Chapter 13: Redemption of the Simp and the Gold Digger! Han Li Sets His Sights on the Ancestral Talisman

"These people are pushing me too far..."

Watching the bullet comments sent by Lin Dong and the others, Tang San could not help but fly into a rage.

He felt that Han Li definitely didn't want to give him the spiritual liquid, which was why he had intentionally belittled his "Crane-Controlling Dragon-Seizing" technique.

As for Lin Dong and the others, they were either deliberately targeting him, or they were acting sycophantic toward Han Li and speaking nonsense just to secure more spiritual liquid from him next time after seeing him disparage the Tang Sect's absolute technique.

"Those bastards! Once I achieve the position of God-King, I will make you all regret this!"

Tang San gnashed his teeth, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

He clenched his fists, and the soul power within his body began to surge out like a violent tide. The terrifying airwaves rolled out, actually blowing the door of the men's restroom directly off its hinges.

"Holy crap, who's in there? Can someone really blow a door off just by taking a dump?"

Oscar happened to be running in to use the restroom at that moment, clutching his belt, and was nearly hit by the flying toilet door.

"Crap, someone's coming."

Tang San didn't have time to wipe; he hurriedly finished up, pulled up his pants, and walked out of the stall as if nothing had happened.

"Xiao San? Why are you in there? You weren't the one who just blew the door off while pooping, were you?"

Oscar was somewhat surprised to see Tang San walking out of the restroom and quickly asked.

"My level has recently made a breakthrough. I didn't control my strength properly when I pushed the door just now."

Tang San made up a random excuse, then abruptly changed his tone, speaking to Oscar in a cold voice: "Also... don't call me Xiao San anymore. You aren't qualified."

Having said that, he left the restroom without looking back.

"What's wrong with Xiao San today? Why is he being so aggressive?"

Staring at Tang San's departing back, Oscar stood at the restroom entrance for a long time before snapping out of it.

"Xiao Ao, I just heard a loud bang. What happened here? Are you okay?"

At this moment, Dai Mubai, who happened to be wandering nearby, rushed over.

Oscar quickly told him what had just happened, even using hand gestures to mimic the way Tang San had pulled up his pants when leaving the stall.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's expression became slightly solemn.

Resting his chin on his hand, he analyzed, "Xiao San has indeed been acting a bit abnormal lately. When I greeted him this morning, he actually called me 'Mubai' directly."

Oscar was surprised upon hearing this. "No way? I remember he always used to call you 'Boss Dai,' didn't he? How did he start calling you by your given name overnight?"

Dai Mubai did not speak.

He didn't mind Tang San calling him by his name.

It was just that when the other party looked at him, there was a distinct aura deep within his eyes—the look of a superior looking down upon an inferior.

That feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Seeing Dai Mubai's silence, Oscar leaned in and continued to ask, "Boss Dai, do you think maybe Xiao San broke up with Xiao Wu, and that's why he's like this? When I was rejected before, my mood was also very bad..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Xiao San and Xiao Wu have a very good relationship. I saw him walking out of Xiao Wu's room this morning."

Dai Mubai murmured with a heavy expression, "I think it's because the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to start. Xiao San is under too much pressure, which is why he's acting so strangely. We are all brothers; we should be by his side during times like this."

While Dai Mubai's analysis made sense, Oscar's attention was currently focused on something else.

"Whoa~ Xiao San and Xiao Wu are already sleeping together? They're moving way too fast! Rongrong and I haven't even held hands yet."

Oscar was incredibly envious.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, except for the Fatty who frequently went out to "call the girls" to suppress his evil fire, everyone else was in a relationship.

However, among these three couples, his progress with Ning Rongrong was the slowest.

Xiao San and Xiao Wu were constantly hugging and cuddling in front of them; they were practically live-streaming it.

Not to mention Dai Mubai.

That guy frequently ran off to the small bamboo forest in the school's back mountains to have secret trysts with Zhu Zhuqing, claiming it was to "increase their synergy" and "refine their Martial Soul Fusion Skill," but everyone knew what they were actually doing there.

Only he, whenever he tried to get closer to Ning Rongrong, would be rejected by her for various reasons.

The relationship between them didn't seem like a couple at all.

Instead, it was more like the mutual redemption between a simp and a gold-digger.

Truly pathetic!

...

Tang San's uploading of a trash cultivation technique was merely a small interlude in the chat group and did not affect anyone else's enjoyment.

However, after Tang San went offline, everyone's attention shifted entirely to Lin Dong.

Because of Zhu Chen's previous reminder, everyone was now very interested in his Ancestral Talisman.

Especially Han Li.

The cultivation techniques he currently practiced were all incomplete fragments.

Even his primary technique, the "Azure Essence Sword Art," was missing its final five layers and the two most powerful sword formations.

Although the cultivation realms corresponding to those final five layers were from the Deity Transformation stage to the late Void Refinement stage—which was still too early for him—Han Li was naturally the type of person who liked to prepare for a rainy day.

It was one thing not knowing the Azure Essence Sword Art had five more layers before, but now that he knew, he felt a sense of emptiness and insecurity in his heart.

Thus, after chatting with Lin Dong for a while, he shamelessly set his sights on the other man's Ancestral Talisman.

[Han Li: @Lin Dong, Fellow Daoist Lin, could I perhaps borrow your Ancestral Talisman for a moment?]

[Lin Dong: No problem. As I said before, anyone who wants to borrow it can just ask me, except for that Tang San!]

Lin Dong was straightforward and threw the Ancestral Talisman over without hesitation.

His blunt personality also earned him praise from Wang Lin.

Having cultivated for over four hundred years, having killed countless people in his life, and having been schemed against by many, the friends he could truly trust were few and far between.

Now, being able to make acquaintances like Zhu Chen and Lin Dong in this chat group finally allowed his lonely and cold cultivation life to feel a glimmer of warmth.

He liked this feeling very much and began to cherish it in his heart.

On the other side.

After receiving the Ancestral Talisman sent by Lin Dong, Han Li immediately began repairing the "Azure Essence Sword Art" and the "Great Derivation Technique"!

With the help of the Ancestral Talisman, he successfully repaired the "Azure Essence Sword Art," obtaining the cultivation methods for the final five layers, as well as the "Spring Li Sword Formation" and the "Azure Coiled Sword Formation" recorded within!

However, like the "Great Geng Sword Formation," these two formations were also under restrictions; one could only comprehend the descriptions of the divine powers within them once they reached the corresponding realm.

Even the images restored by the Ancestral Talisman could not be immediately comprehended.

To this end, Han Li could only take out jade slips and use his fingertip spiritual power to painstakingly record the sword art images restored by the Ancestral Talisman.

In his eyes, the Ancestral Talisman belonged to someone else after all, and it had to be returned sooner or later.

But since the "Azure Essence Sword Art" contained restrictions that required multiple sessions of contemplation to grasp its mysteries, recording it on jade slips to keep by his side allowed him to observe it at any time, providing him with a sense of security.

...

Meanwhile.

In the Perfect World.

While Han Li was busy, Zhu Chen also began using the materials provided by Wang Lin to focus on condensing his "Divine Path Technique" clone!
