Chapter 154: Tang San's Current Situation, Bibi Dong's Generous Gift
Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up from his seat.
In his sheer shock, he subconsciously swept the cups on the table onto the ground.
His eyes widened as he stared intently at Flender in front of him. His lips trembled slightly, but for a long time, he could not utter a single word.
Just now, he had learned from Flender that Lin Mo's cultivation had broken through to the five-ring level, and that his Spirit had completed two consecutive benign mutations.
Either one of these two pieces of information was a massive shock to his understanding.
A twelve-year-old Spirit King with an External Beast Martial Soul that had mutated consecutively.
How was this possible?
These two terms constantly echoed in Yu Xiaogang's mind, making him feel as if he was having trouble breathing.
As a scholar who had studied Spirit theory for decades, he understood better than anyone what these two achievements meant.
A Spirit King cultivation level meant that Lin Mo's cultivation speed had already shattered all historical records on the Douluo Continent.
And consecutive mutations, especially consecutive benign mutations, were completely unheard of.
"This is impossible..."
Yu Xiaogang could not help muttering to himself, his tone filled with disbelief.
Even so, his heart had already accepted this fact.
Because not long ago, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had highly commended Nuoding College on the grounds that Nuoding College had nurtured an outstanding genius.
Spirit Hall had also made an exception by issuing a generous reward to Nuoding College.
These two events undoubtedly indicated that Lin Mo's talent had already received immense attention from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and Spirit Hall.
If Lin Mo had not truly displayed talent sufficient to catch the attention of these two major powers, why would they make such a big fuss?
Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly turned somewhat pale.
Looking at his old brother's despondent state, Flender sighed inwardly.
He took two steps forward and patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder.
"Xiaogang, don't think about this for now."
Flender's voice pulled Yu Xiaogang back to reality from his daze.
Yu Xiaogang raised his head and looked at Flender, the shock still lingering in his eyes.
"As for Tang San... you should go see him," Flender said. "During this Spirit Hunt, something happened."
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
"What happened?"
Flender fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"We were extremely unlucky at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. We ran into the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, which had somehow rushed to the outer region."
"The Titan Giant Ape?"
Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted.
As a Grandmaster in Spirit Master theory, he naturally understood what the Titan Giant Ape represented.
One of the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast. Its strength was comparable to powerful human Titled Douluos.
How could such an existence run to the outskirts of the forest?
"Xiao Wu... was taken by the Titan Giant Ape," Flender said, his voice growing low. "We tried to pursue it, but that fellow was too fast. It vanished in the blink of an eye."
"Xiao Wu and Tang San have an extremely close relationship, so Xiao Wu's disappearance has dealt a massive blow to Tang San."
Hearing Flender's words, Yu Xiaogang's face turned even more unsightly.
He hesitated no longer and turned around, walking toward Tang San's dormitory.
When Yu Xiaogang pushed open the door and entered, what met his eyes was Tang San's incredibly dejected figure.
Tang San sat on the edge of the bed. His clothes were slightly disheveled, his hair was messy, and his entire being exuded a lifeless aura.
What startled Yu Xiaogang the most were Tang San's eyes.
Those eyes, which had once been full of life, were now completely dull and lifeless.
This was the very first time Yu Xiaogang had seen Tang San in such a terrible mental state.
He walked up to Tang San and spoke softly.
"Little San."
Tang San slowly raised his head to look at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes empty.
"Teacher..."
His voice was hoarse, as if he had not spoken in a very long time.
Yu Xiaogang's heart tightened.
He sat down beside Tang San, fell silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "I heard from Flender about Xiao Wu."
Tang San's body trembled slightly.
"I will bring her back," Tang San said. "No matter the cost."
But soon, Tang San shook his head as if denying himself.
"Teacher, you don't understand..."
His voice was very low.
"That is the Titan Giant Ape, a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast... I am too weak. I can't protect her..."
By the end, Tang San's voice was filled with choking sobs.
Looking at Tang San in this state, Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt a surge of impulse.
He wanted to tell Tang San that his father was Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, one of the most powerful Titled Douluos in the world today.
If Tang Hao were to take action, saving Xiao Wu would not be impossible.
But as the words reached his lips, Yu Xiaogang hesitated again.
When Tang Hao entrusted Tang San to him back then, he had requested that Yu Xiaogang not tell Tang San about his background too early.
Was now the right time?
Yu Xiaogang fell into silence.
Meanwhile, at this moment, in a shadow outside Shrek Academy, a figure stood there quietly.
Tang Hao's brow was tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with complexity. He naturally knew about Xiao Wu being taken by the Titan Giant Ape.
In fact, ever since Tang San entered the Star Dou Great Forest, he had been following him in secret.
When the Titan Giant Ape appeared, he could have taken action, but in the end, he still did not show himself.
The reason was simple.
Although the Titan Giant Ape's movements were rough when it took Xiao Wu, it had deliberately avoided her vital spots, clearly showing no killing intent.
Tang Hao was almost certain that there must be some sort of connection between Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape.
And he was one of the few humans currently who knew Xiao Wu's true form.
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast that had transformed and cultivated anew.
He had always kept this secret in his heart, telling no one.
Now, seeing Tang San depressed because of Xiao Wu's departure, Tang Hao also hesitated in his heart, wondering whether he should inform Tang San of Xiao Wu's true identity to cheer him up.
If Tang San knew that Xiao Wu was a transformed Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast and knew that her life was not in danger, perhaps he could cheer up again.
But what kept Tang Hao from making up his mind was that although Tang San and Xiao Wu had an excellent relationship, they currently only referred to each other as sworn siblings and had never broken through that final barrier.
Tang Hao also could not be sure whether his son could truly accept Xiao Wu's identity as a Spirit Beast.
If Tang San found out the truth, would he accept it calmly, or would he be unable to accept it, causing him to become even more dejected?
On the other side, in Spirit City, inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong was currently playing with two Spirit Bones that emitted a faint glow.
The quality of these two Spirit Bones was quite good. Although they had only just entered the ten thousand year level, they were both dropped by rare Sub Dragon Spirit Beasts.
If Yu Xiaogang could absorb these two Spirit Bones, it would definitely be of immense benefit to his Luo San Pao Spirit.
Perhaps he could even use them to solve the problem of his Spirit's malignant mutation, allowing Luo San Pao to complete a benign evolution.
Thinking of this, a faint curve could not help forming at the corner of Bibi Dong's mouth.
But very quickly, this curve vanished once more.
Because not long ago, the people she sent to Nuoding City had sent back news that Yu Xiaogang had already left Nuoding College.
This theory Grandmaster, who had been a Guest Elder at Nuoding College for over ten years, had suddenly resigned from his post and vanished without a trace.
The instant she learned this news, Bibi Dong was completely stunned.
Spirit Bones, information, and all kinds of resources that could potentially be used to promote the benign mutation of Yu Xiaogang's Spirit, she had prepared all of them for Yu Xiaogang.
But now, the person who was supposed to receive these things could not be found.
Bibi Dong closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the irritation in her heart.
"Xiaogang..."
"Just where on earth did you go?"
