At the thought that something might have happened to Ah Yin, Tang Hao's heart burned with anxiety, and fury blazed within him.
Yet at that moment, he did not dare leave the Star Dou Great Forest lightly.
Xiao Wu had been carried off by the Titan Giant Ape. Judging by how they had acted, they probably knew each other, so she should be safe.
Tang San was absorbing his third soul ring, one beyond his level at that. Not even the slightest mishap could be allowed.
Tang Hao was torn. Something happening to Ah Yin was only his speculation.
Tang San, on the other hand, really was in trouble...
In the end, he decided to stay for now and wait until Tang San and Xiao Wu left the Star Dou Great Forest.
Shrek Academy had admitted only two new students that year: Tang San and Xiao Wu.
On this trip, one had been snatched away by the Titan Giant Ape, her fate unknown.
The other was absorbing a soul ring beyond his level, leaving his life in the hands of fate.
Zhao Wuji sat on the ground, utterly dejected.
How was he supposed to explain this when he returned?
Encountering a hundred-thousand-year soul beast on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest-and a fucking Titan Giant Ape at that...
Would Flender and the others even believe him?
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun looked just as grim.
All of them had suffered injuries to some degree on this trip.
What really hurt was that they had lost a party member!
Their only girl might already have hit HP = 0!
Without Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, the plot for the Shrek group had not changed much.
They had gone through everything they were meant to experience.
The process had only deviated slightly, without affecting the subsequent "plot."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi gazed at the newly arrived letter and fell silent.
Chu Sheng, address unknown, eighteen years old.
Martial souls: Nüba (not yet confirmed), space. Exact strength unknown (probably at the peak of Soul Ancestor or at Soul King).
Previous battle records...
Chu Sheng said: Shrek fishes for fame and reputation...
Chu Sheng said: How support-type soul masters can stay alive... (the young lady tested it; effective)
After a long while, Ning Fengzhi set down the letter, a faint smile rising at the corners of his mouth.
"As expected of my daughter. You have a good eye."
"After hearing Chu Sheng... no, in Rongrong's words, that nasty jerk's remarks."
At this point, Ning Fengzhi let out a rare laugh.
"This Shrek Academy really is a gathering of fame-fishing frauds."
"If they only admit monsters, of course it's an academy of monsters."
"And Flender is so poor that they don't have a single facility they ought to have..."
"You almost fooled even me!"
Ning Fengzhi paused, then continued murmuring.
"Eighteen years old, most likely twin martial souls, at the peak of Soul Ancestor or at Soul King..."
"A monstrous talent like this. Excellent, excellent!"
"It's just his personality... a little... how should I put it?"
"Rongrong had already paid him, yet he could still bring himself to hit her!"
"Ah..."
He seemed to be sighing, but he could not suppress the upturned corners of his mouth!
"If the opportunity arises, I must meet this prospective son-in-law!"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a gap between its old generation and its new. That was a fact.
They had to win over Chu Sheng, this peerless monstrous talent!
Even if they had to tie him up, they had to bind him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
He liked money?
If there was one thing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect never lacked, it was money!
"Fengzhi, what has you so happy?"
Chen Xin suddenly appeared and asked in puzzlement.
Ever since Ning Fengzhi became sect master, it had been a long time since he had seen him this happy.
"Uncle Jian, take a look!"
Ning Fengzhi made no attempt to hide anything and handed Chen Xin the letter in front of him.
Chen Xin took the letter and began reading.
He wanted to see just what had made Ning Fengzhi so happy!
"Hm?"
Chen Xin's brow furrowed...
Chen Xin's brows knitted tightly...
Realization dawned on Chen Xin, leaving him somewhat stunned!
"Holy shit!"
Even Chen Xin could not help crying out in shock.
"No wonder you're smiling so happily!"
"This lad is impressive!"
That was Chen Xin's assessment.
"When they arrive in Heaven Dou City, I must meet this monstrous talent!"
Meanwhile, in Nuoding City.
Under cover of night, Chu Sheng silently returned to the hotel.
Throughout the entire process, not a single person noticed him.
"System bugs are great! Those two draws were practically free!"
Transplanting the Blue Silver Emperor was only the first stage of Chu Sheng's plan.
Driving a wedge between Tang Hao and Ah Yin was the second step.
He would tell Ah Yin certain details about her sacrifice all those years ago.
Driving a wedge into the mother-son bond between Tang San and Ah Yin was the third step.
The real Tang San was already dead. The current Tang San was a dead soul from another world!
The matter involving Tang Hao might have been speculation, but the one involving Tang San was one hundred percent true!
Guaranteed authentic!
Yet he had only completed the first stage... and already succeeded in winning her over!
It was like preparing a huge pile of revision materials, only for the exam to ask what one plus one equaled!
There was also a feeling of having honed his sword for years, only to draw it and look around in bewilderment.
System: "..."
The host was clearly getting a bargain and still playing coy!
"System, draw!"
Upon hearing this,
The system stopped mocking Chu Sheng and immediately opened the draw interface to begin the process.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the complete Tang Sect legacy and extensive cultivation experience."
"???"
This time, Chu Sheng really had not reloaded his save!
Honestly, Chu Sheng was stunned!
Although this stuff... was nothing special.
If he did not keep it, though, he felt he would never be satisfied!
Given the system's usual antics, this so-called complete Tang Sect legacy and extensive cultivation experience had all been stripped straight from Tang San!
"This prize pool is cultivation methods, huh? I..."
Chu Sheng was deeply conflicted, his brows tightly knitted.
In his eyes, the Tang Sect legacy Tang San possessed was hardly impressive.
But... if he did not keep it, he could not get past that hurdle in his heart!
"Forget it. I'll just treat this as getting only one draw."
In the end, Chu Sheng did not reload his save and chose to keep the reward instead.
In an instant, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track...
The Sleeve Arrow, Grain Rain Pear Blossom Needle, Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Pear Blossom Needle...
Vast amounts of knowledge flooded Chu Sheng's mind. With his "extensive cultivation experience," he grasped it instantly and mastered it in a heartbeat.
It was as though it were an instinct he had been born with.
Tang San, who was absorbing his soul ring, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood for no apparent reason.
How am I supposed to circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill?
Wait, what is the Mysterious Heaven Skill?
No, no... I seem to have forgotten everything. Forgotten what?
Did I ever have memories like that?
Right, the Tang Sect. I'm a reincarnated disciple of the Tang Sect, but what are its cultivation methods and martial techniques?
Tang San was dazed. He only remembered that he was a reincarnated disciple of the Tang Sect.
He remembered very clearly why he had reincarnated.
But his other memories-cultivation methods, martial techniques, hidden weapons, hidden weapon techniques, the illustrated compendium of immortal herbs... he could not remember a single one.
Anything connected to the Tang Sect legacy had been wiped from his memory!
He did not even remember that those things had ever existed...
"Hiss..."
I'm absorbing a soul ring! How can I be thinking about these things?
How was I supposed to absorb a soul ring again?
Right, right! The meditation method Teacher taught me!
Chu Sheng had no idea that this move had nearly emptied Tang San's HP bar!
Absorbing a soul ring beyond his level, forgetting his cultivation method midway, forcibly disrupting the rhythm of absorption...
His Way of Seeking Death buffs were almost fully stacked.
Yet Tang San stubbornly refused to die, tenacious as a cockroach!
