Chapter 23 Beibei vs. Xu Sanshi
During this period, every weekend, Bei Bei and Tang Ya would participate in special training at the Tang Sect training ground with Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao.
After several special training sessions, Beibei and Tangya both felt that they had made great progress, and they didn't know how to repay them.
They were just two minor Soul Masters. Tang Ya, needless to say, lived off her monthly Soul Master allowance and her parents' inheritance. Although Bei Bei was Mu En's great-grandson, his ancestor would also give him cultivation resources, which were Soul Master level resources that even Soul Saints wouldn't want. As for Huo Yutong, their attributes were different; his ancestor gave her lightning and light attributes.
After a brainstorming session, "Xu Sanshi," and "Xuanshui Dan," Beibei and Tang Ya said respectively.
The two exchanged a glance and realized they were thinking the same thing. Although Huo Yutong had already broken through to the second ring, the Xuan Shui Pill was indeed the best gift they could give.
Xu Sanshi, who was at the flower shop picking out flowers to give to Jiang Nannan, suddenly sneezed for some reason.
"Is Nan Nan thinking of me...?"
…………
The outer court arena of Shrek Academy was already packed with people. The two senior students participating in the duel were known as the "Outer Court Twin Stars," and their promotion to the inner court was just around the corner.
Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan held hands, and Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao, who were also holding hands, sat down in the front row of the spectator seats.
Although Jiang Nannan disliked Xu Sanshi, she wanted to see him get beaten up, since she would leave after the duel was over anyway.
"Hello, both of you juniors, I'm Jiang Nannan." Jiang Nannan greeted them kindly.
With some time before the competition started, the four girls chatted together.
Xu Sanshi didn't know why Bei Bei suddenly challenged him to a duel, and confidently told him to prepare to lose. But at this moment, standing in the Soul Arena, none of that mattered, because Nan Nan was watching him from the sidelines. Before the match started, Xu Sanshi even tidied his hair and clothes.
Meanwhile, Bei Bei on the other side was fully prepared to win. After undergoing special training from Teacher Huo Ziyan, Bei Bei felt that she was incredibly strong. Not only had her soul power improved, but more importantly, her combat experience and combat awareness had also improved.
Students in the stands were already cheering them on.
"Beibei! Beibei!"
"Xu Sanshi! Xu Sanshi!"
"The match begins!" came the referee's command.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi immediately activated their martial spirits and engaged in fierce combat.
Offstage, Tang Ya was explaining to Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao, "You all know about Bei Bei's martial soul and soul skills. Xu Sanshi's martial soul is the Xuanming Turtle, a beast martial soul with extremely strong defensive power. At this moment, he is using his second soul skill, Xuanming Shield Formation. As you can see, it can split the Xuanming Shield into small pieces for movement and defense..."
On the field, Xu Sanshi was thinking about what Bei Bei had been doing lately. How could he be so strong? His strength, speed, and reaction had all improved significantly, especially his reaction, which was much faster than before.
Even when I tried to use the Xuanming Shield Array to distract myself and control a few smaller shields, I couldn't find a gap to do so...
Another fierce attack from Beibei interrupted Xu Sanshi's thoughts, forcing him to focus all his attention on dealing with Beibei's attack.
"Thunder Dragon Claw! Thunderous Force!"
Beibei used both of her soul skills simultaneously and defeated Xu Sanshi.
"Beibei! Beibei!" The audience began to cheer, and Jiang Nannan left the audience at that moment.
"Match over! Beibei wins!" the referee announced.
Off the field, Xu Sanshi first scanned the room, not seeing Jiang Nannan, before putting his arm around Bei Bei's shoulder. "Bei Bei, you're something else! What have you been up to lately?"
"Actually, our Tang Clan recently welcomed two new guest elders, and one of them has been giving us special training recently," Bei Bei said.
"Here you go, the Xuan Shui Pill you promised." Xu Sanshi readily took out the prepared bottle containing the Xuan Shui Pill.
Beibei took it and handed it to Huo Yutong.
"Yutong, we've been wanting to thank our two teachers, but we couldn't think of a gift. Please accept this Xuan Shui Pill."
"That's right, Yutong, just accept it." Tang Ya took the medicine bottle from Bei Bei's hand and put it into Huo Yutong's hand.
"...Thank you, Brother Beibei and Sister Xiaoya!"
"The Xuan Shui Dan is a unique pill of my Xuanming Sect. It is made from the essence blood of water-attribute soul beasts and water-attribute spiritual herbs. It has the effects of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the soul, enhancing soul power and improving cultivation aptitude. It is particularly effective for soul masters below level 20..." Xu Sanshi naturally began to introduce the effects of the Xuan Shui Dan, but it inexplicably felt like a sales pitch.
Within the sea of spirit.
"Human pills sound amazing, but my sister's Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow is still the best," Tianmeng said.
"When we soul beasts encounter rare and precious treasures, we consume them directly," said the Ice Emperor.
"Human elixirs are not simply the sum of spiritual herbs, but the fusion of energies within them, creating an effect greater than the sum of its parts. Yu Tong, show it to Bi Ji; perhaps it will bring her a different perspective. Soul beasts can also learn human alchemy," said Ilex.
Teachers' dormitory.
Brigitte led Huo Yutong into her dormitory; the teachers' dormitories at Shrek Academy were all single rooms.
The room's fresh and elegant furnishings perfectly matched Brigitte's style.
Brigitte wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, of course, decorative glasses without a prescription, because she felt that wearing glasses made her look more like a teacher.
"Sister Biling, this is a Xuan Shui Pill that Brother Beibei and Sister Xiaoya gave me. The teacher said you can take a look at it, and perhaps you will have a different understanding." Huo Yutong took out the medicine bottle containing the Xuan Shui Pill.
Biji took the medicine bottle, poured out the Xuan Shui Dan, and carefully felt its properties.
"The essence and blood of several thousand-year-old water-attribute soul beasts, the sap of the Azure Vine, the Frost Marrow Branch... I can't guess any more details."
If the high-level alchemists of the Xuanming Sect knew that someone could guess several of the main spiritual herbs just by looking at them, they would probably faint from shock, as that would be a risk of the alchemy formula being leaked.
"Yutong, do you know where Beibei and Xiaoya got this pill?" Biji asked.
Huo Yutong murmured the story of Bei Bei's battle with Xu Sanshi.
"Yu Tong, this pill will be good for you. Go back and take it first." Bi Ji put the Xuan Shui Pill back into the pill bottle.
Recently, Brigitte has been working hard to learn human writing. There are several dictionaries and some introductory textbooks on her desk. Through hard work, Brigitte has already learned most of human writing and has developed beautiful handwriting. She has also received a lot of help from the female teaching assistant assigned to them by the academy.
Biji had already made plans. During her vacation, she would go back and teach the ferocious beasts in the core area and the 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the mixed area to read. In the future, soul beasts would definitely have to communicate with humans, and in order to communicate better, it would be necessary to learn human writing.
After seeing the Xuan Shui Dan, Bi Ji felt that there was still much for her to learn from humans. Human pills were indeed unique, and she could go to the library to look up human pharmacology. She could also ask Lin Qingqing (the name of the female resident teacher) if the academy had any master alchemists.
