Master Yu and Grandmaster Tang!

"Ah!"

Almost at the same time, Yu Xiaogang also let out a miserable scream!

But Tang San didn't have the time to look at him, because the Mandala Snake was the priority right now. If they didn't finish this snake off, both of them would die.

Fortunately, the Mandala Snake had been struck in its vital point by Tang San's dagger and was nearing death. After a bout of struggling, it finally went still.

Only then did Tang San have the chance to look at Yu Xiaogang and ask, "Teacher, were you injured again just now?"

Yu Xiaogang snapped out of his daze and said, "Uh, no, it's not... I don't know either."

"Huh? You don't know either?" Tang San looked puzzled.

Yu Xiaogang said, "Just now, my leg suddenly felt a sharp, inexplicable pain, as if it had been smashed by something."

Tang San froze!

Are you a complete idiot? You don't even know this?

Thinking of this, Tang San suddenly froze again.

An inexplicable sharp pain in the leg as if it had been smashed by something?

Why does that sound so familiar?

Wait a minute!

Just a moment ago, I also inexplicably felt a sharp pain in my arm, and it was clearly poisoned, as if I had been bitten by a snake. But at that time, the Mandala Snake hadn't bitten me; it had bitten the teacher. And now, the Mandala Snake hadn't struck the teacher's leg, but had struck mine, yet the teacher's leg had inexplicably started to hurt as well!

Why would this happen?

Hiss!

Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up.

I know! I understand! I get it!

My teacher is a moron!

He's imitating me! He's copying me!

It must be that, otherwise why would he be screaming there when the Mandala Snake clearly didn't hit him?

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stumbled over to Tang San and grabbed his hand: "San, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Hey, are you sick in the head? Do you even consider me your own disciple? Only now do you think to ask how I am? No wonder you never had any disciples—your IQ is low, your strength is low, and your emotional intelligence is even lower!

Tang San still put on a panicked, breathless act and said, "I'm fine, Teacher. It's just that the snake seems to be lying there motionless!"

Yu Xiaogang said in a somewhat reproachful tone, "Why did you suddenly let go just now? Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?"

Tang San: ...

You son of a...

Damn your ancestors, do you think I don't know that letting go is dangerous? But not letting go is even more dangerous! What's the point of being dragged around by you? Can we outrun that snake? That's a four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake, not four hundred heads of cabbage! If we get caught and bitten, we'll both be meeting your ancestors, you know that? I really regret taking such a thing as my master!

Although he was cursing in his heart, Tang San remained obedient on the surface: "I don't know what happened. My hands were sweaty, and it seemed to slip. Teacher, I was flailing the short sword you gave me, and it seems I struck the snake."

Yu Xiaogang pulled up Tang San's hand; his palm was indeed covered in cold sweat. He could guess that Tang San had struck the Mandala Snake, and very likely in a vital spot. Otherwise, how could such a fierce, vicious, and vengeful soul beast suddenly stop pursuing them and lie there, gradually becoming motionless?

"But don't go over there yet. Let's wait and see. Snake-type soul beasts have extremely tenacious vitality and aren't so easy to kill. It might be playing dead right now."

"Yes, Teacher." Tang San thought to himself, Do I need you to teach me? In my past life in the Tang Sect, I played with more snakes than you've ever seen!

After cursing in his heart, Tang San gasped for air. This wasn't an act; on one hand, he was exhausted, and on the other, between the snake venom and the blow to his leg, his arm and leg were in excruciating pain. It was only then that he suddenly remembered he had some antidotes in his bag, all concocted from herbs he had gathered on the mountains and fields near Holy Soul Village.

Although it could not completely dispel the poison of the Mandala Snake, it could effectively delay the onset of the toxicity and its erosion of the body.

And it was precisely at this moment, The effect of [Memory Erasure] manifested.

Tang San had clearly seen that symptoms of poisoning had also appeared on the arm of Yu Xiaogang, But, He had forgotten it!

That's right, even though it was right before his eyes, he had simply and forcibly forgotten it!

The effects of items produced by the system were just that overbearing, just that unreasonable.

Taking advantage of the moment Yu Xiaogang stealthily approached the Mandala Snake to check the situation, Tang San consumed the detoxifying herbs. Feeling his injured, numb arm gradually regain sensation, Tang San let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that the aura of the Mandala Snake was truly becoming weaker and weaker, Yu Xiaogang finally began to relax.

Immediately following this, the expression on his face began to change, shifting from his previous panic to wild joy as he said, "Great, this is truly great! San, your spirit ring is settled!"

A yellow spirit ring floated up from the corpse of the Mandala Snake. Tang San faced the carcass, sat cross-legged on the ground, and a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Resilient and venomous, the attributes of this snake perfectly met Tang San's requirements.

And according to the logic of spirit master cultivation, Next, as long as he could absorb the spirit ring of this snake, he would be able to break through the bottleneck of his Mysterious Heaven Skill and continue to the next stage of cultivation!

"Absorb the spirit ring with peace of mind; I will stand guard for you," Yu Xiaogang said.

Following the instructions of Yu Xiaogang, he began to formally absorb the spirit ring.

A scorching, warm current surged into his body, spreading through every meridian and every part of his physique.

What an overbearing power!

Accompanying the influx of energy, Tang San's consciousness suddenly brightened, and he seemed to see himself immersed in an ocean of flames.

And right in the center of these flames, a solitary Blue Silver Grass swayed gently with the fire; no matter how intense the flames were, they could not destroy it.

He was overjoyed; this seemed to be the state of internal vision within his internal energy!

In his previous life, because he had been too old when he practiced the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, he had never been able to experience this state. He had not expected it to appear while absorbing his first spirit ring.

This meant that there was indeed a high probability that his Mysterious Heaven Skill bottleneck could be broken!

Accompanied by joy and excitement, he continued to focus on using the internal energy of his Mysterious Heaven Skill and the spirit power within his body to guide this massive energy to circulate through his body. With each cycle, he felt the bottleneck becoming increasingly fragile, on the verge of breaking through at any moment!

Just at this time, Suddenly, while his whole body was scorching hot, he felt a cool sensation coming from that unspeakable area of his pants.

On the other side, Yu Xiaogang had finished urinating and walked out from behind a tall bush nearby.

Tang San was completely dumbfounded!

Could it be that I... wet my pants?

Otherwise, why would his pants suddenly feel so cool, as if they had been splashed with water?

The [Empathy Talisman] did not just synchronize the damage received; it connected the sensations of two people together!

Therefore, when Yu Xiaogang finished urinating, Tang San also finished urinating simultaneously.

And so, Tang San's pants were wet.
