Tang San's Gradual Compromise

"Tang San, someone outside the school asked me to give this letter to you."

The gatekeeper brought a letter to Dorm Seven.

Tang San took it with a face full of confusion, wondering who would be writing to him.

Could it be Dad?

With a heart full of doubt, he tore open the unsigned letter.

[Little baby, did you miss me?]

Seeing the words in the first line, Tang San's expression instantly darkened.

His fists clenched involuntarily.

Because he used too much force, the edge of the letter paper was torn directly by his grip.

[Your teacher is in my hands, come find me at our old spot quickly.

If you come late, your teacher won't have his life anymore.

I hope you had better not play any tricks, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.]

After reading the contents of the letter, Tang San's face changed drastically.

That damned round-faced Bearded Man had actually captured his teacher.

He truly had a path to death!

It seemed it was time to let the people of this world witness the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Tang San silently tore the letter into shreds and threw them into the trash can.

Then, he walked to the bedside and opened a bundle.

Although he hadn't manufactured any top-tier hidden weapons yet, he had plenty of poison needles, plus a spare Silent Sleeve Arrow.

He had asked his teacher.

If a Spirit Master did not use their Spirit or Spirit Skills, their physical strength was not high.

Let alone a mere Spirit Saint.

Caught off guard, even a Spirit Douluo might not be able to block his hidden weapons.

However, there was one point that needed attention.

That was, the higher the level of a Spirit Master, the higher their perception and agility.

His hidden weapons could easily be dodged.

There was only one chance; without certainty, he could not strike lightly.

Tang San hid various poison needles all over his body, ensuring he could draw them from any position at any time.

Afterward, he glanced at Xiao Wu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, working hard on her cultivation.

"Hehe..."

Tang San let out a foolish laugh, then turned and walked out of Dorm Seven.

Exiting the academy.

Tang San sped along the way, arriving at the nightmare place he had only just escaped from this morning.

Standing at the hotel entrance.

He looked up, and what met his eyes was the sign that made his sphincter tighten involuntarily.

Rose Hotel.

It was said that this hotel was the largest chain of love hotels on the Douluo Continent.

"Hoo!"

Tang San took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and stepped through the hotel doors.

He went upstairs with familiar ease, arriving outside the room from last night.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Without too much hesitation, Tang San directly raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"The door isn't locked, just come in."

The voice of the round-faced Bearded Man rang out, making Tang San feel a wave of nausea.

He pushed the door open and entered.

"Teacher!"

Seeing the scene inside the room clearly, Tang San couldn't help but cry out in shock.

He saw Yu Xiaogang hanging stark naked from the ceiling of the room, his entire body covered in bloody welts, with almost no intact skin to be found.

His breath was weak, hovering between consciousness and a coma.

The round-faced Bearded Man stood beside him, holding a leather whip.

Hearing Tang San's cry, Yu Xiaogang's consciousness cleared slightly.

He struggled to lift his head to look at Tang San, a barely audible voice escaping his lips.

"Xiao... Xiaosan... save... save me..."

"Damn it, what exactly do you want?"

Tang San was incensed, his heart filled with rage as he glared at the Bearded Man.

The Bearded Man merely offered a faint smile.

He pointed to the door behind Tang San: "Close the door."

Tang San gritted his teeth, turned around, and shut the door.

When he turned back, he saw the Bearded Man holding something up, aiming it right at him.

That object was none other than the Silent Sleeve Arrow.

He had discovered his Silent Sleeve Arrow missing the moment he woke up this morning.

There was no need to guess; it had clearly been taken by the Bearded Man.

The Bearded Man looked at him with a beaming smile.

"I studied this little gadget today. I have to say, its power is truly impressive. At close range, even I would likely suffer a heavy blow."

Tang San's expression sank.

The Silent Sleeve Arrow was simple enough that anyone could use it with ease.

That wasn't the point.

The point was that the opponent was now on guard, making it difficult for him to attempt a sneak attack again.

The Bearded Man shifted the sleeve arrow, aiming it at Yu Xiaogang's head.

His gaze then drifted toward a certain area on Gangzi.

"I have to admit, the bond between you master and disciple is truly enviable."

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Tang San clenched his fists involuntarily, his knuckles popping loudly.

Who the hell would want to lose their "QQ"?

That was just something that couldn't be helped after it was eaten by a hyena!

This bastard, he really knew how to rub salt in a wound.

Wasn't this just pure, unadulterated salt-in-the-wound behavior?

He truly deserved to die.

The Bearded Man seemed not to notice Tang San's ugly expression.

A faint smile remained plastered on his face.

"Now, take off all the clothes on your body. Every single piece."

"Not a single item is allowed to remain."

If the opponent could have a sleeve arrow, he might have other small gadgets hidden on him.

The Bearded Man dared not be careless.

Otherwise, a dignified Soul Saint falling into the hands of a brat—wouldn't he be laughed to death?

Damn it!

Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but curse inwardly.

All his poison needles were hidden in his clothes.

If he stripped down, what would he have left to counterattack?

Was this bastard really that cautious?

"Snap!"

"Ah!"

Seeing him hesitate, the Bearded Man backhanded him with the whip, striking Yu Xiaogang and causing him to let out a pig-like shriek of pain.

"Damn you, don't touch my teacher!"

Tang San was furious and immediately wanted to rush forward to save his teacher.

"Hmm?"

The Bearded Man raised an eyebrow and lifted his left hand as a threat.

Tang San's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot, staring at the Bearded Man with chilling murderous intent.

The round-faced Bearded Man asked, "Are you taking it off or not?"

Tang San gritted his teeth, an urge to strike out directly surging within him.

However...

He looked at his bloodied teacher and, in the end, dared not gamble.

If he lost the gamble, his teacher's life would be forfeit.

"I'll take it off!"

Tang San squeezed the words out through gritted teeth.

Then, he began to undress sluggishly.

Throughout the process of taking off his clothes, he kept searching for an opening.

Unfortunately.

His opponent was as steady as a rock, offering him not the slightest chance.

Until he shed the final restraint on his body.

"Spin around."

The round-faced Bearded Man did not lower his guard in the slightest, demanding he spin in place.

Tang San had no choice but to comply.

"Throw everything over."

As the round-faced Bearded Man spoke, he ducked behind Yu Xiaogang.

Seeing this, Tang San felt utterly helpless.

He could only pick up the clothes from the ground and toss them in front of him.

The round-faced Bearded Man swept the garments into his storage soul tool all at once.

Now, Tang San was truly out of options.

The round-faced Bearded Man stepped out from behind Yu Xiaogang, looking at Tang San with a beaming smile.

"Now, come over here and squat down."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's pupils dilated sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

Certain images from last night involuntarily surged up from the depths of his memory.
