Tang San was, after all, a sensible and good child.
Furthermore, he had been deeply instilled with the idea that "a teacher for a day is a father for life."
Considering that Yu Xiaogang was currently in a coma, acting like a vegetable and unable to do anything, he could only heave a long sigh.
He began to wait on Yu Xiaogang hand and foot.
Three days!
Yu Xiaogang had been unconscious for three whole days!
Do you know how Tang San spent these three days?
Do you know!
Zhang Tianyu knew.
But do you know how Zhang Tianyu spent these three days?
Every day, he and Xiao Wu were inseparable, sleeping together at night to whisper secrets, and attending classes, cultivating, and sparring together during the day.
They didn't even have to do the work of a work-study student; in their spare time, they would just stroll down the streets or wander outside.
Their days were spent in absolute bliss!
The only pity was that, on the surface, they both looked too young right now.
Otherwise, they could have played house for real ahead of schedule.
That would have been even more enjoyable, in every sense of the word.
At noon on the fourth day, Yu Xiaogang finally regained consciousness.
"What happened to me?" Yu Xiaogang woke up in a daze, his voice raspy.
His weak body couldn't muster a shred of strength. He felt his vision blurring, and a dizzying sensation left him disoriented; even lifting a hand was an arduous task.
"Teacher, you're awake?" Tang San immediately came to his side and said.
"Did you neutralize the poison for me?" Yu Xiaogang asked, looking at his treated wounds.
"Yes, Teacher. My father taught me simple ways to treat venomous wounds when I was young. When I saw you had fallen into a coma, I had no choice but to try."
Tang San thought to himself, No kidding.
Open your eyes and look at this place; besides the forest and soul beasts, is there anything else around?
If it wasn't me, was it a soul beast that healed you?
If it weren't for me, you would have been poisoned to death—poisoned to death, to the point where even soul beasts might not dare to eat you!
"To think I was actually saved by my student," Yu Xiaogang lamented inwardly. "Yu Xiaogang, oh Yu Xiaogang, it seems the evaluations others have of you are truly accurate and realistic. You are nothing but a failure. You led a student out to hunt for a soul ring, only to end up poisoned yourself, and in the end, it was your student who took down the soul beast and cured you!"
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang felt a chill run through his heart.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood.
After all, he had been a failure for so many years; he was long used to it.
"Teacher, please rest for a moment. I'll go get you some meat broth," Tang San said immediately.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly asked, "San, did you succeed?"
"I succeeded. Look." As Tang San spoke, he manifested his first soul ring.
Although this first soul ring was a hundred-year one and yellow in color, it was a pale yellow, almost white.
The reason was simple:
When absorbing the soul ring, most of its energy had exploded, causing the age to drop, so the quality of this hundred-year soul ring was closer to that of a ten-year soul ring.
But even so, excitement flickered in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
Because this meant his theory had succeeded; it meant he was right!
"Good, this is truly excellent! It seems my judgment was completely correct. After injecting the Mandala Snake soul ring into the Blue Silver Grass, it has become tougher. If I'm not mistaken, it should also carry a certain degree of the Mandala Snake's toxicity. But, what is its current skill?"
Tang San briefly introduced his first soul skill and then raised his hand, preparing to demonstrate it.
Now!
Zhang Tianyu opened his eyes wide and used another item on Yu Xiaogang!
Hehehe, this trip to the Soul Hunting Forest wasn't over yet; how could he let them leave so comfortably?
Moreover, the effect of the Empathy Talisman hadn't ended yet, so of course, he had to continue making use of it!
"Notification: [Disposable Aggro Magnet] successfully used!"
[Aggro Magnet]!
This was an item that, just by hearing the name, one could tell how truly wicked it was.
Once Yu Xiaogang was affected by this item, he would instantly become a living target capable of drawing all attacks.
As long as he remained within the attack range of others, even if he was not the intended target, the attacks would hit him with one hundred percent accuracy!
The [Disposable Aggro Magnet] could only attract one attack, regardless of the type.
However, like the previous items, this one was non-lethal.
If an attracted attack would result in Yu Xiaogang's death or leave him critically injured, the item's effect would immediately vanish, and Yu Xiaogang would instantly be restored to full health.
Swish!
"Blue Silver Binding!"
Tang San aimed at a few trees not far ahead, and the Blue Silver Grass erupted from his palms, shooting rapidly toward them.
However, the next second—
These Blue Silver Grass vines suddenly made a bizarre turn in mid-air and flew straight toward Yu Xiaogang!
Like iron filings drawn to a magnet, they completely slipped out of Tang San's control in mid-air, forcibly hurtling toward Yu Xiaogang!
Both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were stunned!
Everything happened too fast; Yu Xiaogang was too close to Tang San and never expected him to attack.
No normal person would ever anticipate such a thing!
Even if Yu Xiaogang weren't a normal person and had foreseen this, his current state made it impossible to dodge such a swift Blue Silver Binding attack!
Tang San reacted quickly, but as mentioned before, the launched Blue Silver Grass had already slipped from his control, flying toward Yu Xiaogang against his will!
"Ah!"
Amidst Yu Xiaogang's scream, the Blue Silver Binding wrapped him up tight!
The barbs on the Blue Silver Grass pierced directly into his body!
"Ah!"
Yu Xiaogang let out another scream!
Then, he could no longer scream, as his body had been paralyzed by the Mandala Snake venom infused into the Blue Silver Grass!
Tang San was horrified!
He never expected the Blue Silver Grass to suddenly slip from his control!
He hurriedly tried to retract his soul skill, shouting urgently as he did so, "I'm sorry, Teacher! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."
Before he could finish, Tang San's entire body shuddered.
His motion to retract the Blue Silver Grass froze in mid-air.
Following that, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The effect of the [Empathy Talisman] was still active!
Since Yu Xiaogang was attacked by the Blue Silver Grass, it was equivalent to Tang San being attacked by his own skill!
Yu Xiaogang was paralyzed, and so was Tang San!
Consequently, Tang San fell to the ground, paralyzed, and the Blue Silver Grass wasn't fully retracted, with a portion still wrapped around Yu Xiaogang.
The two of them lay on the ground, paralyzed, staring wide-eyed at each other.
The air suddenly turned silent.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but ask himself:
Attacking his own teacher? What kind of monster have I taken on as a student!
Zhang Tianyu could no longer hold back his laughter. Fortunately, it was noon, and he was alone on the playground, allowing him to laugh unrestrainedly!
Oh, Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang.
Didn't you want to witness this soul skill of Tang San's?
I've satisfied you! You've witnessed it to the fullest! Hahahaha!
