The Humiliation of Rotten Eggs

"Shut up, all of you!"

Hei Tang San turned around and let out a hysterical roar at the students below the stage who were mocking him, as well as the large words on the Sky Curtain.

"What do you know?"

"Teacher did it to prove the truth!"

That Bai Tang San was originally using Teacher's ideas!"

"If Teacher hadn't laid down the foundations of Martial Soul theory, how could he have come up with those mutation methods?"

"When you drink water, don't forget who dug the well!"

"You people only know how to look at the results. You don't understand the greatness of theory at all!"

Hei Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, like those of an enraged little beast.

He truly felt that Teacher had been wronged.

He also truly felt that this world was far too unfair to Teacher.

However.

His defense did not earn understanding.

It only brought even fiercer retaliation.

"Pah! What bullshit about digging wells!"

"He dug that well himself. What does it have to do with you?"

"Truth? More like crooked nonsense!"

Someone in the crowd, no one knew who, took the lead.

Whoosh—!

A rotten egg traced an arc through the air.

It struck Hei Tang San squarely on the forehead.

Smack!

Egg liquid splattered everywhere.

A foul stench instantly filled the air.

Then came.

Rotten vegetable leaves, stones, and even uneaten steamed buns from the cafeteria.

They flew toward the podium like raindrops.

"Get off the stage!"

"Lying master and disciple!"

"Stop making fools of yourselves here!"

Flender hurriedly activated his Martial Soul and raised a shield, trying to protect the master and disciple.

But the shield could block stones.

It could not block the overwhelming malice.

Hei Tang San stood there, allowing egg liquid to run down his cheeks and into his mouth.

Fishy.

Bitter.

He looked at the classmates below, who had once been fairly friendly toward him. Now, every one of them looked ferocious, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Then he looked up at the Sky Curtain.

In the White World, his other self was sitting in a merchant association, revered by countless people.

While he...

Was like a rat crossing the street.

"Why..."

"Why was telling the truth treated like this?"

"Why did Teacher, who was clearly right, have to suffer such unbearable humiliation?"

Hei Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his palms.

An unprecedented darkness began to grow wildly in his heart.

It was utter disappointment in this world's "justice."

"Teacher is not the one who is wrong."

"This world is."

"These ignorant mortals..."

"Do not deserve to hear the voice of truth."

Hei Tang San wiped the filth from his face.

The light that had once filled his clear eyes was gone.

What replaced it.

Was a chilling gloom and obsession.

"Since none of you believe it."

"Then I'll prove it to you."

"One day..."

"I'll make you kneel before Teacher and swallow these rotten eggs one by one!"

Nuoding City, top floor of the Tang Sect Merchant Association.

The deal over the Divided Mind Control Method and rare metal supply channels concluded with satisfied smiles on both sides.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong put away the priceless blueprint, and the suffocating pressure around him receded as well.

"Kid, you're not bad."

"In a few days, the first batch of Deep Sea Sinking Silver will be delivered."

Gu Rong gave Bai Tang San a deep look and turned, preparing to step into the void and leave.

However.

Just as one of his feet entered the spatial vortex.

His movement suddenly stopped.

"Hm?"

A soft exclamation rang through the room like a thunderclap.

Bone Douluo abruptly turned his head.

His eyes, which had already become as still as an ancient well, suddenly sharpened. They locked onto the little girl standing behind Bai Tang San.

Xiao Wu.

At that moment, Xiao Wu had her head lowered, both hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes.

The instant the Titled Douluo turned around.

It felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

It was a tremor from the depths of her soul.

The instinctive despair of a herbivore being watched by an apex predator.

"This little girl..."

Bone Douluo narrowed his eyes. His withered figure instantly retreated from the void and advanced toward Xiao Wu step by step.

"Her aura is rather strange."

"She doesn't seem human. More like..."

Boom!

Xiao Wu's face instantly turned as pale as paper. Her legs gave out, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

She had been discovered!

The terror of being seen through completely made her forget how to breathe.

At that critical moment.

Tap.

One step.

Just one step.

A black figure suddenly appeared between them without warning.

It blocked Bone Douluo's probing gaze.

It also blocked the terrifying pressure that was nearly crushing Xiao Wu.

Bai Tang San.

His expression was calm, and he was even tidying his cuff.

But the moment he stepped in front of Xiao Wu.

A thick, pungent medicinal scent spread from his sleeve.

It was the smell of realgar, strong liquor, and several specially volatile herbs mixed together.

It was extremely pungent.

It instantly covered every other scent in the room.

"Your Excellency."

Bai Tang San's voice sounded at just the right moment, interrupting Bone Douluo's thoughts.

"This is the merchant association's newly developed Demon Exorcism Powder. The smell is a little strong, but it is remarkably effective at repelling Soul Beasts."

"Also..."

Bai Tang San took out a prepared list from his robe and held it beneath Bone Douluo's nose.

"I suddenly thought of a detail regarding the specifications for the next batch of metals."

"If your sect can provide this Cold Heart Iron Mother, even if it is only one jin."

"I can give Sect Master Ning another Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Defense Enhancement plan."

Bone Douluo paused.

The medicinal smell in his nose made him frown instinctively.

And the "defense enhancement plan" Bai Tang San mentioned instantly diverted his attention.

The greatest weakness of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was its fragility.

If its defense could be enhanced...

"Defense enhancement?"

The sharpness in Bone Douluo's eyes faded, replaced by a hint of urgency.

"Kid, you're not joking?"

Bai Tang San smiled and pointed to the list.

"I never joke about business."

Bone Douluo gave Bai Tang San a deep look, then glanced at Xiao Wu, who was hiding behind him with only half her head exposed.

Under the cover of the medicinal smell, the little girl's aura was now nearly imperceptible.

"Forget it."

"She's just a little girl. Nothing worth looking at."

Bone Douluo shook his head. Before such enormous benefits, that fleeting trace of suspicion seemed insignificant.

"Have the plan ready next time."

"I'm leaving."

This time, Bone Douluo did not linger. He stepped straight into the void and vanished.

The room returned to deathly silence.

Xiao Wu collapsed onto the floor, gasping for breath. Her back was already soaked in cold sweat.

She had survived a disaster.

She had truly survived a disaster.

"G-Get up..."

Xiao Wu trembled as she tried to stand, only to find that her legs were too weak to exert any strength.

Just then.

A cold voice came from above her head.

"Have you had enough fun?"
