Chapter 119 So, what is the price?

Like a heavy mountain pressing down, the human-faced spider, which had been gleaming with ferocity just a second ago, let out a shrill scream, and its legs, which were already deeply embedded in the ground, began to sink uncontrollably and frantically once again.

"asshole!"

Seeing Tang San, who had been released by the Man-Faced Demon Spider and had fainted without even letting out a scream, Elder Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze on the Man-Faced Demon Spider seemed to spit fire.

"How dare you harm a genius from Shrek Academy right in front of me!"

He was furious. It was just a beast with ten thousand years of cultivation. Now that he had come all this way, this human-faced demon spider still dared to commit violence in front of him!

Enraged, Elder Xuan showed no intention of holding back, and his soul power surged once again.

After a series of crisp sounds, the hard shell of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which had easily withstood Tang San's hidden weapons, shattered inch by inch under Elder Xuan's terrifying pressure.

The indescribable pain caused the Man-Faced Demon Spider to begin to struggle violently, but the vast difference between it and Elder Xuan left it powerless against the oppressive force.

In just a short while, it stopped moving completely.

After doing all this, Elder Xuan's violently heaving chest gradually calmed down, and his gaze returned to Tang San, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

The appearance of Tang San before my eyes can only be described as more than just miserable.

His left shoulder and right arm were completely pierced, and his abdomen was bitten into a bloody mess.

Although his internal organs were not damaged, the spider legs and even the mouth of the human-faced demon spider were highly poisonous. At this moment, a bluish-black pattern was rapidly spreading along the blood vessels from Tang San's wounds.

Even though it was only a few seconds from when he was injured to when he was rescued by Elder Xuan, Tang San's already pale face had turned an unnatural bluish tinge.

Seeing Tang San on the verge of death, Elder Xuan quickly injected his soul power into his body, suppressing the spread of the poison and stopping the continuous bleeding from the wound.

After a brief observation, confirming that the toxins had not spread to the heart and worsened the situation again, Elder Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, there's still hope!

Although Tang San's injuries are serious, Shrek Academy's resources mean he is not beyond saving.

The thought that this was the second major mistake he had ever made brought tears to his dim, yellowish eyes.

It's happening again!

Since the Star Dou Great Forest incident, he had clearly learned enough lessons. Although he was also going to hunt some wild game this time, he deliberately did not stray too far from Tang San.

Who knew this would still happen!

The death of several brilliant inner court disciples last time had already dealt a huge blow to his mentality, causing him, who was once full of vigor and never drank a drop of alcohol, to develop a drinking problem.

This time, a genius whose talent surpassed even that of Tang San's ancestor was seriously injured.

Under the personal leadership of this dignified level 98 Super Douluo, such a serious accident still occurred. How could words describe the regret and self-blame in Elder Xuan's heart at this moment?

You know, Tang San is the future of Shrek Academy!

Now he almost perished at the hands of this human-faced spider, how could he not be heartbroken?

Xuan Lao raised his head, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and looked again at the human-faced demon spider that had already displayed its soul ring.

With a thunderous roar erupting from his throat, Elder Xuan's level 98 soul power surged forth once more without reservation, instantly crushing the human-faced demon spider's corpse into ashes.

".Um?"

Just then, an object that had fallen from the body of the human-faced demon spider and was emitting a faint glow immediately caught Xuan Lao's attention. When he saw the shape of the soul bone, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Although he had never seen what the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone that Tang San's ancestor obtained ten thousand years ago looked like, he was pretty much certain of it when he realized that what he was looking at was an external soul bone.

The anger and grief in his eyes receded like a tide, replaced by an indescribable burning passion. Xuan Lao swallowed hard, glanced subconsciously at the unconscious Tang San beneath him, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"A blessing in disguise!"

He knew what Yan Shaozhe was thinking, but to be honest, he didn't have high expectations for Tang San to become a god. He just regarded him as a rare genius.

But from that moment on, he suddenly felt that replicating the achievements of his ancestor Tang San was no longer a pipe dream.

Their experiences are too similar. Now, even Tang San's iconic Eight Spider Lances have appeared. Doesn't this foreshadow the birth of a second being comparable to Tang San?

Even he couldn't help but wonder if there really was such a thing as destiny.

Ten thousand years ago, the evil Spirit Hall harbored wolfish ambitions and wanted to devour the two great empires of Tian Dou and Xing Luo. Tang San's ancestor appeared out of nowhere and eventually achieved the position of Sea God, saving the continent from fire and water.

Ten thousand years later, how similar is the situation on the mainland to that of ten thousand years ago?

The Sun Moon Empire is secretly accumulating power. Judging from their performance in recent years, these guys are becoming increasingly restless and could launch a war at any time.

And then, another genius appeared with the same name as Tang San's ancestor, and even their abilities were almost identical. Isn't this what they call destiny?!

Of course, no matter how excited he was, he understood that the most urgent task at hand was to take Tang San back for treatment.

Fearing that Xiong Jun would come looking for him again, Elder Xuan dared not linger any longer. He grabbed the soul bone, and his vast soul power, like a giant cocoon, enveloped the unconscious Tang San, before he soared into the air.

After giving a cold glance into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, he took Tang San and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Shrek Academy.

He clearly remembered that what almost cost Shrek Academy a valuable talent was not only the Man-Faced Spider, but also that old bear.

If Xiong Jun hadn't interfered, he could have rushed back to Tang San's side the moment he saw the signal flare. In that case, how could Tang San have suffered such serious injuries?

Fortunately, he managed to complete the mission objective despite the misfortune, which somewhat made up for his mistakes. Otherwise, having caused such huge losses to the academy twice in a row, he would have had no face to go back.

Early the next morning.

Shrek Academy.

On the familiar steps, an elderly figure sat quietly, sipping wine from a gourd.

Although the injury on his arm did not seem to have fully healed, it no longer appeared to affect the fluidity of his drinking movements.

If it weren't for the occasional flashes of grief and self-reproach in Elder Xuan's eyes, anyone would have thought the old man was celebrating some joyous occasion and drinking heartily.

After an unknown amount of time, a series of slightly hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard. Soon, Yan Shaozhe, dressed in white fine clothes, came into Xuan Lao's sight and spoke respectfully.

"Elder Xuan, Tang San is awake."

Xuan Lao didn't do anything special because of Yan Shaozhe's arrival. He continued to drink his wine, but there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.

As Master Mu's disciple, Yan Shaozhe's respect for him was obvious to everyone, so how could he not know it?

Just as Elder Mu, as his senior uncle, watched him grow from weak to what he is now, he felt the same way about Yan Shaozhe!

They are not master and disciple, but their relationship is better than that of master and disciple.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt increasingly guilty.

After the Star Dou Great Forest incident, Yan Shaozhe supported him without hesitation, and now he has even entrusted his favorite disciple to his care.

What kind of trust is this?

But what about him?

A level 98 Super Douluo personally oversaw the operation, but returned in a sorry state with a severely injured Tang San after only a few days. If he hadn't successfully obtained that soul bone, he wouldn't have dared to appear in front of Yan Shaozhe.

"How is he?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe quickly offered an explanation.

"Thanks to Dr. Zhuang's treatment, he is out of danger and will recover after a period of rest."

"However, the neurotoxin of the Human-Faced Demon Spider is too potent. Even though Elder Xuan stopped its spread in time, it still corroded some nerves near Tang San's wound. As for the consequences..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shaozhe recalled the areas around the wounds that Elder Zhuang had pointed out to him last night, which were corroded by toxins, and the possible consequences. A strange look appeared on his face as he slowly spoke.

It's not clear yet.

After a long silence, the belatedly aware Elder Xuan rewarded himself with two more sips of wine before slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air.

Immediately afterwards, two large tears rolled down his wrinkled eyes without warning.

It's all because of him!

"Shao Zhe, I have failed your trust. I am sorry to you, and I am sorry to that child Tang San."

Seeing Elder Xuan's trembling lips and tearful outpouring of his heart, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but shudder, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart instantly vanished.

"Elder Xuan, the Gluttonous Divine Ox Martial Soul is meant to eat constantly. You didn't do it on purpose, so why would I blame you for it?"

"Besides, who would have thought that Bear Lord, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, would appear on the edge of the core area? And who could have predicted that two human-faced demon spiders would live in that place?"

"This loss is negligible compared to the last one. Elder Xuan, you must pull yourself together! Shrek Academy can't do without you!"

Moreover, they witnessed firsthand how severe Elder Xuan's injuries were when he returned last night.

To be able to injure the level 98 Elder Xuan so badly, even forcing him to forcibly activate his bloodline power, one can imagine how terrifying Xiong Jun's strength is.

Faced with such an opponent, being able to extricate himself in time and save Tang San, Elder Xuan can be said to have done his best.

Actually, what bothered him the most wasn't that, but that a mere bear, who wasn't even ranked high on the list of ferocious beasts, dared to attack the elders of Shrek Academy!

How many years has it been since Shrek was bullied like this?

For this reason, he made a special trip to see Elder Mu last night to ask if he should gather manpower to put pressure on the Star Dou Great Forest.

For some reason, after hearing his suggestion, Elder Mu looked him up and down with a very strange look before rejecting it.

He was warned in a serious tone to give up the idea, but he didn't mention the reason at all, leaving him still completely confused.
