"Xiaotian is right. We need to lay down the rules!"
After saying that, Elder Xu turned to Yun Tian and asked another question.
"But Xiaotian, what did you mean by that heartburn? Does laying down rules have something to do with the heart?"
Yun Tian smiled at his words and shrugged. "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed."
"Tch, heaven's secrets must not be revealed? All you do is put on a mystical act."
Shui Bing'er turned her head away and resumed chatting with Xue Wu and the others.
Meanwhile, inside Shrek Academy.
"What!!!!????"
A voice of extreme excitement, yet extreme restraint, rang across the entire training field.
Tang San clamped both hands over his ears. Even the eight spider legs on his back exerted a little force, shielding his ears.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Tang San looked at the owner of that voice before him, his brow filled with deep bewilderment.
Didn't I just show him these spider legs? Why did Teacher react so strongly?
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang seemed to realize the problem as well. In Tang San's eyes, he was all-powerful and all-knowing.
Yet he had actually acted like someone who had never seen the world. He had been far too careless.
"It's nothing, Xiaosan." With his back to Tang San, Yu Xiaogang worked to turn his expression into one of inexplicable confidence before turning around.
"Xiaosan, unless you have absolutely no other choice in the future, you must never reveal these spider legs to anyone else. Do you understand?"
Yu Xiaogang spoke earnestly. Even if he racked his little flat-topped head to pieces, he would never have imagined that his disciple, who had merely gone out to hunt for a third Soul Ring, would do this.
He had actually come back with an External Soul Bone!
"Yes, I understand, Teacher." Tang San nodded seriously.
Teacher is right. I have to listen to Teacher!
"Xiaogang, what are you two talking about?"
Flender's voice came from a distance. The next instant, his figure descended from the sky.
"Nothing. Flender, I've already decided on their next stage of training."
Although Flender was trustworthy, the fewer people who knew about this, the better. Fortunately, Zhao Wuji and the others had not recognized those spider legs as an External Soul Bone.
"Oh, really, Xiaogang?!" Delight immediately appeared on Flender's face.
He was counting on this old friend of his to train more powerful experts for their Shrek Academy.
"Yes. I've decided to have them participate in Soul Fighting at the Soto Great Soul Arena. Singles, doubles, team battles-they'll participate in all of them."
Yu Xiaogang nodded. His idea was simple.
In the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, he, Yu Xiaogang, had to lead these people to the championship!
When the time came to deal with their eligibility, at worst, he would lower himself and beg Bibi Dong.
He believed that, although they had not seen each other for so many years, Bibi Dong would still submit beneath him.
Getting Bibi Dong to grant their Shrek Academy eligibility to compete would be a breeze.
"Good, wonderful! Xiaogang, we really are brothers. You were thinking exactly what I was thinking!"
Flender patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder. He and this old brother of his were becoming more and more of one mind.
It was just a pity that there was only one little sister Erlong. Among the three of them, he was destined to grow old alone.
"By the way, Xiaogang, following your suggestion for Xiao'ao's third Soul Ring, he successfully obtained a Soul Skill that can send someone into a brief berserk state."
Thinking back on his old brother's arrangements for Oscar's Soul Skills, Flender felt they were nothing short of heavenly genius!
The first Soul Skill restored Soul Power, the second increased defense, and the third sent someone into a berserk state, increasing their attack power by one hundred percent for its duration.
These Soul Skills had been arranged entirely for combat!
Hearing Flender's words, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth curled up deeply.
He had spent half a month painstakingly coming up with Oscar's Soul Skills.
They were absolutely the most suitable Soul Skills for Oscar!
After returning from the Star Dou Great Forest and resting for three days, the Shrek group finally came to the Soto Great Soul Arena.
After registering, they crowded into the lounge.
Meanwhile, in Skywater Academy's lounge, Yun Tian, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
His gaze went straight toward the lounge occupied by Shrek Academy's group.
"They're finally here. But with Flender following them, it'll be hard to make a move."
Flender was a Soul Saint, and a rank seventy-eight Soul Saint at that, seven ranks above Elder Xu.
Elder Xu could only hold Flender off for a short time. Although that would be enough for Yun Tian to defeat Tang San and the others.
It would not be enough time to extract the bone.
An External Soul Bone was unlike a limb Soul Bone, which only required cutting off the corresponding limb.
Removing an External Soul Bone from a living person took an extremely long time, and that was before the External Soul Bone had fully fused with them.
Once it had fully fused, it could not be removed unless the person was killed.
"In the original story, Tang San fully fused with the Eight Spider Lances when they went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, using the pressure of Zhi Lin's Soul Power to complete the process."
At that thought, Yun Tian's eyes lit up.
Right, how did I forget Dugu Bo? I can have Dugu Bo go there ahead of time and lie in wait.
Once Tang San and the others show up, he can just abduct Tang San.
As for a reason, what a joke. Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial Worship Hall. Does he need a reason to seize someone?
As for whether he would feel awkward asking Dugu Bo to act.
Dugu Bo had personally promised back then that he would agree to anything.
He would be a fool not to use such a powerful hired fist.
At that thought, an evil smile involuntarily appeared on Yun Tian's face.
"Hmm, what an evil smile. Tell me, just what are you plotting?"
Shui Bing'er abruptly leaned in front of Yun Tian, casually bracing herself with both hands.
The two were so close at that moment that each could feel the warmth of the other's breath.
"Um, Bing'er, could you move your hands first?"
Yun Tian's gaze slowly lowered. Shui Bing'er's slender, jade-like hands were braced somewhere they should not have been.
Feeling something unusual beneath her hands, along with hearing Yun Tian's words, Shui Bing'er could not help looking down as well.
When she saw where her hands were braced, a rosy flush instantly stained her cheeks.
Immediately afterward, she jerked both hands away. But she lifted them too abruptly, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight toward Yun Tian.
Smack~
As luck would have it, when Shui Bing'er fell, her lips met Yun Tian's squarely.
In an instant, Shui Bing'er's face grew even redder, like a thoroughly cooked prawn.
"S... sorry!"
Shui Bing'er hurriedly stood up and turned her head aside.
Yun Tian's Adam's apple bobbed almost imperceptibly, and he crossed one leg over the other.
Pretty sweet!
Yun Tian also turned his head aside, stammering a little. "It's fine."
Hearing Yun Tian's voice, Shui Bing'er's face reddened further. This time, even her neck turned scarlet.
She plunged straight into Xue Wu's arms beside her, not daring to raise her head.
Xue Wu gave two dry coughs and put away her spectator's expression.
Elder Xu stood up and walked out then. Before leaving, he looked back at Yun Tian.
That glance was laden with meaning...
And there was the faint, almost imperceptible smile at the corners of his mouth.
