Tang San stared at "Xiao Wu," who was kissing Li Zhiyan right in front of him.
Rage filled his heart to the brim.
In his mind, Xiao Wu was his future wife. No one was allowed to lay a finger on her.
Even if it were a Titled Douluo, anyone who dared lay a finger on his Xiao Wu would pay with his life!
"Li Zhiyan!"
"You already have a way to die!"
Tang San summoned his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, intending to kill Li Zhiyan on the spot.
After reaching the kissing couple, he placed his left hand on "Xiao Wu's" shoulder.
"How dare you betray me!"
The next second, Tang San was utterly embarrassed.
The two people kissing were only dressed very much like Xiao Wu and Li Zhiyan. In fact, they were two perfectly ordinary people.
For a moment, Tang San was left embarrassed.
"Who the fuck are you?"
The man asked, his face full of anger.
"My girlfriend and I are getting intimate here. What's it to you?"
Tang San's face was full of embarrassment. Although he wasn't a good person, all he could do now was offer an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, sorry."
"I mistook you for someone else, brother."
Tang San kept smiling apologetically.
"Psycho."
The two of them cursed Tang San out, while he smiled apologetically in embarrassment.
What he didn't notice was that, at some unknown point, a Blue Silver Grass vine had wound itself around his waist.
His Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges had been stolen without him even noticing.
"Sorry..."
"Sorry, excuse me."
Tang San felt he was really a bastard. How could Xiao Wu possibly betray him?
In Xiao Wu's heart, the only person she could ever love was him!
After watching the two leave, Tang San said in puzzlement, "Why did I feel so warm just now?"
"It felt like Mom was right there beside me."
Tang San looked around, and soon saw Xiao Wu walking toward him. But her expression was a little strange.
Her cheeks were faintly flushed, and she looked somewhat dazed.
Tang San walked up to Xiao Wu and asked in puzzlement, "Xiao Wu, where did you go just now?"
"It's nothing, Brother. I just wandered around. I'm not very interested in blacksmith shops."
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, her eyes full of wariness. Before, Tang San had been family to her, someone who would risk his life to protect her.
But now, deep in Xiao Wu's heart, Tang San had become someone who might seize her Soul Ring.
Although she knew she couldn't believe everything Li Zhiyan had said and needed to slowly observe and discover the truth,
a rift had inevitably appeared between Xiao Wu and Tang San.
No matter how she looked at it, what Li Zhiyan said was more credible.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Why do I get the feeling you're in a bad mood?"
Tang San felt that something was off about the way Xiao Wu looked at him.
"It's nothing, Brother. Maybe I didn't rest well yesterday."
"Let's go meet up with Grandmaster and the others at the Great Soul Arena."
"Okay."
Tang San still hadn't realized that his belt was gone.
In the shadows.
Li Zhiyan felt a surge of pleasure after stealing the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.
At that moment, the system's rewards were also issued.
[Mission complete] [Reward received. Mission reward: Tang San's Hidden Weapon techniques] [Mission reward 2: Personal Space] [Mission reward 3: Ultimate technique, Ring Detonation]
Li Zhiyan put Tang San's belt into his Personal Space.
It certainly wouldn't be safe to carry the Soul Bone on him.
In his Personal Space, no one but him could open it, not even a God King.
Then he injected Soul Power into the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges from a distance. The moment it opened, several Hidden Weapons shot straight ahead.
Li Zhiyan had been prepared. Sure enough, there were Hidden Weapons inside Tang San's belt to catch anyone else who opened it off guard.
That, however, was within his expectations. Inside his Personal Space, he had nothing to fear from such a sneak attack; after all, he only needed to control it from outside the space.
After opening it, Li Zhiyan saw some Hidden Weapons, including Dragon Whisker Needles, Silent Sleeve Arrows, Bone-Piercing Needles, and Black Iron Flying Needles.
There were also blueprints for some Hidden Weapons.
Among them were blueprints for the Parent-Child Life-Seizing Soul-Chasing Balls and the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles.
It looked like Tang San was planning to make them.
"These two Hidden Weapons are very powerful..."
"But I don't have the means to make them yet. I'll keep them for later."
There were also some poisons inside the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, but Li Zhiyan didn't know how to use them, so he had no choice but to leave them there for now.
Li Zhiyan took out a Dragon Whisker Needle and played with it in his hand. His Hidden Weapon skills were now an exact copy of Tang San's.
As a result, he could use these Hidden Weapons with complete ease.
After putting the Dragon Whisker Needle into his Personal Space, Li Zhiyan could clearly sense that he had now learned the Clear Sky secret technique, Ring Detonation.
At this point in time on the Douluo Continent, only Tang Chen and Tang Hao could use this secret technique.
And he had already mastered it. If Tang Hao saw him use the Ring Detonation secret technique one day, what expression would he make?
"Still, Tang San's mom's Soul Skill, Entanglement, is really useful. It's like having an extra pair of hands that can attack from a distance."
"I'll refine Ah Yin's Soul Bone first..."
Li Zhiyan then entered a long period of refinement.
He didn't know how much time passed.
When he opened his eyes, Ah Yin's right leg Soul Bone had completely fused with him.
He had also gained two new abilities: flight and Wildfire Cannot Burn It Out, the Spring Breeze Brings It Back to Life!
"With the ability to fly, a lot of things will be much more convenient from now on..."
At that moment, the system issued another new mission.
[New mission issued] [You were ostracized and driven out of Shrek Academy] [As the saying goes, one who leaves a grudge unavenged is no gentleman] [Please scheme to make the academy of Shrek Academy fight among themselves] [Mission reward: Add a first Soul Ring to the Divine Emperor Clear Sky Hammer, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring]
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring..."
Li Zhiyan's heart suddenly began racing. He knew very well just how scarce Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings were in Douluo 1.
Even Tang San, who had the protagonist's halo, didn't get a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring until his sixth ring. Yet this reward was actually a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"Looks like I'll have to come up with a plan."
"Dai Mubai, Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, you drove me away. I definitely won't let you have an easy time."
After opening the Location Viewer, Li Zhiyan followed them from the shadows.
With this thing, he didn't have to fear anyone ambushing him.
After Tang San brought Xiao Wu to the Great Soul Arena,
Dai Mubai, Grandmaster, and the others were already waiting for him there.
Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San as he approached and asked curiously, "Tang San."
"Where's your belt? Why is it gone? Did you hide it?"
Only after hearing Ning Rongrong's words did Tang San realize something was wrong. His waist did seem unusually light.
He felt around and found that his waist was completely bare.
Tang San's vision went black. He felt as though he were dreaming.
"My Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges was stolen!"
"Who did it!"
"Who dared steal my Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges!"
Killing intent boiled in Tang San's heart.
Suddenly, he thought of Li Zhiyan. Just now, he had seen Xiao Wu kissing someone who looked like Li Zhiyan.
Those two were obviously people Li Zhiyan had found to put on an act!
Li Zhiyan had to be the one who stole his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges!
"It was Li Zhiyan! That beast stole my Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges!"
Ning Rongrong was unhappy when she heard that.
"Tang San, you're going too far! You already drove Li Zhiyan out of Shrek Academy."
"Now that you've lost something, you're blaming Li Zhiyan for it? You weren't capable enough to keep your own things, so you blame Brother Zhiyan?"
Ning Rongrong had always been deeply attracted to Li Zhiyan's good looks, and she was very unhappy that he had been driven away.
How could someone as handsome as Li Zhiyan possibly be an Evil Soul Master?
Still indignant, she confronted Tang San on the spot.
"Ning Rongrong, say that again!"
Tang San glared at Ning Rongrong, turning his anger on her.
"Tang San, you really are going too far."
Zhu Zhuqing also stepped forward.
"You already drove Li Zhiyan away, and you're still not satisfied? You have to slander him too?"
Xiao Wu was angry now as well. When they left the blacksmith shop, she had seen perfectly clearly that Tang San's belt was still there.
Only a few minutes had passed since she parted ways with Li Zhiyan. Unless he could teleport, how could he possibly have stolen Tang San's belt?
Tang San was beginning to feel more and more like a stranger to her, and she felt a trace of disgust in her heart.
Seeing the women all come out against him, and even Xiao Wu speak up for Li Zhiyan, Tang San knew he had stirred up everyone's anger.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong would both be his good dogs in the future, so he had better restrain himself for now.
He mustn't damage their unity. These six people would be essential help on his future path to becoming a god.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun also felt that Li Zhiyan probably hadn't done it.
But none of them spoke up. After all, Li Zhiyan's charm had been so great before that it had made them all very uncomfortable.
Oscar and Dai Mubai in particular were especially hostile toward Li Zhiyan because of the women they liked.
Seeing the three women all confront him, Tang San chose to keep quiet and walked straight into the Great Soul Arena.
Tang San hated Li Zhiyan even more now. The next time he saw him, he would make sure Li Zhiyan died without a place to be buried!
