Despair Spreads

"The Xiao San is awake! The Xiao San is awake!"

Tang San groggily opened his eyes, and before he could even come to his senses, an urgent voice entered his ears.

Tang San, whose consciousness was in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a chill rushed into his soul.

The bed beneath his buttocks felt like a red-hot iron, and Tang San sprang up from it.

After landing, looking at my shadow reminded me of those scarlet eyes.

Thinking of those red eyes, Tang San subconsciously tried to get away from his own shadow, but no matter how far he retreated, his shadow always followed him.

Moreover, as Tang San stared at the shadow for three seconds, a pair of scarlet eyes opened in the shadow as he gazed upon it.

At this moment, Tang San's soul seemed to freeze.

"The Xiao San!"

"Third Brother!"

Just as Tang San was completely immersed in unparalleled fear, the door to his room was suddenly pushed open.

A large group of people rushed in.

Xiao Wu, who was leading the group, was wrapped in bandages and looked pale, but she was the first to rush in and immediately pounced on Tang San, who was leaning against the wall.

"Third Brother, are you alright?"

Xiao Wu's anxious voice woke Tang San from his fear.

Tang San, realizing what was happening, shifted his gaze from his own shadow to Xiao Wu.

As Tang San's gaze shifted, the red eyes on his shadow disappeared.

This made the others who rushed into the room think they were seeing things.

"Third Brother, are you alright?"

Xiao Wu asked again anxiously.

Tang San was in a very bad state. His face was pale, his eyes were red, and he was soaked in cold sweat, looking extremely disheveled.

"I..."

Tang San opened his mouth, but his words were trembling and he could not speak clearly.

Swallowing hard, Tang San forced himself to steady himself and managed a smile.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

"Xiao Wu, you all go out first, I'll talk to Xiao San."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang also noticed that Tang San was acting strangely. He slowly walked to Xiao Wu's side and whispered instructions to her.

"No, I want to watch over Third Brother!"

Xiao Wu shook her head desperately.

Yu Xiaogang didn't speak, but instead looked at Tang San.

Tang San sighed. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore, and now the only one who could help him was Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiao Wu, be good and go out with them first. I have something to discuss with the teachers."

"Third Brother ~"

"Be good, listen to me, go back and take good care of your injuries!"

Tang San also saw the bandages on Xiao Wu's body, and a look of heartache flashed in his eyes. He now roughly knew what time it was, at least after the first competition, so he only had eight days left at most.

No matter how angry he was at those who hurt Xiao Wu, his first priority was to deal with the threats to his life.

"Boss Dai, thank you for your help. I have something to discuss with the teachers, so please excuse me for a moment."

Tang San gently pushed Xiao Wu away from his arms and handed her to Jiang Zhu and Ning Rongrong before speaking to Dai Mubai and the others.

Dai Mubai and the others glanced at Tang San and Xiao Wu, and finally could only nod and leave.

Since Tang San's words did not include asking the teacher to leave, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender naturally remained in the room.

"What exactly happened, Xiao San?"

Why did you come back from outside in the middle of the night and remain unconscious for a whole day and night?

Yu Xiaogang helped Tang San to sit down at the table, then gestured for Flender and the others to sit down as well before asking Tang San directly.

Tang San did not speak first, but looked at Flender.

Flender's expression was also not very good. He flashed to the front door, opened the door, and looked expressionlessly at the group of Shrek students gathered at the door.

"Are you curious? Then go run a lap around Spirit City and come back!"

Flender's loud shout startled the Shrek students, who immediately ran out of the hotel's Heaven Dou Resting Area.

After Flender drove everyone away, Liu Erlong released her aura to completely envelop the room, preventing outsiders from eavesdropping.

"Alright, Xiao San, you can talk now."

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction as he watched the two men's actions.

"Teacher, I went to the Star Luo Resting Area the night before last and was discovered by Zhu Zhuqing. She planted a curse in my shadow that will take my life after the competition ends."

Tang San said bitterly.

He knew now was no longer the time to hide it; if he continued to conceal it, he would lose his life.

Zhu Zhuqing planted a Dark Attribute curse on him, but his teacher's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was the Golden Holy Dragon of the Light Attribute, making him the most likely person he knew to break his Shadow Curse.

"Zhu Zhuqing? That Star Luo Empress?"

How could she possibly... You've been exposed!?

Flender's eyes widened and he exclaimed in shock.

He was one of the few who knew Tang San's true identity, but after being warned by Yu Xiaogang, he kept his mouth shut.

Tang San nodded with a helpless, bitter smile.

Yu Xiaogang almost fell off the chair.

Zhu Zhuqing's strength is evident to all across the continent. Originally, he intended for Tang San to develop his strength cautiously, but now...

Liu Erlong quickly helped Yu Xiaogang up.

"What are you guys talking about? What did the Xiao San reveal?"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm his emotions.

"Xiao San, tell me everything, and I will do my best to help you resolve this matter."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

He was very angry, angry that Tang San wouldn't listen to him. He had told Tang San to keep himself hidden, but Tang San actually went to the Star Luo Resting Area.

What are we going there for?

Although I'm furious, the most pressing issue right now is Tang San's life or death.

So even Yu Xiaogang could only wait for Tang San's explanation with a gloomy face.

Tang San glanced at Liu Erlong and ultimately decided to start explaining from the very beginning.

Liu Erlong was shocked when she first heard that Tang San was actually Tang Hao's son, but she quickly calmed down.

Looking at the calm Yu Xiaogang and Flender, she realized that she was probably the only one who knew nothing about it.

However, she did not interrupt Tang San. After Tang San explained everything, all three of them were eerily silent.

They really wanted to scold Tang San, but now that Tang San had one foot in hell, they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

Yu Xiaogang wanted to say a few words of reproach, but he didn't know how to start.

If his plan hadn't been delayed, how could Tang San have taken action himself, and how could he have caught Zhu Zhuqing's eye?

That's partly his fault.

But even if they knew the reason, what could they do?

Who is Zhu Zhuqing?

The strongest known figures on the continent can be killed at will, the former emperor of the Spirit Hall Star Luo Empire Pope be destroyed at will, and the number one sect in the world, the Clear Sky Sect, can be slaughtered at will.

What can these little karami do against Zhu Zhuqing?

What can be used to save Tang San?

A sense of Despair and fear spread throughout the private room.
