Mouth Cannon Master

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up when he saw Bai Yu.

However, his expression remained impassive. One hand was behind his back, the other clenched over his abdomen as he straightened his back and put on airs.

Bai Yu ignored Yu Xiaogang's gaze and transmitted his voice to Ah Yin instead:

"See that kid in blue? He's Tang San, your son!"

Ah Yin said nothing, but the blade of grass wrapped around Bai Yu's waist tightened slightly, making him a little uncomfortable.

Bai Yu patted Ah Yin, who was disguised as a belt, signaling for her to ease up. Then he nodded at the Shrek Seven. "I'm back."

"How have you all been these past few days?"

The fatty immediately let out a miserable wail:

"Not good at all, Bai Ge! We've been running with rocks on our backs these past two days. I can barely take it anymore!"

Bai Yu laughed and said to Ma Hongjun, "Haha, who taught you to train like that? It may not be very useful, but at least it can help you lose some weight!"

Before Ma Hongjun could speak, Yu Xiaogang could no longer hold himself back after hearing that.

"You're Bai Yu, aren't you? I heard Flender and Little San mention you. Why do you say running is useless?"

Bai Yu looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked with slight confusion, "And you are?"

Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest, a trace of pride in his eyes as he answered Bai Yu's question.

"My name is Yu Xiaogang. Others call me Master!"

Bai Yu put on a look of realization, then curled his lips and said:

"Oh, it's you. I've heard of you. But what are you doing here? Since when did Shrek start recruiting Soul Grandmaster-level instructors?"

"You! This isn't about me. I'm asking why you said running is useless!"

Yu Xiaogang's already corpse-like face turned even greener at Bai Yu's words. Unable to say that he had gotten in through connections, he could only change the subject.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang clash with Bai Yu, all seven of them, Tang San included, watched the spectacle without the slightest intention of stepping in.

After all, they had been tortured badly these past two days. Tang San had suffered even more.

If not for the fact that this teacher's background and connections were still somewhat useful, Tang San would have long since said, "You have chosen the Way of Seeking Death," and sent Yu Xiaogang to the grave.

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and was just about to speak when Flender's voice came from afar.

"White Kid, you're back? Let me introduce someone to you—my good brother, Yu Xiaogang!"

Flender hurried over, breathing a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had arrived just in time. They had not started fighting yet.

Bai Yu smiled and said:

"No need, Dean. We've already met. I thought he was an outsider, but since he's your brother, it's fine. I haven't slept for days, so I'll go rest first."

"Wait!"

Before Flender could speak, Yu Xiaogang cut in.

Flender grabbed Yu Xiaogang and said to Bai Yu, "White Kid, go get some rest!"

"No. He has to explain exactly what is wrong with my method!"

Yu Xiaogang shook off Flender's hand and stubbornly addressed Bai Yu.

Bai Yu found Yu Xiaogang's stubbornness rather amusing and bared his teeth with a hiss.

"Fine. Since you want to know so badly, I'll explain. What is most important for a Soul Master? Increasing Soul Power. If your Soul Power does not improve, everything else is meaningless."

"After Soul Power is depleted and then restored, it can increase slightly. Carrying rocks while running burns Soul Power far more slowly than combat. Even using Soul Skills and practicing Soul Power control would be better than running. Do you understand now?"

Yu Xiaogang was still unconvinced and continued:

"Running can also improve physical fitness, allowing one to withstand higher Spirit Ring ages. Your Spirit Ring ages are so high because your physical fitness is strong, aren't they?"

Bai Yu brushed his sword-like brows, thinking, Did Gangzi spend the past two days giving himself a refresher course? Then he nodded and said calmly:

"You're right. Physical fitness is indeed the issue. But why not have them spar under Teacher Zhao's Gravity Enhancement?"

"It improves physical fitness while accelerating Soul Power consumption, and the training is more comprehensive. One hour of that is worth most of a day spent running."

Hearing Bai Yu's answer, everyone looked dumbfounded. Soul Skills could be used like that? Right, why had they not trained under gravity?

Yu Xiaogang's face alternated between green and red, but he still stubbornly held his ground!

"I didn't know Vice Dean Zhao had that Soul Skill before. That was my mistake."

Amusement filled Bai Yu's eyes as he clicked his tongue.

"Tsk. Since you're the one arranging their training, you're their team instructor."

"How can a team instructor not even know what Soul Skills the other teachers possess or what help they can provide the students? What kind of team instructor are you?"

Yu Xiaogang's face had already turned black, and he did not know what to say. Seeing this, Flender hurriedly came to his rescue.

"Xiao Gang just arrived and isn't very familiar with the academy staff. White Kid, you've misunderstood Xiao Gang."

Bai Yu shrugged without saying anything, then turned to head back to the dormitory for sleep.

Seeing Bai Yu about to leave, Tang San hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Bai Ge! Wait a moment. There's something I want to ask you, and I've also broken through level thirty. I need a Spirit Ring!"

Bai Yu turned to Tang San and said with a smile, "That was pretty fast. Tell me, what kind of Spirit Beast Spirit Ring do you want?"

Tang San's spirits lifted, and the Spirit Beast he wanted slipped right out of his mouth.

"Bai Ge, I want a Regenerating Vine Spirit Ring. Do you have one?"

Hearing Tang San's choice, Bai Yu nodded and thought, Even if I don't, I'll go catch a Regenerating Vine, study it, and make you a Spirit Ring. In any case, you definitely won't be getting that External Soul Bone!

Then he laughed and said to Tang San:

"Ha, you're in luck. I've studied that Spirit Beast, which is famed for regeneration and continuous control. Take it!"

When Tang San saw Bai Yu take out the Soul Gathering Seal, delight appeared on his face and he hurriedly accepted it.

Just as he was about to activate the Spirit Ring, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and warmly greeted Tang San.

"Little San, the Regenerating Vine has no noteworthy traits. Follow my arrangement and choose a spider-type Spirit Ring instead. It can add poison attributes and increase toughness!"

At Yu Xiaogang's words, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Tang San's face. After adjusting his expression, he looked at Bai Yu again, his eyes seeking an answer.

"Why are you looking at me? If you think there's still hope for evolution in the future, choose the Regenerating Vine. If you're content with things as they are, then a spider is fine too."

Bai Yu rolled his eyes, thinking, This bastard wants me to take the heat for him. He wants to be a whore and still have a memorial archway.

Tang San's expression hardened as he looked at Yu Xiaogang and said:

"Teacher, I choose the Regenerating Vine. I want to seek an opportunity in the future for my Martial Soul Evolution!"

Yu Xiaogang's lips trembled. How could my lapdog disobey me? If you don't obey me, who am I supposed to use to verify my theories?

Before Yu Xiaogang could speak, Tang San directly poured in his Soul Power, activating the Spirit Ring and beginning absorption. Every movement was completed in an instant, giving Gangzi no chance at all!
