Hearing Ye Chen's words, Tang San couldn't help but think of Xiao Wu, the corner of his mouth curving upwards slightly.

Xiao Wu... Tang San silently chanted her name in his heart. He hadn't seen Xiao Wu for half a year either.

"Old Monster, you still have two things for me to do, right?" Tang San looked at Dugu Bo, his brows unfurling.

"I always keep my word. As long as it doesn't violate my principles as a person, I can agree to anything," Dugu Bo nodded.

Tang San chuckled, "I've already thought of the second thing. I want to take the medicinal herbs I need from here, and you can't stop me."

"Just that?" Dugu Bo smiled faintly.

"Yeah, do you agree?" Tang San asked.

"Would I not agree to something so simple?" Dugu Bo frowned, also telling Tang San not to make overly simple requests. It was rare to owe a favor to a Titled Douluo.

Tang San's lips curved upwards as he looked at Dugu Bo, "I've also thought of the third condition. I want you to be a senior advisor at our Shrek Academy."

Dugu Bo flatly refused, "No. I dislike being restricted the most. Even the Heaven Dou Empire can't make me their thug."

Tang San quickly shook his head, "Who's restricting you? You can go wherever you want. It's just a nominal position at Shrek Academy, making it convenient for Brother Chen and me to see you in the future. I'll be graduating soon anyway."

Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, looking at Tang San, "Just a nominal position?"

Tang San was overjoyed and nodded.

Dugu Bo chuckled, "Then let's leave quickly. I can bring my granddaughter over so you can help her heal."

Tang San said, "No rush. I'll leave after I collect some of the medicinal ingredients here. It will take some time. Let's head back to Shrek Academy tomorrow."

Second Day.

Ye Chen and Tang San were both fleeing.

Dugu Bo chased after them furiously, "You two little brats, I'll fight you to the death!"

Tang San was somewhat helpless as he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to escape, "Old Monster, you said we could take whatever we wanted. I only took a few of your immortal herbs, why are you so angry?"

"Damn it, I told you to take some, not to take them all!" Dugu Bo was furious. The area around the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye was filled with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. When he went to check the next day, all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had been looted clean, not even a patch of green grass remained.

"Old Monster, I left you some seeds. They'll grow back in a few decades," Tang San chuckled.

Ye Chen watched Tang San and Dugu Bo bicker, a brilliant smile on his face.

He had also taken many of these immortal herbs. They could be used for alchemy in the future.

Tang San tentatively looked at Dugu Bo, "Since Old Monster, you're going back to Shrek Academy with us anyway, cough cough, why don't we leave now?"

"I'll give you more Hidden Weapons in the future, and Brother Chen can give you some Pills too," Tang San tried to appease Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo glared at Tang San, "Let's go."

Tang San and Ye Chen exchanged glances and followed Dugu Bo towards Shrek Academy.

Although Sunset Forest had many soul beasts, with Dugu Bo around, the soul beasts didn't dare to attack Ye Chen and Tang San.

Upon arriving at Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo stopped and looked at Ye Chen and Tang San, "You two, lead the way."

Tang San sidled up to Dugu Bo, "Old Monster, not angry anymore?"

Dugu Bo tapped Tang San's head, "I keep my word. This is a one-time thing."

What Tang San didn't say was that "one-time thing" would at least wait for a few decades.

"It was just giving you some herbs. Although I felt a bit pained, I've reached level ninety-three. All the poison has been resolved, and my whole body feels light." Dugu Bo glanced at Ye Chen, full of joy.

Being able to advance to level ninety-three doubled Dugu Bo's combat power. His strength was now incomparable to what it was before.

"But... you little monster, you dared to trick me." Dugu Bo looked at Tang San.

Tang San looked wary, thinking about what bad ideas Dugu Bo was cooking up again.

Dugu Bo looked at Ye Chen and Tang San and said, "Ye Chen's girlfriend is Ning Fengzhi's daughter, not easy to poach. You don't have a girlfriend yet, do you? My granddaughter is only a few years older than you. You two could still get married. It's a bargain for you."

Tang San took two steps back, "Bargain my foot! I have no interest in your granddaughter."

"Besides, she's already with Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. They might have already pledged their lives to each other. Why should I care about this matter?"

Dugu Bo shrugged helplessly, looking regretful.

This granddaughter, not at all ambitious. If she were single, why wouldn't she choose to be with either Ye Chen or Tang San?

No matter how strong the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was, could it compare to Tang San's father?

Tang San's achievements would surely not be inferior to Tang Hao's. As for Ye Chen's talent, that was even more beyond question.

Before long, everyone arrived at Shrek Academy.

After the gatekeeper announced their arrival, Flender, Grandmaster, and Zhao Wuji came out.

All three were shocked when they saw Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo had actually come to Shrek Academy with Ye Chen and Tang San.

Ye Chen and Tang San quickly stepped forward and said, "Dean Flender, Senior Dugu wishes to come to our academy as an advisor. Do you think it's possible?"

"!!!" Flender.

"!!!" Zhao Wuji, Grandmaster, and everyone else.

Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo.

Trying to win over a Titled Douluo is impossible, even with money.

Titled Douluos don't lack money, yet Dugu Bo is willing to come to Shrek Academy as a consultant.

This means Dugu Bo is already considered one of Shrek Academy's own. Can he still run away?

How did Ye Chen and Tang San manage this?

Everyone was incredibly surprised.

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Liu Erlong all looked at the Grandmaster.

The Grandmaster nodded, "Senior Dugu is a Titled Douluo with great credibility. He will do as he says."

Flender nodded, smiling as he walked towards Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, hello."

Dugu Bo nodded in acknowledgment, "I promised the little monsters I'd come here as a consultant. You can ask me anything. You promised to find me a quiet place to rest, as I'm tired."

Flender's face lit up with joy. This was a Titled Douluo! With him now at Shrek Academy, it was enough to raise Shrek Academy's strength by a whole level.

After Dugu Bo left, the Grandmaster looked at Tang San and Ye Chen with immense shock.

Dugu Bo himself said he came because of Ye Chen and Tang San.

"Little Chen, Little San, how did you do it?" the Grandmaster asked.

"It's nothing much. I refined some pills to help Senior Dugu heal his injuries, and he owes me a favor now," Ye Chen said.

Tang San nodded, not explaining in too much detail. After all, if everyone knew his research on poison was even more formidable than Dugu Bo's, how many people would be shocked?

"Everyone, are you well?" Ye Chen asked. After half a year apart, how could he not miss everyone? Especially Ning Rongrong.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu also hadn't seen each other for half a year.

The Grandmaster nodded and said, "They are all well. I just told them you went for special training. Everyone's strength has improved significantly over the past six months."

Ye Chen and Tang San listened intently as the Grandmaster spoke, finally learning that Shrek's Seven Devils had all achieved great improvements.

Dai Mubai, Level Forty Battle Soul Ancestor.

Xiao Wu, Level Thirty-Six Battle Soul Elder.

Ning Rongrong, Level Thirty-Four Tool Soul Elder.

Zhu Zhuqing, Level Thirty-Six Battle Soul Elder.

Oscar, Level Thirty-Three Spirit Master.

Ma Hongjun, Level Thirty-Two Battle Soul Elder.

Grandmaster smiled and asked, "It's been half a year, how has your spirit power improved?"

Tang San shook his head and gave a wry smile, "Teacher, I'm only Level Thirty-Eight."

Grandmaster's gaze fell on Tang San, and he froze in place.

Now... Tang San was already Level Thirty-Eight?

It should be known that when Tang San first joined Shrek Academy, he was only Level Twenty-Nine, and now he had reached Level Thirty-Eight.

At that time, the gap between Tang San and Dai Mubai was still very large. Now Dai Mubai was Level Forty, and Tang San had already reached Level Thirty-Eight.

What is genius? This is genius.

Grandmaster smiled. Tang San had not disappointed him.

Grandmaster looked at Ye Chen again and said, "Little Chen, your strength is already outstanding among everyone. You are only thirteen and a half years old, the same age as Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Xiao San."

"After reaching Level Forty, spirit power will be very difficult to improve. You might not even be able to advance one level in half a year, so don't be too anxious. Moreover, you are still young. Reaching Level Forty-Four at thirteen and a half years old is something few people can compare to, except for the geniuses of Martial Soul Hall," Grandmaster said seriously.

He was afraid Ye Chen would be discouraged. After all, the strength of every one of Shrek's Seven Devils was improving, and the rate of improvement was very obvious, especially Xiao Wu.

Ye Chen had reached Level Forty-Four half a year ago. It was extremely difficult to advance further, so naturally, his progress would be slower than Shrek's Seven Devils.

Zhao Wuji also patted Ye Chen's shoulder, "Don't worry. Not advancing one level in half a year is also common. Look at me and Dean Flender, we might not even advance one level in three years."

The other teachers from Shrek Academy nodded. After all, they all knew the difficulty of improving their level.

Besides cultivation, one also needed experience, knowledge, pressure, and opportunities for breakthroughs. It wasn't just simple cultivation that could increase spirit power.

Grandmaster had already assumed Ye Chen hadn't improved and began to comfort him.

Looking at the considerate Grandmaster, Tang San said nothing. It was indeed difficult to improve spirit power after reaching Level Forty, but... it also depended on who you were facing.

After all, Ye Chen was Grandmaster's disciple.

In the past half year, Tang San knew how much effort Ye Chen had put in. Although most of his time was spent refining pills.

But spending half a year refining pills, Ye Chen had been controlling his own spirit power. To successfully refine pills, one must first cultivate their mind.

Ye Chen was no longer simply cultivating his body, but undergoing all-around cultivation. Moreover, he had the guidance of Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo.

Ye Chen's progress was evident.

Ye Chen looked at Grandmaster, "Teacher, actually, I don't feel that breaking through is that difficult. I've broken through two levels in half a year, and now I'm already Level Forty-Six."

Grandmaster: "!!!"

All the teachers of Shrek Academy: "!!!"

Ye Chen, only thirteen and a half years old, had now reached Level Forty-Six!!!
