"Teacher, I..." Looking at Yu Xiaogang's stiff, lightly made-up old face, a deep sense of self-reproach welled up in Tang San's eyes.
Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San's troubled mind, smiled, shook his head, and giggled, "This is not your fault. If you hadn't removed that eggshell for me in time, I'm afraid I would have lost my life. You saved my life, so I should be the one thanking you. Besides..."
Yu Xiaogang turned his head away, covered his old face, pondered for a moment, and murmured in a low voice, "And since then, I've found that my heart doesn't feel as suppressed as before. Some things I couldn't let go of seem to have been resolved."
"Teacher, have you suspected who tried to harm you this past year?" Mentioning the culprit, a flash of killing intent crossed Tang San's downcast eyes. Shoving that thing into his lower regions was no different from taking a person's life.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang shook his head bitterly. His expression suddenly turned serious, and he spoke solemnly, "Being able to silently send an egg into a human body without causing any injury to the surface, not even a Titled Douluo could do that. Unless someone mastered a specific space-type Spirit Ability that can exchange external objects with human organs. But I have never heard of such a thing. If I had to say who could do this, I'm afraid there is only one place where such a person could exist?"
"Which place?" Tang San's eyes lit up, and a flash of undisguised anger flickered in his downcast eyes.
"Spirit Hall." Yu Xiaogang bit his red lips with his yellow teeth and said, word by word.
"Spirit Hall, it's Spirit Hall again." Tang San lowered his head, his bangs hanging down, his eyes covered by shadows. His body trembled incessantly, and his fists, clenched at some unknown point, creaked at the joints.
Tang San was eleven years old this year. Although he didn't know about the various grievances between his father, Tang Ritian, and Spirit Hall, over the past five years, Yu Xiaogang had intentionally or unintentionally instilled negative information about Spirit Hall into him—such as using money from the two Empires to buy people's hearts, restricting Spirit Masters from entering the Hunting Forest at will, bullying others, and so on.
Now, Spirit Hall had even swapped his teacher's egg, nearly costing the latter his life. How could Tang San, who was always "intolerant of evil," endure this?
"Little San, calm down. Now is not the time for you to have a direct confrontation with Spirit Hall." Seeing Tang San's reaction to Spirit Hall, a trace of smugness flowed through Yu Xiaogang's heart. He immediately pressed down on his shoulder and advised him.
Tang San nodded gently and said, "Teacher, I understand. I am still too weak now, but one day, I will avenge you. An evil organization like Spirit Hall simply does not need to exist."
Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction and said gratified, "You are an excellent child. I am proud of you. Go rest for a while after you finish your lunch."
"Mm." Tang San restrained the anger in his heart and turned to leave.
Before he had even stepped out of the room, Tang San's body suddenly trembled violently, and he stiffened in place.
Watching Tang San suddenly stop, Yu Xiaogang asked with some confusion, "Little San, is there anything else?"
Hearing this, Tang San took a deep breath, turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, and said, "Teacher, my Blue Silver GrassSpirit's second Spirit Ability seems to have had a situation just now."
"Could it be a spirit ring mutation?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he said urgently, "Quick, release your spirit ring and let me see."
Tang San nodded slowly, a flash of light passing through his eyes. A milky white light radiated from his body, and two spirit rings—one yellow and one green—rose from his feet, circling his body and emitting a brilliant, dazzling light.
"A green spirit ring?" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, suppressing the urgency in his heart regarding this unknown type of spirit ring, and asked Tang San, "Little San, tell me, what has your second Spirit Ability become now? How powerful is this unprecedented green spirit ring?"
Tang San smiled and shook his head, "I can't really say. It seems to still be a control skill, named Tentacle. I will only know its specific power after testing it."
"Mm, I see. Let's go to the playground behind the mountain to test it. We must observe this brand-new spirit ring carefully; it might be a major discovery." Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and, with Tang San, headed urgently toward the playground behind the mountain of Nuoding Academy.
Shortly after, the two arrived at the playground.
"Little San, here will do." Glancing around at the open space, Yu Xiaogang said calmly.
Tang San nodded slightly and raised his right hand. A faint white light appeared on the surface of his skin. Immediately after, deep blue, black-tinged Blue Silver Grass with peculiar patterns surged out from his palm. One yellow and one green, two clear light rings rose from his feet, circling his body up and down.
"Second Spirit Ability — Tentacle."
As Tang San's voice fell, the second green spirit ring suddenly lit up. The tips of the swaying Blue Silver Grass vines expanded at the eighteen-centimeter mark, eventually turning into wrist-thick vine rods. The rod-like Blue Silver Grass automatically searched for a target, and after discovering that Yu Xiaogang was the only living thing around, it lunged violently toward the direction where Yu Xiaogang was.
"Little San, what's wrong with you?" The sudden attack of the Blue Silver Grass made Yu Xiaogang turn pale with horror. He never imagined that his prize Disciple, Tang San, would actually attack him.
"Teacher, run!" Tang San managed to speak with difficulty. The moment he activated his second Spirit Ability, his Spirit, along with his own body, seemed to have triggered some strange mechanism.
At this moment, he was gradually losing his sanity. His pupils turned blood-red, revealing an undisguised, burning heat.
Yu Xiaogang was merely a Spirit Grandmaster who couldn't be any more watered down. How could he resist Tang San's second Spirit Ability? In the end, he didn't even have time to release his Spirit before he was bound by the Blue Silver Grass vines, which then reached his throat.
[Beep, congratulations to the host for obtaining the DouluoWorldTang San's second Spirit Ability 'Parasite', which has been automatically converted into a Dou Technique (PS: only for one person to learn).]
"Damn, swapping a spirit ring with a Ape-Fusion Magic Core, this operation is quite flashy. What will Tang San's second spirit ring become?" Xiao Se wondered in his mind.
[Beep, the Ape-Fusion Magic Core will automatically convert into a spirit ring to replace Tang San's original second spirit ring.]
"Flashy enough. Adding an Ape-Fusion spirit ring to Blue Silver Grass, that's exciting!" Smiling, Xiao Se took the 'Parasite' Dou Technique out of the System warehouse and began to learn it.
Feeling the information suddenly appearing in his mind, Xiao Se couldn't help but be a bit surprised. This 'Parasite' was simply a divine skill for backstabbing people. In Tang San's hands, it might only be used for the parasitism of Blue Silver Grass, but in Xiao Se's hands, it could be used to parasitize Heavenly Flames. When encountering battles, regardless of whether the Heavenly Flame could burn the opponent to death instantly, as long as there was contact, the Heavenly Flame would quietly plant a small seed of fire inside the opponent's body, which Xiao Se could detonate at any time.
