Shrek Shocked, Tang San's Terrifying Strength?!

Ye Lingling did not take it immediately.

She raised her eyes to look at Tang Feng.

"For me?"

"Mm."

"This herb is very precious."

"It would just sit there otherwise."

Only then did Ye Lingling extend both hands.

As she accepted the jade box, her fair fingertips brushed against the back of Tang Feng's hand.

Their hands paused for a moment.

Ye Lingling quickly steadied the jade box.

A faint medicinal fragrance lingered around her sleeves.

She lowered her head to look at the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.

"Thank you."

Tang Feng opened the second jade box.

A completely emerald-green ganoderma lay quietly inside.

Its surface was like warm, polished jade.

Its gentle medicinal power resonated with Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

A pale green gleam flashed across her arm.

Tang Feng handed the Jade Ganoderma to her.

"Your poison has been resolved, but your meridians have suffered long-term damage."

"This Jade Ganoderma can repair your foundation."

Dugu Yan accepted the jade box.

She looked at the ganoderma in her palm and said nothing for a long time.

He had treated her Martial Soul Backlash.

He had helped her control the serpent venom.

And now, he had specially brought back an herb to repair her meridians.

Dugu Yan lifted her eyes.

"You're just giving something like this to us?"

"I have more."

"How much do you have?"

"Enough."

Dugu Yan held the jade box against her chest.

Her long emerald-green hair slipped down from her shoulder, hiding the faintly heated tip of her ear.

"Then I'll accept it."

Ye Lingling looked at Tang Feng.

"How should we take the Immortal Herb?"

"Eat the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid directly."

"Eat the stamen first, then the petals."

Tang Feng turned to Dugu Yan again.

"The Jade Ganoderma needs to be slowly refined with Soul Power."

"Don't let its medicinal power rush directly into your Martial Soul."

Dugu Yan nodded.

The two women sat down on opposite sides of the room.

Ye Lingling took the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid from the jade box.

The white petals reflected against her face.

She carefully swallowed the stamen, then placed the eight petals into her mouth one after another.

The Immortal Herb melted the instant it entered her mouth.

Its pure medicinal power quickly entered her meridians.

The white academy uniform fluttered gently in the currents of Soul Power.

Her blue hair spilled down behind her waist.

Ye Lingling placed both hands before her knees and began guiding the medicinal power through her body.

Dugu Yan removed her outer uniform, leaving only a fitted undershirt and long pants suitable for cultivation.

She sat cross-legged on the soft cushion.

Her long emerald-green hair draped over her shoulders and back.

Her slender legs folded together, the fabric tracing clean, sharp lines.

She took out the Jade Ganoderma and slowly consumed it according to Tang Feng's instructions.

The warm medicinal power entered her body.

The meridians once corroded by serpent venom soon filled with waves of warmth.

Dugu Yan closed her eyes.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul slowly emerged behind her.

The emerald serpent phantom coiled around her body, but its poisonous mist did not spread outward.

Tang Feng sat between them.

The Life Blue Silver Emperor grew from his right palm.

Blue-gold blades of grass extended across the floor.

Several slender vines stopped beside Ye Lingling.

Several others curled around Dugu Yan.

The grass blades did not touch either of their bodies.

Life Perception had already covered the entire room.

Every change in the Immortal Herb's medicinal power after it entered her meridians appeared clearly in Tang Feng's mind.

The medicinal power inside Ye Lingling was extremely stable.

The Eight Petal Immortal Orchid continuously nourished the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

A lustrous sheen gradually appeared upon its originally pure white petals.

Dugu Yan's situation was more complicated.

As the Jade Ganoderma passed through her meridians, part of its medicinal power was drawn by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom and began gathering toward her Martial Soul.

Tang Feng raised his right hand.

Two life vines pressed against Dugu Yan's wrist and shoulder.

Blue-gold life force entered her meridians, separating the diverted medicinal power once more.

Dugu Yan opened her eyes.

She glanced at the Blue-Gold Grass blade against her wrist.

"Are you tying me up again?"

"I'm helping you divert the medicinal power."

"It isn't dark blue this time."

"So it won't restrain you."

Dugu Yan closed her eyes again.

"Then leave it a while longer."

Tang Feng did not respond.

The Blue-Gold Vines gently tightened around her wrist, steadily sending medicinal power into her damaged meridians.

Dugu Yan's shoulders gradually relaxed.

The Jade Ganoderma continuously repaired her bloodline and meridians.

The radiance emitted by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul also became purer.

Time passed bit by bit.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened.

Only blue-gold life light flowed slowly through the room.

Several hours later.

The final trace of the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid's medicinal power merged into the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

Ye Lingling's Soul Power suddenly surged.

A layer of Soul Power barrier spread out from her body.

Level twenty-seven.

Level twenty-eight.

Level twenty-nine.

Her Soul Power broke through level after level.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia fully bloomed in her palm.

Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.

Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia floated in her palm, its white petals fully unfurled.

A lustrous glow flowed outward from the stamen.

A rich life aura spread with it, sweeping away all the fatigue in the room.

The Soul Power within her still did not stop.

Her level twenty-nine Soul Power repeatedly struck against the final barrier.

The remaining medicinal power of the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid flowed into her meridians.

A moment later.

A ring of white light spread from Ye Lingling's side.

Level thirty!

Her blue hair was lifted by the currents of Soul Power, several strands falling against her fair cheeks.

Ye Lingling raised her hand.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia slowly spun in her palm.

Every petal was more solid than before, and the life force released from its stamen had become several times richer.

She looked at Tang Feng.

"I'm level thirty."

Tang Feng withdrew the Life Blue Silver Emperor around her.

"Part of the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid's medicinal power remains in your body."

"Once you absorb your third Spirit Ring, the remaining medicinal power will continue increasing your Soul Power."

Ye Lingling lowered her head to look at the Nine-Hearted Begonia in her palm.

In the past, she could only rely on soul skills to heal.

Now, the life aura emitted by her Martial Soul itself could slowly heal minor injuries.

She withdrew the Nine-Hearted Begonia into her body.

"The value of this Immortal Herb can no longer be measured in Gold Soul Coins."

"I'll remember this."

Tang Feng looked toward the other side.

"Stabilize your Soul Power first."

Ye Lingling nodded.

She did not continue disturbing Dugu Yan. She rose and came to Tang Feng's side.

The hem of her white skirt lightly brushed over the soft cushion.

Their shoulders were very close together.

Ye Lingling lowered her gaze toward the Blue-Gold Vines still pressed against Dugu Yan's wrist.

"How much longer does she need?"

"Almost done."

The medicinal power of the Jade Ganoderma had already fused into every meridian in Dugu Yan's body.

The places once corroded by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom were gradually recovering under the nourishment of life force.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul behind Dugu Yan raised its head.

The emerald serpent phantom had become more solid than before.

Fine scales layered over one another, and a faint eerie light appeared in its snake eyes.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom remaining in her meridians was drawn by the Martial Soul and gathered back into the serpent phantom.

Emerald poisonous mist flowed around the Martial Soul.

Not a single wisp invaded Dugu Yan's flesh again.

Tang Feng raised his hand.

The Blue-Gold Vines moved from her wrist toward her shoulder.

Life Perception reexamined every main meridian.

All the tiny hidden injuries accumulated over the years had completely disappeared.

Under the nourishment of the Jade Ganoderma, Dugu Yan's skin had become even more delicate.

The close-fitting undershirt rose and fell gently with the flow of Soul Power.

Her long emerald-green hair cascaded down her back, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks.

The last trace of medicinal power merged into her Martial Soul.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent's shadow suddenly contracted, turning into green light and returning to Dugu Yan's body.

She opened her eyes.

A serpent-shaped gleam swiftly faded from her bright emerald-green pupils.

Dugu Yan raised her palm.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul appeared once more.

Poisonous mist rose from her palm, yet remained outside her skin.

She tried accelerating the circulation of her Soul Power.

There was no burning pain in her meridians.

Neither her shoulders, back, nor ribs felt numb or itchy.

The Jade Ganoderma had not only repaired her hidden injuries, but also made her control over the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom more precise.

Dugu Yan lowered her head and looked at her wrist.

The Blue-Gold Vines were still wrapped around it.

Gentle life energy flowed slowly against her skin.

She raised her eyes to Tang Feng.

"Can you let go now?"

Tang Feng withdrew the Life Blue Silver Emperor.

As the vine retreated from her wrist, blades of grass lightly brushed past her fingertips.

Dugu Yan's fingers instinctively lifted with it.

Blue-gold motes scattered from her palm.

She looked at her now-bare wrist, then put her outer uniform back on.

Her emerald-green hair was pinned beneath her collar.

Dugu Yan raised both hands, gathered her hair from beneath the collar, and spread it down her back again.

Ye Lingling walked over to her side.

"How do you feel?"

"Very good."

Dugu Yan rolled her shoulders.

She circulated her Soul Power again.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent's shadow coiled behind her, while the dense poisonous mist remained restrained by her Soul Power.

The stabbing pain of serpent venom seeping into her meridians was now completely gone.

Dugu Yan turned to Tang Feng.

"There really won't be any backlash in the future?"

"Not during normal cultivation."

Tang Feng glanced at the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul behind her.

"As long as you don't forcibly devour highly toxic poison beyond your limits, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom will remain within your Martial Soul."

"The Jade Ganoderma has already repaired your meridians."

"As your Soul Power increases in the future, your control over serpent venom will continue to strengthen."

Dugu Yan withdrew her Martial Soul.

She walked over to Tang Feng and raised her wrist.

There was not the slightest trace of hidden injury on her fair skin.

"Then the debt I owe you has grown by another mark."

"As long as you remember it."

"You really intend to keep me owing you forever?"

"You can repay me now."

Dugu Yan looked at him.

"What do you want?"

"I haven't thought of it yet."

Dugu Yan lowered her hand.

"Then take your time thinking."

"But I won't agree to any excessive demands."

Ye Lingling stood beside them.

"Yanyan, you didn't say there were conditions just now."

Dugu Yan immediately turned her head.

"Lingling, whose side are you on?"

"Whichever side makes sense."

Dugu Yan picked up the jade box that had held the Jade Ganoderma.

She glanced at Tang Feng and ultimately did not continue arguing.

Elsewhere.

Shrek Academy.

Ma Hongjun limped through the academy gates.

His clothes were covered in dust.

A clear footprint still marked his chest.

Several dark red welts remained where vines had wrapped around his wrists.

The Evil Fire Phoenix had been suppressed by destructive power and had yet to fully recover.

The moment Ma Hongjun crossed the threshold, his legs gave out, and he nearly fell to the ground.

Dai Mubai was coming out of the training grounds.

Seeing Ma Hongjun in such a state, he immediately stopped.

"Fatty, how did you end up like this?"

Ma Hongjun braced himself against a wooden pillar nearby.

His chest still ached faintly.

With every breath, the image of Tang Feng stepping on him resurfaced in his mind.

Dai Mubai came closer.

His gaze swept over the marks around Ma Hongjun's wrists.

"A vine Martial Soul?"

"Who beat you?"

Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth.

"Tang Feng!"
