One of the Ten Great Tortures; Tang San's Terror

Yu Xiaogang was dragged out by two jailers, his face full of terror as he struggled nonstop.

"No, no, I don't want to go! Don't pull me, don't pull me!"

He clung desperately to the doorframe, so frightened that his soul was nearly flying out of his body.

He never would have imagined that saying just one sentence could provoke Chu Xuan, that crazy little devil.

He had only his own loose mouth to blame. Why had he said anything at all?

This kid was Bibi Dong's son. He knew Yu Xiaogang had once deceived Bibi Dong's feelings, so he had come for revenge.

If Yu Xiaogang really fell into his hands, he would probably suffer a fate worse than death.

"Hey~ What are you so scared of? It's a very fun game. Trust me, you'll soon fall in love with the feeling."

"Oh, right, what about you and Liu Erlong? How exciting do you think it'll be if she finds out?"

"When the time comes, shall I give her permission to come to the dungeon and have a chat with you?"

Hearing that, Yu Xiaogang trembled with fright and let go.

This kid was actually going to tell Liu Erlong about those things too?

If Liu Erlong learned the truth and then came to the dungeon...

Hiss~

He didn't dare imagine the scene.

He would definitely die a miserable death.

One punch from that she-tyrannosaurus Liu Erlong could send him to reunite with his great-grandmother.

"Devil, you're a devil!"

Sobbing, Yu Xiaogang was hauled toward the punishment chamber by the jailers.

Chu Xuan followed behind with a smile.

A devil?

This was only the beginning.

Since Yu Xiaogang had dared to do those things before, he had to be prepared for revenge.

Dealing with people from the protagonist's camp like Tang San put Chu Xuan in a great mood.

It could also trigger choices.

So why not?

People from the protagonist's camp were definitely trigger monsters for God-Level Choice missions.

If he found more people from the protagonist's camp, perhaps he could become a Titled Douluo in less than a year?

The thought was a little exciting.

Seeing his teacher taken away, Tang San had also panicked.

"T-teacher..."

He called out, and Chu Xuan, who was walking ahead, stopped and turned to look at him.

"Trying to remind me you're here?"

"I dealt with your teacher but not you, is that it?"

Tang San's expression changed slightly, and even his lips went pale.

"S-sorry, I just had a nightmare and woke up scared."

"Oh, that must have been quite a frightening nightmare."

Chu Xuan smiled and paid him no more attention.

He naturally knew very well what Tang San was like at heart.

Respecting teachers and honoring their teachings?

Don't make him laugh. That was all a persona, a show for others to see.

After all, could someone who treated a drop of kindness as a reason to kill really sacrifice himself for someone else?

One look at him lowering his head now made it clear: when disaster struck, it was every man for himself!

So what if it was his own teacher?

Staying alive and avoiding punishment were what mattered most.

Yu Xiaogang was taken to the punishment chamber, where the jailers were preparing to tie him to the torture rack.

Chu Xuan stopped them and said, "Go get a brush."

"A brush?"

The jailers didn't understand. This lord was of noble status and had entered with the Pope Token.

Naturally, they had to comply with all his requests.

But what did he need a brush for now?

"This man is dirty. Give him a good scrubbing."

Yu Xiaogang froze, and the jailers were dumbfounded too.

Weren't they supposed to punish him?

They were even giving him a bath?

Holy shit!

What kind of thought process did this lord have?

What kind of prisoner had jailers specially scrubbing his body in a cell?

Yu Xiaogang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and mocked Chu Xuan for being too young.

He was just a little brat. What methods could he possibly have for torturing people?

Was he going to have the jailers wash Yu Xiaogang's body to make him feel ashamed?

How utterly laughable.

"Remember, it has to be an iron brush. Understood?"

With that one sentence, Chu Xuan shattered Yu Xiaogang's thoughts.

An iron brush?

He was going to scrub his body with an iron brush?

Damn it, was this guy a devil?

The jailers finally caught on and quickly found an iron brush.

"Go on, take good care of him. Remember, don't kill him outright."

At Chu Xuan's command, the jailers immediately stepped forward.

"Ah!!!"

As the iron brush scrubbed his body, the excruciating sensation made Yu Xiaogang feel as though he were about to ascend to heaven.

The pain was unlike anything he had ever felt. His skin and flesh were scrubbed off bit by bit, leaving him drenched in blood.

Chu Xuan watched from the side, while the considerate system had already issued his rewards.

His First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring had been raised to thirty thousand years, and he had also received a portion of golden sacred dragon essence blood.

According to the system's introduction, collecting five portions of golden sacred dragon essence blood would allow a person to awaken a Second Martial Soul.

Even someone born without a Second Martial Soul could awaken one by this method.

Moreover, the Second Martial Soul awakened would definitely be one of the top Martial Souls.

It seemed pretty good.

He currently had only his First Martial Soul. Should he give it a try when the time came?

On second thought, he decided against it.

For something like a Second Martial Soul, he could just rely on the system's choices.

The Martial Souls offered in the system's choices were sure to be formidable.

A top Martial Soul?

No, no, no. It had to be a god-level Martial Soul at the very least, or the system wouldn't be able to show its face.

As for the golden sacred dragon essence blood, he would hold on to it for now.

If he found someone to his liking later, he could consider letting them use it.

Five portions could awaken a Second Martial Soul, while one portion could strengthen the body and allow it to contain more Soul Power, making it one of the rarest treasures.

When used by someone else, it had another effect: loyalty!

Using these things on others was a surefire way to cultivate death warriors.

The loyalty effect ignored levels below god level. Anyone who used it would inevitably be loyal to him.

He thought about the Spirit Hall as it was now.

He had become the God Child and gained the highest status.

But that was due to the gods.

Qian Daoliu and the others would obey his orders, but they were not necessarily loyal in their hearts.

Strictly speaking, their loyalty lay with the Angel God and the gods.

Now that the golden sacred dragon essence blood had appeared, it could allow him to build a group truly his own.

Without looking again at Yu Xiaogang's miserable state, he turned and went over to Tang San.

Tang San was the most important protagonist in the original story. Chu Xuan would see whether he could trigger some choices from him today and get more rewards.

"Little Scumbag, we meet again."

A jailer brought over a sofa, and Chu Xuan sat down.

Comparing that with the conditions inside his cell, Tang San felt a pang of envy.

This was too much bullying!

"Wh-what are you here for?"

Tang San's voice was very low.

Just now, Yu Xiaogang had spoken too loudly and been taken to the punishment chamber.

With that example before him, he didn't dare make the same mistake.

"Nothing much. I was just wondering where a transmigrator like you got the courage to scheme against this person and that."

"I saw everything you and Tang Hao did to scheme against Xiao Wu."

"Besides, your true identity and where you came from-do you need me to say them out loud?"

At those words, Tang San was overcome with terror.

Not only did Chu Xuan know he was someone whose soul had seized another's body, but he also knew where Tang San came from?

A great terror, an absolute great terror.

So transmigration was such a terrifying thing?

"Y-you know my identity? So you want to kill me?"

Tang San propped himself up and crawled backward.

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Tang San's eyelids twitched. Chu Xuan definitely knew, definitely!

"By the way, are you waiting for Tang Hao to come save you? How long will it take him to get here? Ten days? A month? Or has he given up on you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the system notification sounded again.
