Hearing Tang San's introduction, Ning Rongrong was slightly startled as well.
"Level 29, Blue Silver Grass! Can Blue Silver Grass really cultivate this quickly?"
"Are you ready? The time for one incense stick has already passed!"
"We can talk about everything else later. Let's beat him up first! Martial Soul Possession!"
"Alright! Seven Treasures Reveal Glazed Light!"
Ning Rongrong summoned the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, its seven-colored radiance dazzling and brilliant.
This was also Lan Hong's first time seeing the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. He was rather curious about this martial soul, known as the number one Support System martial soul in the world.
Tang San also summoned his Blue Silver Grass martial soul. His Blue Silver Grass was no different from that in the original plot.
"Alright! You may begin your attack!"
"Seven Treasures have names: first, strength; second, speed!"
Two beams of light empowered Tang San and Xiao Wu, and they immediately felt their strength and speed greatly increase.
"This boost is incredible! I'm going in!"
Xiao Wu instantly charged at Zhao Wuji, while Tang San simultaneously unleashed his First Spirit Skill.
"First Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Binding!"
Blue Silver Grass vines wrapped around Zhao Wuji's body, but with a slight movement, Zhao Wuji snapped them apart.
Xiao Wu's kick followed, but even her full-force kick was little more than a scratch to Zhao Wuji.
That was without Zhao Wuji even using his martial soul. The gap between a Soul Elder and a Soul Saint was simply too great.
"Damn it! He's practically a wall! I refuse to believe it!"
Xiao Wu attacked Zhao Wuji repeatedly. Although Zhao Wuji only defended and did not counterattack, Xiao Wu still had no way to break his defense.
This girl, I only told her yesterday. How did she already forget?
Unable to break Zhao Wuji's defense, Xiao Wu grew somewhat anxious. She wanted to use her Second Spirit Skill, Charm, to control Zhao Wuji, then give him a vicious beating.
Just as she was about to do so, Lan Hong's voice sounded again.
"Don't use it! Your Spiritual Power is far below that of a Soul Saint. Using it will only cause backlash! Listen to my commands from now on!"
"What is it, little girl? Are you planning to give up? As a Soul Elder, your combat instincts are already quite good."
"Who says so? I'll definitely break your defense today!"
"Hehe! Then I'll wait and see!"
Tang San was not very useful in this battle. His Blue Silver Grass had weak offensive power, and Zhao Wuji neither dodged nor needed him to control the battlefield.
He could only stand to the side as a spectator like Ning Rongrong. As for Hidden Weapons, without Golden Thread, ordinary Hidden Weapons could not break Zhao Wuji's defense either.
Xiao Wu's next kick went straight for Zhao Wuji's throat. Zhao Wuji raised a hand to block it, then came attacks at his eyes, ribs, the center of his back, and groin.
Those were all vital areas. Even if Zhao Wuji had confidence in his defense, he would instinctively move to protect them.
"Why did your attacks suddenly become so vicious, little girl?!"
"None of your business! Keep taking my attacks!"
Xiao Wu launched another flurry of attacks. As Zhao Wuji focused on protecting his vital areas, he failed to notice that his lower abdomen had already been struck repeatedly by Xiao Wu.
In the end, Xiao Wu unleashed a full-power kick at Zhao Wuji's lower abdomen—right where his kidneys were.
"Ah!"
Zhao Wuji cried out miserably. Xiao Wu's kick had broken through his defense, and the pain pierced straight to his core.
"Yeah! I told you, I could definitely break your defense!"
It took Zhao Wuji quite some time to recover. Then he walked over angrily.
"Y-you, what are you trying to do? You set the rules yourself. Are you going back on your word?"
"Hah! You've passed! From now on, you are students of Shrek Academy!
"You really are impressive, little girl. Even without activating my martial soul, my defense is not something an ordinary Soul Elder could break!"
Xiao Wu blushed slightly. After all, she had only managed to break Zhao Wuji's defense because Lan Hong had been directing her from behind the scenes.
Tang San, however, felt rather sour. He felt that Xiao Wu had stolen all of his shining moments.
He shook his head and cast those thoughts aside. How could he be jealous of Xiao Wu? Absolutely not!
At that moment, Lan Hong's voice sounded beside Xiao Wu's ear again.
"I'm leaving! See you in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
With that, Lan Hong left Shrek Academy. He had not detected where Tang Hao was hiding, but he knew Tang Hao had to be nearby.
He was not worried that Tang Hao would discover him. He was still confident in his ability to conceal his tracks.
After returning to Suotuo City, Lan Hong met up with Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing at the tea house they had agreed upon.
"Did your friend enroll in Shrek Academy?"
"Mm."
"Why?"
"Her situation is rather special. I'll explain it to you later!
"We'll rest in Suotuo City tonight and leave tomorrow. No objections?"
"No problem!"
"I don't have any objections either!"
That night, Lan Hong extracted the Golden Thread from the Crystal Plate in his room.
Tang San had named this thing the Dragon Whisker Needle, claiming it was some kind of natural Hidden Weapon. Only someone from the Tang Sect would think of turning everything into a Hidden Weapon.
In Lan Hong's eyes, this Golden Thread was an excellent substitute for silver needles. Using Golden Thread to perform Silver Needle Acupoint Guidance would surely yield twice the results with half the effort.
Just as Lan Hong finished extracting the Golden Thread from the Crystal Plate and was preparing to cultivate, his expression suddenly darkened.
"Tang Hao! Why has he come to Suotuo City now? And he seems to be heading in this direction! Is it a coincidence, or...?"
Whatever the case, Lan Hong had already prepared for the worst. At the same time, he sent voice transmissions to Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan.
Tang Hao first went to Shrek Academy to see Flender. He told Flender that Tang San was his son and asked him to take good care of him.
Because Tang San's spotlight had been stolen, Zhao Wuji escaped disaster and was not beaten into a pig's head by Tang Hao.
What was more unusual was that Tang Hao had deliberately asked Flender about Dai Mubai.
After learning that Dai Mubai had good talent and truly was the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, other thoughts arose in his mind.
He wanted to do Dai Mubai a favor, making him a source of support for Tang San in the future.
Tang Hao wanted Tang San to grow strong enough to take revenge against Spirit Hall, but one person alone could not stand against a behemoth like Spirit Hall.
Shrek Academy's current lineup could serve as an excellent foundation for Tang San.
Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Though he had been expelled from the clan, he was still Yu Yuanzhen's biological son.
Dai Mubai was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Ning Rongrong was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and with Tang San himself included, the Star Luo Empire and the Upper Three Sects were all accounted for.
As long as he could make proper use of this foundation, there would be hope for revenge against Spirit Hall.
Thus, Tang Hao set his sights on Zhu Zhuqing. Sending Zhu Zhuqing back to Dai Mubai's side would certainly be an enormous favor to Dai Mubai.
As for Dugu Yan, he did not care about her at all. As long as he did not injure Dugu Yan, Poison Douluo would not fight Clear Sky Douluo to the death.
Lan Hong would never have imagined Tang Hao could be so shameless as to want to capture Zhu Zhuqing and deliver her back to Dai Mubai.
But there was no point saying any of that now. Tang Hao had already barged directly into Zhu Zhuqing's room.
Although Lan Hong had warned her, Zhu Zhuqing was still badly startled.
