Chapter 43 Shrek, Yu Xiaogang

Chen Yuan and Ning Rongrong came back very quickly, but they did not go back to the academy. Instead, they went shopping and playing in Soto City.

Of course, that’s not all. Chen Yuan also went to all the blacksmith shops and bought a total of a thousand swords. He also rented a manor in the countryside surrounded by mountains and rivers as a temporary place to stay.

This is not the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If Chen Yuan wants to practice with peace of mind, he has to set up a simulated practice environment and put all the thousand swords in their proper positions. When he practices in it, his practice speed will also be improved.

His simulated training environment was actually quite easy to solve, but Ning Rongrong was in trouble. The most suitable simulated training environment for Ning Rongrong was actually the treasure house of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

There was wealth in there that was enough to rival a country's. Gold soul coins were piled up like mountains. Silver soul coins and bronze soul coins were not even worthy of being stored there. Precious crystals of various colors were piled up in the corner like ordinary stones. Such an environment was most suitable for the cultivation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, a gem-type martial spirit.

Before they knew it, a day had passed, and Zhao Wuji, along with Tang San, Xiao Wu and the others, finally returned to Shrek Academy before dark.

After returning, Zhao Wuji disbanded the team, and he found Flanders to explain some of the situations during the soul hunting.

Zhao Wuji started talking from the time he entered the forest until he left the forest, and he recounted every detail of the big and small things that happened during that time.

Flanders also took a deep breath. Such a normal soul hunting had turned out to be a mess.
"It's ok that you met the snake lady from the peerless dragon and snake couple, but you actually met the Titan ape, the king of the forest. I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky, but it's a good thing that you came back safely."

"And our academy has gained three Soul Masters at once. Oscar is only 14 years old, and Tang San and Xiao Wu are only 12 years old. It seems that our academy has really found a treasure, haha..."

Just as he was laughing, a cold voice came from the door:

"So, my disciple has also broken through the 30th level of soul power and absorbed the soul ring, and has become a soul master."

As soon as these words were spoken, Flanders and Zhao Wuji both looked towards the door, and saw a middle-aged man with a stiff face standing at the door. He was tall and thin, with a gloomy expression, giving people a decadent feeling.

Zhao Wuji frowned. He could see that this person was not very strong, but facing two Soul Saints, himself and Flanders, he showed no awe at all. Instead, he was very casual, which made him guess his identity:

"Your disciple, is it Tang San? You are Yu Xiaogang, who is known as the master!"

Flanders walked forward with a smile, patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder, and then introduced the two to each other:

"Yes, he is Yu Xiaogang, my old friend and Tang San's teacher. Xiaogang, this guy is Zhao Wuji, with a nickname called Acalanatha, and he is also my teacher at Shrek Academy."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said to Zhao Wuji:
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, thank you Teacher Zhao for taking care of me along the way. I will go see my disciples now."

Zhao Wuji gave Flanders face and treated Yu Xiaogang as an equal, then said:

"They called me teacher, so I naturally had to protect them. After I came back, I disbanded the team. They should all go back to rest."

Then, Yu Xiaogang turned and left, and Flanders said to Zhao Wuji:
"Thank you for your hard work in this soul hunting. I'll give you a few days off to have a good rest."

When Zhao Wuji heard this, he grinned unwillingly and said:
"Boss Fland, I fought a tough fight with the Titan Ape this time. Can I recover in just a few days? You have to pay for the medical expenses."

When Flanders heard this, he immediately returned to his stingy nature, looked alert, and said in a deep voice:
"That won't do. The academy isn't well-off. Besides, with your physical condition, you can just rest for a few more days."

Zhao Wuji's face changed, and he left cursing, muttering to himself:
"Stingy, miserly, a miser who never gives a penny."

...Tang San and Xiao Wu, after the team was disbanded, they did not separate immediately. The two of them took a walk in the academy. No one spoke, they just took a walk.

Not long after, Yu Xiaogang's voice came from afar:
"Xiao San, Xiao Wu, congratulations, you have both become Soul Masters."

Hearing this voice, Tang San's face was very excited. He ran to Yu Xiaogang with Xiao Wu and said:

"Teacher, when did you come?"

Yu Xiaogang forced a smile on his stiff face and said:
"Just after you left Notting College, I formally said goodbye to the dean, packed my things, and came to Shrek. Calculating the time, I arrived here just when you went to hunt souls."

"Come with me and tell me about your third soul skills. The effect of a thousand-year third soul skill must be far superior to a hundred-year soul skill."

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu and first told her about his situation:

"Teacher, my third spirit ring comes from a 1600-year-old mandragora snake. It has a huge effect on my blue silver grass. After using the third spirit skill, Blue Silver Snake Entanglement, the blue silver grass will become thicker and look like a mandragora snake."

"I've tried it. The Blue Silver Grass in this state, when I use all my strength, is enough to break a tree as thick as a bowl without breaking itself."

"As for the toxin above, because the third soul ring is the same as the first soul ring, it comes from the Mandragora snake, and it is a Mandragora snake from 1600 years ago. The paralysis toxin has been greatly enhanced, enough to make an adult bison lose its resistance in a very short time."

"The toughness and venom of the Mandragora Snake are really suitable for my Blue Silver Grass. I think few people within the Soul Master level can break free from my control."

After Yu Xiaogang heard this, his eyes were filled with pride, as if he was the one who became stronger. He nodded and said:

"Very good. Your theory of the ten core competitions of martial spirits is correct. It is a remarkable achievement that you have cultivated the common blue silver grass to this level. The blue silver grass is weak in nature and will not resist any spirit ring. It needs a powerful spirit beast like the Mandragora Snake to provide you with strength."

After saying this, he turned his gaze towards Xiao Wu again.

Xiao Wu had no intention of hiding anything:
"My third soul ring comes from a thousand-year-old rabbit soul beast. The soul skill it produces is the ability to teleport at will within five meters."

Yu Xiaogang was shocked in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, and then he spoke with a very firm tone:
"It seems that the rabbit soul beast you are talking about should be a thousand-year-old lightning rabbit. If you use this soul skill well, it can make you invincible in battle."

Xiao Wu did not expose the truth. This spirit ring was condensed by herself, not from some lightning rabbit. She followed Yu Xiaogang's words and responded:

"Okay, Master, I will make good use of this soul skill."

Finally, Yu Xiaogang looked at the two of them and said:

"Okay, Xiaosan, do you have any questions for me?"

Tang San was silent for a moment, his eyes deep, and then he asked very seriously:

"Teacher, you once told me that the maximum age of the first spirit ring is 423 years, the maximum age of the second spirit ring is 764 years, and the maximum age of the third spirit ring is 1760 years. But is it really impossible to exceed the limit and absorb spirit rings?"

Yu Xiaogang's face froze, he took a deep breath, and then said:
"You want to ask about Chen Yuan's situation, right? I've heard about his situation from Flanders, and even I can't figure it out..."
