At Shrek Academy, the atmosphere finally began to calm down. Dugu Yan and her group had left the area a long time ago and showed no signs of returning anytime soon. Because of their departure, Dai Mubai and the other students finally breathed a collective sigh of relief. Dai Mubai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said that it was a good thing. He noted that this time the girls only focused on beating up Tang San and completely ignored the rest of them.
Tang San, however, had been standing in the exact same spot the entire time. It had been a long hours since Dugu Yan and her group left, but Tang San still stood there like a stiff wooden statue. His mind was truly closed off from reality because of the massive shock. His precious Blue Silver Grass spirit was completely ruined.
On top of that, the intricate Hidden Weapons that he was always so proud of were now completely ruined as well. He could not help but wonder what he had left in this world. He felt like he had absolutely nothing. Not only was he unable to beat Su Yan, but he could not even defeat the women who stayed by Su Yan's side.
Yu Xiaogang walked over to him slowly. His face was still terribly swollen from his own previous encounters, but he tried his best to maintain a solemn expression. He looked at his disciple and told Tang San that he must stay strong. He urged him not to let those people destroy his belief in becoming a true powerhouse.
He explained that the strange weapons Dugu Yan used just now were merely some cheap tricks. He firmly stated that for them as Spirit Masters, the most important thing is always their own cultivation. He believed that relying on external forces is ultimately a minor path that leads nowhere.
Hearing these words, the expressions of Zhao Wuji and his group of teachers suddenly stiffened. They opened their mouths to argue, but they ultimately held back their words. In their minds, they were completely shocked by Yu Xiaogang's ignorance. They thought about how powerful that weapon actually was and wondered how he could call it a cheap trick.
Dugu Yan simply did not hit him just now. They knew that if she had hit him even once, she would have sent him to meet his ancestors immediately. They could not believe how he dared to say such arrogant things. However, since Yu Xiaogang was busy comforting Tang San right now, the teachers decided it was best not to speak up and ruin the moment.
Zhao Wuji turned his head to look at Oscar and gave him an order. He told Little Ao to get their teacher a Sausage to treat his sore mouth and swollen face. After saying this, Dai Mubai walked up to Tang San and patted his shoulder gently. He told the kid not to think too much about it.
He admitted that while Tang San's weapons were currently not as powerful as Dugu Yan's weapons, there is always someone better in this vast world. Moreover, he mentioned that he observed the fight closely just now. He noticed that the weapons Dugu Yan used seemed to consume a large amount of spirit power. He explained that although they are incredibly powerful, they definitely cannot last long in a real battle.
Tang San felt even more miserable after hearing this comfort. He thought to himself that while the weapon only consumes her spirit power, his own situation was much worse because he was practically consuming his own life just to survive.
Yu Xiaogang took a big bite of Oscar's Sausage and chewed quickly. With a very solemn expression, he told Tang San to trust his teacher. He promised him that his future would definitely be stronger than all of those people. He then told Tang San to come with him because he had something private to tell him.
Tang San looked up at Zhao Wuji and the other teachers with a sad expression, lowered his head in shame, and followed Yu Xiaogang to a quiet side of the yard. He whispered to his teacher that his Hidden Weapons were far inferior to Dugu Yan's weapons, and his proud Blue Silver Grass had also been completely suppressed.
He confessed that right now, not to mention facing Su Yan, he could not even beat Dugu Yan or Ning Rongrong. He admitted that he really felt so desperate about his future. Tang San looked so sad that he felt like crying right at that moment.
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and looked at him with a strict gaze. He asked Tang San if he was actually afraid of these small challenges. He told him that even if his Blue Silver Grass is suppressed by others, it does not matter at all. He reminded him that he still has a second spirit hidden inside him, and that second spirit happens to be the continent's number one Tool Spirit, which is the famous Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang San was suddenly startled by this revelation. His eyes went wide as he repeated the words, asking if he really possessed the number one Tool Spirit under heaven, the Clear Sky Hammer.
Yu Xiaogang flicked his long sleeves with a dramatic motion, turned his back to Tang San, and said in a very deep, mysterious voice that it was correct. He repeated that it was the number one Tool Spirit under heaven, the Clear Sky Hammer, which belongs to the great Clear Sky Sect. Anyone who saw his confident posture without knowing the truth would easily think that he, Yu Xiaogang, was the one who actually possessed the Clear Sky Hammer spirit.
But Tang San found it very struggling to accept this shocking news. He asked his teacher if his father was not just an ordinary, poor blacksmith in their small village. He could not understand why it was suddenly related to the Clear Sky Hammer and the powerful Clear Sky Sect. Tang San actually knew about the Clear Sky Sect from his studies. He knew that the Seven Great Sects were clearly divided into the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects.
Among them, the Upper Three Sects were the famous Clear Sky Sect, the wealthy Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the fierce Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Each of these supreme organizations had at least one powerful Titled Douluo protecting them. And the Clear Sky Sect was well known as the strongest one, ranked first among the Seven Great Sects, making it the absolute number one sect on the entire Douluo Continent.
Yu Xiaogang turned around slowly to face him again and said with a very stern expression that he was telling him this secret today so that he would know not to be easily defeated by the small difficulties in front of him. He assured him that his true background and his ultimate potential are far beyond his wildest imagination.
As for other private matters, he explained that until his father chooses to speak up, he cannot tell him anything more for now. In any case, he commanded Tang San to remember that he is a rare genius with twin spirits and innate full spirit power. He then asked Tang San if he knew who the only other person with such a gift was.
Tang San looked completely puzzled and asked who that person was.
Yu Xiaogang lowered his voice to a whisper and told him that it was the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong.
At that exact moment, in the era of Douluo 2 within Shrek City, a sudden sound broke the peace. Bibi Dong let out a loud sneeze while walking down the busy street. She was currently shopping on the street with a large group of people, including Su Yan, the wealthy Ning Rongrong, and the fiery Ma Xiaotao. Bibi Dong rubbed her nose and muttered speechlessly that it must be that little bastard orphan secretly cursing her behind her back. She then turned her head to look at Su Yan and asked when they were finally going back to their own time.
Su Yan looked at Bibi Dong's annoyed face and felt completely speechless in his heart. He knew that if she went back right now, she would definitely regret it instantly. He answered her smoothly, stating that tomorrow they will head directly to the Sun Moon Empire. He explained that once she finalizes the important matters regarding the spirit tools there, they can easily go back at any time they want.
Hearing this, a young girl named Xiao Xiao looked up at Su Yan with a sad expression, showing that she was very reluctant to part with him so soon. She asked Brother Su Yan why he was planning to leave their side so quickly.
Su Yan reached out his hand and patted Xiao Xiao's head gently. He showed a warm smile as he replied to her, asking if she forgot that she has a teleportation reward now. He reminded her that she can easily come find him whenever she misses him in the future. He added that there will be even more rewards coming later, and if he ever misses her, he will definitely come to find her too.
Xiao Xiao thought about this wonderful ability for a moment and her mood instantly improved. She said that after she finishes the intense Freshman Competition at the academy, she will definitely go find Brother Su Yan. She declared that she must use her growth to fiercely slap that mean old teacher Zhou Yi right in the face.
Wang Dong was walking right behind them and felt completely speechless by her words. He muttered to himself about how damn Xiao Xiao was always thinking about running away from the academy all day long.
At this time, Tang Ya suddenly spoke up to interrupt them. She looked at Su Yan and said that if they are truly going to the Sun Moon Empire tomorrow, she needs to go arrange the things in her hands right now. She explained that his special child of destiny disciple is still missing his planned grilled fish stall, and she had already found a skilled blacksmith to make it for him.
Bibi Dong was completely stunned for a moment when she heard this. She blinked her eyes in confusion and asked if the legendary child of destiny had actually become her own disciple's disciple.
Ma Xiaotao had a very strange expression on her face as she joined the conversation. She joked about the situation, asking if this interesting relationship counted as a special buy-one-get-one-free deal for their group.
When evening arrived, a small group gathered at the main gate of Shrek Academy. Tang Ya brought Beibei and the young Huo Yuhao out of the gates together. She turned to look at the older boy and instructed him, saying that she called him out today because there was actually something very important that she wanted to tell him face to face.
Beibei nodded his head slightly and said with a helpless smile that he had felt she was acting very strange these past few days. He asked her directly if something bad had happened to her.
Tang Ya shook her head slightly to reassure him. She told him that nothing bad happened, but she just wanted to say thank you for his kind companionship over these past years. She looked at him and said she knew he was a genuinely good person, which made him completely unlike his old ancestor Mu En.
Beibei was a bit confused by her sudden emotional words. He wondered how he had suddenly gotten issued a good person card out of nowhere.
The young Huo Yuhao also looked up at Tang Ya with a deeply puzzled face. He shouted out to her, asking what it was that Teacher Tang Ya actually wanted to say to them tonight.
Beibei looked at her serious face and suddenly realized something. He asked her if she was planning on going back to her old home alone to handle the sect's business.
Tang Ya let out a soft sigh and shook her head. She confessed that she was far too persistent about the old ways before this. She explained that the true prosperity of the Tang Sect actually has nothing to do with avoiding spirit tools, because their old weapons were just a natural elimination of the changing times. She said that now she finally understands it all clearly. She proudly shared that she has found a new teacher, a very powerful teacher indeed. She announced that next, she is going to follow her new teacher to focus entirely on her cultivation.
Beibei was even more shocked upon hearing this sudden announcement. He raised his voice and asked her if she really found a new teacher out of nowhere. He looked at her worriedly and asked if she had been cruelly deceived by some smooth-talking liar on the streets.
Tang Ya let out a cheerful laugh at his worry. She told him that her new teacher is even more powerful than his famous Old Ancestor Mu En. She asked him with a smile what she could possibly have that would be worth such a supreme powerhouse deceiving her for. She then turned her attention to the younger boy and told Little Yuhao that she had prepared a temporary way for him to make a good living in the city, and it was just the right time to take him to meet his grandmaster.
Huo Yuhao stood there with multiple question marks floating in his mind, completely confused by the terms.
Tang Ya smiled and told them that they were almost there. She pointed her finger into the distance and told them to look over there, pointing out that her teacher and the others were right in front of them.
Beibei and Huo Yuhao followed the direction of her finger and looked across the street. A small group of people were currently gathered in a happy circle right in front of a simple grilled fish stall. The people standing there were none other than Su Yan, the majestic Bibi Dong, the beautiful Jiang Nannan, and the striking Ma Xiaotao.
Beibei and Huo Yuhao looked carefully in that direction, and their eyes almost popped out of their heads on the spot. They were completely stunned by the sight. In their minds, they could only scream in pure shock about how that legendary man was actually standing right there in front of them.
