Han Yuan hovered in the sky, flapping his Silver Thunderlight Wings as he watched Zhao Wuji and Flender struggle. Facing the three bizarre spirit beasts, the well-known Motionless Bright King and the Flying Corner of the Golden Iron Triangle couldn't help but feel they were animals on chopping blocks.
Zhao Wuji fought with the Yang-Seeking Gorilla fiercely, hoping he could consume the spirit beast's stamina before running away from this damned place. Meanwhile, Flender paled because the Body-Binding Snake sucked some of his liquid-turn bones, which made his body severely weaker than it was supposed to be.
However, both are more concerned about the Wood Piercer Beast. This odd spirit beast doesn't waste time to impale them with its wood spikes, which could suck their lives away.
"Fucking hell, Flender! Why did I agree to come to this cursed place with you?" Zhao Wuji roared in anger.
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck that brat, Tang San!"
"Fuck that pretentious friend of yours, Trash Gang!"
"He doesn't deserve the title of Grandmaster!"
"FUCK THAT TEACHER DISCIPLE! I HOPE THEY STUMBLE ON THEIR STEPS AND GET THEIR BALLS CRUSHED BY ROCK!"
Hearing this, Flender smiled bitterly. He wasn't that furious at Zhao Wuji because of his outburst because Yu Xiaogang and Tang San went too far by abandoning them, though it was the correct move.
Was he angry, too?
Of course, he was!
However, Flender is more disappointed than angry.
He had known Yu Xiaogang for years and knew what kind of person he was. While somewhat cowardly and stubborn with low self-esteem, his best friend possessed an intelligent mind.
Yet his friend changed so much.
Although Flender and Yu Xiaogang have exchanged letters, neither knew about each other's living conditions. So, Flender wouldn't have known that his friend had become a worse human being than before.
Eventually, the Wood Piercer Beast's attack impaled them in the air and caused the ground to become red.
Han Yuan watched this and smiled faintly, "Unfortunately, you guys can't die yet. As pawns on the board, I decided your life and death."
Han Yuan snapped his finger, and fleeting bio-electricity enhanced with spiritual power struck the ground below, freezing the three bizarre spirit beasts and the dying Zhao Wuji and Flender.
This application of powers allowed Han Yuan to manipulate the bodies and minds of others. He called it Electro Puppetry, and he can improve this even more with Secret of Souls.
Then, Han Yuan fused "Demonic Pill" into Zhao Wuji and Flender's origins and exploited their personality traits, making it more extreme, as he did to Yu Xiaogang three years ago, whether it was arrogance or greed.
After that, Han Yuan casually ordered the three bizarre spirit beasts to return to their homes and then left Zhao Wuji and Flender cuddling with each other.
Hehe, another gift for Tang San!
"Talking about that faker, he should have taken the "safest" route I made for him." Han Yuan chuckled. "I made sure his Purple Demon Eyes could see the easiest way to get out of the Mixed Region."
With that in mind, Han Yuan flashed several miles away and arrived above the nest of the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Tang San was busy firing arrows with his Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and Yu Xiaogang hid behind him like a damsel in distress. No matter how Han Yuan saw it, he couldn't help but feel amused.
"Xiao San, be careful!" Yu Xiaogang squealed. "Fire that one on the left, and don't forget the spider on the right!"
Tang San's mouth twitched slightly because his teacher was really giving him a headache. But he couldn't do anything about it because their dire situation forced him to maintain focus.
After continuously firing one bolt after another at a group of Man-Faced Demon Spiders, Tang San's heart bled because making these arrows isn't easy and cheap. He had to stay all night for months to make them.
The Man-Faced Demon Spiders died before the Godly Zhuge Crossbow's powers, but Tang San and Yu Xiaogang quickly realized the number of spiders exceeded their expectation.
A particular Man-Faced Demon Spider dodged every bolt Tang San fired and launched a poison bomb wrapped in spiderwebs, which shocked Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiao San, dodge!" shouted Yu Xiaogang.
However, it was too late. The spiderwebs scattered and splattered the eroding poison everywhere. Some touched Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, poisoning them immediately.
Yu Xiaogang screamed in pain, "Arrrrghhh!"
Tang San barely held on and summoned his Clear Sky Hammer, rushing toward that particular Man-Faced Demon Spider and attacking it using Tang Sect's Controlling Crane and Capturing Dragon.
"Attacking my teacher! You have the way of death!" Tang San screamed as he swung his hammer.
BOOOM!
The particular Man-Faced Demon Spider's head got smashed to pieces under the Clear Sky Hammer's immense weight, and then a dark yellow spirit ring floated out.
Tang San fell to the ground and saw the dark yellow spirit ring, "Teacher said my second spirit ring must be 700 or 800 years old, so this one should do..."
"Must do it... For my teacher!" He slowly crawled to the dark yellow spirit ring and summoned his Blue Silver Grass, which was no longer restrained and limp because Ah Yin was busy beating Tang Hao up.
Then, Tang San used his Mysterious Heaven Skill to meditate and absorb the dark yellow spirit ring, not caring about the remaining Man-Faced Demon Spider and his dear teacher, Yu Xiaogang, in the slightest.
Unknown to Tang San, this was a trap Han Yuan left for him.
Han Yuan watched this and chuckled, "As expected of someone who stole my protagonist's luck. The amount of plot armor Asura gave you is impressive as hell."
"Well, let's start the experiment, shall we?"
If we followed the OG's plot and Asura's help from the shadow, Tang San would get an external spirit bone from this Man-Faced Demon Spider as if he was 'literally' destined for it.
Han Yuan, of course, wouldn't let that happen. He observed Tang San and noticed the Man-Faced Demon Spider's origin gradually invading the Blue Silver Grass's origin, weakening and dominating the Blue Silver Emperor's factor like flame to fuel.
But this was only surface level because, from the soul perspective, Han Yuan could see red mist covering the Man-Faced Demon Spider's origin and turning it into a spirit bone.
The red mist is none other than Asura's instinct to protect and help Tang San reach his speed. Thankfully, this instinct doesn't possess any will, so Han Yuan's actions wouldn't get discovered.
In his disguised form, Han Yuan stepped in and knocked Yu Xiaogang out cold. He glanced at the infamous Grandmaster and snorted because this guy didn't need another lesson. He's miserable enough for now.
Han Yuan focused on Tang San and clicked his tongue, 'Tsk, it would be nice if I could smack your face a few times, but that was supposed to be my body. Unfortunately, I can't directly harm you, or the safety protocol Asura left will be triggered.'
'Hehe, I'm sure you learned from Asura and did the same when Tang Wutong and Tang Wulin went down to the mortal world. I pity their partners.'
'Imagining having your father-in-law c*ckblocking you.'
'Personally, I won't take that disrespect.'
'Kukuku, I might not be able to teach you a lesson directly, but giving you some emotional damage is still possible!' Han Yuan laughed evilly in his heart.
Using True Spirituality Art and Secrets of Soul, Han Yuan made a subtle dream-like illusion for Tang San, which trapped him in the same scenario until he admitted he was wrong.
Then, another scenario started. By the way, Tang San felt every pain he experienced in the illusion. Han Yuan even enhanced Tang San's pain by 100 times.
In one scenario, Tang San fell off the cliff while self-righteously said he wouldn't desecrate Tang Sect's legacy before exploding alongside the Buddha Fury's Tang Lotus.
Tang San's stubbornness led to his countless deaths before he finally admitted to stealing the secret techniques of the Tang Sect for his own personal gain. In a fit of arrogance, he dismissed the Sect's teachings before ending the scenario with laughter and an explosion.
In another scenario, Tang San found himself acknowledging his love for his teacher, Yu Xiaogang. Otherwise, he would repeat the same thing over and over again.
MWUAHAHAHA!
Han Yuan used these dream scenarios to extract information from Tang San, such as Tang Sect's Secret Techniques, Mechanical Weapons, and Secret Weapons.
Fortunately, these skills are now in better hands.
Lastly, Han Yuan modified the external spirit bone Tang San got from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, turning it into Spider's Facial Hairs instead of the Eight Spider Lances, hoping to make the sucker suffer more.
The Spider's Facial Hairs Spirit Bone still has the "Devouring" spirit skill, as Han Yuan wanted Tang San to walk on the path of the Evil Spirit Master and make him a public enemy in the future.
Besides that, Han Yuan also threw a little extra surprise for Tang San.
Han Yuan looked at the pained Tang San on the ground, spitting blood left and right due to his violence and disgusting dreams. He smirked, "Hehe, we are just getting started..."
"I will gradually make you feel your second life isn't a blessing but a curse."
Not long after, Ah Yin came to Han Yuan's side. She glanced at Tang San in disgust and then asked sweetly, "Honey, are you done with this trash faker~?"
Han Yuan nodded calmly, "Well, that should do for now."
Ah Yin hugged Han Yuan's right arm, "That's good! Let's continue our journey. Why don't we take a look at the Star Luo Empire? It's nearby anyway."
"Sure..." Han Yuan replied, thinking about a certain "cat" girl.
After that, Han Yuan and Ah Yin left the miserable teacher and disciple in the forest. They knew those two wouldn't die because of Asura.
...
Meanwhile, Asura fumed in his temple because the Son of Destiny's luck was dropping again. At this point, his plan would fail.
Unfortunately, Asura's access to the lower realm was monitored by other Gods.
"Damn you, Destruction!"
