Tang San's True Face Exposed?! Scheming for Xiao Wu's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone!

The introduction on the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking was concise, yet it shook the entire continent to its core.

In an instant, countless barrages representing the collective thoughts of the world streaked across the firmament.

[My god! As expected of a symbol of pure love, the conditions for picking it are simply terrifying!]

[You have to risk your life just to pick a flower? That's too much trouble! Does this even deserve the ninth spot?]

[What would the person above know! This isn't testing strength, it's testing sincerity! It's priceless! Whoever can pluck this flower must have a love that moves the heavens and the earth!]

The Allied Forces camp.

Inside the central command tent, the subtle atmosphere previously caused by Ma Hongjun's words was instantly swept away by the developments of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking.

When they saw the words clearly displayed on the ranking, everyone was stunned.

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red!"

Dai Mubai was the first to shout, followed by wild ecstasy.

"It's us! It's our item again! Hahahaha, we Shrek are truly destined by heaven!"

"What is Martial Soul Hall? Even the Heavenly Dao stands on our side!" Ma Hongjun was also full of excitement.

Tang San's face, which had been gloomy a moment ago due to the failure of the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, was now swept clean, replaced by surprise and agitation.

It is Xiao Wu's Lovesick Heartbreak Red!

As the thought flashed through his mind, another idea that excited him even more surged forth.

Xiao Wu is mine, so her things are naturally mine as well!

The reward from this Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking will undoubtedly be mine!

Listening to the flattery of the crowd and the sighs of Dugu Bo, Tang San's lips curled up involuntarily, his heart filled with arrogance.

If not for my discerning eye discovering such a treasure land, these immortal herbs would have long since gathered dust.

All of this is my credit!

Just as everyone was in a state of excitement, the image on the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking shifted once more.

The scene displayed was none other than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The figures of the Shrek women appeared one by one, attempting to pick the beautiful little white flower, yet all returned empty-handed.

Finally, the image froze on Xiao Wu.

She was seen with her eyes tightly shut, the image of Tang San appearing in her mind; that love, devoid of any impurities, was pure and scorching.

She let her blood drip down.

The next moment, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red trembled gently, actually detaching itself from the stem and drifting into her palm.

After leaving the plant, the flower did not wither; instead, it bloomed with a soft white light as if it had gained life, its fragrance overflowing and refreshing the heart.

[Lovesick Heartbreak Red has three effects.]

[First: Consuming it grants the power of immortality alongside heaven and earth, significantly extending one's lifespan.]

[Second: Consuming it provides a fundamental increase in soul power, surging by at least ten levels without any side effects.]

[Third: It can perfectly conceal the aura of a soul beast; even a god would find it difficult to discern its true form.]

The text on the Gold Ranking was like bolts of thunder, exploding in the minds of everyone on the continent!

The barrages in the sky exploded instantly!

[Holy crap! Heaven-defying! These effects are too heaven-defying! Extending lifespan and surging ten levels of soul power?]

[Even gods can't distinguish a soul beast's true form? This is simply a life-saving artifact tailor-made for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!]

[If the ninth place is this terrifying, what kind of spectacle will the treasures ahead be?]

[...]

Inside the tent, the Shrek group was already in a complete frenzy.

"Xiao Wu, your love for Third Brother is truly so great!"

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes shimmered with brilliance as she sighed in genuine admiration.

"Indeed, indeed! Only a man as affectionate as Third Brother could find such a fitting immortal herb for Xiao Wu!"

Oscar chimed in as well.

Xiao Wu was moved beyond measure, her large, watery eyes gazing at Tang San, filled with love and adoration.

Her delicate body, transformed from a Soft Bone Rabbit, trembled slightly, her exquisite curves rising and falling under the wrap of her tight-fitting clothes.

Her jade feet, encased in pink crystal shoes, subconsciously pressed together, her long, straight, beautiful legs exuding astonishing elasticity and aesthetic appeal.

Tang San enjoyed the adulation of the crowd and Xiao Wu's loving gaze, the self-satisfaction and arrogance in his heart swelling to the extreme.

He stepped forward, gently pulling Xiao Wu into his embrace, and looked up at the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking, his eyes burning with intensity.

Everything is within my grasp!

So what if it is Martial Soul Hall? So what if it is that mysterious powerhouse?

I, Tang San, am the true protagonist of this world!

He was filled with anticipation, wondering what generous rewards the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking would bestow this time.

Yet, for some reason, a faint sense of unease lingered in the deepest recesses of his heart.

That tranquil courtyard and those few Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus flowers that had silently dissipated haunted him like a nightmare.

No!

Tang San shook his head violently, casting these distracting thoughts from his mind.

It must be an illusion!

I am burdened with great destiny; I am the one favored by the heavens!

How could the schemes of Martial Soul Hall possibly shake the magnificent Heavenly Dao!

Above the firmament, the light of the Gold Ranking flowed, and before the excitement and clamor of the crowd could subside, a new scene unfolded.

It was neither a fairyland nor the ruins of a deity, but a scene all too familiar to countless soul masters—the arena of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

In the image, a pink figure moved with agile grace; it was Xiao Wu in her youth.

Her opponents were formidable, yet she always managed to neutralize their offensives and secure victory with techniques that seemed almost instinctive.

She was lively, adorable, and full of youthful spirit; no one could possibly associate her with a ferocious Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

For in her embrace, a small flower lay quietly, emitting a halo that perfectly masked the aura of her soul beast origin.

It was the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

As the image appeared, the barrage on the firmament fell silent for a brief moment.

[Wait a minute! What did I just discover? Tang San knew Xiao Wu was a soul beast all along?]

[Hiss! Now that you mention it, I've realized it too! The third effect of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red is to perfectly conceal a soul beast's aura. Tang San giving this to Xiao Wu clearly shows he knew her true identity!]

[That brings up a question! Since he knew, why let Xiao Wu participate in such a high-profile tournament? Isn't that pushing her into a pit of fire? Martial Soul Hall was watching right there from the sidelines!]

[And isn't this immortal herb meant to be consumed? Eating it grants a ten-level boost in soul power and extends one's lifespan. Why not let Xiao Wu eat it to increase her strength instead of keeping it as a trinket?]

[The more you think, the more terrifying it gets! Could this Tang San have done it on purpose? Using Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast to pull off something big in the finals, all to make a name for himself?]

[Surely not... This is his lover, how could he scheme against her like that?]

In an instant, the sentiment of the barrage shifted sharply, and questions and speculations surged like a tide.

The Allied Forces camp.

Inside the central command tent, the previously heated atmosphere froze instantly.

The smile on Tang San's face stiffened, replaced by a look of leaden gloom.
