Douluo Continent: The original Yu Xiaogang brutally defeats Tang San at the start.

The public humiliation at the theoretical exchange meeting became the final straw that broke Tang San's rationality.

The intertwining of old and new grudges brought his resentment towards Lin Yuan to an unprecedented peak.

He knew that within the academy, within the rules, he could no longer defeat that devilish man.

Since that's the case, then... let's break the rules!

Since we can't win through fair and square methods, let's solve it using our own methods!

A frenzied and resolute killing intent, like a poisonous vine growing in the depths of hell, quietly crept into Tang San's heart.

The opportunity soon arrived.

During a field practice class organized by the college.

The course involved several instructors leading students into the outer area of ​​the Soul Beast Forest outside Notting City to identify different soul beasts and usable plants, thus broadening their practical experience.

Tang San deliberately lagged behind the group, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far from Lin Yuan. His hand had already been secretly slipped into his sleeve, where he had hidden a hidden arrow, crafted with iron needles coated with paralyzing poison, a weapon he had painstakingly created.

"Yu Xiaogang, you forced me to this!"

Tang San's eyes flashed with a mad and venomous light.

He seized the opportunity and launched a sneak attack the moment Lin Yuan turned around to examine a plant, completely exposing his back to him!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three poisoned iron needles, arranged in a triangular pattern, shot silently from his sleeve, heading straight for Lin Yuan's back and neck!

He was confident that at such close range, even a Soul Venerable level expert would be unable to dodge this fatal blow!

However, just as the three poisoned needles were about to pierce Lin Yuan's body, less than an inch from his skin!

A sudden change has occurred!

As if he had a third eye in the back of his head, Lin Yuan shifted his body laterally!

At the same time, eight ferocious spider spears suddenly extended from his back, like eight black lightning bolts, instantly blocking all of Tang San's escape routes!

"How...is this possible?" Tang San's expression froze in shock.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Yuan slowly turned around, a mocking sneer on his face.

In fact, the moment Tang San landed behind him and undisguised, venomous killing intent emanated from his body, the system's warning in Lin Yuan's mind had already been ringing out like the sharpest alarm.

With the system's cheat-like assistance, Tang San's sneak attack appeared full of flaws to Lin Yuan.

"Is that all you've got? Using such underhanded and despicable methods?" Lin Yuan approached Tang San step by step.

The eight spider spears on his back made a grating, chilling sound as their tips scraped across the leaf-strewn ground.

That chilling killing intent, like a tangible wave, rushed towards us!

Tang San was so frightened by this terrifying aura that he retreated repeatedly. His initial shock was instantly replaced by the instinct for survival, and he roared in a weak, menacing voice:

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! If you do, I won't be polite!"

He wildly raised his hands, and more flying needles, caltrops, and bone-piercing nails were thrown at Lin Yuan as if they were free, raining them down on him!

But all of this was just a futile struggle.

Lin Yuan's figure moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, gracefully navigating the dense rain of hidden weapons, his footwork both elegant and precise.

Countless deadly projectiles could only whiz past his clothes in vain, none of them actually managing to touch him.

Suddenly, just as he passed through the rain of hidden weapons, Lin Yuan flipped his wrist, and an exquisitely crafted cylindrical metal object appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Since you like playing with hidden weapons, then I'll show you what real hidden weapons are."

A cruel smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

He pointed towards the horrified Tang San and gently pressed his thumb on the base of the cylinder.

"puff!"

A very faint sound, like the tearing of cloth, was heard.

The next second, a cloud of poisonous needles exploded like a dark cloud, carrying a deathly howl, and swept over Tang San!

Innuendo!

Tang San's pupils contracted to the most dangerous pinpoints in that instant!

He was so terrified that his soul almost left his body and he felt like his spirit was about to die!

He recognized the hidden weapon!

This is clearly one of the most effective group attack weapons among the Tang Clan's mechanical hidden weapons, as recorded in the Hidden Weapon Chapter of the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record"!

Its manufacturing process is far more complex than that of a hidden arrow!

He had only seen it on blueprints; with his current abilities, he couldn't even make the most basic parts!

The shadow of death loomed over them in an instant!

He frantically used his Ghostly Shadow Technique to its fullest extent, transforming himself into a blurry shadow as he desperately lunged to the side.

Even so, he narrowly avoided most of the poisoned needles, but a few stray needles still managed to leave fine bloodstains on his arms and exposed calves.

A strong numbing sensation instantly came from the wound and spread throughout my body at an extremely fast speed!

He felt half of his body begin to stiffen, his legs gave way, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"you……"

Tang San looked at Lin Yuan in utter terror, his voice trembling with fear and the numbness of the poison.

"How could you make such a veiled attack?!"

Lin Yuan did not answer. Instead, like an elegant magician, he produced a hidden weapon with murderous intent in his free hand, as well as a lotus-shaped base with an ancient design and intricate patterns.

"I not only looked at the design drawings for the 'Sand Insinuation,' 'Peacock Feather,' and even the 'Buddha's Wrath Lotus,' but I also made some minor improvements."

Lin Yuan toyed with the hidden weapon in his hand, whispering like a devil.

"Do you think you're the only one who can do that?"

Tang San completely broke down!

His greatest secret, the Tang Clan's ultimate martial arts that he was so proud of, was completely transparent in front of this man!

He not only knew, but he even... did it better than I did!

"Who...who are you?"

Tang San asked, trembling.

"I am your gravedigger."

Lin Yuan sneered, and his Eight Spider Lances suddenly extended forward, instantly subduing Tang San, who was limp on the ground.

All of this was clearly seen by the team leader and other students who rushed over after hearing the commotion.

Tang San ambushed his teacher, but the incident was exposed and the evidence was irrefutable.

He was given a major demerit by the academy and placed in solitary confinement. His already precarious reputation within the academy plummeted to rock bottom this time.

[Ding! Successfully thwarted Tang San's sneak attack with hidden weapons and completely crushed him. Host gains 3000 points for "Torture Tang San"!]

[Ding! Tang San's social status has plummeted once again, and his protagonist aura has been weakened by 5%!]

[Ding! Tang San's corruption level +2%, current corruption level: 37%!]

……

In the dark, damp confinement cell.

Tang San huddled in a cold corner, his hands and feet bound by shackles that restricted his soul power.

His eyes were empty, yet in the deepest part of that emptiness burned endless resentment and a deep-seated incomprehension.

He couldn't figure it out.

He really couldn't understand it.

What is wrong with this world?

Why would there be a monster like Lin Yuan, who seems to be targeting me in every way and knows everything about me?

His rebirth, his Tang Clan, is it... just a joke?
