Tang San was, after all, a sensible, good child,
and he had also been deeply instilled with the idea that "once a teacher, a father for life."
Considering that Yu Xiaogang had fallen unconscious and was now like a vegetable, unable to do anything at all, Tang San could only let out a long sigh,
then tend to Yu Xiaogang, wiping his bottom and feeding him by the spoonful.
Three days!
Yu Xiaogang had been unconscious for three whole days!
Did you know how Tang San had spent those three days?
Did you know?!
Zhang Tianyu did.
But did you know how Zhang Tianyu had spent those three days?
Every day, he and Xiao Wu were inseparable. They slept together at night, whispering secrets, and spent their days attending class, cultivating, and sparring together.
They didn't even have to do their work-study jobs. In their free time, they strolled around and went out for walks.
Their days were carefree and blissful!
The only pity was that, on the surface, they both still looked far too young.
Otherwise, they could have played house for real ahead of schedule.
That would have been even more fun, in every sense of the word.
At noon on the fourth day,
Yu Xiaogang finally woke up.
"What happened to me?" Yu Xiaogang mumbled groggily, his voice hoarse.
His body was so weak he couldn't summon an ounce of strength. His vision swam, the world spun around him, and he couldn't even tell which way was which. Even lifting a hand took tremendous effort.
"Teacher, you're awake?" Tang San hurried to his side.
"Did you treat my poison?" Yu Xiaogang asked, looking at the wounds that had been treated.
"Yes, Teacher. My father taught me how to treat poison injuries when I was little. When I saw you unconscious, I had no choice but to give it a try."
Tang San thought, What a stupid question.
Just open your eyes and look around. All there is in every direction is forest and Soul Beasts. What else could there be?
If I didn't do it, did you think a Soul Beast treated you?
If I hadn't been here, you'd have been poisoned to death. And even the Soul Beasts might not have dared to eat you after that!
I can't believe I was saved by a student, Yu Xiaogang lamented inwardly. Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang, it seems everyone's judgment of you really was spot-on. You're a complete waste. You brought your students out to hunt for Soul Rings and ended up poisoning yourself—and in the end, it was a student who killed the Soul Beast and saved you!
At the thought, Yu Xiaogang's heart went cold.
But he quickly composed himself again.
After all, he'd been a waste for so many years. He was used to it by now.
"Teacher, get some rest. I'll go get you some meat broth." Tang San spoke at once.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly asked, "Xiao San, did you succeed?"
"I did. Look." As he spoke, Tang San used his First Soul Ring.
The First Soul Ring was a Hundred-Year Soul Ring, and it was yellow,
but only pale yellow,
almost whitish.
The reason was simple: when he absorbed the Soul Ring, most of its energy had exploded, reducing its age. That was why this Hundred-Year Soul Ring looked almost like a Ten-Year Soul Ring.
Even so, Yu Xiaogang's eyes shone with excitement,
because this proved his theory had worked. It proved he was right!
"Good! This is wonderful! It seems my judgment was completely correct. After Blue Silver Grass absorbed the Mandala Snake Soul Ring, it became tougher. If I'm not mistaken, it should also carry some of the Mandala Snake's poison. But what skill does it have now?"
Tang San briefly explained his First Soul Skill, then raised his hand, ready to use it.
Now!
Zhang Tianyu's eyes snapped open. He aimed at Yu Xiaogang and used another item!
Heh heh heh. Their trip to the Soul Hunting Forest wasn't over yet. How could he let them leave comfortably?
Besides, the Empathy Talisman's effect hadn't ended yet. Of course he had to make good use of it!
"Notification: Disposable Aggro Magnet used successfully!"
The Aggro Magnet!
Just hearing the name told you how utterly cursed this item was.
Once Yu Xiaogang was affected by it, he would instantly become a living target that drew every attack.
As long as he was within someone else's attack range, every attack they launched would hit him with one hundred percent certainty—even if he wasn't the target!
The Disposable Aggro Magnet could draw just one attack, but it could draw any kind of attack.
However, like the previous item, it wasn't lethal.
If the attack it drew would kill Yu Xiaogang or leave him gravely wounded and on the brink of death, the item's effect would immediately disappear, and Yu Xiaogang would instantly return to full health.
Whoosh!
"Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Tang San aimed at several trees not far ahead. Blue Silver Grass burst from his palm and shot rapidly toward them.
But in the next instant—
The Blue Silver Grass suddenly made a bizarre turn in midair, then flew straight toward Yu Xiaogang!
Like magnetic slime drawn to a magnet, it broke completely free of Tang San's control in midair and hurtled straight at Yu Xiaogang!
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were both dumbfounded!
Everything happened too quickly. Yu Xiaogang was too close to Tang San, and he never imagined Tang San would attack him.
No normal person would have thought something like this could happen!
Even if Yu Xiaogang weren't a normal person and had anticipated that it might happen, in his current state, there was no way he could dodge Blue Silver Entanglement moving that fast!
Tang San reacted quickly, but as mentioned, the Blue Silver Grass had already broken free of his control and was flying toward Yu Xiaogang against his will!
"Ah!"
Amid Yu Xiaogang's scream,
Blue Silver Entanglement bound him tight!
The barbs on the Blue Silver Grass stabbed straight into his body!
"Ah!"
Yu Xiaogang let out another scream!
Then he could no longer scream, because the Mandala Snake poison coating the Blue Silver Grass had paralyzed his body!
Tang San was horrified!
He had never expected the Blue Silver Grass to suddenly slip out of his control!
He hurriedly tried to withdraw his Soul Skill, shouting in a panic as he did, "I'm sorry, Teacher! I'm sorry! I didn't mean—"
Before he could finish, Tang San's whole body shuddered,
and his movement as he withdrew the Blue Silver Grass froze in midair.
Then, with a thud, he fell to the ground.
The Empathy Talisman's effect was still active!
Yu Xiaogang had been attacked by the Blue Silver Grass, which meant Tang San had been attacked by his own Blue Silver Grass!
Yu Xiaogang was paralyzed from head to toe,
and so was Tang San!
Tang San was paralyzed and collapsed to the ground, while the Blue Silver Grass remained partly wrapped around Yu Xiaogang!
The two of them lay paralyzed on the ground,
staring wide-eyed at each other.
The air suddenly fell silent.
At that moment,
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help asking himself inwardly:
He even attacks his own teacher? What kind of thing did I take in as a student?!
Zhang Tianyu couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. Luckily, it was noon, and he was alone on the training field, so he could laugh as loudly as he liked!
Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang,
didn't you want to see Tang San's Soul Skill?
There you go! Now you've seen it up close! Hahahaha!
