Kapitel 37: Is Tang San's First Soul Skill a Deadly Weapon?
"Xiao San, Xiao San, I'm over here!"
From afar, Zuzong shouted at the top of his lungs.
Look at that expression and tone! So warm and affectionate, as if they were the closest of friends (Zuzong: Pfft! It's friendship, not anything else!). Those who didn't know might have thought they were best brothers "deeply connected in spirit"!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuzong and two others came fully into Shrek Academy's view.
Dai Mubai showed a surprised expression, turning to Tang San, and asked, "Tang San, do you know that guy?"
Just moments earlier, Dai Mubai had been ready to go pick a fight. Whether that blue-haired pretty boy had "tried to seduce" Zhu Zhuqing or not, he intended to teach him a lesson.
There were three reasons:
Drawing Zhu Zhuqing's attention was already a crime.
Being better-looking than him was an unforgivable offence.
Most importantly, the two beauties with him completely ignored Dai Mubai, despite his noble status and good looks. Another crime.
But now things had changed. That person was calling out to Tang San, and affectionately calling him "Xiao San."
Tsk, tsk, just listen to that!
Even among their classmates, no one called him "Xiao San." This was quite intriguing. After all, they'd be spending years together with Tang San, so they should give him some face.
Tang San's lips twitched as he shot a venomous glance at the approaching Zuzong. If no one else had been around, he would definitely make him taste his newly crafted Zhuge Crossbow.
"Yeah, I know him," Tang San admitted. He had a decent impression of Dai Mubai and regarded him as a good buddy, so there was no need to lie.
Dai Mubai nodded in realization, thinking, "So they really are friends! Good thing I didn't act impulsively."
Just then, Zuzong walked up to them. After a quick glance, he noticed that Tang San's soul power had risen to level 29, and a smirk played at the corners of his mouth. Interesting! Even though Tang San's first soul ring had been wasted, he had still reached level 29.
"Hey, Xiao San, why are you still so silent? Your big brother is talking to you, and you're not even responding. Have you forgotten that I helped you obtain your first soul ring back in the day?"
Dai Mubai (confident now): Yeah, Tang San really is quiet. This guy knows Tang San's temperament well. Looks like they're really friends—he even helped with the soul ring. They must be close!
Tang San (angry): Friends, my foot! This jerk is nothing but trouble!
As Zuzong talked, he began sizing up the three in front of him:
Tang San was still the same, clearly itching to punch him. Dai Mubai smiled politely, probably thinking Zuzong was a close friend of Tang San.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, Zuzong glanced at her... chest. Wow, that's... quite large (gulp). But why does she keep staring at me? That tender, longing look... Could it be that even the coldest girl in the original story is swayed by my beauty?
Clearing his throat, Zuzong spoke seriously, "Ahem, by the way, my name is Zuzong. You can call me Zuzong or Xiao Zong. I'm Tang San's 'hometown friend' and elementary school classmate."
As he spoke, Zuzong gestured towards Xiao Wu and Ye Lingling. "This rabbit girl is our village chief's granddaughter, and the black-veiled beauty is our academy's campus queen."
Although Xiao Wu wasn't fond of Tang San's gloomy attitude, especially his first soul skill (that's the main point, isn't it?), since Zuzong was introducing her, she wouldn't lose face. "Hi everyone, I'm Xiao Wu."
As she spoke, Xiao Wu walked over to Tang San, examining him from head to toe. Her gaze made Tang San feel a bit awkward.
Tang San (blushing): Xiao Wu is so cute!
Xiao Wu suddenly clapped her hands in realization. "Oh, your name is Tang San, right? Looking closely, you're actually pretty ugly."
Upon hearing this, black lines appeared on Tang San's forehead. This sudden blow seriously hurt his heart, which had endured two lifetimes of being a bachelor.
Dressed in all black, with a veil covering her face, Ye Lingling maintained her cold demeanor as she softly said, "Ye Lingling." Anyone familiar with her would have noticed that she was much gentler now. Previously, she would only nod at most, or perhaps not speak at all.
Hearing Ye Lingling's melodious, otherworldly voice, Dai Mubai was mesmerized. He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and thought, "Ye... Ling... Ling, huh? She seems around my age, a girl who's truly otherworldly. I wonder how Zhuqing will be in a few years."
He brushed back his slightly windblown golden hair and said seriously, "Oh, hello! I'm Dai Mubai, Tang San's classmate." While speaking, his eyes kept darting between Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling. As for Xiao Wu, he automatically ignored her. Although she was pretty, compared to the other two, she just didn't measure up.
A cold glint flashed in Zuzong's eyes, which didn't escape his notice. Hmph! This guy will never change.
Zhu Zhuqing stared directly at Zuzong and coldly said, "Zhu—Zhu—Qing," biting out her name heavily. She seemed like she wanted to say more, but after glancing at the two girls beside Zuzong, she could only snort and mutter, "Men are all pigs."
Zuzong rolled his eyes, confused. Did I offend her somehow?
Tang San remained silent, his gaze lingering on Xiao Wu, feeling an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
As he shifted his gaze back to Zuzong, the sense of loss mostly disappeared, and his previously flushed face grew stern again. Coldly, he said, "Hmph, stop pretending to be nice. What do you want? If there's nothing, I'm heading back to the academy."
Tang San's reaction was within Zuzong's expectations, but Xiao Wu wasn't pleased. Like an angry cat—no, an angry rabbit—she shot a fierce glare at Tang San and said, "Hmph! What's with your tone? Xiao Zong was so friendly with you, and you respond with harsh words. Are you still holding a grudge over the first soul ring incident?"
"First soul ring?" ×2
Both Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled. They had sparred with Tang San and acknowledged his strength. Zhu Zhuqing admitted she was no match for him, and Dai Mubai believed that without using his third soul skill, he couldn't easily defeat Tang San.
Tang San was now at level 29. They had both seen his second soul skill, Parasite, a tough single-target control skill. However, neither of them had ever witnessed his first soul skill.
Could it be that Tang San's first soul skill was a deadly secret weapon?
