**Chapter 373: The Tragic Zhao Wuji**
One of the younger brothers, named Zhang Ming, asked Tang San, "Boss, is this one of the top ten hidden weapons of our Tang Sect that you mentioned—the Plate Crystal Golden Dragon Whisker Needle?"
Tang San nodded without comment, a happy smile on his face.
"Oh my god… it's such a big piece. If the dean wants to give it to us, we could make a fortune."
Another younger brother, Xu Jin, also displayed joy on his face. In the past, they had at most heard the boss talk about these top ten hidden weapons but had never seen them with their own eyes.
Now that they had seen it firsthand, they felt their trip was worthwhile.
Seeing the four of them discussing something, Dean Flanders became a little confused.
Isn't this just a piece of crystal that's not very pure? I don't know how long this thing has been in my shop, but I haven't been able to sell it.
Why do these students say that this impure crystal is a precious treasure?
If this thing is really a rare treasure, then it would be a bit of a loss if I just give it away like that, right?
He now felt that he had been careless just now. He shouldn't have given it away in the first place. Even if he could only accept a symbolic amount of five hundred or a thousand gold soul coins, it would be fine.
He had heard from Master Yu Xiaogang that this kid named Tang San was of high rank and a direct descendant of the Haotian Sect, one of the top three sects.
If Tang San hadn't insisted on coming to Shrek Academy, the leader of the Clear Sky Clan would have wanted him to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
After all, his excellent talent of reaching level 33 at the age of 12 meant that his future achievements would be extraordinary. Which academy wouldn't want him?
Therefore, given that kid's status, let alone accepting 500 or 1,000 gold soul coins, even if Flanders charged ten thousand or twenty thousand, he wouldn't think there'd be any problem.
But who made me agree to give that kid the crystal? It's too late to regret it now.
When Tang San brought the entire crystal back to Shrek Academy, he smashed it in front of everyone. In an instant, countless golden particles fell to the ground.
Tang San hurriedly said to his three younger brothers, "Hurry up and help pick up the golden particles on the ground."
Then the four of them began picking up the golden particles scattered all over the ground. It took them some time to collect all of them and put them into Tang San's storage bracelet.
This storage bracelet was a gift from Tang Xiao to Tang San five years ago when he returned to the Haotian Sect to recognize his ancestors.
This storage bracelet had fifty cubic meters of storage space and could also store living things.
Its value was far more precious than the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night that he had received from Yu Xiaogang in his previous life.
This made Tang San sigh: "Blessing lies within misfortune, and misfortune lies within blessing.
I was reborn, and although I didn't get the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night, I got something better."
Flanders was very confused. It was such a large piece of crystal. Even though it was very turbid inside, it was still a piece of crystal.
But now, this guy took a hammer and smashed the crystal into pieces. Of course, he was a little unhappy.
So Flanders frowned and said to Tang San, "Xiao San, I gave you this crystal with good intentions. Why did you smash it? You have to give me an explanation."
Tang San smiled and nodded, then replied to Flanders, "No problem. But Dean Flanders, can you call Teacher Zhao Wuji to accompany me in the experiment?"
Although Flanders didn't understand what was going on, he still went to call Zhao Wuji to the open space.
Zhao Wuji was called to the open space with an unhappy look on his face. He had been enjoying a nice lunch break when suddenly the dean came running to find him and asked him to practice with the student named Tang San.
This was confusing. How can a powerful Soul Saint like me go and practice with a Soul Master who is only at level thirty?
If he lost, he wouldn't know where to lose face, and if he won, he would feel it was shameful. Naturally, he was not very enthusiastic.
The key point was that this kid named Tang San was the dean's favorite.
If I break his arms and legs, I'm afraid the dean will definitely cause trouble for me.
When Tang San saw his unhappy look, he smiled at him and said, "Teacher Zhao Wuji, I know that your martial soul is the powerful King Kong Bear, which is famous for its strength and defense. Therefore, your nickname is Acala, so I want to compete with you."
Tang San flattered Zhao Wuji, which made him feel relaxed immediately. He patted his chest and made a promise, "No problem. Since you want to compete with me, I won't refuse. Don't worry, I'll try my best to make sure you don't get hurt."
During the conversation, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun also came to the open space.
They all knew that Tang San was reborn from ten thousand years later, and his methods were very impressive.
Since he would take the initiative to challenge the Soul Saint-level teacher Zhao Wuji with his level 33 soul power, he must have some support.
So the three of them watched this scene with curiosity. They were eager to see what method Tang San would use to break through Teacher Zhao's terrifying defense.
Tang San's three younger brothers were looking at Zhao Wuji with pity at that moment. They always felt that their boss seemed to have some personal grudge against this teacher.
Otherwise, why would he choose this teacher as the experimental subject?
They had long heard that the terrifying thing about the Plate Crystal Golden Dragon Whisker Needle was that it could easily penetrate defensive auras, and after entering the human body, it would automatically curl up, causing great pain.
Now, this short and stout teacher was being used as a test subject. We can only say that he has bad luck or that he has offended the boss. Otherwise, how could the boss be so cruel?
The pitying looks from the three of them made Zhao Wuji a little uneasy. What was going on?
I'm fighting with a Soul Master-level guy, but those guys are looking at me with pity and anticipation?
Am I that much of a loser? It's really inexplicable.
At this time, Tang San smiled at Zhao Wuji and said, "Teacher Zhao, I'm about to start. You'd better be careful..."
Zhao Wuji immediately showed a serious expression, releasing his powerful King Kong Bear martial spirit and opening his defense to the maximum.
Although he had no idea what the other party had in mind, he thought it would be better to be as cautious as possible and quickly approached Tang San.
Tang San immediately used Ghost Shadow to increase the distance between them, continuously throwing something with both hands.
Zhao Wuji saw more than a dozen golden lights flash by, which actually ignored his defense and all penetrated into his body.
Tang San in this life was four levels stronger than Tang San in his previous life, and his mastery of hidden weapons was much greater.
These dozen Plate Crystal Golden Dragon Whisker Needles entered Zhao Wuji's body with great precision...
