Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

Bored, Chen Luo opened the task panel to check the ongoing tasks and also to see if the others were safe.

[Rank B Mission: A rewarding training experience.]

[Mission Description: Excellent students need extensive training. When some students need to acquire Soul Rings, please lead all the students from the Monster Teaching Building to the Star Dou Great Forest for training, ensuring everyone's safety.]

[Task Rewards: Determined based on task completion rate.]

[Caution: This task carries a high risk; please exercise caution!]

At the bottom of the mission details, Chen Luo can see the names of all the students in the Monster School Building. At this time, all the students' names are displayed in green, indicating that everyone is safe.

"It's good that everyone is alright. So far, everything is going relatively smoothly. The most dangerous part, the Titan Giant Ape, has been overcome. After that, we just need to wait for Xiao Wu to return, and this operation to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings will be successfully completed."

"The only regret is that Tang San hasn't reached level 30 yet. Whether he encountered the Snake Woman first or the Titan Giant Ape later, the process was too smooth. There is pressure, but not enough to make Tang San break through directly. It seems that Tang San's acquisition of spirit rings will have to be postponed..."

Chen Luo could check Tang San's current soul power level through the disciple interface. He had checked it several times already, and Tang San's soul power level was still at level twenty-nine.

According to the original storyline, Tang San broke through to level 30 after his one-on-one fight with Meng Yiran.

With Flander and Zhao Wuji present, Snake Granny dared not cause any trouble and decisively ran away with Meng Yiran, thus Tang San missed an opportunity.

Even when facing the Titan Ape, Tang San failed to break through. It's likely that the stimulation he received wasn't enough, or perhaps Tang San was influenced by Chen Luo and became much more rational in his views on many things, no longer going berserk just because of Xiao Wu.

During the entrance exam, Tang San and his friends fought against Zhao Wuji. Xiao Wu was also injured in the battle, but Tang San's behavior was very rational. He did not do anything outrageous like challenging Zhao Wuji to a duel. Using hidden weapons was just a normal necessity.

Chen Luo was quite satisfied with this.

After closing the task panel, Chen Luo's gaze returned to Yu Xiuyuan.

Looking at Yu Xiuyuan's body soaked in sweat, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The process of absorbing the spirit ring went relatively smoothly. The most difficult part is over. I reckon after this, this kid won't mention challenging the limits of absorbing spirit rings again. He almost scared me to death just now. If his physical strength were any weaker, he probably would have kicked the bucket..."

"It should take him a while to absorb the spirit ring. Should we check again to see if Tang San has broken through yet?"

Chen Luo couldn't resist opening the disciple interface. The disciple list only contained Tang San and Yu Xiuyuan. Chen Luo could view all their information with a thought.

Upon opening Tang San's information panel, Chen Luo's gaze fell upon Tang San's soul power level.

The next second, Chen Luo's eyes slowly widened.

"Level 30? I've finally broken through!"

……

"Swish..."

Tang San dragged his weary body forward step by step, followed by Zhao Wuji, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Take a break, little hedgehog. Your teacher will be fine. With the strength of a Soul Master, you can't exactly walk around the outer edge of the Soul Beast Forest, but you can definitely protect yourself!" Zhao Wuji said helplessly.

Tang San finally stopped, nodded, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Okay."

Oscar stepped forward and handed over a large recovery sausage, then asked, "Master, you at least have the strength of a Soul Master. Shouldn't you be worried about your sister, Xiao Wu?"

Tang San said, "She'll be fine. I saw the mark she left for me. She should have already left the Star Dou Great Forest by now."

“Mark? What mark?” Oscar asked, looking puzzled.

Tang San said, "It's a mark that only Xiao Wu and I know about, so it's normal that you didn't notice it."

"Why haven't I heard you mention it along the way?" Zhao Wuji asked.

"You didn't ask either."

Zhao Wuji: "..."

Zhu Zhuqing: "..."

Oscar laughed and said, "You're just like the Grandmaster in this respect. You resolutely refuse to say anything unless asked. We always thought he was level 29, but it turns out he's already a Soul Master, and his fourth Soul Ring is a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. You're really hiding your true strength!"

"Teacher has always been very low-key," Tang San said.

"Yes, it was very low-key, so low-key that it made me realize the true meaning of the words 'useless martial spirit'."

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but complain, "I asked him before what his martial soul was, and he just told me it was a useless mutated martial soul."

"So that golden beast is called a useless martial soul?"

"What's most unbelievable is his soul power level. He told me that he had been stuck at level 29 for decades. Could it be that he raised from level 29 to the Soul Master level in just a few years?"

Tang San smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"I knew it! How could that be... What did you just say? Yes?!"

Zhao Wuji's expression immediately became particularly interesting: "So how many years is exactly?"

Tang San said, "I became an apprentice when I first entered the Junior Soul Master Academy. At that time, my teacher was still at level 29."

Zhao Wuji's lips twitched slightly: "In just six years... the aura he's displayed must be at least level 45 or higher in soul power, right?"

"A sixteen-level advancement in six years?!"

"And that's not all!!!"

"Is he a piece of trash or a monster?"

Zhao Wuji's expression became even more interesting, as did Oscar's. Even Zhu Zhuqing, who had maintained a cold expression, showed a rare change in expression, her pretty face seemingly displaying disbelief.

Tang San maintained his smile: "I can't believe it either, but it's true. My teacher has created too many miracles, and his efforts cannot be ignored. He has always inspired me."

"Alright, we shouldn't be focusing on the teacher's strength, but rather on where the teacher and Yu Xiuyuan are right now. Let's continue our search for them!"

Zhao Wuji said, "We've only rested for less than two minutes. I'm not tired, but can you handle it?"

Tang San said, "It's nothing."

As he spoke, Tang San looked at Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, who both said they were fine.

Zhao Wuji said with a hint of helplessness, "Then let's keep going."

Tang San ate the recovery sausage Oscar gave him in a few bites and continued walking.

Oscar, maintaining the same speed as Tang San, asked with a smile, "Master must be very important to you!"

Tang San nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

Chapter 46 I'll Help You

Tang San's expression was very sincere, and he said from the bottom of his heart, "My teacher has taught me a lot, not only cultivation and knowledge, but also many principles of being a good person. He is also very good to me. Even my father has never been so good to me. Although he is not my relative, he is more than a relative. Of course, he is important!"

Oscar said, "I really envy you having such a good teacher!"

Zhao Wuji, who was behind him, said, "Actually, Oscar, you could also become Shao Xin's apprentice. A food-type Soul Master at the Soul Saint level is extremely rare even on the entire continent."

Oscar turned around with a mournful expression: "Teacher Zhao, do you think I don't want to? Teacher Shao Xin simply won't accept me!"

Upon hearing Oscar's words, Zhao Wuji seemed to recall something: "That makes sense, Shao Xin isn't taking on any more disciples..."

"Actually, it's just a difference in name only. Shao Xin has already taught you everything he was supposed to teach you."

Oscar: "Yeah..."

Zhao Wuji: "Then why are you thinking so much?"

Oscar's lips twitched slightly: "Didn't you, Teacher Zhao, suggest that I become Teacher Shao Xin's apprentice first?"

"Haha, I forgot."

"..."

After walking a distance, Zhao Wuji suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Stop advancing!" Zhao Wuji shouted decisively.

Tang San and his companions immediately went into battle mode, warily observing their surroundings.

Zhao Wuji then walked to the front of the group and looked seriously at the large area in front of him, finally focusing his gaze on a small mound about fifty meters away.

The small mound is about 15 centimeters high and has a relatively gentle arc shape. It blends very well with the surrounding environment and doesn't look out of place at all. It would be hard to notice if you don't look closely.

"There's a thousand-year-old soul beast, most likely a Human-Faced Demon Spider. Would you like to challenge it?"

Zhao Wuji spoke slowly, but immediately changed his mind: "Let's forget it, it's too dangerous. The poison of the human-faced demon spider is very difficult to deal with. When I was young, I was almost crippled by the poison of the human-faced demon spider."

Oscar asked, "So, Teacher Zhao has such a deep impression of the Man-Faced Demon Spider?"

Zhao Wuji glanced at Oscar indifferently: "Should I praise you for being smart?"

Oscar: "Teacher Zhao, can't we just have a pleasant conversation?!"

Zhao Wuji completely ignored Oscar: "I'll go handle this. You guys stay where you are and don't move. The area around the Human-Faced Demon Spider is basically safe. The Human-Faced Demon Spider is the most dangerous."

Tang San suddenly spoke up: "Teacher Zhao, if the age of that Human-Faced Demon Spider is suitable, could you leave it to me?"

Zhao Wuji was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then turned around abruptly to look at Tang San, and exclaimed with delight, "You're level 30 already?"

Tang San nodded: "Yes, I broke through while we were traveling. I was already close to breaking through, but I guess it was due to the pressure from the Titan Giant Ape."

"This is great news!! You are very likely to be the youngest Soul Master in Shrek Academy!" Zhao Wuji laughed heartily.

Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing both smiled congratulatoryly, but their faces also showed some shock, as this was the first time they had ever seen a Soul Master of twelve years old.

Tang San smiled slightly: "You still need to acquire a spirit ring to be considered a Soul Master."

Zhao Wuji was in a great mood: "That's easy! I'm in a good mood today, so you can pick any soul beast you want!"

Tang San laughed and said, "The Human-Faced Demon Spider will do."

"Okay, give me thirty seconds."

After saying that, Zhao Wuji shot out like a cannonball, covering the fifty-meter distance in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Wuji kicked off with his left leg, and the small mound collapsed, revealing the cave beneath.

A dark figure flashed past and entered the underground passage.

Zhao Wuji leaped forward, covering nearly ten meters, and slammed his fist into the ground with tremendous force, causing a large area of ​​the surrounding land to crack.

"It should be about time."

Zhao Wuji reached down and pulled out a giant spider with a diameter of over 1.5 meters.

The giant spider has a completely black carapace and eight sharp, pointed spider spears, each over 1.5 meters long, seemingly capable of piercing through anything.

In addition, there were some white stripes on the spider's lower abdomen, which contrasted sharply with its black body.

The white lines formed a ferocious human face, with eight small eyes that shimmered with a faint purple light pressed against its lower abdomen.
