Chen Xin's sword made Tang San freeze on the spot.
He had been in Douluo Continent for many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a powerful person.
He could feel the terror from afar.
"Can I really protect Xiao Wu?"
He looked back at the door panel behind him, lost in thought, his body trembling.
He felt both excitement and fear.
There was such a strong person in the world. Tang San was the pride of heaven, he might be able to surpass him in the future but now he was still very weak.
He was also afraid that if a strong man like this killed him now, there would be no future.
Facing such a terrifying sword, Tang San muttered: "He must be a Titled Douluo, the kind of legendary existence."
Growing up in Holy Soul Village, Tang San had heard the most stories about Soul Saints.
A strong Soul Saint could be praised for more than a hundred years, but what about a living Titled Douluo for a hundred years?
Wasn't he a legendary Titled Douluo?
After waiting for a long time and seeing that the Titled Douluo seemed to have left, Tang San retracted his martial soul, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing that he didn't have to face such a strong man. He couldn't even defeat the Soul Elder (Neuvillette), let alone such a strong man.
Of course, Tang San didn't admit that he had lost to Neuvillette; he just thought that Neuvillette had attacked him sneakily and had no martial ethics.
Launching a sneak attack while having the advantage of terrain was simply a villainous act.
If it weren't for that, Tang San would never have lost.
He looked at the door panel again, and saw that the door was still closed. He said with some disappointment, "Xiao Wu still didn't want to come out?"
Feeling helpless, Tang San shook his head. Just as he was about to find out what had happened, the door of Xiao Wu's dormitory opened.
"Crunch..."
The sound of the wooden door made Tang San turn around subconsciously, and he met Xiao Wu's eyes, who was standing at the door.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with a somewhat complicated expression, unable to explain clearly.
She didn't know how to describe his behavior.
Since he was afraid that she would be in danger, why didn't he teach her those "self-created soul skills" and powerful hidden weapons, and only gave her the weakest silent sleeve arrow?
But whenever she was in danger, Tang San would protect her, and he never broke his promise.
The Titled Douluo had just attacked, and Tang San didn't even know what kind of existence his opponent was, but he was ready to protect her.
She would be lying if she said she wasn't moved. But nothing could go back to the way it was before.
Tang San looked at the weary Xiao Wu and exclaimed, "Xiao Wu, you finally came out!"
As if he thought of something, Tang San quickly moved forward, walked up to Xiao Wu, and said, "Xiao Wu, why, why are you hiding from me?"
"What happened? Why did you return this sleeve arrow to me?"
"This is what I gave you to save your life!"
Tang San asked with a confused look on his face, and he was also a little frantic.
He had been waiting here for almost a day, just wanting to know the answer.
The sleeve arrow in his hand was the first hidden weapon he made. This was the first hidden weapon he gave to his beloved sister, Xiao Wu..
Now that he had the hidden weapon back in his hands, was Xiao Wu going to cut ties with him?
He had kept his original vow all along, and protecting Xiao Wu had become his obsession.
But now Xiao Wu no longer needed his protection, which made Tang San feel a bit rejected.
It must be because of Neuvillette. If Neuvillette hadn't shown up, Xiao Wu wouldn't have changed like this.
Xiao Wu felt numb, and the corners of her eyes twitched. What could save her life?
Tang San presented a broken sleeve arrow as a life-saving gift to her.
Could this thing really save her life in a critical moment?
Without waiting for Xiao Wu to answer, Tang San continued: "Xiao Wu, is it because of Neuvillette?"
"Tell me, is it because of him that you're acting this way?"
Seeing Tang San getting more and more agitated, Xiao Wu shook her head calmly. Was it really because of Neuvillette?
No!
She had nothing to do with Neuvillette, but when she saw him, she felt like seeing a "kindred spirit," and that's why she wanted to talk to him.
To see how he survived in this human society.
For Neuvillette, Xiao Wu had no feelings or emotions like love; it was just because of "the same kind."
Even if he was a superior being.
"Tang San, this has nothing to do with Neuvillette. You don't understand what I need at all."
"You have no idea of my situation."
"The enemy I have to face can't be dealt with by a sleeve arrow."
"This so-called life-saving thing—can it really protect me? You'd better take it back."
Xiao Wu said coldly, her expression unchanged.
Hearing this, Tang San was stunned. He looked at Xiao Wu, then at the sleeve arrow in his hand.
He finally realized!
Tang San still remembered that when he and Xiao Wu became sworn brother and sister, Xiao Wu once asked him, If many people want to kill me, what will you do?
At that time, Tang San replied without hesitation, Then they'll have to step over his corpse!
Xiao Wu's words implied that the enemy she had to face was very formidable!
This sleeve arrow...
Tang San's eyes twitched. Although the sleeve arrows were not the worst among hidden weapons, they were certainly not much better.
He had made so many "equipments," but Xiao Wu was still using the initial one. It was no wonder that her mood was abnormal.
"Xiao Wu, it's not that I don't want to give you a more powerful hidden weapon; it's that you have a bad temper. What if you lose your temper and use a powerful hidden weapon to kill someone?"
Tang San said earnestly, thinking that he was doing this for the sake of all living beings. Was this considered righteous?
Xiao Wu: "..."
After giving Tang San a glance, Xiao Wu opened her mouth slightly but said nothing.
Who was the one who wanted to kill someone when everyone else had conceded in a soul fight?
Who was the one who used a large number of hidden weapons during the assessment?
Tang San, you employ hidden weapons, making them a integral part of your strength. And if she also uses hidden weapons, what if she ends up causing harm to someone?
"Get lost!"
After a while, Xiao Wu yelled furiously, then went back to her room and slammed the door.
Tang San looked at the closed door with a puzzled expression. Did he say something wrong?
Why was Xiao Wu so angry?
After recalling what he had said before, Tang San fell into deep thought. He was right. For the sake of all the people in the world, the fewer hidden weapons, the better!
Especially the more powerful hidden weapons, which were too harmful to the world, so they should be avoided.
In the original work, after defeating the Wuhun Empire, Tang San destroyed the Zhuge Godly Crossbow that was produced because of the war.
If this thing was left in the Heaven Dou Empire, it would harm people!
"Wait, Xiao Wu said she was in a situation and needed to face enemies?"
Tang San's eyes suddenly brightened, and he addressed the door, asking, "Xiao Wu, can you enlighten me? What is it exactly?"
