"An unprecedented defeat?"
Flender murmured to himself, feeling uneasy.
No way. How badly could they have lost?
Still, he cared a lot about Shrek Academy in that other world.
The Live Broadcast Room continued.
[Xue Beng quickly found Tang San and begged for help, wailing and pleading. Given Xue Beng's identity, Tang San naturally agreed to help him, though he cursed him as a good-for-nothing in his heart.]
Xue Beng: "..."
Was he a good-for-nothing? All right, he really was one, but that was still a heartbreaking thing to say.
Damn Tang San. He'd gone too far in bullying a prince.
Tang San was speechless too. He couldn't shake the feeling that the Live Broadcast Room was targeting him.
Could they not air things like him calling a prince a good-for-nothing? He had his pride to think about.
[Just as Tang San was preparing to go after Ye Tianyun, Ye Tianyun had already beaten him to it and successfully broken through to level forty.]
[At that very moment, after taking Dugu Bo's Immortal Herbs and making use of a special environment, Tang San had risen three levels in a row, successfully reaching level thirty-seven.]
[To be fair, Tang San really was stingy. The Immortal Herbs belonged to Dugu Bo, yet he hadn't given even a single one to Dugu Yan.]
Dugu Bo and his granddaughter grew even angrier.
Could they stop bringing this up? They were already upset, and the more they heard about it, the worse they felt.
"Tang San, you really are despicable."
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth. Tang San had gone up three levels in a row, while she hadn't gained even one.
Dugu Bo was just as angry, but he still comforted her.
"Yanzi, don't dwell on it. We have the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record now, and I have Immortal Herbs too. I'll definitely help you grow stronger."
"Xiao San, this Live Broadcast Room is targeting you again. This is going too far."
Yu Xiaogang was very displeased. The Live Broadcast Room was always targeting Tang San, and even he, his master, was embarrassed by it.
"They're definitely jealous of me. They envy me."
Tang San said that his talent always made others jealous.
For example, the Live Broadcast Room.
[After breaking through to Soul Ancestor, Ye Tianyun headed to Sunset Forest to search for his fourth Spirit Ring.]
[Because his body had been strengthened, Ye Tianyun decided to choose a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring for his fourth.]
"A Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring? How is that possible? How could someone's fourth Spirit Ring possibly be—"
Dai Mubai cried out, about to argue, then suddenly thought of Tang San. He had a Ten Thousand Year fourth Spirit Ring too.
If Tang San could do it, why couldn't Ye Tianyun?
Tang San nodded. "Ye Tianyun is a genius just like me, after all. It's perfectly normal for him to have a Ten Thousand Year fourth Spirit Ring."
Everyone around them twitched at the corners of their mouths, silently despising Tang San.
What did he mean, a genius just like me? Could he have any shame? Did he even deserve to say that? He should take a look in the mirror.
[After searching for a while, Ye Tianyun quickly found a suitable Spirit Beast: an Emerald Swan that was fifteen thousand years old.]
[He knew Emerald Swans very well. They were excellent support-type Spirit Beasts, with tremendous life force, healing abilities, and group-defense skills—just right to support Ye Tianyun.]
[The Evil Eye Tyrant provided control, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger provided offense, and now an Emerald Swan would round things out with support. Ye Tianyun was very satisfied.]
[So, after spending just a little time, Ye Tianyun successfully hunted the Emerald Swan and made it his fourth Spirit Ring.]
[Having cultivated the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art, Ye Tianyun's physique had long since reached an astonishing level. Absorbing his fourth Spirit Ring posed no pressure at all.]
Deep in Star Dou Forest.
Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan, shook her head.
"What a pity about that Emerald Swan."
The Ferocious Beasts around her glanced at one another. They felt sorry for it too, but they knew even better that Ye Tianyun was someone they couldn't afford to provoke.
After all, they couldn't travel to the other world.
[After absorbing the Emerald Swan's fifteen-thousand-year Spirit Ring, Ye Tianyun's Soul Power Level successfully reached level forty-two, easily surpassing Tang San.]
Tang San himself fell silent. The scene of Ye Tianyun absorbing the Martial Soul had dealt him a heavy blow.
Was it really that easy?
When he had absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, he'd only just managed to cross the ten-thousand-year mark, and it had nearly cost him his life.
Ye Tianyun had done it so easily, as if he were drinking water, without the slightest pressure.
Didn't that mean Ye Tianyun was stronger than him?
[After breaking through to Soul Ancestor, Ye Tianyun returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.]
[Meanwhile, Tang San brought his lackeys Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, ready to settle the score.]
[How could Tang San tolerate his disciple being bullied? Of course, he was only putting on an act to earn a little favor with Xue Beng. He was purely interested in his royal status.]
Tang San: "..."
That was way too blunt. But it was true. If he wasn't interested in Xue Beng's royal status, what else would he be interested in?
His good looks? Or the fact that he didn't bathe?
Xue Beng grew even angrier.
[This confrontation was even more exciting. After arriving at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San found Ye Tianyun and looked utterly astonished.]
[Now, let's watch the live broadcast.]
The scene soon changed to the parallel world.
Ye Tianyun and Tang San met at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Why is it you?"
Tang San froze. He had originally sent Dugu Bo to capture Ye Tianyun, but Dugu Bo hadn't succeeded, much to his disappointment.
He hadn't expected to run into him here.
"I didn't expect you to be here. You're the one who offended His Highness the Prince, right? You'd better apologize obediently."
Tang San's words were full of menace.
He'd disliked Ye Tianyun for a long time. Now that he'd taken the Immortal Herbs and the Shrek Seven Devils' strength had soared, he no longer needed to fear Ye Tianyun.
He didn't need all seven of them to gang up on him. He could challenge Ye Tianyun alone.
It all depended on whether Ye Tianyun had the guts.
[Faced with Tang San's provocation, Ye Tianyun was utterly unafraid. Instead, a meaningful look appeared in his eyes.]
"Tang San, you want to fight me? Fine, let's fight. We've fought twice before, and both times I beat you badly. You must still be holding a grudge."
Ye Tianyun summoned the Human Emperor Banner, and he was full of fighting spirit.
At Soul Ancestor level, he could easily crush everyone present. Even Dai Mubai was a Soul Ancestor.
That was the difference absolute strength made.
Tang San's face darkened. Being beaten by Ye Tianyun the previous two times had been a tremendous humiliation. Today, he would finally wipe away that disgrace.
It wasn't just Tang San. Every member of the Shrek Seven Devils stared at Ye Tianyun in fury.
This time, they would get their revenge.
[The battle between the Shrek Seven Devils and Ye Tianyun was about to begin. It would be an exciting fight.]
The Shrek Seven Devils all released their Martial Souls, and Spirit Rings rose from beneath their feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple.
Even the weakest among them was already a Soul Elder.
Ye Tianyun released his Martial Soul too, and Spirit Rings rose from beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black.
Tang San stared at the black Spirit Ring, dumbfounded.
"Impossible! How did you break through to Soul Ancestor so quickly? And why is your fourth Spirit Ring a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring?"
Before you continue
