Chapter 70: The bodies of foster fathers and foster sons are just great; they fall asleep the moment they hit the pillow, very peace

"Not bad, after all, this is a skill obtained from a soul bone; its effect must surely far exceed that of an ordinary soul skill,"

"However, exactly how much strength it has still requires testing."

Yu Xiaogang nodded in admiration as well, "Both skills are control-type skills, and the Vine Wall is even instantaneous,"

"Very good."

"Tang San, prepare yourself well. I am going to find Flender now; tomorrow we will head to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your Third Soul Ring."

Tang San nodded.

"Very well, Foster Father, I will wait for your return in the dormitory."

Yu Xiaogang quickly found Flender, who was supervising Dai Mubai and the others as they practiced.

"Oh?"

"The Master has finally decided to return?"

Flender raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

"It seems Tang San has broken through to Thirty Level?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded proudly, "That's right, Tang San has already broken through to Thirty Level. This is my ability."

He looked at the other Shrek students who were practicing their soul power under the pressure of Zhao Wuji.

"If you also wish to improve your strength as quickly as Tang San, I am giving you all a chance to take me as your master now."

……

Silence, a deathly silence; not a single person was willing to pay any attention to Yu Xiaogang.

No matter how one looked at him, he was nothing but a clown.

Embarrassment hung on Yu Xiaogang's face; his two feet inside his shoes scraped hard against the soles.

He quickly changed the subject.

"Flender, let's set off tomorrow to search for the Third Soul Ring."

Flender did not look at him, but instead placed his gaze on Ye Lin, seeking her opinion.

If Ye Lin said in a few days, then it would be in a few days; if Ye Lin said to go tomorrow, then they would go tomorrow.

Ye Lin could wait for such a long time, so why couldn't Tang San?

Ye Lin felt the gaze of Flender upon her.

She slowly raised her head.

"Dean, let's set off for the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. It just so happens that everyone is in good condition today, and we don't need to go participate in Soul Fighting tonight,"

"Tomorrow is just right."

Flender nodded.

"Since that is the case, then tomorrow everyone will set off for the Star Dou Great Forest to search for suitable Third Soul Rings for Ye Lin and Tang San."

At night, the group continued to spend their time in cultivation. Since they wouldn't be able to cultivate on the road tomorrow, they naturally couldn't waste time tonight and had to race against the clock.

Meanwhile, in Yu Xiaogang's dormitory,

Yu Xiaogang extended his finger, picked up some medicinal ointment, and applied it to Tang San's wounds.

His technique was extremely practiced.

Tang San's eyes were closed, his whole body relaxed; at this moment, there was only one word for how he felt,

Blissful!

"Foster Father, what kind of Spirit Beast should I look for for my Third Soul Ring?"

Finally, sensing that Yu Xiaogang was about to finish, Tang San asked that long-awaited question.

Yu Xiaogang used a paper towel to wipe the residue off his left hand.

"It is best to continue developing in terms of toughness and poison Attribute,"

"I have thought of some suitable Spirit Beasts, such as the Mantuluo snake that Ye Lin absorbed for her First Soul Ring,"

"Most snake-type Spirit Beasts that carry poison are acceptable,"

"There is also the Ghost Thorn, though they are mostly plants; they are more suitable for you,"

"Among them, one that I consider the best is the Human-Faced Demon Spider; her toughness is extremely strong, and she possesses corrosive, potent poison,"

"However, such things are, after all, hard to come by,"

"Sometimes it all depends on fate."

……

Early the next morning,

The group finished their cultivation and came to the cafeteria for breakfast.

This time, it could be said that basically everyone from Shrek Academy was gathered in the cafeteria.

Dean Flender, Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, teacher and head chef Shao Xin, teacher Lu Qibin, teacher Li Yusong, student and teacher Ye Lin, and students Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.

As for Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, they were not there.

Upon learning that Tang San had erased a portion of the characters written outside the cafeteria,

Flender had quickly turned the large characters "Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and dogs are not allowed to enter" into a carved version.

And at this moment, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were on the playground gnawing on hard, dry flatbreads.

"San, what about the ten Gold Soul Coins I gave you?"

"How come you can only afford to eat this flatbread now?"

"Didn't I tell you to eat a bit better?"

Tang San embarrassedly explained about losing the bet, and Yu Xiaogang sighed at how many unexpected things had happened.

After breakfast, carrying enough food, the group officially set off toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

This time it was Ye Lin in command, and he still set off according to the previous marching formation.

The rest of the teachers followed closely behind to handle any unexpected situations.

The group moved at a very fast pace, and after walking for less than two or three hours, Yu Xiaogang was already panting.

Yet this was not even half the distance to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Xiaogang, are you not capable?"

Flender asked casually.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment.

"Capable, how could a man possibly be not capable!"

He had long forgotten that he could no longer be considered a man, only half a man.

However, his stubbornness was of no use.

His body was very honest.

In the end, it was only with the replenishment from Shao Xin's Candy Bean martial soul that he was able to arduously reach the small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest by nightfall.

"Let's rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow,"

Flender issued the order.

He and the other few teachers each booked a single room, while Ye Lin and the other three opened a quadruple room.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar opened a triple room.

As for why they did not open a quadruple room to sleep with Tang San,

it was truly because they found Tang San disgusting, and furthermore, they all deeply loathed Tang San, so how could they possibly sleep with him?

Since all expenses were paid by themselves, in the end, only Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were left.

The two of them were left in a state of disarray in the wind.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the two Silver Soul Coins in his hand, not knowing what to say.

"Foster father, what should we do?"

Tang San asked.

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment before finally spitting out a few words.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary to stay at an inn."

"Staying outside is also not bad."

"One must learn to endure hardship to grow; only by enduring the bitterest of the bitter can one become a person above others."

Tang San nodded, "Yes, that's right, foster father. They are all too pampered."

Late at night, raindrops fell with a patter.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang found an eave to hide from the rain.

The cold wind outside howled.

Tang San hugged himself with both arms, while Yu Xiaogang held his right shoulder with his left arm.

The two of them crouched in the corner of the wall, shivering, their teeth chattering incessantly.

"Not cold,"

"Not cold at all,"

"Hiss!"

"They are all too pampered; I am not cold at all."

The two men's consciousness became increasingly blurred.

Finally, they both collapsed onto the ground one after another, unresponsive.

The bodies of the young and the old are truly good.

Even in heavy rain and cold wind, they could fall asleep the moment they lay down, sleeping just as peacefully as those indoors.
