Chapter 142
"What? The future Tang San?"
Lin Yuan's words stunned everyone in the room. Flender stood up abruptly, and Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai looked at Tang San with shocked expressions. Even Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin turned their gazes over.
Yu Xiaogang was the first to react, angrily slamming his fist on the armrest of his wheelchair. " Lin Yuan! Stop talking nonsense! What future Tang San, what God King Tang San? Little San has always been with us, how could he suddenly become someone else!"
Lin Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile, " Grandmaster Yu, I haven't finished yet. The Tang San you all know has probably already been possessed by his future self."
"Bullshit!" Yu Xiaogang's face turned red with anger. " Evil Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, don't even think about sowing discord between us! Little San has been hunted down by your Spirit Hall these past few days. He might have been ambushed and injured his head, which is why he's forgotten some things. And now you actually want to use such a ridiculous reason to slander him!"
Flender frowned. Although he didn't curse like Yu Xiaogang, he clearly didn't believe Lin Yuan's words.
" Little Yuan, you can't just say things like that. While Little San has been acting a bit strange lately, we've never encountered anything like possession before. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Dai Mubai chimed in, "Exactly! Xiao San just forgot about Rongrong's martial soul evolution. To say he was possessed based on that alone is a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"
God King Tang San listened to everyone's words, his initially tense mood gradually relaxed.
Even if Lin Yuan really suspects him, so what if there's no evidence?
He looked coldly at Lin Yuan: " Lin Yuan, don't think that just because you're the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, you can slander me like this. What God King Tang San? I have no idea what you're talking about!"
Lin Yuan ignored the others and slowly walked up to Tang San.
"Really? Then I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
He sized up Tang San and said with a smile, "How come someone who struggled so much in the Soul Master Tournament suddenly became proficient in the Clear Sky Sect's secret technique, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, after being locked up in the dungeon?"
God King Tang San's gaze sharpened slightly.
Lin Yuan continued, "It wasn't just the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, but also the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and the Great Sumeru Hammer. Even with Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena attacking together, they still couldn't defeat you. They said you were incredibly skilled in your fighting, like a completely different person."
Flender and the others were taken aback.
They had only heard Tang San Tang San mention his battles with the Golden Generation during his prison break, and were completely unaware of these details.
Yu Xiaogang was also somewhat surprised. " The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes Sect? Little San, when did you learn the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect?"
God King Tang San's face darkened, then he sneered, "So what? I just had a sudden epiphany. As for the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques, they were naturally taught to me by my father. As the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, am I not allowed to learn the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate skills?"
Flender thought about it and realized that there was some truth to it.
"That's right. Tang Hao was originally a member of the Clear Sky Sect, so it's not surprising that he knows those secret techniques. Little San grew up with his father, so it's normal that he learned some of the Clear Sky Sect's unique skills."
Dai Mubai nodded in agreement. "Besides, who says that moves that haven't been used before can't be used in the future? Little San has been through so much lately, it's not impossible for her strength to have improved."
Yu Xiaogang immediately said, "That's right! And the idea of the future Tang San possessing the present Tang San is simply unheard of. Lin Yuan, if you can't produce any evidence, don't spout nonsense here!"
God King Tang San sneered inwardly.
These people still believe in themselves, as expected.
Lin Yuan did not continue to argue, but simply nodded.
"Alright, just consider those things as something your father taught you."
He turned and walked towards Ning Fengzhi, but after taking only two steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something and casually said, "Oh right, the Golden Dragon King has broken through the seal."
"Impossible!"
Without much thought, God King Tang San shouted it out.
He realized something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking.
Lin Yuan had stopped and turned around, looking at him with a smile.
"Oh? Why are you so excited?"
God King Tang San's expression changed instantly.
Of course he knew what the Golden Dragon King was.
Back when he was the God King, he personally participated in battles involving the Golden Dragon King. That guy was sealed in the Divine Realm Divine Realm, always a highly guarded object; how could he possibly break free of the seal suddenly?
But now, he was more concerned about the smile on Lin Yuan's face.
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction at his reaction.
"It really is you, the future God King Tang San."
God King Tang San clenched his fists tightly, and even his breathing became rapid.
He simply couldn't understand how Lin Yuan knew his identity.
Even though Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu, and the other members of Shrek didn't know about this, he hadn't mentioned the God King to any outsiders since he came to this world.
Lin Yuan did not press further, but instead suddenly changed the subject.
" Tang San, were you curious just now about why Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
God King Tang San raised his head, wondering what Lin Yuan was about to say next.
Lin Yuan walked up to Ning Rongrong and gently patted her head.
"Because the Aromatic Silk Beauty was picked by me from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and given to Rongrong to consume."
"What?!"
God King Tang San's expression suddenly changed. He never expected that the Aromatic Silk Beauty had already been picked by Lin Yuan and given to Ning Rongrong! And he had just used this Immortal Herb as a bargaining chip to talk to Ning Fengzhi for a long time.
Ning Rongrong didn't dodge Lin Yuan's hand; instead, she smiled and moved closer, calling out sweetly, "Brother Yuan, why are you only arriving now?"
Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Didn't we hear that someone was going to give your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect an incredible stroke of luck? Of course we had to come and see."
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"So you already knew what Third Brother was going to use to negotiate the deal?"
"I guessed roughly, and I didn't expect I'd actually be right."
Oscar, who was standing nearby, froze completely as he watched this scene unfold.
He had been pursuing Ning Rongrong for so long, and it wasn't easy for him to even have a few words with her normally. But now, the goddess he had always liked was actually taking the initiative to get close to Lin Yuan and act coquettishly in front of him, calling him "Brother Yuan" all the time.
Oscar felt as if an arrow had been pierced his chest.
Dai Mubai also somewhat surprised and couldn't help but look at Ning Rongrong: " Rongrong, when did you become so familiar with Lin Yuan?"
Ning Rongrong blinked. "We already know each other, what's so strange about that?"
Oscar felt even worse after hearing this.
Lin Yuan ignored them and continued to look at God King Tang San.
"You went through all that trouble to get to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but you didn't even get inside, did you? You were thinking of using the Aromatic Silk Beauty to negotiate with Uncle Ning, but you're too late."
God King Tang San's face was extremely grim.
He originally thought that there were only some minor deviations in this life, and that with his Remembrance of the future, he could still regain those opportunities.
But now, even the Aromatic Silk Beauty have been picked by Lin Yuan ahead of time.
Unfortunately, this Lin Yuan in front of him knows his future identity!
Just as God King Tang San was about to retort, a slightly trembling voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Elder brother..."
His body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head.
Xiao Wu was standing not far away, her eyes slightly red, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
She looked at Tang San, her voice trembling slightly, "Brother, was what Lin Yuan just said true? Are you really not the original Tang San anymore?"
God King Tang San opened his mouth, but did not answer immediately.
If it were anyone else, he could have continued to deny it. But facing Xiao Wu's eyes, he found himself unable to utter a lie for a moment.
In his previous life, Xiao Wu had been by his side for so many years, and the two had been through countless things together. No matter what, he never wanted to hurt Xiao Wu.
But standing before him now was Xiao Wu from this life.
He looked at Xiao Wu's expectant yet fearful expression, and finally turned his head away.
Deep down, the original Tang San was already frantic with worry.
"Say something! Xiao Wu is asking you a question!"
After a moment of silence, God King Tang San suddenly said, "It's up to you."
"What?"
Before Tang San could react, God King Tang San had already relinquished control of his body.
"You bastard! Now you know to give my body back? Why didn't you give it back when you were hugging Xiao Wu!"
God King Tang San did not respond to his curses.
All the onlookers saw was Tang San's body suddenly pause, his previously tense shoulders slightly relaxed, and his expression changed.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu again, a hint of panic appearing in his eyes.
" Xiao Wu, it's not like that, let me explain!"
He hurried over to Xiao Wu, reaching out to grab her, but found that Xiao Wu subconsciously took a small step back.
Tang San stopped abruptly, his voice becoming urgent. " Xiao Wu, I'm still me! I didn't lie to you, I really am Tang San, it's just that there's indeed another consciousness inside my body now, but I've always been here!"
Xiao Wu stared at him blankly, unsure of whom to believe.
"Brother, who was that person who was talking to us just now...?"
Tang San clenched his fists, wishing he could drag out his other self and give him a good beating.
Lin Yuan, who was standing to the side, had already noticed the changes in Tang San.
Just now, when facing me, Tang San remained very calm, and even when his identity was exposed, he tried to cover it up. But now, Tang San's tone of voice, his expression, and even the way he looked at Xiao Wu were all different.
Lin Yuan stroked his chin.
"Interesting."
He had initially thought that the future Tang San had directly taken over this body, but now it seemed that things were not so simple.
Lin Yuan didn't interrupt Xiao Wu and Tang San. Instead, he took out his phone from his pocket and opened Ruan Mei's chat window.
He quickly typed a message.
"Ms. Ruan Mei, are you interested in the existence of two independent consciousnesses within the same body, one of which is a reincarnated individual from the future?"
Then, Lin Yuan pressed the teleportation button.
