Chapter 67: Tang San Played

"It was a stormy night. Everyone knows that the first two floors of the Tang Sect's Scripture Repository are heavily guarded. What they don't know is that I have personally guarded the core third floor for over ten years. Tang San, let's not bring up the shameful incident from your past. Let bygones be bygones. Without my permission, you would never have been able to obtain the Xuan Tian Bao Lu," Mu Chen said, gazing intently at Tang San.

A shameful incident? 

What could Tang San possibly have done in his previous life that was so disgraceful? 

That was, of course, the time when Tang San sneaked into the Scripture Repository at night to steal the Xuan Tian Bao Lu.

Indeed, on that stormy night, Tang San successfully entered the third floor of the Scripture Repository. However, he encountered the Tang Lan Grand Ancestor.

At that time, when Tang San was discovered by the Tang Lan Grand Ancestor, he heard the threat of being expelled from the sect. Tang San was frantic.

Since he was a baby, Tang San had been taken in by the Tang Sect. In his heart, he believed he was a part of the Tang Sect. He lived as a member of the Tang Sect and would die as a ghost of the Tang Sect. When he heard he might be expelled, his desire to uphold the Tang Sect's honor drove him to desperation. He took out a dagger, intending to end his own life.

Fortunately, the Tang Lan Grand Ancestor showed mercy, not adhering strictly to the rules. He threw a hidden weapon that knocked the dagger from Tang San's hand, saving his life.

In the end, the Tang Lan Grand Ancestor personally handed him the Xuan Tian Bao Lu.

Now, with the time and place Mu Chen mentioned being accurate, the last shred of caution in Tang San's heart was shattered by his past disgraceful act.

Tang San knelt down before Mu Chen, both knees touching the ground, and said, "I, Tang San, disciple of the Tang Sect, pay my respects to the Tang Lan Grand Ancestor."

Mu Chen smiled faintly, feeling an immense sense of pride. With his silver tongue, he had finally managed to fool Tang San. But this was just the beginning.

"Tang San, no need for such formalities. I am not the Tang Lan Grand Ancestor anymore. From now on, just call me Boss Mu," Mu Chen said, stepping forward to help Tang San up.

"Yes, Boss Mu," Tang San replied obediently.

"Tang San, as a disciple of the Tang Sect, I want to test your knowledge. Recite the contents of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu for me!" Mu Chen turned around, facing away from Tang San, suppressing a laugh. "To save time, you only need to recite the formulas for Xuan Tian Gong, Xuan Yu Shou, Zi Ji Mo Tong, Kong He Qin Long, and Gui Ying Mi Zong."

"So many?" Tang San asked in shock.

"What? You don't want to?" Mu Chen tilted his head to glance back at Tang San. "With the Xuan Tian Bao Lu in your possession, you're the same age as I am, yet your soul power is only at level thirty. That's quite a gap! I suspect you might have damaged your brain from the fall, which is why you've only remembered fragments of the techniques, resulting in your low level of soul power."

Facing Mu Chen's words, Tang San had no choice but to comply. When compared to Mu Chen, he indeed felt significantly inferior.

In truth, Tang San's innate talent wasn't much better than that of Dai Mubai and the others. His rapid improvement was entirely due to the Tang Sect's ultimate skills.

Thus, Tang San recited the formulas for Xuan Tian Gong, Xuan Yu Shou, Zi Ji Mo Tong, Kong He Qin Long, and Gui Ying Mi Zong, excluding the methods for using hidden weapons and the An Qi Bai Jie.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, you have acquired the internal cultivation method: Xuan Tian Gong."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, you have acquired the hand training method: Xuan Yu Shou."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, you have acquired the eye training method: Zi Ji Mo Tong."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, you have acquired the capture technique: Kong He Qin Long."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, you have acquired the lightness technique: Gui Ying Mi Zong."

"Hahaha, I've just obtained five ultimate skills from the Tang Sect all at once!"

Mu Chen was overjoyed, having successfully tricked Tang San and acquired five secret skills from the Xuan Tian Bao Lu.

But was this the end of it? Clearly not!

Mu Chen turned to face Tang San and asked, "You recited all the techniques flawlessly, but why is your cultivation so low? Little San, you need to work harder!"

Tang San cupped his fists and nodded, saying, "Yes, Tang Lan Grand Ancestor. No, Boss Mu."

Mu Chen continued, "Little San, we have three months until we enter the City of Slaughter. Now that we have acknowledged each other, the task of creating those hidden weapons will fall to you. Find some time to make a trip to Soto City."

Tang San raised an eyebrow, his expression one of shock. "Me?"

Mu Chen asked, "Is it a matter of money?"

Mu Chen touched his ring-shaped soul tool, flicked his fingers, and pulled out 100,000 gold soul coins. "Is there any problem now?"

"N-No, there's no problem."

Tang San was taken aback, regretting his earlier words. He felt like he had dug a pit for himself to jump into.

"Let's go; it's time to head back."

Mu Chen strode toward the small square of Shrek Academy. The matter of the hidden weapons was successfully resolved.

"Boss Mu, regarding my teacher Yu Xiaogang, will he really never be able to break through level thirty in this lifetime?" Tang San followed, storing the 100,000 gold soul coins into his 24 Bridge Mingyue Night. He was curious about Yu Xiaogang.

In Tang San's eyes, Mu Chen was the reincarnation of the Tang Lan Grand Ancestor. Having seen so much, perhaps he had a method to help Yu Xiaogang break through level thirty.

"There is," Mu Chen replied.

"What method?" Tang San asked curiously.

"Forget it; let's not discuss my teacher behind his back," Mu Chen said, clearly not wanting to reveal the answer. He had a task concerning Yu Xiaogang to complete.

"Teacher, the martial skills you taught Ning Rongrong and Oscar, how come I've never seen them in the Tang Sect?" Tang San, seeing that Mu Chen didn't want to talk about Yu Xiaogang, curiously inquired about the Ba Ji Beng, Xuan Jie Dou Ji Chui Huo Zhang, and Wind God Leg.

"When I was younger, I traveled in the Central Plains. I defeated many experts from various sects, and with my remarkable memory, I acquired many martial arts from different sects," Mu Chen continued to deceive Tang San, suddenly stopping and asking, "Little San, do you want to learn those martial arts?"

"Yes." Tang San nodded.

Whether it was the Ba Ji Beng or the Wind God Leg, they were both profound and mysterious.

"That won't do; it's not that I don't want to teach you, but since you've already become my teacher's disciple, you need to get his permission first." Mu Chen felt a thrill; he could finally complete another task regarding training the Shrek Seven.

"Boss Mu, you're right. I do need to ask my teacher," Tang San nodded.

Before long, Mu Chen and Tang San returned.

As soon as Tang San stepped onto the small square of Shrek Academy, he urgently approached Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Teacher, starting today, I will also accept Boss Mu's training. Is that alright?"

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Mu Chen, fully acknowledging his capabilities. "That's fine; I'm not a rigid person. Mu Chen indeed possesses exceptional skills and is qualified to teach you."

Hearing this, Tang San joyfully replied, "Thank you, teacher. Boss Mu, from today on, I am willing to accept your training. Whatever you arrange for me, I will comply without complaints."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, all seven members of the Shrek Seven are willing to accept your guidance. Reward: 7 skill points. Reward: 54,000 soul power."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, all members of the Shrek Seven are willing to accept your guidance. You have perfectly completed the task. System bonus reward: Tenfold Doubling Card."
