Chapter 50: Tang San Wins by Sneak Attack? Hu Liena Breaks Down!
Because of certain unavoidable reasons, Song Ye's sharp commentary became slightly restrained, but the meaning contained within still left everyone who saw it somewhat surprised.
No one expected that Hu Liena, as a member of Spirit Hall, would actually act in a way that harmed Spirit Hall's interests.
Seeing this, many people already found it quite amusing.
[Yan Yan is Proud]: Damn, this light screen makes it very clear. Hu Liena is also love-brained—she actually fell for Tang San?
[Bingbing is Polite]: Yeah, it feels like a joke. The Pope Bibi Dong, as the master, likes Yu Xiaogang. Hu Liena, as the disciple, likes Tang San! And it just so happens, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San are also master and disciple! Is this some kind of pairing game?
[Demon Fox]: Bullshit! This light screen is talking nonsense! Hu Liena is my friend; I know her well. She is not that kind of person. She would absolutely safeguard Spirit Hall's interests!
[Bibi Dong]: Who likes Yu Xiaogang? Who is spouting nonsense here? When the time comes, I will kill you all! That trash, Yu Xiaogang—is he even worthy of being liked?"
[Bibi Dong]: Very well, so Nana will also be bewitched by Tang San? It seems this boy must be killed! Even if Spirit Hall collapses in the future, Tang San will be at the top of my kill list!
[I Am an Orphan]: What kind of charm does this Tang San have? Why does everyone like him? If I ever see him, I definitely won't let him go!
[Sea God's Most Loyal Believer]: It must be said, the Tang family does have some charm. Tang Chen back then and Tang Hao, who even got involved with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. This Tang San is also flirting everywhere.
[Hot Girl]: Luckily, I don't know Tang San, and I have nothing to do with him. There's no way I would like someone like that.
[The Only Princess]: Tang San, sigh… although I don't want to admit it, he really is outstanding. Otherwise, how could Xiao Wu suffer so much and still continue to like him?
Although many people were looking at the commentary about Hu Liena on the light screen, she was ultimately just a supporting character, used to highlight Tang San.
People originally discussed this demon fox, but as they talked, it kept drifting back to Tang San.
…
Inside Spirit Hall:
Bibi Dong looked at the light screen, deep in thought. "Will Nana also act on emotions in the future?"
"In that case, should I not let her go out? If she doesn't come into contact with the outside world and doesn't meet Tang San, then there should be no problem, right?"
"Tomorrow during the day, I must remind Nana properly—make sure this child maintains her loyalty to Spirit Hall!"
…
In the adjacent room:
Hu Liena looked at the words on the light screen and the teasing comments. She was already furious.
"Tang San!"
"Why is it Tang San again? How could I possibly like an enemy of Spirit Hall!"
"Now the Sharp Commentary is even talking about the future. Will the teacher be disappointed in me?"
"No! That won't do! I absolutely cannot develop any favorable feelings toward this Tang San! Isn't he just a man?"
"I refuse to believe there isn't someone better in this world!"
"If it's truly fate pulling me toward liking Tang San, then I'll just find someone better to be with. Wouldn't that make it impossible for me to fall for him?"
Hu Liena pondered. No matter what, even if it cost her life, she would never dare fall in love with Tang San.
Falling for him would mean betraying Spirit Hall and betraying her teacher, Bibi Dong!
Hu Liena continued staring at the light screen and said, "Teacher, don't worry. I'm mentally prepared. I will definitely find a way to kill Tang San!"
"I will always belong to Spirit Hall!"
"Let's keep watching to see what can be avoided in the future."
…
On the light screen:
The commentary did not stop:
[However, in a certain sense, Hu Liena is merely a disposable supporting figure, a green leaf that can be cast aside at any time. In reality, she exists purely to highlight Tang San!]
[Hu Liena grew up in Spirit City. Back then, she and her brother Xie Yue were orphans, later adopted and nurtured by Bibi Dong, becoming part of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation!]
[During the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, Bibi Dong specially prepared three ten-thousand-year soul bones for Hu Liena, Gu Yue, and Yan, intending for Spirit Hall's team to win and obtain them!]
[Hu Liena herself possessed extraordinary talent. She trained in charm techniques from a young age, and her strength rose rapidly. At nineteen, she had already reached rank 50—truly outstanding!]
[Under normal circumstances, the Spirit Hall team led by the three of them winning the championship was basically guaranteed.]
[But unfortunately, their opponent was Tang San—a complete cheat. In the final battle, Hu Liena and the others nearly perished with Tang San's group, leaving both sides almost without combat ability!]
[They even retained slightly more soul power. Logically, they should have won!]
[But don't forget, Tang San is an old man from another world. He has lived far longer than you little brats. How can you compare?]
[At the critical moment, Tang San launched a sneak attack, throwing out fragments of his external soul bone and using hidden weapon techniques to strike Hu Liena and the others!]
[In that situation, who had ever seen hidden weapons? Who knew such methods existed? Hu Liena and the others lost the match, and the three ten-thousand-year soul bones fell into Shrek's hands!]
[But this is still somewhat reasonable. After all, he's cheating, so winning is normal.]
[What's unreasonable is this Hu Liena. Is something wrong with her brain? She was clearly defeated by Tang San, yet afterward, she kept thinking about him every day, even developing feelings.
[Oh? Just because Tang San is amazing? Because he beat you? So you keep thinking about him every day?]
[Hu Liena, are you missing a screw somewhere? Or do you have some masochistic tendencies—feeling good after being beaten?]
[This is also the starting point of Hu Liena's feelings for Tang San, something people simply cannot understand.]
[So tell me, with such a person in Spirit Hall and even entrusted with heavy responsibilities, how could Spirit Hall not fall apart?]
…
Inside Spirit Hall:
Bibi Dong frowned deeply upon seeing this.
She had previously learned from others' commentary that Tang San's group would ultimately win the competition.
But she had not expected that the victory would come from the abilities Tang San brought from another world.
Bibi Dong pondered, "Good!"
"A Soul Master competition should be about Soul Master skills. That's why even weapons like soul tools are not allowed!"
"Yet in the end, Nana and the others didn't lose due to lack of strength but because they had never seen Tang San's otherworldly methods?"
"Does that count as winning? Even if he used his own external soul bone as a weapon, that still isn't a Soul Master method, right?"
"To be precise, it doesn't even count as a self-created soul skill. There's no soul power output at all!"
"Bold Tang San! Playing tricks on the edge of the rules, winning the match, and swindling away the soul bones!
"It seems tomorrow I must remind Nana properly to be wary of Tang San's despicable methods."
Bibi Dong still did not know that Hu Liena was also connected to the light screen, nor that the one called 'Demon Fox' was actually her.
After all, 'Demon Fox' had always claimed to be Hu Liena's friend, leading everyone to naturally assume that was true.
