Tang Ya stood at the gates of Shrek Academy, her face frozen in deep embarrassment. The truth was finally sinking in: Blue Silver Grass really was considered a trash spirit. In the chat group, Ma Xiaotao began to laugh at the situation.
Tang Ya asked her sister if she was laughing at her, but Ma Xiaotao explained that she was already at the gate and told them to hurry up. She clarified that she wasn't laughing at Tang Ya, but at the ridiculousness of Yu Xiaogang. The fact that he claimed to have investigated exactly 647 people with Blue Silver Grass spirits was simply hilarious to her.
Others in the group expressed their doubts as well. Hu Liena felt that Yu Xiaogang was likely bragging because there was no logical reason for him to research so many common spirits. Zhu Zhuqing, the Cat in the Shadows, pointed out that it was obvious bragging.
She suspected he had simply seen the data in Spirit Hall, because if he had done the work himself, he wouldn't have known such a specific number. Her sister, the Big Cat in the Shadow, imagined the impossible amount of effort it would take for one person to find and record all that information alone.
Su Yan joined in, stating clearly that Yu Xiaogang was trash and his words were nonsense. He explained that later on, it was actually Dugu Bo who noticed Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer and realized his Blue Silver Grass was not ordinary.
Dugu Bo was the one who told Tang San the real rule for twin spirits: they only appear when both spirits have equal quality. Su Yan found it crazy that Tang San, knowing he had twin spirits, still let Yu Xiaogang talk him into a build focused on control and poison.
Su Yan argued that a normal person would have used the Blue Silver Grass for a support build. They could focus on healing, recovery, buffs, and resistance. A spirit master could heal themselves, regain spirit power, and boost their strength before swapping to the Clear Sky Hammer to smash their enemies.
That kind of strategy would be heaven-defying. Instead, Yu Xiaogang's plan basically ruined the potential of the Blue Silver Emperor spirit. Su Yan noted that some people just cannot see outside their own narrow views, similar to the spirit ability Bibi Dong created.
Bibi Dong took offense, asking if he thought her perfect clone skill wasn't awesome enough. Su Yan teased her, saying he had an even stronger clone skill that he hadn't shown yet. Tang Yuehua felt it was a shame to waste such a powerful spirit like the Blue Silver Emperor, and Tang Ya admitted she was green with envy.
Outside the Shrek Academy gates, Ma Xiaotao spotted the group and called out to Tang Ya. Tang Ya ran over joyfully and threw herself into Ma Xiaotao's arms, bursting into loud sobs. Ma Xiaotao felt awkward and asked why she was crying. Tang Ya couldn't stop her tears. In her current world, Ma Xiaotao was the only person she felt she could fully trust. Beibei stepped forward to introduce the newcomer. He told Huo Yuhao that Ma Xiaotao was an inner-court disciple and a Spirit Emperor-level expert.
Huo Yuhao was completely shocked. To a young spirit master like him, a Spirit Emperor was a terrifyingly powerful person. Tang Ya wiped her eyes and told him that if he dropped Ma Xiaotao's name inside the academy, no one would dare to bully him. She told him to hurry up and greet her. Overwhelmed, Huo Yuhao stammered out a greeting to Sister Xiao Tao.
Ma Xiaotao shared a picture of Huo Yuhao with the group, joking that she hadn't disgraced them and had recruited a god as her little brother. Liu Erlong joked that Ma Xiaotao had really made it, while Bibi Dong asked if this boy was the child of destiny.
Bo Saixi noticed that the boy seemed introverted and lacked confidence. Su Yan agreed, suggesting they should pair him with a tough-guy roommate to build his masculinity, as he looked too timid to resist the future manipulations of God King Tang.
At Shrek Academy, Wang Dong watched the group from a distance, feeling conflicted. She wondered if Ma Xiaotao could handle things, or if she would have to ask Su Yan to fix the arrangements. Ma Xiaotao, meanwhile, was speechless because she didn't even know what a tough guy was supposed to be. She patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and told him she had his back. She suggested they go register him as a new student.
Huo Yuhao's eyes misted over with gratitude. He couldn't believe his insane luck. He had found a million-year spirit ring, met the mysterious Electrolux, and was now entering the best academy with a Spirit Emperor protecting him. He figured his mother must be watching over him from heaven. Wang Dong saw them enter and walked away, thinking the child of destiny looked quite ordinary. She decided it was more fun to keep reading the gossip in the chat group.
Winter Cutie asked if they were still talking about Tang San, and Su Yan replied that he would always serve up the best gossip for her. Bibi Dong joked that Su Yan was probably just lusting after her, which led to a small argument in the chat. Liu Erlong suggested that Winter Cutie should post a photo so they could see if she was actually cute, but she refused.
Inside his carriage, Su Yan was excited. He knew that once Wang Dong'er learned the truth about Tang San, her reaction would be priceless. He began to explain the next part of the story: the hunt for the ten-year spirit ring. He told the group how Yu Xiaogang took Tang San to the Soul-Hunting Forest and picked out a ten-year-old Lone Bamboo. Ning Rongrong asked if this was the time their hunt ended in disaster.
Su Yan confirmed that they ran into a four-hundred-year-old Datura Snake. Yu Xiaogang's spirit, Luo San Pao, let off a fart and then the battle was over, leaving them hanging by a thread. Tang San only survived because he was a transmigrator with secret techniques; anyone else would have been eaten. Su Yan pointed out how disgusting it was that Yu Xiaogang had no power but still dared to take a student hunting alone.
Dugu Yan and Ma Xiaotao agreed that he was trash and shouldn't even be a teacher. Tang Ya asked Ma Xiaotao to stop, as the insults were starting to hurt. Another group member joked that Ma Xiaotao had forgotten about their own elder, the Chicken Leg Douluo.
Ma Xiaotao was stunned. She realized that by roasting Yu Xiaogang, she had accidentally insulted her own school and elders. Su Yan then dropped the biggest piece of news: after Tang San killed the snake and showed his secret weapons, he actually thought about murdering Yu Xiaogang to keep his secrets safe. The group was left in shock at the idea of a student wanting to kill his own teacher.
