Tang San: Since Three Was Born, Why Was There Tao?

Tang San frowned tightly, an inexplicable sense of unease rising within him.

"I'm laughing at you."

"You stupid, arrogant fool."

Dugu Yan smiled through her tears, looking at Tang San as though he were an idiot.

"Heh."

"You may be skilled at using poison, but when it comes to curing poison, you're truly inferior to me."

Tang San's expression changed before his arrogance returned.

Since childhood, no one had ever dared describe him with the word "stupid."

In his eyes, Dugu Yan had already earned herself a death sentence.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan laughed again.

"In some areas, I really am inferior to you."

"At least, I'm not as stupid as you."

"How did someone as stupid as you get so full of yourself?"

Dugu Yan cut him off, the smile on her face deepening.

Those words had practically stripped Tang San's disguise away completely.

Tang San's face darkened completely.

Just as he was about to retort, suddenly...

"Ah—"

A miserable scream burst from Ma Hongjun's mouth.

It was even more painful and tragic than before.

Ma Hongjun felt as though ten thousand ants were gnawing at the flesh inside his body.

Before, it had merely been a little itchy.

Now, it itched so badly that he wanted to die.

"It itches! It's itching me to death!"

"San! It's useless! This stuff doesn't work at all!"

"My face! My face is still rotting!"

Ma Hongjun howled as he frantically scratched at his face.

His nails scraped over the ulcerated skin, tearing away strips of flesh and blood.

"Impossible!"

"How could realgar wine be useless?"

"Snakes fear realgar wine the most!"

Tang San staggered back three steps, his earlier arrogance vanishing in an instant.

At that moment, he—

He was practically questioning his entire life.

He could not help wondering whether he was an idiot.

Could Dugu Yan have been right? Was he really that stupid?

"Call you an idiot, and you really start huffing and puffing."

"How did you ever come up with the idea that realgar wine could cure snake venom?"

"Snakes may dislike realgar, but that doesn't mean they'll die upon touching it."

"Much less that realgar wine can cure snake venom."

Zhou Tao could not stand watching any longer and directly explained it to this fool.

Zhou Tao's voice carried undisguised mockery.

Tang San was struck as if by lightning.

His entire body froze in place, even the expression on his face stiffening.

Was that really true?

Had he been wrong?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Tang San believed he knew poison very well.

After all.

He came from the Tang Sect.

For now, setting aside the fact that he was a thief who had stolen the Tang Sect's secret arts.

He had stolen something, yet even made up some righteous slogan about proving his resolve by jumping off a cliff.

But because he had stolen those things, he only understood many of them halfway.

He had mistakenly taken realgar's ability to repel snakes as proof that realgar could cure snake venom.

Realgar had no detoxifying effect whatsoever against snake venom.

At this moment, Tang San's mind seemed like a tangled mess, utterly unable to function.

The poison knowledge he had been so proud of, the supreme Tang Sect arts he had relied on to survive, were actually useless?

In his previous life, he had stolen from the Tang Sect from the age of eight until he was twenty-five before obtaining those supreme arts.

And now Tang San discovered that the things he had spent a life stealing were actually fake?

Who could endure that?

So Tang San had lived his previous life for nothing?

He had completely become a joke?

"How is that possible?"

"Impossible!"

Tang San's pupils lost focus, and he looked as though his soul had left his body.

He stood where he was, endlessly repeating those words.

As if he had become a broken record.

At this moment, his expression was incomparably grim.

Ever since becoming a Soul Master, everything he did had gone incomparably smoothly.

It was as though the gods themselves were helping him!

It could practically be described as getting whatever he wished for.

So long as he did not encounter Zhou Tao!

Whenever he ran into Zhou Tao, Tang San's smooth sailing vanished.

As if

Zhou Tao was the true child of fortune.

Moreover, every time he encountered Zhou Tao, Tang San would be bullied terribly.

Those close to him would also be bullied terribly.

It was simply...

Why must Zhou Tao exist when Tang San already did!

At that thought, Tang San's heart filled with resentment.

Since he could not surpass him, then he would destroy him.

If poison did not work, would hidden weapons not work either?

Zhou Tao had actually dared to expose his true nature and make everyone think he was an idiot. This brat had already chosen the path to death!

As he looked at Zhou Tao before him, the malice in his heart grew ever stronger.

Back then, Zhou Tao had mocked his teacher and publicly humiliated him. Now, he had humiliated both Tang San and his companions.

All those matters combined

had left Tang San unable to let go.

He had already wanted to find an opportunity for revenge.

Since they had met here today, he might as well eliminate him.

After all, the Shrek Seven Devils were all gathered here.

This was also the time they were most certain of dealing with Zhou Tao.

At this thought, Tang San began scheming.

He would first fabricate some crimes for Zhou Tao, then brutally torment him.

That way, he would appear righteous and glorious rather than someone settling a personal grudge.

Immediately afterward.

Tang San stared coldly at Zhou Tao and said:

"Zhou Tao!"

"How dare you mock me!"

"You have already paved your own path to death!"

"Three years ago, in the Star Dou Great Forest, you humiliated my teacher and me. Do you remember?"

"And now, you humiliate me and my classmates. Your crimes are simply unforgivable."

Tang San began bringing up old matters.

He was extremely skilled at fabricating crimes for Zhou Tao.

But Zhou Tao laughed.

"You open your mouth and start slandering people. You really have no shame."

"You and Gangzi are practically cast from the same mold. Both of you stink to high heaven."

"Back then, you provoked us in the Star Dou Great Forest, only to be suppressed like trash."

"There really aren't many idiots like you—weak as hell, yet always itching to cause trouble everywhere."

"As for these classmates of yours, they either came to molest my friend or pick a fight."

"Birds of a feather flock together. No wonder you animals all ended up in the same academy."

"You animals really do have thick skins."

"You really are shameless."

"You beast—if I hadn't been so magnanimous back then, I would've crippled your stupid ass long ago."

"Just like your bite-happy teacher Gangzi, you should become a eunuch too."

"Then you won't go around biting people like a rabid dog."

Seeing Tang San actually dare to turn the tables and accuse him, Zhou Tao could no longer hold back.

Since he dared to slander him, Little Scumbag would immediately receive his karmic retribution!

Zhou Tao's barrage of mockery instantly darkened Little Scumbag's face, leaving him so furious that he could not speak.

Xiao Wu, standing nearby, watched the scene.

She found it somewhat hard to believe.

But judging from Little Scumbag's expression, what Zhou Tao said was very likely true.

Moreover.

Why was this version of events different from what she had heard from Tang San?

However.

As a hopelessly lovestruck fool with a love-struck brain at level ten.

The old Spirit Bone rabbit believed that the person in front of her must be twisting right and wrong.

Her Little Scumbag was pure and spotless—he never lied.

At this moment, the old Spirit Bone rabbit developed an intense disgust toward Zhou Tao.

Just then.

Little Scumbag moved.

Without blushing or skipping a beat, he forcibly made up nonsense:

"Zhou Tao, you really know how to make things up. I won't waste words with you anymore. Today, I'll make you pay the price!"

After saying that, Little Scumbag prepared to fight.

Seeing this, Zhou Tao immediately laughed.

"Fight me? Where did you get that confidence?"
