After the big cake, it was still Big Cake
who put away the immortal grass. The two searched the underground cave for a long time, but only found two. However, the quality of these two plants was even lower than the five-zhu ones they had found earlier.
"Baba, why don't we look in the forest again? Maybe there are more," Tang San suggested.
Tang Hao shook his head. "No, it's too time-consuming to search here, Xiao San. Besides, the Earth Dragon Kings just now were all sixty thousand years old. There's no guarantee there are even stronger spirit beasts here. Even if these factors can be overcome, we can't be sure there are still immortal grasses here."
"The Soul Master Competition is getting closer, Xiao San, you should spend your time cultivating,"
Tang San said helplessly. "But Baba, there are only seven pseudo-immortal grasses here. We only have eight people on the Shrek team now, not enough to go around."
Even if he went back now, he would prefer to give the immortal grass to Ma Hongjun rather than Tai Long, who suddenly showed him so much enthusiasm.
However, Tang Hao's next words changed his mind.
"Xiao San, give the last immortal herb to Tai Long. The Power Clan behind Tai Long once had a connection with our Tang family. As for Ma Hongjun, he's just an ordinary person with five missing organs. Your immortal herb can't heal him, so why waste it on him?"
Like the real immortal herb, the pseudo-immortal herb can only be absorbed by one person. If an immortal herb that can heal Ma Hongjun emerges in the future, it would be truly frustrating if it can't be consumed.
After some thought, Tang San finally agreed to Tang Hao's words.
...
As soon as he returned to Shrek Academy, Tang San gathered everyone.
"Xiao San, what happened?" Dai Mubai asked puzzledly.
Tang San smiled and said, "This time, Baba and I went out soul hunting and found something valuable. We thought we'd bring it back to boost everyone's strength."
"Third brother, show it to me," Ma Hongjun said impatiently.
Tang San glanced at him and smiled as he took out the pseudo-immortal herb.
"These are all immortal herbs. Consuming them will boost everyone's strength without any side effects."
"Boss Dai, these are yours. Just consume them directly and refine them with your spirit power later."
"Xiao Wu, this is yours."
"Rongrong."
Soon, Tang San had only two immortal herbs left.
He smiled and said, "This one's mine."
Seeing that there was still one, Tai Long, a newcomer, withdrew. "Third Young Master, I joined the team later, so I won't share with you."
Ma Hongjun was delighted and reached out to take the immortal herbs.
Unexpectedly, Tang San stepped past him and handed the immortal herbs to Tai Long. "Tai Long, this immortal herb is more suitable for you. Take it and absorb it."
"Thank you, Third Young Master." Tai Long bowed solemnly.
After all, his spirit power was already level 38. After absorbing the immortal herbs, he had a good chance of breaking through to the Soul Sect stage.
Ma Hongjun's face darkened visibly.
However, after noticing Tang Hao staring intently at him, a smile returned to his face.
"Fatty, I have something to tell you." Tang San also knew that doing so would be equivalent to isolating Ma Hongjun.
Before the end of the Soul Master Competition, Ma Hongjun was still valuable to him.
"Fatty, it's not that I don't want to give you the fairy grass, but you deserve better."
Tang San talked a lot. In a nutshell, it was to make a big promise first and stabilize the situation first.
Ma Hongjun had eaten so many big promises that he had long been immune to it.
Due to Tang Hao's power, on the surface, he accepted Tang San's big promise with an excited look, but in his heart he had already cursed Tang San countless times.
That afternoon, the Shrek people completed the absorption of the fairy grass.
Yu Tianheng smiled and said, "Tang San, thank you very much. The fairy grass provided me with two levels of soul power. My soul power is now level 45, and I feel that I can break through another level before the Soul Master Competition begins."
Not only him, but everyone else's spirit power increased by two levels.
This fake immortal grass, after all, wasn't the true immortal grass that grew within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, so its effects were significantly reduced.
Tang San, however, had never obtained immortal grass from the Yin-Yang Eye before, and he had no idea the difference was so significant.
...
That night, the academy's shadow guards expedited a letter to Han Yu.
Opening it, Han Yu immediately recognized it as from the Shrek Academy undercover agent.
"Tang San actually got his hands on the immortal grass, but the effects seem a bit weak."
Han Yu naturally didn't know about Tang San's time in Sunset Forest, but he didn't care. How terrifying was the potential boost from an immortal grass that only increased spirit power by two levels?
"The Asura God brought Tang San to Douluo Continent to make him the heir to the throne, apparently bestowing the continent's fortune upon him alone."
Han Yu felt a sense of frustration. After all he had done, in the end, it was nothing compared to Tang San's chance encounter.
This feeling of being toyed with was truly unpleasant!
Turning to the last page of the letter, the undercover agent actually demanded payment.
"It seems this undercover agent is quite incompetent. Since you volunteered to be this undercover, then hold on."
Han Yu wouldn't give up this covert line until Shrek was disbanded.
He slipped a limited-edition cigarette into the envelope before sending it on.
[With the host's current strength, facing a god directly is courting death. The Ten Thousand Fire System advises that the host proceed step by step!]
Suddenly hearing the voice in his head, Han Yu was speechless. "I'm not that foolish yet. However, I still have to fleece the Asura God."
The Killing God Domain was one thing, but more importantly, Han Yu wanted to meet Tang Chen.
As one of the three peerless Douluos, what a spectacle it would be to have his head taken off and sent to Sea God Island.
That old woman, Poseidon, would probably adore him.
...
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day before the Soul Master Competition.
Han Yu gathered the members of Team Canaan.
"The competition is tomorrow. You are doing very well, and your cultivation has reached the Dean's expectations. Teacher Sun, you have worked hard these days."
Sun Buyu did not dare to take credit for himself, but said modestly, "Dean, this is what I should do."
Han Yu smiled and said, "The upcoming competition is the top priority. Teacher Sun, you still have to work hard for a few months."
After a few pleasantries, Han Yu took out the school uniform.
The main colors of the uniform are black and gray, and it is designed as a windbreaker.
This is a costume that has never been seen in Douluo Continent, and it was designed by Han Yu himself.
The moment it was taken out, everyone, including the two substitutes, couldn't help but light up.
"Wow, this uniform looks so cool on me." Tianyue took the uniform with a look of joy.
"As long as you like it, I designed it myself. You won't find anything exactly like it on the mainland!"
Ling Xiao put on her school uniform, turned up the collar, and hid her face. Then she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Robbery! Hand over your monthly pass!"
Han Yu kicked her angrily. "School uniforms represent the image of the academy, not for you to use as bandits!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
