Chapter 152

Gu Xuan looked at Tang San lying unconscious on the bed, his heart no longer had much fluctuation, because he had truly met Tang San many times.

It's not really a trap for him, because what Gu Xuan gave him is exactly what he needs now, it's just that in terms of cost-performance, Gu Xuan got a bargain.

Mainly because there will be many uses for Tang San later, and many points can be utilized, so Gu Xuan currently does not plan to cripple Tang San.

It's not exactly that he's crippled, just that Tang San's current condition cannot support him participating in the later tournament; if not treated, later he won't have a chance to show his twin martial souls.

This tournament, because of Feng Xiao Tian and the changes in the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect team, the Shrek Academy led by Tang San, although also a dark horse, is not outstanding, not enough to draw the Spirit Hall's attention.

So Gu Xuan wants to add fuel to the fire.

Gu Xuan, under everyone's gaze, slowly took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Meng Yiran: "Let Xiao San take it; this Soul-Returning Pill can compensate for Xiao San's spiritual power injury, but how much it can restore is not something I can predict."

Meng Yiran happily took the porcelain bottle Gu Xuan handed over, her eyes full of gratitude: "Big Brother Gu, thank you."

The others of Shrek Academy also watched enviously, especially Dai Mubai; if he could befriend Gu Xuan, with Gu Xuan's righteousness, who could move him in the future?

Flandre, Yu Xiaogang and several others at this time also bowed their fists to Gu Xuan: "Shrek will remember this friendship; if needed in the future, Flandre will not shirk."

Although Flandre is a profiteer who likes to squeeze labor, it must be said he still has feelings for his own disciples.

Gu Xuan casually waved his hand and replied: "Dean Flandre, there's no need for this; Xiao San is my friend, doing what little I can is what I should do."

Upon hearing this, even Zhu Zhuqing's gaze toward Gu Xuan brightened; finding a man, shouldn't one look for someone like Gu Xuan?

What is Dai Mubai? Self-abandonment aside, he still likes to show off in front of himself! Meng Yiran gave Tang San the pill, Gu Xuan stood aside watching silently.

This Soul-Returning Pill is actually not cheap; after all, it was refined from a ten-thousand-year medicinal herb mixed with other herbs, yielding only about twenty pills at the time; even now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's level of Soul-Returning Pills numbers only a few hundred; giving it to Tang San, he truly didn't lose out.

After taking the pill, Flandre proactively guided Tang San's soul power to refine the pill; a quarter hour later, the originally unconscious Tang San actually woke up groggily, but as soon as he woke, Tang San clutched his head and cried out in pain!

"Ah!"

The backlash of spiritual power had not yet faded; Tang San only felt his head as if ten thousand needles were pricking it, painful.

After a while, Tang San's clothes were soaked with sweat, but his condition gradually stabilized; the Soul-Returning Pill took effect.

Tang San sat cross-legged, circulating the Profound Heaven Technique to regulate his breath; only after regaining some consciousness did he open his eyes, a hint of gloom flashing in the depths.

Blue Radiance Academy, you already have a death wish! This time I indeed underestimated the Blue Radiance Academy team; I never expected to suffer such a big setback; my spiritual power is injured, originally without a year and a half I thought recovery would be hard.

However, the pill just taken works well; according to Tang San's estimate, with this pill's help, he should recover from the backlash injury in about a month.

At this moment Tang San saw Gu Xuan; he didn't expect Big Brother Gu to come personally see him, and immediately wanted to get up.

But having just regained a bit of consciousness, his body still didn't obey; after trying to rise he slumped back down, falling into Meng Yiran's arms.

"Big Brother Gu, my body is unwell, please excuse me." Yet Tang San still said to Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan smiled slightly, indifferently waved his hand: "Xiao San, rest well; next time I'll come see you."

Gu Xuan left, leaving only a back view for Tang San, taking not a wisp of cloud.

After Gu Xuan left, others swarmed over to care for Tang San.

After communicating, Tang San learned that so many healing-type Soul Masters couldn't cure him (Shrek Academy could only summon healers inferior to Soul Saint Shao Xin, due to lacking strong power and background.), ultimately it was Big Brother Gu who sent the miraculous medicine! A pill that can treat spiritual power backlash is certainly extraordinary; I didn't expect Big Brother Gu to say nothing more, seeing me wake up he didn't mention it; inevitably, Tang San's heart has already grown admiring Gu Xuan countless times.

After Gu Xuan left, he returned to the Royal Battle Team's hotel to rest; in the following days, Feng Xiao Tian would come find Gu Xuan whenever there was no match, and their feelings gradually deepened.

Gu Xuan still greatly admires Feng Xiao Tian; even without any external boost, Feng Xiao Tian's future achievements will at least be a Titled Douluo, and with enough effort breaking through to Super Douluo is not difficult.

One week later, Tang San's body recovered well; with Gu Xuan's Soul-Returning Pill, Tang San quickly regained his vigor, daily cultivating the Purple Extreme Magic Pupil, meanwhile restoring the spiritual power damaged by backlash. So before Gu Xuan went to look for him, he proactively came to the Royal Battle Team's hotel to find Gu Xuan; seeing Tang San actively come to him, Gu Xuan smiled slightly, his spiritual power swept around, and indeed he discovered the silhouette of Shi Nian.

That old schemer has been lurking for Tang San; now that Tang San openly appears, he has no reason not to act.

And Gu Xuan is so certain because when he went to treat Tang San, that old schemer secretly followed, finally guarding outside Shrek Academy's hotel.

Thinking of this, Gu Xuan said he would take Tang San out to relax, lest he be too tense all day; Tang San naturally was happy to do so.

The lurking Shi Nian also smiled with relief; he doesn't know Gu Xuan, after all Gu Xuan hasn't shown his face since the tournament started; but Gu Xuan's hotel is the Royal Battle Team's hotel, so he guessed Gu Xuan must be from the Royal Battle Team's first squad.

Members of the Royal Battle Team's first squad differ from Shrek Academy; basically they all have backgrounds; he cautiously chose to strike only at Tang San, then he only needs to use his martial soul to make Gu Xuan fall asleep, and he can also frame Gu Xuan—simply perfect.

Thinking thus, Shi Nian looking at Gu Xuan's back gained a hint of smile; it's practically heaven giving Shi Nian an opportunity.

Thus when Gu Xuan and Tang San arrived at a park, Shi Nian acted; the park had few people, all ordinary, so as soon as Shi Nian's Nightmare opened, he directly pulled Gu Xuan and Tang San into an illusion.

Because Tang San's spiritual power was already injured, he didn't notice at first; but when Shi Nian triggered the Nightmare, Gu Xuan had already noticed, as he had always been wary.

Moreover, Gu Xuan's current spiritual power is not inferior to that of a Soul Saint; even if trapped in Shi Nian's Nightmare, Gu Xuan still has the ability to counter-kill him; that's why Gu Xuan dares to openly bring Tang San out to lure the snake from its hole.

As they walked, Tang San suddenly felt Gu Xuan disappear, while he himself arrived deep in a forest; alert, he instantly sensed something wrong, and his Purple Extreme Magic Pupil suddenly erupted.

Just as he perceived Shi Nian's Nightmare, his heart began to tense; then a gentle yet firm voice from Gu Xuan came from his ears: "Xiao San, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Gu Xuan's voice transmission?!" Hearing this voice, Tang San's originally somewhat nervous thoughts gradually calmed.

"Xiao San, who have you offended?" Gu Xuan's voice sounded again.

Tang San frowned in thought, then slowly shook his head.

"This person's ability is Nightmare; I guess he should be the dean of Blue Radiance Academy, Shi Nian; perhaps because you broke Blue Radiance Academy's trump card he set his sights on you." Gu Xuan's voice sounded, and Tang San instantly understood.

He didn't expect Shi Nian to really be as sinister as Dean Flandre said; but fortunately Big Brother Gu is here, since Big Brother Gu can remain unaffected, he must have the ability to counter.

Just as he thought that, Gu Xuan's voice sounded again: "Close your eyes, focus your spirit, don't let the Nightmare affect you; give me one minute."

As soon as the words fell, Tang San silently closed his eyes; then he felt a terrifying soul power undulation coming from behind him.

At that moment, Shi Nian standing before Tang San and Gu Xuan suddenly changed expression; only to see Gu Xuan instantly open his eyes, looking at him with a gentle face.

"Shi Nian? Dean of Blue Radiance Academy, martial soul Nightmare, a seventy-three level Soul Saint; I didn't expect you to be this bold." Gu Xuan smiled slightly, breaking free from the Nightmare.

Relying on powerful spiritual power and initial vigilance, Gu Xuan could break free from Shi Nian's Nightmare control.

Of course, this is also because Shi Nian was overconfident and didn't fully bind Gu Xuan and the other; otherwise Gu Xuan could only have killed Shi Nian in the illusion, and might need to reveal some strength to Tang San.

But now it's different; although Tang San is already awake, he remains within the Nightmare; currently the conversation between Gu Xuan and Shi Nian he cannot hear or see, at most he can only sense the massive soul power fluctuations around him.

And Shi Nian, seeing Gu Xuan break free from his Nightmare, flashed a look of surprise: "How is that possible? My Nightmare is invincible everywhere."

By means of Nightmare, he has done many remarkable things; after all, he subtly altered the thinking of female classmates and teachers, then played some plot killings………

Now a Gu Xuan can break free from his Nightmare? Even if you are a genius of the Royal Battle Team's first squad, you're at most a Soul Ancestor? Even more heaven-defying a Soul King? Damn, a Soul King having this ability?
