Chapter 46: Everything As Usual

Star Dou Great Forest

Gu Yi returned to where the Shrek Seven Devils and others were.

"Isn't Xiao San too impulsive?" Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a Man Faced Demon Spider in front of him.

Gu Yi naturally noticed that the level of this spirit beast had long surpassed the spirit ring limit set by Yu Xiaogang. What's written by someone who hasn't experienced it firsthand can hardly convince anyone. From this point onwards, Tang San had actually surpassed the limit set by Yu Xiaogang. After this, each spirit ring exceeded the limit, and the sixth spirit ring in the future would be a hundred-thousand year old spirit ring, although it came from Xiao Wu's sacrifice.

Not long after, Gu Yi saw that Eight Spider Lances had grown on Tang San's back, looking very daunting.

"I didn't expect that even in this situation, Tang San would still acquire the Eight Spider Lances," Gu Yi muttered to himself. Subconsciously, Gu Yi looked towards the sky. Perhaps there was a mysterious force behind all this.

Moreover, Gu Yi also felt that Xiao Wu's aura had changed, becoming much stronger than before, apparently reaching the level of a Rank 30 Spirit Elder. This time, without experiencing the matter with the Titan Giant Ape, what reason did Xiao Wu have to leave the team and condense her spirit rings?

Gu Yi pondered, and then saw Ma Hongjun foolishly approaching, about to collide with the Eight Spider Lances with Tang San body. Gu Yi understood what was happening now. He didn't hide his figure anymore, darted out, and pulled Ma Hongjun back just as he was about to be struck by the Eight Spider Lances.

"You brat, seeking death, don't you know what you're dealing with?" Gu Yi scolded, then threw Ma Hongjun aside and said to Tang San, "Treat these Eight Spider Lances as part of your body, just like controlling your hands and feet, retract them." Hearing this, Tang San focused on his back, and soon the Eight Spider Lances were retracted.

"Does anyone know what's going on here? Correct answers get 10 credits," Gu Yi asked, wanting to test everyone. Although external spirit bones were not well-known among the younger generation, they had been mentioned in the test papers he had given. As long as they took it seriously, it was impossible not to know.

Everyone fell into thought, but ultimately, due to the short time of study, they didn't know.

Oscar glanced at Tang San's back and thought of a possibility. "External spirit bone, is it an external spirit bone, Big Brother Yi?" Gu Yi snapped his fingers, confirming Oscar's answer.

"Well said, you all know about spirit bones," Gu Yi looked at them and continued, "A human body can bear up to six spirit bones, but beyond that, there is a special type of spirit bone, the external spirit bone. It doesn't belong to the six, it's invaluable, and it can keep improving with the spirit master's strength. The external spirit bone also has one difference from other spirit bones." As he spoke, Gu Yi glanced at Tang San.

"Ordinary spirit bones, even if fused into the body, can be taken out as long as the body is cut open, and the fused spirit bones can be extracted and reintegrated. But external spirit bones are different. In the early stage, they can be forcibly removed, but after the user and the spirit bone are completely integrated, even if this person is killed, the external spirit bone cannot be obtained." After hearing Gu Yi's words, Tang San felt a chill down his spine. Obviously, he hadn't completely integrated the external spirit bone into his body yet.

If discovered, it would probably lead to a scene of murder and bone robbery.

Tang San cautiously looked at Gu Yi. He was the only one present who could threaten him. If he harbored ill intentions, Tang San wouldn't be able to resist at all. Since practicing the Demonic Seed, Gu Yi's perception of various emotions was extraordinary. Naturally, he could feel Tang San's vigilance.

"Alright, everyone go back and write a report on what happened. I'll grade it based on that. Remember, if you write nonsense, don't blame me for using school rules," Gu Yi said helplessly. Just now, he had gone out to battle the Titan Giant Ape, and he was really overwhelmed. After all, with his current cultivation level, he couldn't split himself.

"Vice Dean, did you see that amazing sword light just now?" Xiao Wu pretended to ask curiously. Now she urgently wanted to know what was going on, or her heart wouldn't settle. The worried expression on Xiao Wu's face revealed a different side of her to Gu Yi.

"That sword light was released by me."

"Big Brother Yi, it's really was you!"

"Big Brother Yi, your swordsmanship is so advanced!"

.....

"Previously, I felt a powerful spirit beast attacking us, so I went out to fight it." Gu Yi explained briefly.

"How was it, did Big Brother Yi kill that spirit beast in the end?" Ma Hongjun suddenly interjected. Originally a commonplace question, but it made Xiao Wu's face turn pale in an instant. At this moment, Tang San was pondering the matter of the external spirit bone and did not notice Xiao Wu's expression.

The next words from Gu Yi made Xiao Wu feel relieved.

"No, that spirit beast suddenly left," Gu Yi said calmly. He glanced subtly at Xiao Wu and continued, "Alright, if there's nothing else, let's go back to the academy." This time, the speculation had come true, and Gu Yi felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

After returning, he must study the path of the physical body.

Throughout this journey, Gu Yi could feel the demon seed in his spiritual sea constantly growing, much faster than before. What had Yu Xiaogang done exactly?

Tang San and Xiao Wu's spirit skills still hadn't changed, remaining the same as in the original story: Spider Web Restraint and Teleportation.

.....

Shrek Academy.

"What exactly are you doing, Xiao Gang?" Flender looked at the disheveled Yu Xiaogang, who didn't care about his appearance at all and smelled bad, like he had fallen into a latrine and couldn't get clean no matter how much he washed.

"Flender, this is my new research. If successful, it might help me break through the level 30 barrier," Yu Xiaogang dared not tell Flender the truth and could only make excuses. Based on Flender and Gu Yi's relationship, if he found out he had learned Gu Yi's techniques without permission, it would be strange if he didn't say anything. Besides, how could a grandmaster like himself steal things? It was just borrowing ideas.

This was how Yu Xiaogang comforted himself.

With Yu Xiaogang's explanation, Flender's doubts were dispelled. This old friend and good brother had long been deeply obsessed with breaking through level 30. What if he succeeded this time?

After Flender left, Yu Xiaogang fell into contemplation. The effect of Luo San Pao had become minimal, and his body had even developed some resistance to it. The stench was no longer torture for him. He had to think of other ways.

In these two days, his spiritual power had increased significantly, and his memory had also improved. However, even he hadn't noticed that some of his emotions had been amplified. For example, he would never have explained Flender's question before.
