--- Chapter 115 ---
After dropping Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar off to the Soul Hunting Town, Flender flew back to the Star Dou Forest, where Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Zhao Wuji had been waiting for him.
"Let's go!" Flender smiled faintly at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang nodded and held his disciple's hand as they entered the Star Dou Forest's mixed area.
At the front, they have Zhao Wuji.
At the back, they have Flender.
This formation was 'thoroughly' planned by Yu Xiaogang's genius mind!
Of course, Yu Xiaogang would regret making this decision later.
...
A few miles away. Han Yuan and Ah Yin stood atop a tall pine tree. They looked at the forest below and spread their sense all over the blue silver grass, widening their searching ability.
"Xiao Yuan, they are three miles away from us! What should we do~?" Ah Yin said with an excited smile.
Han Yuan smiled back, "Well, they are brave enough to enter the mixed area, so they should face the consequences, no?"
"Let's send a few spirit beasts on their way."
Ah Yin's eyes lit up, "Hehe, I like your plan!"
"As expected of my son~!"
With that, Ah Yin spread her spiritual power with the help of blue silver grass. She searched for suitable spirit beasts and decided on the Yang-Seeking Gorilla, Body-Binding Snake, and Wood Piercer Beast.
"Hehe~!" Ah Yin giggled joyfully as she controlled these 10,000-year-old spirit beasts with her spiritual power, ordering them to harass Tang San and his group. "Let's see how you handle this, you fucking thief!"
Han Yuen realized what she was about to do and said, "Wait, don't send those 10,000-year-old spirit beasts immediately."
"Send the weaker ones first and give them a sense of security."
"Yu Xiaogang is the type of person whose confidence grew as long as he never experienced setbacks. Letting him face a 10,000-year-old spirit beast will kill his ambition."
"Tang San, being his disciple, shares the same traits."
"How did you know?" Ah Yin raised her eyebrow. "Was your intel that strong, Xiao Yuan?"
Han Yuan pointed at his forehead and said calmly, "When you only have hatred and revenge on your mind, you can't help but start analyzing and imagining every step to reach your goal."
"Combined with the data I got on Tang San's personal life in the past years, I might know him better than himself..."
"Hehe, I can't help it. I hate Asura and Tang San so much..."
"This..." Ah Yin finally realized how much anger Han Yuan kept behind his calm and collected exterior.
Han Yuan couldn't afford to kill Tang San immediately because of Asura's protection, so he could only do the second-best thing, torturing Tang San, preventing him from getting stronger quickly, and simulating nearly every possible scenario to drag them to hell.
Han Yuan's rage is not like a raging flame that could burn anything in his path. It was more like a sea, deep and mysterious, ready to overwhelm others with its abyss-like depth.
Ah Yin cast a worried gaze, 'Han Yuan's pain is worse than mine, and it's not good.'
'I should look for a way to cheer him up~!'
So, Ah Yin put on a ditzy look and facepalmed, "You're right! How could we end the good show early? I will send a group of 1,000-year-old spirit beasts to them first!"
...
Awooo!
"A pack of Grass Wolfhounds is coming to us!" Zhao Wuji roared. His face turned serious because Grass Wolfhound wasn't a strong spirit beast, but they were annoying to face in a pack.
What makes things worse is this pack of Grass Wolfhounds has several 1,000-year-old wolves!
Zhao Wuji possessed his martial soul, Vigorous Vajra Bear, and used his gravity spirit skill, making an invisible around him and others. He roared and thrust his palm forward, "Vigorous Vajra Palm!"
BOOM!
A palm-shaped energy blast burst from Zhao Wuji's palm and killed the Grass Wolfhounds mercilessly, sending their mangled corpses flailing left and right.
Some Grass Wolfhounds survived the attack, though. They angrily roared and bared their teeth at Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Flender.
Tang San's eyes widened, 'So strong!'
Honestly, Tang San hasn't seen high-level experts in this world, but Zhao Wuji's display of power reminded him of Shaolin Monk's Buddha Palm technique.
It has the domineering force that Tang Sect's techniques didn't have.
Tang San also couldn't help but compare this experience to his first time hunting spirit ring, which was sky and mud apart.
At the time, Yu Xiaogang couldn't do anything but shout his name before fainting due to Datura Snake's poison. His fart attack couldn't do anything to Dature Snake at all.
Yet, in contrast to Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji possessed unparalleled power and could kill a 1,000-year-old spirit beast with a simple palm attack!
Tang San felt a new door was 'suddenly' opened for him. Still, he didn't dare to take that step because he forever immortalized Yu Xiaogang's image in his heart.
He's your teacher, Tang San!
How could you not trust your teacher?
Don't forget that Master a day, Father forever!
Tang San shook his head and used his Purple Demon Eyes to observe the surrounding area.
Flender already flew in the sky, "Xiaogang, summon Luo Sanpao and hit these spirit beasts with a paralyzing attack!"
Even then, Yu Xiaogang froze like a statue upon hearing Flender's shout to control the incoming spirit beast. Hearing "Luo Sanpao" is like opening a wound in Yu Xiaogang's heart because his martial soul mutated again three years ago!
Yu Xioagang couldn't summon Luo Sanpao anymore as it had become a pig martial soul through and through. He could only possess the martial soul like any other spirit master with a beast spirit.
Although Yu Xiaogang no longer felt a bottleneck in his cultivation, which means he could reach the Spirit Elder Realm now, he felt disgusted by the power and appearance of his mutated martial soul.
Someone with low self-esteem yet strong pride like Yu Xiaogang couldn't afford to use such powers!
That's why Yu Xiaogang has kept this secret from everyone. Even Tang San, his disciple, doesn't know.
Regardless, Flender's shout made Yu Xiaogang fall into a dilemma.
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
Then, an idea clicked in Yu Xiaogang's mind.
Yu Xiaogang calmly sighed and patted Tang San's shoulder, "Xiao San, summon your blue silver grass and control the Grass Wolfhounds. It will be good training for you!"
'Sorry, what the fuck?' Flender was speechless.
Yu Xiaogang, you gotta be joking!'
'Your disciple is only a half-step Spirit Grandmaster with blue silver grass martial soul, and you told him it would be good practice to control 1,000-year-old spirit beasts? You are insane!'
Even Zhao Wuji at the front felt like he was dreaming. What kind of drugs are you on, Grandmaster?
Meanwhile, Tang San's eyes lit up in amazement. "As expected of the teacher, you can even teach me in this situation!"
'Are you dumb!' Flender and Zhao Wuji couldn't believe their ears.
Yu Xiaogang is one thing, but you're on another level, Tang San!
"Let's do this!" Tang San confidently stepped forward and summoned his Blue Silver Grass, but something weird happened. His martial soul is limp as if it had lost its motivation.
"How could this be??!" Tang San was shocked.
Far away, Ah Yin chuckled coldly, "Dirty thief, do you think you can use Blue Silver Grass on my watch? No fucking chance!"
