Chapter 35 - Chapter 10: Attitude is the Mask of the Heart

Zhao Liuyun immediately locked onto Tang San. Tang San had cultivated Purple Demon Eye for many years, his eyesight was already extraordinary, so how could he not see him?

"Liuyun!"

A smile bloomed on his face, and he quickly walked over.

Zhao Liuyun immediately put down the medical book in his hand and went to meet him.

"Bang!"

The two embraced tightly, producing a dull thud.

"Long time no see." Zhao Liuyun's words were filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Having stolen the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, they would be enemies sooner or later.

The joy was that Tang San really came to this Soul Hunting Forest to hunt for a spirit ring.

His previous preparations were not in vain.

"You too, you've been well." Tang San patted his back, his eyes bright.

"How is Sister Xiao Wu?"

"Just like before, eating well, sleeping well, but still not very focused on cultivation." Tang San said with a wry smile.

During their small talk, he noticed that Zhao Liuyun's body was much stronger than before. He raised an eyebrow and exclaimed,

"It's only been two months, and you've gotten so much stronger! Look at your muscles, what good stuff have you been eating?"

Zhao Liuyun smiled helplessly: "My body used to be too weak. It looks strong now, but it's all from taking Medicinal Baths."

"Medicinal Bath?" Tang San was stunned.

"Ah~ what's wrong? You can take them too."

Zhao Liuyun glanced at the gloomy, zombie-faced man following behind Tang San: "'Grandmaster's' surname is Yu, and he specializes in theory. In the Spirit Master's world, that surname is not simple."

Grandmaster was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, Zhao Liuyun knew this, but it didn't matter.

Just casually add some trouble for you master and disciple.

He was just a student, with limited knowledge.

Seeing Tang San in a thoughtful state, Zhao Liuyun greeted Yu Xiaogang behind Tang San with a smile.

"Grandmaster, hello."

Thick lips, a zombie face, still the same as in his memory.

At Nuoding Academy, he had seen Gang Zi many times.

But since hearing the news of his severed hand, this was the first time he had observed him up close.

He still had short black hair and an ordinary appearance. He used to give off a distinct sense of self-importance, but now he seemed slightly gloomy.

His clothes were very simple, his eyes were listless, mixed with a hint of shrewdness. His left hand was placed horizontally across his chest, and his right hand hung by his side, covered by a long sleeve.

What was covered inside was probably the iron hand that Tang San had custom-made for him.

The reputation of "Theoretical Grandmaster" was very prominent in the past.

But since his hand was severed, the nickname privately circulated at Nuoding Academy gradually changed to "Iron Hand."

"Iron Hand" Yu Xiaogang, carried a hint of mockery, ridiculing his severed arm.

Some even fabricated anecdotes about him overestimating himself and recklessly hunting for spirit rings.

Who knew that by sheer luck, the anecdote turned out to be true, making Grandmaster extremely angry.

The Dean's order could only prohibit teachers from discussing it, but could it stop the students' loose tongues?

Xiao Wu and Tang San strictly forbade it, but they still couldn't stop the rumors from spreading in secret.

Of course, Zhao Liuyun wasn't the one who did it.

He always knew how to protect himself, never commented on such matters, and was even less willing to get involved in such disputes.

Attitude is the mask of the heart; he admired "Grandmaster"!

At this moment, he didn't even dare to look more than once, glancing away after a single look.

He was afraid of being misunderstood even slightly and being judged as "having a path to death."

"Zhao Liuyun, right? Thank you for guiding Little San before." Grandmaster smiled, his lips barely curling up.

The stiff smile was like a demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, sending shivers down one's spine.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, Tang San and I are friends." Zhao Liuyun quickly replied.

Friends who would go through fire and water for each other are still friends.

But in his heart, he was puzzled.

When did we become so familiar? You call me so smoothly.

The next moment, Yu Xiaogang's intention became clear.

His tone was arrogant, and he commanded from above:

"Your talent is decent. After you become a Spirit Grandmaster, don't forget to go to Shrek Academy in Soto City, Balak Kingdom, to register."

"This is an academy that only accepts monsters, only truly talented individuals."

"At that time, you can study with Little San again."

Who are you to me? It's fine to order Tang San around; a teacher for a day is a "father" for life, after all.

You treat him better than his own father, so naturally, he acknowledges you.

But you're also pointing fingers at me?

"Thank you, Grandmaster, for letting me know. I will go." Zhao Liuyunremained respectful on the surface, placating him with a gentle demeanor.

In his heart, he cursed this arrogant fool's ancestors for eighteen generations.

What a crappy academy, only a fool would go!

Grandmaster nodded in satisfaction.

He felt that Shrek was indeed the best choice. Not only did it have two Spirit Saints as teachers, but in the future, he, the Theoretical Grandmaster, would also personally teach there, ensuring Zhao Liuyunwould receive the best education.

And with the soothing floral fragrance, Little San's future cultivation would be more efficient.

It was a win-win situation.

And with the soothing floral fragrance, Little San's future cultivation would be more efficient.

"Dean, hello." Zhao Liuyun's gaze fell on the last person.

His temples were slightly frosted, his brows showed a hint of authority, and he exuded the aura of a superior who had been immersed in the academy for many years.

It was indeed the Academy Dean, Yu Xiaogang's friend, a forty-second-level Tool Spirit Ancestor over fifty years old.

After the first dangerous experience in the Soul Hunting Forest where he almost lost his life, Gang Zi dared not act strong again this time and invited him out.

"Student Zhao Liuyun, hello." The Dean's face showed a gentle smile. He had a deep impression of this rare student from Nuoding Academywho graduated early.

"We're here to purchase medicines this time. One packet of insect repellent powder, one packet of snake repellent powder, and three portions of various antidotes."

Grandmaster was embarrassed and short on money. Tang San, being young, couldn't earn much from blacksmithing, so only he, the Spirit Ancestor, could make the purchases.

As the Academy Dean and a Spirit Ancestor, he was not short of money.

Douluo Continent is a fantasy World with many types of poisons, and antidotes are not cheap. Most people buy common types, and few buy complete sets of antidotes.

Buying in large quantities without asking the price, they were a rare big customer!

A bright glint flashed in Zhao Liuyun's eyes, and he deftly took out a packet of insect repellent powder and a packet of snake repellent powder.

Then he started pulling out antidotes bottle by bottle.

"This is to neutralize blood-coagulating poison, this is specifically for spirit power-blocking poison, this is for blood-dissolving poison..."

"This is for nerve paralysis poison, it can even neutralize the poison from Tang San's first spirit ring, which came from a Datura Snake."

When he took out the last bottle, Zhao Liuyun deliberately used Tang San as an example.

Yu Xiaogang's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

His left hand unconsciously stroked his seemingly aching elbow, still unable to forget.

Last time he took Little San to hunt for a spirit ring, he should have made more preparations... but he rarely ventured into the Spirit BeastForest himself, and many considerations were only on paper. At the critical moment, he couldn't remember what specific items he should have prepared in detail.

"Ten types of antidotes, one gold coin per bottle, a total of thirty bottles, for a total of thirty gold coins." Zhao Liuyun calculated the value in front of them.

"Since you're buying so many, Dean, the insect repellent powder and snake repellent powder are free."

The Library provided much knowledge and general experience, and Zhao Liuyun always held a sense of gratitude towards Nuoding Academy.

"Good child, then I'll accept your kindness." The Dean smiled kindly.

He didn't care about the small amount, but he gladly accepted the student's gesture, then distributed all the antidotes to the two of them.

Seeing them ready to leave after tidying up, Zhao Liuyun suddenly spoke again: "Are you here to hunt for spirit rings?"

"What else would we do in the Soul Hunting Forest if not hunt for spirit rings?" Tang San turned back, asking in surprise.

"How about I go with you?"

"You've already reached level twenty?" Tang San judged him by his own standards, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"It's only been two months, how could it be that fast?" Zhao Liuyunshook his head speechlessly. Had Tang San also turned into a pig from staying with Xiao Wu for too long?

He casually pulled out an iron plate symbolizing his Mercenary status and waved it: "I'm still a Mercenary, and I'm much more familiar with the Soul Hunting Forest than you are."

"Moreover, with my floral fragrance, you'll be able to absorb your spirit ring better."

"Liuyun, you don't have to venture into danger with us..." Tang Sanwanted to refuse.

"We're friends, aren't we?" Zhao Liuyun's eyes curved into a smile, and he asked softly.

"Liuyun, it's really good to have you." Tang San felt a warmth in his heart and was very pleased.

Zhao Liuyun just smiled slightly.

You're welcome, watch how I trick you.
