Bab 260: Chapter 260: That's a Chrysanthemum
...
Tang San and Xiao Wu enjoyed their intimate moment for over ten seconds, which made Zeng Yi a bit uncomfortable.
"Cough, cough."
The sound of Zeng Yi's light cough interrupted the two of them, causing them to abruptly stop and blush with embarrassment, releasing each other's embrace.
Oscar chuckled, "Xiao Wu, you're too impatient. As Xiao San is now, we have plenty of time to be together. No need to rush."
Hearing Oscar's teasing words only made Xiao Wu more shy. She clung to Tang San's arm, leaning against him and dare not lift her head to look at them.
Grandmaster, watching his disciples and Xiao Wu, shook his head helplessly. He sighed inwardly, young people nowadays! They're so open-minded. These two kids aren't even fourteen yet, but they've matured so fast.
Tang San also felt a bit awkward and said, "Alright, Master, let's go find the others."
Grandmaster nodded and continued leading the way deeper into the forest of the academy.
The simulated training environments are usually chosen based on the Spirit Master's Martial Spirit and attributes. For example, Dai Mubai, whose Martial Spirit is White Tiger, as the king of beasts, naturally trains in the forest, where significant auxiliary effects can be obtained. Similarly, Ma Hongjun, with his fire attribute martial Spirit, gains greater improvement in a hot environment.
Soon, Grandmaster found the other members of Shrek Seven Devils.
"Third Brother! You've finally returned!" Seeing Tang San's figure, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She ran excitedly toward their group. Tang San treated her quite well within the team, given that she was a support-type Spirit Master with a very fragile defense, unlike Oscar, who had received training from Zeng Yi. Tang San equipped her with a complete set of hidden weapons for self defense, making her, a seemingly delicate support-type Spirit Master, possess considerable self-protection capabilities. It could be said that even a defenseless Spirit Ancestor would be at risk facing her hidden weapon attacks. For this reason, Ning Rongrong was extremely grateful to Tang San.
Upon seeing Tang San, Ma Hongjun also happily came over and hugged him warmly. Zhu Zhuqing, who had a cold temperament, smiled and expressed her joy for Tang San's return.
However, Tang San didn't see Dai Mubai and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did Senior Dai go?"
Grandmaster replied, "He is currently breaking through to the 40th rank of Spirit power. Let's not disturb him."
"By the way, how was your cultivation during these six months? Don't let your studies of poison arts with Dugu Bo affect your progress. Everyone's cultivation has greatly improved during the time you were absent." Grandmaster couldn't help but worry about Tang San's cultivation. Each one of them was a genius, and once the gap widens, it becomes difficult to catch up.
Ma Hongjun, with a smug face, said, "Third Brother, I'm already a Spirit Elder now, with a Rank 32 of Spirit power. Is that alright?"
Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Oscar didn't hold back from hitting back, "Fatty, why are you proud? You're the lowest among us in terms of Spirit power, and you're still bragging?"
Being mocked by Oscar, Ma Hongjun wanted to retort but couldn't think of a good response since what Oscar said was true. His expression drooped.
In Tang San and Zeng Yi's absence, the rest of the team was inspired by their crazy training attitude, which boosted their cultivation tremendously. Zhu Zhuqing had already reached the thirty-third rank of Spirit power, and Xiao Wu was the most astonishing, reaching the thirty-fifth rank of Spirit power. In just half a year, she had achieved a four-rank increase, clearly demonstrating how fast her innate full Spirit power cultivation speed was.
With Zeng Yi's training and guidance, Oscar also reached the thirty-fourth rank of Spirit power. Even Ning Rongrong, who had the weakest Spirit power in the team, had caught up to Ma Hongjun's 32 rank.
The most embarrassing part for Ma Hongjun was that Oscar, who used to be easily bullied, was no longer the same. Oscar, under Zeng Yi's guidance, had improved both in physical fitness and combat skills, surpassing Ma Hongjun in both areas. Without using martial Spirits, Ma Hongjun could hardly defend himself against Oscar's punches and kicks. Even when using their martial Spirits, defeating Oscar required considerable effort.
Keep in mind that Oscar had a spirit with a food Martial Spirit, making him an auxiliary-type Spirit master. This made Ma Hongjun's position in the team extremely awkward.
He also wanted to cultivate diligently to improve his position, but his self-discipline was not particularly strong, and the flaw in his Martial Spirit caused him great discomfort due to the Evil Fire's burning sensation. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't indulge himself for a day, making it challenging for him to calm down and cultivate.
However, it had to be said that Heaven Dou City truly deserved to be the Imperial capital of the Empire; the girls here were truly charming!
"Now everyone has made significant progress in strength. Fatty and Rongrong are both at the thirty-second rank of Spirit power, Zhuqing is at the thirty-third rank, Oscar is at the thirty-fourth rank, Xiao Wu is at the thirty-fifth rank, and Dai Mubai is pushing for the fortieth rank. What's most terrifying is that Zeng Yi has already reached the forty-third rank of Spirit Ancestor." Grandmaster reported on the situation of their teammates to Tang San, and then intentionally glanced at Zeng Yi.
He knew that his disciple was exceptionally outstanding and could hardly find many people on the entire continent who could compare with Tang San. However, Zeng Yi's existence had subverted his understanding. To be able to achieve the fortieth rank in such a short time, if he didn't know Zeng Yi's character, he would have suspected that Zeng Yi had been hiding his Spirit power level.
Moreover, Control System Spirit masters were universally recognized as the strongest. Not only could they thoroughly restrain their opponents in one-on-one battles, but even the most powerful Assault System Spirit masters felt unable to exert their full strength when faced with Control System Spirit Masters. The battle would be completely under the control of the Control System Spirit Master.
Not only that, Control System Spirit Masters also held the position of leaders within a team, able to influence the outcome of a battle. Even on the battlefield, they played a much more significant role than Assault System Spirit Masters. That was why Yu Xiaogang had encouraged Tang San to pursue the path of a Control System Spirit master.
Indeed, Tang San's path as a Control System Spirit Master seemed to be very successful so far. However, this was not evident in Zeng Yi.
Yu Xiaogang had never seen such an exaggerated Spirit Master like Zeng Yi before. With combat strength surpassing his Spirit power by one rank, his terrifying swordsmanship sent chills down peoples spines, and his speed was unpredictable. It was difficult to accurately define him according to any standard. Assault System? Agility System?
In Zeng Yi's own words, he was a sword cultivator.
A sword cultivator? That was a profession Yu Xiaogang had never heard of. While there were sword using Spirit masters in the Spirit Master world, no one could compare to Zeng Yi. Yu Xiaogang dare say that not even Chen Xin, known as the Sword Douluo, reached Zeng Yi's level during his younger days.
It was as if Zeng Yi was born for the [Way of the Sword]. Perhaps the sword cultivation on the entire continent would change because of him and become a different cultivation system.
Zhu Zhuqing was the representative example of the influence on the Control System as her beast martial Spirit became much more powerful after learning swordsmanship.
"Yi Ge is already a Spirit Ancestor!" Tang San, amazed, looked at Zeng Yi, clearly stunned by Grandmaster's words.
Seeing Tang San's surprised expression, Zeng Yi smiled and nodded.
Tang San could hardly believe it. This cultivation speed was too abnormal! He had thought his own thirty-seventh rank of Spirit power was terrifying enough, but now he discovered there was someone even more insane.
However, he was genuinely happy that his teammates had made such great progress. After all, their overall strength had improved significantly, which would lead to excellent results for Shrek Academy in the upcoming competition, even without Zeng Yi. That was what Grandmaster had in mind.
"By the way, can you call Senior Dai here? I think I can help him break through the bottleneck of his cultivation." Tang San thought for a moment and spoke.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Tang San smiled and said, "I found some precious treasures from Senior Dugu Bo, which, perhaps due to the environment, are very suitable for everyone's cultivation. They will provide significant assistance."
"Oh?"
Grandmaster looked at Tang San in surprise. Breaking through the bottleneck of Spirit power cultivation normally required one to rely on their own efforts with constant dedication. Even Grandmaster, despite his deep understanding of Martial Spirits, hadn't found a shortcut. Naturally, Tang San's words piqued his interest.
But Grandmaster was a wise person, and soon realized the meaning behind Tang San's words. He asked, "What you want to give them are the items you brought back from Dugu Bo, right?"
Tang San nodded.
After some contemplation, Grandmaster said, "Using medicine to enhance strength, won't there be any side effects? Some Spirit masters have tried cultivating in this way, but the results were not ideal. You are all already geniuses who don't need to take such shortcuts. If things backfire, it may affect your future development."
Tang San confidently replied, "Master, don't worry! The things I want to give everyone are customized according to their unique characteristics, and there won't be any side effects!"
Hearing Tang San's words, everyone wore a curious expression. They were very eager to know what treasures Tang San brought.
As for Zeng Yi, upon hearing that Tang San wanted to give something to each person, he was certain that Tang San must have also prepared a precious herb for him. This touched Zeng Yi's heart, as he realized what a great friend Tang San was.
He was now curious about what kind of herb Tang San had prepared for him. Zeng Yi was not familiar with the details of the original story, and couldn't remember the name of the herb Tang San had prepared for them. But he genuinely admired Tang San's knowledge in medicine.
As the protagonist of the original story, Zeng Yi admitted he couldn't compare to Tang San, who came from another world. He was only slightly more powerful. However, in terms of knowledge, Tang San far exceeded him by leaps and bounds.
It made sense though, Tang San had been a disciple of Tang Sect, a renowned sect in the Martial world, while Zeng Yi was just an ordinary college student; how could he compare? If it weren't for the system, which gave him certain advantages and the Sword Art, he would be nothing right now!
However, the fact that Tang San's knowledge of medicine from his previous life could be applied in this world was impressive.
Soon, they managed to find Dai Mubai.
Seeing Tang San, Dai Mubai was delighted and gave him a hug.
Dai Mubai, aside from Xiao Wu, was the first of the Shrek Seven Devils to meet Tang San, so seeing him again was particularly heartwarming. He reached out to put his arm around Tang San's shoulder and said, "Fatty said you brought us gifts and can help me break through the bottleneck. Show them to me!"
As good friends, Dai Mubai didn't feel the need to be polite.
Tang San smiled slightly and took out a plant from his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
It was a flower, about the size of a hand, with beautiful purple petals. Each petal appeared to be made of velvety fluff, resembling a toy more than a real flower. The central stamen rose half a foot above the petals, shimmering with a faint golden brilliance.
Although the flower Tang San held looked peculiar, they didn't find it ugly but rather beautiful. The entire flower appeared as a unified whole, and the longer they looked at it, the more beautiful it seemed.
Although Zeng Yi didn't know the name of the herb, he felt that the flower resembled a Chrysanthemum .
A hairy Chrysanthemum ?
Zeng Yi couldn't help but think of something, and his gaze became somewhat peculiar.
