The oriole waited behind

Trapped in the spirit Soul Skill of that Shi Nian, Tang San entered an illusionary world.

He felt as if he had returned to the Tang Sect of his past life, but this time, his invincible Hidden Weapons were easily neutralized by the Tang Sect Elder.

Panic filled his mind, and Tang San stood there in a daze, only to be captured by the Tang Sect disciples.

Outside, Shi Nian stuck out his tongue, licking his lips with a sinister and ferocious grin. "Unfortunately, my strength is still too weak. If I could break through to the Titled Douluo, I would be able to see what he experienced in his dream."

For this kind of psychopath, prying into other people's secrets is the best way to please themselves.

It's a pity that Shi Nian's cultivation level wasn't high enough; otherwise, it would have been interesting if he had been able to glimpse Tang San's past life.

From the shadows, Wu Qi kept a close watch on the scene before him.

Unlike in the Original Space-Time, Tang San did not summon the Blue Silver Grass to protect himself.

Of course, without the Fortuitous Opportunity of the Icefire Yin Yang Well, and without the King of Hell's Summons, even if he could break through the illusion, he would be powerless against Shi Nian.

As the pressure from the Shi Nian continued to increase, Tang San let out a shrill scream and fainted.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Wu Qi gave the order, Dugu Bo swiftly made his move.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Time Freeze!"

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Inner Core was spat out from its mouth and hovered above Shi Nian's head.

The next instant, the entire space froze, and Shi Nian stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

What he did was a capital offense, and now that it has been discovered, his fate is self-evident!

For a moment, his face turned ashen, and he stood frozen in place, surrendering without resistance.

Dugu Bo revealed himself and walked towards him step by step. "Shi Nian, you harmed the Competitor. Do you know what crime you committed?"

Shi Nian saw who it was, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Does he have any hope of escaping from this Poison Douluo?

Wu Qi did not show himself, but hid in the shadows and observed everything.

At his prior instruction, Dugu Bo asked, "Shi Nian, let me ask you this: who did you fight with to steal the treasure-carrying vehicle from the Heaven Dou Auction House? Tell me honestly, and I might be able to plead for you!"

Shi Nian wasn't stupid; he knew exactly who the other party was.

If Dugu Bo had told him to give him a quick death, he would have believed him, after all, that was Dugu Bo's character.

By making such statements, he will only become more convinced that he has been tricked!

Of course, if that person's identity were revealed, he would also be doomed.

However, he still wanted to fight for himself; what if there was still a way to survive?

"Your Poison Douluo, I don't know what you're talking about, but as long as you spare me and keep today's secret, I'm willing to pay any price."

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, he continued to raise his bargaining chip, "I have a Soul Bone in my possession. If you're willing to release me, the Soul Bone is yours."

Dugu Bo sneered, "Since you're unwilling to admit it, I won't ask any further. As for the Soul Bone, isn't it right here on you? Do you think I'm a fool?"

After speaking, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul opened its blood-red maw.

Shi Nian's eyes were filled with terror, and he couldn't utter any screams. He was instantly dissolved into a pool of minced meat by the toxins.

A piece of Soul Bone, radiating a dazzling luster, lay quietly on the ground.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Dugu Bo sent a gentle surge of Soul Power to lift the Soul Bone and store it into his Soul Tool.

After confirming that no one was paying attention, Wu Qi got up and went to Dugu Bo's side.

"Old man, this isn't over yet. Use your Spiritual Power to unlock the mark on Tang San's Soul Tool."

"You want to steal his things?" Dugu Bo asked, puzzled.

Given Wu Qi's background, what couldn't he obtain? Would he need to steal it?

Wu Qi offered no explanation, only urging him to act as soon as possible.

Without hesitation, Dugu Bo used his Titled Douluo Spiritual Power to easily erase the mark of the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

Wu Qi lightly touched the jade within, and the contents spilled out.

The first jade stone, which was also the Tang San found most convenient to hold, was filled with Hidden Weapons.

Ordinary Hidden Weapons require special techniques to launch and are useless against Wu Qi. Mechanized Hidden Weapons are useful, but they are not Wu Qi's objective for this trip.

He searched the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges and found many blueprints for Hidden Weapons.

These blueprints were one of his objectives. With them, the Spirit Hall could fully arm itself in the future and defeat Tang San using Tang San's methods.

Wu Qi's primary goal was to obtain the Mysterious Heaven Skill from Tang San.

As everyone knows, this technique accompanied Tang San throughout his life, and even after he became God King, he was still able to cultivate it.

How could Wu Qi possibly miss out on such an exquisite item?

Unfortunately, Tang San did not record the cultivation technique in writing, and it was not found in his Soul Tool.

That makes sense. Tang San would never leak such an important technique; he would have memorized it deeply and wouldn't have left any written record of it.

Seeing that quite some time had passed, Dugu Bo urged, "Is the little guy ready yet?"

Robbery in broad daylight is disadvantageous if discovered.

With a sigh, Wu Qi stored all the blueprints into his Soul Tool. "Old man, clean up the battlefield. Make this look like the scene where Shi Nian tried to kill and rob, and you arrested him."

After saying that, he quickly left.

As dusk fell.

Shrek and his group gradually realized that Tang San was missing.

They first couldn't find each other at the competition venue, then they searched the places each other frequented, as well as the academy, but still couldn't find them.

For a moment, the Shrek members panicked.

"Damn it, where did the Little San go?" Yu Xiaogang frowned.

If he hadn't seen that Tang San had regained his confidence, he would have been worried that the other party couldn't handle the pressure and was using it to escape reality.

Yu Tianheng's face was grim. "Has everyone heard the recent rumors? I heard that many Competitor have gone missing recently, and there's still no news of them. The investigation team sent by the competition organizers hasn't found anything either."

"I'm worried that Tang San might..."

Before he could continue, Liu Erlong retorted, "Tian Heng, don't say such sarcastic things. The Little San will be fine."

Of course, she took his words to heart. "For the children's safety, our teachers will go out to search for Tang San. Everyone else, stay at the academy and wait for news."

Flender said, "I'll contact the organizers first. There's definitely something fishy about the Little San's sudden disappearance. More people mean more resources; maybe we can find Little San faster."

But they've already offended the Heaven Dou Royal Family; will the organizers help them find someone?

Flender had to try no matter what; he couldn't give up even the slightest hope.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, was extremely restless.

Back then, Tang Hao entrusted Tang San to him. If something were to happen to Tang San, how would he explain it?

Faced with the enraged Tang Hao, he probably wouldn't survive either.

"Dean, please send me back to my family so my grandfather can mobilize the family disciples to intervene?" Tailong said in a deep voice.

Flender did not object.

As soon as everyone stepped out of the academy, they saw the organizers rushing over.

"You must be the Dean of the Shrek Academy. Come with me, something's happened to your team."
