Chapter 50: Flender Can't Handle It, It Must Be Left to Yu Xiaogang

Yu Xiaogang pointed at Zhao Wuji's nose and cursed, "Is this how you act as a teacher?"

"It's one thing not to help Xiao San hunt for a Soul Ring, but you even put him in danger. If Xiao San's talent is ruined, I'm not finished with you!"

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists.

Tang San's Third Soul Skill came from a Thorn Demon Vine; how was it inferior?

Furthermore, shouldn't a Plant-type Soul Master absorb a Plant-type Soul Ring?

This son of a bitch Yu Xiaogang was clearly just using Flender's "coddling" to spout nonsense here.

Besides, the original Shrek Academy didn't help students hunt for Soul Rings; his stepping in this time was entirely out of respect for Tang Hao.

This guy was nothing but a dog of the Tang family, yet he didn't even realize it!

Flender looked embarrassed.

The one who helped Tang San hunt for his Soul Ring was his own hand-picked disciple, Wu Qi.

If Yu Xiaogang found out about this, he would probably lecture him along with the rest.

After offering a few words of persuasion, Yu Xiaogang left the Dean's Office, grumbling, and headed toward the dormitories.

The resentment and anger pent up in Zhao Wuji's heart were fully released, "Dean, what the hell is this? You intend to let a person like this stay at the academy? Do you still consider me a brother in your heart?"

Flender was also in a difficult position, but Yu Xiaogang's reservoir of knowledge was something they did not possess.

Consequently, he persuaded him with reason and emotion, "Old Zhao, the academy already has six students now. Once Wu Qi and the others join, that will be nine people."

"Such a personnel configuration is enough to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament. Don't you want the academy's name to become famous across the entire continent?"

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' I intend to hand the children's training entirely over to Xiaogang. In the future, we can just enjoy some peace and quiet. Old Zhao, let Xiaogang do the busy work while we reap the reputation—isn't that good?"

In the dormitory, Tang San sat at his desk, tinkering with the Hidden Weapon in his hands.

This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest made him realize his shortcomings regarding Hidden Weapons.

If he could have crafted a Hidden Weapon from the top ten of the Xuantian Treasure Record, Xiao Wu wouldn't have been snatched away, and he wouldn't have fallen into a bitter struggle with the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Knock, knock~

A knocking sound came from the door.

Tang San immediately stopped the movements in his hands.

If it were Oscar returning to the dormitory, he would never knock.

Hidden Weapons were his greatest secret and must never be known by outsiders.

His fingers brushed lightly over "Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges," and the Hidden Weapon materials and blueprints on the table were all stored away into his Soul Guidance Device.

The door opened, and the face of the person who entered startled Tang San, who then greeted him warmly, "Teacher, you've come. Please, come in."

Entering the room, Yu Xiaogang leaned back in a chair and looked up at Tang San, "Xiao San, tell me about your Third Soul Ring."

Tang San's expression was tense.

His Third Soul Ring came from a Thorn Demon Vine, which was outside the category of Animal-type Soul Beasts that Yu Xiaogang had designated for him.

As his cultivation of his martial soul deepened, he also realized that Yu Xiaogang wanted his Blue Silver Grass martial soul to develop in the direction of potent poison.

The Human-Faced Demon Spider itself contained potent poison, which was undoubtedly the most suitable Soul Ring for him.

It was just a pity that when Wu Qi stepped in at that time, that Human-Faced Demon Spider had already escaped into an underground cave, vanishing without a trace.

Afterward, it was under Wu Qi's suggestion that he obtained the Thorn Demon Vine Soul Ring.

Of course, he was very grateful for Wu Qi's help. The other party was not Yu Xiaogang's disciple, so naturally, he was unaware of Yu Xiaogang's painstaking efforts.

Looking back now, Tang San felt a wave of worry.

If his Third Soul Ring didn't match his first two, his martial soul cultivation might be ruined.

If he had the chance to do it over, Tang San knew he would still make the same choice.

Xiao Wu's safety was above all else to him!

"Teacher, my Third Soul Skill is called Thorn Binding. Ever since I obtained the Soul Ring, I can feel that the toughness of my Blue Silver Grass is stronger than before."

"Moreover, the thorns on the Blue Silver Grass are sharp enough that if anyone tries to break free from the Binding, they will injure themselves."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang slapped his thigh, "Xiao San, you are foolish."

"Your first and second Soul Rings added a certain amount of poison attribute. Have you forgotten how you taught Wang Sheng and the others a lesson when you obtained your first Soul Ring?"

"If your Third Soul Ring had been taken from a Human-Faced Demon Spider, you could have completely inherited its poison. At that time, sigh..."

Yu Xiaogang did not continue; he believed Tang San was a smart person and understood his intentions.

But he didn't understand why Tang San, who was usually obedient and respectful to his teacher, would be so irrational.

Tang San gave a bitter smile and clarified the truth.

However, he altered the role of Wu Qi quite a bit.

He focused on expressing the efforts of Wu Qi and the others, without mentioning that the suggestion had come from the other party.

Dai Mubai had previously said that Wu Qi would be their classmate in the future and was also Flender's chief disciple.

He knew Yu Xiaogang's temperament and chose to remain silent for the sake of future harmony among classmates.

Today was not the first time Yu Xiaogang had heard the name "Wu Qi." Furthermore, Flender and Zhao Wuji held him in very high regard.

Tang San's Third Soul Ring was a foregone conclusion; there was no point in saying anything more.

Besides, Yu Xiaogang didn't want to trigger Tang San's rebellious psychology over this matter.

Being able to take on such a disciple was his good fortune; if he angered the other party into leaving, who could he go to for justice?

Yu Xiaogang seemingly changed the subject, but in reality, he also wanted to probe into Wu Qi's true capabilities, "Xiao San, is this Wu Qi very powerful?"

In Flender's eyes, the other party's strength was actually able to surpass Tang San's, and he felt it was necessary to get to know him.

If possible, he also wanted to take the other party as his disciple.

Tang San possesses Twin Martial Souls, his future is limitless, and he will surely be the senior brother in the future.

Wu Qi's talent is certainly not weak, but in his eyes, it definitely cannot compare to Tang San, not to mention Tang San's other martial soul, which is the continent's number one tool martial soul—the Clear Sky Hammer.

Regarding Wu Qi's strength, Tang San acknowledges it.

In the Soul Beast Forest, when facing the Man-Faced Demon Spider, he could only barely restrain the opponent; in contrast, Wu Qi actually killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider, forcing it to flee.

Afterwards, during the process of hunting the Thorn Demon Vine, it was also Wu Qi alone who put in the effort.

The speed of the other party is so fast that Tang San must rely on the Purple Demon Eye to see clearly.

Moreover, Dai Mubai personally admitted to losing to Wu Qi. He knows the former's temperament; for him to voluntarily admit defeat, he must have been defeated head-on.

After finishing speaking about Wu Qi's strength, Tang San revealed Flender's intention to take on a disciple.

"Oh? Flender also wants to take him as a disciple?" Yu Xiaogang realized.

So it turns out Flender also values the other party's talent; no wonder he would hold him in such high regard.

However, a genius with such good talent must not be delayed by Flender; he must be brought under his own command.

"Xiao San, do you know where they are staying? Or when they will arrive at Shrek Academy?"

Tang San shook his head.

Dai Mubai stated himself that he and Flender had previously searched for the other party's tracks in the city, but had no success.

However, Wu Qi and the others are spontaneously training at the Great Spirit Arena; going there will surely find them.

"Teacher, inviting them to join the academy is something the Dean and Boss Dai can handle, why should we worry about it?"
