Shrek Has Arrived

Ning Fengzhi calculated frantically in his heart. A mad, greedy thought sprouted uncontrollably in his mind like wild grass!

Since Tang San could not be relied upon, why not treat him as a blood bag for resources?

As long as he drained every bit of Tang San's knowledge about Immortal Herbs and secret cultivation methods, why couldn't Ning Fengzhi be the one to become a god?

Why couldn't it be Sword Douluo Chen Xin?

As long as they could create a god belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what the hell was a mere five-year-old Tang San worth?

At that thought, the anger in Ning Fengzhi's eyes instantly receded, replaced by a chilling hypocrisy.

He walked forward and looked down at Tang San, saying coldly, "Tang San, considering your young age and the great misfortune you have suffered, I will not hold your earlier offense against you."

Hearing those words, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang both let out a breath of relief, as though they had crawled back from the gates of hell. Their bodies were drenched in cold sweat.

"But remember this."

Ning Fengzhi bent down slightly, staring at Tang San as if he were merchandise.

"Spirit Hall's spies are everywhere outside. Without the protection of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you will not survive the night. From today onward, you and your teacher are not to take a single step out of this secret chamber. Sword Uncle will personally keep watch over you."

"Also, to prove your sincerity toward this alliance, within three days, write out from memory every location and effect of the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as the core blueprints of the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, without leaving out a single word. They will be kept under the unified custody of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Tang San suddenly raised his head and stared at Ning Fengzhi in disbelief. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"Uncle Ning! You... you want my trump cards!"

Those were the greatest assets that had allowed him to survive in his previous life and return to the peak!

Ning Fengzhi was not forgiving him at all. He was clearly taking advantage of his misfortune!

"What? You are unwilling? Or do you wish to go outside right now and face Spirit Hall's Holy Emperor Warriors?"

Ning Fengzhi sneered.

"I... I'll write..."

Tang San clenched his teeth tightly as tears of humiliation welled in his eyes.

The knife is in another's hand, while I am the fish on the chopping block. I have no right to resist at all right now.

Standing in the shadows of the corner, Ning Rongrong watched the scene with a sweet yet terrifying smile curling across her lips.

How interesting.

The Sea God, once so high above everyone else, was now being treated by Father as a dog penned inside a cage, raised solely to be squeezed dry for Immortal Herbs.

If Brother Xiaoyuan saw this, he would definitely praise Rongrong for doing well.

Just as this twisted balance had been established within the secret chamber—

Boom!

A violent impact suddenly came from the stone door outside the chamber!

"Who is it?!"

Sword Douluo's gaze turned cold, and his longsword instantly left its sheath.

"Xiaogang! Tang San! Are you in there?!"

A hoarse yet familiar booming voice suddenly echoed in from the passage outside the secret chamber.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang both trembled, raising their heads in disbelief.

The stone door was pushed open, and several haggard figures with mud-covered clothes hurried inside.

The man in front wore a pair of distinctive black-rimmed glasses. He was the headmaster of Shrek Academy.

Four-Eyed Lynx Flander!

Behind Flander came the Immovable King Zhao Wuji, along with Ma Hongjun and Oscar, the fat man and the other member of the Shrek Seven Devils from their previous lives!

"Boss Flander!"

As Yu Xiaogang looked at Flander and the others who had suddenly appeared at the entrance of the secret chamber, wild joy burst from his eyes.

As though he had grabbed onto a lifeline, he scrambled forward and tightly clutched Flander's arm.

"Why are you here?!"

"Xiaogang, Tang San! You have suffered!"

Flander looked at the oppressive, miserable atmosphere in the secret chamber, then at Tang San, who had become far thinner and pale-faced, and Tang Hao, who lay on the stone bed with one arm severed, his fate unknown. Flander's eyes instantly reddened.

He pulled Yu Xiaogang to his feet and said through gritted teeth:

"Though our talents are mediocre, we still have our memories from our previous lives! When we heard that something had happened to you in Heaven Dou City, Old Zhao and I immediately rushed over from Suotuo City with Hongjun and Oscar!"

"Headmaster... Teacher Zhao..."

Tang San looked at these old acquaintances from his previous life, and tears streamed from his eyes.

Even in his despair, the heavens had not completely abandoned him after all!

These old companions from Shrek Academy had actually arrived at this most critical moment!

Level seventy-eight Flander, level seventy-six Zhao Wuji, plus Ma Hongjun and Oscar, two little monsters who had become gods in their previous lives.

This strength might not have been enough to contend against Spirit Hall, but to Tang San right now, it was help in the nick of time!

Flander warily swept his gaze around the secret chamber before his eyes settled on Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who stood nearby.

When he had entered the city earlier, he had seen Spirit Hall's Imperial Amnesty Decrees plastered all over the streets.

Combined with the strange atmosphere in this secret chamber, the seasoned Flander keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Master Ning." Flander stepped forward, shielding Tang San and Yu Xiaogang behind him as he asked in a low voice:

"What exactly is going on? Spirit Hall is searching the entire city for Tang San. With such a powerful enemy at hand, instead of finding a way to break out, why has your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School trapped them in an underground chamber?"

Ning Fengzhi did not answer immediately.

His deep eyes were sizing up Flander and Zhao Wuji from head to toe with a concealed, greedy gaze, especially Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who hid behind them.

Tang San's attempt to scheme against him earlier had made him fully understand that this wolf could never be tamed.

Since it could not be tamed, he could only squeeze out its remaining value!

The Tang Sect Hidden Weapon blueprints in Tang San's mind were peerless weapons the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had long coveted!

He had been worrying about how none of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's people understood how to forge those complex mechanisms, yet these free laborers from Shrek Academy had delivered themselves right to his doorstep!

Two Soul Sages could be used for smithing and smelting, while the two little fellows who had become gods in their previous lives could serve as hostages. It was simply perfect!

At that thought, Ning Fengzhi once more flawlessly put on his refined mask.

He heaved a deep sigh, adopting an expression of grief and indignation as he said to Flander:

"Headmaster Flander, you do not know the full situation. Spirit Hall is full of schemes. Not only did they severely wound Tang Hao, but they also used the Imperial Amnesty Decree to sow discord. They even ambushed and intercepted the reinforcements from the Clear Sky School. Tang San and the Grandmaster are at their most vulnerable right now."

Ning Fengzhi paused, his tone becoming exceptionally sincere.

"Spirit Hall's spies are everywhere outside. Going out now would be suicide. But do not worry. With my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School here, this secret chamber is absolutely secure. We will certainly keep them safe."

The instant Flander heard this, his temper flared. He slapped his thigh hard.

"Those bastards from Spirit Hall have gone too far! Xiaogang, Tang San, rest assured! As long as I, Flander, am here, even if Shrek Academy has to fight until its very last person, we will never let Spirit Hall touch a single hair on your heads!"
