"Tang San, someone outside the school asked me to give you this letter."
The gatekeeper came to Dorm Seven with a letter.
Tang San took it, his face full of confusion, and wondered who would write to him.
Could it be Dad?
Still puzzled, he opened the unsigned letter.
[Little darling, have you missed me?]
At the sight of those first few words, Tang San's expression instantly darkened.
His fists clenched before he even realized it.
He gripped the paper so hard that its edges tore.
[Your teacher is in my hands. Come find me at the old place.
If you're late, your teacher might lose his life.
You'd better not try anything clever, or the consequences will be dire.]
After reading the letter, Tang San's expression changed drastically.
That damned Round-faced Bearded Man had actually captured his teacher.
He was practically begging to die!
It seemed it was time to let the people of this world witness the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.
"Rip, rip, rip..."
Tang San silently tore the letter to shreds and threw it into the trash.
Then he went to the bed and opened a bundle.
Although he hadn't yet made any top-tier Hidden Weapons, he had plenty of poison needles, along with a spare Silent Sleeve Arrow.
He had asked his teacher about it.
If a Spirit Master didn't use their Martial Soul or Soul Skills, their physical strength wasn't very great.
Never mind a mere Spirit Saint.
Caught off guard, even a Soul Douluo might not be able to withstand his Hidden Weapons.
However, there was one thing he needed to keep in mind.
The higher a Spirit Master's level, the greater their perception and agility.
His Hidden Weapons could easily be dodged.
He would have only one chance. Without certainty, he couldn't strike lightly.
Tang San hid all sorts of poison needles in every part of his clothes, making sure he could draw them from any position at any time.
Then he glanced at Xiao Wu, sitting cross-legged on the bed and working hard at her cultivation.
"Heh, heh..."
Tang San let out a foolish chuckle, then turned and walked out of Dorm Seven.
Once he was outside the school,
Tang San hurried all the way to the place of nightmares he had only just escaped that morning.
Standing at the hotel entrance,
he looked up. The sign that came into view made his chrysanthemum tighten involuntarily.
Rose Hotel.
It was said to be the largest chain hotel on the Douluo Continent specializing in romantic encounters.
"Huff!"
Tang San took a deep breath, steadied himself, and stepped through the hotel doors.
He made his way upstairs with practiced ease and stopped outside the room from last night.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Without much hesitation, Tang San raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"The door's unlocked. Come on in."
The Round-faced Bearded Man's voice rang out, making Tang San feel sick.
He pushed the door open and entered.
"Teacher!"
The sight inside the room made Tang San cry out in shock.
Yu Xiaogang was hanging stark naked from the ceiling, his entire body covered in bloody welts. There was barely a patch of uninjured skin left.
His breathing was faint, and he hovered between consciousness and unconsciousness.
The Round-faced Bearded Man stood beside him, holding a whip.
At Tang San's shout, Yu Xiaogang's consciousness cleared a little.
He struggled to raise his head and look at Tang San, a faint voice emerging from his mouth.
"X... Xiao San... save... save me..."
"Damn it, what are you trying to do?"
Tang San flew into a rage and glared furiously at the Round-faced Bearded Man.
The Round-faced Bearded Man only smiled faintly.
He pointed at the door behind Tang San. "Close it."
Tang San gritted his teeth and turned to shut the door.
When he turned back, he saw the Round-faced Bearded Man pointing an object at him.
It was none other than the Silent Sleeve Arrow.
He had noticed it was missing when he woke up that morning.
There was no need to guess. The Round-faced Bearded Man had taken it.
The Round-faced Bearded Man looked at him with a beaming smile.
"I took a look at this little gadget today. I have to say, it's quite powerful. At close range, even I would probably take a nasty hit."
Tang San's expression darkened.
The Silent Sleeve Arrow was so simple that anyone could use it as soon as they got their hands on it.
That wasn't the point.
The point was that his opponent was now on guard, making it difficult to catch him by surprise again.
The Round-faced Bearded Man lowered the Sleeve Arrow and aimed it at Yu Xiaogang's head.
His gaze shifted to a certain part of Gangzi as well.
"I have to admit, the bond between you master and disciple is truly enviable."
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Tang San clenched his fists unconsciously, his knuckles cracking under the pressure.
Who the hell wanted to lose his QQ?
It was just that the Hyena had eaten it, and there was nothing he could do!
That bastard really knew how to rub salt in the wound.
Wasn't that just like sprinkling salt on his injury?
He truly deserved to die.
The Round-faced Bearded Man seemed not to notice Tang San's ugly expression.
A faint smile remained on his face.
"Now, take off every last piece of clothing you're wearing."
"Don't leave a single thing on."
If he had a Sleeve Arrow, there might be other little gadgets hidden on him.
The Round-faced Bearded Man didn't dare be careless.
Otherwise, if a dignified Spirit Saint fell at the hands of a little brat,
wouldn't everyone laugh him to death?
"Damn it!"
Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help cursing inwardly.
All his poison needles were hidden in his clothes.
If he took everything off, what could he use to turn the tables?
Wasn't this bastard being far too cautious?
"Smack!"
"Ah!"
Seeing him hesitate, the Round-faced Bearded Man spun around and lashed Yu Xiaogang with the whip. Yu Xiaogang immediately let out a pig-like squeal of pain.
"Damn it, don't touch my teacher!"
Tang San flew into a rage and immediately wanted to rush forward to save his teacher.
"Hmm?"
The Round-faced Bearded Man raised an eyebrow and lifted his left hand in warning.
Tang San's forward charge came to an abrupt halt.
He clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and glared at the Bearded Man with murderous intent.
The Round-faced Bearded Man asked, "Are you taking them off or not?"
Tang San gritted his teeth, tempted to attack right then and there.
But...
He looked at his blood-soaked teacher and ultimately didn't dare take the gamble.
If he lost, his teacher would be dead.
"I'll do it!"
Tang San ground out the words through clenched teeth.
Then he began to take off his clothes, moving slowly.
As he undressed, he kept looking for an opportunity.
Unfortunately,
his opponent was as steady as an old dog and gave him no chance at all.
Not until he had shed his final layer.
"Turn around once."
The Round-faced Bearded Man still didn't let his guard down and ordered him to turn around on the spot.
Tang San could only obey.
"Throw everything over here."
As he spoke, the Round-faced Bearded Man ducked behind Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San was deeply frustrated.
He could only pick up the clothes on the floor and throw them in front of him.
The Round-faced Bearded Man swept all the clothes into his Storage Soul Tool.
Now, Tang San was truly out of options.
The Round-faced Bearded Man stepped out from behind Yu Xiaogang and looked at Tang San with a beaming smile.
"Now, come here and squat down."
At those words, Tang San's pupils widened, his face full of disbelief.
Some scenes from last night involuntarily resurfaced deep in his memories.
