As the Shrek Academy group walked on the road leaving the Star Dou Great Forest,
an invisible Diving Zombie handed him an external Spirit Bone that looked like eight spider legs formed together.
This was precisely the external Spirit Bone, Eight Spider Lances.
Ye Fan judged that the Eight Spider Lances were either inside Meng Yiran or the Man Faced Demon Spider,
and only Meng Yiran could absorb the spirit ring and drop the Spirit Bone.
In the original plot, Tang San, with his protagonist's halo, was able to absorb this two-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider.
Meng Yiran, without the protagonist's halo, would have only one outcome if she tried to absorb it: death.
Only two people present knew the exact age of the Spirit Beast.
One was Xiao Wu, who was very familiar with Spirit Beasts.
The other was Ye Fan, who could know the exact age through his system.
[Plot modification successful. Tang San did not obtain the Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring. Reward: three thousand years of freely assignable age.]
Now Ye Fan had five thousand years of freely assignable age in his hands.
However, now was clearly not a good time to use it.
If he allocated it when he was on the verge of a greater breakthrough, its effect would be even more significant.
Everyone finally walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Once they left the forest, although the fresh air was gone, everyone felt as if a layer of pressure had been lifted, feeling much more relaxed.
"Let's hurry a bit more, and we can rest once we reach the town."
Zhao Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Gai Shi Long She would pursue them and bring unknown trouble upon them.
Dai Mubai said, "If everyone's condition is fine, let's pick up the pace. Once we reach the town, I'll treat everyone to drinks."
"Teacher Zhao, you mustn't decline this time."
Zhao Wuji smiled, "Mubai, I know you're rich. However, I have a very high alcohol tolerance."
Dai Mubai laughed heartily, "Teacher Zhao, haven't you heard that saying? A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
This trip into the Star Dou Great Forest had truly brought considerable gains.
Most importantly, it strengthened the tacit understanding and relationships among everyone.
The entire Shrek Academy only had these seven people. Resolving their conflicts would be greatly beneficial for everyone's future cultivation.
The group rested in the town for a full two days.
The recovery of spirit power and physical strength naturally wouldn't take this long.
However, their minds, which had been under constant tension, needed to relax.
Dai Mubai was extremely generous, covering all the expenses for everyone.
They spent their days drinking and having fun together, enjoying themselves immensely.
Even the usually cold Zhu Zhuqing's expression softened considerably.
Only Ye Fan cultivated constantly, wherever he was.
Especially when sleeping at night,
with Xiao Wu on his left and Ning Rongrong on his right,
accompanied by beauties, his cultivation speed doubled.
If Zhu Zhuqing were also there, his cultivation speed would undoubtedly increase significantly once more.
And on the morning of the second day,
a person appeared at the entrance of Shrek Academy.
He looked at the dilapidated gate of Shrek Academy and shook his head.
"This broken place, that old fellow Flender can really keep at it."
"At this time, Tang San is probably also receiving a lot of attention at Shrek Academy, right?"
This person was Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang was very clear about how outstanding his 'husband' and disciple were.
As for the possibility of Tang San not being admitted to Shrek Academy, he hadn't even considered it.
Innate full spirit power, level twenty-four spirit power at twelve years old, and on the verge of breaking through to level twenty-five—no matter where he was, he was an extremely outstanding existence.
How could they not accept him?
However, Yu Xiaogang would never have imagined that at this moment, Tang San was selling himself at the Yichun Brothel to earn money for his redemption.
His bitter life was worse than that of a beast every day; at least working beasts could eat their fill.
Tang San couldn't even leave the Yichun Brothel; he wasn't allowed to go to Spirit Hall to collect gold coins,
lest he escape, for he was a cash cow.
Tang San had also tried to use force, but in the end, he only received a beating with seven whips.
He didn't even have enough farts left.
Yu Xiaogang walked straight into Shrek Academy.
At this time, the sun had not yet fully risen,
but some villagers had already gotten up early to do farm work.
The weather was cool at this time; it would get hot when the sun fully rose.
Going to bed early was for getting up early to work now.
Furthermore, it was only about four or five o'clock,
and the school's teachers hadn't woken up yet,
but Yu Xiaogang had already started to criticize.
The most important part of the day is the morning.
Shouldn't students get up early to study?
How was Flender teaching?
Thinking of this, he shook his head again in denial.
Then, following his memory, he headed to Flender's dormitory.
Flender, who was sound asleep at the time, heard a banging sound on his door.
Flender sat up abruptly in surprise.
"Who is it!"
"Me!"
Yu Xiaogang shouted.
Flender was also stunned when he heard the voice.
It sounded familiar, but not very familiar,
and it didn't sound like any of the teachers in the academy.
As for students, they weren't even here.
Just as he was about to put on his clothes and open the door,
Yu Xiaogang, who was waiting outside, grew impatient.
He pushed the door open and walked in directly.
And when he saw Flender without a stitch of clothing, he suddenly screamed,
"Ah!"
"Flender, why do you sleep without clothes on!"
With that one sentence, Flender was completely bewildered.
Why wouldn't he wear clothes to sleep?
Isn't that like asking why you don't wear pants when going to the toilet?
Besides, shouldn't *he* be the one screaming?
"Yu Xiaogang!"
"I say, shouldn't you reflect on why you just walked into someone else's room?"
It was like a girl knowing it was a men's restroom and walking in,
then asking the man why he wasn't wearing clothes and accusing him of being a pervert.
This was simply shameless.
Had he become like this after only ten years apart?
Flender quickly put on his clothes.
Yu Xiaogang, however, walked in unceremoniously and sat on the edge of the bed, just watching him.
He had to admit, Flender was a little flustered at this moment.
Putting on clothes in front of someone was fine,
but he was afraid of him staring intently while he put on his clothes!
He increasingly suspected that Yu Xiaogang was a pervert!
In fact, Yu Xiaogang really was, even becoming Tang San's...
Especially making Tang San call him 'Teacher,'
making Tang San an unfilial disciple who betrayed his master.
No need to mention it here.
Flender's movements quickened, and he swiftly finished dressing.
He could say this was the fastest he had ever dressed in his life, without a doubt.
"Xiaogang, what did you come to see me for?"
"We haven't seen each other in ten years."
"If it weren't for something important, with your personality, you probably wouldn't have come to see me in this lifetime."
Flender proactively opened the conversation and asked.
This was also something he was curious about.
Before they parted, they had said they might never see each other again,
yet after only ten years, he suddenly appeared.
Yu Xiaogang didn't answer but instead asked a question in return,
"You don't know?"
