"Sui Sui, you didn't tell me about these things the other day." Tang San narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at his sister, who was trying to avoid his gaze.
Tang Sui looked up at him innocently and said softly, "It's just that too many things have happened in the past six months, and I forgot for a moment."
Tang San was momentarily speechless, but he still put on a stern face. "Such important matters can be forgotten?! What are you thinking about all day long in that little head of yours!"
He tried to exert his authority as an elder brother.
However, he didn't expect the mole to be by his side, and it was his teacher who first came to Tang Sui's rescue.
"Alright, Xiao San. Sui Sui just got back. Besides, her current Spirit Power level far surpasses yours, and more importantly, her physique has also improved. Compared to that, other things do indeed become less significant."
"Yes, yes!" Tang Sui nodded like a pecking chicken. Tang San looked helplessly at the Master, who was indulging Tang Sui. "Teacher..."
"Alright, I haven't finished talking about important matters. Let's get back to business." The Master openly changed the subject, but Tang San couldn't refuse.
Because he wanted to know everything about his father.
"Your father reached the Titled Douluo level when he was only forty-four years old. According to legend, with his strength just reaching level 90, he defeated two Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo, and even severely wounded the former Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xun Ji. But then he disappeared without a trace."
After listening, Tang San frowned. "So... our family actually has a deep conflict with Spirit Hall, but Spirit Hall is so powerful. Why would Dad clash with people from Spirit Hall? And even the Pope and two Titled Douluo..."
"Brother, Teacher, I know about this. But Dad said it's not time to tell Brother yet." Tang Sui suddenly spoke up, no longer acting meek.
The two looked at Tang Sui. A hint of confusion appeared on Tang San's face. "It's not time to tell me... Is it because of... strength?"
Tang Sui pondered for a second and then nodded her head. "Yes. The reason I know is because of 'her'. As for Brother... Dad said he'll only consider telling you when you reach at least the Soul Emperor level."
"Soul Emperor level?!"
They were both taken aback. Tang Sui blinked her eyes.
"Yes. But one thing is certain: Spirit Hall, for us, is undoubtedly an antagonistic force."
Tang San pondered, and the Master's gaze deepened.
"In short, it's best for both of you not to reveal the existence of your other spirit, and be wary of Spirit Hall."
"Also, about your father being a Titled Douluo, Xiao San, do you have any thoughts?" He had already asked Tang Sui half a year ago, and now it was Tang San's turn.
Tang San and Tang Sui were indeed siblings, and their answers were almost identical.
"Teacher, regarding Dad actually being a Titled Douluo, I was just surprised. Other thoughts... If you think that because I have a Titled Douluo backing me, I can be as reckless as Xue Beng was back then, then forget it." Thinking of the arrogant Xue Beng from back then, Tang San shook his head.
"Since Dad chose to live in seclusion and stay low-key, and is unwilling to tell us his identity, he must have his reasons. What Sui Sui and I can do is to also maintain a low profile, be down-to-earth, and make a name for ourselves on the continent through our own efforts. That is enough."
The Master secretly nodded, his expression gentle. He looked at them earnestly and said,
"It's best that you both think this way."
"Xiao San, Sui Sui has now reached level forty, and there are only six months left until the Spirit Master elite competition. I won't arrange any special training for you in these six months, but I hope that you and your other companions can quickly raise your Spirit Power levels to forty."
"As for Mu Bai's spirit ring, tomorrow morning, Flander and I will take Mu Bai to hunt. I hope that soon, you can all go to the Sunset Forest together to hunt for your fourth spirit ring!"
"Of course, even though Sui Sui has broken through, she cannot be lazy!"
"Yes, Teacher."
The two said in unison.
...
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Following Dai Mu Bai, except for Xiao Wu, who had not taken the Acacia Heartbreak Red, the other six had all reached level forty Spirit Power. Flander immediately decided to go to the Sunset Forest in two days for a group hunt.
Although Tang Sui's Spirit Power level had not increased, she had not neglected her cultivation. She became more proficient in using her fourth spirit skill, and could even achieve perfect coordination with her other spirit skills.
In the early morning, in front of the Shrek Academy gate, the Shrek Eight Monsters stood in a line, full of spirit. The instructors accompanying them on this hunt were still the Golden Iron Triangle plus Zhao Wuji.
Flander, with his hands behind his back, looked at the little monsters he had trained with satisfaction. He clenched his fist slightly, coughed, and began to state the precautions.
"Let me make it clear first. Although the four of us are accompanying you this time, I'm stating in advance that the entire process of hunting spirit beasts will be completed by yourselves, including tactical deployment. Unless you encounter very powerful spirit beasts, we will not intervene."
He scanned everyone, and his voice suddenly turned stern. "After this separation of more than half a year, let me see your strength after this transformation!"
"Yes!"
