Tang San: Grandiose and Shameless!

Tang San shook his head, a look of absolute confidence appearing on his face.

"No rush."

"I will go and claim that opportunity only after the Heavenly Dao rewards descend."

"As for Dugu Bo... I will naturally find a suitable immortal herb to compensate him, enough to make him grateful to me."

"..."

Hearing these words, the others nodded in agreement one after another.

"Third Brother is truly generous and righteous!"

"Exactly! If it weren't for Third Brother, that old monster Dugu Bo would have died from his poison long ago; how could he still be here today?"

"A mere Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in exchange for his own life—he made a huge profit!"

In their hearts, that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was already Tang San's property.

Just then, the images on the Heavenly Vault Golden List shifted once more.

Streaks of light flashed by, clearly presenting the scene from back then when Tang San entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

In the image, he appraised each immortal herb as if they were his own family treasures, picking them one by one.

Immediately after, the scene changed.

The Shrek Seven Devils, along with Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others, consumed the immortal herbs one after another.

Brilliant light erupted from everyone's bodies; their Martial Souls evolved, and their soul power soared!

On the Golden List, a line of striking large characters emerged.

[The Shrek group, aided by immortal herbs, underwent a rebirth, leaping from first-class geniuses to become the top prodigies of the continent!]

At this moment, the barrage of comments boiled over again!

[Holy crap! So that's how it is! No wonder their cultivation speed was like riding a rocket!]

[I'm green with envy! One immortal herb saves ten years of hard work! This is practically cheating!]

[Looking at it now, the talent of the Shrek Seven Devils is just so-so. Without these immortal herbs, they probably couldn't even beat the Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall!]

[The truth is out! So-called geniuses are just piled up with resources!]

Inside the coalition camp.

Seeing the text on the Golden List and the scrolling barrage below, the expressions of the Shrek group turned incredibly ugly in an instant.

Especially Dai Mubai and Zhuqing, who had always prided themselves on their own talent.

But now, the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking had exposed their greatest "secret" in front of the entire continent.

It was like a loud slap across their faces, stinging with heat.

So, in the eyes of the world, were their achievements all obtained through immortal herbs?

Then what did their years of bitter cultivation count for?

The atmosphere in the tent became somewhat stifling for a moment.

Tang San sensed the shift in everyone's emotions and immediately spoke up to comfort them:

"Everyone, do not take it to heart."

"Opportunity is, after all, a part of strength."

"Those people are merely envious and jealous. A bunch of mortals who have never even seen an immortal herb—what right do they have to judge us?"

His words made everyone's expressions look a little better.

That's right.

So what if we rose to power because of immortal herbs?

You lot can't even touch the edge of one!

However, the images on the Golden List did not stop there.

The scene shifted, and it showed that after taking all the immortal herbs, Tang San was still not satisfied.

He took out jade boxes one by one and packed away the soil and spring water surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which contained immense energy, leaving absolutely nothing behind!

The entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been scavenged clean by him, as if a swarm of locusts had passed through, leaving only two bare, empty springs.

At this, the barrage of comments completely exploded.

[I have never seen such a shameless person! Taking the immortal herbs is one thing, but not even sparing the dirt and water?]

[This is plucking the feathers off a goose as it flies by! If Dugu Bo saw this, he would probably be so angry he'd drop dead on the spot!]

[Tang San, aren't you being a bit too excessive?!]

Watching these comments, Tang San's expression turned gloomy in an instant.

He let out a cold snort, addressing the air as much as the people beside him:

"If not for me, Dugu Bo would have died long ago. Everything he possesses should have been my reward from the start!"

"What do these mortals know? A bunch of fools who don't know life from death. Once I annihilate Martial Soul Hall, I will make sure you all learn the consequences of gossiping about me!"

His voice carried a bone-chilling intent to kill.

Heaven Dou City, Poison Douluo's residence.

"Grandfather..."

Dugu Yan looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well on the Golden Ranking, now completely emptied, and then at Dugu Bo, whose face was livid beside her. She asked cautiously:

"Is... is this true? Did Tang San really... strip the place bare?"

Dugu Bo did not speak, but his emerald eyes flickered with a complex light.

To say he wasn't angry would be a lie.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was the home he had guarded his entire life. Now that it had been exposed to the entire world that he had been cleaned out, where was he supposed to put his face?

Especially after learning that Tang San was a transmigrator, the thorn in his heart pierced even deeper.

Every member of Shrek had received Immortal Herbs, yet he, the owner, had received nothing.

What kind of logic was this?

But...

Thinking of how Tang San had indeed cured the deadly poison in both him and his granddaughter, saving their lives, the resentment in Dugu Bo's heart was forcibly suppressed once more.

"Sigh..."

In the end, all his words dissolved into a single, helpless sigh.

Shrek Camp.

The group had no objections whatsoever to Tang San's act of emptying the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Oscar said matter-of-factly: "Third Brother saved the old poison-master's life; this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well should rightfully belong to Third Brother!"

"Exactly!"

Ma Hongjun chimed in, "The grace of saving a life is greater than the heavens! Forget one Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—even if he wanted Dugu Bo's life, he wouldn't dare say a single word of protest!"

Hearing their words, a look of arrogance appeared on Tang San's face.

Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, had eyes full of greed.

He adjusted his glasses and said to Tang San: "Little San, the previous Immortal Herbs no longer have much effect on me."

"Now that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has made the list, the Immortal Herbs rewarded by the Heavenly Dao will surely be of an even higher grade!"

"Perhaps this time, it will allow me to finally break through the restriction that has kept my soul power from advancing!"

Tang San nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He had always seen his teacher's suffering.

If he could help his teacher break through his shackles, never mind one Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—even if he needed ten, he, Tang San, would provide them!

Yu Xiaogang continued: "There is no time to lose, Little San. You should set off for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well immediately and wait there for the Heavenly Dao reward to descend, lest complications arise!"

"Very well!"

Tang San agreed immediately; in his heart, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was already his private property.

Just then, Ning Rongrong spoke up weakly from the side:

"But... Third Brother, what if Senior Dugu Bo is unwilling?"

"After all, this reward is no small matter, he..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Dai Mubai.

"He wouldn't dare!" Dai Mubai snorted coldly. "His life was given to him by Third Brother; does he dare to be unwilling?"

"Exactly, even if you gave him a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare!"
