"Thank you, Teacher." Tang San's voice carried a hint of a choke; he gripped the notebook tightly, as if it were the key to victory.
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.
Once Tang San's figure disappeared through the doorway, the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a complex and inscrutable expression.
Yu Xiaogang walked to the window, gazing in the direction where Xu Yuan and Xiao Wu had departed, his eyes dark and sinister.
"Xu Yuan..." Yu Xiaogang murmured, his knuckles turning white from the force of his grip. "A brat who popped out of nowhere dares to shake the foundations of my theories?"
He never believed there was anything wrong with his theories. All these years, the reason he had achieved nothing was simply due to bad luck and the short-sightedness of others who failed to grasp the essence of his work.
Tang San was his final hope, the only bargaining chip to prove the validity of his theories, and he must not be led astray by Xu Yuan.
"Just wait," a flash of ruthlessness crossed Yu Xiaogang's eyes. "Sooner or later, I will make everyone realize that my theories are the true laws of the spirit master world."
Days turned into weeks, and in the blink of an eye, several months passed.
"Finally level 30."
Xu Yuan opened his eyes, unable to help but sigh in his heart.
After a period of diligent cultivation, he had finally reached level 30.
He had expected to reach level 30 in a month or two, but he hadn't anticipated it would take four months.
Xu Yuan began to contemplate which spirit beast would be the best choice for his third spirit ring.
Just then, Xu Yuan felt a massive surge of energy erupting from somewhere within his body.
This spirit power gathered into a cluster, beginning to condense into a spirit ring.
"Interesting, those previous energies are actually helping Xu Yuan condense a spirit ring," God King Tang San remarked with some surprise.
He had noticed these energies before, but he hadn't told Xu Yuan.
He hadn't expected these energies to condense into a spirit ring the moment Xu Yuan broke through to level 30.
After a dozen minutes, a thousand-year spirit ring appeared beneath Xu Yuan's feet.
Xu Yuan's level had already reached 31.
As for where the energy inside his body came from, Xu Yuan had already learned from God King Tang San.
Xu Yuan looked around and let out a sigh of relief; fortunately, there was no one else in the dormitory, or he would have been misunderstood.
His third spirit skill was named Third Soul Skill: Life Inspiration, which had the effect of releasing a vibrant aura of life to inspire friendly units, temporarily boosting their strength, speed, and spirit power recovery rate.
Xu Yuan felt this skill was merely average; although it was an area-of-effect support skill, it didn't seem to fit his Blue Silver Emperor very well.
However, it wasn't a big problem. He was already level 31, and he would strive to reach level 36 before graduation.
Time flew like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, graduation arrived.
Xiao Wu leaned in front of Xu Yuan, curiously asking, "Xu Yuan, which academy do you plan to attend?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Xu Yuan couldn't help but fall into thought.
He certainly wouldn't go to Shrek Academy. For the past six years, he had consistently defeated Tang San, which was essentially slapping Yu Xiaogang in the face.
That guy Yu Xiaogang must hate him to the core; if he went to Shrek Academy, it would be a miracle if Yu Xiaogang didn't make things difficult for him.
More importantly, going to Shrek Academy was completely meaningless.
Most protagonists in fan fiction went to Shrek Academy because they wanted to woo the girls there.
Xu Yuan felt that with his own abilities, starting a harem was unlikely.
It would be better to take Xiao Wu and find a place to honestly and discreetly develop, following God King Tang San's advice to eventually become a god.
As for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, he could only say that if fate allowed, they would meet again.
"Go to Blue Tyrant Academy."
Just then, God King Tang San's voice rang out.
Hearing God King Tang San's words, Xu Yuan was extremely surprised; he had never expected God King Tang San to suggest he go to Blue Tyrant Academy.
He had assumed God King Tang San would want him to go to Shrek Academy and become one of the Shrek Seven Devils.
In truth, God King Tang San secretly wanted Xu Yuan to recruit Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er for his own use.
He had a deep impression of the two sisters, mainly because back then, the Shrek Seven Devils had all consumed immortal herbs, yet they had nearly been overturned by these two sisters.
He remembered that by the time he ascended, Shui Bing'er's level seemed to have reached the Spirit Douluo realm.
As for the exact level, God King Tang San didn't remember clearly; it had been too long, and how could he keep track of the levels of mortals forever?
God King Tang San stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "In the future, when heading to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I can find a suitable immortal herb for each of them."
As long as one of them could attract the attention of the Water God, that would be enough.
Mentioning the Water God, God King Tang San subconsciously thought of Ma Hongjun's Fire God trials back in the day.
If that lazy pig had worked hard back then, he could have become a first-rank god, the Fire God, instead of becoming the Phoenix God.
The Phoenix God position was something he had begged the original Asura God to secure; otherwise, the best outcome for Ma Hongjun would have been to die of old age on the Douluo Continent.
Ma Hongjun had attracted the attention of the Fire God, and through him, he could make the Water God aware of both Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
The Fire God and the Water God were a married couple; if the Fire God saw that Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er possessed great talent, he would tell the Water God, and it was highly likely that the Water God would choose one of them as a successor.
Thinking of this, God King Tang San felt that he was truly brilliant.
As for Qian Renxue?
If she could be brought into his service, then he would take her; if not, then so be it.
However, he would find a way to preserve Qian Renxue's Angel God position.
The Angel God position was a First-Class God position, so how could he possibly waste it?
In the future, he intended to control the entire God Realm, and the more gods that were his people, the faster he could seize control of this realm.
Back then, apart from himself and Huo Yuhao, everyone else had been Second-Class Gods; if he had possessed several First-Class Gods on his side at that time, he could have contested power with the God of Destruction much more effectively.
The Seven Elemental Gods?
Although they were in his camp, the Seven Elemental Gods did not fully obey him.
It was only later, as he gradually gained control over the God Realm, that the Seven Elemental Gods began to follow his orders completely.
In this lifetime, he would replace all of the Seven Elemental Gods with his own people.
Even if he could not replace all of the Seven Elemental Gods at once, he would slowly swap these gods out for his own.
However, the most urgent priority was still to have Xu Yuan rapidly increase his strength and head to Sea God Island.
He had already decided when to perform the soul possession; he planned to take over Xu Yuan during the Ninth Trial.
The reason he chose the Ninth Trial involved various factors, but the main one was that the First Generation Sea God would be watching the inheritor from the God Realm because of the incident with Tang Chen.
If the inheritor's soul underwent a change, the First Generation Sea God would certainly notice.
But by the time the Ninth Trial arrived, it would be when the First Generation Sea God lowered his guard, and that was the moment to strike.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had once seized this very opportunity to attempt possession, though unfortunately, he had been killed in return by him.
Xu Yuan killing him in return?
How could that be possible? Although his soul was not currently at the God King level, after reclaiming the essence from Tang San and Yu Xiaogang over the past few years, it had already reached the level of a Third-Class God soul.
Although he had taught Xu Yuan the Tang Sect's ultimate arts over these years to help him rapidly increase his strength, he had kept some things hidden.
For instance, the manufacturing methods for most hidden weapons, as well as the Tang Sect's knowledge of poisons and their preparation.
He had only taught Xu Yuan some basic knowledge of poisons and their preparation so that Xu Yuan would have some ability to protect himself.
