Chapter 162: Return to Shrek Academy, Meeting Yu Xiaogang
Tang San successfully absorbed the Spirit Ring from the Human Faced Demon Spider and, as expected, the Eight Spider Lances Spirit Bone appeared at the very last moment.
Of course, aside from Yu Tianlin, everyone present was completely confused. For a while, they did not even know what the Eight Spider Lances were. After all, it did not look like a torso Spirit Bone, and external Spirit Bones were far too rare, so no one made that connection.
With everyone finally safe and intact, Zhao Wuji immediately decided to rest for the night, then continue the next morning to look for Oscar's 3rd Spirit Ring.
In the original plan, Oscar's 3rd Spirit Ring was supposed to come from the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent, producing flying mushroom sausages that let the user fly at the serpent's speed for 1 minute. But due to this sudden change, the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent had already been killed by Yu Tianlin, so that original 3rd Spirit Ring was now gone.
However, this was actually a good thing for Oscar, since that 3rd Spirit Skill was not that outstanding anyway.
Flying at a crested serpent's speed for 1 minute was certainly useful in the early stages, but later on, it became much less valuable, or even meaningless.
If you wanted an early Spirit Skill to remain useful in the later stages of cultivation, it was best to choose percentage based boosts, like Dai Mubai's White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation, which could still play a major role even later.
The opposite example was Tang San. His 1st Spirit Skill, Entanglement, was strong control early on, but later it became almost useless.
Of course, in Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's plan, the Blue Silver Grass was meant for the early stages, and the Clear Sky Hammer would carry the later stages, so it was normal that the Blue Silver Grass Spirit Skills leaned toward the early game.
In short, since the Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent was dead, they had to find another suitable Spirit Beast for Oscar.
The group quickly locked onto their target, the Thousand Year Pink Lady.
Pink Lady was a social Spirit Beast. It was not rare and existed in large numbers. Yu Tianlin and the others found one without much effort, captured it smoothly, and let Oscar kill it and absorb its Spirit Ring.
Thus, Oscar obtained his 3rd Spirit Skill, Excited Pink Sausage. It could increase all of the user's attributes by 10 for 3 minutes. During those 3 minutes, the user was also immune to all abnormal statuses. It was quite good.
With everything settled, the group finally left the Star Dou Great Forest. They rested for a day in a small town outside the forest before returning to Shrek Academy.
Yu Tianlin calculated the timing and figured his 2nd uncle, Yu Xiaogang, should have already arrived at Shrek Academy. However, it was already late, and Yu Tianlin did not want to look for him in the middle of the night. He decided to meet him tomorrow and returned to his room to rest.
The night passed quickly. Early the next morning, Tang San rose as usual to cultivate his Purple Demon Eye, only to run into Yu Xiaogang, who had come to find him.
After they met and exchanged a few words, Yu Xiaogang wanted to see what Tang San had gained on this trip, so the two left the academy together.
At that moment, Yu Tianlin pushed open his door and watched their backs, his expression thoughtful.
That is my 2nd uncle, Yu Xiaogang. He looks older than before, and his face is stiffer.
Yu Tianlin had seen Yu Xiaogang a few times when he was a baby, so he still had some impression. He simply had not expected Yu Xiaogang to change this much.
Then again, 12 years had passed. Of course things would change.
With that thought, Yu Tianlin concealed his presence and quietly followed. With his abilities, neither Tang San nor Yu Xiaogang could detect him.
He trailed them to a small grove outside the village. Yu Tianlin found a good hiding spot, then watched Tang San test the toughness and toxicity of Blue Silver Grass while Yu Xiaogang pointed out flaws and gave feedback.
But to Yu Tianlin's surprise, after Yu Xiaogang commented on Blue Silver Grass's shortcomings, he actually said, "Although your Blue Silver Grass has major flaws, don't forget you don't only have Blue Silver Grass as your Martial Soul."
Tang San immediately asked, "Teacher, do you mean I can cultivate that hammer now?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head firmly. "No. Remember this, without my permission, you are not allowed to attach a Spirit Ring to your hammer."
Good grief, you 2 really live dangerously. Aren't you afraid someone might be eavesdropping? You just blurt out the secret of twin Martial Souls like it's dinner gossip.
You're lucky it's me. If some random outsider heard that, things would get very entertaining, very fast.
"Cough, cough."
Yu Tianlin could not stay hidden anymore. He coughed deliberately to reveal his presence.
"Who's there?" Yu Xiaogang's expression changed sharply. He had just revealed Tang San's twin Martial Soul secret, and he had not expected anyone to overhear.
Tang San also tensed, his muscles tightening as if ready to strike.
Yu Tianlin stepped out calmly. "Relax, it's me, Yu Tianlin."
"Yu Tianlin." Seeing who it was, Tang San immediately let out a breath. After these days together, he already considered Yu Tianlin one of their own. Even if Yu Tianlin knew his secret, he probably would not spread it.
"Tianlin, I didn't expect you to grow this much." Yu Xiaogang looked him over carefully, and his expression instantly became complicated. "Flander told me you came to see me, yes? You overheard what Tang San and I said."
"I heard it." Yu Tianlin nodded. "Besides Blue Silver Grass, Tang San also has a hammer Martial Soul."
"So you did hear it." Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and stared at him. "I hope you can keep this secret and not tell anyone."
"Don't worry, I won't talk about it outside." Yu Tianlin replied casually. "But if you 2 leak it yourselves, that has nothing to do with me."
Yu Tianlin's answer eased Yu Xiaogang's expression slightly. Then Yu Xiaogang asked, "Tianlin, how are your grandfather and father now?"
"They're both fine." Yu Tianlin said. "But Grandpa misses you a lot. The purpose of my trip is to persuade 2nd Uncle to return to the clan."
"Grandpa and Dad have returned to the clan?" Tang San, who had been listening, was instantly dumbfounded. "Teacher, are you from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"I'm no longer a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Yu Xiaogang's emotions surged, and his tone grew agitated. "Tianlin, you've likely made this trip for nothing. I won't go back with you."
