Tang San stayed up all night and quietly got out of bed near the end of the Chou hour (1-3 AM). He glanced at Oscar, who was still asleep, and silently left the room.
This was over an hour earlier than his usual morning training time, and he was absolutely certain that no one would be wandering around outside at this hour.
He began his routine morning jog through Notting City. When he passed a seemingly ordinary, desolate path, he suddenly stopped and started digging through a pile of dirt, retrieving several bottles and jars.
Looking at the transparent liquid inside the bottles, Tang San's eyes deepened with a dark intensity.
His original plan had been to kill Dai Mubai using poison.
But now, instead of killing him, he had decided to castrate him—not by personally wielding a knife to cut off Dai Mubai's genitals, but through... chemical castration.
'The method of poisoning doesn't need to change; only the ratio of the poison needs to be adjusted.'
Tang San quickly got to work.
He took out beakers, test tubes, and other equipment from his storage soul tool, and for a moment, it felt as though he had donned the aura of a chemistry teacher.
'So that's how it is.'
You Chen nodded silently: 'He wants to poison someone, doesn't he? And that someone is most likely Dai Mubai, right?'
You Chen's Divine Sense quickly swept over the potion Tang San was concocting, and his expression gradually became somewhat peculiar.
You Chen had once researched how to efficiently convert and absorb resources for Soul Masters, and he had some knowledge of pharmacology.
Strictly speaking, what Tang San was preparing couldn't be called poison.
But under certain special conditions, it could indeed deal a devastating blow to a man.
'Let's see if it really works that way.'
You Chen thought silently.
After completing the potion, Tang San poured the liquid into an extremely fine container and used a chemical reaction to crystallize it, forming an ultra-thin needle.
He quickly stored the needle in a cooling soul tool he had specially purchased from the Beast Soul Commerce and activated it, beginning the consumption of the soul power battery.
Then he continued his morning jog.
As he passed by a house, he leaped up with incredible speed, clinging to the second-floor wall like a spider. He took out the needle, opened the window with one hand, and his other hand suddenly took on a jade-like hue, emitting a faint chill. He aimed at the woman still sleeping in the bedroom and threw the needle with precision!
Whoosh!
The sound of the needle cutting through the air had barely registered when Tang San closed the window without even looking at the result and dropped back to the ground.
The entire process took only a few seconds.
Moreover, there were hardly any pedestrians at this time, and Tang San had deliberately surveyed the surroundings, so no one witnessed this scene.
Inside the bedroom of the house, the needle, almost invisible, accurately hit the woman's carotid artery. Upon contact, it immediately liquefied due to the body's temperature, completing the injection.
Because the needle was so thin and the woman was in a deep sleep, she didn't even feel any pain. However, as the potion slowly took effect, she shivered slightly.
"So that's how it is?"
Standing by the woman's bed, You Chen used his Divine Sense to investigate and then twitched the corner of his mouth.
Simply put, the potion Tang San had injected into the woman wouldn't cause any abnormalities under normal circumstances.
But once she entered a "particularly excited" state, her bodily fluids would contain a special substance.
This substance itself wasn't toxic, but if it reacted with a man's prostate, it would produce an extremely cold substance. This substance would then be absorbed in large quantities by the body, which was in a state of high heat, resulting in a surge of estrogen.
For women, this might only cause some temporary physiological discomfort, but for men... well, those who know, know.
You Chen's Divine Sense swept over the next room, where he found a twin sister who looked almost identical to the woman. Recalling Dai Mubai's debut in the original timeline, where he was seen with a woman on each arm, You Chen immediately understood what was going on.
An idea suddenly popped into You Chen's mind.
'If I add a little something extra now, Dai Mubai will drop dead, and Tang San will probably just think he messed up the potion ratio. Will he flee Shrek Academy out of unease, or will he stay despite the immense psychological pressure?'
In fact, he could even manipulate things so that Tang San's perfect crime would have a flaw.
With Tang San unable to find any evidence of his own involvement, he would have to conclude that he had made a mistake due to lack of rest or excessive bloodlust.
Then Tang San would be completely isolated.
Except for Yu Xiaogang, no one else would tolerate him.
'Forget it. Doing this would completely deviate his development path from the original timeline. It might seem like a way to mess with Tang San in the short term, but in the long run, it's hard to say. It's better to stick to the original plan and just observe Tang San.'
You Chen's Aura Concealment Art was now very close to perfection, and combined with his mental hypnosis, he could be as invisible as a ghost to most people in this world if he wanted to.
Just as he had entered, he left without alerting anyone.
The sun gradually rose, its light bathing the earth.
At Shrek Academy's training ground, Dai Mubai glanced at Tang San, who had dark circles under his eyes, and smirked: 'Looks like this kid didn't sleep well last night.'
But soon, recalling his own embarrassing display from the previous day, that bit of good mood vanished into thin air.
At the very least, showing such a pathetic side in front of Xiao Wu meant that Dai Mubai no longer had the face to continue pursuing her.
In a sense, Tang San's goal had indeed been achieved.
"Hmph."
Dai Mubai snorted coldly. Instead of continuing his training, he chose to leave the training ground.
When people are agitated, they tend to seek an outlet.
Recalling the pair of twins he had recently seduced, a sinister glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes. He licked his lips and decided to head to the battlefield.
Dai Mubai's blood was boiling as he let out a low growl, but then…
"Brother Mubai, what's wrong?"
The woman lying on the bed, eyes closed and seemingly ready for anything, opened her eyes in confusion.
Her twin sister, who had been massaging Dai Mubai's back, also leaned over his shoulder in confusion, then suddenly covered her mouth and blurted out, "Why did it go soft!?"
"Shut up!"
Dai Mubai roared, his powerful soul power directly sending the two girls flying, causing them to scream in pain.
Dai Mubai's furious demeanor frightened the two girls, who had only approached him because of his status as a Soul Master and his handsome appearance. Now they realized that the man they had been enjoying themselves with was a being with extraordinary power, fundamentally different from them in terms of life essence.
Their infatuation quickly faded, leaving only fear.
But Dai Mubai had no time to care about the twins' feelings.
His face was pale, his body trembling, and cold sweat poured out like rain, making his complexion grow even paler.
'What the hell is going on?'
He looked at himself, his mind a complete mess.
Dai Mubai carefully recalled the events of the day, the people he had come into contact with…
Suddenly, he turned his gaze to the two women, his face contorted, and said coldly, "Tell me, what did you do to me!?"
"N-nothing! Why would we do something like that?"
"Brother Mubai, what's wrong with you?"
The two women shivered, shaking their heads repeatedly.
Dai Mubai carefully observed their reactions. Knowing the twins as well as he did, he was aware that they were typical airheads who couldn't possibly hide anything in a situation like this. He concluded that they were probably telling the truth.
"Tang San, it must be Tang San!"
Dai Mubai gnashed his teeth, thinking of the only person he had clashed with recently, and let out a furious roar.
He had no evidence, but the lack of evidence didn't mean he couldn't point fingers!
Tang San believed he had covered all his tracks, and indeed, in this era, such a covert operation would be impossible to trace back to him.
But Tang San had forgotten that he wasn't the only one who could go off the rails.
"Tang San!"
There was no way Dai Mubai could let this go.
But recalling Tang San's Zhuge Divine Crossbow, Dai Mubai knew that if he pushed Tang San too far, he might not be able to handle the consequences.
But should he report this to their teacher?
To do so would mean admitting to Flender and the others that he had become a eunuch!
To prove he wasn't lying, he might even have to drop his pants in front of several teachers!
For Dai Mubai, this was also a great humiliation!
But when faced with two evils, one must choose the lesser.
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
…
"Huh? Senior Beast Soul, why have you suddenly appeared again?"
Ning Rongrong was reading a book when a shadow suddenly covered the text. She looked up and saw the familiar pixelated figure.
"Not bad."
You Chen glanced at the book Ning Rongrong was reading and nodded in satisfaction: "You've taken my advice to heart. Grandmaster You Chen's book 'Foundations of Cultivation' is indeed worth reading. However, I suggest you start with another book. Oh, wait, I almost forgot the main point."
You Chen grinned slyly: "Little Ning, there's some drama going on at Shrek Academy. Want me to take you to see it?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately lit up with excitement. She snapped the book shut: "Yes, yes, let's go!"
"Haha!"
Getting an instant response, You Chen laughed heartily. He enveloped Ning Rongrong in his soul power and flew out of the Seven Treasure Commerce.
The Sword and Bone Douluo had once fulfilled Ning Rongrong's wish to fly, so being carried through the air didn't surprise her.
However, she was amazed by the speed at which the scenery around her blurred past. In just three seconds, they had landed.
"So fast!"
Ning Rongrong exclaimed, then noticed the two figures in front of her.
Both of whom she had just seen the day before.
They were Flender and Dai Mubai.
You Chen's speed was indeed abnormally fast, but Ning Rongrong was quickly distracted by the conversation between the two.
Mainly because she couldn't quite grasp the difference in speed compared to her two grandfathers, only knowing that the distance between the Seven Treasure Commerce and Shrek Academy, plus the act of entering the building, was something even Chen Xin couldn't have accomplished.
But… so what? They were all people she couldn't possibly defeat, so there was no point in thinking about it.
Ning Rongrong's attention was fully captured by the two men in front of her, and she listened intently.
"It's definitely Tang San! It couldn't be anyone else!" Dai Mubai roared.
Flender looked helpless: "Mubai, while poison techniques are rarely used, they're not something only Tang San knows. Do you have any evidence?"
To be honest, Flender was also greatly shocked when he heard Dai Mubai's claim, but his immediate reaction was disbelief.
I mean, if you were a teacher and a student came to your office on the second day of class claiming that another student had castrated him, wouldn't you find it hard to believe too?
Dai Mubai said with a pained expression: "But the only person I've had a conflict with is him. He must have been dissatisfied with your decision yesterday and decided to take revenge on me!"
Flender frowned: "Mubai, are you saying this is my fault?"
"N-no, that's not what I meant."
Dai Mubai's voice unexpectedly took on a somewhat effeminate tone, and his eyes even welled up with tears: "But, after all, he… he did that to me!"
Looking at Dai Mubai like this, Flender felt a sudden chill and quickly said: "You're saying that in just one day, Tang San managed to poison you and render you… like this, without anyone noticing? Putting aside the motive, the timing doesn't add up. Even if he wanted to commit such a crime, he'd need preparation time, right? At the end of the day, this is just hard to believe."
As he spoke, he already had the intention of sending Dai Mubai away.
Dai Mubai's eyes widened slightly: "Principal, so you still don't believe me!?"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and finally decided to go all out. He pulled down his pants!
Ning Rongrong, who had been listening to their conversation, was still somewhat confused, only vaguely understanding that Tang San seemed to have secretly plotted against Dai Mubai.
This kind of backstabbing and scheming between classmates excited Ning Rongrong, who had always been forced to play nice within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School while secretly harboring a rebellious streak.
As she listened, she saw Dai Mubai make this move.
"Ah!"
Ning Rongrong quickly covered her eyes and let out a scream.
If it weren't for You Chen's hypnosis masking their presence, making Flender and Dai Mubai naturally ignore the sound, they would have been discovered immediately.
You Chen, standing beside her, said: "Don't scream. I've pixelated it."
"Pixelated?"
Ning Rongrong was puzzled but cautiously opened her eyes. She saw that Dai Mubai's lower body was completely blurred and distorted, making it impossible to see anything.
This was different from the pixelation You Chen had applied to his own face, which still left a general impression. This was a complete pixelation with no trace of what was underneath.
Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a slight sense of disappointment.
After all, she had never seen the real thing before.
"Oh, so that's what pixelation is, huh?"
Ning Rongrong acknowledged, then asked in confusion: "So, what exactly happened to Dai Mubai? Didn't he accuse Tang San of poisoning him? Why did he take off his pants?"
You Chen gave Ning Rongrong a meaningful look and said softly: "What do you think it means when a man takes off his pants? The poison Tang San gave him makes it so he can never perform as a man again."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened as if she had just seen a whole new world: "Really? Wait, Senior Beast Soul, did you just explicitly say that Tang San poisoned Dai Mubai?"
Ning Rongrong gave You Chen a sidelong glance: "As a peerless expert, don't you think you're a bit too idle, focusing on such things?"
"Hmph. I'm showing you a good show, and instead of being grateful, you're slandering me?"
You Chen snorted: "You little brat, as a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Soul Master who cultivates spiritual power, don't you know that once your spiritual power is strong enough, you can perceive your surroundings with incredible clarity, sensing things before they even happen?"
