Good thing I have Uncle...
Tang San's birth family was simply a complete mess.
Good thing Uncle had carried him!
Without Uncle, he simply didn't dare imagine how miserable this family would have become...
Tang San truly wanted to sing aloud:
"Who was it that brought you into this world~"
"Who gave you food and clothes..."
He sat with Uncle, absorbing the Gold of Life and feeling that domineering yet reassuring aura.
Mother was beside them too.
An unprecedented sense of security enveloped Tang San.
His soul, adrift through two lifetimes, found its safe harbor at this moment.
Tang San felt that this was where he belonged.
Another two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.
Within the secluded Blue Silver Forest,
a small table had been set up.
Xiao Wu, the little cook, busily brought dish after dish of lavish food to the table.
"It smells so good!"
Tang Hao sniffed the air and impatiently reached for some Mysterious Turtle Scrambled Eggs.
Smack!
The Blue Silver Tyrant Spear shot out,
knocking the chopsticks from Tang Hao's hand.
"Dad, my uncle hasn't even picked up his chopsticks yet!"
Tang San held the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear and glared at Tang Hao in displeasure.
Haozi, who did he think he was?
How dare he start eating first?
Until Uncle started eating, no one was allowed to eat!
Under the influence of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, martial training, and his Martial Soul, Tang San had already grown beyond 1.8 meters tall.
His muscles were lean and powerful, and his features had begun to take shape.
That Blue Silver Tyrant Spear strike had left Tang Hao's fingers aching.
"Hehe, it just smelled too good. Dad didn't notice."
Tang Hao scratched his head apologetically.
"Don't let it happen again."
Tang San huffed, turning his head aside and ignoring Tang Hao.
Instead, he enthusiastically called out to Yin Chuan:
"Uncle, dinner's ready!"
That change in attitude made Tang Hao's heart ache.
But what could he do?
Back then, he had treated Tang San far too poorly.
Then his uncle had come to take the child away and raised him into a super genius who was Level 35 at twelve.
Tang Hao regretted it,
but it was too late. None of this had much to do with him anymore.
"Alright, Xiao San."
A response rang out from the Blue Silver Forest, followed by two white gusts rushing in from afar.
One man and one dog.
In front was Yin Chuan, with blue hair and white robes.
At seventeen, he had grown over 1.9 meters tall. Slender and long-limbed, he looked like a perfectly proportioned nine-head-tall anime model.
His face had become even more handsome, flawless beyond reproach.
Behind him was a handsome white hunting dog with a streamlined, slender body, lively eyes, and astonishing speed, closely following Yin Chuan.

Over the course of two and a half years,
through the lingering effects of the Gold of Life, Yin Chuan had resisted the suppression of his ultimate attributes and raised his Soul Power from Level 58 to Level 67.
He had also completed the task of helping Tang San obtain his third Soul Ring,
and received the Howling Celestial Dog from the system.
He then fed the Howling Celestial Dog heavenly treasures until its cultivation reached three thousand years.
Howling Celestial Dog had been the name Tang San gave it.
When Tang San saw that skinny dog Soul Beast, he immediately thought of Erlang Shen's Howling Celestial Dog.
So Tang San suggested that Yin Chuan name the dog Howling Celestial Dog, and Yin Chuan gladly accepted.
"Xiao San, why insist on waiting for me? If I'm not here, what's wrong with you all eating first?"
Yin Chuan sat down at the seat of honor without ceremony.
Out here in the wilderness, he naturally wasn't bored enough to fuss over seating arrangements.
Tang San was the one responsible for such trivial matters.
Tang San had set up a large table with a seat of honor, placing Yin Chuan in the most respected position.
It was one thing during ordinary meals, but sometimes Tang San would even kneel and offer tea to Yin Chuan.
"Uncle, would it be proper for us to eat without calling you?"
"If you don't eat first, how could Xiao San eat in peace? Xiao San would rather starve himself to death."
Tang San said with a smile.
Smack!
Suddenly, Tang San's expression changed. He pulled out the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear again and knocked the chopsticks from Tang Hao's hand.
"Dad, don't be in such a hurry."
Tang San's face was expressionless.
"Xiao San, what is this for now?"
"Your uncle has already started eating."
Tang Hao picked up his chopsticks with a bitter smile.
"There are rules for eating."
Tang San ignored Tang Hao and selected some food from the table.
He fed it to the Howling Celestial Dog.
"Woo woo—"
The Howling Celestial Dog happily tore into the food in huge bites.
"Dad, please help yourself."
Only after feeding the dog did Tang San indicate that Tang Hao could eat.
Hmph.
Yin Chuan had started eating, sure, but Yin Chuan's dog, the Howling Celestial Dog—Uncle Dog—hadn't eaten yet!
Was it Haozi's turn?
"This..."
Tang Hao felt utterly aggrieved.
Before this,
the family hierarchy had been Yin Chuan greater than or equal to Ah Yin, greater than Tang San, greater than Xiao Wu, greater than him.
But ever since Yin Chuan had brought home the Howling Celestial Dog half a year ago,
the Howling Celestial Dog's status had surpassed his.
In Tang San's eyes, even Uncle's battle pet was more important than his own father!
Tang Hao had grievances he couldn't voice.
But he had owed his son far too much. This situation was merely the consequence of his own actions.
Holding onto a penitential mindset of punishing himself,
Tang Hao bitterly swallowed mouthful after mouthful of sorrow.
"You all eat first."
Xiao Wu wiped the sweat from her forehead, served herself some pieced-together leftovers, and squatted in the kitchen to eat.
Her situation with Tang San was basically clear.
And Tang San, as a staunch feudalism warrior,
when he ate with his respected uncle, let alone his wife, even his biological father had to step aside! (There would be a contrast later.)
Originally, Xiao Wu had given Tang San familial affection, friendship, and love. She had been Tang San's entire world.
But now,
Yin Chuan had given him even more!
With Uncle around, Tang San naturally wouldn't let a woman get too arrogant.
All that remained for Xiao Wu was strict feudalism.
"Ah..."
Tang Hao sighed, carrying his bowl of food to squat by the doorway and eat.
Only Yin Chuan and Tang San, uncle and nephew, remained at the table.
Neither of them spoke.
Yin Chuan ate elegantly.
Tang San wolfed down his food. The Golden Dragon King was in the middle of growing, and before long, an entire table of food had gone into Tang San's stomach.
After the meal,
Xiao Wu came over to collect the bowls and wash them.
"Uncle, what do we do next?"
Tang San asked Yin Chuan about their next move, his eyes flickering.
"I'll take you and Xiao Wu to school."
"This Blue Silver Forest is uninhabited. You're both in the prime of youth; you can't waste your years here."
Yin Chuan stroked the Howling Celestial Dog.
The Howling Celestial Dog turned into a streak of white light and became a dog-head jade pendant hanging from his waist.
The Main Quest was to take Tang San to Shrek.
The reward was excellent.
The final spear of the Blue Silver Thirteen Spears, the trump-card counterkill divine technique, the Horse-Turning Spear!
The more unfavorable the battle, the stronger it became?
Shrek was definitely worth visiting.
