That's right!
Destruction and the others have now discovered a problem: Leon truly knows Tang San incredibly well, even better than Xiao Wu does!
It's simply ridiculous.
[Destruction and the others are starting to wonder, who is Tang San's true love, anyway?]
[At this moment, God King Tang San's mood is exceptionally tense.]
He feels as if Leon really knows, yet he has no way to stop Leon.
He's absolutely furious!
Of course.
God King Tang San holds firmly to one thought in his heart: I didn't do it, I absolutely cannot admit it, otherwise I'll never be able to establish prestige in the Divine Realm again.
But!
Ning Rongrong and the others, who often "eat melons," know that when Leon starts gossiping, he begins with true damage plus a critical hit!
Can God King Tang San withstand it?
That's really hard to say.
Ning Rongrong and her group all have expectant looks in their eyes.
Leon sat there as Ah Yin, beside him, poured him a cup of tea. Leon took a sip and said with a sigh of emotion:
"Tang San, actually there's one thing you don't know. You didn't have to die to create the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus. The Tang Sect would have forgiven everything you did. You jumped off that cliff... you jumped too early!"
What?
God King Tang San's body trembled instantly, his eyes showing a complex mix of surprise, pain, complication, and regret.
Why the hell didn't you say so earlier!
Seriously!
His mental defenses were completely shattered!
[At this moment, Ning Rongrong and her group almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.]
[Number Nine: As expected of you!]
[Ning Rongrong: Brother Leon's gossip skills are just too professional; one sentence and God King Tang San's defenses are shattered.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: God King Tang San is probably dazed right now, thinking, "Why didn't you say I didn't have to die earlier?"]
[Liu Erlong: Well said. If he'd said it earlier, Tang San wouldn't have jumped, right? And if Tang San didn't jump, would there still be a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast sacrifice?]
[Xiao Wu: Damn.]
[Bo Saixi: It has to be you, Leon. Still just one sentence to make the person involved immediately lose it!]
[Qian Yuhan: So, did Tang San lose out on this cliff jump or not?]
[Yu Luosha: Why steal the Secret Manual, why jump off the cliff, why couldn't he be more open and aboveboard?]
[Qian Yuhan: Shoo, shoo, where do you get so many "whys"!]
[Leon: That's a good question, but don't worry. Let's take it slow; as we analyze it, you'll have your answer.]
After Leon finished speaking in the group, he looked at God King Tang San in the projection and asked, "What are your thoughts now?"
God King Tang San's expression was one of great pain. In his heart, he didn't want to admit it, yet he had questions for Leon and felt incredibly unwilling.
Because he wanted to confirm: was what Leon said actually true or false?
Could I have lived if I made the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus? Would the Tang Sect really have forgiven everything I did?
Destruction and the others were full of curiosity; they were still unclear about these matters regarding God King Tang San.
Xiao Wu also looked at God King Tang San nervously, hesitating as she didn't know what to say.
Douluo World 2 Ning Rongrong Ning Rongrong and the others were now certain that Leon was definitely not lying; what he said must be the truth.
Some time passed.
Leon spoke again: "Are you feeling very conflicted right now?"
"You don't want to admit to stealing the Secret Manual, but you really want to know if what I said is true or false, right?"
God King Tang San was indeed conflicted and pained. Leon had guessed correctly!
That was exactly it.
God King Tang San definitely wanted to know. After all, he... was unwilling to let it go!
Leon sighed and said:
"Regarding your past life, Tang San, to be honest... it's hard for me to judge. I can understand both the Tang Sect and you."
"The Tang Sect's system, the division between Inner Sect and Outer Sect, is just like the Douluo Continent you see now—locking down all paths of advancement for ordinary people. Without a bloodline or background, one cannot progress further."
"And you, Tang San, with unrecognized talent, ultimately chose the path of theft."
"However, Tang San, you have no heart!"
"Did you never think about why your past self took the path of stealing the Tang Sect Secret Manual? In this life, you, Tang San, became a god. Why can't you think about how many people in the world are just like your past self?"
"Tang San, you have no heart!"
At this moment, God King Tang San's inner defenses truly crumbled. Leon's words made him feel utterly ashamed. In his past life, because he was an Outer Sect Disciple, he couldn't learn the Tang Sect's core Cultivation Techniques and Hidden Weapons.
In the Douluo Continent of this life during the Douluo World 2 era, the Sects and noble families have almost formed a monopoly over Soul Masters. Only the former Spirit Hall provided free Martial Soul Awakening, giving those commoners a path.
The circumstances might be slightly different, but the essence is the same.
God King Tang San remained silent...
To say Tang San has no heart is accurate. A person like him is the type to put down the chopsticks and start cursing the chef. How could he possibly treat those who come after him with kindness just because of his past self?
It's impossible!
Rong Nianbing couldn't help but ask, "Brother Leon, what exactly is going on here?"
"We don't understand."
Destruction and Ji Dong also looked at Leon with curiosity.
"We don't quite get it either. Can you explain it more clearly?"
"What exactly happened in Tang San's past life? Tell us about it?"
Leon nodded and began to narrate:
"Tang San's past life was in another world. In that world, there was a Sect called the Tang Sect, which is the true Tang Sect."
"In that life, Tang San was picked up as a baby by Outer Sect Elder Tang Lan and brought back to the Tang Sect. He was given the name Tang San, raised to adulthood, and taught the creation of Hidden Weapons."
"But the Tang Sect was divided into Inner and Outer Sects. The core Cultivation Techniques and Hidden Weapons could only be learned by Inner Sect Disciples. As an Outer Sect Disciple, Tang San couldn't learn the high-level Hidden Weapons and techniques, so he stole the Inner Sect technique, the Mysterious Heaven Skill."
"Eventually, the matter came to light. Tang San was pursued by the Tang Sect Elders and driven to a dead end. He chose to jump off a cliff to use his death to show his ambition and prove his innocence, stating he had not betrayed the Tang Sect."
Hearing Leon's words, Destruction and the others suddenly understood.
"Wait, what?"
Destruction said, somewhat puzzled, "He stole it, and that's that. Jumping off a cliff to prove his innocence?"
"Why does this sound a bit off?"
Rong Nianbing and Ji Dong also frowned, feeling that this person, Tang San, was quite ridiculous!
"An Outer Sect Disciple steals an Inner Sect technique and then commits suicide to show his 'innocence' after being caught?"
"What kind of innocence are you trying to prove?"
"Tang San, you really are an oddity! They were chasing you because you stole the Inner Sect technique. You committed suicide to show you didn't betray the Sect—are those even the same thing?"
"Suicide to escape accountability?"
God King Tang San's eyes were bloodshot. He stared fixedly at Destruction and the others, shouting in a hoarse, dark voice:
"Shut up!"
"Leon is lying. Everything Leon said is false. None of that happened. None of it!"
The Goddess of Life said calmly, "Tang San, there's no need to quibble anymore. Your reaction has already betrayed you."
"Let's set aside your act of 'proving your ambition through death' for a moment. I think Leon's words just now were very correct: you, as a person, have no heart!"
"Since you stole in your previous life because you were an Outer Sect Disciple and couldn't learn the Inner Sect techniques, then look at the current Douluo Continent—do you really not feel any guilt?"
"I remember Leon and the others saying that ten thousand years ago, when Spirit Hall existed, they helped all commoners across the continent awaken their Martial Souls. This included your own Martial Soul, Tang San, which was awakened by Spirit Hall."
"Have you ever considered a question? If you hadn't encountered Spirit Hall in this life on Douluo Continent, and it still operated under that Tang Sect system from your past life, how would you have awakened your Martial Soul? How would you have cultivated to become a god?"
"You would have had to steal again!"
"Tang San, you personally shattered the very fairness you once dreamed of."
"Tang San, you have no heart!"
