Flender Couldn't Handle Him, So He Had to Leave Him to Yu Xiaogang

Yu Xiaogang pointed at Zhao Wuji's nose and berated him, "Is that any way to be a teacher?"

"It would have been one thing if you hadn't helped Xiao San with Soul Hunting, but you even put him in danger. If Xiao San's talent is ruined, I won't let this go!"

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists.

Tang San's Third Soul Skill came from the Thorned Demon Vine. What was wrong with it?

Besides, shouldn't a plant-type Soul Master absorb plant-type Soul Rings?

That bastard Yu Xiaogang was clearly relying on Flender's "indulgence" to spout nonsense here.

Moreover, Shrek Academy had never helped its students with Soul Hunting before. This time, he had stepped in entirely out of respect for Tang Hao.

This guy was nothing more than a dog of the Tang Family, yet he did not even realize it!

Flender looked thoroughly embarrassed.

The one who had helped Tang San with Soul Hunting was Wu Qi, the disciple he had personally chosen.

If Yu Xiaogang found out about it, he would probably scold Flender along with him.

After a few words of persuasion, Yu Xiaogang left the Principal's Office still grumbling and headed toward the dormitories.

The resentment Zhao Wuji had bottled up in his heart finally burst out. "Principal, what the hell is that guy? Are you really planning to keep someone like him in the academy? Do you even still see me as your brother?"

Flender was also in a difficult position, but Yu Xiaogang possessed a reserve of knowledge none of them had.

So he appealed to both reason and emotion. "Old Zhao, the academy already has six students. Once Wu Qi and the others join, there will be nine."

"That lineup will be enough to enter the Soul Master Tournament. Don't you want the academy's name to become famous across the entire continent?"

"But—"

"No buts. I plan to hand the children's training entirely over to Xiao Gang. In the future, we can take it easy. Old Zhao, let Xiao Gang do the work while we get the reputation for free. Isn't that a good thing?"

In the dormitory, Tang San sat at his desk, tinkering with the Hidden Weapons in his hands.

This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had made him realize the shortcomings of his Hidden Weapons.

If he could forge one of the top ten Hidden Weapons from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Xiao Wu would not have been taken away, nor would he have been forced into a bitter battle with the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the door.

Tang San immediately stopped what he was doing.

If Oscar had returned to the dormitory, he would never have knocked.

Hidden Weapons were his greatest secret and absolutely could not be discovered by outsiders.

With a light brush of his finger across Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon, all the materials and blueprints for the Hidden Weapons on the desk were stored inside the Soul Tool.

When the door opened, Tang San was greatly startled by the visitor's appearance. He then warmly greeted him, "Teacher, you're here. Come in quickly."

After entering the room, Yu Xiaogang leaned back in a chair and looked up at Tang San. "Xiao San, tell me about your Third Soul Ring."

Tang San's expression tightened.

His Third Soul Ring had come from the Thorned Demon Vine, not from the animal-type Soul Beast Yu Xiaogang had designated for him.

As his cultivation of his martial soul deepened, he had also realized that Yu Xiaogang intended to develop his Blue Silver Grass martial soul toward a highly poisonous path.

The Man Faced Demon Spider itself was highly venomous, making it undoubtedly the most suitable Soul Ring for him.

Unfortunately, by the time Wu Qi stepped in, that Man Faced Demon Spider had already slipped into the Underground Cave and vanished without a trace.

Afterward, at Wu Qi's suggestion, he obtained the Thorned Demon Vine's Soul Ring instead.

Of course, he was very grateful for Wu Qi's help. Since Wu Qi was not Yu Xiaogang's disciple, he naturally did not understand Yu Xiaogang's Good Intentions.

Thinking back on it now, Tang San felt a wave of worry.

If his Third Soul Ring did not match his first two Soul Rings, his martial soul cultivation might be ruined.

If he had the chance to do it over, Tang San knew he would still make the same choice.

Xiao Wu's safety mattered more than anything else to him!

"Teacher, my Third Soul Skill is called Thorned Binding. Ever since obtaining this Soul Ring, I can feel that Blue Silver Grass has become tougher than before."

"And the spikes on the Blue Silver Grass are sharp enough that anyone trying to break free from the binding will injure themselves as well."

After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang slapped his thigh. "Xiao San, you were foolish."

"Your First and Second Soul Rings both added a certain poison attribute. Have you forgotten how you taught Wang Sheng and the others a lesson when you obtained your First Soul Ring?"

"If your Third Soul Ring had come from the Man Faced Demon Spider, you could have fully inherited its venom. Then... sigh."

Yu Xiaogang did not continue. He believed Tang San was smart enough to understand his intentions.

But he could not understand why Tang San, who was usually so obedient and respectful toward his teacher, had acted so irrationally.

Tang San gave a bitter smile and explained what had happened.

However, he greatly altered Wu Qi's role in the matter.

He emphasized the efforts Wu Qi and the others had made, but did not mention that the suggestion had come from Wu Qi.

Dai Mubai had previously said that Wu Qi would be their classmate in the future and was also Flender's chief disciple.

Tang San understood Yu Xiaogang's temperament. For the sake of harmony among his future classmates, he chose to keep silent.

Today was not the first time Yu Xiaogang had heard the name "Wu Qi." Moreover, both Flender and Zhao Wuji held him in extremely high regard.

Tang San's Third Soul Ring was already a settled matter, so there was no point in saying anything further.

Besides, Yu Xiaogang did not want this matter to provoke Tang San's rebelliousness.

Being able to take in such a disciple was his good fortune. If he angered Tang San into leaving, who could he complain to?

Yu Xiaogang appeared to change the subject, but he actually wanted to probe Wu Qi's capabilities. "Xiao San, is this Wu Qi very powerful?"

In Flender's eyes, Wu Qi's strength could actually surpass Tang San's. Yu Xiaogang felt it was necessary to get to know him.

If possible, he also wanted to accept Wu Qi as his disciple.

Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls and had limitless potential. He would definitely become the senior disciple in the future.

Wu Qi's talent was certainly not weak, but in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, he definitely could not compare to Tang San. Not to mention that Tang San's other martial soul was the number one tool martial soul on the continent—the Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang San acknowledged Wu Qi's strength.

Back in the Soul Beast Forest, when facing the Man Faced Demon Spider, he could only barely hold it back. Yet Wu Qi had actually fought it until it was forced to flee.

Later, while hunting the Thorned Demon Vine, Wu Qi had also done all the work by himself.

Wu Qi was so fast that Tang San had to rely on the Purple Demon Eye just to see him clearly.

Moreover, Dai Mubai had personally admitted that he had lost to Wu Qi. Tang San knew Dai Mubai's personality; for him to voluntarily admit defeat, he must have been beaten head-on.

After describing Wu Qi's strength, Tang San mentioned Flender's plan to take him as a disciple.

"Oh? Flender wants to accept him as a disciple too?" Yu Xiaogang suddenly understood.

So Flender had also taken a liking to Wu Qi's talent. No wonder he praised him so highly.

However, such a talented genius could not be held back by Flender. He had to be taken under Yu Xiaogang's wing.

"Xiao San, do you know where they are staying? Or when they will arrive at Shrek Academy?"

Tang San shook his head.

Dai Mubai had said that he and Flender had previously searched the city for Wu Qi and the others, but found nothing.

However, Wu Qi and the others were voluntarily training at the Great Soul Arena. They would definitely be found there.

"Teacher, if we want to invite them to join the academy, the principal and Boss Dai can handle it. Why do we need to worry about it?"
