Zhao Wuji was like a seasoned cow herder on the grasslands, urging Tang San and the others to hurry if they flew even a bit too slowly.
After this string of events, he didn't dare let these children stay here for even half a second longer.
And... next time they went hunting for spirit rings, he would definitely drag Elder Fu along!
The wind howled past their ears, but Tang Sui still slept soundly in Tang San's embrace, showing no signs of waking.
With the absolute speed of the flying mushroom sausage, everyone ate Oscar's flying mushroom sausages twice. To save some spirit power and time, Zhao Wuji had the boys and girls team up separately, just as Tang San was flying with Tang Sui.
Oscar wisely chose to be Dai Mubai's passenger. On the girls' side, the newly promoted Violent Bear Cat Zhu Zhuqing awkwardly held the very light Ning Rongrong, afraid of dropping her.
Ma Hongjun, due to his own weight and the maximum load capacity of the flying mushroom sausage, bit on a small handkerchief, watching Xiao Wu eat a flying mushroom sausage by herself and take flight.
As for Zhao Wuji, he didn't eat a flying mushroom sausage to save his strength.
According to him, a dignified Spirit Sage like himself shouldn't lack the strength and speed for running.
...
Returning to Shrek Academy without stopping, everyone except Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had recently advanced, were too exhausted to even speak.
Especially Oscar.
Although he had also advanced recently, he had been continuously making flying mushroom sausages for everyone along the way. His spirit power and mental power were both depleted. At this moment, all he wanted was to get back to his dormitory and his beloved small bed to fall asleep.
Tang San carried Tang Sui, following Xiao Wu all the way to the girls' dormitory.
Xiao Wu didn't mind Tang San entering the dormitory. After all, when they were in the seventh dormitory, they slept in a large dormitory with dozens of people, with little privacy.
After tucking Tang Sui in with her small blanket, Tang San reached out and smoothed a stray strand of her messy hair before looking at Xiao Wu, who stood with her hands behind her back, and said, "Xiao Wu, thank you for your hard work this time."
Xiao Wu shook her head. "I'm fine. San, you should think about how you're going to explain this to everyone."
Tang San's eyes dimmed. "Since it's already exposed, there's no point in hiding it. It's better to tell everyone the whole story."
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San's darkened expression, her gaze shifted, and she whispered, "San, are you worried they won't accept Sui Sui?"
Tang San lowered his head, looking at his sister's peaceful sleeping face, and softly replied, "Besides that, I'm also worried about Sui Sui's spirit. Sui Sui once told me that she could feel that her current spirit is not in its complete form. If my guess is correct, Sui Sui's mask spirit should increase in number."
"What?! It's going to increase again!" Xiao Wu's eyes widened.
Two masks had already tormented them, and if another one was added...
"I don't know how many mask spirits Sui Sui has, but I am worried that Sui Sui's abnormal personality changes are related to the increase in the number of masks," Tang San said, his brows tinged with sharpness as he logically laid out his analysis:
"When the mask called Fox Mask appeared, I saw another personality of Sui Sui. Until her mask spirit increased, I had only seen that one personality."
Xiao Wu recalled the events in the Star Dou Great Forest and murmured, "But the Sui Sui we saw was completely different from what you described to me, and it was a newly appeared personality."
Tang San nodded, reaching out to gently stroke Tang Sui's soft hair. "I'm very worried that if another mask appears, Sui Sui's personality will increase again, and eventually... if a person cannot distinguish their original self, they might very well... descend into madness..."
Xiao Wu covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror.
"How can this be..."
In the dark consciousness space, two masks floated quietly in the darkness. The narrow fox eyes and the other pair of bulging, round pupils each had an empty eye socket or dull eyes, as if they were not living beings.
'Hee hee—'
A faint laugh echoed in the darkness, like wind brushing past the ear, giving the illusion of someone speaking.
...
On the small balcony outside the dean's office, Zhao Wuji, who had come to see Flanders immediately after returning to the academy, was now sitting in a chair, recounting the series of accidents in the Star Dou Great Forest to Flanders.
Flanders almost dropped his teacup as he listened. When he heard that Tang Sui had been hit squarely by the Titan Giant Ape, he gasped and anxiously asked Zhao Wuji, "What happened after that?! Is that girl Tang Sui alright?!"
Zhao Wuji shook his head. Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly sensed another unfamiliar aura and looked sharply into the room, "Who?!"
The Grandmaster, dressed in a simple dark gray robe, emerged from the room and stood in the sunlight.
Seeing the newcomer, Flanders was the first to stand up and introduce him to Zhao Wuji with a smile, "Don't be nervous, Wuji. Come, let me introduce you. This is my old comrade, Yu Xiaogang, whom I ventured the continent with. He is also the teacher of Tang San and Tang Sui. You can call him Grandmaster; that's how almost everyone in the spirit master world refers to him."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji's spirits immediately lifted. He also stood up from his seat, clasped his fists towards the Grandmaster, and bowed slightly, "So you are the Grandmaster! I've heard your name for a long time!"
Incredible, a person of Great Spirit Master level could subdue that terrifying pair of siblings. Amazing!
