Shrek and the Strength Clan
When Flender saw that it was Tang San and his group, he was completely stunned.
He stood up and looked Tang San and the others over several times.
"Good lads, you're finally back!" Flender strode over, patted Tang San hard on the shoulder, his eyes filled with relief and excitement.
"Dean, it's been a long time." Tang San smiled.
Flender's gaze swept over the five people, his pupils contracting slightly.
He is now a Soul Douluo and has an extremely keen sense of Soul Power fluctuations.
Flender could sense that the auras of these five young people were not much weaker than his own, especially Tang San.
"What... what level are you at now?" Flender's voice was a little dry.
Tang San didn't hide anything and told the truth, "I'm level 76, Yan Yan is level 67, Xiao Wu is level 64, Bing'er level 63, Lingling is level 62."
Flender's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes widened.
Level 76? Soul Saint?
How old is this kid? Eighteen? Nineteen?
Flender took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
He shook his head and let out a sigh of admiration, "You monsters are really... I knew you weren't ordinary people from the beginning, but I never imagined you could be this monstrous."
Tang San smiled but didn't reply.
The group sat down on the sofa.
Tang San asked, "Dean, how is the academy after we left? What about the other students?"
Flender leaned back in his chair, remained silent for a moment, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
"After you left, Erlong and I took Xiaogang's body back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
His voice lowered, carrying an indescribable heaviness.
"When the old sect leader, Yu Yuanzhen, saw Xiaogang's body, he was enraged. He vowed to avenge Bibi Dong in blood, but..."
Flender shook his head.
Tang San remained silent for a moment, feeling a mix of emotions.
Where are the other team members?
Tang San changed the subject.
Flender composed himself and began to count them one by one.
"After Dai Mubai returned, he went back to the Star Luo Empire. After learning about his situation, the Star Luo Empire's emperor and Dai Weisi no longer held any hope for him and officially appointed Dai Weisi as the crown prince."
Tang San nodded; this was exactly what he expected.
Flender continued, "Zhu Zhuqing stayed at the academy for a while. Two years ago, she received a notice from Dai Mubai announcing the dissolution of their engagement. After that, she left alone, saying she was going out to gain experience, and there has been no news of her since."
Tang San frowned slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing's personality, it's uncertain whether she'll encounter any danger while traveling alone.
But then she thought, she should already be at least a Soul Ancestor, so protecting herself shouldn't be a problem.
Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Oscar also joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Tai Long, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and the others have all graduated. Tai Long returned to the Strength Clan, and Huang Yuan and Jing Ling also went home.
After Flender finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Tang San nodded, understanding dawning on his mind.
Just then, a round figure ran over from the other end of the corridor.
It was Ma Hongjun.
Three years have passed, Ma Hongjun hasn't changed much. He still has the same chubby figure, round face, and small eyes.
But his demeanor has changed quite a bit.
The impetuousness of the past has faded in the small eyes, replaced by a peace that comes from having experienced setbacks.
"Third Brother? Sisters-in-law? You're back." Ma Hongjun was stunned for a moment when he saw the people in the office, then grinned.
Tang San stood up and patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder. "Fatty, long time no see. How have you been?"
"Fortunately, I'm already level 43. The Evil Fire still flares up occasionally, but much less frequently."
Ma Hongjun said with a wry smile, "The teacher built me a cryo-chamber. If I can't stand it, I can go to the cryo-chamber to calm down."
Tang San smiled but didn't say anything more.
After chatting for a while, Tang San looked at the sky outside the window and stood up.
"Dean, we have to go now. We'll come back to visit you when we have time."
Flender nodded, stood up, and escorted the five people to the door.
The five people walked out of the office building, crossed the playground, and headed towards the school gate.
As Tang San walked out of the school gate, he stopped, turned around, and looked at the four girls.
"You all go back to your residence first. I'm going to the Strength Clan. I have some things I'd like to discuss with Senior Tai Tan."
Dugu Yan nodded, a knowing glint in her eyes. "Alright, then come back soon."
Tang San waved his hand, his shifty eyes revealing a mischievous glint in his eye, and said, "Okay, I'll be back soon. I'll keep you company tonight."
The four girls blushed slightly, snorted, and turned to walk towards the Dugu Manor.
Upon arriving at the residence of the Strength Clan, guided by the gatekeeper, we passed through the front yard and arrived at the training ground.
Tai Tan and Tai Long were standing in the center of the training ground, watching several young disciples spar.
Tang San quickened his pace and called out, "Senior Tai Tan! Tai Long!"
Tai Tan turned around, saw Tang San, and immediately strode over, clasping his hands in a fist and bowing slightly. "Young Master!"
Tang San's lips twitched. It was that nickname again. He couldn't be bothered to care anymore.
Tai Lung smiled honestly and said, "Captain, you are finally back!"
Tang San patted him on the shoulder in greeting.
The three entered the reception room.
"Young Master, is there anything you wish to instruct this old servant upon your return?"
Tang San took out a stack of blueprints from his Storage Soul Tool, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Tai Tan.
"Senior Tai Tan, please take a look at these."
Tai Tan picked up the blueprints and began to examine them page by page.
His brows went from relaxed to furrowed, and from furrowed to shocked.
"This... this is... what kind of Hidden Weapon is this? It's so ingeniously designed!"
Tang San smiled and said, "I got these blueprints from someone; I've never seen them before."
Tai Tan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
He examined each drawing carefully, his fingers lightly tracing the surface, his eyes filled with admiration.
Tang San looked at Tai Tan earnestly and said, "Senior Tai Tan, I would like to ask for your help in making a few prototypes based on these blueprints."
"Young Master, you've come to the right person. The blacksmithing skills of our Strength Clan are among the best in the entire continent."
Tai Tan patted his chest and said.
Tang San nodded. "Alright, I will recommend them to His Crown Prince and suggest that he establish an army specifically equipped with these weapons. Then, we can entrust this entire business to the Strength Clan."
Tai Tan's eyes lit up, and he nodded emphatically. "Good! Young Master, rest assured, this old servant will definitely forge these Hidden Weapons using the best craftsmanship."
Tang San stood up and clasped his hands in thanks to Tai Tan: "Then Tai Tan, Senior Titan."
Tai Tan quickly stood up and waved his hand, "Young Master, there's no need for such formalities. Your affairs are my affairs."
Tai Lung also stood up and smiled honestly, "Captain, don't worry, I will also help."
Tang San smiled and patted Tai Long on the shoulder, "Alright, then thank you for your hard work."
"Young Master, I'll keep these blueprints for now and study them."
Tai Tan carefully put away the blueprints. "Once the sample is made, I'll personally deliver it to you."
Tang San nodded. "Alright. Then I'll take my leave. I live at the Dugu Manor; feel free to come find me if you need anything."
Tai Tan and Tai Long escorted Tang San to the entrance of the mansion. Tang San waved to them and turned to walk along the street towards the Dugu Manor.
