Two hours passed…
Everything in reality returned to its normal course.
Dugu Bo unleashed a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison, focusing it with lightning speed on the Man Faced Demon Spider hanging on the tree, completely unaware of what had already transpired.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse was cleaned up by Dugu Bo, leaving no trace, which also indicated how potent the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison was.
"Watch out!"
Dugu Bo pushed Zhou Sidong away, only relaxing after witnessing the Man Faced Demon Spider being completely corroded by his snake venom.
"Thanks, Senior Dugu." Zhou Sidong said with a smile, patting his chest and feeling extremely fortunate.
"No need to thank me. We can't stay here long. Let's get going," Dugu Bo urged. The old man and the young man set off again on their journey to find a Soul Ring.
The next morning.
Dugu Bo and Zhou Sidong walked out of the forest one after the other.
"Thank you for your company, Senior Dugu. I've been away from home for many days, and it's time for me to go back."
Zhou Sidong had encountered a hundred-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider the previous day. Finally, under Dugu Bo's witness, he pretended to absorb a Soul Ring and spent the night in the forest. Eventually, he and Dugu Bo walked out of the forest together.
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. "You really don't want me to see you home?"
Zhou Sidong shook his head with a smile, "No need. I know the way home. Besides, I'm just a kid walking down the street. I don't believe there's some psycho who'd target me."
"Hahaha!"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, "You're a funny kid. It's a shame you already have a teacher, otherwise, this old man would have taken you as a disciple. Alright, I've been gone for days, and if I don't go back soon, my granddaughter will start worrying."
Before leaving, Dugu Bo added, "Those three conditions still stand. I keep my word. If you need to find me, just go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and find my granddaughter. Her name is Dugu Yan. Remember that."
After saying this, Dugu Bo transformed into a green light and soared into the sky until he disappeared from sight.
"Goodbye, Senior Dugu!"
Zhou Sidong waved his hand.
"Dugu Bo has been confirmed to have left," Xiao Xue reminded.
After confirming Dugu Bo had left, Zhou Sidong revealed a pair of golden wings on his back, and, combined with the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone's flight skill, he quickly flew towards Notting City.
After returning, he would enjoy a leisurely vacation and, at the same time, train and hone himself.
Time passed quickly, like a white horse galloping past a crevice.
In the blink of an eye, six years had passed.
The once-tender child had grown into a graceful twelve-year-old youth. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and red lips. His flowing purple hair, just like his mother Bibi Dong's, was secured at the back of his head with a bun.
During these six years, Zhou Sidong had been staying in Notting City, silently following Xiao Xue's training schedule. His Soul Power had increased from the initial thirty-three levels to now surpassing the fortieth level. Two years ago, he had absorbed his first ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, and his Soul Power had finally settled at level forty-eight.
His true Soul Power was at (Level Forty-Eight), but in the eyes of his mother and father, their son only had level thirty-one Soul Power.
However, it was precisely because of this that the couple felt genuinely proud.
Witnessing their son grow up from a child, they were the only ones who truly understood the hardships along the way.
That day, the couple made a decision: they would confess everything to their son that night, and hand over some items they had retrieved from a coffin to Zhou Sidong.
It was time their son knew some things.
Today, Notting Primary Soul Master Academy was unusually lively because a batch of students was graduating.
Some of them had received invitations from intermediate Soul Master academies, while others were going elsewhere to continue their Soul Master journeys.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhou Sidong were among those graduating.
Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.
Tang San and Xiao Wu sat in front of the Grandmaster. Six years had passed, and both Tang San and Xiao Wu had grown up, one a young man and the other a young woman.
Tang San wore a blue shirt, had short hair, and stood about one meter seventy-five centimeters tall. He had a handsome appearance, not overly handsome, but rather the kind that was pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Wu was gracefully slender, already developing into a beautiful young woman. Her long, slender legs were elegant, and her figure was beginning to take shape. She still had her unchanging hairstyle, the scorpion tail braid, and two pairs of pink rabbit ears.
"Xiao San, you've finally graduated. Time really flies; six years have passed so quickly," Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but lament the relentless passage of time. Six years had gone by, and he, Yu Xiaogang, had aged, with lines etched on his face.
In contrast, his disciple, who hadn't even been as tall as him back then, had now surpassed him in Soul Power and knowledge. Yu Xiaogang felt both gratified and moved.
"Have you thought about where you'll go next?" Yu Xiaogang asked, posing a question that also puzzled Tang San.
Tang San had lived in Notting City for six years, and now that he had suddenly graduated, he felt a bit unaccustomed.
To be honest, many intermediate Soul Master Academies had already contacted Tang San, offering to waive all fees and unconditionally recruit Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Tang San was also quite conflicted about this.
"Please enlighten me, Teacher," Tang San asked, hoping his teacher would give him some advice.
Hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang understood that things were half done. He continued, "I suggest you go to Soto City. There is a Shrek Academy outside the city, and I believe it would be extremely suitable for you."
"Shrek Academy?"
Xiao Wu took out a stack of invitation letters from other academies from her bag and looked through them. Ultimately, she shook her head, "I've never heard of this academy. Master, what kind of academy is it?"
Tang San also looked at Yu Xiaogang with confusion.
"Well asked!"
Yu Xiaogang smiled slightly, stood up with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "Shrek Academy is a special academy. Since its establishment twenty years ago, it has only accepted forty-two students, and only fourteen have graduated from it."
Yu Xiaogang's words instantly caught the attention of Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Shrek Academy? Twenty years, only forty-two students recruited, and only fourteen graduates so far. What about the remaining students?" Tang San asked.
Yu Xiaogang said, "Shrek Academy has a special rule. Students are only allowed to graduate when they reach the age of twenty and their Soul Power breaks through to level forty. Most of those who don't graduate haven't reached this threshold. Some are out hunting Soul Beasts and ultimately end up in a Soul Beast's belly. Such cases are very common."
"More importantly…" Yu Xiaogang played coy.
Tang San and Xiao Wu listened with particular care. They'd never heard of Shrek Academy, yet it had so many hidden rules.
Moreover, it was being evaluated like this by the Master, so it must have its extraordinary aspects.
"The founder of Shrek Academy is a Soul Sage, and he once enjoyed a great reputation in the Soul Master world. Furthermore, the teaching staff under him is extremely impressive, definitely better than those advanced academies!"
