Tang Hao hid in the shadows, his mouth twitching involuntarily as he heard Yu Xiaogang's words.
A ten-year Lone Bamboo is suitable for Blue Silver Grass?
Isn't that pure, unadulterated nonsense?
It seems there is a reason why that trash's theories are not recognized by the world.
Tang Hao shook his head and turned to leave.
He had to personally help Tang San pick a Spirit Beast; otherwise, that trash Yu Xiaogang might actually let his son absorb a ten-year Lone Bamboo.
As for why he didn't stop Tang San from taking Yu Xiaogang as a master despite knowing he was trash?
Naturally, it was because of Bibi Dong.
As the only person in the world to have cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo while possessing Twin Martial Souls, Bibi Dong was the only one who knew how to resolve the conflict between Twin Martial Souls.
If there was anyone in this world who could extract that secret from her lips, it would likely only be Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San curiously examined the Lone Bamboo before him; he never would have imagined that this seemingly ordinary bamboo was actually a Spirit Beast.
However, what his teacher said must be correct.
"Teacher, should I choose this bamboo for my first Spirit Ring?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head upon hearing this.
"Although this Lone Bamboo is not bad, its age is ultimately too low. Let's keep looking; if we truly find nothing suitable, we will choose it as a last resort."
Tang San nodded obediently.
"According to my research, the limit for a Spirit Master's first Spirit Ring should be four hundred and twenty-three years. I hope you can get as close to this limit as possible."
Yu Xiaogang held one hand behind his back, a hint of arrogance showing between his brows.
The Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Masters were his greatest research achievement and the pride of his life, so he felt immense pride whenever he mentioned them.
Tang San's eyes lit up at these words, looking exactly like a little fanboy seeing his idol.
His teacher is truly worthy of being a master of theory.
"Let's go."
Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied with Tang San's reaction and walked toward the depths of the forest.
Luo Sanpao led the way.
Tang San quickly followed.
The two and the beast traveled through the dense forest, and as they went deeper, Yu Xiaogang introduced the Spirit Beasts they encountered to Tang San.
His introductions were extremely detailed.
Names, characteristics, and how to distinguish their age—everything was explained with absolute clarity.
Tang San's eyes were truly opened.
"Luo-luo..."
Luo Sanpao suddenly stopped, baring its teeth and letting out low growls in one direction, as if warning of something.
"Teacher, what's wrong with it?"
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Yu Xiaogang's expression turned grave.
He and Luo Sanpao shared a mental connection, allowing him to roughly sense the other's thoughts.
Sanpao was warning him that danger was approaching.
Moreover, judging by its reaction, the approaching threat was not insignificant.
"Go!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Yu Xiaogang instinctively wanted to lead Tang San to change course.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"Howl, howl, howl..."
Dense, sharp, and piercing sounds came from all directions.
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically.
A pack of Hyenas!
He could not possibly be mistaken; those were the cries of a Hyena pack.
Hyenas are an extremely disgusting type of Spirit Beast.
They have a penchant for attacking the crotch.
Whenever someone is surrounded by them, if they lack sufficient strength, even if they survive, they will lose their manhood and become neither man nor woman.
Hyenas are definitely the Spirit Beasts that most Spirit Masters never want to encounter.
They were even more terrifying than a pack of wolves.
"Tang San, run!"
Yu Xiaogang had no time to explain, his figure instantly bolting forward.
Tang San did not doubt him and hurriedly followed.
However, no sooner had they rushed out than a dozen hyenas, each over three meters long and drooling, emerged from the jungle ahead.
And not just in front.
To the left, to the right, and behind them, more hyenas appeared.
In total, there were over fifty of them.
"It's over!"
Seeing the size of those hyenas, Yu Xiaogang was instantly shrouded in despair.
They were all century-level hyenas; how could they possibly fight this?
Amidst his fear, Yu Xiaogang suddenly recalled Lin Chen's warning.
Why the hell can't I ever learn?
Yu Xiaogang felt immense regret, regretting that he hadn't taken Lin Chen's warning seriously.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
The Hyena Queen, hidden in the shadows, blew the horn of attack.
The fifty-plus hyenas swarmed forward.
"Tang San, put on your mask!"
As Yu Xiaogang issued the warning, he also donned a mask.
Tang San did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly put his on.
"First Soul Skill: Fart Like Thunder, Blast the Heavens and Split the Earth, Luo Sanpao!"
As Yu Xiaogang finished his incantation, Luo Sanpao soared into the air.
Its belly expanded rapidly.
"Boom!"
A thunderous farting sound erupted, and an incredibly foul-smelling gas suddenly burst forth, spreading outward from Luo Sanpao, indiscriminately hitting friend and foe alike.
The fifty-plus hyenas, as well as the master and disciple, were all within range.
"Ugh..."
Even with the mask on, Tang San caught a whiff of the stench.
It made his stomach churn.
His body also felt inexplicably weak from inhaling a small amount of the toxic gas.
The many hyenas, however, seemed largely unaffected.
To them, Luo Sanpao's toxicity was no more than a tickle.
Before Yu Xiaogang could even use his second soul skill, a hyena lunged fiercely at Luo Sanpao, its speed so great that Luo Sanpao had no time to dodge.
"Oink, oink, oink..."
Pinned to the ground and mauled by the hyena, Luo Sanpao let out a series of miserable cries.
"Sanpao!"
Yu Xiaogang's face changed, and he hurriedly formed a seal to retract his martial soul.
Luo Sanpao dissolved into specks of light and vanished.
At almost the exact same moment, three hyenas charged right up to Yu Xiaogang.
"Tang San, run!"
Yu Xiaogang issued his final warning before being tackled to the ground by the three hyenas.
The three hyenas—two biting his arms, one tearing at his legs—pulled at him frantically, as if they intended to tear him apart.
"Ahhh..."
A heart-wrenching scream tore from Yu Xiaogang's throat.
"Teacher!"
Tang San stepped into his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, dodging the hyenas' charges while noticing Yu Xiaogang's wretched state, and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
No longer caring about hiding his strength, he raised his right hand and pointed it at the three hyenas.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Three Silent Sleeve Arrows tore through the air, striking directly at the three hyenas pinning Yu Xiaogang.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
The three short arrows pierced the bodies of the three hyenas with pinpoint accuracy.
The hyenas loosened their grip in pain, granting Yu Xiaogang a moment to catch his breath, though the incomparable agony did not fade in the slightest.
Furthermore, more hyenas lunged toward him the very next second.
Tang San watched the scene unfold, his heart gripped by anxiety.
The Silent Sleeve Arrow was a one-time-use hidden weapon; once fired, it became useless, and without a storage soul tool, he had brought no other hidden weapons with him.
Moreover, over twenty hyenas had surrounded him as well; never mind saving his teacher, he could barely protect himself now.
No matter how exceptional the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was, it still required space for him to maneuver.
"Ahhh..."
Yu Xiaogang's scream rang out once more, even more wretched than before.
His QQ had been forcibly uninstalled.
Almost at the same time, Tang San failed to dodge in time, and a hyena clamped its jaws onto his calf, dragging him down to the ground.
