Inside the cave at Holy Soul Village.
Ah Yin stared at the question, paying no attention to Old Jack and not caring in the slightest what the final answer might be.
She only saw what the question stated: that Tang San had been hungry and cold since he was a child, and that Tang Hao had completely disregarded whether he lived or died.
Seeing this, Ah Yin was instantly unable to comprehend it:
"What?"
"After San'er was born, Hao-ge actually didn't care if he lived or died?"
"This, how is this possible! This is the child I bore with Hao-ge! Why would it be like this?"
"Hao-ge, where are you? How could you do this? When I sacrificed myself for you, I only wanted you to live well and take care of our child."
"Yet for these past six years, you have planted me in this dark, sunless place, and you haven't even taken care of our child."
"Do you? In your heart, do you still have me, or our child..."
"Or is it that as long as you obtained my spirit ring, that was enough for you?"
"Hao-ge..."
Ah Yin could hardly imagine that after her death, her own son had lived such a miserable life, having to be looked after by some Old Jack.
With Tang Hao ignoring him completely, was he even fit to be a father?
Coupled with the fact that Tang Hao hadn't come to see her in these six years, Ah Yin immediately began to harbor doubts, doubting this so-called love...
She had no interest in choosing an answer anymore; she picked one at random and sank into deep agony.
Holy Soul Village.
Old Jack looked at the question, his eyes shining:
"Oh?"
"When San'er makes it big in the future, what kind of reward will he give me?"
"Hahaha, he really is Grandpa's good boy. I didn't waste my affection on this child, San'er."
"I'll definitely choose C. San'er is so kind-hearted, he won't be lacking in anything. Even though I don't need anything, he will definitely be thinking of me!"
Beneath the Life Lake.
Di Tian looked at the new question, stroking his chin in thought, and asked mildly:
"What do you all think we should choose?"
King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bi Ji, and Xiong Jun did not respond immediately, instead continuing to rack their brains.
Di Tian urged them: "How can you not even figure this out?"
"King of Ten Thousand Demons, you are usually the most cunning, you tell me!"
"What do you think this Tang San will reward that Old Jack with?"
"Is it resources or status? Or both?"
Upon hearing this, King of Ten Thousand Demons chuckled and could only reply:
"Beast God, since you asked me, I will speak plainly. I believe this Tang San will likely not reward him with anything at all!"
"Oh? Why?" Di Tian asked.
King of Ten Thousand Demons explained: "The Beast God says I am cunning, and it is true, my intelligence is a bit higher."
"But in reality, the truly cunning ones are those humans."
"Every single human is treacherous and gloomy, countless times more terrifying than us soul beasts. Humans are selfish and self-interested; how could they be like us soul beasts, helping and supporting one another?"
"Furthermore, it was mentioned earlier that Tang San's cultivation techniques were all stolen. Can a human like that go and reward his own benefactor?"
"In my view, Tang San must be a petty person who will reward nothing!"
Once these words were spoken, the other fierce beasts all felt there was some truth to it.
However, only Bi Ji, being kind-hearted, murmured: "But this Old Jack is, after all, Tang San's benefactor. Will he really not reward him at all?"
King of Ten Thousand Demons replied: "Then Bi Ji, you can choose something else. I choose D; I simply do not trust humans!"
Di Tian nodded and said: "King of Ten Thousand Demons makes sense. Humans are treacherous, cunning, selfish, and self-interested."
"Choose D!"
There was no other way; the remaining fierce beasts followed suit and chose D. Even the Silver Dragon King, hidden in the darkness, thought for a moment before choosing D as well...
As time passed, the others also made their choices, most of them choosing C.
After all, returning kindness for kindness is the mindset of a normal person. Even at the very worst, one wouldn't go so far as to offer no reward at all. Hardly anyone would choose D!
Martial Soul Hall.
Hu Liena kept her eyes fixed on Song Ye, unable to stop herself from asking again:
"Song Ye, what are you choosing this time?"
She always felt that Song Ye seemed to have a sharper mind, having answered correctly twice in a row.
However, why would Song Ye tell her?
Song Ye responded with disdain: "What else could I choose?"
"My choice is about the same as yours!"
"Really?" Hu Liena asked suspiciously.
Song Ye nodded: "Rest assured, just go ahead and choose; I guarantee it'll be similar to yours."
"Fine, if you dare to lie to me, I'll kick you out of the Martial Soul Hall team!" Hu Liena said with a casual, feigned threat, then selected option C.
Xie Yue and the others were the same, all choosing C.
Only Song Ye secretly chose D, which of course meant returning nothing!
Soon, all participating members finished their selections, and the answer was revealed!
On the light screen.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the content appeared!
[Correct Answer: D!]
[After Tang San became successful, he returned nothing to Old Jack, and even ignored whether Old Jack lived or died!]
[List of Winners: Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, Xiong Jun, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bi Ji, Chi Wang, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Song Ye!]
[Reward Received: Soul Power Level increased by 1!]
Once this answer and the list of winners were revealed, it completely fried everyone's brains.
Wait, Tang San returned nothing to Old Jack?
Such a great benefactor who practically saved his life when he was a child, yet he returned nothing, and didn't even care if he lived or died?
Damn!
In an instant, countless people who knew Tang San felt nothing but endless rage in their hearts:
"Damn it! Tang San, I trusted your character so much, and this is how you repay me—by being ungrateful?!"
"I finally let my emotions get involved, only to lose so thoroughly!"
In a flash, as soon as the answer was out, everyone on the arena stage stared daggers at Tang San.
Whispers and curses even began to spread behind his back:
"Damn! What is this? I thought Tang San was such a good person, but he doesn't even care about his own benefactor?"
"If I had known, I would have chosen D! I'm supposed to be Tang San's competitor; I shouldn't have trusted his character!"
"I never saw it before, but Tang San is actually this disgusting. Old Jack was so good to him, and he didn't get anything back?"
"Damn it! I actually had a bit of a good impression of Tang San before, but now it seems I was blind!"
Voices of complaint filled the entire arena; every academy team member felt nothing but contempt for Tang San.
Tang San also began to feel a bit afraid; no, he didn't know it would turn out like this!
Even Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang San with a look of extreme doubt, saying with a tone of disappointment:
"San, I never expected the answer to be like this."
"I don't know Old Jack, but the light screen says he was extremely good to you from childhood, and if not for him, you might not have even survived!"
"Facing such a crucial benefactor, you actually returned nothing!"
"This is your life-saving benefactor, the only elder you could rely on in your early days, and you treated him like this!"
"I am now very suspicious that as your teacher, I might end up with nothing left in the future!"
"San, do you really want to let your teacher and everyone else down like this?!"
