Chapter 33: Yu Xiaogang arrives, is Tang San

Zhao Wuji gave a bitter smile; he knew this question would come eventually.

"It was truly sudden at the time. We had already killed the Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent beforehand; otherwise, why would we snatch a spirit ring from your granddaughter?"

"I presume the Human-Faced Demon Spider you mentioned earlier is the spirit beast you had already selected."

"The Human-Faced Demon Spider is surely even more powerful than the Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent. This will also be an improvement for your granddaughter."

"How about we help you find it?"

For Zhao Wuji, this could truly be called humble to the extreme. When had the Immovable Bright King ever been so subservient?

Meng Shu nodded slightly, considering it an agreement.

"Then go and search. Once you find it, make a sound, and I will naturally find you."

Zhao Wuji cupped his hands in a salute. "Then we shall go find that Human-Faced Demon Spider now. We will make a sound as soon as we have news."

Zhao Wuji then picked a direction and led the group away quickly.

"Teacher Zhao, where are we supposed to find that Human-Faced Demon Spider?"

Ma Hongjun looked around as he walked. "It doesn't look like there are any Human-Faced Demon Spiders here."

"Are you stupid?" Zhao Wuji slapped the back of his head.

"Still looking for the Human-Faced Demon Spider? Looking for my ass! We finally have a chance to slip away, why not take it? Are you waiting to be beaten up by them?"

"It was just giving him face, that's all."

Although Zhao Wuji knew it clearly, he still ran toward the outside quickly.

On the other side, Meng Yiran looked in the direction where Zhao Wuji and the others had left. "Grandfather, can they really find the Human-Faced Demon Spider?"

"Maybe."

Meng Shu stroked Meng Yiran's head. He also knew very well that the other party wouldn't look for it.

What was just said was merely superficial; what they wanted was face.

The spirit beast being snatched was an indisputable fact, and the other party was a Spirit Saint; it was better to make an acquaintance than to make an enemy.

The group did not stop their pace, rushing toward the outside of the Star Dou Great Forest at maximum speed.

If they were tired, they would eat Oscar's recovery sausage to replenish themselves. At the same time, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun supported him, while Ye Lin and Xiao Wu also helped support Ning Rongrong slightly, so that the two of them could keep up with the team.

Finally, on the second day, the group left the Star Dou Great Forest and entered the small town on the outskirts.

Zhao Wuji let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of relief.

At the very least, there were many people here, making it much safer.

Come to think of it, this trip into the Star Dou Great Forest had been quite fruitful: Oscar and Xiao Wu had both obtained their third spirit rings, and Ye Lin had obtained her second spirit ring.

Furthermore, the coordination among the group had become more tacit, and many conflicts had been resolved.

Except for Tang San.

After resting in the outside town for about a day, the group set off again to return to Shrek Academy.

"Finally back."

Oscar sighed; the feeling of returning home was relaxing.

"Alright, everyone go back and rest."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand. "I'm going to find the Dean to report on this trip."

He quickly arrived at the Dean's office to recount the journey to Flender. His expression changed several times until he heard that everyone had returned safely, at which point he let out a long sigh of relief.

"We were a bit careless this time."

"Next time, let's go together, and bring all the teachers from the academy to be fully prepared."

Zhao Wuji gave a bitter smile. "Who could have known that a Titan Giant Ape would appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, and that a Spirit Douluo would also appear?"

Flender pondered. "According to what you said, those two should be the Peerless Dragon and Snake. It's fortunate that no fight broke out; they possess a martial soul fusion skill that cannot be resisted by anyone other than a Titled Douluo."

"If something had really happened, there would be no way to answer to that person, let alone answer to the families of these children."

On the other side, at the gate of Shrek Academy, a one-armed man walked in slowly.

"I wonder what kind of name Tang San has made for himself in the academy. With his talent, he will surely come out on top here."

This one-armed man was none other than Yu Xiaogang.

He had been delayed by something previously and hadn't followed Tang San to Shrek Academy, but he wasn't worried.

With Tang San's talent, entering Shrek Academy could be considered easy.

Moreover, he had given Tang San a letter to hand to Flender upon entering Shrek Academy.

It stated that this was his adopted son, and also a disciple who had inherited his mantle.

Although he didn't explicitly ask for Tang San to be taken care of, Flender should still provide some care.

He asked around simply within Shrek Academy and found the Dean's office.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to knock on the door, he heard a voice from inside.

"Regarding Tang San..."

Yu Xiaogang interrupted the voice from outside the door.

"What about Tang San?"

Zhao Wuji and Flender inside the Dean's office were immediately surprised.

"Who is that? The voice doesn't sound like anyone from the academy."

Flender smiled and opened the door. "An old friend has arrived."

"Xiaogang, long time no see."

He looked Yu Xiaogang over and only then discovered that his right arm was gone!

"Xiaogang, your right arm..."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, unwilling to bring up that sad past.

"Let's not talk about that."

"I just heard you mention Tang San."

"What about Tang San?"

"Is it that Tang San's talent is too outstanding, leaving you shocked?"

Speaking of this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but lift his head slightly, feeling very proud; this was his disciple, after all.

Flender and Zhao Wuji were stunned for a moment. How could he dare to say such a thing!

A Blue Silver Grass and "too outstanding talent"?

Flender stepped forward slowly and said, "Xiaogang, you might be overthinking it."

"Tang San's talent is indeed a rare existence elsewhere, but here, Tang San's talent is the one at the bottom."

Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, "What!"

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

He gestured with his only left hand. "I know there are people whose talent is definitely above Tang San's, but Tang San's talent absolutely cannot be at the bottom."

Two candidates appeared in Yu Xiaogang's mind.

The first was Ye Lin, and the other was Xiao Wu.

These two were also his candidates for reserve disciples.

He admitted they were stronger than Tang San; after all, both of them had Innate Full Spirit Power and powerful martial souls.

However, this was only temporary. As long as Tang San reached level 50 and began to add a ten-thousand-year spirit ring to his Clear Sky Hammer,

then Tang San would be the strongest person in this world.

This was the advantage of twin martial souls, an incomparable advantage.

"You don't believe it?"

Flender, feeling somewhat helpless, handed a list he had just written to Yu Xiaogang.

This was the list of the strength of the eight students he had compiled after Zhao Wuji's report. ===== CHAPTER 34 =====
