Tang San's Thick Skin, and Dugu Bo After His Immortal Herbs Were Taken

What left Xiao Yan most speechless was that line: "Do you know who Tang San's father is?"

This was actually the only help Grandmaster could offer when Tang San was in danger—

Invoking the other party's family background!

Yet whenever he faced a crisis, Yao Lao would personally appear:

"A mere Dou Zong dares bully my disciple?"

Xiao Yan still remembered that moment of Yao Lao standing up for him.

How fortunate he was to have Yao Lao as his master rather than Grandmaster!

Douluo Continent—

As the saying went, without comparison, one would never know the gap.

Grandmaster's words and actions in the footage were worlds apart from his grand reputation.

There had once even been a saying:

"Whoever gains Grandmaster gains the world."

But now...

Heh, gain the world? By relying on outside help?

The footage did not reveal even the slightest hint of Grandmaster possessing extraordinary wisdom.

Instead, he appeared clumsy and passive at every turn!

Had Tang San not arrived in time to negotiate,

The three people present then, Tang San included, likely would all have died.

This was the so-called greatest sage in the world?

It truly made one's teeth ache with disgust.

Not only was his strength far inferior to Yao Lao's, the people of Douluo now understood more clearly—

Even in terms of strategy, Grandmaster was utterly unfit to be mentioned in the same breath as Yao Lao.

This was the master of the Child of Destiny in their world...

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's face had already turned completely red.

Only after seeing Dugu Bo's true thoughts at the time through the footage

Did he realize just how absurd and laughable his actions had been—

He had nearly dragged Tang San to his death with him!

What he found even harder to accept was this:

He had thought that raising a godly disciple had long since proven his ability.

Who could have expected the footage to expose everything, completely tearing off the mask of the theoretical Grandmaster?

He had taught a god?

Heh, what exactly had he taught? How to run while carrying weights?

Although he had always believed that his knowledge had been crucial to Tang San's growth,

In reality, what Tang San truly relied on

Was more often the Tang Sect's supreme arts from his memories of a past life...

The theories Grandmaster had personally taught him had scarcely ever been useful at all.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it on the spot!

Seeing his reaction, Tang San could only force himself to offer a few words of comfort.

To be fair, Tang San had originally believed that Grandmaster's kindness toward him was as deep as a mountain.

But now, looking back from an observer's perspective,

Grandmaster's help had truly been pitifully limited.

At the very least, compared to Yao Lao, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Tang San had even helped his master break through the level-thirty bottleneck he had failed to overcome his entire life—

He could not help sighing inwardly:

I truly value loyalty and affection too much. I also know far too well how to repay kindness!

[After Tang San persuaded him, Dugu Bo ultimately spared Grandmaster and the other two. They narrowly escaped with their lives.

[After the three left, Tang San remained at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to undergo Dugu Bo's test and prepare an antidote for him.

[Having passed the test, he worked on a detoxification plan while beginning to forge Tang Sect hidden weapons.

[In the end, he successfully created the Tang Sect's third-ranked hidden weapon, the "Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Yama Post,"

[As well as deadly weapons such as the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Gall.

[After the poison was cured, Dugu Bo allowed Tang San to pick whatever Immortal Herbs he needed,

[And even gave him the divine artifact known as the "Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch," which could store living things.

[With it, even rare Immortal Herbs could retain their vitality within.

[Who would have thought that after Tang San left, Dugu Bo would return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well out of reluctance, hoping to clear his mind,

[Only to find that the once-vibrant treasure ground had become utterly barren!

[All the Immortal Herbs and spiritual medicines had been swept away, leaving behind only a few roots and remnants of seeds—

[Tang San had truly left not even a blade of grass behind!

[Yet Tang San felt not the slightest bit ashamed—after all, Dugu Bo had personally permitted him to take whatever he needed.

Everyone across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds was left speechless:

The thickness of this Child of Destiny's skin truly exceeded imagination!

What Dugu Bo had agreed to was, "Take the Immortal Herbs you need."

How had that become "Empty out the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well" when it came to Tang San?

One should at least show some restraint!

Although Dugu Bo had once harbored murderous intent, he had never truly harmed Tang San in the slightest.

On the contrary, Tang San had benefited greatly from him:

Not only had Dugu Bo tacitly allowed him to pick Immortal Herbs,

He had even given him the Hundred Treasure Pouch, capable of nourishing living things.

Yet Tang San had directly emptied the man's entire base!

What the hell!

It was like asking a friend before parting, "Can I take a few souvenirs?"

The friend readily agreed and thoughtfully even handed over a sack.

A normal person would only pick one or two items as keepsakes,

But this Child of Destiny—

He directly moved out his friend's entire house!

When the friend returned, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which could not be moved, remained as it had been.

But anything that could be carried away had long since vanished without even a blade of grass left behind!

What the hell, if they met again, wouldn't that friend fight him to the death?

Thus, everyone across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds saw another trait of Tang San's—his extreme greed!

He had left behind a few roots

Not out of mercy, but because he knew they grew better in that place.

If they could have been transplanted, he would have moved the entire herb garden back to his own home long ago!

In other words, if the Immortal Herbs grew back while he remained in this world,

He would definitely return to harvest them all over again!

What a fine "Dugu Bo-brand chive"—cut one crop, then wait for the next!

Of course, these Immortal Herbs were of little use to Dugu Bo in the first place—

After all, only Tang San understood their medicinal properties.

Therefore, Tang San taking them away caused limited actual loss.

Only on a moral level did it seem somewhat disgraceful.

—That was, provided the Heavens and Myriad Worlds had not seen what happened afterward...

[After looting the Immortal Herbs, Tang San returned to Shrek Academy. Half a year had passed by the time he reunited with his companions.

[Xiao Wu had missed him deeply and spent every day eagerly waiting for his return.

[Over those six months, everyone's Soul Power had improved, though their progress was still slow compared to Tang San's.

[Fortunately, Tang San had prepared corresponding Immortal Herbs for each of them.

[After consuming them, everyone's Soul Power soared dramatically.

[Grandmaster even used this opportunity to break through the level-thirty bottleneck he had failed to overcome for thirty years!

[Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda actually evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!

[In her wild joy, she could not help kissing Tang San on the cheek, leaving Xiao Wu and Oscar stunned on the spot.

[Although Ning Rongrong later explained the significance of the evolution, Xiao Wu still felt troubled, while Oscar quietly grew melancholy.

[But what was done was done. There was no point dwelling on it.

[Through this opportunity, the Shrek Seven Devils' strength leaped forward, and all of them approached the level-forty threshold.

[Dai Mubai was the first to break through level forty.

Seeing this, everyone across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds could not help feeling sorry for Dugu Bo—

Tang San had carefully selected Immortal Herbs for his companions, and even Grandmaster benefited from them.

Yet he had never left a single one for Dugu Bo.

They truly found it difficult to believe

That among such a vast Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, there had not been a single Immortal Herb suitable for Dugu Bo.

This sort of "friendship between generations"

Was far too ironic!

Although Dugu Bo had once harbored murderous intent, it was understandable for Tang San to hold something back.

The Heavens and Myriad Worlds could still understand such caution.

But since he had already emptied the herb garden, why keep flaunting some profound friendship?

Before leaving, he had even exchanged his unique hidden weapons for the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch.

On the surface, they seemed as close as could be,

But in his heart, Tang San had always built a high wall.

Such hypocrisy truly made people feel repulsed.

[The Shrek Seven Devils, whose strength had skyrocketed after consuming Immortal Herbs, swept through the Spirit Fighting Arena with unstoppable momentum!

[They later entered the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament and, after bitter battles, finally claimed the championship!
