Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Dugu Yan grew even more enraged.
"Your uncle can only fool a simpleton like Tang San. Martial Spirit theory? He's not fit to teach anyone. Putting everything else aside, as the leading teacher, Yu Xiaogang must have a thorough understanding of his students' abilities, let alone Tang San being his student. He must know which Hidden Weapons Tang San uses and their specific power!"
"We registered with our real names at the Great Spirit Arena. Yu Xiaogang must have known about your existence through the records beforehand. He could have warned you before the match."
"But what happened? If not for Shi Quan, when you charged into their team and were ambushed, you would have lost half your life. Later, when Shi Quan and Shi Mo worked together to take down that Soft Bones Demon Rabbit, Tang San pulled out that black box which could have directly killed us. If Ning Rongrong hadn't stopped him, it's a question whether we'd still be standing. And those Hidden Weapons were all lethal."
"How good can a teacher be if he Cultivates such a narrow-minded and vicious disciple? Moreover, he came to inquire about Shi Quan today. Are these the actions a senior, a Master, should take?"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan's voice softened a few shades. She earnestly advised, "Tianheng, your uncle is clearly not of sound mind, and he obviously doesn't care about you. You should stop associating with him in the future!"
"Dugu Yan!" Yu Tianheng suddenly stood up, his face filled with anger and displeasure. He lowered his voice and said, "Master Xiaogang is my elder. Watch your words. When I was little, he was always by my side, caring for me and loving me. In my heart, he has always been the most respected elder. Watch your words, I don't want you to slander my uncle like this."
"Slander?" Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng with hollow eyes, softly repeated the word, then lowered her head slightly. Her fists on her lap tightened slightly. The person she deeply loved, when faced with her advice, immediately thought of 'slander'!
Yu Tianheng said such a completely dismissive word without even thinking, how could Dugu Yan not feel heartbroken?
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng's heart also flustered. He quickly realized he might have said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "Dugu Yan, I didn't mean that…"
"I'm tired. I'm going back to rest." Dugu Yan didn't want to hear Yu Tianheng's explanation at all. She calmly stood up, her voice indifferent, betraying no joy or sorrow.
Yu Tianheng's expression froze. He quickly reached out to grab Dugu Yan, preparing to explain further, but Dugu Yan dodged him with a flash.
"I said I'm tired!" Dugu Yan's voice held a hint of coldness.
"Dugu Yan, I…" Yu Tianheng stood frozen in place, opening his mouth but not knowing how to explain. He could only quietly watch Dugu Yan's figure leave, standing alone dejectedly.
…
On the other side.
Qin Ming was sighing, "If the junior students weren't members of our Shrek, I would have kept them all at Heaven Dou Royal Academy no matter what."
Yu Xiaogang, who had just returned from outside, happened to hear this and immediately said, "Even if they are from Shrek Academy, you can still bring them back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Losing today's match made Yu Xiaogang fully understand the gap between Shrek and truly top-tier teams.
The Shrek Team was ultimately too young. Although they were all Genius, the gap in strength between them and top-tier teams was still too large.
Just comparing them simply with the Heaven Dou Battle Team, when the actual competition begins, the entire Heaven Dou Battle Team will have at least three members above Rank 40. If they are lucky, this number could even reach five.
In contrast, for Shrek, no matter how hard they Cultivate, only Dai Mubai would have a chance to Breakthrough to Rank 40 at most. The others had only just Breakthrough to Spirit Elder.
The gap in spirit power Rank had already become an insurmountable chasm for Shrek Academy.
Joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Firstly, Shrek's spot in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament could be resolved.
Secondly, he could use Heaven Dou Royal Academy to strengthen the Shrek Team. Didn't Yu Tianheng want to learn from him? This also provided a reason.
Besides Yu Tianheng's inside help, there was also Qin Ming as the leader, plus Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the existence behind Tang San. The possibility of integrating the team was extremely high!
Thirdly, he could also take this opportunity to suppress Shi Quan's so-called new Master title, letting Heaven Dou Royal Academy understand what a true Master is. In his opinion, Shi Quan was still just a child. No matter how smart, once he reached a place where he could display his talent, he would definitely be able to completely crush Shi Quan.
Yu Xiaogang was naturally determined to achieve such a good outcome that killed three birds with one stone.
Flender, however, was unaware of Yu Xiaogang's thoughts and immediately stood up indignantly, saying, "Xiaogang, are you trying to undermine me?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression remained unchanged as he continued to explain.
…
Not long after, after Yu Xiaogang presented three major issues: the competition quota, the simulated environment, and the original intention of establishing the school, Flender finally compromised. He walked out of the room alone, dejectedly, and Ma Hongjun immediately followed him. Yu Xiaogang remained in the room, continuing to discuss details with Qin Ming.
After discussion, the Shrek Team would head to Heaven Dou City two months later.
Subsequently, Qin Ming bid farewell and left. Flender, enlightened by Ma Hongjun's 'borrowing a chicken to lay eggs' analogy, returned.
"Flender, don't leave yet, I still have something to say," Yu Xiaogang immediately spoke when he saw Flender return.
"What else is there?" Flender, who had just entered the door, looked puzzled but patiently followed Yu Xiaogang into a private room.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, who had largely recovered, and said, "Xiao San, don't be disheartened by today's defeat. I have already investigated Shi Quan's specific situation."
"His current spirit power Rank and his evolved Blue Silver King Martial Spirit were not actually Cultivated by his own ability."
"Instead, it's because he was lucky and obtained a rare treasure from Dugu Bo that happened to suit him. This caused his Cultivation to soar in a short period, and his Martial Spirit evolved along with it!"
"Dugu Bo? The Titled Douluo with the title of Poison? He actually has such a good thing?!" Flender was immediately greatly surprised, but after thinking about it, since it came from a Titled Douluo, it made sense for it to be unusual.
"Rare treasure?" Tang San's pupils involuntarily contracted. After muttering, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what rare treasure did Shi Quan consume? What made him change so much?"
Yu Xiaogang said, "This rare treasure is called Black Jade Divine Bamboo. It's a long bamboo that is entirely black and has the texture of jade. Shi Quan was lucky; his second spirit ring happened to be absorbed from a Black Jade Bamboo. This Black Jade Bamboo should have some connection with this rare treasure, allowing him to sense the Black Jade Divine Bamboo."
"Black Jade Divine Bamboo?"
Flender looked bewildered, while Tang San on the side was excited. Could it be that on Douluo Continent, there was actually an Immortal Herb recorded in his previous life's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record?
From Master's description and introduction, this Black Jade Divine Bamboo was almost identical to the Immortal Herb recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
The Black Jade Divine Bamboo is incredibly rigid; Mortal Weapon cannot harm it in the slightest. Plus the amplification from a plant Spirit Beast like the Black Jade Bamboo, no wonder Shi Quan's Blue Silver Grass is so tough, Tang San thought to himself.
His Martial Spirit was also Blue Silver Grass. If he could consume this Black Jade Divine Bamboo, his Martial Spirit's strength could also reach an astonishing degree.
Thinking of this, a strong sense of unwillingness immediately rose in Tang San's heart.
He only won because of a rare treasure? If he could also consume a rare treasure, then who won or lost would be another matter.
Shi Quan was just lucky. He didn't lose due to his ability.
Thinking of this, the unwillingness in Tang San's heart gradually turned into jealousy.
Such a rare treasure was obtained by Shi Quan, a waste with only Innate spirit power Rank one, while he, a Genius with Innate full spirit power, missed out. It was just like his previous life, where he clearly had astonishing talent but was always unable to enter the inner Sect to learn more profound secret arts due to his identity and Sect rules. How unfair was this!
It was like this in his previous life, and it was the same in this life.
Thinking of this, indignation began to rise amidst the jealousy in Tang San's heart. Since ancient times, treasures have belonged to the capable. Shi Quan, this good-for-nothing, consuming this Black Jade Divine Bamboo was a complete waste!
For a moment, feelings of indignation, unwillingness, and jealousy surged in his heart. Tang San's fists couldn't help but clench a few times.
In the room upstairs, Tang Hao's tall figure also suddenly stood up at this moment.
Ever since he discovered that Ah Yin and her Spirit Bone had been stolen by people from Spirit Hall, he had come to Soto City and had been secretly guarding Tang San. He had already lost Ah Yin and could not lose his child again.
Before ensuring Tang San's rise, he could not act impulsively.
"No wonder this kid's Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit is so strange, like a Blue Silver King but not quite, like a Blue Silver Emperor but not a Blue Silver Emperor. So it's because of this special rare treasure that it evolved."
"However, although this kid's Martial Spirit has indeed reached the Blue Silver King level, and is probably not far from the Blue Silver Emperor, it's a pity that the Blue Silver Emperor can only be Xiao San. When Xiao San awakens the Blue Silver Emperor, his strange Blue Silver King can only submit to Xiao San's Blue Silver Emperor."
A sharp glint flashed in Tang Hao's eyes, with a hint of regret. "If Xiao San could consume this rare treasure, the Blue Silver Emperor might awaken earlier."
"Dugu Bo…"
Tang Hao muttered softly, having already made a decision in his heart. Dugu Bo gave away this rare treasure so easily. It was possible that Dugu Bo still had other rare treasures that might also be suitable for Tang San.
Tang Hao had already decided that once they arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Tang San's safety was assured, he would immediately go to Dugu Bo to 'learn' from him and see if he could get another rare treasure for his son.
