The Power of Tian Heng and Xiao Wu

That night, Ning Rongrong had the guards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect bring over the parts that Tang San had customized, along with the metal that Tang San had ordered there and the furnace for casting Hidden Weapon.

Looking at these things, Tang San wished he could immediately throw himself into forging Hidden Weapon weapons and arm himself to the teeth to avoid the situation where he lost to Ye Qinghe last time due to a lack of Hidden Weapon.

However, he knew that this was unrealistic; the most urgent task was to recover from his injury.

Soon, Tang San returned to his room and casually made an excuse to send Oscar away, so as not to be spied on while assembling the Hidden Weapon and expose the secrets of the Tang Sect.

By the time Oscar returned, Tang San had already assembled a complete set of mechanical Hidden Weapon, including the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow.

Tang San asked him to deliver Hidden Weapon to Ning Rongrong. Oscar, completely unaware that Ning Rongrong was about to leave, happily delivered them.

As a result, Ning Rongrong only accepted the Hidden Weapon and did not tell Oscar about her 'leave'.

After several days passed without seeing Ning Rongrong again, Oscar finally learned that Ning Rongrong had taken leave and gone home.

Oscar was naturally devastated and became extremely depressed. He even began to resent Tang San for not telling him about Ning Rongrong's departure the night before.

However, he only dared to complain in his heart; as a food-type Soul Master, he dared not go against Tang San.

Tang San was completely unaware of this, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. In his view, sending Oscar to deliver the Hidden Weapon to Ning Rongrong was already giving Oscar a chance, and Oscar's failure to seize it was his own fault.

If you blame him for this, then you deserve to die.

Half a month later, thanks to the ample supply of sausages and Sugar Bean, Tang San finally made a full recovery and then devoted himself to the forging of Hidden Weapon.

While Tang San was busy forging Hidden Weapon, Yu Xiaogang didn't let anyone else sit idle.

In order to prevent the others from dragging Tang San down like they did in the last battle against the Imperial Fighting Team, he decided on a whim to give them a special training session.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Yu Tianheng, and Xiao Wu naturally had no objections to this.

Nothing more.

Because Yu Tianheng was Yu Xiaogang's nephew, and because he felt guilty towards Yu Xiaogang for becoming a Yu Xiaogang, he chose to obey him.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar dared not openly disobey Yu Xiaogang because Yu Xiaogang had Flender's backing.

Dai Mubai still needs Yu Xiaogang to help him find Clear Sky Douluo as a backer. They're too busy currying favor with him to possibly oppose him.

Even if they harbor resentment, they will only suppress it.

As for Xiao Wu, she didn't value Yu Xiaogang's training much. However, Ning Rongrong had already taken leave to go home, and as a transformed Soul Beast, she needed to come into contact with human auras to improve her strength more quickly.

So he agreed to train with Dai Mubai and the others.

The five of them worked from sunrise to sunset every day, and the days passed by like this.

At first, the five people harbored some resentment, but after a month, four of them improved their Soul Power, and their resentment gradually turned into respect.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun achieved breakthroughs within just one month because Ye Qinghe had used his life force to heal their injuries and stimulate, or rather... ignite, their potential.

Oscar, after obtaining his Soul Ring, finally broke through to level 32 in Soul Power five months later, catching up with Tang San. This was an extremely rare achievement for him as a support-type Soul Master, and he was genuinely excited for a long time.

Ma Hongjun was even more exaggerated; in less than three months, he broke through another level, reaching level twenty-nine. He was equally excited.

Although Dai Mubai, who had just broken through to level 38 last month, had not increased his Soul Power, he clearly felt that his cultivation speed had increased significantly, even though Ye Qinghe had also consumed his life force. Perhaps in a few months, he would be able to catch up with Yu Tianheng. The last trace of doubt he had about Yu Xiaogang had also vanished.

Yu Tianheng broke through to level 40 naturally because he had been stuck at level 39 for almost a year.

Xiao Wu, relying on her talent as a transformed Soul Beast, also leveled up, reaching level thirty-two.

Everyone except Xiao Wu believed that Yu Xiaogang's training had been effective.

Yu Xiaogang himself felt that this was his achievement and was very gratified. He naturally assumed that under his guidance, Shrek would be able to learn from their shame and become brave, and eventually defeat the Imperial Fighting Team in the Soul Master Tournament, thus avenging their previous defeat.

It's even possible that they could defeat the Spirit Hall Team.

On this day, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Xiao Wu gathered on the dilapidated playground of the Shrek Academy as usual.

Yu Xiaogang's gaze swept over the five students with satisfaction, and she nodded, saying, "Good, very good. After nearly a month of intensive training, you have all made great progress. I would like to give special praise to Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Xiao Wu. You have all been able to improve your Soul Power in a short period of time through my training, and you have certainly lived up to my expectations."

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun and Oscar couldn't help but smile faintly. Xiao Wu glanced at Yu Tianheng, then looked at Yu Xiaogang with anticipation, hoping he could lead everyone to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Ring for Yu Tianheng.

In this way, she could run away just like Ning Rongrong.

"Tian Heng, I remember you're still a month away from turning twenty-one, right?" Yu Xiaogang turned her gaze to Yu Tianheng.

"Yes, Grandmaster. It's all thanks to your excellent teaching," Yu Tianheng replied respectfully.

Yu Xiaogang remained noncommittal. "According to the Shrek Academy's rules, you've already met the graduation requirements by breaking through level 40 at age 20. However, the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy will begin in two years. I've discussed it with Flender, and we'll let you graduate after the Soul Master Tournament."

In reality, Shrek's graduation requirements are to break through level 40 before the age of 20 and obtain the fourth Soul Ring on one's own.

However, it was changed under Yu Xiaogang's intervention.

The graduation age was changed to twenty by Yu Xiaogang, who threatened to take Tang San and Yu Tianheng away. Furthermore, Flender had to personally handle the hunt for the fourth Soul Ring, eliminating the need for them to hunt alone.

"Yes, Grandmaster." Yu Tianheng Shrek Academy with the intention of participating in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy two years later as the captain of Shrek Academy, so he naturally wouldn't refuse Yu Xiaogang's request.

Finally, Yu Xiaogang looked at Dai Mubai, "Mubai, of the four, only your Soul Power hasn't improved. You need to work harder."

Dai Mubai assured him, "Grandmaster, don't worry, my Soul Power will definitely break through to level thirty-nine within three months at most."

Three months is just Dai Mubai's conservative estimate. At his current cultivation speed, he might be able to break through to level 39 in two months.

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction. Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly spoke up, "Grandmaster, Boss Yu has already broken through to level 40. Shouldn't we go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Ring for him?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, "In a few days, we'll be heading to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Once we get there, we can just go to Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City to help him hunt for Soul Ring. Alright, let's begin today's training."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but show a disappointed expression; she had originally intended to take the opportunity to run away.

Soon, the five of them began their training as usual. But not long after, the way Dai Mubai and the other three looked at Xiao Wu changed.
