26 Sweet Potato Red Flame, Grandpa Xiao's Gift, Heading to Shrek Academy
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
"Little hands wave the shining hoe,
Blue Silver Grass in neat rows grow,
spirit power nourishes the strong seedlings,
Autumn brings full ears and a full granary!"
Within his sea of mental force, Xiao Ze used a watering can formed from his mental force, its interior filled with a mixture of mental force and spirit power, to continuously sprinkle the fields.
"Sigh… it's been a year, why haven't any new Agricultural Sprites appeared?" Xiao Ze realized that the appearance of Agricultural Sprites was purely a matter of luck.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Ze noticed a sweet potato suddenly burst from the ground, trembling violently. Its skin cracked with a 'kacha' sound, and a scorching red light erupted from the fissures like a volcanic eruption!
Then, its skin crumbled inch by inch.
Boom—!
Caramel-colored steam billowed, and a three-meter-tall sweet potato with flesh-like eyes shot up from the ground.
The sweet potato's flesh pulsed like lava, with golden syrup flowing on its surface. The high temperature filled the air with a sweet, cloying aroma.
Hardened caramel formed six-fingered giant claws, and six burning sweet potato vines emerged from its back, dancing wildly in the air.
"It's here!" Xiao Ze was delighted; a sweet potato Agricultural Sprite had appeared.
And it was an Excellent-grade one right from the start.
It seemed he had fed them quite a few good things before.
It was a pity these resources weren't better, otherwise, after a year, only Xi Mang would have reached the Fine-grade.
Jade Gold and Earth Potato King were still only Excellent, a certain distance from the Fine-grade.
"A lava-like sweet potato, from now on you shall be called Red Flame."
Red Flame was very happy to have a name. It moved closer to Xiao Ze, wanting to stroke his head, but passed directly through Xiao Ze's body.
Red Flame was stunned, then panicked, almost crying, thinking it had killed its master.
"Don't be nervous, I'm a mental body here, without a physical form." Xiao Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry; this one was a crybaby.
Despite being the largest of the five Agricultural Sprites, it was a crybaby.
Red Flame nodded, its mood much improved.
Now he could have one more Agricultural Sprite, he just didn't know if it would be a chili pepper or a tea leaf that appeared.
Back to reality.
Xiao Ze went to the principal's office, preparing to bid farewell to Grandpa Xiao, as he was going to a intermediate academy.
In the past year, Tang San and Xiao Wu had been much quieter, no longer bothering him.
Xiao Ze had a very comfortable time. As for Yu Xiaogang, he had left the academy not long ago, his whereabouts unknown.
But it didn't matter; Yu Xiaogang posed no threat to him.
A good-for-nothing, unless he could summon Bibi Dong for revenge.
As for Tang Hao, he was dead, so Tang San's threat was not very significant for now.
Xiao Ze still hadn't figured out whether this person truly possessed the divine force of the Asura God.
Arriving at the principal's office.
Grandpa Xiao immediately pulled Xiao Ze to sit down.
"Xiao Ze, you're leaving school tomorrow, have you decided where you're going?"
"Grandpa Xiao, I plan to go to Shrek Academy first to take a look."
Grandpa Xiao frowned: "Xiao Ze, I've looked into Shrek Academy. Besides the teachers being powerful, it has no advantages whatsoever.
There's no simulated cultivation, no resources; it's not a good place for you at all.
Don't listen to Yu Xiaogang's nonsense.
And many students at Shrek Academy have died on the way to acquire spirit rings."
Xiao Ze was a little surprised; he hadn't expected Grandpa Xiao to have looked into Shrek Academy for his sake.
However, Xiao Ze only planned to visit, nothing more. He wouldn't stay at Shrek Academy indefinitely.
He also planned to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to find Dugu Yan.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was extremely important for his cultivation.
He already had a very good cultivation speed near Blue Silver Grass, so wouldn't his cultivation speed explode at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
As for the Immortal Herbs, they could also be used to cultivate Agricultural Sprites.
As for recognizing Immortal Herbs, Xiao Ze had a better method.
"Grandpa Xiao, I understand. I'm just going to take a look. I know what I'm doing."
"It's good that you know what you're doing, it's good that you know what you're doing." Grandpa Xiao's spirits were getting better and better now.
Grandpa Xiao looked closely at Xiao Ze, sighing with emotion: "Six years have passed, and you've become more and more mature, and your strength has grown. Perhaps in the future, you can become a Titled Douluo."
"Grandpa Xiao, I will definitely become a Titled Douluo, and I will come back to see you soon."
Xiao Ze was a very nostalgic person; he had just returned from Qingxi Village not long ago.
After all, this departure would mean a long time before he returned.
He left them many crops like rice and wheat.
"Grandpa Xiao, these are for you." Xiao Ze took out bag after bag of crops.
Grandpa Xiao smiled gently: "Child, I'll accept these."
Grandpa Xiao knew Xiao Ze didn't lack these things; they were all from his heart.
"Mm."
Then Xiao Ze chatted with Grandpa Xiao for a long time before returning to his room.
Watching Xiao Ze's departing back, Grandpa Xiao was silent for a long time before speaking: "He's truly a good child."
"It seems I need to give him that."
The next day.
Xiao Ze and Tang San arrived at the academy gate, and Grandpa Xiao walked over.
"Child, come here."
Xiao Ze immediately went to Grandpa Xiao.
Grandpa Xiao handed Xiao Ze a ring: "This is a spirit tool I found when I was young. Inside, there's a strange hoe; I don't know what it's for, but I think it's unusual. Xiao Ze, take it."
Xiao Ze was slightly surprised; this golden spirit tool looked extraordinary.
"Okay, Grandpa Xiao, I'll accept it."
"Mm, go. Keep walking forward, and you'll reach the end." Grandpa Xiao patted Xiao Ze's shoulder.
Xiao Ze turned and walked away with Tang San, looking back every three steps.
Until Grandpa Xiao's figure disappeared from his sight.
A few days later.
A handsome, dark-skinned young man entered Soto City, followed by an ordinary-looking man and a girl with a scorpion braid.
"Xiao Ze, what are we doing now?"
"Of course, we're going to find a hotel to rest and prepare to go to Shrek Academy tomorrow."
Xiao Ze also planned to check out the gift Grandpa Xiao gave him.
He didn't want to wander around with the two of them.
"Alright."
Soon, the three arrived in front of a large rose.
Xiao Ze's mouth twitched; a love hotel on the Douluo Continent.
"This hotel is so beautiful, Third Brother, let's stay here."
"Okay."
"You two go in first, I'm going to buy something."
"Mm."
Tang San completely ignored Xiao Ze and directly took Xiao Wu inside.
"Hello, I'd like two rooms."
The attendant looked at him, then at Xiao Wu behind him, with a strange expression: "We only have one room left."
"This… that'll do."
"Alrighty."
"Presumptuous! You must be a new attendant, aren't you? Don't you know you need to save a room for this young master?"
At this moment, a handsome man with golden hair and double pupils walked in from outside, holding two women in his arms.
They were twins.
It was none other than Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai came to the front desk and slapped it with his large hand: "Call your manager over."
The attendant saw that this person was no ordinary individual and quickly walked away.
"What's wrong with you?!"
