34 Chapter 34: They are monsters

Tang San who was absorbing his Spirit Ring was in a critical moment if he was disturbed his Spirit Power could run rampant killing him in the process. Thus, Zhao Wuji was taking his protection very seriously and was not going to allow anyone to disturb him.

"Teacher Zhao." Zeng Xin and Xiao Wu emerged one after another.

Everyone was relieved to see Zeng Xin and Xiao Wu arriving safely.

"Xiao Wu, you're fine, great!" Ning Rongrong ran over and took Xiao Wu's hand. After several days of working together, Ning Rongrong was slowly integrating with the rest of the Shrek Students despite starting on a bad footing with them.

"Xiao Wu, do you know how anxious and worried Xiao San was after you were captured by the Titan Giant Ape. He asked me for a mushroom sausage and went to get you back regardless of his own life." Oscar informed.

"How is Xiao San?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly.

"He's okay, he's currently absorbing his third Spirit Ring." Zhao Wuji said, stepping away with everyone, revealing Tang San who was in the middle of the group.

Currently, Tang San's body was enveloped in a bloody mist, you could hear his bones crackling from time to time, he had a painful expression on his face, his body was close to collapsing.

"How did he absorbing a Spirit Ring turn him into this?" Xiao Wu asked anxiously.

"He absorbed the Spirit Ring of this Man Faced Demon Spider, right." Zeng Xin glanced at the body of the Man Faced Demon Spider beside them.

"Yes, after Tang San got the mushroom sausage from Oscar, he chased after you guys. He met this Man Faced Demon Spider halfway through, and when we caught up with him, he had already killed the Man Faced Demon Spider. "Zhao Wuji nodded.

"This Man Faced Demon Spider was chased and injured by the Unrivalled Dragon Serpent Duo and was fleeing here. They were originally capturing it for Meng Yiran but it was killed by Xiao San. When they found out, despite being really mad and frustrated, they didn't do anything to Xiao San because of Brother Fan. They soon left to find another Spirit Beast for Meng Yiran." Oscar added.

"The cultivation base of this Man Faced Demon Spider has exceeded 2000 years, and the limit of the third Spirit Ring is only 1,700 years. Brother San is currently in danger." Xiao Wu said worriedly.

"He will survive it." Zeng Xin comforted Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, tell us about what happened after you were captured by the Titan Giant Ape." Ning Rongrong said.

"After I was captured by the Titan Giant Ape, Brother Fan quickly caught up. After fighting with the Titan Giant Ape for a while, he was able to successfully rescue me from the Titan Giant Ape." Xiao Wu narrated.

"Maybe because of the pressure of the Titan Giant Ape, my Spirit Power broke through to Rank 30. On the way back, I met a suitable Spirit Beast. Brother Fan helped me hunt it down. After absorbing the Spirit Ring, we immediately rushed back."

They had prepared this answer in case they were asked about what happened.

"Your Spirit Power has broken through to Rank 30?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Xiao Wu nodded.

"Xiao Wu, you seem to be younger than Xiao San." Zhao Wuji commented.

"I'm a few months younger than him." Xiao Wu confirmed.

"You little monsters are really amazing." Zhao Wuji said happily.

"Brother, you must survive." Xiao Wu wasn't happy for breaking through to Rank 30, she was currently busy worrying about Tang San.

Tang San had only one thought in his heart at this time, and that was that Xiao Wu was waiting for him to save her.

Finally, in front of Tang San's tenacious willpower, the energy in the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring began to compromise under his onslaught and it was beginning to be absorbed by Tang San.

He no longer bled from the rampant Spirit Power of the Man Faced Demon Spider in him, Tang San slowly began to relax as he emitted a faint blue light.

"The most dangerous moment has passed. The next step is simply transforming the Spirit Power into his own." Zeng Xin comforted the nervous Xiao Wu.

The worrying Xiao Wu finally eased a bit, but she was still nervous and would probably calm down after Tang San finishes absorbing the Spirit Ring.

With the release of the blue light, Blue Silver Grass began to slowly grow around Tang San's body. Before it was Blue-Black in colour, currently it was Blue Purple.

"Ah--"

Just when everyone thought that the absorption of the Spirit Ring was about to be completed, Tang San suddenly let out a scream, he furrowed his eyebrows as his entire upper body arched making him look a little frightening.

"Brother." Xiao Wu exclaimed, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails pierced into her palm, but she didn't notice at all.

The pained expression on Tang San's face gradually dissipated, and the Blue Silver Grass that had grown twisted as they wrapped him in a huge cocoon.

Time passed slowly.

Everyone was waiting anxiously, especially Xiao Wu, who had been silently guarding Tang San and paying attention to any changes in Tang San.

"Ahh—" A low groan broke Xiao Wu out of her stupor, she quickly looked up.

The rewinding Blue Silver Grass slowly stretched out, revealing Tang San inside. Xiao Wu couldn't help but blush, because Tang San's clothes had been ripped by the eight spider legs before, he was practically naked.

Tang San slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Xiao Wu in front of him, he almost immediately rushed to hug Xiao Wu, and tremblingly said, "Am I dreaming? Xiao Wu, is it really you?"

"Brother, it's my fault for making you worry." Xiao Wu let Tang San hold her, she choked back tears as she spoke.

"Fool, it's because I'm not strong enough and not capable of protecting you that this happened." Tang San shook his head and wiped the tears from the corner of Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Although we encountered a lot of trouble this time, the gain's were equally huge. Oscar obtained his third Spirit Ring, Tang San and Xiao Wu both broke through to Rank 30, and also obtained their Spirit Rings. It's time to return to the Academy." Zhao Wuji spoke.
