The Tenth Bullet, Reading Memory (Reset)

As much as Li Xiaoyao tormented Tang San, he hadn't forgotten his real purpose.

The bullet that had just pierced Tang San's right waist was deliberately a special one.

[Chronos: The Tenth Bullet (Yud)—capable of precisely conveying and reading the memories of the person struck.]

Through the power of the Tenth Bullet (Yud), he had already read all of Tang San's memories, laying bare every hidden secret of his past.

And among these was one of Li Xiaoyao's goals in coming to Suotuo City: obtaining the complete inheritance of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

The inner energy method of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, "Mysterious Heaven Skill"; the lightness skill, "Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track"; the hand training technique, "Mysterious Jade Hand"; the eye training method, "Purple Demon Eyes"; and the grappling mastery of deflection and control, "Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon."

Beyond that, the memories also held all the secrets of the Hundred Forms of Hidden Weapons, including design blueprints for over a hundred types of hidden weapons and forging techniques, all clearly laid out.

Even the knowledge of Immortal Herbs that Tang San possessed, the methods for refining poisons, and years of cultivation and forging experience were all absorbed into his grasp.

"Immortal Herb knowledge is in hand. Once I find a chance to hunt Xiao Wu and absorb her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring to break through to the seventh ring Soul Saint, only the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will remain!"

As a transmigrator, Li Xiaoyao knew perfectly well that one of Tang San's greatest opportunities was Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest.

Now that he had set himself against Tang San, he would never leave these opportunities for his enemy.

And Li Xiaoyao, who knew nothing of Immortal Herbs, had already included "acquiring Immortal Herb knowledge" in his plan when he set out for Suotuo City to hunt Xiao Wu.

After all, if he wanted to seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, knowing nothing about identifying or using Immortal Herbs would leave him empty-handed even at the treasure site.

That was precisely why, when he shot through Tang San's waist, he deliberately used Chronos's Tenth Bullet, using the chance to read Tang San's memories to take all his Immortal Herb knowledge for himself, paving the way to seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well later.

"Heh! What do you think?"

"Little Scoundrel, do you want to keep going?"

The smile at the corner of Li Xiaoyao's mouth grew more amused, but a hint of scrutiny lurked deep in his eyes.

He could clearly sense a faint, vast soul power lingering in the shadows of the inn—though it was suppressed to the extreme, the overbearing and weathered aura within it unmistakably belonged to Tang Hao.

And Tang Hao's current reaction of staying put confirmed Li Xiaoyao's suspicions.

As long as he didn't deliver a killing blow to Tang San before figuring out Li Xiaoyao's identity and background, the Tang Hao hiding in the shadows wouldn't reveal himself easily.

After all, strong as Tang Hao was, he still feared unknown threats.

Weighing this, Tang Hao could only endure for now.

And that suited Li Xiaoyao perfectly, letting him continue to toy with Tang San without restraint.

"Damn it! Li Xiaoyao, don't get too cocky!"

Hearing the taunt, Tang San struggled to his feet, shock and unwillingness blazing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Li Xiaoyao to not only have a high Soul Power Level and terrifying soul ring configuration, but also a Spatial Teleportation Soul Bone Skill.

And he himself had been taken down with a single shot—this was completely beyond his combat capabilities!

What use were his Tang Sect's lethal poisons that killed on contact?

What use were his proud Tang Sect hidden weapons?

Against a Spatial Teleportation Soul Bone Skill, he couldn't possibly hit Li Xiaoyao. All his predictions became a joke, every technique meaningless!

Tang San clenched his fists tightly, nails digging deep into his palms as blood trickled through his fingers.

And it was this humiliation and resentment that stirred a fierce greed within him.

"Such a powerful Spatial Teleportation Soul Bone Skill is wasted on Li Xiaoyao. A skill this strong should only be in my hands to realize its true value!"

"If I can seize Li Xiaoyao's Spatial Teleportation Soul Bone, then combine it with my Tang Sect techniques and Twin Martial Souls advantage, my future achievements will be limitless!"

At these thoughts, a ruthless glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, but the searing pain in his body forced him to suppress his greed.

"Tch! What a formidable peer!"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai obediently withdrew his White Tiger Martial Soul, his expression deadly serious as he analyzed Li Xiaoyao's identity and background in his mind.

As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, his vision far surpassed over ninety percent of ordinary Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent.

The soul ring configuration of Three Purple One Black—he only needed one look to know Li Xiaoyao's identity was anything but simple.

Besides, it wasn't Dai Mubai who was injured.

Knowing his own strength was inferior, he wasn't foolish enough to jump into this mess.

As for Tang San, beaten black and blue by Li Xiaoyao?

That little scoundrel had nothing to do with Dai Mubai anyway.

"Third Brother!"

Seeing Tang San covered in blood, Xiao Wu, who had been fighting Dai Mubai, no longer cared about the battle. She screamed and rushed to Tang San.

"Hey! Li!"

"This was just a spar!"

"Don't go too far, you bastard!"

Xiao Wu helped Tang San up, her eyes red-rimmed as she turned to glare at Li Xiaoyao, her pretty face flushed with anger.

"Oh? I went too far?"

Li Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

"Heh! Little Rabbit!"

"If I remember correctly, wasn't it you who told this Little Scoundrel to challenge me to a one-on-one?"

A playful smile curled at the corner of Li Xiaoyao's mouth.

"Little Rabbit, you want to stand up for this Little Scoundrel?"

"Fine! Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"

"Both of you come at me together!"

"Me taking on the two of you isn't out of the question!"

As these words left his mouth, the Soul Power pressure from Li Xiaoyao locked onto Xiao Wu once more.

"You... you... you..."

Feeling that faint aura of death again, Xiao Wu froze on the spot, her entire body turning cold, her breathing becoming labored.

"Xiao Wu, don't worry! I'm fine!"

While Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Wu were speaking, Tang San also used the Mysterious Heaven Skill to seal his own acupoints and stop the bleeding.

Leaning on Xiao Wu for support as he struggled to stand, Tang San gritted his teeth, a stiff smile flashing in his eyes.

"So, are you two fighting or not?"

"Give me an answer soon. Don't waste my time."

"With that little bit of skill you've got, you're not even enough to warm me up."

Li Xiaoyao looked at Tang San with a completely indifferent gaze.

He couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge the hidden venom deep in Tang San's eyes; after all, he had long known Tang San's true nature.

Always spouting "already has a Way of Seeking Death"—that was Tang San's real face.

If Tang San were to start calling him brother, Li Xiaoyao would have to wonder if this Tang San had been possessed yet again, or if he was brewing something even more insidious!

The next second, Li Xiaoyao raised his right hand.

The Flintlock Pistol slowly aimed at Xiao Wu—
