This White Tiger was different from Dai Mubai's White Tiger Spirit; it possessed a certain malevolent aura.
Based on its age, it was at least three hundred thousand years old, and the patterns across its body glowed with a blood-red light.
Dai Mubai's eyes immediately lit up; if he could take it down, his strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
"Ah, Third Brother, be careful."
Xiao Wu suddenly cried out in alarm as a dragon abruptly descended.
Its entire body was covered in dark blue scales, with a pair of yellow wings on its back; its face was hideous and filled with fierce rage.
This was a five hundred thousand-year-old Yinglong, considered a Beast of Ill Omen.
Then, with several booms, a cluster of exceptionally evil Spirit Beasts arrived, each filled with an aura comparable to hell.
Of course, one must mention the Six-Tailed Fox that had set its sights on Ma Hongjun; she was one of only two present who could take human form.
Moreover, her attire was exceptionally gaudy; anything that could be shown was shown, and for anything that couldn't, you could enjoy it as long as you were willing to take her bait.
By now, Tang San understood that this Seven-Pointed Star Array was nothing good; it was manifesting everyone's desires.
Considering their currently immature ages and not yet fully developed minds.
Staying here for long would likely not be a good sign.
"Run!"
Tang San shouted, but no one responded to him.
The other six monsters were all immersed in it. Ma Hongjun, in particular, actually... towards the fox to suppress his evil fire, and Oscar was not to be outdone. As for Ning Rongrong, she could tolerate anything for the sake of revenge... and Dai Mubai was quite domineering in his attempt to take down the White Tiger, though with his strength, he was purely looking for a beating.
And Zhu Zhuqing couldn't match the speed of the butterfly she was facing; she was still too slow now.
Tang San knew he couldn't look after all six at once and could only think of helping them one by one.
His Blue Silver Grass continuously harassed the Yinglong that was launching a fierce offensive against him, and after much effort, he finally managed to reach Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was a hundred thousand-year-old Soft Bones Rabbit; at this moment, she had somehow fallen into a deep sleep and reverted to her beast form, all her external signs of life having been paused.
"Xiao Wu, wake up! Everyone, wake up quickly!"
Tang San's shouts had no effect; instead, they drew a roar from the Yinglong.
With his current spirit power, trying to oppose this Yinglong with its demigod-like stature was nothing short of offering himself up as a meal.
Holding out for ten minutes seemed like an impossible task for the Shrek group, but Tang Hao would not allow such a thing to happen.
"black jar?"
While Tang San was dodging everywhere, he discovered the black jar Tang Hao had used to open the array.
It attracted Tang San like the allure of Pandora's box, so he naturally took the initiative to pick it up.
Suddenly, a muffled voice drifted out from inside the jar, its tone carrying a hint of craftiness.
"Your father is truly unkind to you, pitting you in here and completely disregarding your life. But I want it."
Tang San immediately retorted, "Stop talking nonsense. It's impossible for my father to use me. And who are you?"
"I am the one helping you all. I can transform everything you see into what you desire in your heart."
The black jar offered a massive check that it seemingly could cash; while it spoke, even the Yinglong could only submissively bow its head to the side—a symbol of its power.
Tang San was thinking: could this be his father's friend? But he wasn't friendly at all.
But how long could he think? Ma Hongjun was immersed in beauty, but since ancient times, vixen Spirits could suck away one's essence; he wasn't far from being drained dry.
As for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, they could barely hold on to their lives; death seemed not far away.
Tang San never expected his fate would fall into such a dead end so quickly.
"Agree to my terms. Think of Tang Xiao, think of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, think of your desire for revenge against the Spirit Hall."
The voice from the black jar continued to draw out, long and distant, slowly sucking out the darkness within Tang San's heart.
"If I agree, what will the consequences be?"
Tang San still understood there was no such thing as a free lunch; he had to consider it fully.
"There are no consequences, and I can even help you become a god."
When the black jar said this, an ordinary person might think it was just tricking a child, but Tang San compromised.
Tang San's reasoning for doing so was simple: revenge and becoming stronger.
"Very good, very good!"
The black jar achieved its goal, and a large amount of demonic energy immediately overflowed from it.
Everyone from Shrek received a portion, but Tang San's portion was the largest.
With this demonic energy, everyone's level instantly rose by six, and they were all equipped with several red spirit rings.
They now had a complete chance of reaching level one hundred and becoming God-Rank Douluos; this was all obtained in just a single moment.
Meanwhile, the strength of the White Tiger, Yinglong, and foxes—those ferocious beasts—was instantly weakened a hundredfold, though their age and spirit power remained unchanged.
Thus, Tang San summoned his Clear Sky Hammer and, carrying the power of thunder, charged in to kill; this time, it was as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
Once these ferocious beasts died, they dropped over a dozen top-tier Spirit Bones, a large quantity of immortal grade herbs, and even some special spiritual tools.
The redness in Ma Hongjun's face faded a lot, but his nature didn't change much. Even though the evil fire in his body had been removed, his Spirit hadn't been purified. Furthermore, he held a string of seductive fox tails left behind by that fox, which he considered his best treasure.
Oscar's Sausage Spirit was larger in size than before; at the same time, the deeper his wicked thoughts, the stronger his spirit power became.
Dai Mubai looked triumphantly at his double-headed, red-eyed White Tiger; this was exactly the ultimate power he wanted.
Ning Rongrong's Glazed Tile Pagoda directly evolved into the Nine Treasures, gaining new forms for attack and defense; she felt that with this, she would surely be able to avenge her grievances.
Zhu Zhuqing's speed was already almost indistinguishable from lightning, though she couldn't maintain it for long; still, she was very satisfied.
Tang San supported the newly awakened Xiao Wu and said happily, "We're safe now."
"Third Brother, what's that in your pocket?" Xiao Wu suddenly saw a cloud of black energy.
Without a word, Tang San pulled out the still-troublemaking black jar and threw it away; since its demonic energy had dissipated, it was just an empty shell and shattered into pieces on the ground.
"It seems we've all evolved, but I find it eerie. Can the Seven-Pointed Star Array be broken this easily?"
Dai Mubai was so elated; he said this, but his smile showed he had already accepted this reality.
"Xiao Wu, quickly see what you've gained!" As her good friend, Ning Rongrong was very concerned.
"I... it seems my spirit power has disappeared."
Xiao Wu's face was full of grievance; she was going crazy. Why was she different from the other six? Not only did she gain nothing, but her strength had even regressed.
In other words, she only had her hundred-thousand-year age—which was more like a lifespan in immortal sects—without any specific spirit power or any other strength.
Tang San's expression turned bitter. He perhaps knew why; Xiao Wu's spirit power must have been transferred to him. No wonder his current spirit power was more than double what it was before.
But he chose to hide this secret for the time being, just like the secrets Tang Hao hadn't told him.
He believed that only in this way could he ensure they adapted to the unpredictable changes in the situation.
