After more than ten minutes.
These Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples were squeezed dry, not a drop left.
They all passed out.
Tang San also recovered slightly.
But feeling the chaos within his body, his pale face became even whiter.
"Big brother, I'm feeling better, don't waste your soul power."
Tang Lan, however, didn't move, continuing to infuse him with Nine Yang Divine Skill inner energy.
He said with concern, "Little San, don't push yourself. Big brother has plenty of soul power, just focus on receiving it."
Tang San immediately panicked!
He had activated the Reverse Undying Seal Technique, which was already pushing his potential to its limits.
If Tang Lan infused any more of that Nine Yang Divine Skill's internal energy, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill's internal energy would be useless. He might as well just switch to cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill!
He immediately reached out and pushed Tang Lan away.
"I'm fine, brother. Save some soul power to deal with what comes next."
Tang Lan then reluctantly stopped.
[Host caused Tang San's cultivation to regress, seizing a minuscule amount of Tang San's luck!]
[Reward: "All Soul Bone Years +300"!]
Tang Lan had three soul bones, which meant he'd freeloaded for 900 years.
He sensed his double pupils again, and the years increased to 2891.
An increase of 771 years! The increase in soul bone years naturally increased the enhancement to his physique.
The years of his three soul rings also increased, by 121 years.
Tang Lan almost couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth! —Damn, even a Barrett wasn't this hard to contain! Afraid Tang San would see something amiss, he quickly changed the subject—
"Little San, weren't you here to get something? Why are you fighting?"
Tang San's expression was unsightly as he glared fiercely at the bound person.
"I just got close, and they drove me away."
"I revealed my identity, but they said they couldn't move the supplies without the Sixth Elder's orders."
"I understood, so I waited for you to come."
"But then they started saying that as disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, being sent to study at our Tang Sect was like being exiled! They felt underappreciated!"
"They also disparaged our Tang Sect, which I couldn't tolerate."
"I just suggested a friendly spar to show them the strength of the Tang Sect, to shut them up."
"I didn't expect them to be so dishonorable. When they couldn't win, they sent out higher-ranked opponents!"
"In the end, they ganged up on me. Three Soul Ancestors with four rings surrounded me. I injured them with hidden weapons, and then they all swarmed me, trying to cripple me!"
"I was in a hurry when I came out, and I didn't bring many hidden weapons. I could only use unstable explosives against them."
"And then, brother, you arrived."
Good heavens!
Tang Lan exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
So, arrogance and overbearing behavior weren't just Ning Rongrong's thing, but a tradition of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Well, it's a good thing.
If Tang San hadn't caused this today, allowing these people to get their hands on the Barrett and Vulcan Cannon…
Who knows when they might have been shot in the back?
No!
The Barrett, a weapon for super-long-range sniping, couldn't be traded around so casually!
Tang Lan dispelled his Blue Silver Emperor, releasing the person who had been drained.
He directly faced Chi Feng and Ning Rongrong, who had rushed over.
He spoke in a loud voice—
"Little San, in the future, those who want to buy Barretts must pass a Tang Sect assessment. Only those who pose no threat to us will be allowed to purchase them."
"Armor-piercing sniper rounds must also be registered with real names. We need to know about every single one of them!"
"Otherwise, if those people get their hands on them…"
"I won't be able to sleep at night!"
After those words,
Ning Rongrong's face turned red, and Chi Feng was filled with rage!
"No problem!" Tang San said in a deliberately loud voice, "I will, carefully! Carefully! Review!"
He was just short of saying he'd make things difficult for them.
It was just…
Ning Rongrong and Chi Feng couldn't even argue.
This time, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had acted dishonorably, and they hadn't even gained any advantage!
A group of people, several of whom were Soul Kings with five rings, couldn't take down a Soul Grand Master with two rings?
Embarrassing!
Too embarrassing!
At the same time, they gained a deeper understanding of the Tang Sect, this small sect—no wonder Sect Master Ning had repeatedly stressed its importance before they set out.
But he had still been negligent!
Years of holding the position among the top three sects had made their disciples too arrogant.
This was a big problem! But the current key was,
It was still necessary to calm the Tang Sect's anger and prevent the partnership from collapsing.
Chi Feng suppressed his temper and put on a smile.
"Sect Master Tang, the fault lies with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect today."
"This batch of disciples will be returned in full, and a new batch of well-behaved individuals will be strictly selected to come."
"In addition, Tang San, young friend..."
"This is my Tang Sect's Deputy Sect Master." Tang Lan interrupted coldly: "If you can't get Xiao Sanzi's forgiveness, then go back and tell your elder brother that our Tang Sect is a small temple and cannot accommodate such a big Buddha from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Chi Feng's eyebrows jumped!
He had to grit his teeth and bleed!
"Deputy Sect Master Tang has suffered such grievances, I will have these disciples apologize one by one and kneel outside Shrek Academy for three days and three nights, as a warning to others!"
"We will also seek out ten-thousand-year-old herbs to heal Vice Sect Master Tang's injuries!"
"The Tang Sect focuses on soul tools and will definitely need precious minerals. We will provide three times the amount listed on Sect Master Tang's previous list!"
"I wonder, Vice Sect Master Tang, do you have any other requests?"
The anger in Tang San's eyes gradually subsided.
It wasn't that he was easy to talk to; they were just offering too much!
Forget about the ten-thousand-year-old herbs for now.
That mineral list was personally compiled by Tang San.
The quantities were large, and the quality was high, making them extremely valuable!
And they were offering three times the amount right off the bat?
Who could resist that?
From Chi Feng's words, it seemed he could make further demands?
What do you want?
The ore materials are sufficient for now. Should we focus on leveling up?
Still hesitating...
Tang Lan spoke first, "How about we build another forging workshop outside Shrek Academy?"
"It should be at least bigger than the one in Soto City."
"Your living conditions in the dorms are basic, which is always restricting."
Tang San thought this was a good idea.
With his own forging workshop, he wouldn't have to worry about disturbing others by forging late at night.
"Alright! I'll listen to you, bro!" Tang San nodded.
Tang Lan breathed a sigh of relief – he almost let you get a new opportunity.
As for this forging workshop?
It's not yours, Tang San, but the Tang Sect's.
[Host has caused Tang San to lose the conditions promised by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, seizing a small amount of Tang San's fortune!]
[Reward:
His left eye heated up.
The age of his double pupils leaped to 5000+!
The spirit bone skill copy added a "skill slot" and also included self-created spirit skills in the copy range.
It was equivalent to having two spirit bone skills.
——As expected of an external spirit bone, it's a cheat!
Beside them, Chi Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"No problem!"
"We'll definitely get it built for you in the shortest time possible!"
"I'll send someone to Xingeng City to directly recruit experienced blacksmiths. We certainly won't bother Vice Sect Master Tang!"
He was being incredibly generous with his wealth.
Tang San nodded, wanting to say something… But Tang Lan pressed down on his shoulder.
"Just rest for the next couple of days. The ore is with me; I'll give it to you when you've recovered."
Tang San was a little resistant.
That was the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus!
The Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, ranked number one on the hidden weapon ranking!
He was full of energy and didn't need to rest! However,
Tang Lan's attitude was very firm, rarely showing the authority of an elder.
—Absolutely not going to let go of any chance for you to "slack off".
"Alright." Tang San compromised, "Then I'll rest tonight and find you tomorrow."
"No!" Tang Lan refused, "Don't forge iron these two days. I've been level 40 for a while now, let's go hunt for a soul ring with me."
Tang San hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"I'll listen to you, brother."
Tang Lan finally smiled, telling Tang San to go rest.
— This time, Tang San absolutely has to go. After all, the Eight Spider Lances, this external spirit bone, regardless of the cause and effect, or the cheat given by the heavens above…
It all depends on Tang San showing his face to have the chance of it dropping.
Turning around, Chi Feng was lecturing the disciples who were still awake, telling them to apologize to Tang San tomorrow and then go and kneel in penance.
"Rongrong, I'll leave this matter to you."
"I need to fly back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as soon as possible to mobilize resources."
After giving his instructions, Chi Feng nodded to Tang Lan, activated his first spirit skill, and flew away with wings.
After he flew far away.
Tang Lan slowly took out his communication soul tool.
Currently, there were only two communication soul tools on the continent. One was with him, and the other was with Chen Xin.
He dialed the number.
"Beep—beep—beep—"
The signal was good; the tool wasn't stored in a storage soul tool.
After a few seconds, the call was answered.
"Is that Lan-di?" Ning Fengzhi's voice came from the other end.
It must be Chen Xin's gift.
Tang Lan was about to speak.
Ning Rongrong suddenly came over.
"Sect Master, should I say it?"
Tang Lan was also too lazy to speak, so he handed it over to Ning Rongrong.
He turned and left.
He came to Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, rubbed two spirit light balls, and pushed them out.
"You performed well today. This is a reward."
Dai Mubai shook his head first.
"Compared to Deputy Sect Master Tang, I didn't help much. I can't accept rewards without merit."
Tang San was besieged by dozens of Soul Masters, including several with five rings, Soul Kings! Yet, he could still hold out for several minutes and even fight back.
The three Soul Elders he was holding off were nothing in comparison.
To be honest… he was still Tang Lan's younger brother. Even at his worst, he was better than him – after all, he had a whole arsenal of self-created soul skills and soul tools, thanks to Tang Lan, his brother, arming him to the teeth.
Zhu Zhuqing saw that Dai Mubai didn't want it and was about to refuse as well.
Tang Lan, holding a mental light sphere, slapped it onto her forehead, just above her chest.
"Don't be so polite with me."
As for Dai Mubai… He didn't want it, so could Tang Lan force him?
With a thought, the mental light sphere shattered.
Tang Lan yawned and activated his flight soul bone skill, flying towards the dorm.
Zhu Zhuqing woke up at that moment, her eyes filled with shock!
The True Martial Seven截 Array, with its seven members combined, amplified their power by a staggering sixty-four times?
It was ridiculous!
She then looked at Dai Mubai, whose expression was complex.
She remembered Tang Lan's palm strike earlier, which was overbearing but different towards her.
Dai Mubai said no, and Tang Lan really didn't give it.
She hadn't even said anything, yet he just shoved it at her!
Didn't this mean that,
Zhu Zhuqing was different in Tang Lan's heart?
This caused Zhu Zhuqing's lips to curl into a smile, and she flashed away.
Leaving Dai Mubai standing there alone, unable to calm his mood for a long time.
— He was like a dog on the side of the road, who had to bark a few times, and then got kicked.
The sect master gave it, so just accept it.
Why did he have to run his mouth!
Back in the dorm.
Tang Lan couldn't wait to summon his external spirit bone, the Heavy Pupils.
Feeling the 5891-year lifespan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Today was a good day!
Then, what skills should he put in his skill slots?
The first one was naturally the top choice, Life Burial – fast burst, high power, can restrict, and also has life-stealing.
No second choice.
The second one...
Since he could copy and store self-created soul skills, Tang Lan considered it and stored Dragon-Catching Hand.
Lofty Waves Tread is a movement technique.
The Reverse Undying Seal Technique could also be considered a passive skill.
The True Martial Seven截 Array can't be used by a single person.
Compared to the soul skills Blue Silver Emperor Thorn and Blue Silver Emperor Explode.
The Dragon-Catching Hand, in specific situations, could have unexpected effects.
—As a technique to grab objects from a distance, it requires accumulating inner strength in advance to be released.
In short, it has a "charging CD."
Now that it can be used instantly, its practicality has increased greatly.
The next day.
Tang San didn't know how Ning Rongrong had spoken to Ning Fengzhi.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples, who had been so arrogant the night before, were lined up in front of the dormitories early in the morning.
As soon as Tang San appeared,
they all knelt down in unison, shouting, "We offended Deputy Sect Master Tang! The sinners are here to apologize!"
Bang, bang, bang—three loud kowtows.
Their attitude was incredibly sincere.
The commotion here also woke up the others.
The dorm doors opened one after another.
Zhu Zhuqing and the other Tang Sect disciples, seeing the spectacular scene, were all filled with pride.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, huh! Aren't they still going to apologize to our Tang Sect?
Only Ma Hongjun looked displeased.
It was like this:
No one wants their ex to be doing better than them.
—Especially if it was someone you loved but couldn't have!
Now seeing the Tang Sect's power...
He was probably the only one in the whole school who couldn't feel any joy.
But Ma Hongjun still had some sense about him.
He didn't show any emotion, and unusually, he increased his training.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Little did he know... These actions of his were all seen by Tang Lan—he usually kept his Blue Silver Domain open on a small scale, so nothing around him could escape his notice.
In his heart, Tang Lan labeled Ma Hongjun as someone with a small vision.
Someone like this,
It would be fine if he followed the right leader; if someone could keep him in check, it would be good enough for him to just bury his head in work.
Otherwise, it's hard to achieve great things!
After the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple apologized and received Tang San's forgiveness,
he went back to the academy entrance, crestfallen, and continued kneeling.
Ning Rongrong walked forward, smiling, and handed over a wooden box.
"Tang San, this was delivered last night. It's a ten-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng, which can replenish vitality and strengthen your foundation."
"The fire attribute is also the most compatible with the Nine Yang Divine Skill and can greatly enhance your level."
"The other minerals will arrive with the blacksmith in a few days."
Tang San held the wooden box and looked at the ten-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng steaming inside.
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
His expression was very complicated.
Tang Lan almost burst out laughing at the sight.
It had to be said,
Ning Fengzhi had put his heart into this, specifically finding a ten-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng that was compatible with the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
But
he hadn't anticipated that Tang San hadn't learned the Nine Yang Divine Skill at all!
Moreover,
the Mysterious Heaven Skill even clashed with the Nine Yang Divine Skill, making it impossible to cultivate both simultaneously.
This ten-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng,
wasn't just unhelpful to the balanced and moderate Mysterious Heaven Skill, but was actually poisonous!
This thing...
It's useless for him to have!
But in this situation, could he tell the truth?
—Up until now, he hadn't dared to tell Tang Lan that he hadn't cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
After all, once he admitted it, the Mysterious Heaven Skill would be exposed.
Then, should he teach it or not?
"Very good herbs, I'll take them," Tang San replied perfunctorily.
He put the wooden box into his storage ring.
Then he headed towards the cafeteria.
