Breaking through level 30 has always been Yu Xiaogang's dream.
"Xiao San, is this true?"
Yu Xiaogang burst into tears, clutching Tang San's hand.
Tang San affirmed, "Teacher, I'm sure."
He quickly shared the news with Liu Erlong and Flanders.
"Xiao San, are you absolutely certain?" Liu Erlong exclaimed excitedly.
"Absolutely. Last night, I pondered for a long time and discovered that the topography there matches the recorded birthplace of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Furthermore, according to the records, there's almost certainly immortal grass near the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."
There was one thing Tang San didn't mention: the slow growth cycle of immortal grass. If the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire had only recently formed, it was very likely that the nearby immortal grass hadn't yet matured.
Flanders said excitedly, "If we truly obtain the Immortal Grass, the little monsters' strength will increase even faster. We'll have a better chance of defeating Team Canaan in this Soul Master Tournament."
"Dean, I hope you won't tell anyone about this, especially Rongrong."
After a pause, Tang San continued, "Rongrong herself is fine, but if she brings back the story of the Yin-Yang Eyes, I'm afraid that place won't belong to us."
"Xiao San has a point. Treasures always belong to those who are destined for them. Since Xiao San discovered it first, it rightfully belongs to Xiao San," Yu Xiaogang chimed in.
After all, Tang San was his disciple, so the Immortal Grass would surely be his. Besides, he didn't know what it was, so there was no need to try to claim it for himself.
"Dean, Aunt Erlong, after you consume the Immortal Grass, you should be able to ascend to Soul Douluo very quickly. Then, our academy will be even more powerful," Tang San said with a smile.
"But that place might be the secluded place of a powerful individual. Is that really okay?" Liu Erlong asked worriedly.
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "Erlong, don't forget our Golden Triangle's Soul Fusion Technique. Once you and Flender's Soul Power break through to Soul Douluo, and I reach Soul Master, the power of our Soul Fusion Technique will be greatly enhanced. By then, even ordinary Titled Douluo will be no match for us."
Flender replied, "Yes, Sister Erlong, the Immortal Grass might still be able to save Hongjun. No matter what, we can't miss this opportunity."
After some persuasion, Liu Erlong finally put her worries to rest.
The Golden Triangle, along with Tang San, quickly ran towards Sunset Forest.
"Dean, the College Exchange Tournament is about to begin," Sun Buyu reported.
Han Yu thought for a moment and said, "Tell Lingling and the others not to reveal their cards too easily. I doubt even they would use their full strength."
The College Exchange Tournament is hosted by the Four Elements College, and participating teams must be invited by them.
However, they have no restrictions on who can watch. Revealing their cards too early would only put them in a disadvantageous position.
Moreover, the format of the exchange competition was simple: several teams took turns competing.
After a pause, Han Yu asked, "By the way, the Royal Fighting Team has participated in previous exchange competitions, but I heard they withdrew this time?" Sun Buyu
scratched his head and explained, "Dean, the Royal Fighting Team has lost its core member, and they may not advance directly to the finals this time. They're currently reorganizing their team, and should meet us in the Tiandou City competition area."
With the loss of Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng, and Ye Lingling, the Royal Fighting Team's strength has been greatly reduced; advancing directly to the finals would be utterly humiliating. However, this time, Tang San and his team didn't stand a chance of defeating the Royal Fighting Team in a minute.
Suddenly sensing something, Han Yu frowned. "Hmm~ Tang San, you still haven't given up?"
"I'll go in and explore the route first. Xiaogang, you guys stay here." Flender activated his spirit and took a few steps forward.
"Dean, be careful. The will-o'-the-wisps within this poisonous miasma might not be so easy to deal with," Tang San warned.
Flanders smiled and said, "No problem. I'll quickly pass through the poisonous miasma and explore the mountain first. Once I find the immortal grass, we'll find a way to bring Xiao San in."
"First Spirit Skill, Eagle Strike!"
Flanders' speed instantly increased significantly, and he transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the poisonous miasma.
With his spirit power protecting him, the poison's corrosion was much slower.
But with his vision obstructed, Flanders had difficulty determining direction, and his speed inevitably slowed down.
"Oh no! That will-o'-the-wisp is flying towards the dean." Tang San thought to himself that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted, "Dean, be careful!"
Unfortunately, the poisonous miasma seemed to block his voice.
Flanders, trapped within the miasma, was completely unaware of this. It was not
until a wave of heat hit him that he reacted.
"Damn will-o'-the-wisp! I let it run wild. Seventh Spirit Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
Seeing Flanders about to be engulfed, the furious Liu Erlong immediately rushed in.
"Aunt Erlong, don't be impulsive," Tang San said anxiously. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
The flames that had been swirling through the poisonous miasma for years were bound to be highly toxic. Once contaminated, it would be difficult to detoxify.
"Hmph, you dare to plot against me!"
Suddenly, a turquoise wave of soul power erupted from the miasma, throwing Flender and the other two out. The man who had
come was none other than Dugu Bo.
He had returned here for the past few days to give the illusion of recuperation. Unexpectedly, he was visited by a few clueless individuals.
He didn't realize that his actions had inadvertently saved Flender and the other two's lives.
Gazing at the humanoid silhouette emerging from the miasma, Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, "Dugu Bo, it's you!"
As the saying goes, when enemies meet, enmity grows.
Because of Qin Ming's death, the Shrek people had long harbored an irreconcilable hatred for Dugu Bo!
"Dugu Bo, what right do you have to occupy this place? This is Sunset Forest, no one's land!" Yu Xiaogang roared.
The immortal herb that could help him break through lay within this valley, yet he hadn't expected it to be occupied by Dugu Bo.
Tang San stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said calmly, "Senior Dugu, this is a treasured place. I simply wish to enter and search for some medicinal herbs. If you will allow me to do so, I will reward you handsomely."
Looking at Dugu Bo's expression, Tang San was certain he was poisoned, and the poison had penetrated deep into his bones.
If he would be willing to be a dog to the Tang family and hand over the immortal herb, Tang San might, reluctantly, offer to treat him.
"Hmph, I don't want to make a deal with you. It's true that this was once unowned land, but according to the regulations of the entire continent, if an unowned land is occupied for more than ten years, it becomes private land."
Dugu Bo smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I have occupied this place for ten years. Therefore, this is my territory. For the sake of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, I will not kill you. Go away."
"Dugu Bo, don't go too far!" Yu Xiaogang scolded, "What evidence do you have to prove that you have occupied this place for ten years? This is the common property of all soul masters in the continent. What gives you the right to claim it as your own!"
