Yu Xiaogang's Mysterious Confidence, Tang San Must Have Already Made a Name for Himself!

System mission completed!

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: System Essence × 2000 points!

System Essence has been deposited into your system account. The Host may check it at any time!

Gu Xuan's eyes lit up. The mission reward had arrived.

"Tang San, if you act without my permission again—"

"—you will be expelled from Shrek Academy immediately!"

Zhao Wuji looked at Tang San, who had recovered somewhat, and reprimanded him mercilessly.

Because of Tang San this time, they had lost a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

The only reason Zhao Wuji had not expelled him outright was out of consideration for his master Yu Xiaogang's relationship with the dean.

Tang San lowered his head, not daring to utter a single word.

Meng Yiran's antidote had already eased seventy to eighty percent of the pain.

He cautiously climbed to his feet, but kept his head lowered the entire time.

He did not dare look anyone in the eye.

"Everyone, fall back, quickly!"

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji let out an angry roar.

An incomparably cold, harsh aura burst forth from him.

He directly summoned his Martial Soul, and the Great Strength Vajra Bear instantly possessed him.

Everyone instinctively retreated.

But Tang San was utterly bewildered.

Sure, Oscar had lost a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring because of him.

But it was not enough for Zhao Wuji to attack him, was it?

Just then, the two towering trees before Tang San slowly parted to either side.

Immediately afterward, a massive figure silently emerged.

It looked like both an ape and a gorilla.

Its entire body was pitch-black, save for a pair of lantern-sized eyes that gleamed like yellow crystals.

Its body was unbelievably brawny.

Every part of it was covered in powerful muscles more terrifying than granite.

They bulged like small hills.

"Titan Giant Ape!"

Gu Xuan was startled inwardly.

Although he had known the plot beforehand.

He still could not help being shocked when he saw it for real.

All seven of Zhao Wuji's spirit rings lit up at once as he charged forward.

The others were all dumbstruck.

As for Tang San, his vision went black, and he fainted from fright on the spot.

"Bang—!"

Zhao Wuji was casually slapped away by the Titan Giant Ape.

The latter took a step forward, then suddenly raised its forelimb.

It accurately scooped Xiao Wu up along with the others in its hand.

The Titan Giant Ape lowered its head to look at Xiao Wu in its palm and let out another low growl.

This time, it ignored Zhao Wuji, who was charging at it again.

It abruptly leaped into the air. With a single rise and fall, it was already a hundred meters away.

In just two breaths, it vanished into the forest.

Zhao Wuji could no longer maintain his Martial Soul Avatar.

He returned to his original form, his face ashen.

"How could the Titan Giant Ape appear in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?!"

No one answered him.

Other than Gu Xuan, the rest were completely stunned senseless.

It took them quite a while to recover.

"I'm sorry, everyone. It was all my fault. I couldn't stop it from taking Xiao Wu."

Zhao Wuji shook his head in deep self-reproach.

He let out a sigh.

"Let's leave this place quickly first, then discuss what to do."

Who knew whether that thing might turn around and come back?

Everyone left the area.

As it happened, they encountered a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast suitable for Oscar along the way.

To prevent any accidents, Zhao Wuji personally crippled it this time.

Oscar then successfully delivered the finishing blow.

He immediately began absorbing the spirit ring on the spot.

"Teacher Zhao!"

Just then, a slender figure ran out of the forest.

At the sight of her, not only Zhao Wuji froze, but the others were stunned as well.

It was Xiao Wu!

"Xiao Wu, you're alright!"

"That's wonderful!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

Xiao Wu looked somewhat bedraggled at the moment.

Her clothes were torn in several places.

"What exactly happened just now?"

Ning Rongrong asked anxiously.

"That Titan Giant Ape carried me deeper into the forest. It had not gone far when a bull's roar suddenly sounded."

"It threw me aside and ran away."

Fear flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes.

"When the Titan Giant Ape threw me down, I felt the world spin, then passed out."

"By the time I woke up, it was already gone."

"The scene was terrifying. At least dozens of Spirit Beasts around me had been knocked unconscious."

"I was terrified, but then I suddenly discovered that my Soul Power had actually broken through to Level 30."

"Then I hunted a Spirit Beast suited to me and obtained my third spirit ring."

Although there were some suspicious points in Xiao Wu's words, she had returned alive after all.

Everyone chose to believe her.

Zhao Wuji nodded, his mood instantly improving.

"It's good that you're back!"

Just then, Oscar successfully finished absorbing his spirit ring as well.

"Alright, don't think about it for now. We'll talk after we return."

Zhao Wuji looked at the group before him, and his mood suddenly relaxed greatly.

"Although we ran into some trouble this time, it was nothing serious."

"Oscar successfully obtained a spirit ring and advanced to the Soul Elder realm. It was quite a good harvest."

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. It's time to head back."

Hearing Zhao Wuji's words, everyone nodded and set off for Shrek Academy.

They did not reach Suotuo City until the following evening.

Everyone was exhausted and, without exception, returned to their rooms to rest.

The next day, when the sky had only just begun to brighten.

A middle-aged man arrived at the gates of Shrek Academy.

It was Tang San's master, Yu Xiaogang.

Looking at Shrek's somewhat dilapidated gates, he thought to himself.

Tang San must have already begun to make a name for himself at the academy!

With the careful training Yu Xiaogang had given Tang San.

And Tang San's extraordinary talent.

Even at Flender's Shrek Academy.

He was surely among the very best.

Yu Xiaogang had never worried about Tang San's talent.

He had needed to handle some other matters before, so he had gone to the imperial capital alone.

He had not come to Shrek Academy with Tang San.

But he had not been worried about Tang San coming alone.

Besides, before leaving Nuoding City, Yu Xiaogang had given Tang San a letter.

He had told him to hand it to Shrek Academy's dean after entering Shrek Academy.

That was Flender, an old acquaintance of his.

In the letter, Yu Xiaogang had stated that Tang San was his disciple.

With that connection, Flender would surely take greater care of Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang looked up at the horizon. Since it was still early, the sun had not fully risen.

The red morning glow dyed half the sky crimson.

Only a few villagers heading out to work in the fields had risen early.

As for Shrek's seven students, not a single one had gotten up yet.

One reason was that they had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest and were all somewhat exhausted.

The other reason was that.

At this moment, none of the academy's teachers, not even Dean Flender, had gotten up.

Yu Xiaogang glanced at the Shrek Academy gates at the village entrance, which might as well not have existed, then strode inside.

There was no movement at all within the academy.

Yu Xiaogang gently shook his head. This would not do.

If students did not get up early to train and study, would they not be wasting their precious time?

Who was going to learn his invincible theories?
