martial Souls.

A layer of blackish-green substance had infected them.

Not just the Blue Silver Grass, but the Clear Sky Hammer too!

Both Martial Souls had been infected and severely damaged.

Even his Martial Soul Origin had been damaged.

"Wh-what is this?"

Tang San trembled. As his Martial Soul Origin suffered damage, his Soul Power also began to decline.

It fell from level twenty-nine all the way to level twenty-two, and it was still slowly dropping.

"A sweet little drink. I'm sure you'll like it."

Chu Xuan laughed heartily.

Tang San had now been ruined by their playing.

With his Martial Soul Origin damaged, it was not something just any method could restore.

Even if Tang San was skilled in poisons, neutralizing the soul poison would not be so easy.

It would require a large number of Immortal Herbs.

And those Immortal Herbs were at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He would find time to go there and pluck the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first, cutting off Tang San's chance of restoring his Martial Soul Origin.

"You... bastard!!!"

Tang San gritted his teeth. Now, even circulating his Soul Power caused him excruciating pain.

With his origin damaged, his cultivation would also be greatly hampered.

The advantage granted by the Mysterious Heaven Skill was completely gone.

Most terrifying of all, the poison had not disappeared. It remained attached to his Martial Souls, causing his Soul Power to keep declining.

If not for his Soul Rings, it would probably fall below level twenty in the future, and perhaps even lower.

"Don't be in such a hurry. This is only the beginning. How long do you think it'll take Tang Hao to show himself?"

Chu Xuan spoke with a smile.

Tang San was bait, meant to lure Tang Hao into taking the hook.

Once Tang Hao took the hook, they would have a chance to kill him.

There were three Titled Douluo here now, so holding Tang Hao back would be no problem.

In addition, another Titled Douluo was protecting him from the shadows.

If they joined forces, dealing with Tang Hao would be no problem.

After all, Bibi Dong also had Twin Martial Souls.

If it was truly necessary, the gods would intervene.

Tang San now understood that these people's true target was his father.

Spirit Hall wanted to use him to lure his father into taking the bait, then kill both father and son.

Damn them!

Spirit Hall already had a way to die.

If he could leave alive, he would surely destroy Spirit Hall and avenge his grievance.

But would he have a chance at revenge?

Clearly not.

"This person is somewhat unusual. Keep him under strict guard. Assign at least two Soul Saints and one Soul Douluo."

"Yes!"

Bibi Dong agreed.

She could not refuse the God Child's order.

And after learning that Tang San was a possessor, she understood.

Possessors had some tricks up their sleeves and had to be treated with the utmost caution.

If he actually escaped using some special method, that would be troublesome.

"God Child, I suggest breaking his legs."

Bibi Dong made her suggestion, and Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"A good suggestion. Do it, then."

Bibi Dong truly was a formidable woman; her methods were indeed ruthless.

Once Tang San's legs were crippled, they would not need to worry about him escaping.

Bibi Dong pointed a finger, and two bolts of Soul Power shot out.

With several cracks, Tang San's leg bones were shattered to pieces. He fell to the ground, screaming again and again.
