Yu Xiaogang arrives, Tang San's talent is the worst?

Zhao Wuji gave a bitter smile; he knew this question was coming.

"It was truly a sudden situation at the time. We had already killed the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent beforehand, otherwise, why would we snatch a Spirit Ring from your granddaughter, Senior?"

"I presume the Man Faced Demon Spider you mentioned earlier is the spirit beast you had already scouted out."

"A Man Faced Demon Spider is undoubtedly more powerful than a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, which would be a significant improvement for your granddaughter."

"How about we help you search for it, Senior?"

For Zhao Wuji, this was truly the height of humility; never before had the Immovable Bright King been so subservient.

Meng Shu nodded slightly, accepting the offer.

"Then go and search. Once you find it, make a sound, and I will naturally find you."

Zhao Wuji cupped his hands in a salute. "We shall head out to find that Man Faced Demon Spider now. We will make a signal as soon as we have news, Senior."

Immediately, Zhao Wuji chose a direction and led the group away at high speed.

"Teacher Zhao, where are we supposed to find that Man Faced Demon Spider?"

Ma Hongjun looked around as they walked. "It doesn't look like there are any Man Faced Demon Spiders around here."

"You idiot," Zhao Wuji slapped him on the back of the head.

"Still looking for a Man Faced Demon Spider? Forget that crap. We finally have a chance to escape, so why wouldn't we run? Are you waiting to hand ourselves over to get beaten up?"

"It was just to give him some face."

Although Zhao Wuji knew the score, he continued to run toward the perimeter as fast as he could.

On the other side, Meng Yiran watched the direction in which Zhao Wuji and the others had departed. "Grandfather, can they really find a Man Faced Demon Spider?"

"Perhaps."

Meng Shu stroked Meng Yiran's hair. He knew perfectly well that the other party wouldn't actually look for it.

What was said just now was merely a superficial gesture; he only wanted to save face.

The fact that the spirit beast had been snatched was undeniable, and since the other party was a Spirit Saint, it was better to make an acquaintance than to forge an enemy.

The group did not stop, rushing toward the edge of the Star Dou Forest at top speed.

Whenever they grew tired, they consumed Oscar's Recovery Sausage to replenish their energy, while Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun supported him, and Ye Lin and Xiao Wu helped Ning Rongrong slightly so that both of them could keep up with the team.

Finally, on the second day, the group left the Star Dou Forest and entered a small town on the outskirts.

Zhao Wuji let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of relief.

At the very least, there were people here, making it much safer.

Come to think of it, this trip into the Star Dou Forest had been quite fruitful; Oscar and Xiao Wu had both obtained their third Spirit Rings, and Ye Lin had obtained her second.

Furthermore, the overall coordination between the group had become more tacit, and many of their conflicts had been resolved.

Except for Tang San.

After resting in the town for about a day, the group set off again to return to Shrek Academy.

"Finally back."

Oscar sighed; the feeling of returning home was truly relaxing.

"Alright, everyone go back and rest."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand. "I am going to find the Dean to report on this trip."

He quickly arrived at the Dean's office and recounted the journey to Flender. His expression shifted multiple times, and only when he heard that everyone had returned safely did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"We were a bit careless this time."

"Next time, we should go together, and we will bring all the teachers from the academy to ensure we are fully prepared."

Zhao Wuji gave a bitter smile. "Who could have known that a Titan Giant Ape would appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, and that a Spirit Douluo would show up as well?"

Flender pondered. "Based on your description, those two must have been the Dragon and Snake Duo. It is fortunate that you didn't fight; they possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that cannot be resisted by anyone below a Titled Douluo."

"If something had truly gone wrong, there would be no way to answer to that person, let alone the families of these children."

On the other side, at the gate of Shrek Academy, a one-armed man walked in slowly.

"I wonder what kind of reputation Tang San has built for himself in the academy. With his talent, he must be leading the pack here."

This one-armed man was none other than Yu Xiaogang.

He had been delayed by some matters previously and had not accompanied Tang San to Shrek Academy, but he was not worried.

With Tang San's talent, entering Shrek Academy could be considered a simple task.

Moreover, he had given Tang San a letter to hand to Flender upon his arrival at Shrek Academy, indicating that this was his adopted son and the disciple who had inherited his mantle.

Although he hadn't explicitly asked for special treatment, Flender would surely look after him to some extent.

He asked around briefly within Shrek Academy and found the Dean's office.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to knock on the door, he heard voices from inside.

"Regarding Tang San..."

Yu Xiaogang interrupted the voices inside directly from outside the room.

"What about Tang San?"

Zhao Wuji and Flender inside the dean's office were immediately startled.

"Who is it? That voice doesn't sound like anyone from the academy."

Flender smiled and opened the door. "An old friend has arrived."

"Xiaogang, long time no see."

He looked Yu Xiaogang over and only then discovered that his right arm was gone!

"Xiaogang, your right arm..."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, unwilling to bring up that painful past.

"Let's not talk about that."

"I just heard you two mentioning Tang San."

"What is wrong with Tang San?"

"Is it that Tang San's talent is so outstanding that it shocked you?"

Speaking of this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but lift his head slightly, feeling very proud; this was his disciple, after all.

Flender and Zhao Wuji were stunned for a moment. How could he even say such a thing!

A Blue Silver Grass could be considered to have outstanding talent?

Flender slowly stepped forward and said, "Xiaogang, you might be overthinking things."

"Tang San's talent is indeed a rare existence elsewhere, but here with me, Tang San's talent is at the very bottom."

Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, "What!"

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

He gestured with his only remaining left hand, "I know there are people whose talent is certainly above Tang San's, but Tang San's talent absolutely cannot be at the bottom."

Two candidates appeared in Yu Xiaogang's mind.

The first was Ye Lin, and the other was Xiao Wu.

These two were also his prospective candidates for disciples.

He admitted they were stronger than Tang San; after all, both of them possessed Innate Full Soul Power and powerful Martial Souls.

However, this was only temporary. Once Tang San reached level 50 and began adding ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer, then Tang San would be the strongest person in this world.

This was the advantage of Twin Martial Souls, an incomparable advantage.

"You don't believe it?"

Flender helplessly handed a list he had just written from the table to Yu Xiaogang.

This was the list of the eight students' strength that he had compiled after Zhao Wuji's report.
