Chapter 262: Self-Inflicted Consequences

Through-Arm's first soul skill was unleashed very quickly, and its speed was also very fast.

In just an instant, Ning Feiliu heard a scream come from afar, "Ah——!!!!"

Then, Tang San vaulted over the hotel's high building just like that and disappeared from Ning Feiliu's sight.

Ning Feiliu chuckled, not intending to continue the chase.

Otherwise, with his speed, the injured Tang San would not have been able to escape at all.

Especially with that injured area; what man could run very far after suffering such a fatal injury?

He was actually quite impressed by Tang San; to still be able to run so far like this.

Thinking of Tang San's subsequent miserable state, he couldn't help but be amused.

Tang San could theoretically use his mother's soul bone to regrow the severed limb and grow that thing back, but he remembered that the Blue Silver Emperor's limb regrowth required the support of an additional soul bone.

In other words, it wasn't impossible for Tang San to grow that thing back, but it would require a soul bone for that part.

A soul bone for that part would inevitably have to be an External Spirit Bone.

But looking through the entire Spirit Douluo series, it seemed... there was no such soul bone for that part.

Ning Feiliu found it even more amusing the more he thought about it.

But this way... it would also save Tang San from being disgusting to others later on.

However... after becoming a god, it would probably still be possible to grow it back.

But for Tang San to become a god...

Ning Feiliu indicated that it wouldn't be that easy anymore.

The inheritance of the Sea God... he planned to give it to Shui Bing'er or Shui Yue'er next.

If that old geezer, the Sea God, didn't agree or accept it, then he would rather leave it in the warehouse to gather dust than give it to Tang San.

However, Tang San still had the Asura God's God Position, which he truly could not interfere with.

Even if he became powerful later and killed Tang Chen, holding the Asura Demon Sword in his hands so as not to give it to Tang San.

It was likely that the old geezer, the Asura God, would still be able to pull strings for Tang San and let him inherit the God Position.

That was exactly how it happened in the original plot; Tang San had already inherited the Sea God's God Position, and he had still ended up dead later.

The old geezer, the Asura God, had stubbornly intervened, letting the Asura Demon Sword enter Xiao Wu's body, and even had the Nine Colored Goddess and the Food God resurrect Tang San, forcibly creating a dual-god fusion.

In short, this old thing, the Asura God, in order to dump the mess of being a God Realm Law Enforcer, was truly trying every possible way to exploit loopholes in the God Realm.

But at least Tang San's equipment was gone now, though it was unclear whether the barrel and the magazines were all removed, or if he just lacked the magazines.

But at the very least, that ability was gone, and his dignity was lost as well.

His mood had become quite good now, so he happily returned to his room and stopped cultivating.

……

Meanwhile, after suffering that inhuman pain, Tang San barely managed to circulate his Mysterious Heaven Skill and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to continue fleeing.

But after a short while, he still couldn't hold on, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

Yet this fall also caused his consciousness, which was about to fade into a coma, to become clear once again.

It had to be said that Tang San's willpower was indeed extremely firm.

Under these circumstances, he had managed to endure it without fainting.

He looked down at his crotch and discovered that a hole had long since been torn there, with blood flowing profusely.

The barrel was broken at this point, let alone those two magazines.

With blood streaming down and heart-piercing pain constantly washing over him, Tang San hurriedly took out hemostatic medicine and trauma medicine from his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

Enduring the agony, he finished applying the medicine.

Only after the bleeding finally stopped did he go to bandage the wound.

Then he changed into a new pair of pants.

After all this was done, Tang San still felt dizzy and lightheaded, but his heart was filled with hatred.

After all... his equipment was gone! For a man, this was simply a supreme humiliation! From now on, he was afraid he would never be able to live like a normal man again; even when going to the bathroom, with his barrel already broken in half and the underside ripped open, he would likely have to squat down to do it.

Otherwise, it would probably flow down both of his thighs.

How could he face anyone in the future like this?

Especially since men usually just find a place to go to the bathroom together; this meant he would have to go to the bathroom alone and cautiously from now on.

Otherwise, if he were discovered, how could he face anyone?

In short... all of this made Tang San hate Ning Feiliu with an incomparable intensity.

However, his hatred was logical; after all, Ning Feiliu had destroyed his dream of being the head of a feudal clan.

But come to think of it, he had brought this upon himself; if he hadn't intended to come and steal Ning Feiliu's Steel Sun Box, would these things have happened?

To be honest, Ning Feiliu hadn't meant to target him.

On the contrary, if anyone else had dared to come and steal Ning Feiliu's things...

Ning Feiliu would likely have killed them on the spot.

Tang San having his magazines removed and his barrel ripped open while still keeping his life was purely because Ning Feiliu was wary of that old geezer, the Asura God.

He didn't really care much about Tang Hao either, after all, he had Xue Di.

No matter how awesome Tang Hao was, could he beat Xue Di, who had 600,000 years of cultivation? Especially in his half-crippled state.

So Tang San could already be considered to have had his life spared.

But that didn't prevent him from definitely hating Ning Feiliu; one could only say that pitiful people must have their detestable aspects.

He was very pitiful now, and it was normal for him to hate Ning Feiliu, but all of this was brought upon himself.

"Ning Feiliu..." Tang San said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Ning Feiliu..." Tang San's eyes were filled with killing intent as he said this through gritted teeth.

……

Ning Feiliu intended to return to his room to nap for a while; after all, the matter regarding Tang San made it impossible for him to continue cultivating even if he wanted to.

After all, if he were to think of this matter halfway through his cultivation, he would burst out laughing on the spot and interrupt the flow of the Moonlight Breathing Method.

So... it was better to just sleep.

It was just that he was still giggling happily.

Even Xue Di, who was inside his body, felt that he was a bit strange.

However, just at this moment...

"Someone is here." Xue Di suddenly appeared again, then spoke toward the direction of the balcony.

"Someone is here?" Ning Feiliu, who had been laughing happily because of this matter with Tang San, also sensed the aura outside at this moment.

Instantly, his face returned to a calm state, and he said, "Come in."

"Eh, I was discovered..." A crunching sound came from outside the balcony, and then a familiar figure appeared.

Those long legs, that ponytail—it was none other than Xiao Wu.

"What? Are you here to take revenge for your brother?" Ning Feiliu said indifferently.

However, Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "My brother? It wouldn't go as far as revenge... but what you did during the day was indeed very wrong, though it doesn't warrant retaliation against you."

Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You don't know what happened?"

"Could it be that something happened between you and my brother before?" Xiao Wu asked, widening her eyes and frowning.

"Heh, forget it, go back and ask him and you'll know." Ning Feiliu gave a playful laugh and then said. Though he estimated that Tang San would not tell her what happened, after all... that was a supreme humiliation for a man.

Especially for someone like Tang San, a typical old-fashioned feudalist who acted like a typical patriarch in the Peerless Tang Sect; he absolutely could not accept that he had lost that piece of equipment.

He would also not tell Xiao Wu about these things.

"What exactly happened! Tell me!" Xiao Wu asked anxiously, widening her eyes.

She really cared about Tang San.

However, Ning Feiliu gave a teasing laugh and said, "In any case, he is not dead yet; you can just go ask him when the time comes."

Xiao Wu bit her lip, but she still decided to let it go for now.

Because her most important purpose for coming tonight was actually to ask about Xue Di.

"Alright then, but I would like to ask, what is going on with you..." Xiao Wu looked at Xue Di and asked, biting her lip.

Xue Di looked at Ning Feiliu and said, "Should I tell her?"

"Don't tell her, because it is meaningless." Ning Feiliu shook his head and said, "Alright, you should go back, Miss Rabbit. After all, given your identity, I advise you not to be so love-brained; you should go back where you came from."

Xiao Wu widened her eyes; she looked at Ning Feiliu with curiosity and said with some wariness, "You know my identity?"

"Xue Di is already here, do you think I wouldn't know? Miss Soft Bone Rabbit." Ning Feiliu said with a smile, "But it is a pity that I am not interested in you; you are too weak."

His goals were still those Beasts; as of now, the Sun Moon Continent was still very far away, so he could not count on Xie Di.

But there were Di Tian, who might be sleeping in the deep core of Star Lake, Bing Di and A Tai from the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North, and Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Chi Wang, who should be scattered throughout the Star Dou Great Forest...

And there were also the Azure Bull Python and Titan, who were all much stronger than Xiao Wu.

Plus, he could replace his Soul Rings, so he was really in no rush.

Nine Soul Rings; among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, excluding Xie Di, that made exactly nine spots. If that didn't work, he could even add the Azure Bull Python and Titan.

So he could ignore Xiao Wu.

The main thing was, even though he had absorbed many Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and had absorbed Xue Di's Soul Ring and soul bone, if he were to forcibly absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast's ring—not in the same situation as Xue Di—

it was estimated that there would still be some risks.

Xiao Wu probably wouldn't take the initiative to sacrifice herself for him, so it was better to just forget it for now.

Hearing what he said, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but upon thinking about it carefully, she felt a bit indignant.

This Ning Feiliu... what did he mean?!

As a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, could she also be looked down upon?! It was simply pure humiliation.

Although compared to Xue Di, she could indeed feel that she was far inferior.

But what right did this human have to look down on her?!

Xiao Wu felt indignant.

However, she was still very curious about what was going on with Xue Di.

It was as if she had sacrificed her Soul Ring and soul bone to Ning Feiliu, yet not only could she retain her consciousness, but she could also manifest into a physical form.

This was something she had never seen before.

"I still want to know... this Senior Xue Di... what exactly is going on?" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and said.

"Why should I tell you?" Ning Feiliu looked at her with an indifferent gaze.

"Why?" Xiao Wu was stunned.

That's right, why would Ning Feiliu tell her about this situation?

But...

"Since we are both Soul Beasts, we should help each other..." Xiao Wu looked at Xue Di, using the logic of the greater good of Soul Beasts.

However, Xue Di glanced at her indifferently, "Soul Beasts do not necessarily help each other. Just as A Liu said, I also have no obligation to help you."

Among Soul Beasts, there were still instances of mutual devouring and hunting; to speak of helping each other...

It was merely a beautiful fantasy held by Xiao Wu, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast who had been protected in a greenhouse by her parents, the Azure Bull Python, and Titan.

"How could it be like this... we are all Soul Beasts..." Xiao Wu said, unwilling to accept this.

"You saw it too; in any case, unless you can offer some benefits, why should we tell you?" Ning Feiliu felt bored and waved his hand.

The main thing was, what benefits could Xiao Wu give him?

Aside from Xiao Wu herself, she had no other value whatsoever.

It can only be said that unless Xiao Wu sacrifices herself to Ning Feiliu as a Soul Ring and soul bone, she would certainly be gone.

Ning Feiliu also does not want to have a Soul Spirit like Xiao Wu.

She is simply too childish, too prone to acting cute, and too annoying in daily life.

He does not have as good a temper as Tang San.

Therefore, it is impossible for Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself to him.

In short, Xiao Wu has no value for Ning Feiliu to tell her about Soul Spirits.

Just let her sacrifice herself to Tang San later, and then, without the protection of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, let her be completely reduced to ashes.

This might even be considered a good thing.

"No! You must tell me today! Otherwise, I'm not leaving." Seeing this situation, Xiao Wu wanted to use a shameless tactic to force Ning Feiliu to tell her about this matter.

However...

"Get lost." Ning Feiliu's soul power and Samsara Domain combined once again, sweeping Xiao Wu out of the balcony.

Xiao Wu almost fell and landed on her bottom, but as a Spirit Master, she was surprisingly unafraid of the dozen-meter height; her flexibility was quite good, and she landed steadily, albeit with a slight stagger.

It was just that she was still very unwilling to give up, looking toward the balcony of the room where Ning Feiliu was.

But she knew that pestering him was useless; she would not be Ning Feiliu's opponent.

However... she still had a helper!

But for now, she should go back first, and it would be just right to ask San Ge exactly what happened between him and Ning Feiliu.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and she immediately ran back to the dilapidated little village where Shrek Academy was located.

Just at this moment, she happened to see...

Tang San, who had a ferocious expression on his face and whose lower body seemed slightly thicker than usual, appearing inside the academy, seemingly preparing to wash up.

"Ge!" She immediately rushed over and then asked suspiciously, "What happened to you?"

"N-nothing." Tang San took a deep breath and then pretended that nothing was wrong, clamping his legs together so that it wouldn't look like there was a problem down there, fearing that Xiao Wu would notice something was wrong with his lower body.

Then he changed the subject and said, seemingly angrily, "That's not right! Xiao Wu, didn't I tell you to come back yesterday? Why... did you only return to the academy now?"

"Uh... I just went out to play for a bit..." Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue, intending to act cute to get away with it.

"Xiao Wu, how could you be so reckless!" Tang San looked very angry on the surface, but in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief; that was close, Xiao Wu should not have discovered his situation.

But just at this moment...

"Alright! Ge!" Xiao Wu hopped and skipped, then leaped into Tang San's embrace, her entire body wrapping her legs around Tang San's waist.

This was their daily way of interacting, and in the past, Tang San would absolutely not have minded.

But now, Xiao Wu's whole body pressed up against him, and her perky little bottom even touched his injured area.

Instantly, his face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't help but gasp in a breath of cold air.

"Ge? What's wrong with you?" Very quickly, Xiao Wu, facing him, discovered that Tang San's expression was not right and asked hurriedly.
