Star Dou Great Forest.
Su Yan kept cracking the melon seeds Ah Yin and the others had shelled while he started talking again.
[Su Yan: Let's keep talking about Tang Ya. After entering Shrek Academy, Tang Ya set up a grilled-fish stall for Huo Yuhao so she could cover his living costs and tuition, helping him earn money.]
[Liu Erlong: Just like Su Yan said last time—even the Child of Destiny has to sell grilled fish?]
[Loves Eating Carrots: In your World, doesn't Spirit Hall hand out subsidies anymore?]
[Bibi Dong: Spirit Hall's gone; are you going to pay them?]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Xiao Wu, you might as well kill us all with laughter.]
[Ma Xiaotao: Yes, yes, we can collect wages too; the three Great Empires issue them.]
[Su Yan: Stop joking. Spirit Hall gave every Spirit Master on the continent a free stipend; Spirit Hall trained spirit masters—Spirit Masters whose origins were irrelevant.]
[Su Yan: What you get is called a salary; different words, different meanings. And it's only available in Shrek City—no comparison with Spirit Hall, okay?]
Dou 2.
Shrek Academy.
Ma Xiaotao felt a bit depressed.
Was Spirit Hall really so good?
[Ma Xiaotao: Old AncestorXiao Wu, was Spirit Hall truly that great?]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Not great—overbearing—but you really could collect money anywhere and do absolutely nothing; it was all free.]
[Group Member Number Nine: Exactly! Not only did you do nothing, you could still turn on Spirit Hall after growing up—tell me, what's wrong with Spirit Hall?]
[Liu Erlong: Xiaotao, if you don't believe it, come see for yourself. Though the Old Woman's a bit crazy, everything Su Yan mentioned really did exist.]
[Ma Xiaotao: Bibi Dong, don't you still have one teleport left? Give it to me so I can come study Spirit Hall's brand of justice.]
Spirit Hall.
Popes Bedchamber.
Bibi Dong smiled when she saw that message.
Hu Liena said half-laughing, half-crying, "Her little abacus is practically slapping me in the face."
[Hu Liena: It's a one-time reward—what if you come and can't get back?]
[Ma Xiaotao: If I can't return, how about I stick with you guys?]
[Bibi Dong: Sorry, Xiaotao. This Supreme Pontiff has her eye on the Blue Silver Saintess; the Fire Phoenix Saintess isn't currently within my range for taking Disciples.]
[Liu Erlong: Hahaha!!]
Dou 2.
Tang Ya was about to explode with anger right then.
What?
Bibi Dong, you bastard, you're still thinking of taking me as your Disciple?
Am I insane?
I'd go and acknowledge you as my master?
[I Want to Revive the Tang Sect: All of you, enough! Hurry up and tell me how I become an Evil Spirit Master in the future!]
[Group Member Number Nine: Didn't you say you didn't believe it?]
[Winter Cutie: Selective belief.]
[Su Yan: Next, Huo Yuhao starts his cheat-powered rampage, winning the freshman assessment final with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao; Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Caitou all join the Tang Sect.]
[Su Yan: At that point the Tang Sect finally looks hopeful—more people, all geniuses—but Tang Ya's heart begins to change. Because Huo Yuhao's group are the new Shrek Seven Devils, their talent is so outstanding Tang Ya starts feeling inferior, sensing the revival of Tang Sect is impossibly far away.]
[Su Yan: Later, while Huo Yuhao and the rest were off at the Continental High-Level Spirit-Master Tournament, Tang Ya finally awakened her Spirit's innate gift of devouring life.]
[Su Yan: Every night after school she'd slip out of the academy, find dense forests, release her Blue Silver Grass, Bind the plants, and absorb their vitality to aid her cultivation. With that devouring gift, Tang Ya's cultivation speed skyrocketed day by day!]
[Su Yan: And here comes the ridiculous part—when Huo Yuhao won the championship and came back, becoming lifelong Shrek Seven Devils, Tang Ya actually left alone, returning to Heaven Dou City to rebuild her Tang Sect and take revenge.]
[Su Yan: I felt like prying her skull open to take a look—Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Bei Bei, Xiao Xiao, Caitou were still back at Shrek Academy. What kind of Tang Sect are you reviving? If you're going back to build the Tang Sect and get revenge, why not call those Tang Sect members along?]
[Su Yan: Give you a chance and you still blow it!]
[Everyone: ???]
[Ma Xiaotao: Why did Xiaoya leave alone?]
[I Am an Orphan: Probably because of inferiority—felt too weak, the partners too strong to stay with.]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Oh, I think I get it; kind of like how Xiangxiang could never blend into the Shrek Seven Devils?]
[Su Yan: Feels similar, but completely different, because Tang Sect was founded by Tang Ya—she's the core.]
[Liu Erlong: What was Xiaotao doing at that time?]
[Su Yan: Hah, your Peach was being eroded by evil fire, waiting to join the glorious evolution—Fire Phoenix Saintess.]
[Ma Xiaotao: ...]
Dou 2.
Tang Ya's mood was complicated right now.
Everything Su Yan had said—was that what would truly happen later?
Would she really feel inferior because of her talent, believe she couldn't fit in with them, and finally leave alone to return to Heaven Dou City?
Maybe.
Tang Ya sighed inwardly, not sure what she was thinking.
[Su Yan: Back in Heaven Dou City, within a month Tang Ya tried to find former acquaintances of the Tang Sect and friends of her parents, but they all avoided her like the plague, letting her taste the fickleness of the World; the hatred she'd suppressed could no longer be controlled, and she headed for Iron Blood Sect to take revenge.]
[Su Yan: The first time she used her Dark Blue Silver Grass to kill and devour a Disciple of Iron Blood Sect's life force, she inevitably became an Evil Spirit Master.]
[Su Yan: As they say, turning good cuts your power by a third, turning evil boosts it tenfold. Tang Ya almost wiped out Iron Blood Sect alone; she nearly died at Tie Li's hand when a black-robed elder from Holy Spirit Cult appeared, gravely wounded Tie Li, helped Tang Ya finish her revenge, and ultimately took her away.]
[Su Yan: From then on, Tang Sect LeaderTang Ya was dead; the Blue Silver Saintess made her dazzling debut. In just a few years she leveled up even faster than Huo Yuhao and the rest, and by the next Spirit Master Tournament she'd soared to seven rings.]
[Su Yan: I'll skip the details. In the very end, after Huo Yuhao had fully grown, he rescued her from Holy Spirit Cult and even found her a 190-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor to save her life.]
[Everyone: Six-six-six.]
[I Am an Orphan: Tang Ya's life is way more exciting than Ma Xiaotao's.]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: The Dark Avenger is indeed terrifying—just like Su Yan said, you're the born saint-body of an Evil Spirit Master.]
[Tang Yuehua: I wonder if I can turn dark too?]
[Liu Erlong: That cultivation speed is just perverse!]
[Bibi Dong: Sure enough, you have to turn dark—only then can you become stronger.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Luckily Aunt Ah Yin didn't turn dark; otherwise she'd be terrifying—probably catch up to Bibi Dong in a few years.]
[Group Member Number Nine: Let me guess—after Tang Ya was rescued, her talent became mediocre again, right?]
[Su Yan: Exactly, so that's my earlier answer—join Holy Spirit Cult and take off instantly. Of course! An Evil Spirit Master is still an Evil Spirit Master; once an Evil Spirit Master, forever one—don't pull the 'driven by circumstance' line, or 'lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot'; either stay evil or die.]
[Bibi Dong: Wrong! Dead wrong! Who says Tang Ya can only soar by joining Holy Spirit Cult?]
[Bibi Dong: Dark Avenger, this seat thinks highly of you—come to Spirit Hall and acknowledge me as your master. Follow me, Bibi Dong, and you'll still be the Blue Silver Saintess, but one respected by all, a Blue Silver Saintess who roots out evil and promotes good; I guarantee you won't degenerate into a murderous Evil Spirit Master.]
[Everyone: ???]
[Su Yan: I think that's pretty good—what's the point of reviving some random Tang Sect? If you're going to revive something, why not revive Spirit Hall—be someone who contributes to the continent's people, a pioneer of great ideals, wipe out all Evil Spirit Masters, and return a bright, clear Douluo World 2.]
King Tang God: ???
