Tang San Breaks into a Cold Sweat Again

Tang San was instantly drenched in cold sweat by the diary written before him.

"What kind of strange book is this? No, a bizarre diary... It actually predicted my past?"

"Even my future fate?"

"This is far too terrifying. It is simply unheard of!"

"Not even Tang San, my so-called father in this world, knows the secret I carry!"

"Ever since I was inexplicably tested for a Martial Soul in Holy Soul Village, then tested by Su Yuntao and made my way to Spirit Hall with my left hand..."

"There has never been a precedent for something like this!"

Tang San remained unable to recover from his panic for a long time.

As he thought, a wave of lingering fear rose within him.

Could his future truly be as the diary described, with some great calamity about to befall him?

Just as Tang San planned to inspect the diary's contents again, the moment he opened it—

The diary gradually vanished from Tang San's hand with the passage of time, as though it had never existed at all.

"How strange. The diary was just in my hand. How could it disappear into thin air?"

"Could my cultivation have gone wrong?"

"Am I starting to hallucinate?"

"But the contents of the diary felt incomparably real, and it even contained details about my origins."

His instincts told him that some invisible force seemed to have been guiding him all along.

The succession of strange events made Tang San begin to question his own life.

His mind kept replaying the despair from before he jumped off the cliff, when the Tang Sect had hunted him down and driven him into a dead end.

At Spirit Hall, the diary's contents left him somewhat short of breath.

At the same moment, the diary in Zhu Zhuqing's hand also disappeared.

Inside Shrek Academy.

Xiao Wu's dormitory.

Ever since Xiao Wu arrived at Shrek Academy, she had been sharing a room with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong was the pampered young lady of an aristocratic family, always putting on an overbearing air.

There was also the matter of her fighting Zhu Zhuqing for the diary when they had first enrolled.

Now, it was difficult for Xiao Wu to find any common topics with them.

On top of that, the diary in her hand had vanished into thin air, leaving her feeling extremely dejected.

The dormitory's atmosphere was nowhere near as lively and carefree as when she was with Yang Feng.

At that thought, Xiao Wu realized that she had not seen Yang Feng for a long time.

She decided to go see how Yang Feng and his new roommate were getting along.

"Yang Feng hasn't come to see me even once since coming to Shrek Academy. How hateful!"

"He got a new roommate and forgot the friend who came here with him!"

Xiao Wu's face flushed red with pent-up anger.

"I'm going to settle the score with him! Hmph!"

She sprinted toward Yang Feng's dormitory.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang also arrived at Shrek Academy.

His hair, once black and neatly combed, was now gray and disheveled. His stubble was coarse and uneven, his back hunched, and his body gaunt, making it difficult for him to stand straight.

His old gray cloth robe was worn through and stained with mud, tied at the waist with hemp rope. Even the cloth shoes on his feet were slightly split.

He held a manuscript covered in frequent annotations. Only when discussing Martial Souls did his eyes shine with vigor.

Here, Shrek Academy's students respectfully addressed him as "Grandmaster" or Teacher.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang spotted Xiao Wu inside the academy.

He waved and called out:

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, come here. I'm your teacher!"

"Grandmaster, why have you come to Shrek Academy?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

"Ever since you and Yang Feng left, my life at Nuoding Academy has been very dull. I lost much of the joy we shared together."

"So I decided to come to Shrek Academy as a substitute teacher, and also to see how much you and Xiao Wu have improved."

"How far have you grown by now?"

Xiao Wu walked ahead of Yu Xiaogang and led him toward Yang Feng's dormitory.

Before long, they arrived beneath the building where Yang Feng's dormitory was located.

"Yang Feng, get down here quickly!"

"Come see who has come to visit you!"

Inside the dormitory, Yang Feng and Ma Hongjun were eating the food Ma Hongjun had bought.

Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Yang Feng immediately ran to the window and saw two familiar figures.

One was Xiao Wu, while the other was Yu Xiaogang, who had grown somewhat older.

Yu Xiaogang also spotted Yang Feng at the upstairs window.

He and Yang Feng had not seen each other for a long time.

"Come, my disciple. Let me see how much your strength has grown!"

Ma Hongjun, who had been eating nearby, saw Yang Feng leaning out the window and had no idea what he was doing.

He followed him to the window and looked down in the direction Yang Feng was watching.

When the academy's students saw that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had returned to Shrek Academy—

The academy field was instantly packed with students.

Yang Feng and Ma Hongjun also hurried down from upstairs to where Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu were standing.

Yang Feng scratched his head and spoke apologetically.

"I'm really sorry, Xiao Wu! I haven't had time lately to come play with you!"

"Master, why did you come too?"

When the academy students saw someone calling Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang "Master," they immediately gathered around to watch.

"Look, someone called Grandmaster 'Master'!"

"What? When did Grandmaster take on a disciple? There wasn't any news before."

"Yeah, I heard he never planned to take on disciples."

"What is going on now?"

The first thing Yu Xiaogang wanted to do when he saw Yang Feng was inspect the state of his Martial Soul.

Hearing this, Yang Feng did not know whether Yu Xiaogang could accept that his Martial Soul had changed from the Soft Bone Rabbit into the same powerful assault-type Beast Martial Soul as Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix.

Thus, Yang Feng summoned his current Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

Seeing the Martial Soul's form, Yu Xiaogang was first startled.

Then, seeing Yang Feng alter his Martial Soul, he began to warn him.

"You are changing your own Martial Soul so casually. Aren't you afraid there might be a price to pay?" Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with worry, and the wrinkles on it became even more pronounced.

After speaking, Yu Xiaogang began flipping through the research notes he constantly kept on Martial Souls.

However, Yang Feng's Mutated Martial Soul had been given to him by the system. If it were carefully compared—

By all logic, Yang Feng's Martial Soul did not belong to any existing Martial Soul system.

It was even a Martial Soul of unknown quality created by the system.

Yang Feng was also analyzing whether there were any contradictions or flaws in Yu Xiaogang's theory.

The system's voice once again interrupted his thoughts.

[The current system mission has been completed.]

[Beginning settlement of the current plot rewards.]

[Current progress: 95% of the progress bar has been completed.]

[The remaining 5% can be completed through the natural progression of the plot involving Dean Flender.]

[System reward settlement beginning...]

Yang Feng looked at the system's rewards expectantly, wondering what items it would grant this time.

Perhaps medicinal herbs that could strengthen his own power, or items that could speed up his Soul Power cultivation.
