Shrek Academy, in a dimly lit bedroom.
Master lay on the bed, his face ashen, his body trembling uncontrollably beneath the thin blanket.
Cold sweat constantly dripped from his forehead, soaking the pillowcase, his breathing rapid and weak, his chest heaving violently, as if he could pass away at any moment.
At this moment, Liu Erlong was hunched by the bed, weeping uncontrollably.
She clutched Master's icy cold hand tightly, tears constantly dripping onto the bedding, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaogang… if you die, I won't live either!"
"Second Dragon Girl, don't cry. If you keep crying like this and damage your health, that wouldn't be good. I believe Xiaogang is a good person, and good things will happen to him," Flender said, taking a step forward and gently patting Liu Erlong's shoulder, his eyes red behind his glasses.
Liu Erlong seemed not to hear, still sobbing heartbrokenly by the bed.
Just then, a creak was heard.
Zhao Wuji pushed open the door and walked in.
He glanced at Master, who was lying on the bed with a face ashen as paper, and asked in a gruff voice,
"Boss, how is Master doing now?"
Upon hearing this, Flender shook his head with a sigh, his voice somewhat choked as he said,
"The situation is very bad. Although he was fed Oscar's Big Recovery Sausage, the high fever has receded. But after all, a large part of the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline in his body was extracted, and it's very likely he won't make it… Even if he does, we three might not be able to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill again in the future."
As he spoke, a chilly wind suddenly swept in from outside the window, and his eyes suddenly grew cold, his fingers unconsciously clenching the bedpost.
"That old coot Dugu Bo and that little brat Tang Chuan are truly too ruthless!"
"If Clear Sky Douluo hadn't intervened, not one of us would have made it back."
Finally, Flender looked at Zhao Wuji wearily and said, "Wuji, I asked you to send people out to inquire, is there any news of Little San and Clear Sky Douluo?"
"Not a single bit of news. It's like he vanished into thin air," Zhao Wuji shook his head, his rugged face filled with helplessness.
Sighing, Flender seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He slumped onto the edge of the bed, his voice filled with unprecedented disappointment, saying, "There are still more than three months until the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament begins… Now Little San is missing, and Xiaogang is in critical condition. Ning Rongrong has also dropped out… Heaven wants to destroy my Shrek Academy!!"
Zhao Wuji stepped forward, his broad palm gently resting on Flender's shoulder. He tried to make his voice sound very firm as he comforted him,
"Boss, don't be too pessimistic. Tang San was, after all, taken away by Clear Sky Douluo, who knows, he might send him back someday."
"Although Master's situation is not optimistic, aren't there still us two old fellows?"
He glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who was breathing faintly on the bed, and he, too, sighed.
"As for Ning Rongrong, I think Jiang Zhu from Lan Ba Academy can completely replace her. Although that girl's support ability is not as good as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, her healing ability is outstanding."
Hearing this, Flender nodded, wearily rubbing his temples, and said,
"It seems that's the only way. Shrek Academy is, after all, my life's work, and this Soul Master Competition is crucial, no matter what…"
However, his words had not fully fallen.
Liu Erlong suddenly stood up and walked straight out the door.
"Second Dragon Girl, where are you going?" Flender asked, somewhat confused.
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong replied without turning her head,
"I'm going back to the Sect to find my granduncle. Xiaogang is his biological son after all, he should have a way to save Xiaogang. I don't believe he would stand by and watch his son die without doing anything."
As she spoke, she suddenly paused and said meaningfully,
"Although Tang San is not here now, I recently received a rumor that Tian Heng's Royal Fight Team seems to have disbanded for some unknown reason. I think our Shrek Academy can definitely try to win him over to replace Tang San."
…Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The red and blue twin springs intertwined and flowed like silk.
A blue-gold figure, holding the golden dragon spear, slowly descended. A faint blue aura emanated from his body, isolating the scorching and freezing spring water.
His long hair gently swayed in the flowing water, like a watercolor painting.
Soon, the two dragon corpses, as majestic as mountain ranges,
reappeared in Tang Chuan's sight.
"Blue Silver Domain, open!"
With a low shout, a vibrant blue aura full of vitality instantly spread from Tang Chuan's body, rippling through the red and blue intertwined lake water.
Wherever the Blue Silver Domain reached,
the water plants, rock veins, and even energy flows at the bottom of the lake were clearly reflected in his mind.
Immediately after, Tang Chuan once again locked onto the location of the two Dragon Orbs.
One was fiery like lava, the other was icy cold like profound ice.
"They're there!"
His gaze slightly narrowed, Tang Chuan moved his legs and swam towards the Dragon Orbs.
But as soon as he swam halfway, the two dormant Dragon Spirits not far away suddenly emitted a hazy glow, reawakening and opening their eyes. This time, although they did not release terrifying pressure like last time, they blocked Tang Chuan's path like ancient guardians.
"Still not letting me pass?" Tang Chuan frowned slightly, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
Just as he was at a loss, the golden dragon spear in his hand suddenly emitted a low hum, its shaft trembling slightly, as if responding to something.
With a slight intuition, Tang Chuan quickly raised the golden dragon spear in his hand.
Immediately, a brilliant golden light burst forth from the tip of the spear.
It instantly illuminated the entire bottom of the lake like the rising sun.
Wherever the golden light passed, the red and blue intertwined spring waters receded, and the Dragon Spirits of the two great Ice and Fire Dragon Kings actually paused slightly in front of this pure golden light.
The next second, the Dragon Spirits of the two great Ice and Fire Dragon Kings looked at each other, a golden light flashing in their eyes simultaneously, and then swam towards Tang Chuan.
At the same time, a sense of reverence emanated from their bodies.
At this moment, the two great Dragon Kings only had a wisp of remnant soul left, no longer possessing intelligence, only a bit of Origin power. The golden dragon spear was formed from the ribs of the Golden Dragon King, containing the aura of the Golden Dragon King, which was incredibly intimate to them, and also possessed a certain deterrent force.
"That's right then, don't stop me."
"Perhaps, when I contend against the God Realm in the future, I will even help you two revive and be Reborn."
Looking at the two great Ice and Fire Dragon Spirits floating before him, Tang Chuan smiled slightly, then tentatively reached out, gently stroking their dragon heads as if petting a docile puppy.
The two Dragon Spirits not only did not resist,
but instead emitted a low hum, as if responding to his touch.
Seizing this opportunity,
Tang Chuan's figure suddenly flashed, and he shot towards the location of the Dragon Orbs like a swimming fish.
