As far as Liu Yuan was concerned, many of the things that happened on the Douluo Continent could hardly surprise him anymore.
After all, he was still a transmigrator at heart.
So not only was he fully aware of many things happening on the Douluo Continent now, but he also knew all about many events from the past and those that were yet to come.
But what was happening right now still shocked Liu Yuan.
Because even he had never imagined that Tang San had this side to him!
After Xiao Wu completed her sacrifice and helped Tang San obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone.
Tang San used this new power to defeat all the pursuers from Spirit Hall.
Liu Yuan had thought Tang San would look grief-stricken once the pursuers had left.
After all, though the power was tremendous, Xiao Wu had gained it for him by sacrificing herself.
If Tang San's feelings for Xiao Wu were deep enough,
then no matter how powerful this force was, what he should be feeling now wasn't how strong it was, but how much Xiao Wu had given up for him.
But Tang San wasn't acting that way at all.
After all the pursuers from Spirit Hall had left,
Tang San stood quietly where he was for a while.
Then, at last, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, impossible to suppress.
As soon as it appeared, his smile grew wider and wider, until he could no longer stop himself.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
"It's mine! I've gotten stronger!"
Tang San laughed wildly.
It was true that Xiao Wu had chosen to sacrifice herself for him.
But at that moment, Tang San didn't show even the slightest hint of sadness.
He was far more excited and smug. After all, this power was much more important to him than Xiao Wu.
"This really is a great thing."
"With this power, I can even stand up to a Titled Douluo."
"Good riddance, Xiao Wu."
"I'll take this power."
Tang San vented his feelings with smug delight.
That was right: he did love Xiao Wu.
But what Soul Master could possibly resist the temptation of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone?
What's more, Tang San had already made a name for himself.
Before he became famous, Xiao Wu had indeed been the woman he loved most.
But once he had made a name for himself, little Xiao Wu had become a shackle holding him back.
With conditions like his, was he going to be short on women?
He had been dreaming of this day for a long time!
Tang San laughed with unrestrained satisfaction.
Then he left without lingering there any longer.
He had to return to Shrek Academy and report in.
But at that moment, Tang San wore a grief-stricken expression.
After all, he had gotten what he wanted, but he couldn't openly show how pleased he was.
Tang San cared a great deal about maintaining his public image.
So he would keep acting as devoted as ever.
As for resurrecting Xiao Wu later on Sea God Island, that was purely because he had spotted even greater benefits.
Without the inheritance on Sea God Island and the pressure from Da Ming and Er Ming, he might not have chosen to resurrect Xiao Wu.
Before long, Tang San's figure disappeared completely.
The large area around them fell silent once more.
But Tang San had left, and Liu Yuan hadn't.
His expression was incredibly animated.
He had only happened to pass by and hadn't wanted to get involved, but by some twist of fate, he had witnessed Tang San's true nature.
"This is just too interesting."
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan couldn't help smiling.
Then another idea came to him.
"What would happen if Xiao Wu saw this?"
"Would she get so angry that she'd turn on Tang San on the spot, consumed by rage and wishing she could cut him down?"
"That would be great. Let Tang San and Xiao Wu become enemies."
"Interesting. This is so interesting."
Liu Yuan muttered to himself.
Then he summoned his Martial Soul, the Death God Scythe.
If his real body had been here, Liu Yuan could have used the Death God Scythe's Soul Ring ability to collect Xiao Wu's soul and then resurrect her in a new form.
Unfortunately, only one of his clones was here.
So Liu Yuan had to settle for the next best thing.
He used the Death God Scythe's ability to temporarily collect Xiao Wu's soul. Once he reached the inheritance site and met his real body, he could use his real body's power to resurrect her.
That would surely make for another good show!
"Collect!"
Liu Yuan couldn't help laughing aloud at the thought.
Then, without wasting any time, he collected Xiao Wu's soul on the spot. It was a mass of blue ghostly flames.
Once he had done that, he didn't linger there.
To avoid Tang San doubling back to kill him, he even picked up his pace and hurried back to the Death God Inheritance Site as fast as he could.
Even so, the journey took more than a month. Though he had already traveled some distance earlier, carrying Xiao Wu's soul still took a bit of Liu Yuan's energy.
At last, more than a month later, Liu Yuan's clone returned to the Death God Inheritance Site with Xiao Wu's soul.
By then, Liu Yuan's real body at the Death God Inheritance Site had reached Soul Power Level 70 after spending this time undergoing the inheritance.
He had completed a new round of the inheritance and gained not only a new seven-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, but also a Soul Bone several million years old.
Of course, such things were nothing special to Liu Yuan.
A mere seven-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone several million years old.
When he had first obtained them, he might indeed have found them novel.
But now, he was completely numb to them.
So Liu Yuan didn't get all that excited over these things.
"Come back."
When he saw the clone return, Liu Yuan first recalled it, merging the clone's memories with his own.
Once he had done that, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"So that's how it is. That's Tang San's true nature?"
"My clone was clever enough to bring Xiao Wu's soul back, too."
"Good. Then let's resurrect Xiao Wu."
"After that, she can see for herself what Tang San is really like."
"I'd like to see her expression. I'm sure it'll be quite interesting."
Liu Yuan couldn't help thinking to himself.
Then he wiped the smile from his face and summoned his Martial Soul and Soul Rings.
In an instant, an immense area all around him was enveloped in thick Death Qi!
