Fight the Landlord

Xiao Wu and Tang Xiaomi had already been exposed to this thing long ago, so when Tang Yu took it out, the three of them began to play skillfully. The iron pieces could not be bent while held, so the tactile feel wasn't particularly good, but it was still something they could make do with.

"Three fives with a three."

"Three Jacks with a seven."

"Bomb! A pair of threes, a pair of fours, a pair of fives, a pair of sixes, and a pair of sevens. Can't beat that, right? A two. I win."

After Tang San finished absorbing the spirit ring, the conversation above was the first thing he heard. Tang San nearly vomited blood from anger; he was here suffering and working hard to absorb a spirit ring, and the three of you were actually playing Fight the Landlord!

Suddenly, Tang San felt that something was wrong with his body, and eight spider lances shot straight out from his back.

"Ah!" Tang San let out a painful shout.

The three of them were startled and immediately looked at Tang San. Xiao Wu said anxiously, "Brother San, what's wrong with him? What is that thing?"

Tang Yu spoke up, "Don't worry, that is an External Spirit Bone. It's beneficial to San and harmless anyway."

As he spoke, Tang Yu looked at Tang San and said, "San, that is a spirit bone. Don't worry, use your willpower to retract it."

Tang San nodded forcefully, then gritted his teeth and focused his mind intensely. The Eight Spider Lances on his back slowly retracted. Once they were fully withdrawn, Tang San immediately knelt on one knee and gasped for breath.

Tang Yu came to Tang San's side, pulled him up, and said, "San, you and Xiao Wu should sit on the Cloud Leopard."

Tang San nodded slightly without refusing. His whole body was weak now, and his mental energy had been consumed significantly, so walking back was impossible.

Tang Yu helped Tang San onto the Cloud Leopard. Tang San sat behind Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu directly grabbed Tang San's hand, making Tang San hold onto her. Knowing he wouldn't be able to sit steady like this, Tang San hugged Xiao Wu.

The Cloud Leopard looked at Tang Yu, and Tang Yu said, "Take these two to Shrek Academy. Follow Xiao Wu's directions on the way."

The Cloud Leopard nodded, and Tang Yu looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, remember to guide Xiao Yun."

Xiao Wu nodded and asked, "What about you and Xiaomi?"

"I'll just fly back with Xiaomi," Tang Yu said with a smile.

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Alright then." After she finished speaking, the Cloud Leopard left with Xiao Wu and Tang San.

Tang Yu immediately used his third spirit skill, Thunderous Might.

Tang Yu grabbed Tang Xiaomi, then flew directly into the air with her. Tang Yu smiled and said, "Little girl, hold on tight. If you fall, I won't be responsible."

"Hmph, I don't care if you don't care. I can fly too," Tang Xiaomi pouted.

Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is your third spirit skill related to flying?"

Tang Xiaomi nodded and said, "My third spirit skill is called Suspension, it's used for flying, and it consumes very little spirit power."

Tang Yu smiled and said, "Suspension, is it? It makes sense for you to have this spirit skill; an Eastern Dragon doesn't need wings to fly, after all."

Tang Xiaomi sighed and said, "Sigh, but it doesn't have any attack power."

Tang Yu stroked Tang Xiaomi's hair and said, "With me here, why do you need attack power? You just need to be responsible for looking beautiful."

"Hehe." Tang Xiaomi chuckled to herself for a while, then planted a big kiss on Tang Yu's face.

Tang Yu smiled and held Tang Xiaomi tightly as he flew toward Shrek Academy. Although the speed of Thunderous Might was inferior to the Cloud Leopard, it was still very fast, and it wasn't long before they arrived at Shrek Academy.
