Chapter 21 - Gangzi ran away

Chapter 21: Yu Xiaogang Has Run AwayA day and a half passed.At the gates of Nuoding City."Finally, I'm back!"Upon stepping off the carriage, Tang San couldn't help but exclaim. So many things had happened over these past few days that even Tang San felt mentally exhausted.As the two entered the city, their father-son appearance immediately caught the attention of the surrounding citizens; their looks and bearing were like that of a noble lord out for a stroll."Go back to the dormitory and get some rest. I will go and settle your mother in first.""Then I'll leave it to you, Father. I'll entrust Mother to your care!"After entering Notting Academy, Tang San bade farewell to Tang Chuan and dragged his weary body slowly toward Dorm Seven.Meanwhile, Tang Chuan took Ah Yin and prepared to return to his own residence.Now that it had been infused with that life force, Ah Yin's original body was flourishing more and more, but Tang Chuan could sense that it was still far from the time for her consciousness to awaken.There was only one way to accelerate her growth: plant her in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. A tenfold growth speed was no joke."Take it one step at a time. A year from now, I'll take Little San to the Sunset Forest to take a look."After placing Ah Yin in the spot with the most sunlight in the room, Tang Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed and opened his system panel.[spirit power Level: 74 (Three levels can be manually unlocked)][Slaughter God Domain (can be manually unlocked)]Without hesitation, Tang Chuan shifted his consciousness, and the dense spirit power within his body began to surge, causing his Mysterious Heaven Skill to start circulating.Blue-gold spirit power flowed continuously around his body, and his spirit power level began to break through.Level 75.Level 76.Level 77!Boom!The dense Blue Silver Grass spirit power dispersed. Under the protection of the Forest of Myriad Manifestations, nothing was disturbed. Tang Chuan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of blue-gold light passing through them.For an ordinary Spirit Master, cultivating three levels at this stage would take years, or they might even be stuck here for a lifetime, but Tang Chuan had no such limitations.Afterward, he unhesitatingly claimed the Slaughter God Domain.When the Domain expanded, Tang Chuan was enveloped in a pale cyan-white cold mist. There was no violent blood-red light; instead, a bone-chilling cold radiated from within to the outside.His eyes turned red, and wisps of frost spread along with his killing intent. The surrounding air condensed into ice crystals, and the black mist-like aura of slaughter, devoid of any emotion, surged straight out in all directions.Because this aura of slaughter was extremely terrifying, Tang Chuan withdrew it. Unlike in the original story where Tang San's mind was affected, this version of the Slaughter God Domain Tang Chuan possessed had been purified, so naturally, that situation would not occur.At this moment, Tang Chuan opened his system panel again, and to his surprise, two new entries had appeared.[Exclusive Divine Artifacts: Sea God Trident (80% unlocked), Asura Demon Sword (10% unlocked)]He hadn't expected that even a fork and a knife would show up. It looked like Tang Chuan could stand at the gate of Shrek Academy in the future, holding the Sea God Trident, and shout, "Sea God Tang Chuan is here! Where is Yu Xiaogang?"If you travel to the Douluo Continent and don't bully the flat-top, what's the point of traveling at all?Mentioning Yu Xiaogang, Tang Chuan suddenly remembered that this guy didn't seem to be lurking at the academy gate. Could he have really turned over a new leaf?Thinking of this, Tang Chuan got up, prepared to go see what this old guy was up to."Bang!"He kicked open the door to Yu Xiaogang's residence, and a cloud of dust instantly rushed into Tang Chuan's face.He activated the Forest of Myriad Manifestations, and fresh air swept away the dust. Tang Chuan walked inside and discovered that no one had lived here for several days.The bed was empty, and even the bookshelf where books were kept was bare.A sheet of snow-white paper was placed in the center of the table, and Tang Chuan picked it up to read it."Seeing these words is like seeing me. I, the Grandmaster, already anticipated that you, Tang Chuan, would come here. By the time you see this letter, I will have already found a more excellent disciple. I am waiting for the day I trample you underfoot. Remember this: 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully me, Yu Xiaogang, for being poor!'""Pfft!"Tang Chuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Without Tang San, where else could Yu Xiaogang go?You could figure it out with your feet: it was definitely Shrek Academy. Dai Mubai shouldn't have joined Shrek yet, so...Was Dai Mubai going to absorb a Datura Snake or a ten-year bamboo?You have to know that while Flender was the nominal dean of Shrek Academy, after Yu Xiaogang arrived, he followed his lead in everything.Whatever Yu Xiaogang said, Flender did. This wasn't just a simple friendship between brothers; it was straight-up fanboy behavior.Furthermore, there weren't many normal people at Shrek Academy. A grass chicken that insisted it was a phoenix, and a lecherous tiger that spent all day visiting brothels.It seemed the only relatively normal one was Oscar, right?Tang Chuan didn't know for sure, but based on the evaluations from netizens in his past life, this Oscar didn't seem like a very decent person either.Take that part about going to the Star Dou Great Forest, for instance.The grass chicken started trouble, and Oscar just stood on the side, leisurely saying, "Looks like there's a good show to watch."Thinking of this, Tang Chuan shook his head. Shrek Academy was an unlicensed academy; they couldn't even participate in the Spirit Master Tournament.Not to mention Ning Rongrong and Zhuqing. It seemed the most normal one was Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.People said she had "princess syndrome," but she really was a princess. Having been pampered since childhood, it was normal for her to have some of these quirks."Why care so much? What does it have to do with me? Training Tang San well so he can become a god and ancestor in the future is the true path!"He exerted a slight force with his hand, his spirit power surged, and the words left by Yu Xiaogang were instantly reduced to powder."Yu Xiaogang, if you want to play, I'll play along with you!"He didn't have enough strength yet. Let alone fighting a heavily injured Tang Hao, even fighting Dugu Bo might be a bit of a struggle.The Clear Sky Hammer's spirit ring hadn't been unlocked, and the progress for the Spirit Bone wasn't there yet.But the good news was that Tang San was his disciple, so if anything happened, he could still have Tang Hao back him up for now.On the other side, in Dorm Seven.At this moment, Xiao Wu was looking at Tang San, who was asleep on the bed, with a face full of existential doubt.Blue hair, blue eyes, his whole being exuding the fresh scent of Blue Silver Grass—he was practically a miniature version of Teacher Tang Chuan! He hadn't seen him for a few days; why did it feel like Tang San had evolved?"Sister Xiao Wu, is this Tang San?"Wang Sheng carefully approached, but he still kept a certain distance from Xiao Wu."I don't know either. Although he doesn't look like it, my gut tells me it should be Tang San."Seeing this, Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly. If her feeling toward Tang Chuan was a sense of familiarity, then seeing Tang San made her heart beat faster.Even though the two looked similar, the feeling they gave her was completely different."Tang San..."Xiao Wu crouched by Tang San's bed, her small hand involuntarily reaching out to touch Tang San's face.After his Spirit evolution, Tang San's complexion was enough to make any woman jealous. When Xiao Wu's fingers touched it, they sank right in."So soft, so fair and tender."At this moment, Tang San opened his eyes, and the two stared at each other.
