Tang San, There Really Is Something Wrong with Your Brain

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly use a pity ploy!"

The conversation between Stelle, Castorice, and Mimi had not been deliberately quiet.

Tang San and the others standing nearby heard every word clearly.

Not only had they claimed he used a pity ploy to deceive Xiao Wu's feelings, they had even mocked him for being dim-witted and less clever than them.

How could Tang San possibly admit to that?

He glared at the three of them with a sinister gaze, a faint vicious aura radiating from his body.

Mimi planted her hands on her hips, looking utterly fearless as she curled her lips.

"What? Were we wrong?"

"You villain, now that someone has caught you red-handed, you're getting angry out of embarrassment and barking like a rabid dog!"

"You're talking nonsense! If I had sacrificed myself in the scene exposed by the Sky Screen, my brother would really have died!"

"My brother would never gamble with his own life like that. You're all spouting nonsense!"

Before Tang San could retort, Xiao Wu clenched her fists and glared determinedly at Mimi, her voice firm and forceful.

Mimi snorted and shot back without any courtesy. "Tang San saw that my companion was weak before, so he wanted to come over and bully her. A person who bullies the weak by relying on his strength..."

"He even likes launching sneak attacks from the shadows, throwing flying knives and using underhanded tricks. How could you possibly know what he is really plotting?"

"He'll probably sell you off, and you'll still be helping him count the money!"

Mimi had previously only been able to make "mimi mimi" noises, and aside from Stelle, no one could understand her.

Now that she could finally speak, she immediately vented all the resentment she had been holding in.

After hearing this, Xiao Wu lightly bit her lip.

When Tang San had gone looking for trouble with Stelle before, she had indeed felt that something was off.

She had even stopped Tang San at the time, refusing to let him provoke her.

But Tang San had insisted on going, even bringing Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun along to teach Stelle a lesson.

Yet in Xiao Wu's eyes, how could such a minor flaw compare to Tang San's greatness in risking his life and offering it up for her before so many powerful people?

Her crimson eyes glared fiercely at Mimi, her tone brimming with protectiveness.

"Hmph! Tang San is my Third Brother!"

"How could the way he treats you possibly be the same as how he treats me?"

"I believe in my Third Brother, just as he swore to me when we were children."

"No matter when it is, he is willing to stand in front of me and block every enemy's attack for me!"

"Only someone like that is worthy of my sacrifice!"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu glanced at Stelle beside her, a trace of disdain at the corner of her lips.

"What we are comparing now is resurrection and sacrifice. My brother can sacrifice himself to save me."

"And to save my Tang San, I am willing to sacrifice everything I have to him."

"I would like to see how that girl named Firefly in the Sky Screen..."

"Died for you."

"Did she, like me, sacrifice every part of her body—even her soul—to you completely and without reservation?"

At that moment, Xiao Wu even felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

No matter how one looked at Firefly in the scene, she did not seem to be a Soul Beast.

But Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, possessing the unique ability to sacrifice herself.

She had given everything she had to Tang San. That was the greatest sacrifice of all!

Stelle clenched her fists, her expression incomparably serious, suppressed anger in her voice.

"Sacrifice and pain were never things to be compared. You can be proud of your own, but you cannot belittle someone else's sacrifice!"

Stelle's sudden seriousness made everyone around her feel a little unaccustomed to it.

Mimi nodded forcefully at Stelle and chimed in.

"My companion is right! Pain and death were never meant to be compared!"

Castorice placed a hand over her chest and looked directly at Xiao Wu, speaking in a low voice.

"Death cannot be compared, but some deaths are worth it, while others are not."

"We pointed out his pity ploy."

"Because in our eyes, your sacrifice and offering were simply not worth it."

"If he truly is a bad person..."

"Then what you are doing is only aiding evil, bringing more wounds and death to this world!"

Mimi nodded her little head wildly and shouted.

"We're trying to help you out of kindness! Not only do you not know gratitude, you're even turning around and accusing us!"

How could Xiao Wu listen to any of that now?

Her crimson eyes were fixed on the two of them. She had long since immersed herself in the beautiful dream of Tang San being willing to sacrifice his life to save her.

Tang San stepped forward, pulled Xiao Wu behind him, and resolutely stood in front of her.

He raised his eyes toward Stelle and the other two, speaking coldly.

"You may be powerful, but as long as I am here, I will never let you hurt Xiao Wu in the slightest!"

"Is that so? But Tang San, it seems you have forgotten something. Should we say you have no brain, or that you did it on purpose?"

Mimi pursed her lips. As if she had suddenly remembered something, she spoke with a teasing expression.

Tang San furrowed his brows, his eyes full of confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"I can already sense that quite a few powerful people are heading this way."

Castorice narrowed her eyes, carefully sensing the auras around them as she spoke gravely.

Mimi hurriedly nodded and added, "That's right!"

"It has been so long since the Sky Screen exposed Xiao Wu as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"Now that the Sky Screen's exposure has ended, you have been confronting us here for so long."

"With so many people coming and going around here, they have probably already spread news that you are here!"

"How many powerful people in Heaven Dou City are coveting the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone on Xiao Wu?"

"Tang San, if you were smart, you should have taken Xiao Wu away from here or found somewhere safe to hide the moment her identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was exposed!"

"And you still aren't running? Could it be that you are deliberately stalling here, trying to create the same events that happened in the Sky Screen?"

As though responding to Mimi's words.

A massive man suddenly leaped down from atop the wall, his body like a moving mountain of flesh.

His skin was dark, his large eyes like bronze bells. His gaze locked tightly onto Xiao Wu, and an expression of immense delight appeared on his face.

"Hahaha! Just as I thought!"

"You are the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast mentioned by the Sky Screen!"

"I truly cannot sense any Soul Beast aura from you."

"But I can be certain that you are her! Come with this old man!"

As he spoke, the massive man erupted with an overwhelmingly powerful force.

Two yellow, two purple, and four black Spirit Rings—eight in total—appeared neatly around him. Their lights flickered as an immense pressure swept across the area.

His body became even larger, his muscles bulging with terrifying power.

A layer of dark yellow keratin emerged across his skin, glinting with a metallic sheen.

His nose stretched and lengthened, his upper lip flipped upward, and two sharp tusks over a foot long grew out, looking savage and terrifying.

Flender, who stood not far from Tang San, saw the man release his Martial Soul and could not help opening his mouth in shock.

"You're Huyan Zhen of the Elephant Armor Sect!"

"Hahaha! A mere Soul Saint thinks he can stop this old man?"

This man was indeed Huyan Zhen of the Elephant Armor Sect.

With the Spirit Master Tournament approaching, the Elephant Armor Sect had also sent a team.

His grandson, Huyan Li, was a junior he valued immensely.

Unfortunately, Huyan Li had failed to make it onto the Genius Ranking.

But Huyan Zhen's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with greed.

He was now an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo.

If he captured Xiao Wu and absorbed her Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, not only could he break through to become a Title Douluo, he could also obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

Just thinking about it was enough to make his entire body tremble with excitement.

Liu Erlong had previously been severely injured by Mimi's Yura Yura Fist.

She was now completely unable to join Flender and Yu Xiaogang in using their three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill to summon the Golden Sacred Dragon.

Cold sweat beaded on Flender's forehead, and his face was deathly pale.

What could they do against Huyan Zhen, an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo?
