Atop the Buddha statue, Qin Feng glanced from afar at the disheveled Tang San and the Yu Xiaogang, who was nearly scared out of his wits, a leisurely light flickering in his eyes.
His personality leaned towards caution, and he wasn't particularly fond of showing off, let alone displaying skills that could serve as trump cards for a considerable time.
But alas, he was simply too curious about how beautiful the Weituo Flower spirit master would look after reaching level forty and breaking through to become a Spirit Saint.
He was preparing to challenge his own weakness.
Since their relationship had just been established, he could only display a tiny bit of his potential to the Zhou family, letting them know they hadn't backed the wrong person.
However, Qin Feng's gaze never lingered on Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yu'an, the grandfather and granddaughter, but instead, he looked at Tang San with a hint of disappointment:
"Little San, if I remember correctly, I believe I just saved you and your teacher's lives yesterday, right?
Yu Xiaogang didn't even release a single spirit ability before being directly poisoned and falling unconscious,
Your attack only left a small hole on the snake's face before you were sprayed directly with venom, causing severe corrosion to seventy percent of your skin,
A whole row of pits on your ribs, exposing even your liver and intestines.
If I hadn't intervened, you would probably have been digested to the point where not even bone fragments remained, so what future are you talking about?
But your first reaction after obtaining a spirit ability was to come and flaunt your power, wanting to step on me and repay kindness with enmity.
I once thought we would be fellow travelers,
But now, I am truly disappointed with your behavior, and our friendship ends here."
As Qin Feng spoke, the Buddha statue beneath his feet instantly shattered into countless specks of light and disappeared.
He lightly landed on the ground and walked towards the carriage without looking back. Behind him, Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yu'an glanced at Tang San with some curiosity and hurried to catch up.
Having free labor, there was naturally no need to hire another carriage.
Zhou Huaian was responsible for driving, while Qin Feng and Zhou Yu'an sat inside the carriage, enjoying the journey.
Gazing at the distant forest scenery, a comfortable smile appeared on Qin Feng's face.
Previously, for the sake of Tang Hao's forging skills and to lay enough groundwork for continuing to trick Tang San in the future, he hadn't shown too much hostility towards Tang San too early.
But now that he had obtained everything he wanted, it would be too disgusting to continue pretending.
Formally making the cut was already the greatest joy,
Not to mention, a new achievement had appeared on the virtual screen.
[You concealed your strength, causing Tang San to misjudge and rashly challenge you, resulting in serious injuries, achieving the special plot achievement [Nine Pits Tang San]]
[Pitiful Level: Intermediate]
[Gained Plot Points 10,0000]
[Current Plot Points Accumulated: 190,0000]
...
On the spot, Tang San circulated Mysterious Heaven Skill, Trying hard to calm the shock of qi, blood and organs.
Although that attack hadn't directly hit him just now, the surrounding area of the impacted location trembled extremely violently, and a piece of earth and stone that was splashed up happened to hit his back.
Two ribs were broken, his back was in immense pain, and his qi and blood were difficult to calm for a long time.
After a moment, he stopped healing and looked somewhat blankly at Da Shi,
"Teacher, did I really do something wrong?"
As bing qing yu jie said this, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly changed drastically,
In a direction that the disciple couldn't see, it was gloomy as if he wanted to kill someone.
His eyes were spitting fire, his teeth were clenched tightly, and the determination flickering in his eyes made one not doubt that if he could do it, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the raging anger in his heart,
Now, Tang San was his precious treasure,
No matter who it was, if they wanted to snatch this disciple away from him through any means, he would resolutely counterattack.
"Get in the carriage first."
There were a few people around, so Grandmaster didn't say it directly on the spot.
After entering the carriage, closing the door, and ensuring that others couldn't hear, a wise light flickered in his eyes, and he gently stroked Tang San's hair with his palm, saying:
"Little San ah, you must understand that no matter how strong Qin Feng seems now, his future is already destined, and it's impossible for him to be on par with you,
Just looking at how Teacher has been stuck at level twenty-nine for so many years, you should know that some things can't be compensated for by mere intelligence.
A mere level two spirit master talent can't be compared to innate full soul power at all,
The gap between these two isn't simply five times, but countless times. The cultivation speed and the ultimate limit that can be reached are worlds apart, completely not in the same world."
"Furthermore, don't be deceived by Qin Feng. Everything today is a conspiracy he planned from the beginning.
Think carefully, did Qin Feng take the initiative to come hunting soul with us? He's not your anything, so why would he care so much about this matter? Is it really just concern for you?
Also, the knowledge that Qin Feng showed at the Hunting Soul Forest entrance yesterday, can a normal six-year-old child casually possess that?
Clearly living in the same ordinary small mountain village as you, and there hasn't been a special need in this regard in the past, everyone should be the same.
The only possibility is that he made careful preparations in advance in order to set a trap for you, and specifically went to learn and understand."
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly exclaimed:
"Teacher, now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered,
On his first day at the school, he asked someone about the location of the school's library, and then Xiao Chenyu took him there,
But, we are roommates, why would he do this?"
"Silly child, Teacher is the Spirit Master's World's famous spirit theory grandmaster. No one can surpass me in the research of spirit theory.
When he sees you, whose strength is inferior to his, actually being accepted as my personal disciple, can he not be jealous and resentful?
Qin Feng should be hoping to use this method to sow discord between you and me, and after you misunderstand me or I am disappointed in you, he can suddenly take advantage of the situation.
Unfortunately, Teacher isn't a pushover either. He saw through this sinister scheme at once. Haha, it's simply impossible to fall for it."
A trace of a cold smile hung on Yu Xiaogang's lips, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.
Qin Feng ah Qin Feng, don't blame me for being insidious, you were the one who provoked me first.
I regard Tang San as my greatest reliance for turning over and making a name for myself in the future, and you actually want to take him away from me time and time again. You have a death wish.
After a moment of grim expression, Yu Xiaogang continued:
"Moreover, you are innate full soul power ah. If you cultivate diligently, you will definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future. Qin Feng is so smart, how could he not know your potential and value?
He wants to make you feel grateful to him through some small favors, so as to turn you into his tool or even a slave to drive and utilize.
I ask you, does Qin Feng know that we can't defeat a hundred-year spirit beast?
Judging from his performance at the Hunting Soul Forest entrance, he obviously knows, right?
But when that Silver Ring Snake came out, he didn't immediately take action, but waited until we were both seriously injured before slowly making a move, and even hypocritically said that he had saved our lives,
Bullshit!
This whole thing is a conspiracy from start to finish, just like the Spirit Hall giving subsidies to spirit masters. Thank you for your kindness, if you are grateful to him, it is equivalent to falling into the trap.
Little San, you are a smart child, right?"
"Yes."
Tang San nodded vigorously,
Feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart, he felt that it was indeed his teacher, who could even discover and expose such a meticulous conspiracy.
And that Qin Feng, he was simply too hateful. Everyone was friends from the same village, yet he used such sinister schemes to plot.
It seemed that he couldn't have any more sympathy for him in the future.
