Chapter 98 The Phoenix of Evil Fire (Part 1)

Early morning. [Google Search]

Tang San got up very early in the morning; cultivating the Purple Demon Eye had become an essential part of his daily routine. Moreover, there were several important things he needed to do quickly this morning.

When he left his and Oscar's dormitory, it was still dark outside. After a night's rest, Tang San's internal energy had recovered. Following Oscar's instructions, he quickly went to the open space where Zhao Wuji had tested them the day before and began to pack up his hidden weapons.

These concealed weapons were not easy to make, and he was reluctant to discard them easily. In particular, the crossbow bolt with its tightly wrapped floral design and the poisoned needle that was shot with sand-like venom were painstakingly made and took him a long time to make.

Fortunately, most of the hidden weapons used yesterday were still there. With the keenness of his Purple Demon Eye, he quickly found them one by one and put them back in their proper places.

During his years in Notting City, Tang San had already fully armed himself, and yesterday's battle with Zhao Wuji was the first time he had gone all out to unleash his hidden weapon skills.

As Tang San retrieved his hidden weapons, he pondered the gains and losses of yesterday's battle. Zhao Wuji's defensive power was truly astonishing. Fortunately, Zhao Wuji wasn't fast and hadn't used his full strength, otherwise Tang San wouldn't have had a chance at all. How should he deal with such a powerful opponent? And if he faced such an enemy again in the future, what methods could he use to defeat him?

Various thoughts flashed through Tang San's mind. He understood that his skill in hidden weapons was not yet refined enough, and these skills couldn't be improved in a day or two. The top-ranked hidden weapons in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu's Hundred Hidden Weapon Techniques almost all required powerful internal energy as a backing. If he wanted to deal with a powerhouse like Zhao Wuji with his current strength, there was only one way: to create powerful mechanical hidden weapons. For example, the three most terrifying mechanical hidden weapons of the Tang Sect: the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, and the Peacock Feather.

However, these three hidden weapons are extremely difficult to make, each with incredibly demanding material requirements. Under current conditions, it's simply impossible to manufacture them. Furthermore, although Tang San has made all three types of hidden weapons before and has considerable experience, it would still take him at least a year to remake any one of them, assuming the materials are successfully found.

With a sigh of dejection, Tang San shook his head helplessly. Given his current situation, crafting all three types of hidden weapons was unrealistic. It seemed his only option was to diligently cultivate and gradually improve the strength of his hidden weapons. At the same time, he also needed to better arm himself. He should find an opportunity to concoct some poisons first. However, datura snake venom was too limited.

After retrieving all the hidden weapons, Tang San jumped onto the roof of a house and began cultivating in the purple aura that was gradually appearing in the east.

Pressure can also be a driving force. After yesterday's battle, he already had a feeling that his soul power was about to break through level 29 and enter level 30. As long as he could enter level 30 and cultivate his soul power to the maximum level after a certain period of time, he could hunt down his third soul beast and gain another soul ring. At that time, his strength would experience another qualitative leap.

As the sun rose, Tang San returned to his dormitory. Oscar was still fast asleep, wrapped in his blanket. He had been drooling in his sleep when Tang San woke him up that morning to ask about his low exam score the previous day.

"Little Oscar, wake up." Tang San nudged Oscar.

"What are you doing? Let me sleep a little longer," Oscar mumbled in his sleep.

Tang San frowned and said, "Get up quickly. It's getting late. Don't you know that the early bird catches the worm?"

Oscar opened his eyes with a hint of helplessness, looking at Tang San. "I'm different from you guys. You're battle spirit masters. I'm a weapon spirit master, and a food-type one at that. I don't need the complicated training you guys go through. Big brother, please don't disturb me, let me sleep a little longer."

Tang San said helplessly, "Then tell me where Xiao Wu lives first. I want to go see if she's alright."

Oscar said, "If you leave our dormitory and turn left, about thirty meters away, there's a wooden house there. That's where Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong live. But I have to warn you. The academy has clear rules that male students cannot harass female students. Otherwise, the school rules are very serious. Our Shrek Academy occupies one-third of this village, and the other side is where the villagers live. Try not to go there."

Shrek Academy really didn't have much money; the entire academy was simply built on rented land covering a third of the village. The so-called school buildings were just old wooden huts belonging to the villagers. Fortunately, it was relatively close to Soto City, making shopping quite convenient.

Tang San left the dormitory again. He was already a little hungry, but compared to Xiao Wu, this problem naturally had to be solved later.

Soon, Tang San arrived outside Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's dormitory. Should he go straight in? If it were just Xiao Wu, it wouldn't be a problem; the two of them had lived in the same dormitory for so long and were siblings. But with another girl present, it would be a bit inconvenient.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang San still didn't go in, but called softly from outside, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."

Not long after, the door opened and Xiao Wu came out. She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and apart from being slightly pale, she looked fine.

Seeing her appear, Tang San immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Wu, are you feeling better?"

Xiao Wu gestured for Tang San to be quiet. "Rongrong is still cultivating, don't disturb her. Let's go talk over there."

For some reason, Tang San felt that Xiao Wu's gaze towards him seemed different today. He couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed.
