Kapitel 72: Chapter 71: It’s Over, In a Literal Sense!
However, Cloud Maple had one idea: split-focus control.
If Cloud Maple remembered correctly, in the original timeline, Tang San requested a method from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect during the Soul Master Tournament.
While cultivating, Tang San's consciousness connected with all the Blue Silver Grass in the forest, which even laid the groundwork for his future awakening.
But currently, Cloud Maple wasn't close to Ning Rongrong. Although split-focus control wasn't exclusive to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they were the ones who had perfected it over time.
To be honest, Cloud Maple was quite envious of it.
The problem now for Cloud Maple was how to build a good relationship with Ning Rongrong. But he didn't want to become a sycophant like Oscar either.
As he thought about this, Cloud Maple started to form a basic plan, though he had no intention of going down the "nice guy" route.
Nice guys come last, right? After all, didn't Oscar spend over a decade flattering before finally winning over the beauty?
Just as Cloud Maple was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a gust of wind pass by him, and someone brushed past, pushing open the door behind him.
Cloud Maple was stunned.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was Tang San's room.
While Cloud Maple was puzzled, the answer soon came.
"Tang San, wake up! I can't take it anymore! What did you do to me? I'm peeing blood now!"
Cloud Maple froze in place. The person was none other than Zhao Wuji.
The loud voice of Zhao Wuji had already woken up everyone around.
Cloud Maple was an early riser since he usually didn't spend much time cultivating at night and preferred sleeping instead.
Since there were no entertainment activities at night in this world, Cloud Maple had always kept an early-to-bed, early-to-rise routine.
Tang San, on the other hand, was still recovering from his injuries, and his body was weak.
Zhao Wuji's sudden appearance interrupted Tang San's rest, causing his internal energy to churn, and his old injuries to resurface. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Initially, Tang San had opened his eyes with killing intent, but after seeing Zhao Wuji's state, he too was dumbfounded.
He asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Zhao Wuji, in obvious pain, quickly explained, "You brat! It's me, Zhao Wuji! What did you do to me yesterday? I'm seriously injured now! I'm peeing blood, and there's even some shredded meat coming out of my body!"
Cold sweat dripped down Zhao Wuji's forehead, clearly overwhelmed by pain and anxiety.
Tang San suddenly remembered the Dragon Beard Needles he had embedded in Zhao Wuji's body yesterday and felt a bit embarrassed.
"Teacher Zhao, don't worry. Those were just Dragon Beard Needles. I was too injured yesterday to remove them in time. After just one day, there shouldn't be any serious issues, as long as you don't press on the areas where I inserted them."
Tang San said this casually, having thought it over during the day. After all, both he, Xiao Wu, and Cloud Maple would be staying in this academy for the foreseeable future. With a Soul Sage as their backer, there was nothing to fear.
However, as he noticed Zhao Wuji's increasingly cold expression, Tang San subconsciously swallowed and nervously asked, "Teacher Zhao, you didn't…"
Zhao Wuji, losing his patience, asked quickly, "What would happen if someone struck the injured areas with great force?"
Tang San was now completely stunned. If he remembered correctly, the Dragon Beard Needles weren't just inserted into Zhao Wuji's limbs, but also his abdomen!
It was over.
That was Tang San's literal and internal reaction.
Zhao Wuji was doomed, and Tang San felt like he was too.
It seemed like he had caused big trouble this time.
Tang San hesitated before asking Zhao Wuji, "Teacher Zhao, can I ask if you have any lovers or children?"
Zhao Wuji, still anxious, responded impatiently, "Of course not! But now that you mention it, I kind of wish I did."
"Why? Does it have something to do with my injuries?"
At this point, Zhao Wuji's expression turned cautious, a trace of coldness seeping in.
Tang San didn't know how to respond. He realized that if he told the truth, he might not make it out alive today. For a man, what could be more terrifying than losing the ability to have children?
But outwardly, Tang San kept a calm facade and replied, "Teacher Zhao, you're overthinking it. I was just asking casually. Don't worry, it's only temporary. Once I remove the Dragon Beard Needles, and you take some time to recover, you'll be fine!"
Hearing this reassurance, Zhao Wuji visibly relaxed. The murderous intent in his eyes faded.
"Good, good. Hurry up and remove them then. This has been torturing me for a whole day."
Saying this, Zhao Wuji immediately took off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique.
However, beneath the muscles were several lumps protruding from his skin.
It was horrifying.
There were exactly ten lumps, corresponding to the ten Dragon Beard Needles that Tang San had embedded in his body.
The swollen areas couldn't be easily resolved.
Since Dragon Beard Needles were made from naturally occurring metal threads, although technically metal, they couldn't be attracted by magnets. Once embedded in flesh, they coiled up tightly.
Even with Tang San's skill, the needles had to be removed shortly after insertion, or they would burrow deeper into the flesh, necessitating surgical removal.
But there was no other option now. To prevent Zhao Wuji from realizing the full extent of the problem, Tang San had to give his all to remove the needles.
Even after removal, Zhao Wuji would still lose a lot of flesh, as the needles had been inside for too long. From the state of Zhao Wuji's injuries, it was clear that after his fight with Cloud Maple, he had engaged in another battle, likely taking a severe beating.
Tang San was curious about who had managed to beat up Zhao Wuji.
At this point, Cloud Maple and the others entered Tang San's room. Seeing Zhao Wuji's injuries, they were all shocked.
Dai Mubai and Oscar, in particular, looked at Tang San and Cloud Maple as if they were monsters. It was terrifying!
Tang San examined the locations of the Dragon Beard Needles on Zhao Wuji and frowned. Slowly, he said, "Teacher Zhao, I can only remove two needles per day. It will take five days to get them all out. I'll start with the most crucial ones."
Zhao Wuji nodded, his expression improving slightly, though his face still burned with embarrassment. After all, he was a Soul Sage.
Facing two kids, he had resorted to using his fifth soul ring.
It was clearly an example of bullying the weak.
However, he had to admit, these kids were incredible, especially with their bizarre attacks, which had truly opened Zhao Wuji's eyes.
