Tang San was very upset—extremely upset.
On the way there, he had traveled with Zhu Zhuqing. Although he disliked Zu Zong, he had a good impression of Zhu Zhuqing, a girl who trained diligently yet had a somewhat aloof personality.
Shrek Academy was some distance from Suotuo City. Wanting to look after Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San decided to slow down.
After all, although Zhu Zhuqing was an Agility-Attack System Soul Master, her endurance surely could not be much. Tang San considered himself to possess the Taoist School's superior internal art, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the Tang Sect's top-tier movement technique, the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. His top speed might be slightly lower than Zhu Zhuqing's after Martial Soul Possession, but his endurance was definitely exceptional.
Who would have thought that Zhu Zhuqing would consistently remain one step ahead of Tang San? Even when Tang San pushed both the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to their limits, he still could not catch up to Zhu Zhuqing. It left him deeply frustrated.
Tang San was a proud person. Though he appeared calm on the surface, his competitive nature ran deeper than anyone's. During their time together these past few days, he had gained some understanding of Zhu Zhuqing's speed and endurance. Tang San was baffled. How had Zhu Zhuqing become so formidable after just one day?
That would have been one thing. If he could not outrun Zhu Zhuqing, so be it—she was an Agility-Attack System Soul Master, after all. But he had never expected that on the way back, even Ye Lingling, a support-system Soul Master, would be able to keep up with his speed. This drove Tang San into self-doubt. Had he used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track incorrectly?
