Spirit Ring Target

On the way to the library, Su Ge learned some information about spirit beasts from Tang San's narration.

Among them, the accounts of powerful spirit beasts left Su Ge feeling incredibly excited.

However, he did not show any of this. Tang San telling him these things was definitely not because the latter was truly that generous.

Given Tang San's personality, it was more likely the result of Yu Xiaogang pulling strings behind the scenes.

After all, if he wanted to take him as a disciple, the only way to make him submit was through his own knowledge.

But this played right into Su Ge's hands, so he also put on an interested appearance, as if he truly yearned for such knowledge.

Among all these topics, the one that caught his attention the most was the information about the spirit beast Tang San called the Lion-Tiger Beast.

Based on Tang San's description, Su Ge pondered it in his heart and was shocked to discover that this spirit beast actually shared similarities with the legendary Suanni!

In legend, the Suanni was the offspring born from the union of a dragon and a lion, and its image was not far off from what Tang San described.

Although there were some discrepancies in the details, it did not change the fact that this spirit beast was extremely suitable for Su Ge!

A hundred-year beast that could rival a thousand-year one—that was the bloodline of a top-tier spirit beast. Furthermore, it possessed dragon blood, a powerful physical body, and immense strength.

It not only suited him perfectly, but the hunting difficulty was also right at his maximum threshold.

If it were a spirit beast like the Wind Baboon that possessed ranged attacks, he would have found it difficult to deal with. Now that such a perfect spirit beast had appeared, it was exactly what he wanted!

After silently memorizing this intelligence, Su Ge and Tang San stopped in front of the library.

"It seems your teacher, Tang San, must be a very learned scholar. Your path as a spirit master will surely be very smooth in the future!"

Su Ge wore a polite smile on his face and did not skimp on his praise for Yu Xiaogang; it didn't cost him anything, after all.

He would eat the bait offered, but the hook would not be able to catch him. Therefore, what he needed to do was to obtain as much "bait" as possible from Yu Xiaogang while maintaining an ambiguous attitude.

"Thank you, my teacher... he is indeed a very learned person!"

Hearing Su Ge say this, Tang San also wore a happy smile on his face.

After chatting with Su Ge for the whole journey, he said goodbye and hurried back to Dorm Seven.

He had to correct everyone's prejudices and prove that his teacher was a learned scholar!

Su Ge waved goodbye to the departing Tang San, and as he watched the latter's retreating back, he withdrew his gaze at the right moment.

This was because he had just felt an uncomfortable sensation spreading over him, as if he were being watched by something in the shadows.

This feeling was not perception, but an intuition—similar to the instinct of a wild beast!

So, he kept his expression normal, stopped overthinking it, and continued to focus on the task at hand.

As for the time to hunt his first spirit ring, he planned to ask for leave in a while to search for the Lion-Tiger Beast.

"As for now, I should focus on enriching myself as soon as possible!"

Looking at the library before him, Su Ge let out a breath, stepped inside, and dove straight into his studies.

Su Ge did not slowly return to Dorm Seven to rest until nightfall after eating dinner. By the time he returned, everyone in Dorm Seven had already gone to sleep.

Su Ge did not disturb them and went straight to bed, falling asleep on his own.

He slept very soundly and comfortably until the next morning.

When Xiao Wu rubbed her eyes and got up, she realized that Su Ge had already woken up at some point and was talking to Wang Sheng and the others.

"Why didn't you call me? Isn't today the day we're supposed to fight that so-called Boss Xiao?"

Looking at Xiao Wu's sleepy appearance, Su Ge smiled and shook his head: "You looked like you were sleeping quite soundly, so I didn't wake you."

"Besides, there is still plenty of time. You can get ready and we can set off."

He then handed a few steamed buns to Xiao Wu; they were still steaming and looked fresh.

Although they were vegetarian, Xiao Wu ate them quite happily.

After taking them, Xiao Wu ate the buns while listening to Su Ge and the others chat.

But as she ate, she felt something was wrong. After looking around, she realized that Tang San, the other major combatant of Dorm Seven, was missing.

"Where's Little San? Where did he run off to at a time like this?"

"I haven't seen him since I got up early this morning. But looking at the situation, he probably went with his teacher to hunt his first spirit ring, right?"

Wang Sheng spoke up first. By now, his body had mostly recovered, and at least he had no trouble walking.

"Hunting his first spirit ring?"

Xiao Wu was stunned to hear this answer. Although she had long known that humans hunted spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings, she still found it hard to accept when the cruelty of it was placed right in front of her.

So, she expressed her inner emotions with a bit of resentment, using a different angle.

"We're going to fight Boss Xiao in a bit, and he just left without a word? Isn't that deserting in the face of battle?"

"He's being too disloyal!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Wang Sheng didn't know how to respond, because it was, after all, the truth.

"Alright, it's not like Little San knew about this, or he definitely would have told everyone."

"Besides, this might have been his teacher's decision. Even if he knew, there's an order to things."

"And once he hunts his first spirit ring and becomes a spirit master, he can provide some backup for our Dorm Seven, right?"

Su Ge stepped in to speak for Tang San. Although his words were ostensibly defending him, if anyone stopped to think for a moment, they would see through his words and feel even more dissatisfied with the latter!

His words were perfectly measured, stopping just at the point where they were most likely to be misinterpreted.

Yet, no one could say that Su Ge was intentionally targeting Tang San; he still maintained the image of a good big brother.

"Alright, it's about time!"

Su Ge waited for a moment, and seeing no one respond, he didn't let them dwell on it further and immediately drew everyone's attention back to him.

As he spoke, he pushed open the door of Dorm Seven. The rising sun cast its light, piercing the darkness and spilling into the room.

Su Ge's silhouette was stretched long, appearing exceptionally tall in the eyes of everyone present!

Seeing this, everyone withdrew their thoughts.

"Do you all trust me?"

Su Ge tilted his head slightly and asked Xiao Wu and the others behind him.

"We all trust Boss Su!"

"That's good. I promise, we will win!"

Su Ge wore that reassuring, confident smile on his face, his golden hair shining brilliantly under the sunlight, and his entire being exuded a peculiar charm!

Looking at Su Ge, Xiao Wu felt a sense of peace wash over her at that moment.
