Chapter 24: Teacher... Is Indeed a Bit Weak
In the Soul Hunting Forest, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San had already encountered the Datura Snake.
"Fart like thunder, Luo San Pao, who splits the earth with a roar."
As Yu Xiaogang's command fell, the yellow spirit ring on Luo San Pao's body shone.
It inhaled frantically, and its body shot out.
Amidst the thunderous roar, Luo San Pao's Super Thunder Quake Fart surged forth.
The Datura Snake was very fast, but it was still knocked flying.
"Run!"
After Yu Xiaogang saw the length of the Datura Snake, he no longer had any thought of fighting it.
He turned and ran.
Luo San Pao's speed was not slow, following closely beside them, with a look of panic in its eyes.
The unharmed Datura Snake attacked again.
Yu Xiaogang was helpless and could only order Luo San Pao again: "Fart like smoke, Luo San Pao, who puts to sleep with a blow."
"Pfft!"
Yellow gas sprayed out from Luo San Pao's rear, covering a large area.
At this point, Yu Xiaogang was at his wit's end.
Because the radishes he had fed Luo San Pao earlier were only enough for it to release three farts.
They had encountered a pack of wolves and released one earlier, and now two more.
If they still couldn't take down that Datura Snake, the master and disciple would probably meet their end here today.
The speed of the Datura Snake was not something they could match.
"It's over!"
Yu Xiaogang saw the Datura Snake rush out of the poisonous mist.
He despaired.
His sleeping poisonous mist actually had no substantial effect on the Datura Snake.
"Luo San Pao, block it!"
In a moment of crisis, Yu Xiaogang could only sacrifice his Spirit, letting Luo San Pao buy them some time.
Luo San Pao was helpless and could only go forward.
The Datura Snake was not only extremely fast, but its movements were also exceptionally agile.
It twisted its body and dodged Luo San Pao's charge.
And then it turned back and bit Luo San Pao.
"Luo Luo…"
Luo San Pao screamed, crashed straight to the ground, and then turned into purple light, returning to Yu Xiaogang's body.
Yu Xiaogang felt a sense of utter despair.
He didn't understand why Heaven would treat him this way; he had finally met three Geniuses, but before he could do anything, he was about to perish here.
Just as Yu Xiaogang felt despair.
Tang San took out radishes from his storage spirit tool and threw them without looking back.
The radishes accurately hit the Datura Snake.
Then Tang San went all out, one radish after another shooting out from his hand.
Every single one accurately hit the Datura Snake.
With the help of those radishes, the two successfully distanced themselves from the Datura Snake.
What precise technique.
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed, not expecting Tang San to hide such a method.
He could finally live.
However, fate is often a cruel mistress; Luo San Pao, who returned to his body, also brought back the Datura Snake's venom.
The venom slowly took effect.
Yu Xiaogang only felt dizzy, and his vision gradually became blurred.
His life was so bitter.
With danger so close, Tang San no longer cared about hiding his abilities.
Silent Sleeve Dart, Tang Sect's ultimate skill.
To survive, Tang San went all out, fighting against the Datura Snake.
In the end, Tang San was still superior and killed it.
"Little San!"
Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang San, dumbfounded, for a moment unable to tell who was the teacher.
Tang San suddenly woke up with a start.
He knew that everything he had just done had been seen by Yu Xiaogang.
Should he kill him to silence him?
After thinking for a moment, Tang San still gave up; after all, the other party was his teacher.
But he still needed to pretend.
Tang San told a very clumsy lie, and Yu Xiaogang was sensible enough not to expose it.
A spirit ring emerged from the Datura Snake.
Yu Xiaogang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually became excited.
"That's great."
"This is really great, Little San, your spirit ring is settled now."
Tang San was stunned.
He glanced at the Datura Snake and asked, "Teacher, you're not talking about this snake, are you?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded and said, "That's right, it's him."
"This Datura Snake is nearly four hundred years old, just approaching the limit for the first ring."
"With your talent, absorbing it will definitely not be a problem."
Tang San asked doubtfully, "But, Teacher, my Spirit is a plant, but it's a beast. Won't there be a conflict?"
Yu Xiaogang regained his confident demeanor.
"One of the ten core competencies I researched is the Spirit Mimicry Theory."
"Plant-type Spirits are not necessarily limited to absorbing plant spirit rings."
"And Beast Spirits are not necessarily limited to absorbing Beast Spirit rings."
"Under various combined factors, the two can absorb each other."
"The biggest advantage of Blue Silver Grass is that it has no exclusivity."
"Because it is too weak, it will not reject the attributes provided by any spirit ring."
"Do you still remember what kind of spirit ring we were looking for?"
Tang San's eyes lit up and he said, "One that adds a tough effect, preferably with poison, which the Datura Snake happens to possess."
Yu Xiaogang nodded and said, "That's right."
"Whether it's ordinary Spirit Masters or those guys from the Spirit Hall, they all scoff at my ten core competencies."
"But how can my talent be understood by them?"
"Little San, are you willing to try, are you willing to prove it to the world for me?"
Tang San said firmly, "Teacher, I am willing."
Yu Xiaogang said fanatically, "Good, go, Little San, go and prove my talent to the world."
Tang San no longer hesitated and came before the Datura Snake.
Come on, my first spirit ring, you will determine whether I can master Tang Sect's ultimate skill.
And also determine whether I can become the teacher's hope.
Tang San began to absorb the first spirit ring, and Yu Xiaogang also fell into a coma as the venom completely took effect.
By the time Tang San finished absorbing the spirit ring.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that his Mysterious Heaven Skill had broken through, which meant he could continue to Cultivate Tang Sect's ultimate skills.
"Teacher, I succeeded!"
In his excitement, Tang San also wanted to share the joy of success with his teacher.
After all, this also meant that the teacher's theory was correct.
Only.
He turned his head only to find that his teacher, for some reason, was lying motionless on the ground.
"Teacher…"
Tang San was greatly alarmed and hurried forward to check his condition, only then discovering that he had been poisoned.
Looking at his unconscious teacher, Tang San fell silent.
For some reason, he suddenly inexplicably recalled Li Tian's words.
"I'm afraid he'll kill me because he can't defeat the Spirit Beast."
He asked himself, if he hadn't been reborn twice, if he didn't know Tang Sect's ultimate skills.
He would definitely have died here today.
Li Tian was actually right, Teacher… he really seems a bit weak.
But it's okay.
At least the teacher's theory is correct; he will make up for the shortcomings in strength.
Tang San began to detoxify Yu Xiaogang.
That bit of poison was naturally no difficulty for Tang San, a master of poison.
It was quickly dealt with.
However, it would take some time for Yu Xiaogang to wake up, so Tang San carried him out of the Soul Hunting Forest.
And got into a carriage back to Notting School.
