At this moment, within soul master sects such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Elephant Armor Sect.

When they saw Tang San's confession on the Sky Screen, Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao, Huyan Zhen, and the other high-ranking figures of the various sects could not help frowning deeply. They all thought the same thing: What a white-eyed wolf!

On the Douluo Continent, although sects existed, they were usually built around the most central soul master clans.

Moreover, a sect's inherited soul skills were generally passed only to members of the core direct-line clan. This was an unspoken rule.

For example, the Clear Sky Sect would never teach the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer or the Great Sumeru Hammer to the Four Great Clans.

Even if they were related by marriage, like the Speed Clan!

Yet in the Sky Screen's video, Tang San was an orphan adopted from outside by the Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect had raised Tang San.

With such a debt of upbringing, Tang San had not only failed to think of repaying them, but had instead coveted the supreme secret techniques of the Inner Sect.

His character was simply vile and despicable. He was the very definition of ingratitude!

No! Damn it! How could you expose everything I merely said in my heart?!

Damn Comparison Sky Screen! You have defiled the pure reputation of Young Master Tang San! I will kill you!

You have already earned a death sentence, ahhh!

Within Shrek Academy.

When he saw that the Sky Screen had even played the thoughts he had once kept in his heart, Tang San immediately lost his composure and trembled with rage.

His eyes nearly burst from their sockets. Breathing heavily, he clenched his fists and roared madly in his heart.

[After unremitting effort, Tang San had spent every day carefully timing his movements. He had finally drawn a map of the route to steal the Tang Sect's supreme secret technique, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and made all the necessary preparations.]

[Seizing an opportunity, Tang San infiltrated the Library Pavilion and stole the manual containing the Tang Sect's supreme secret techniques.]

[Afterward, Tang San eagerly learned everything recorded in the Tang Sect's supreme secret technique, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. This included the Mysterious Heaven Skill, as well as his own Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Jade Hand, along with the Hundred Hidden Weapon Manual and other secret techniques.]

[Later, to prove himself, Tang San began working hard to forge the various hidden weapons recorded in the Hundred Hidden Weapon Manual.]

[Tang San's goal was to recreate the peerless hidden weapon that had been lost by the Tang Sect for many years—the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus.]

At this time, within Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the others had basically confirmed in silence that the Tang San in the Sky Screen was very likely the Tang San beside them.

As for the reason, it was because in the Comparison Video on the Sky Screen.

The hidden weapons Tang San forged, as well as the Tang Sect secret techniques he displayed during his practice, such as Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eye.

However, no one asked Tang San what was going on just yet.

Tang San was clenching his fists and glaring at the Sky Screen in the sky, his eyes already bloodshot as he breathed heavily.

He was clearly not very happy!

Still, they understood why.

No matter how grandly the Tang San in the Sky Screen phrased it, he could not conceal the fact that he was ungrateful. He had failed to repay the Tang Sect for saving and raising him, and had instead coveted the supreme secret techniques inherited by the Tang Sect's core clan.

For a moment, Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai could not help casting strange looks at Tang San.

[After many years of effort, because his status as an Outer Sect Disciple restricted him to using relatively inferior materials, Tang San finally used those inferior materials to create an inferior version of the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus.]

[However, at this time, the matter of Tang San stealing the Tang Sect's supreme secret techniques finally came to light.]

[The Law Enforcement Group, formed by the Tang Sect Master and many elders, directly closed in on Tang San's residence, intending to arrest him and bring him to justice.]

[But Tang San did not surrender meekly. Instead, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and ran, weaving through the dense mountain forests in an attempt to escape.]

[Unfortunately, under the pursuit of the Tang Sect Master and the many elders, Tang San still failed to get away and was driven into a dead end.]

[It was a mountain cliff surrounded on all sides by sheer precipices, towering ten thousand ren high and essentially impossible to escape from. It was called Ghost Sorrow!]

[Realizing that he could not escape, Tang San seemed to make a decision. He turned to face the Tang Sect Master and the many elders. His expression was calm, even somewhat tragic, as though he did not believe he had done anything wrong. Resolutely, he said:]

["I know that sneaking into the Inner Sect and stealing our sect's supreme secret techniques is a capital crime, one forbidden by the sect rules. But Tang San can swear that I have never leaked even the slightest bit of the secret techniques I learned to outsiders."]

["I am saying this not because I hope to receive the elders' forgiveness. I only wish to tell all of you elders that Tang San has never forgotten his roots!"]

[Tang San looked as though he had been misunderstood. He spoke with intense emotion, and his eyes were slightly moist.]

["Tang San's life and everything he possesses were given to him by the Tang Sect. Tang San knows that the elders will never allow an Outer Sect Disciple who committed a capital crime to leave his corpse within the Tang Sect."]

["These are the three Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses I created. Consider them Tang San's repayment for the Tang Sect's kindness in raising me."]

["Then let my bones be buried beneath the heavens and earth of Bashu!"]

[After saying this, Tang San threw down the three golden Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses, turned around, strode toward the cliff at Ghost Sorrow, and leaped off.]

[Behind him, the Tang Sect Master and the many elders quickly rushed over.]

[When he saw the three Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses Tang San had left behind, the Tang Sect Master excitedly picked them up. His eyes grew moist, as if he could not believe it. "Tang San! Tang San! Why did you jump off the cliff? I never imagined you possessed such talent. How could our Tang Sect Inner Sect possibly refuse to accept you?!"]

[The Second Elder sneered disdainfully from the side. "Big Brother, why grieve over a traitor?"]

[Hearing this, the Tang Sect Master grew angry and demanded furiously, "A traitor? Have you ever seen a traitor refuse to flee after obtaining our sect's manuals? Have you ever seen a traitor prove his resolve through death? Have you ever seen someone possess a peerless hidden weapon capable of destroying the Tang Sect yet refuse to use it, instead offering it as a gift in repayment to the Tang Sect?"]

["Tang San is no traitor. He is the most outstanding genius our sect has produced in nearly two hundred years!"]

Within Shrek Academy.

When Tang San saw that the Tang Sect Master had actually defended him after he jumped off the cliff to his death, his anger quickly faded. A trace of smugness appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth rose like a Gatling gun that could no longer be suppressed.

My contingency plan, which I had been forced to use, actually worked?!

My reputation for purity has been preserved!

Look carefully, all of you!

I, Tang San, am not a traitor but a genius!!

Tang San proudly and smugly puffed out his chest.

Unfortunately, the Sky Screen's broadcast had not ended yet.

[Hearing the Tang Sect Master's words, the Second Elder was disdainful and mocking. Although he did not contradict him openly, he sneered endlessly in his heart:]

["That Tang Da is truly sick in the head! Over the past few decades, our Tang Sect went from being prominent in Shuzhong to its current decline. It was all because you lacked the ability to lead us!"]

["You actually want to whitewash a traitor? How laughable!"]

["That Tang San is merely an Outer Sect Disciple. What qualifications does he have to create a genuine Buddha Fury Tang Lotus?"]

["This is nothing more than an inferior Buddha Fury Tang Lotus made with ordinary materials. I could make one just as well. This kind of Buddha Fury Tang Lotus cannot even break through my protective internal force!"]

["As for why he did not flee after stealing our sect's manuals, and why he proved his resolve through death, it is because he was an Outer Sect Disciple who had never left the Tang Sect since childhood. How could he dare to flee recklessly?"]

["And proving his resolve through death is even more of a joke! If he had truly been sincere in admitting his mistake, why did he not surrender at the start? Why wait until we had driven him into this dead end at Ghost Sorrow?"]

["It is obvious that he realized he could not escape and did not want his name ruined after death, becoming known as a traitor. He had no choice but to leave behind three inferior Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses and say all that. And you actually believed him!"]

["But it does not matter. Once you return and proclaim this traitor the pride of the Tang Sect, the other Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples will see that even an Outer Sect Disciple who stole our sect's supreme secret techniques received no punishment and was even rewarded."]

["Once these rules are thrown into chaos, the Tang Sect will inevitably fall into disorder because of such a grave mistake on your part. At that time, this elder will lead the other elders in restoring order and depose you from your position as sect master!"]

["The Tang Sect can become great again only under the leadership of me, Second Elder Tang!"]
