Tang Hao looked utterly dumbfounded. It was his first time encountering something like this — he had clearly intended to go knock some sense into Zhang Fan.Yet somehow, as if possessed, he ended up attacking himself instead. He couldn't make sense of it at all. He was on the verge of losing his mind.
"Bang bang..."He kept smashing at his own crotch.
It was unstoppable.
It was like he had swallowed a hyperactive pill.
"Bang bang..."
Tang Hao was furious beyond words but utterly helpless.
He was completely baffled — every time he thought about roughing up Zhang Fan, something bizarre would happen.Last time, he had mistaken his own son for Zhang Fan.This time, he was beating himself senseless.
It left him speechless to the point of despair.He decided he probably shouldn't even think about beating Zhang Fan anymore. Otherwise, it felt like some divine being was guarding that kid.
"Aarghhh..."
Tang Hao screamed in agony — he had hammered his precious brother crooked.
His heart was filled with bitterness, but he had no idea how to stop.In desperation, he flashed over to a nearby tree.
"Bang..."As he raised his hammer, he slammed it into the tree instead.
"Bang..."At least this way, he wasn't destroying his manhood anymore.
He felt a little bit more comfortable after that.
...
Meanwhile, Zhang Fan was sleeping when he suddenly jerked awake.
He saw Dugu Bo appearing at the window, the moonlight shining on his back, giving him a somewhat sinister look.
"Hey there, little monster!" Dugu Bo said with a smile.
"What do you want?"Zhang Fan frowned.
"You already know about my poisoning, right? Can you help me detoxify it?"Dugu Bo smiled warmly, his attitude doing a full 360-degree shift.After all, he had been suffering from the poison for way too long. His granddaughter had been poisoned even before birth — it would be a massive problem in the future.
He had thought it over for a long time before coming to see Zhang Fan.
"I'll take you to a place — my medicine garden. There are lots of spirit herbs there!" Dugu Bo said with a grin.
"Why should I go with you?"Zhang Fan shook his head and said,"What's in it for me?"
"Of course, there's something! I'll introduce you to a great place. There's a hot spring there, filled with rare herbs. But it's very dangerous!"Dugu Bo said, still smiling.
"Fine, let's take a look."Zhang Fan nodded.This way, he could skip a lot of trouble and go straight into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Whoosh..."Zhang Fan dashed out.
Dugu Bo led the way.
His speed was extremely fast.
But surprisingly, Zhang Fan managed to keep up.
Very soon,
the two of them entered the forest, crossing mountains and rivers, and arrived in front of Dugu Bo's medicine garden.
A thick fragrance of herbs filled the air — there were indeed countless herbs inside.
"Can you make me an antidote?"Dugu Bo pointed at the herbs curiously.
"By the way, don't go into the hot spring nearby. It's extremely dangerous. Even I can't stay inside for long!"Dugu Bo warned Zhang Fan very seriously.
"Oh, sure, I'll give it a shot."
Zhang Fan shrugged, glancing at Dugu Bo,thinking to himself, Make antidote? Pffft.I'll just tell you how to detoxify yourself later.The real plan? Use this chance to clean out the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and those immortal herbs!
Thinking of this, he immediately started preparing for action.
"Alright, I'll give you three days. I'm leaving now."
Knowing how dangerous the surroundings were, Dugu Bo figured the kid might not even be able to leave alive.He left feeling completely at ease.
The moment Zhang Fan sensed that Dugu Bo was far enough away, he rushed straight to the fiery side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.The calm surface of the spring didn't seem to emit any heat.
However,
he could sense that the temperature of the red liquid was comparable to magma.If he accidentally touched it, he might get melted.
Zhang Fan felt a surge of excitement — this place was littered with treasures, and Dugu Bo didn't even know it.
What an idiot.Completely blind.
Sweeping the area with his divine sense, he instantly scanned all the plants around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.He picked up the Snow Silkworm, the Vermillion Blood Lotus.
Then,
he saw a large, pale pink flower with petals like crystal, growing where the red and white springs met.A faint fragrance drifted over — this was the Fragrant Delicate Immortal Product, a rare heavenly treasure.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Fan stored it into his inventory.
Next, he collected the Nine-Grade Dragon Beard Grass.
Then in the center of the blue spring, he spotted a large white flower shaped like an eight-pointed star, its core glittering like ice crystals — the Eight-Petal Ice Crystal Grass, a rare cold-element treasure.
He also collected the Flaming Apricot Cactus.
Afterward, he directly ate the two immortal herbs, feeling the dual baptism of ice and fire coursing through his body.
(⊥Note: Latest chapters first posted on Six Nine Book Bar!⊥)
He activated his Nine Yang Divine Art to absorb the medicinal power faster and protect his meridians from the violent energy.Finally, he jumped right into the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Buzz..."
All the energy around converged toward his body.
Very quickly, his level shot up from 48 to 50.He could feel his body undergoing unprecedented refinement.
Although the process was a bit painful, it was nothing to him.
Now, as long as he got a new spirit ring, he might shoot up six or seven levels in one go!
When he could no longer absorb any more energy, he flashed back to the shore.
"Whoosh..."
With a wave of his hand, he harvested every last herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After that,
he left a note for Dugu Bo, telling him that curing the poison was simple — just transfer the toxins into a spirit bone.Of course, it would be best if he had an external spirit bone.
Then, without a second glance, he pulled out a mushroom sausage and ate it."Whoosh..." He flew off toward the edge of Sunset Forest.
After flying a while, he ate another sausage.
Soon, he left the dangerous area.
Landing back on solid ground, "whoosh...", he sprinted toward Blue Tyrant Academy.
Zhang Fan chuckled evilly to himself.When Dugu Bo sees that note, he probably won't go crazy, right?Oh well, that's the best method to save him anyway.
And besides, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well didn't belong to Dugu Bo.If he couldn't recognize good stuff when he saw it, then it was only natural Zhang Fan would reap all the benefits!
"Whoosh..." He quickly returned to Shrek Academy.
After a good night's sleep,
the next morning,
he found Flender and said,
"Dean, I need to make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Wait, don't tell me... you're level 50 now?!"
Flender froze for a few seconds, unable to believe what he was hearing.
"Hehe... that's right, level 50! So I want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to get a new spirit ring."Zhang Fan shrugged.
"You're going alone? Shouldn't we send someone with you?"
Flender asked, a bit worried.
"No need. I'll be fine on my own. And don't tell the others!"
Zhang Fan shrugged again — of course, he didn't want anyone tagging along.That way he could snag a ten-thousand-year or even a hundred-thousand-year ring and maybe mess with the age settings later.
"Alright then."
Seeing Zhang Fan so determined, Flender could only agree.
"Just be careful!"
"Got it!"
Zhang Fan nodded, then vanished, hopping into a carriage heading toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Once inside the forest, he spotted two people.One of them still retained her mature beauty, wearing an ornate palace dress that exuded nobility, elegance, and grace all at once.
