Yu Xiaogang Arrives, Clueless About Social Graces, and Gets Mercilessly Roasted

Tang Lin said quietly, "Actually, when I was chasing after Xiao Wu, I also happened to find a dying soul beast—a Thousand Year Man Faced Demon Spider."

"Its black carapace had been crushed to bits by something, and it was almost dead. I happened to kill it and absorb its Soul Ring."

Oscar immediately turned to look at Tang Lin.

"Your luck was that good too?"

"You two really are close. Your luck is equally good, and you even found soul beasts in exactly the same way."

Tang San walked over and kicked Oscar in the buttocks.

"Lucky my ass! Do you have any idea how dangerous it was to be alone?!"

Oscar rubbed his buttocks.

"Of course it was lucky. Didn't you both come back? And you got Soul Rings too. Both of you got them, so now we can leave already."

Zhao Wuji, however, was not thinking about that.

He was wondering what that so-called Ox Roar was.

He only knew of the Titan Giant Ape; he had never heard of any Ox Soul Beast.

But thankfully, everyone was safe and sound now.

That greatly relieved him.

"Although we ran into quite a few troubles and went through several dangers this time, we finally pulled through."

"Oscar, Tang Lin, and Xiao Wu all successfully obtained Soul Rings and advanced to the Soul Elder realm."

"The harvest was quite good. It's time to head back. Shrek Academy, here we come."

Two days later, the group finally left the Star Dou Forest and arrived at the small town on its outskirts.

After resting there for another Two Days Time, they returned to Shrek Academy.

At noon on the Fourth Day, everyone finally returned to Shrek Academy.

"We're finally back! Coming home feels so good!"

Oscar shouted exaggeratedly.

Zhao Wuji kicked him in the buttocks.

"What are you shouting for? 'Finally back,' my ass. You were scared shitless after just hunting one soul beast?"

Several People all laughed.

"Alright, go back to your Dormitory and rest. I'll go see the Dean and report on this trip."

After traveling for an entire day, everyone was exhausted.

[System Ability Refresh,]

[Current Ability: Sacrifice. You may sacrifice one target. After the sacrifice, you will receive rewards based on the value of the sacrificed target.]

[Limited to two opportunities per week.]

As Several People chatted and laughed, the System Voice rang out.

Tang Lin instantly felt that the Sixty-Forty System ability that had originally locked Zhao Wuji as its target had disappeared.

Her strength immediately returned to its original level.

"Sacrifice ability?"

Tang Lin muttered inwardly.

She casually took out a Copper Spirit Coin from her Storage Ring and silently recited in her heart, "Sacrifice."

[Sacrifice successful.]

The Copper Spirit Coin in Tang Lin's hand instantly vanished.

But in the next instant, a Gold Soul Coin appeared in its place.

"Interesting!"

Tang Lin was instantly delighted.

"Can people be sacrificed too?"

[Why don't you sacrifice the system?]

"Good idea!"

[The category of humans includes too many things. You may sacrifice part of a person, such as a certain ability, Martial Soul, and so on. The prerequisite for sacrificing a person is that the target cannot be stronger than you.]

Tang Lin's gaze instantly fell on Tang San.

There was still One Chance this week. What should he sacrifice?

Not far behind Several People, a middle-aged man in a gray robe, his face stiff and expressionless, slowly approached.

"I wonder what kind of name Tang San has made for himself at the academy. With his talent, he'll definitely come out on top here."

This man was none other than Yu Xiaogang.

He had been delayed by some matters earlier, so he had not traveled to Shrek Academy with Tang San.

However, he had not been worried.

With Tang San's talent, getting into Shrek Academy would be effortless.

Moreover, he had given Tang San a letter

and told him to deliver it to Flender after entering Shrek Academy.

It made clear that Tang San was his disciple.

Although he had not openly asked Flender to take care of Tang San, Flender would certainly do him that favor.

Suddenly, he saw a row of people standing at the entrance to Shrek Academy's village.

Three People among them had extremely familiar backs. He recognized them at once as Tang Lin, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.

Yu Xiaogang called out tentatively, "Xiao San?"

Tang San had been about to head toward his Dormitory.

Upon hearing that voice, he froze.

Then delight appeared on his face.

Tang San hurriedly turned around.

"Teacher!"

A smile instantly appeared on Yu Xiaogang's stiff face.

Hearing Tang San's voice, the others also Swiftly turned around and looked at Yu Xiaogang in surprise.

He quickly stepped forward and sized everyone up.

"Since when did Shrek Academy have so many students?"

With that one sentence, the smiles on Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar's faces instantly froze.

Shrek Academy was practically their faith, and with a single sentence, he had offended them all.

"Explain to me—what do you mean, Shrek Academy can have this many students?"

Dai Mubai glared coldly at Yu Xiaogang. If this man had not been Tang San's Teacher, he would have given him a Tiger Claw on the spot.

Zhao Wuji stood with his Legs apart, glaring at him coldly as he directly blocked him off. The atmosphere immediately became tense.

Tang Lin kept shaking her head inwardly.

Yu Xiaogang was far too lacking in social awareness.

Who started off by calling someone else's school trash the moment they met?

Didn't he know that students didn't discuss grades, workhorses didn't discuss wages, and Soul Masters didn't discuss Soul Power?

He had returned half a day early. If he had come back at the original time, Yu Xiaogang would probably have met Flender by now.

Seeing that things were going wrong, Tang San hurriedly changed the subject.

"Let me introduce everyone. This is my Teacher. Everyone in the Soul Master World calls him the Grandmaster."

Zhao Wuji crossed his arms over his chest.

"So you're the Grandmaster. Your reputation truly precedes you."

Though it sounded like praise, it struck Yu Xiaogang as exceptionally harsh.

"You published those laughable Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls. You're only Level 29 in Soul Power and haven't broken through for half your life."

"Your most classic ridiculous saying is: There are no useless Martial Souls, only Waste Soul Masters."

"I wonder if I'm right."

Yu Xiaogang instantly fell silent.

But when he saw Tang San, his confidence immediately returned.

Tang San was his pride.

"My Ten Core Theories are not some laughingstock."

"Tang San is proof of that. His First Soul Ring was absorbed from an Animal Soul Beast, which is enough to prove my Martial Soul Mimicry Theory."

Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes.

"What a joke. Did you really think no one else knew that?"

"Your rank is low and your knowledge is shallow. Everyone in the High-Level Soul Master World knows this already, yet you still call it your theory."

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly flushed crimson, and he could not say a word.

His low rank was an undeniable reality. There was no way for him to refute it.
