Tang 3 Returns, Xiao Wu Aspires to Become the Big Sister

Chapter 56 Tang San Returns, Xiao Wu Aspires to Become the Big Sister

Around noon the next day.

Tang San helped the dazed Yu Xiaogang into the room, and after settling his teacher in, he finally came out of the room.

Just like in the original story, Tang San successfully obtained his first spirit ring and returned, while Yu Xiaogang was poisoned by the Mandragora Snake. Even with Tang San's treatment, she still needed some time to recover.

Many fan fictions that use "blocking Tang San's path" as one of their most exciting elements feature plot points designed around Tang San's first spirit ring.

But You Chen had absolutely no intention of getting involved.

Firstly, the risk is extremely high. With Tang Hao around, if someone tries to directly scheme against Tang San, especially something involving spirit cultivation... if he forces or tricks Tang San into absorbing a ten-year spirit ring, you'll see if Tang Hao doesn't take care of you.

Secondly, in You Chen's view, the training path that Yu Xiaogang arranged for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was the "best path" in the eyes of them, Tang San's future enemies.

As for why it's the best?

That would have been a long analysis, but to avoid spoiling the reader's interest, I'll leave it out here.

Following Yu Xiaogang's instructions, Tang San planned to first go to the Spirit Hall to register and collect his gold spirit coins. However, before that, he planned to go back to his dormitory to inform his roommates that he was back.

"Huh? Wang Sheng, where is everyone? It should be another hour before dinner, right?"

Back at Dormitory 7, looking at the empty dormitory, Tang San asked Wang Sheng, the younger brother he had been forced to take on, with some confusion.

Without Xiao Wu, Tang San, who surpasses Wang Sheng, is naturally the nominal leader of the work-study students in Dormitory 7.

Upon hearing Tang San's question, Wang Sheng revealed a somewhat excited expression: "Third Brother, to be honest, if I weren't waiting for you here, I would probably have gone to watch the show in the woods behind the mountain."

"Wait for me? Watch the show?" Two question marks appeared above Tang San's head.

Wang Sheng explained at lightning speed: "Hey, in Dormitory Six, a new character has emerged in your first year, a little girl named Xiao Wu. I heard that so far, she's not only won over the first-year students in Dormitory Six, but she's also already subdued the second and third-year students. According to her, she wants to become the undisputed leader of the academy! So, the current leader of the sixth year, Boss Xiao, couldn't sit still anymore, and they challenged each other to a duel at noon today. I reckon they might already be fighting!"

It's the same conflict between Xiao Wu and Xiao Chenyu, but it differs from the original story in that this time it wasn't caused by Xiao Chenyu's plan to bully the weak work-study students. Instead, it's because Xiao Wu wanted to be the school's leader, which seems to have been her own initiative in causing the conflict!

"Wait, you mean Xiao Wu?" Tang San's eyes widened.

Tang San, who had not yet received Shrek Academy's education that "those who don't cause trouble are mediocre," was quite resistant to such meaningless fighting. In his opinion, it would be better to use this time to cultivate soul power or forge hidden weapons.

If someone else had started this fight, he would have just secretly scorned it, but... when the person involved in the fight was Xiao Wu, it was a different story.

He recalled Xiao Wu's personality. Although he had only interacted with Xiao Wu twice, he had already discerned that while she was kind at heart, she was also impulsive, reckless, and had a stubborn and shrewish personality that couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing.

When you think about it, it's not surprising at all that this happened.

"That's enough."

Tang San sighed softly and looked at Wang Sheng with a serious expression: "Wang Sheng, you should know how to get to the back mountain, right? Take me there."

Even if, objectively speaking, Xiao Wu did something bad to her teacher, subjectively, she was indeed acting in her own self-interest.

With this debt of gratitude, he could not possibly stand idly by!

Tang San convinced himself of this and asked Wang Sheng to lead the way.

However, he soon found Wang Sheng's speed too slow, so after Wang Sheng pointed out the direction, he immediately began to run wildly using the Ghostly Shadow Step technique.

While Tang San was still on his way, Xiao Wu and Xiao Chenyu's groups had already taken their positions in the grove behind the mountain.

Xiao Wu led nearly 90% of the students in Dormitory 6, while Xiao Chenyu was followed by most of the sixth-grade students.

The two leaders faced off in silence, the atmosphere tense and fraught with tension.

You Chen, who had been forcibly dragged here, glanced at the back of Xiao Wu's head speechlessly. He thought to himself, "At tens of thousands of years old, he still wants to play this childish game. Or is this kind of entertainment a bit too childish for a 30-something-year-old like him, but just right for Xiao Wu's age?"

Unaware of the inner thoughts of the "general" behind her, Xiao Wu soon engaged in a verbal battle with Xiao Chenyu.

It was, of course, the same old, tired content that had been read and reread by countless readers.

Topics like "The stakes are becoming a pet," "The pet rabbit of Nottingham," and "The corrupt rule is about to end. From today onwards, I, Xiao Wu, will stand in the heavens"...

Ultimately, under Xiao Chenyu's provocation, a duel rule was established: "Ten people from each side will take turns fighting in the arena to determine the winner," a rule that was completely advantageous to Xiao Chenyu and his fellow seniors.

Incidentally, You Chen was also drafted, making him the second to last in line, before Xiao Wu, and the final performer. It's clear that You Chen's opinion wasn't even asked…

"Should I just admit defeat then and see what kind of expression Xiao Wu makes? Anyway, this kind of thing perfectly fits my persona as someone who's oblivious to everything else and focused solely on cultivation."

As You Chen was pondering these absurd matters, his pupils suddenly contracted when his gaze swept over a somewhat familiar figure in the crowd.

At this moment, You Chen finally realized Hu Liena's presence.

"How did this guy end up here?"

You Chen frowned as he looked at Hu Liena, who was mixed in with the onlookers from other grades. He controlled his expression, but a rare feeling of irritation arose in his heart.

The other party was Bibi Dong's disciple, which in a sense represented Bibi Dong's face, so he could only legitimately retaliate when he was in the right.

Just as Bibi Dong had hoped, these harassing attacks, while not actually harming You Chen's interests, were truly disgusting and incredibly annoying.

Especially since Hu Liena had relentlessly pursued him all the way here even after he had left Wuhun City. Even with You Chen's temperament, a surge of anger rose within him.

"What is she planning to do now? Is she going to embarrass me in this arena duel? Given the concealment capabilities of mental abilities, and considering Yusei is only a regular one-ring Soul Master, it's theoretically possible. Or is she simply testing the mere appearance of my disguise?"

You Chen thought about it and became cautious.

Compared to information like "revealing that Yusei can resist Huliena's mental power," reputation is of little concern.

Just then, Hu Liena's gaze fell on You Chen, and she gave him a sweet smile.

You Chen remained unmoved, turning his gaze away as naturally as if he were looking at a passerby.
