Thousand-Year Mandala Snake Soul Ring, Mist Seed

Two rays of light flew out from the panel. One of them, a yellow light containing the age of a soul ring, flew toward the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul on his left hand and merged into the Mandala Snake Soul Ring.

The Mandala Snake Soul Ring trembled slightly, its original yellow color gradually deepening and shifting toward purple.

The other white light merged into the center of Luo Sanpao's forehead. Luo Sanpao immediately drooped its eyes, curled up into a ball on the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

A quarter of an hour later, the absorption was complete. The Mandala Snake Soul Ring on his left hand had completely turned purple, and Luo Sanpao, who had been curled up on the ground, woke up, its eyes sparkling with intelligence.

Two pieces of information then flooded into Yu Xiaogang's mind. After digesting them, he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression.

After the Mandala Snake Soul Ring was promoted to a Thousand Year Soul Ring, its power had increased significantly. The attack range of the soul skill Thunderous Poison Dragon Claw had nearly doubled, and it could now unleash claw energy to attack enemies from a distance.

As for Luo Sanpao, it had awakened a brand-new ability called "Mist Seed."

These Mist Seeds were compressed from high-concentration gas. When releasing its first or second soul skills, they could be mixed in. Once an enemy was contaminated with a certain amount, they could be actively triggered, turning into strands of gas that formed a mist net to bind the enemy.

The Mist Seed ability comes from the Martial Soul itself, which means that no matter what kind of soul skills I obtain in the future, they can be combined with it. In this way, I can cultivate Luo Sanpao in the direction of a Control System Martial Soul.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

He prepared to replicate Tang San's model, using the system to distribute all the remaining soul rings of the Blue Silver Grass to Luo Sanpao. As for the Clear Sky Hammer's soul rings, he would choose one to decompose and distribute the rest to the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

In this way, wouldn't I become a little Tang San?

Associating this with the upcoming plot, the system's entries would likely include soul bones, immortal herbs, domains...

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but nod. Regarding the prospect of becoming a little Tang San, he felt no resistance, but rather, was filled with anticipation.

"This is the correct way to unlock Teacher Tang San!"

"Come on, a wonderful life is right before my eyes!"

Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, continuing to grind away at the cultivation progress of his Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Time spent cultivating flowed like water; in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

In the morning, warm sunlight spilled over the various buildings of Nuoding Academy.

In front of the teaching building, the plaza, which usually had few people gathered, was now bustling with activity.

Countless graduating boys and girls gathered together, chatting with one another, their faces brimming with youthful smiles.

In an area on the left side of the plaza, there was a crowd significantly larger than the others.

In the center of the crowd were two figures. One of them wore a pink dress, her smooth, long hair combed into a scorpion braid that hung naturally down her back.

With long, slender legs, a waist that could be held in one hand, a slightly developed chest, and a round, beautiful face, her youthful and vibrant temperament made the young girl undoubtedly the focus of the crowd.

This person was none other than Xiao Wu. Now twelve years old, she had grown to over 1.7 meters tall, having blossomed into a young woman.

Standing beside her, slightly shorter, was naturally Tang San.

He wore simple light blue casual clothes, with the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night tied around his waist. His long black hair draped over his shoulders, and his slender, capable physique, paired with the gentle smile on his face, gave him an air that was both approachable and powerful.

At this moment, Xiao Wu, acting as the big sister of the academy, was giving a speech to the crowd, reminiscing about times past.

Tang San stood to the side, watching Xiao Wu silently, his face full of smiles.

After Xiao Wu finished her speech, a boy from the innermost part of the crowd asked, "Sister Xiao Wu, have you and Brother Tang San decided which Intermediate Soul Master Academy you're going to?"

Xiao Wu was stunned upon hearing this. "It seems like there were a few invitations from Intermediate Soul Master Academies, right, Little San?" She then looked toward Tang San.

Seeing this, Tang San smiled and said to the surrounding students, "We have indeed received invitations from quite a few academies, but we haven't decided on our final destination yet."

"Sister Xiao Wu and Brother Tang San are just too amazing!"

"Twelve-year-old Soul Grand Masters—even if you go to an Intermediate Soul Master Academy, you'll be among the very best."

"I'm so envious!"

The crowd sighed in admiration. Just then, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly drifted over.

Tang San looked toward the sound, and after seeing who it was, he stepped out of the crowd and walked toward the two figures at the edge of the plaza.

"Teacher, you're here!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded, then handed a letter to Tang San.

"You will set off in three days for Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom to take the entrance exam for Shrek Academy. Once you pass the assessment, give this letter to the dean of Shrek Academy."

"I have some other matters to attend to, so I won't be going with you."

Tang San took the letter, glanced at the envelope, and tucked it into his Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night before asking, "I wonder, what is this Shrek Academy..."

"You'll know when the time comes."

Yu Xiaogang naturally wanted to keep him in suspense, while Klay, standing to the side, had set aside his usual boisterous personality, a faint smile playing on his lips as he remained silent.

After patting Tang San on the shoulder, Yu Xiaogang and Klay left the plaza and arrived at a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria.

After ordering a table full of good food, the two began to eat and drink, and before long, they opened up the conversation.

"Sigh, looking at this group of kids, it reminds me of my own youth. Back then in the Martial Soul Hall, I was quite the famous heartthrob, too!"

Klay took a sip of rice wine, unable to help but reminisce about the past.

"Is that so? I seem to recall you were always at the bottom of the class."

Yu Xiaogang chuckled with a teasing remark, then picked up a piece of fish, placed it in his mouth, and took a sip of rice wine.

"That's still better than you, the one at the very bottom!"

Klay snorted coldly, then added, "But you really did take in a good disciple. Tang San is the most outstanding student I have ever seen in my life, even if you compare him to those in Martial Soul Hall."

"Oh, right. You mentioned yesterday that you were going to the Martial Soul Sacred Hall in Heaven Dou City?"

"Yes. I'm going there to gather information on Martial Soul cultivation and see if there were any other Spirit Masters in history who cultivated the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, so I can use it as a reference for Little San," Yu Xiaogang replied.

"To access the archives at the Martial Soul Sacred Hall, you'd need the status of an Elder. Where would a guy like you get that kind of clearance?"

"I have a Martial Soul Hall Elder Token."

Hearing this, Klay immediately set down his wine cup and stared at Yu Xiaogang with a face full of shock.

At that moment, it was as if a mysterious veil had been drawn between the two of them, making him unable to recognize the old friend standing before him.

However, the next instant, Klay seemed to recall something. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his old face actually revealed an expression of gossip.

"Oh~, so you're still in contact with her!"

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang knew Klay was thinking of Bibi Dong, so he spoke up to deny it. "Don't let your imagination run wild. This Elder Token has nothing to do with her. Ever since I left Martial Soul Hall, I've had no connection with her."

"Alright, no need to explain. I understand!"

Klay took the initiative to step forward and pour a cup for Yu Xiaogang. "Drink up, Big Brother!"

Yu Xiaogang sighed. Knowing that the more he explained, the more suspicious it would look, he decided to stop paying attention to Klay.

In fact, this Elder Token of his had been left behind five years ago by Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

And the reason Tang Hao left this token was, in all likelihood, to allow him to better cultivate Tang San by utilizing the archives of Martial Soul Hall.
