Beneath Life Lake.
After seeing the introduction on the Light Screen, they realized that the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record could train just about everything.
After watching it, the beasts all looked extremely serious.
Pointing at the Light Screen in astonishment, Di Tian said, "My Lord, look! These humans have already invented so many cultivation methods!"
"They can cultivate Soul Power and Spiritual Power, and they can even train their bodies and footwork!"
"This Tang San is practically a killing machine when it comes to Spirit Beasts!"
The other Ferocious Beasts wore similarly grim expressions.
Xiong Jun snapped, "Humans just love to use cheats!"
"I say we should hurry up and unleash a beast tide to destroy human society!"
Bi Ji furrowed her brows. "Don't be rash."
"The Light Screen says Tang San discovered the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. It might not have spread yet."
"I think, if all else fails, we can find Tang San and—"
Xiong Jun nodded and barked, "Then let's unleash a beast tide and kill Tang San!"
"Di Tian, send me out! I guarantee I'll slap that bastard Tang San to death!"
"Beast tide this, beast tide that! Those are the only two words you know, aren't they?" Di Tian said helplessly. "It already said that the game can't hurt the contestants for now!"
"Are you going to unleash a beast tide just to liven things up for the New Year?"
"Besides, we should listen to our Lord first—"
As he spoke, he turned to ask the Silver Dragon King.
Her figure hidden in the darkness, the Silver Dragon King fell silent before murmuring,
"Even if we can't hurt Tang San, we can still find a way to bring him here!"
"Surely we can control him and capture him, right?"
"Di Tian, send your subordinates to try to capture Tang San and bring him back."
"Once the first round of the Q&A Game is over, we'll force him to tell us about his cultivation methods. Ideally, they'll be useful to our Spirit Beasts!"
"Yes!"
Di Tian thought it was a workable plan, too.
So the group began discussing who to send to find Tang San.
The Silver Dragon King reminded them, "At the same time, we must keep participating in the Q&A Game. We might receive rewards!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
Di Tian nodded. As they watched the Light Screen, the group discussed their plans.
Just then, another question began to appear...
On the Light Screen.
[Old Jack was the person who cared for Tang San most during his childhood. He was a kind and gentle old man!] [For the six years after Tang San was born, his father paid no heed to whether he lived or died. Tang San often went hungry and lacked warm clothes, and it was usually Old Jack who helped look after him!] [It could be said that without Old Jack, Tang San would not have survived those early years.] [Question: After Tang San grew up, how did he repay Old Jack?] [A: Primarily with money and resources] [B: Primarily with status and honor] [C: He gave him a little of everything] [D: He gave him nothing at all]
The question left everyone surprised once again.
They hadn't expected two questions in a row to involve Tang San's character.
And only now did they realize how difficult Tang San's childhood had been.
The Shrek Seven Devils stared at the Light Screen, astonished and worried.
Dai Mubai patted Tang San on the shoulder. "Xiao San, I had no idea your childhood was so rough."
"Your father didn't care about you?"
Tang San nodded and said with a sigh, "My father seems to have suffered some kind of blow, so he neglected me a little."
"But no matter what, he's still my father. I won't resent him!"
"Uh..." Dai Mubai hadn't expected Tang San to say that.
His father hadn't cared whether his own child lived or died, yet Tang San didn't seem to mind at all.
Dai Mubai had meant to curse Tang San's father a little on his behalf, but now he decided it was better not to say anything.
All he could manage was an awkward, "Right, right. You're very filial..."
The others, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing, began discussing it as well.
The other academy students were all talking among themselves.
"So Tang San survived as a child because of this Old Jack. Who was his father, anyway? What a piece of trash!"
"Who knows? If it weren't for Old Jack, Tang San probably wouldn't have made it. He was so young, after all."
"So what should we pick? What will Tang San give Old Jack after he grows up?"
"Even Tang San himself probably doesn't know. It hasn't happened yet..."
Over with the Godwind Academy Team,
Feng Xiaotian watched Tang San in the distance and murmured, "Tang San seems like a pretty decent guy."
"I'll pick C. A little of everything." He explained, "Just giving him money and resources would be too little, and status and honor wouldn't be much use either."
"D is the least likely. There's no way he'd give him nothing."
"Tang San doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd forget to repay a kindness!"
"That does make some sense..." Huo Wu agreed.
The others came to similar conclusions. Tang San would probably give Old Jack a substantial reward.
Old Jack had practically saved his life. How could Tang San grow up and not repay him at all?
The Shrek Seven Devils and the others discussed it among themselves.
"Third Brother, what will you give Old Jack when you grow up?"
"That's right, Third Brother. Will you give him status and honor, or money and resources?"
Tang San scratched his head. "I don't know. That's in the future."
"I don't even know when I'll be able to grow up..."
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang coughed twice, looking pleased with himself.
"Isn't the answer obvious?"
"With Xiao San's loyalty and filial nature, and his character of repaying kindness, of course he'll give Old Jack a little of everything!"
"Do you really think Xiao San is the kind of person who wouldn't repay a favor?"
Yu Xiaogang asked the group. They all shook their heads.
So Yu Xiaogang continued, "Since we all know what kind of person Xiao San is, the answer is obviously C!"
"I believe in Xiao San. He always repays kindness and is very filial. Old Jack helped him so much when he was young, so he'll definitely give him everything!"
"Right, Xiao San?"
"Your teacher believes in you. You're a good boy who repays a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude, aren't you?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San as he said the last line, trying to pressure him into agreeing.
Seeing how expectant everyone looked, Tang San could only nod.
"Teacher, don't worry. Tang San is absolutely not the kind of person who forgets a kindness!"
"Whether it's Grandpa Jack or you, Teacher, you're both benefactors who've helped me. Xiao San will do everything he can to repay you!"
"Teacher, I'll pick C too!"
Tang San himself thought that if he really became successful in the future, it would only be right to repay Old Jack.
If he picked C, he should be able to get a reward!
So everyone else hurriedly picked C as well, trusting in Tang San's fine character!
Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao studied the question thoughtfully.
"Repay Old Jack?"
Tang Hao scoffed slightly as he thought of that old fellow in Holy Soul Village.
"He's just a weak commoner. He gave Xiao San a little food when he was young. What's there to repay?"
"Why should I care whether some commoner lives or dies? It was his honor to bring food to Xiao San and me!"
"However..."
At that, Tang Hao frowned again. "Xiao San is acting pretty kindhearted right now."
"I'll pick C too. I definitely can't get this one wrong!"
