"What? Are you afraid of my Yan Yan? I think you just like her, otherwise why would you be afraid of her?" His laughter echoed in the corridor for a long time.
The two of them bickered and teased each other as they walked out of the room side by side.
Inside the room, only Yu Tianheng remained. His face was now so gloomy it looked like it could drip water, his fists clenched, breathing heavily like an ox, like a clown publicly ridiculed, rooted to the spot… Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.
"Teacher, my Soul Power has reached Rank 40!" The moment Tang San pushed open the door, his face was filled with unconcealed excitement, and he spoke with great agitation.
Hearing this, the Master, who was organizing Martial Soul data inside the room, paused his movements. A look of deep surprise flashed in his eyes, and he then abruptly looked up, almost incredulously standing up.
"Little San, what did you say? Your Soul Power has reached Rank 40?!"
"I remember, a few months ago, your Soul Power Rank was only 36. How could you have Breakthrough to Rank 40 in such a short time?"
At this moment, his expression was somewhat complex, containing both surprise and a hint of doubt.
"Teacher, I've been Cultivating almost day and night for the past two months, which is why my improvement was a bit faster." A faint, hard-to-detect sinister red glow flashed deep in Tang San's eyes. He lowered his head slightly, avoiding the Master's gaze that was directed at him.
The Master stared at Tang San, his gaze slightly narrowed, as if trying to catch something on his face.
But Tang San's expression was calm, his breathing steady, as if everything was perfectly reasonable.
Finally, he slowly nodded, sighing with a mix of belief and doubt, "You child… So be it. Geniuses always have extraordinary qualities."
Tang San then seized the opportunity to speak, his tone carrying a hint of urgency, "Teacher, since that's the case, let's quickly go find Dean Flender. Let him take me to Sunset Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain my fourth spirit ring."
The Master pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Good! The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament will begin in just over three months. Since your Soul Power has reached Rank 40, we'll go to the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain a spirit ring. Let's go, I'll take you to Flender now."
...The next day, deep within the Sunset Forest.
Four figures slowly advanced: Flender, Liu Erlong, the Master, and Tang San.
Fearing that the Master might encounter an accident in the forest, Liu Erlong had also come along.
They had been in the Sunset Forest for half a day now. The number of Soul Beasts they encountered along the way was similar to that in the Star Dou Great Forest, but their cultivation years were generally lower.
Although they had encountered a few thousand-year-level Soul Beasts, most were just barely over a thousand years, which was clearly not what Tang San needed.
"Should we rest a bit and look again tomorrow?" Flender looked at the darkening sky and immediately stopped Liu Erlong and the Master, who were searching for Soul Beasts.
Hearing this, the Master immediately frowned, his tone carrying a hint of urgency, "If we keep searching like this, who knows how long it will take? The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament is about to begin! Little San's Cultivation time is precious; we must split up to search."
"Split up to search? That works… How about this, Xiaogang, you come with me? Boss Flender, you go with Tang San." Liu Erlong was slightly stunned, then said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the Master's face changed slightly. He dared not look directly into Liu Erlong's eyes and repeatedly waved his hand in refusal, "No, splitting into two groups will probably still make it hard to find. How about this, Erlong, Little San and I will go together, and you and Flender will split into two more groups. With three groups, we should be able to find a suitable Soul Beast for Little San very quickly."
Liu Erlong frowned upon hearing this, and said with a slight worry, "Xiaogang, no! With your strength, how can you search for Soul Beasts in the Sunset Forest with Little San? What if there's an accident…"
"Why not? Although my Soul Power is not yet Rank 30, Little San's Soul Power is already Rank 40! As long as we don't encounter a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, our master and disciple duo can completely handle it. Back then, Little San's first spirit ring was even obtained with my help!"
At the same time.
On the outskirts of the Sunset Forest, a emerald green stream of light flashed past rapidly—it was Dugu Bo!
