After the trip to Star Dou Forest, the seven of them along with Teacher Zhao returned to Shrek. It was almost night right now so they didn't do anything and went towards the dorms, but before they went Rongrong asked Tang San,

"Brother San, can we talk for a bit??"

No one apart from Xiao Wu bothered about that and went back, Xiao Wu who remembered Tang San saying about having a harem was quite distressed about it, so she went back with a sulking expression.

Tang San and Rongrong went to a secluded place to talk since Rongrong didn't want anyone else listening to their talk,

"Brother San, can you tell me more about your Second Spirit??"

He was a little astonished, why did she want to know about his second spirit so badly. He knew that everyone was interested in it but she was acting a little different from usual.

"I've already told you most of it, what more do you want to know??"

"Brother San, do you know why our Seven Treasured Pagoda has only Seven floors??"

He kept a thinking expression and said,

"Does it have something to do with your spirit rings??"

Rongrong showed a shocked expression and said,

"Right, our spirits are limited to only seven rings and we can't even cultivate to the Spirit Douluo level. So there has been a rule in our clan that, the direct descendants should take in strong spirit masters as their husbands, me having an innate spirit power of nine improved my chances of being the next clan head of the Seven Treasured Glass Clan and it is even strict for me to do so. With your great talent and intelligence, along with your twin spirits and these past few days I too have developed some feelings to you so can you be my boyfriend!!"

When he heard that he was shocked, he knew about the problem with the Seven Treasured Spirit which could only have 7 spirit rings to it and the method to solve this problem but he had never expected her to propose to him so early. He was happy but he didn't know how to convey his intentions to her.

"Rongrong, I have someone I already like and though that person has given me permission to have other lovers and wives I'm not sure you will be willing to do so, don't misunderstand I too have feelings for you but I can't only belong to you so based on that if you still think you want to be with me then I will always accept you no matter what. You don't have to answer me right now and think about it for a while, these feelings we have for each other may be small but they are true"

".....Is it Xiao Wu??"

"No, it's my teacher's daughter. I met her when I was six years old and I'm not even sure if she remembers me now but I still remember her and would never be able to forget her in this lifetime"

"Your teacher's daughter??"

"Yes, I haven't seen her myself for six years now and who knows when in the future I would be able to do so and I can't tell you more about her for now so please don't ask me. Based on this if you still think that your fine then as I already said, I will accept you no matter what!"

After that Rongrong went back to the dorms while thinking deeply about something.

He just gave a gave out a sigh and went back to his dorm and just slept in, every night he would sleep he used the Magical Space from the Samsara Eye and practiced his Blacksmithing, Alchemy and his cooking skills. After getting the cooking set he went to the kitchen in the pagoda and started to practice his cooking skills.

The only thing he felt a little sad about was that he couldn't practice his Medicine skills in the space and only brush up on the Medical knowledge but without practice, it was almost worth nothing.

The only reason his medical level was so high was due to his previous lives knowledge and theories, he also started his medical research in this world but that didn't progress too much mainly due to his current cultivation limitations.

The ranks he had in the Status was stagnated due to his cultivation and hadn't risen much in the past few years. Even his medical rank was so high only because of his Eye of Life which helped him skip a few ranks to obtain the 7th rank in medicine.

His other professions which depended on spirit rank was bypassed due to his Divine Buddha Meridians which gave him more Qi than compared to others of the same rank.

He had already opened his Eight Great Meridians due to the immortal herbs and improved his cultivation so he found no other way to improve his cultivation speed at all.

He gave up on that and focused on other matters so he continued with his Alchemy right now. A set of pills for everyone was already refined and he only needed to give it to Grandmaster while explaining their uses, he could give them to the other himself but giving it for free would surely hurt their pride so he didn't do so. Instead, if it was grandmaster then he would know a much better way to use these pills, when it comes to training he found no one greater than grandmaster that was including himself.

Though having memories of two lives his actual knowledge on the path of cultivation was truly limited so he was truly thankful to grandmaster for everything he did for him.

Right now the time ratio in the space was 30 times compared to outside and spirit density was nearly 39 to 40 times compared to outside. Outside the pagoda, he found that his plants and spirit herbs were now 1200 - 1500 years old and the same for his spirit wine.

He occasionally planted more herbs after a while as he used most of them for his Alchemy as ingredients, due to the spirit density and time ratio the plants were growing nearly 1000 times compared to the outside. This batch of herbs he had right now was only 1200 - 1500 years old only due to this reason. He also had herbs which were even 5000 - 6000 years old, once he broke through to the 40th rank the time ratio would increase even more so he was trying his best but due to his multiple spirits this difference was a little tough but he was sure to do so soon enough.

After spending some time in the Magical Space he came out and had some proper rest.

..

The next day,

In the principal's room of Shrek, Flender and Wuji were talking about the events that happened in Star Dou Forest.

"So a Titan Ape with at least 50,000 years of cultivation attacked you and you all escaped safely thanks to Tang San's second spirit??"

"Yes, not only that but Tang San is a true monster no he is a monster among monsters. His skills, planning, coordination all of them are truly great, I can say that even without me he would have found a way to escape from that situation"

While they were talking another sound came from outside the room,

"If that's all you think then you have greatly underestimated my disciple Motionless Bright King"

Flender who heard that laughed a little and invited the person inside, he was a middle-aged man with a little white hair growing and had a cold look on his face, he was none other than Yu Xiaogang, or also known as Grandmaster.

"Wuji meet my friend Xiaogang, he is also Tang San's master and is commonly known as the Grandmaster"

He then remembered about him and greeted him with respect, though he didn't have much in cultivation, he was unparalleled in theories. Only this person can raise a student as monstrous as Tang San.

"Grandmaster what do you mean by me underestimating Tang San?? I don't think I've missed anything and even gave him a great evaluation"

"In your trip was there any instance where you all were separated from Tang San or that he mysteriously disappeared for a while and appeared later with a reasonable explanation??"

Thinking for a while he remembered that in the night there was truly such an instance where he said that he went to relieve himself, he too felt a little weird about it but dismissed it as nothing so he didn't notice anything unusual about that. Now that it was mentioned by grandmaster he actually felt something weird happening.

"There was actually such an instance, but I don't think that it was anything important so why did you ask??"

"He should have done so to get a spirit ring for his other spirit and since he returned early that means he was successful in doing so, this means that he hunted for a spirit ring in the forest all by himself and that too in the night so that proves his combat power is more than you think"

Waiting for a while, he saw the surprised expressions on their faces and continued,

"Five years back, during a month's time he went to the Far North on his own and at that time he was only seven years old and he went there to get his second spirit rings, that's not all he even got four spirit bones during his trip"

When they heard that, they spat out all the tea they had in their mouth, but when they heard his next words they spat out blood from their mouths,

"Two of those bones were even external bones and all the bones were even absorbed by him completely. Torso bone and Left Arm bone were the other two bones which he had absorbed and both were from the same species the Ice Jade Scorpion"

Two external bones, they could not even imagine how precious they were, he even had two other spirit bones which were from a species which was one of the most feared ones in the North.

Zhao Wuji now felt that the evaluation he gave Tang San was barely anything compared to what he actually was, a monster among monsters?? Who was he kidding?? Tang San's actual potential was so strong that he couldn't even fathom it anymore.

"Xiaogang is what you said true??"

Sipping a cup of tea, Grandmaster spoke,

"Believe me, after he came back to the academy after the yearly vacations and told me all about it I too was shocked. That is not all he also has two other spirits which he hasn't told you yet"

"What do you mean by two other spirits?? A person can only have two spirits at most right... Wait so you mean to say he, in fact, has four spirits!!!!!"

Wuji just felt that his ears have gone deaf or maybe even stopped working after he heard that. Having twin spirits is enough for a person to be called the greatest genius of the century not to mention if one possesses FOUR Spirits!!

"His first spirit as you know is the Blue Silver Grass, his second spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer, his third-"

Fender who heard something inconceivable just stopped Xiaogang and asked,

"He's from the Clear Sky clan??? But that doesn't make sense, why would they not nurture someone as strong as Tang San as the next Clan Head or something?? Even they should know that having four spirits is something that has never happened before and he would surely stand at the top as long as nothing bad happens right??"

With the same cold look, he said,

"What you said is all true if he was an actual disciple of the Clear Sky Clan. But you also remember that nearly 12 to 13 years ago the spirit hall and a certain person from the Clear Sky Clan had a deep conflict which led to the death of the Supreme Pontiff. That person was then banished from the Clear Sky Clan, The Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao. He is none other than Tang San's father, with such a situation he would not be able to go back to the Clear Sky Clan much less ask then to train Tang San"

Wuji now had his hands shaking, Fender who always had a cool look on his face was now sweating deeply. If the previous description could be said about Tang San's potential and talent the. This would describe him as a clear threat who should never be messed with. Tang Hao was a person who dared to kill even the Supreme Pontiff so there doesn't need to be a mention of anyone else trying to offend him. With all this, only one thing could be said about Tang San and that would be NEVER OFFEND HIM!!!

Taking another sip Grandmaster then continued,

"His third spirit is the eye on the forehead you were talking about earlier it's called the Samsara Eye and even I've never heard about such a spirit so don't bother asking me, his last spirit is an even more oddity as it was something which could not even have appeared as a spirit the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.

In all the records I've seen or read there has never been a mention of such a spirit appearing in the entire continent. The only record of this beast is that it is one of the three Kings of the North and a beast with nearly 400,000 years of cultivation. The two bones which he has, the Torso one is from the same species as his fourth spirit so it was the one with the highest compatibility among all the Torso bones I can think of and his Left arm bone though it is from a normal Ice Jade Scorpion it gave him an extremely rare ability which can be found among ice type spirit beasts.

The two bones he has are at least 10,000 years old.

His fourth spirit also gives him the Absolute Ice which is the king among all ice types so it too is not a normal spirit. The only reason I'm telling you all this is to only remind you of how important Tang Sans presence and what the consequences of his death are"

After Grandmaster spoke the other two didn't know what to say and just stayed quiet for a while.

Fender then spoke up,

"Xiaogang why don't you join the academy??"

"Are you sure?? Though I came with such an intention, I would still have a few conditions"

"Any conditions are fine, you just have to tell them to me"

"I want the complete decision in the academy funds"

Just this one thing gave Fender a heart attack, being a greedy person who tried to cut cost at any was possible giving him the complete decision on academy funds meant he wouldn't be able to cut cost as he did before.

"....Fine, I'll agree to it"

To Zhao Wuji, the previous discussion of Tang San's potential would be shocking then, Fender allowing someone else to use his money was downright impossible.

"W-Who are you???"

"Shut up!!"

Then he turned towards Xiaogang with a serious face Fender asked,

"Xiaogang, in these few years did you ever think of meeting her??? You know that she never forgot about you right, she's still searching for you and waiting for you to this day"

"Flender I appreciate you letting me join the academy but please never bring this topic back up, right now I don't have time for such topics and want to just train my disciple and see how far he goes in the future"

"Sigh...let it be, but have you gone back home??"

"I still can't go back, not unless I have proof, otherwise I will only be a laughing stock. Though with Tang San's help I was able to solve my spirits problem, but with my age I don't have any hopes left and going back would only cause greater problems"

"What do you mean solve the problem of your spirit?? Don't tell me you were able to break through to Spirit Elder??"

He didn't say anything and just released his spirit. The previous Luo San Pao was nowhere and instead, a golden dragon which looked quite similar to the Blue Tyrant Lightning Dragon was now there and he had Four rings now Two Yellow and Two Purple. His spirit was now the Golden Saint Dragon which was formed with their previous fusion ability, seeing that Fender just hugged him and just laughed.

Grandmaster who had this problem with his spirit was now solved and maybe if he had kids in the future he may even possess the Saint Dragon as their spirit.

After telling Grandmaster about his third spirit he felt that his devour and refine abilities was not so simple and had more to them and only after a little while did he notice that he could specify what to refine since he could even devour spirits and absorb them strengthening his own spirit.

He tried this process with Grandmasters spirit first and only focused in the negative energies in his spirit and only after that was he able to do so, he didn't absorb others spirits as it was not something righteous to do.

He planned on using this ability in Slaughter city in the future as he didn't care about the criminals who live there.

He also noticed that his Samsara Eye was also capable of absorbing evil, death or negative energies along with good, life and positive energies and absorb them both after converting them into a neural type.

He contemplated that this was what it meant by Samsara, it was not only life but death too.

After that, they went towards the grounds and rang the morning bell.

When everyone gathered they saw that all the teachers along with a new person were standing in the training grounds.

But the suspense was not for long when Flender spoke up,

"Students, let me introduce you to your new training teacher, You Xiaogang he will be taking care of all your training with the assistance of all your other teachers including me and Vice-dean Zhao Wuji.

He is also Tang San's master and is commonly known as The Grandmaster"
