As the blue light was released, Blue Silver Grass began to appear around Tang San's body, slowly growing out. The volume of the Blue Silver Grass hadn't changed much; compared to when he previously had two Spirit Rings, it was actually a bit thinner. Its original dark green color had also transformed into a blue-purple hue. This was a merged color, no longer appearing in the form of patterns. At this moment, the Blue Silver Grass was about two fingers thick. The biggest difference from before was the luster it possessed. It shimmered as if its blades were coated with a layer of glaze.
The Spirit Power within Tang San's body finally calmed down. He was now drenched in sweat. Although he had successfully absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring, his mind still hadn't recovered from the recent danger.
Gulp!
Tang San couldn't help but swallow hard. He hadn't expected that at the critical moment, it was the spiritual medicine his teacher bought him that saved his life. Tang San now felt that his teacher's kindness to him was truly beyond repayment.
He staggered to his feet and then walked directly toward Yu Xiaogang. He threw himself onto the latter and burst into tears.
"Teacher, you must hold on! Without you, how will I live in the future!"
Yu Xiaogang was still unconscious. However, his breathing had just stabilized, and Tang San's frantic shaking almost caused him to flatline.
Flender, who witnessed this scene, sighed lightly. "Your actions will only make his injuries recover more slowly!" He gently shook his head.
These two, master and disciple, were probably ruined. Yu Xiaogang was physically ruined; he could no longer be considered a man. As for Tang San, in his current state, his talent was being wasted by Yu Xiaogang for nothing. Flender had just sensed a hint of forced growth on him. He had wondered how Tang San could have jumped three levels in such a short time, directly reaching level thirty Spirit Power. It turned out Yu Xiaogang had been behind it, surely using something to forcefully boost his Spirit Power. And it wasn't just a simple one-level increase. Such things all had considerable side effects. They were essentially overdrafting one's talent. Future cultivation would only become increasingly difficult. Tang San's life was pretty much ruined too.
Reminded by Flender, Tang San also felt that his previous actions were a bit too outrageous. Yu Xiaogang was still alive, and he was already wailing as if at a funeral. It was as if the person had already passed away. If Yu Xiaogang were to suddenly wake up, he would surely be angered into unconsciousness again.
He hurriedly stood up and then bowed to Flender. "Dean, thank you for saving me and my teacher!"
Flender simply waved his hand dismissively. "You are all considered Shrek people, so of course I wouldn't stand by and do nothing. It's not safe here; take your teacher and leave!"
Now that Tang San had absorbed the Spirit Ring, his stamina had largely recovered. He was fully capable of carrying Yu Xiaogang out.
After speaking, Flender left first. He didn't go too far, though. Otherwise, if he left and Tang San was targeted by another Spirit Beast right after, wouldn't all his effort have been for nothing?
Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang on his back and then dragged him back to their previous campsite. The other Shrek members hadn't returned; only the two of them were there at the moment.
Soon, three figures returned to the campsite. Tang San was surprised to find that it was Flender, Huo Feng, and Xiao Wu.
There were only two reasons for returning to the campsite. One was like him and Yu Xiaogang, forced to return due to injury. The other was successfully acquiring a Spirit Ring, in which case there was naturally no need to remain deep in the dense forest. Neither Huo Feng nor Xiao Wu were injured. Clearly, they were in the second case: they had successfully obtained their Spirit Rings.
When Flender found them again, Huo Feng and Xiao Wu said they had found suitable Spirit Beasts. They had hunted them down and acquired their Spirit Rings. Although Flender was very shocked, after seeing the two real Spirit Rings, he had no more doubts. He even praised Huo Feng and Xiao Wu in his heart. So worry-free. Good talent and strong strength. Weren't they much better than those two, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang?
Upon returning to the campsite, the two immediately saw Yu Xiaogang lying motionless in the tent. Then, they were completely dumbfounded!
Because of his injuries, Yu Xiaogang's lower body clothing had already been completely removed by Flender earlier. He was now merely wrapped in two strips of cloth. And on the cloth strips, blood had already seeped through. In such a crucial area, the sight was extremely conspicuous.
"Ah!" The next instant, Xiao Wu let out a sharp scream. Why wasn't this old man wearing pants?
She hadn't seen clearly. She had only seen Yu Xiaogang lying there disheveled. Then she immediately closed her eyes. How could Xiao Wu possibly want to look at a greasy middle-aged old man like Yu Xiaogang? If she looked one more time, she might just throw up. But if it were Huo Feng, she wouldn't have reacted this way.
Swish!
Just then, Flender's figure flashed, and he arrived in front of the tent. Then he pulled shut the open tent flap.
"Tang San, why didn't you close the tent!" He reprimanded Tang San. Yu Xiaogang being seen was a minor matter. If Xiao Wu was scared, that would be a big deal.
Tang San stood aside, not daring to speak loudly. "I understand, Dean." His teacher being so openly exposed was naturally not something he wanted to see either. Mainly, he hadn't expected Huo Feng and the others to return so quickly! He had no preparatory measures whatsoever.
Although Xiao Wu hadn't seen clearly, Huo Feng had seen everything perfectly. He immediately saw Yu Xiaogang's blood-soaked private area. Moreover, the latter's breathing was also extremely weak. It was as if he was on the verge of death.
This old man, could he be like his precious disciple Tang San, only half a man? Thinking of this, Huo Feng couldn't help but want to laugh. If he wasn't mistaken, in some sense, this could be considered a lineage, right? Master and disciple were the same. In the future, no one would laugh at anyone else. Huo Feng realized that Tang San was still considered half a man, but Yu Xiaogang was no longer a man at all.
Flender didn't offer much explanation for this. After all, what Yu Xiaogang had injured was not something that could be openly discussed.
Yu Xiaogang remained unconscious for an entire day and night. It wasn't until the daytime of the next day that he finally woke up.
Initially, Yu Xiaogang's emotions were relatively stable. But after Tang San revealed his true physical condition, Yu Xiaogang froze immediately. He was motionless, as if petrified. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned pale at a visible speed.
"Tang San, say that again!"
