"Swish…"
With a thought from Tang San, over a dozen Blue Silver Chicken feathers flew out,elongated,and turned into a net that enveloped a nearby tree.
As his Xuan Tian Gong activated, the barbs on the feathers pierced into the tree bark.
Smoke emitted from the bark.
Soon, the bark showed signs of dryness and decay.
"Interesting. Your Blue Silver Chicken can be used like this too? The feather toughness is excellent!"
Yu Xiaogang clicked his tongue in amazement.
"The barbs on the Blue Silver Chicken feathers have three effects: corrosive poison, soul power paralysis, and intense neurotic pain.
Once the enemy's skin is pierced, they activate immediately."
Tang San said confidently to his godmother.
"You took a big risk, but the payoff isn't bad! Let's hope there's no next time."
Yu Xiaogang stood with hands behind his back, speaking seriously to Tang San.
"Got it, Teacher, there won't be a next time!"
Tang San said with a smile. He was just saying it—he'd probably forget again next time.
"Ding! Triggered plot modification mission!"
[Tang San turns around to show Yu Xiaogang his back, spider legs grow out from it.] Max 3 characters can be modified.
Zhang Fan shrugged, and raised his hand to change the characters "spider legs" into "grass."
"Ding! Plot modification successful. The plot is a bit unhinged. Reward: 80 modification points."
Tang San removed his top and turned around to show his back to Yu Xiaogang.
Grass grew out of his back—eight stalks in total.
They were thriving.
"Uh…"
Yu Xiaogang stared at the scene for a few seconds, looking utterly incredulous at the eight stalks of grass.
That sight dumbfounded him.
"Xiao… San, how did you do this? Why are eight stalks of grass growing from your back?"
Yu Xiaogang even reached out and gave them a tug.
"The toughness is pretty decent… where did you get these eight stalks of grass?"
"Eight stalks of grass?"
Tang San stared at the eight stalks of grass in Yu Xiaogang's hand, stunned for several seconds.
"This… how did this happen? They were supposed to be eight spider legs!!"
He was dumbfounded, eyes wide, unable to believe his own sight.
"Godmother… am I dreaming right now?"
Tang San took a few steps back.
"Bang…"
He slapped himself hard and felt real pain—then saw the eight stalks of grass drooping from his back.
He couldn't help but look to the sky and scream:
"Nooo!"
"You're not dreaming, but… what's the point of growing eight stalks of grass from your back? How did they even grow out?"
Yu Xiaogang was half-laughing, half-crying. The grass looked pretty ordinary.
However—
They did have the spotted markings of a Demon Spider, and were indeed tough.
"I absorbed the Man-Faced Demon Spider's attached spirit bone—the Eight Spider Spears!"
Tang San was thoroughly confused.
"No idea how they turned into eight stalks of grass!"
Tang San was on the verge of tears.
"Oh heavens… how could you do me like this?! Please show mercy!"
He felt like some giant black hand was controlling his fate.
That black hand was way too cruel.
Those cool Eight Spider Spears actually turned into eight stalks of grass!
He couldn't bear to look.
"Noooo…"
Tang San collapsed to the ground, legs kicking wildly.
Like a child throwing a tantrum.
Yu Xiaogang was stunned by the sight.
"Let fate take its course."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly. He was long used to this bizarre life.
"Just like your Blue Silver Chicken—looks ridiculous, but actually packs a punch!
These eight stalks of grass might have some hidden abilities!"
"Mm!"
Tang San heard Yu Xiaogang's words and got up from the ground, feeling like it made sense. He willed it:
"Buzz…"
But the eight stalks of grass had no reaction.
No special abilities detected either.
"Let's study it slowly in the future."
Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San on the shoulder in consolation.
"How's Zhang Fan doing lately?"
"That guy's living the dream—three beauties hanging around him!
His soul power level is already over forty! Every spirit ring he has is over ten thousand years old!
His Heavenly Rotten Sword even mutated into the Heavenly Calamity Sword. It now has several attributes,
And every soul skill is insanely powerful!"
Tang San was exploding with envy as he said this.
He felt his own mutated martial spirit was a joke. Even his external spirit bone had turned into something laughable.
To him, Zhang Fan was the golden child from someone else's family—a pure envy magnet.
He even told Yu Xiaogang about Zhang Fan defeating Zhao Wuji and Ye Zhiqiu.
"That… kid's really lucky, huh? Guess we're destined—our martial spirits all ended up ugly!"
Yu Xiaogang laughed and said to Tang San:
"I always suspected his sword martial spirit wasn't ordinary.
How else could he have innate full soul power? Looks like I was right!"
"Yeah! Godmother, you're amazing!" Tang San said, full of admiration.
"Alright, take me to see Zhang Fan."
Yu Xiaogang hadn't seen Zhang Fan in a while.
"Godmother… you really want to see him?" Tang San was a bit surprised.
"He's an old acquaintance after all." Yu Xiaogang nodded.
"Alright then."
Tang San stored the eight stalks of grass and brought Yu Xiaogang to the boys' dorm.
"Zhang Fan… teacher wants to see you!"
Tang San knocked on the door. "Knock knock…"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Zhang Fan's lazy voice came from inside, as he walked out holding Xiao Wu by her slim waist.
"Zhang Fan, long time no see!"
Yu Xiaogang greeted with a smile.
"Yeah, it really has been a while."
Zhang Fan glanced at Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
This Yu Xiaogang's voice sounded a little too soft… could he really have become a eunuch?
"What is it, disciple?" Zhang Fan said calmly.
"Insolent!"
Tang San's eyes turned cold at Zhang Fan's words. He pulled out a box of hidden weapons—something he had prepared just for Zhang Fan.
"You think that box of hidden weapons is enough to deal with me?" Zhang Fan looked at him with contempt.
"Xiao San, don't be reckless!"
Yu Xiaogang chuckled.
"From now on, I'll be a teacher at Shrek Academy. You'll have to listen to me."
"Oh yeah? Then why don't you ask Flender if he agrees?"
Zhang Fan smirked.
"Flender! Yu Xiaogang says I have to listen to his teachings from now on?"
"Swoosh…"
Flender flew over from the distance.
"Xiaogang, didn't I tell you already?
You can manage everyone else except Zhang Fan. So you have no right to teach him!
Of course, if you want to leave, I won't stop you!"
Flender knew how important Zhang Fan was to Shrek. Given Yu Xiaogang's madness, he didn't want him ruining Zhang Fan.
"Flender! After all these years of friendship, you treat me like this for that brat?"
Yu Xiaogang was furious.
"Xiaogang, haven't I always treated you well?
I didn't even mention Er Long in front of you.
And you?
Doesn't seem like you've done much for me either, huh? I won't let a talent like him leave Shrek because of you!"
Flender used to be too accommodating to Yu Xiaogang, even stepping aside for Liu Erlong.
But seeing Yu Xiaogang like this now, just making him a teacher was already doing him a favor.
Who he teaches—wasn't his call to make.
