Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
========================
Teacher Shen Yi stood quietly in the center of the exhibition hall, her gaze sweeping across each student's face before landing on Huo Yuhao. Of course, she knew his situation differed from Wu Siduo and the others; he hadn't undergone systematic study of Spirit Tools before entering the academy.
Therefore, during this demonstration segment, Teacher Shen Yi did not deliberately call on Huo Yuhao to try operating them.
"Alright, today's visit ends here."
Teacher Shen Yi clapped her hands, pulling everyone's thoughts back to the present.
"School is over. Remember, although Spirit Tools are powerful, they are ultimately tools to assist you. To truly master these things, your Spirit Power level, constitution, and Mental Force are all indispensable."
"Dismissed."
With Teacher Shen Yi's command, the crowd dispersed.
Wang Dong'er rubbed her slightly stiff shoulders, a trace of shock still lingering in her pinkish-blue eyes that hadn't fully faded.
The things she had witnessed today were truly too subversive.
After finishing dinner, Wang Dong'er made her way familiarly to a viewing platform on the edge of the academy.
There, clouds and mist swirled, appearing almost within reach.
Deep within that mist, two imposing figures had already been waiting for a long time.
"Big Dad, Second Dad!"
Seeing those two familiar figures, Wang Dong'er's small face instantly blossomed into a brilliant smile. Like a cheerful little butterfly, she ran over quickly.
Da Ming and Er Ming looked at each other, their eyes filled with doting affection as they watched Wang Dong'er's excited state.
"Oh, our little Xiao Qi is back?"
Da Ming chuckled and reached out to pat Wang Dong'er's head, his tone gentle.
"Looking at your excited face, what rare things did you learn at school today?"
Er Ming also laughed good-naturedly from the side.
Watching Wang Dong'er change day by day in this academy, Da Ming's heart was actually filled with many emotions.
"This academy..."
Da Ming turned his head, glancing at the magnificent complex of buildings behind them that didn't seem like man-made creations, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"To be honest, although I really dislike the arrogance of those humans, what this academy can provide for Xiao Qi... is indeed more than what we can give her."
"It is countless times stronger than that Counterfeit Shrek Academy outside that has enjoyed fame for ten thousand years."
However, at the mention of this academy, Da Ming's brow furrowed slightly again.
Of course, the personalities of some people in this academy are indeed quite terrible.
He was naturally referring to that Cai Yue'er, who had directly made things difficult for them when school started.
But... such words could only be complained about in the depths of their hearts or spoken between the two of them in private.
If that old woman actually heard it, there was no telling what kind of trouble she would cause for Wang Dong'er.
For Wang Dong'er to stay here peacefully, the two of them could be said to be walking on eggshells.
After the two of them brought Wang Dong'er back to their residence.
Wang Dong'er began to describe everything vividly.
"Big Dad, Second Dad, you definitely won't believe it!"
"That kind of forging technology... can actually give metal life! And those mechas, they're clearly just blocks of metal, but under the control of a Spirit Master, they can actually erupt with such terrifying destructive power."
Wang Dong'er's eyes were sparkling.
"What shocked me most were the Spirit Tools! Teacher Shen Yi showed us many treasures today. There was a bracer that could actually withstand a blow from a Limit Douluo! And a crystal that replenishes Spirit Power, which can instantly refill all the consumption of a Super Douluo!"
"I used to think Spirit Tools were cold things and got a headache just hearing about them, but now it seems... Spirit Tools are truly amazing. They can completely change the outcome of a battle!"
Just as Wang Dong'er was getting into the swing of her story—The expressions of Da Ming and Er Ming suddenly froze, because a voice rang out in their minds—it was the voice of Tang San!
"Enough."
At this moment, Tang San's tone was filled with deep dissatisfaction.
In his view, as his bloodline, Wang Dong'er appearing so fanatical before these so-called technologies and mechas was simply demeaning her status!
"Xiao Qi's mind has already been clouded by these so-called trivial tricks."
Tang San's voice echoed in Da Ming and Er Ming's mental seas.
"The foundation of a Spirit Master is the god-given Spirit and one's own level of enlightenment. Relying on external forces is ultimately just a minor path."
"Hint to her, let her return to the correct path."
"Tell her... in this world, only the Hidden Weapons of the Tang Sect are the most orthodox and powerful. Spirit Tools can serve as assistance, but she must never rely on them. Otherwise, she can forget about ever stepping into that realm in her lifetime."
This fellow Tang San was truly present at all times. To be honest, this made the two of them quite uncomfortable. After all, having such a guy who liked to peek and observe the lower realm from time to time, and who was so powerful—although the two were very familiar with Tang San, they still felt a sense of unease.
As for the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons Tang San mentioned, the two felt it was quite absurd because the current Tang Sect could be said to have already disappeared. After all, Tang San hadn't left behind anything useful at all.
Ten thousand years ago, Tang San could indeed rely on Hidden Weapons to fight against gods; that was a miracle.
But what about now?
These Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, let alone dealing with gods, would probably struggle even against some Spirit Saints if used today.
The current era belongs to the era of Spirit Tools.
But this was Tang San's instruction.
They didn't dare to disobey, nor did they dare to say no.
Da Ming took a deep breath and then spoke somewhat stiffly, attempting to guide the topic.
"Um... Xiao Qi."
Da Ming looked at Wang Dong'er, who was still marveling at Spirit Tools, his tone appearing a bit hesitant.
"Spirit Tools are certainly powerful, but you must also remember one thing: human wisdom... actually has another, even higher manifestation."
Wang Dong'er paused, looking at Da Ming with some confusion.
"Another kind? You mean... what?"
On the side, Er Ming could only bite the bullet and pick up the conversation: "That's right, it's the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons! The kind of things that don't require Spirit Power, or rather, only require a tiny amount of Spirit Power to erupt with lethal destructive power—that is the true peak of technology."
"Didn't your Second Dad and I tell you the legend of Sea God Tang San from ten thousand years ago? Tang Sect Hidden Weapons could actually be used to fight against gods. Of those Spirit Tools you just mentioned, which one can fight against a god?"
"Tang Sect Hidden Weapons are the most powerful."
When Da Ming and Er Ming said these words, their faces were slightly burning with embarrassment.
"Tang Sect Hidden Weapons?"
When Wang Dong'er heard these words, a trace of inexplicable goodwill appeared in her heart. This goodwill was much like her previous inexplicable dislike for Spirit Tools—both were without reason.
It was just that after the feeling of dislike for Spirit Tools vanished, that sense of goodwill had also become somewhat subtle.
"Big Dad, Second Dad, you say Tang Sect Hidden Weapons are very powerful, so where is the Tang Sect now? Is it in seclusion like our Clear Sky Sect?"
Wang Dong'er was still unaware of the Tang Sect's current status. To be honest, even Da Ming and Er Ming hadn't paid much attention; they only knew it was practically non-existent.
And it was just such a simple question that directly left Da Ming and Er Ming incredibly embarrassed.
Should they answer truthfully?
But they had just finished saying how incredibly awesome the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons were, and how Tang San used them against gods. If the Tang Sect, which had been passed down for ten thousand years, was now gone, was it really that awesome?
This would have to be asked of Tang San. Da Ming and Er Ming also knew that Tang San hadn't left anything useful for the Tang Sect at all. Otherwise, after ten thousand years of development, the Counterfeit Shrek Academy would still be firmly in first place while the Tang Sect had vanished. One must know that Shrek Academy only had a reputation, while the Tang Sect had received Tang San's true legacy. Furthermore, wasn't the name of Sea God Tang San famous enough?
Comparing the two, there were too many suspicious points.
Where is Tang San? Someone save us, what should we say?
The two Spirit Beasts, Da Ming and Er Ming, were at a loss for words.
