Chapter 209: Yu Xiaogang is Full of Confidence

Baili Kuan's gaze turned toward Wu Qi.

In his mind, Wu Qi had made no mistakes in this sparring match. Furthermore, the latter's responses during the battle could be described as textbook.

The battle was entirely under Wu Qi's control, so he fought when he wanted to and withdrew when he did not.

"Your performance was perfect. But this was a favorable match for you, so it's impossible to see the specific situation."

"I hope you can remember the state you were just in; when encountering different opponents, you still need to change your strategy at the right time."

Wu Qi nodded.

Next was the sparring match between Qiangu Changkong and Chen Ping.

The two were equal in strength, so the sparring would not be one-sided.

Returning to the rest area, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but ask: "Captain, what exactly is going on with your strength? Why can your soul power be unleashed endlessly without any signs of fatigue?"

At first, he thought the other party was just holding on, but after carefully observing the other party's breathing frequency, he understood that he had been wrong.

Wu Qi was not holding on; he simply had extreme endurance.

Wu Qi certainly couldn't talk about the matter of the stall owner, so he explained casually: "During this period, I improved the quality of my soul power, so my endurance appears stronger."

Huo Wushuang, who was on the side, couldn't help but remind him: "Captain, this is not a good decision. If the quality of soul power is raised too high, it will slow down the cultivation speed of your soul power level, which is not worth the loss."

Wu Qi nodded: "I have my own plans; it won't delay things too much."

At the beginning, the Seven Treasures team's one-on-one sparring sessions were all conducted internally.

But they were very familiar with each other; they knew what moves the other would make just by seeing their stance.

Such sparring had little meaning and was a complete waste of time.

Later, under the academy's arrangement, several teachers with suitable strength were brought in to act as sparring partners.

When facing unfamiliar opponents, everyone would, to a greater or lesser extent, expose some mistakes that had not appeared before.

In the constant sparring and training, everyone's strength improved every day.

On the other side, Tang San also successfully absorbed the second soul ring for his Clear Sky Hammer.

The first soul ring of the Clear Sky Hammer reached seven thousand years; with his body amplified by the soul ring, plus Tang San's indomitable will, his second soul ring was successfully absorbed as a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.

With purple and black soul rings shining at his feet, Tang San's body felt an unprecedented power.

After carefully feeling the state of the soul power in his body, Tang San hurriedly said: "Dad, the soul power in my body is very stable. I think I can absorb another soul ring."

Tang Hao shook his head, "No. According to what Master said, your Clear Sky Hammer absorbing two soul rings is the safest."

"If you absorb it now and something goes wrong, Master will have to go to great lengths to help you solve the problem. It would be better to wait until he figures out the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls before absorbing more."

"Don't forget, the finals are held in Wuhun Cheng. Even if Master's progress is a bit slow, with me here, are you afraid you won't make it in time?"

Tang San pondered for a moment and stopped struggling with the decision.

The Clear Sky Hammer now had two soul rings, and his soul power had reached level 46 because of it. On the stage of the qualifying tournament, the combination of Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer might produce even better results.

Once he reached the finals stage, adding the remaining soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer would provide a few more trump cards.

Thinking of this, he agreed with Tang Hao's idea.

Days passed one by one.

In the end, Tang Hao agreed to Yu Xiaogang's proposal and let him go to Wuhun Cheng to find Bibi Dong.

Early that morning, Yu Xiaogang left the academy alone.

Apart from Tang Hao, no one knew the purpose of his departure.

Even Liu Erlong, who slept in the same bed as him, was not informed.

In a corner outside Shrek Academy, Tang Hao sought out Yu Xiaogang.

"Master, the journey is long, so take care of yourself. Also, Bibi Dong's temperament in recent years is not what it used to be; be extremely careful when dealing with her."

"Remember, whether you can obtain the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls is secondary; your safety should be the top priority."

Tang Hao had to admit that Yu Xiaogang's attainments in Spirit Master theory were extremely high.

Whether it was plagiarism or not aside, in terms of the depth of theoretical research, Yu Xiaogang did not lose to most senior scholars.

There were many theories he knew, but he had not researched them as deeply as Yu Xiaogang.

For example, only allowing Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer to have two soul rings attached could prevent the two streams of soul power from clashing in his body.

If it were him, he might not have really thought of that.

Yu Xiaogang smiled calmly and patted his chest to guarantee: "Your Excellency Clear Sky, rest assured. I have a sense of proportion for this trip, but..."

Ever since Ma Hongjun was killed, Flender had completely given up, no longer asking about any affairs of the academy, and his few old brothers were the same.

Yu Xiaogang worried that relying on Liu Erlong alone would not be enough to handle the upcoming qualifying tournament.

"Master, rest assured, I will pay attention to Xiao San and the others in the dark. Also, don't forget, Xiao San was taught by you step by step. With Xiao San in command, there won't be much of a problem in the qualifying tournament."

Most importantly, no teams would be eliminated in the qualifying tournament; it would only affect the bye situation in the finals.

Whether they took first place in the qualifying tournament didn't mean that much to Tang Hao.

On the contrary, he was more willing to let Tang San conserve his strength to avoid exposing the Clear Sky Hammer too early, which would bring trouble to Yu Xiaogang's trip.

Before parting, Yu Xiaogang reminded him: "Your Excellency Clear Sky, I have already told Xiao San the content of the next training. Please take good care of the team with Erlong and do not slack off."

About an incense stick of time later, the Shrek Seven Devils, including the substitute member Taira, gathered on the playground of Shrek Academy.

"Strange, didn't Uncle Xiaogang come?" Having not seen him for a long time, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but ask.

Tang San was also very curious.

When it came to leading training, Yu Xiaogang was more proactive than anyone; it was impossible for him to disappear for no reason.

It wasn't until Liu Erlong appeared that everyone realized Yu Xiaogang was gone.

"Teacher Liu Erlong, is Master not with you?" Tang San could not help but ask.

Liu Erlong shook her head, her expression flustered, "Every morning, the sound of Xiao Gang getting up wakes me, but today I didn't hear any movement at all. Xiao Gang, are you going to abandon me again?"

Tang San said in a deep voice, "Teacher Liu Erlong, don't be anxious yet. It is impossible for Master to disappear for no reason. Think about it, when was the last time you saw him?"

Just as Liu Erlong was recalling, a voice entered Tang San's mind: "Xiao San, Master has gone out to attend to some business, there is no need to worry about him."

"Before leaving, Master asked me to instruct you to lead the team in training properly."

Hearing these words, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief.

But he did not want to expose his father's identity yet, so it was not easy to speak of it for the time being.

"Teacher Liu Erlong, you wait here first. If Master left, he would definitely have left me a letter. I will go back to the dormitory to take a look."

Tailong hurriedly added, "Young Master San, do you need me to contact my family to help look for him?"

"If Master was abducted by someone, with Grandfather's discernment, he would definitely be able to see the clues."

"No need." Tang San shook his head, "Master hasn't necessarily gone missing, let's not make a scene and stir up trouble."
