Sea Dragon Entanglement! Yu Xiaogang Lost His Way
If in this life he can truly demonstrate overwhelming power and lead Shrek Academy back to its divine throne, the entire academy will naturally be willing to devote everything to his upbringing and training; but if he loses his Divine Realm cultivation and becomes arrogant and incompetent, only knowing how to drain the academy's savings accumulated over millennia like an insatiable vampire...
The so-called founding patriarch, the Sea God or anything Sea God, are of little significance to Shrek Academy, which is currently beset by internal and external troubles.
In the following days, Shrek successively delivered various rare medicines that nourish the meridians and replenish qi and blood.
Tang San secluded himself in a quiet room on the bottom floor of the Sea God Pavilion, using the medicinal power to completely fuse the 100,000-year-old Rock Armor Giant Ape's Right Arm Bone into his body.
The immense energy of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone washed over his limbs and bones, not only making the eight-year-old child's physique stronger, but also naturally pushing his Soul Power to the bottleneck of level 20.
On the day he emerged from seclusion, Tang San did not linger at all and immediately proposed to hunt for his Second Soul Ring.
Before the lingering poison of the Evil Fire on Xuan Zi's left arm had been completely cleared, the Sea God Pavilion sent Cai Mei'er, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, to accompany him personally.
The two headed east to the coast and searched the sea for less than half a day before encountering an Iron-Scaled Sea Python with a cultivation level of about 1,100 years in the shallow reef area.
Cai Mei'er glanced at the age of the sea python and was about to lead Tang San to the deep sea to continue searching for better targets when Tang San raised his hand to stop her:
"This is it, no need to wait any longer."
Cai Mei'er was stunned for a moment:
"Ancestor, this sea serpent is just over a thousand years old. With your physique now fused with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, you are perfectly capable of withstanding Soul Beast of even greater age..."
"Let's do it." Tang San said calmly, without offering any explanation.
His mind was filled with images of the Immortal Herb in the Sunset Forest.
A mere transitional second-ring Soul Skill is hardly worth spending days and nights carefully selecting at sea.
The mere hundred-year difference in age is negligible. In the future, as long as he connects with the Divine Realm and initiates the divine trial, the divine rewards will instantly raise the age of all his Soul Ring. Right now, seizing the time is the most important thing.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Cai Mei'er said no more. She raised her hand and used her Soul Power to stun the Iron-Scaled Sea Python, sealing its chance to fight back and leaving it for Tang San to kill.
Half an hour later, a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring condensed and took shape under Tang San's feet.
Second Soul Skill, [Sea Dragon Bind].
Tang San stood up and raised his hand to the rocks by the sea. Strands of azure dragon-shaped Soul Power condensed out of thin air, coiled out Entanglement his arm, and instantly strangled a boulder three zhang away. Accompanied by a crushing sound like bones grinding, several deep cracks appeared on the surface of the boulder.
A standard, unremarkable Soul Skill.
Tang San dispersed his Soul Power and looked at the shattered rocks, his face showing little joy. Having grown accustomed to divine skills and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, this ordinary thousand-year Soul Skill was truly insignificant in his eyes.
However, the slight resemblance to the Blue Silver Entanglement of his previous life only stirred up some emotions in him.
Upon returning to the Shrek Academy, Tang San didn't even ask for a rest, and went straight to the Sea God Pavilion to find Mu En.
"I'm going to the Sunset Forest of the Heavenly Soul Empire," Tang San said, getting straight to the point.
Mu En leaned back in his recliner and asked gently:
What was our ancestor looking for there?
"A Herb Garden I left in the Lower Realm ten thousand years ago." Tang San's gaze fell on Mu En's hunched, withered body, its vitality waning day by day.
"Many rare and Immortal-Grade Medicinal Herb grow there, some of which should be helpful for your old injuries and depleted vital Origin Source."
Yan Shaozhe, standing beside Mu En, suddenly raised his head, his breathing quickening:
"Master, is this truly true?!"
Mu En's health has always been the biggest worry for the entire Sea God Pavilion. If his life could be extended, it would be worth any price to pay.
Tang San carried his hands on his back, not making his statement completely:
"We'll know exactly how much recovery is possible once we get the medicine and try it."
Mu En stared at Tang San with his cloudy eyes for a moment, then slowly nodded:
"In that case, Yan Shaozhe, you and Xuan Zi will accompany our ancestor on this journey. Make sure to protect him well along the way."
"Yes!" Yan Shaozhe immediately agreed, his attitude noticeably more enthusiastic than a few days ago.
Tang San then took out a list he had written beforehand from his pocket and handed it to Yan Shaozhe. The paper was densely filled with dozens of Cold Jade Box for sealing medicine, specially made metal containers engraved with arrays to maintain the vitality of plants, and a total of five high-level Storage Soul Tool with large capacity.
Yan Shaozhe glanced down at the containers, somewhat surprised. "Do we need so many containers just to get a few herbs?"
"Ten thousand years have passed, and that precious land has remained undisturbed. The Immortal Herb and spiritual medicines within must have multiplied and accumulated considerably," Tang San said matter-of-factly.
"Now that we've gone, we should bring back more so that we can enrich the academy's resources in the future."
Upon hearing the words "enriching the academy's foundation," Yan Shaozhe felt a surge of anticipation. If they could truly bring back a ten-thousand-year-old Herb Garden, not only would Mu En's injuries be cured, but the Inner Court could also cultivate several more top-tier talents.
He dared not delay, and immediately took the list out of the Sea God Pavilion, handed it to the academy's manager in charge of external procurement, and ordered him to expedite the preparations.
Because the number of high-grade Herb-Sealing Jade Box on the order was too large, the academy's warehouse could not gather them all at once. The purchasing manager immediately used his channels to send urgent orders to several large merchants in Shrek City with whom he had long-term cooperation.
Meanwhile, in the Sun Moon Empire, in the Ming Capital...
Inside the laboratory of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Shen Heng reviewed Huo Yuhao's leave request, pushed the stamped leave document back onto the table, and without looking up, gave him a few words of advice:
"You can take leave, but only for one month. When you return, you must catch up on all the missed Soul Tool manufacturing projects on time."
Huo Yuhao quickly took the document with both hands and stuffed it into his pocket. "Thank you, teacher!"
Back in his dormitory, he quickly packed a change of clothes and went to the market Outer City Ming Capital to buy dry food, a detailed map of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and several bottles of Antidote. At daybreak, he hurriedly left Ming Capital and headed north towards the Heavenly Soul Empire.
On the first half of the Official Road, Yu Xiaogang in his Sea of Spirit appeared quite confident, occasionally pointing out directions and urging Huo Yuhao to quicken his pace.
But when Huo Yuhao finally stepped into the vast forest on the outskirts of Sunset Forest after several days of effort, Yu Xiaogang's voice began to become increasingly indistinct.
At first, he firmly told Huo Yuhao to follow the shady side of the main mountain range. After walking for most of the day without seeing any trace of the poison array, he changed his mind and said that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was full of moisture and that they should look for it near the water source deep in the forest.
Huo Yuhao activated his Spiritual Detection and trudged through the dense forest for two days, his clothes torn in several places by thorns.
On the afternoon of the third day, looking at the gurgling stream in front of her and the moss-covered boulder by the stream where she had rested the day before, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in her Sea of Consciousness finally could not bear it any longer.
"Old man, do you even remember the way?!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm jumped up from the Icefield, pointing at the stream outside and shouting.
"Yuhao, following your directions, you've turned left and right countless times! Now you've circled back to that river from yesterday, exactly as you described!"
