"The Spirit Hall. That behemoth. She..."
How could Long Yuan know such an important figure?
Tang San stood before the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
His teeth were clenched so tightly that they were grinding together, and his deep eyes were filled with resentment, anger, and humiliation.
Wuhun Temple.
The most powerful Soul Master organization on the continent controls the advancement channels for countless Soul Masters, and even the two great empires have to bow down to it.
Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was an elder of the Spirit Hall, but it was just a nominal title with no real power.
"What a terrifying woman. She's actually the eldest daughter of the Qian family. No wonder she has such a noble air about her."
Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang exchanged a glance, both seeing relief in each other's eyes.
Qian Renxue finally came to her senses.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm her heartbeat.
Then, she raised her head, her golden eyes sweeping over everyone present.
Then, her gaze fell on the hand that Gu Linyuan had placed on her shoulder.
A blush rose on her face again.
But she didn't push him away.
"You heard everything?"
Qian Renxue spoke, her voice cold and haughty, like a queen issuing a decree.
"I've got my eye on this soul beast."
She stretched out her other hand, her slender fingers pointing at the human-faced spider on the ground.
Do you have any objections?
Qian Renxue felt a little embarrassed. She had always believed that using one's family background to intimidate others was not the mark of a hero.
This was the first time she had used the name of the Spirit Hall to intimidate someone, and it felt a little strange.
After knowing Gu Linyuan for a long time, she also started to become bad.
"Miss Qian, are you also going to follow Long Yuan and bully others with your power?"
Tang San's face turned green.
"Tang San, I'm going to teach you this lesson today. When you're out in the game, you need power and connections."
"Besides, just now, didn't you use your power to intimidate and force Mr. Meng Shu to back down? If Mr. Meng Shu didn't know your identities, would he have let you shameless people off so easily?" Gu Linyuan said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, both the Dragon God and the Snake Goddess nodded secretly.
They were no pushovers. If it weren't for the extraordinary backgrounds of Zhao Wuji's students, they would never have backed down.
Gu Linyuan is now simply using their own methods against them.
The Dragon Lord and Snake Lady felt a secret sense of satisfaction. As per usual custom, that spirit beast had already lost to Tang San and was no longer theirs.
However, this did not stop them from being happy to see Tang San and the others suffer a setback.
They would rather Gu Linyuan get that soul beast.
"Long Yuan. You!"
Tang San's face was extremely ugly.
Seeing that the purple soul ring on the corpse of the human-faced spider was beginning to dissipate, he became even more anxious.
He didn't have time to wait.
If this continues, the energy of the soul ring will dissipate back into the world.
In that case, he would be at a huge loss.
He had a premonition that this soul beast would be of great use to him, and he absolutely could not let Long Yuan take it away.
"Long Yuan, since you insist on this, let's use the rules of the martial world to decide who owns this soul beast."
“Let’s have a fight. If I win, this soul beast is mine.”
Tang San's expression hardened.
He knew that unconventional methods were no longer effective against Long Yuan.
Qian Renxue, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, is a figure Shrek Academy cannot afford to offend. If they continue to dwell on this topic, they will remain at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Tang San directly changed his words.
"Tang San, you're really quite amazing."
Gu Linyuan looked Tang San up and down.
Tang San really didn't blush or skip a beat. No wonder in the original story, his adoptive father was always completely suppressed by Tang San.
Tang San, if he has even the slightest advantage, he will definitely bring it into his area of strength. He then uses his strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses.
To be fair, this is actually an advantage. The prerequisite is having thick skin.
Those powerful individuals were all extremely arrogant. If Tang San provoked them, they would inevitably be led astray by him.
But what advantages does Tang San have compared to himself?
Gu Linyuan had a complete advantage over Tang San. He wasn't afraid of Tang San playing mind games with him.
“Miss Meng Yiran has thirty-six Soul-Breaking Blades. You and I each have eighteen. In a moment, I will have the seniors shake a large tree twenty meters away, and some leaves will fall.”
"We will throw our Soul-Shattering Blades at the same time. The one who pierces the most leaves wins. But no matter how many leaves they pierce, the Soul-Shattering Blade must remain on the tree trunk. Soul-Shattering Blades that do not pierce the trunk will not be counted in the final score."
Seeing that Gu Linyuan did not object, Tang San immediately spoke first.
"Tang San, have you no shame? Since you proposed the duel, then the content of the duel should be proposed by Young Master Longyuan. That would be fair."
Although Meng Yiran was angry, she still admired Tang San's strength and even had a faint admiration for him.
But seeing Tang San's posture, the illusion instantly vanished.
Don't be fooled by Tang San's clever tricks. Those arrogant people would never admit they're inferior to him. Therefore, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
This is a top-notch, overt strategy.
If Long Yuan refuses, it will be an opportunity to put him in a superior position. Then, when they meet Long Yuan again, they will have the right to boss him around.
"How many leaves were pierced by the hidden weapon? Are you sure?"
Gu Linyuan looked puzzled.
As the inheritor of the Tree of Life martial spirit and the direct descendant of the Goddess of Life, if he were to use his life essence, even the plants within a kilometer radius would likely sense it.
The Tree of Life is the mother of all plants. If he were to use even a trace of his life essence, countless plant-type soul beasts would worship him.
If it's about this, he could make Tang San question his existence.

"Long Yuan, don't listen to Tang San."
"He just competed with me in this area and won against this soul beast. In this respect, Tang San is almost invincible." Meng Yiran explained, thinking that Gu Linyuan was unaware of Tang San's background.
Tang San's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He looked at Meng Yiran, his voice still steady:
“Miss Meng Yiran is mistaken. Since it is a competition, the rules must be agreed upon by both parties. If Young Master Longyuan feels it is inappropriate, he is free to suggest modifications.”
His words were impeccable, as if he were not someone trying to gain an advantage, but a fair and impartial referee.
But Meng Yiran's words had already planted a seed in the hearts of everyone at Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong lowered her head, unwilling to look at Tang San any longer.
Zhu Zhuqing shifted her gaze from Tang San to Gu Linyuan, a hint of worry in her light-colored eyes.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, both seeing complex expressions in each other's eyes.
They spent every day with Tang San, treating him like a brother. But at this moment, they had to admit that Tang San's actions were indeed not very honorable.
"Or perhaps, Long Yuan, you're afraid?"
Tang San's gaze was fixed on Gu Linyuan's hood.
"Scared? Tang San, stop making me laugh." Gu Linyuan shrugged.
Tang San's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
He had calculated everything correctly.
In terms of cultivation, he was no match for Long Yuan.
But when it comes to hidden weapons, no one in the world can beat him.
This is his domain, his pride, his last bastion. His technique of using the Xuan Yu Hand to control hidden weapons is unique in this world.
"Long Yuan. You really want to compete with him? But he..."
Meng Yiran's tone was urgent; she genuinely didn't want Long Yuan to repeat her mistakes. Zhu Zhuqing was also getting restless and prepared to step forward to stop Gu Linyuan.
Gu Linyuan merely glanced at Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing and nodded slightly.
Then he turned to Tang San.
"Okay. We'll do it your way."
His voice was flat, as flat as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.
A hint of joy flashed in Tang San's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Long Yuan, you are indeed straightforward. I admire you for that."
After speaking, Tang San turned around and bowed to Meng Shu, the Dragon Lord:
"Senior, could you please help shake that big tree?"
Meng Shu glanced at Gu Linyuan, then at Tang San, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
