Seeing Tang San concede, Tianlin stepped down from the stage and helped up Yu Tianheng, who had been knocked unconscious. The two agility-type Soul Masters, the Shi Brothers, each carried one and headed towards their resting room.
Who knew that as soon as they entered the room, Yu Tianheng pushed Tianlin away. "Good you, Xiao Tian, I've lost so much face because of you today."
"That's right, if the senior sisters and junior sisters in the academy find out that I was knocked off the stage by a Soul Grandmaster, how embarrassing would that be?" Oslo and Yu Feng also jumped down from the Shi Brothers' backs, looking completely fine.
Clearly, these three guys were faking it. Otherwise, how could Tang San, a mere Soul Grandmaster, defeat three Soul Ancestors?
Even Huan Yin's Second Spirit Ability wasn't charged to its limit. Otherwise, relying solely on the second level of the Purple Demon Eyes might not have been enough to see through it.
All of this was to highlight Tang San's strength and his ability to see through illusions, thereby attracting Shi Nian's attention so that he could use Tang San as bait.
Taking advantage of Tang Hao's absence was the best time to strike.
Tianlin smiled and patted their shoulders, comforting them, "Alright, I'll compensate you. Tian Heng, the bottle of True Origin Pill I promised you, I'll definitely have someone deliver it after the competition. And Oslo, I'll waive the debt you owe me and Gu Ran, but I can't make decisions for Senior Sister Ye Lingling, so you'll have to discuss it with her yourself."
"That's more like it." Yu Tianheng nodded in satisfaction. The True Origin Pill and the Xuan Yuan Pill that Tianlin gave to Tang San had similar appearances and names, but their effects were vastly different. The Medicinal Herbs used to refine the True Origin Pill were all rare and precious, with astonishing medicinal effects. Therefore, the Soul Power enhanced by the True Origin Pill was incredibly condensed and didn't damage the foundation, making it a treasure for assisting low and mid-level Soul Masters in their cultivation.
This Pill was useless to Yu Tianheng, who was now close to being a Soul King, but he could take it back to assist the younger generation in the sect with their cultivation. Compared to the sect's development, what did his face matter?
As for Oslo, losing face was worth it to be free from a huge debt. He felt it was very worthwhile. At this moment, he was finally free from debt. As for Ye Lingling's side, he would be able to pay it off soon. After all, his family was considered a small noble family. Even if they weren't as wealthy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they could still scrape together a few hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins with frugality.
"Well then, I have some things to do and need to leave for a bit. See you!" Tianlin walked out of the Royal Fight resting room and headed towards the Shrek side.
With his mental power, he had already noticed that there was a mental-type Soul Master with considerable strength locking onto the Shrek side. Needless to say, it must be Shi Nian. However, although the hostility was strong, the killing intent wasn't intense enough. That wouldn't do.
At this moment, the Shrek team was about to return. Tianlin immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Tang, please wait."
"Ah, Brother Sword, why are you here?" Ning Rongrong excitedly threw herself into Tianlin's arms. She had missed him so much during this time of avoiding suspicion.
"Rongrong, be good. I have important matters to discuss with Brother Tang. You go back with Dean Flander and the others first." Tianlin winked at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong had been with Tianlin for so long that she immediately understood his intentions. Tianlin never gave a good face to those he had fallen out with. Now that he suddenly came to see Tang San again, he was most likely trying to trick him.
Although Tang San was her classmate, they were far from being friends. Tianlin's position in her heart was much more important, so she followed Tianlin's words and said, "Okay, then Brother Sword, you have to come see me again."
"Mm!" Tianlin nodded at her and walked towards Tang San, saying, "Brother Tang, would you do me the honor of finding a place to chat alone?"
Tang San hesitated for a moment, but thinking that he would eventually subdue the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it wouldn't hurt to chat with Tianlin first. "Teacher, in that case, you go back first. I'll be back in a while."
"Alright, don't stay out too long," Grandmaster instructed, then looked at Tianlin, said nothing, and snorted coldly before turning to leave.
It seemed he was still holding a grudge against Tianlin for what happened that day.
Tianlin didn't bother to pay attention to him. He took Tang San to an empty resting room and sat down directly opposite him. Tang San said directly, "Brother Jun, speak plainly. If it's about cooperation, then forget it. You insulted my teacher so much last time, I will definitely seek justice."
"Hmph, justice. If I had another chance, I would still say the same thing. As for cooperating with you, if you don't want to, then so be it. I'm here today just to repay you for the last favor." Saying that, Tianlin took out a Treasure Box from his belt. "Since the cooperation is terminated, then your blueprints should also be returned, but that thing is very useful to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so I'm here today to completely buy it out from you. The value of the things in the box should be enough, right?"
Tang San was a little puzzled when he heard this. Hadn't Tianlin already paid? Why did he have to come and buy it again specifically? "Don't be surprised. Don't I know that the actual price of the blueprints you gave me is far above that amount of money? It was only because of the cooperation that it was sold relatively cheaply, but my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect never takes advantage of others. What we owe, we will definitely return. After today, you and I will be completely clear." Tianlin said seriously.
Hearing this, Tang San changed his opinion of Tianlin quite a bit. Indeed, if it weren't for the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus cooperation, he wouldn't have sold it even for five million Gold Soul Coins. This Tianlin guy was quite principled. No wonder the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reputation had been getting better and better in recent years. It was all because of this point of not bullying others.
It was a pity that in Tang San's heart, Tianlin was still too naive. No matter how many benefits he gave himself, his heart would not change. The Hidden Weapon blueprints belonging to the Tang Sect must be taken back. Since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already seen them, then he would subdue the entire sect along with it.
Of course, that was a matter for the future. Now, he still had to pretend.
"In that case, then I won't be polite." Tang San accepted the box with peace of mind.
Opening the Treasure Box, inside was actually a Spirit Bone, precisely the Poison Attribute Skull within Tianlin's sect that had never been used. Tang San's breathing became heavy with excitement. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that it contained a considerable amount of poison attribute and its compatibility with him was not bad.
Tianlin also sensed that Tang San wasn't the only one whose heart was racing at this moment; the person in the shadows was too. Tianlin took out the Spirit Bone, precisely to further attract Shi Nian. Although he already had a skull Spirit Bone, no one would complain about having too many Spirit Bones. Even if he couldn't use it, he could exchange it for other body parts. A skull is more precious than limbs, so there's a chance to exchange it for suitable limb Spirit Bones.
"Brother Jun, then our matter is written off. Farewell." Tang San couldn't wait to leave. He just wanted to find a safe place to properly absorb this Spirit Bone, which should allow him to directly break through to level 40.
Tianlin remained seated in the lounge, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. "Shi Nian, Tang San, my Spirit Bones aren't so easy to take. You must be prepared to pay the price!"
