Tang San Plundered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Leaving Nothing Behind! Utter Ruin!

Tang San raised his head and looked toward the Sky Screen, a trace of defiance in his eyes.

Come on.

Keep exposing me.

The more you suppress me, the more it proves how extraordinary I am.

The Sky Screen seemed to sense his inner thoughts.

Buzz—

Golden Light flowed once more, and the scene shifted.

A brand-new line of large golden words appeared.

It was a valley, lush and verdant, yet filled with multicolored poisonous miasma.

Heaven Dou Empire, Sunset Forest.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

In the scene stood an Old Man whose hair and beard were both dark green.

It was the Titled Douluo, "Poison" Dugu Bo.

Tang San appeared. Using knowledge from his previous life and records from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, he guided Dugu Bo and detoxified him.

His words were earnest and his attitude humble, portraying himself as a righteous man who would take a knife in the ribs for his friends.

Dugu Bo believed him.

He took Tang San as a friend despite their age difference and opened his lair—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the holy land of poison masters and pharmacists throughout the world—to Tang San without reservation.

The scene fast-forwarded.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San harvested countless immortal medicinal herbs.

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot...

Every single one was a treasure enough to drive the entire Spirit Master world mad.

Yet Tang San, like a greedy swarm of locusts, stripped the place bare.

Golden subtitles above the Sky Screen mercilessly stated the facts.

[Tang San gained Dugu Bo's trust under the pretext of helping him detoxify.]

[He then swept away every immortal medicinal herb within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.]

[Some were used for his own cultivation, forging the Water-and-Fire-Immune Body.]

[The rest were distributed to Shrek's other six members, as well as Master Yu Xiaogang, Headmaster Flender, and others, forcibly boosting the overall strength and talent of his faction.]

The scene froze.

On one side, Tang San led the Shrek group as their strength soared and their spirits blazed.

On the other was the bare Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a complete mess devoid of spiritual energy.

At that moment.

Across the entire continent, those Spirit Masters and sect leaders who had been watching from the sidelines, even those who had truly entertained a thought of investing, all sucked in a breath of cold air.

A chill ran down their spines.

This was helping someone?

This was investing?

This was fucking robbery!

It was wiping out a household!

He uprooted someone else's most precious foundation and used it to strengthen his own people!

These methods were more demonic than the demonic path!

Who would dare invest in Tang San?

If you gave him a treasured blade today, would he use it tomorrow to stab through your heart and seize your entire family's wealth?

At this moment, the idea of "investing in Tang San" was completely marked with a blood-red cross in everyone's minds.

By the Lake of Life.

At some unknown point, two more figures had appeared beside Ah Yin.

They were Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

Seeing the scene on the Sky Screen, Dugu Bo's aged face instantly turned deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Good heavens!"

He could not help but curse, patting his chest in lingering fear.

"I... I almost... really believed that little bastard's lies!"

"If Lord God King had not appeared in time..."

At the thought of that possibility, Dugu Bo felt a wave of dread.

Not only might little of his poison arts have remained, but even the meager family fortune he had left would have been carried off!

That truly would have been utter ruin, leaving him unable to rest even in death!

Dugu Yan's pretty face had also gone pale. She clenched her fists tightly as she looked at Tang San's "sincere" face on the Sky Screen, feeling sick to her stomach.

She had once felt a little favor toward Tang San as well.

Thinking back on it now, she had truly been blind.

"This is life."

Dugu Bo let out a long sigh, then turned and bowed deeply to Gu Nian beside him.

"Lord God King, you gave me my life, and you gave Yan Yan her future!"

"I have no way to repay such grace and kindness!"

Back when the Sky Screen had first descended and exposed Ah Yin's identity.

Gu Nian had sought him out in the guise of the Blue Silver God King.

He had not said much. With a flick of his finger, a drop of golden blood radiating boundless Life Aura entered Dugu Yan's glabella.

That was Essence Blood!

In an instant, Dugu Yan's Martial Soul underwent a heaven-shaking transformation.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, under the dual effects of the Essence Blood and Blue Silver Divine Power, evolved into an unprecedented form.

Blue Silver Medusa!

With a human upper body and a serpent tail, her hair was formed from countless tiny Blue Silver Emperors. She was born able to control the ultimate powers of life and virulent poison.

Her potential pointed directly toward a God Position!

At the same time, Gu Nian took action and completely cleared the toxic backlash that had lain dormant in Dugu Bo's body for decades.

Not only did it not ruin his cultivation, it instead made his Soul Power purer, and he faintly showed signs of breaking through to rank ninety-five.

Such Grace of Rebirth made Dugu Bo choose submission without hesitation.

Looking at it now, this was simply the wisest and most heroic decision he had ever made in his life!

Gu Nian looked at the emotional Dugu Bo, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"I did not keep your medicinal herbs for myself."

He spoke softly.

"They are now in the Divine Kingdom, being nourished by Life Divine Power. They are growing even better than before."

"Perhaps in a few years, a few with high spiritual intelligence may even take human form."

"Moreover, the immortal herbs were also used in your Martial Soul Evolution."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo was first stunned, then threw back his head and laughed. His laughter was filled with delight and relief.

"Ha ha ha! Good! Excellent!"

"Even if all those worldly possessions were given to Lord God King, how could this old man harbor a single complaint?"

He patted his chest, his voice ringing loud and clear.

"Let alone a few medicinal herbs!"

"Given the Grace of Rebirth you bestowed upon Yan Yan, even if you wanted this old man's life right now, if I, Dugu Bo, so much as frowned, I would not be a man!"

Shrek Academy.

When he saw the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well on the Sky Screen, completely plundered clean.

Flender's eye twitched fiercely.

Behind his crystal glasses, a profound, unprecedented wariness flashed through his shrewd eyes.

He recalled the medicinal herb Tang San had given him.

That herb had indeed evolved his Martial Soul and greatly increased his strength.

But now, it seemed that had not been a gift at all.

It was... stolen goods.

For the first time, Flender began seriously, solemnly considering a question.

Keeping a "monster" like Tang San at Shrek Academy.

For Shrek, was it truly a blessing, or a disaster?

Should he...

Take this chance to drive him out of the academy?

Flender's hesitation did not escape Tang San's notice.

The last shred of luck in his heart shattered along with it.

The Golden Ranking had stripped him bare.

Fine.

It did not matter.
