18 Shrek's Entrance

After getting the Purple-Gold Crystal they searched for an inn in the city, Xiao Wu then pointed at a Love Hotel and dragged him in there, he was seriously not sure whether she was innocent or doing this on purpose. But he didn't stop her and let her do as she wished when they went inside Xiao Wu booked a room but just when the manager was about to give him the keys.

"Hold on manager, isn't that my room?? How can you just give it to others"

Tang San turned back to see who it was, he saw a handsome guy with blonde hair and was walking with two chicks while hugging their waists.

He knew that this person was Dai Mubai and was the senior in Shrek, he didn't want to pick a fight with him but if he didn't stand his ground now then he would surely be looked down upon and that was not something he liked so he responded in a cold way,

"But we got here first, and we already paid for the room. If you want then come back tomorrow when its free"

The manager was sweat dropping at this scene, he didn't know how to handle this situation he tried to give another room to Mubai but he refused on the spot and said to Tang San.

"You're a spirit master aren't you, how about we settle this with our fists instead?? Oh, and manager the repair costs are on me so don't worry if we break anything. Well I'm pretty sure it's going to get over pretty soon though"

"I couldn't agree more"

He then released his Blue Silver Grass and used its first ability Scale Bind, Mubai who didn't expect him to have Blue Silver Grass as his spirit so he was a little shocked. But he then had a grin on his face and introduced himself.

"Spirit Evil Eyed White Tiger, Rank 37 Spirit Elder, Dai Mubai"

"Spirit Blue Silver Grass, Spirit Elder, Tang San"

He was a little surprise that Tang San was a Spirit elder too but he thought that he was only at the early stages. They both had a line up of Two yellow and One purple rings which was the ideal configuration.

The River grass which went towards Dai Mubai wrapped around him he used his first and second techniques, White Tiger Barrier and White Tiger Lightwave to cut it apart, he was a little surprised at its hardness, he had to use nearly half of his spirit power to break it.

But then Tang San used his own second ability Web Bomb and threw a cluster of river grass towards him, he then used his third and second ability White Tiger Diamond Form and White Tiger LightWave to attack it. But then before he could even hit it, the cluster split apart like a web and captured him.

He wanted to rip it apart but felt that his body was not moving, he understood that he was poisoned. He then released his spirit and just gave up.

Even Tang San released his spirit freeing Mubai, he was a little reluctant at his loss since Tang San was only a Tool spirit master and in close combat, he as a beast spirit master should hold the advantage but it was now clearly his loss so he couldn't say anything else.

"Well looks like you're strong and seeing that you're nearly 12-years-old you should be here for Shrek's entrance right??"

"I only won because you underestimated me and didn't go all out from the start. I'm also a Spirit Elder so it was your fault that you underestimated me"

"Well that is true, I guess. If you have any problems in Shrek then just say my name Evil Eyed Dai Mubai"

Saying that he left the hotel while giving a pouch to the manager for the damages. Tang San who saw him leaving just had a smile on his face, Xiao Wu who saw that had a shiver down her spine. She knew that smile all too well and had even once experienced it, she just looked in the direction of Dai Mubai and just gave a sad all-knowing smile to him.

After that they went towards the room, there was only a single bed for two people and an attached bathroom there was also a closet full of 'toys' but Tang San just locked it up.

"This room is so nice there is even a bathroom inside it"

"Well some people want to clean up after having sex so they use that facility"

"S-S-Sex!!! W-W-What do you mean by that brother san???"

"Well, this is a love hotel so obviously people come here to have sex, you're the weird one who came here to spend the night"

"I….I didn't know about that, Why didn't you stop me then??"

"Well, it's cheap and nice. Plus, you didn't tell me anything so I didn't bother with that. Leave all that and let's just sleep, we have to walk a lot tomorrow"

"Brother San, how did you know couples like to take a bath after…after...sex??"

"Obviously, I have knowledge about all that, otherwise how will I manage all my wives in the future??"

"Wives??"

"Did I never tell you about it?? I want to have my own harem and let's just sleep I'm tired and if you want I'll answer all your questions tomorrow"

"Wait brother san, what do you mean by harem!! I need to know about this as your sister, hey, don't just go to sleep without telling me anything"



The next day,

Right now Tang San and Xiao Wu were walking towards Shrek Academy, he knew that it was far but he didn't expect it to be this far. Xiao Wu gave up and asked him to carry her, he just rolled his eyes and took her up like he was lifting up a bag of luggage. She complained at first but then when he changed it to princess carry, she blushed and didn't speak anymore while keeping her face hidden in his chest.

Soon they reached a village and saw that there was a signboard with a green face in it, he saw that there was a huge line near the signboard. He went towards it and saw people complaining near the entrance about how expensive the price was but they were driven away by Mubai.

"Hey, there brother Mubai we wish to apply so how much do we have to pay??"

"Oh you're finally here, I've been waiting since morning for you guys. Teacher, they want to apply so check their age and rank"

"It looks like you know Mubai, give me your hands I'll be checking your age and then show me your spirits to check your spirit ranks. Know that if your age is 13 or above, or if your rank is below 20 then no matter what you will be disqualified"

They gave their hands for him to examine, he first examined Xiao'er's age and then his,

"Your age is 12 years you pass and you… do you practice some hand arts?? The bone structure of your hands are different"

"Yes I do, so how will you determine my age now??"

"Its fine, we'll check your legs instead"

He then showed his leg and got a pass in age. After that, they both showed their spirit rings Xiao Wu had two yellow spirit rings and Tang San had two yellow and one purple rings. He then gave them a pass and told them to go to the next exam, just then they heard a sweet voice from the line, Tang San turned back and saw a beautiful girl with pink hair she had a noble aura to herself.

She then showed her spirit and a seven-storied pagoda which formed in her hand. He was a little surprised at how it looked as this was the first time seeing it, though he may have read about it, seeing it was different.

He then said,

"If you want you can come with us, we are also going to the next exam and we even have a senior accompanying us"

She looked towards the person who was speaking to her and was a little surprised. He was a handsome man with skin fairer than even herself and had a deep black hair, he looked really handsome even by her standards. She gave a slight smile and said,

"Why thank you, my name is Ning Rongrong"

"Hi, my name is Tang San but close ones call me Brother San"

"Then, I'll call you brother san, you too can call me Rongrong"

He suddenly felt his feet hurting, he saw that Xiao Wu was stamping it while having a smile on her face. He smiled back and started to stamp her feet in return, he didn't bother explaining and went along with the rest when he saw another figure in the back, she had black hair with a cold expression on her face.

He knew that this might not be a proper time to go and talk to her so he just ignored her for now and went with the rest. Mubai who he thought that would go and try to chase after her, didn't do that and instead ignored her completely.

This surprised him, he knew that in the novel he tried a lot to get her to forgive him for what he did but now it looks like that was not the case. He didn't care about that and went to the next test.

While going to the next test he saw a guy selling hot dogs, he had a white beard with white hair. He knew that this was one of Shrek's Seven Devil's, Oscar, later known as Food God. To keep the timeline intact he needed to motivate him and the same for Ma Hongjun.

In the original novel, he knew that due to lazing around here he was only able to become a second class god and was not able to bring his wife to the god realm this led him to great sadness. He would try to let him avoid that if possible.

He asked for a hotdog from the shop and got a roasted hotdog, he paid the usual silver coin and went back. He and Xiao Wu already had breakfast so he only bought this as a snack. Though he wanted to avoid eating this but, as he had to do so sooner or later hence he decided to get used to them as soon as possible.

After that, he ate the hotdog and went back to where Mubai and the others were. They were getting their spirit ranks appraised as getting above the 25th rank meant direct pass to the fourth exam.

Xiao Wu was in the 29th rank, Rongrong was in the 26th rank and Zhu Zhuqing was in the 27th rank. He smiled and showed his three rings which meant that he was in the 30th rank at the least so he also got a pass. While they were going to the fourth test, Mubai was explaining the history of the school and all the students who were there.

They were surprised that there were only three students in the academy right now and they finally reached the fourth exam stage. They saw a fifty-year-old or so man sleeping on a chair,

"Teacher Zhao, these people are here for the fourth exam and they also skipped the second and third tests"

He was a little surprised at this and started laughing,

"Good! Good! it looks like we have a lot of monsters this year. Mubai, I'm going to be their final examiner so you just stay back"

Hearing that, Mubai tried to persuade him otherwise but it led to nothing so he then gathered Tang San and the others and told them about Zhao Wuji's spirit and abilities. They were surprised that he was a Spirit Sage, Rongrong then recognized him as Motionless Bright King.

Then they started to tell about their spirits so that they could know what battle method they should do.

"Xiao Wu, Beast Spirit Rabbit, 29th ranked assault system spirit master"

"Ning Rongrong, Tool Spirit Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, 26th ranked auxiliary system spirit master"

"Zhu Zhuqing, Beast Spirit Hell Civet, 27th ranked agility attack system spirit master"

"Tang San, Tool Spirit Blue Silver Grass, 39th ranked control system battle spirit master"

When they heard Tang San's rank they were all surprised except for Xiao Wu, they knew that he was only 12-years-old this year and hearing that he was a spirit elder on the verge of becoming a spirit ancestor they didn't know what to think.

"Since we all have different spirit system our matchup might not be that bad. Rongrong will be in charge of supporting us and try to limit your boosts to our respective categories as it would lessen the burden on you, Xiao'er will be the main assault and Zhu Zhuqing will try to distract him with random attacks from the flanks. I'll be in charge of controlling and restraining him while simultaneously supporting Xiao Wu's attacks"

"Discussion is over you have one incense stick before you pass"

As he said that, Xiao Wu charged straight at him and Zhu Zhuqing was circling around him with the intention to attack at any time. Rongrong then boosted Xiao Wu's and Zhu Zhuqing's strength and speed while boosting Tang San's strength. Zhao Wuji then attacked the ground towards Rongrong, Tang San was prepared for that and used his Scale Bind to pull Rongrong near him.

Xiao Wu used this chance and used her first spirit ring and attacked his upper body. Tang San let out his Bind near his legs, Zhu Zhuqing then started to attack Wuji, right at this moment, Wuji activated his spirit which enlarged his body to nearly twice his size.

His spirit rings then came up two yellow, two purple and three black a total of seven rings. Seeing Xiao Wu's attack not working Tang San then released his rings two yellow, one purple while his third ring was glowing and the scale bind on Wuji suddenly disappeared and turned into blue petal all around him started to attack him.

With Rongrong's boost, his petals also had their speed increased with the cover of petals Xiao Wu's and Zhuqing's attacks were hidden which made it difficult for Wuji to defend against them. He suddenly felt that his vitality was being reduced little by little along with his spirit power.

Though it was at a very small rate over time it would prove to be fatal, as soon as he thought of using one of his spirit abilities a blue ball of grass came flying at him, due to the petals in the air along with two people attacking him, he was unable to properly sense it but this was mainly due to Tang San's control over hidden weapons, the blue ball then exploded right near his face. This released a lot of blue pores onto his face.

He knew that he was poisoned, without thinking about anything he activated his real guard which made golden armor cover his body. Tang San then used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps and went straight towards his stomach with a strong punch with his spirit power.

Everyone was surprised at his decision to fight at close combat, tool spirits especially blue silver grass was not something that was a spirit which would be good at close combat but what happened next surprised everyone. Since Zhao Wuji had not completely activated his real guard and that was also true near his stomach along with his underestimation of Tang San not using anything to guard himself and with Tang San's Nine Heart's Body he never stood a chance and spit out his morning's breakfast.

Taking a distance from him Tang San said,

"Teacher Zhao, your time of one incense stick is over and we are still standing so do we pass??"

"…..You pass"

Wuji was truly not in a good mood right now, his fault was that he had underestimated Tang San and the rest thinking that they were only Spirit Grandmasters and Spirit Elders which led to Tang San's last strike to be effective, if he had used even his spirit power he could have easily defended against that strike not to mention his Real Guard.

Dai Mubai then called Oscar who gave a few vitality healing and detoxifying sausages to Zhao Wuji though the others refused straight out after hearing the chant, Tang San asked for a Vitality healing sausage which shocked everyone including Oscar.

"I'm interested in women just to clarify don't misunderstand me I've never seen a food system spirit master so I wanted to try out how it feels"

After that, he felt that his vitality was slowly improving and any injuries he had sustained were slowly healing up. He took a detoxifying sausage from him which was almost the size of his little finger and ate it, he only felt that his body was a little cleared of impurities as he wasn't really poisoned.

After that Rongrong and Zhuqing surrounded Tang San and continuously asked him questions regarding his third spirit ring and how he was able to send out such a strong punch in the end.

Tang San obviously didn't hold back much and told them that his Third Spirit ability was Petals and it was from a Peach Life Tree which was a, 2000 to 3000-year-old spirit ring and his last punch was due to him training his body and to a great extent at that.

They were a little taken aback by the fact that his third spirit ring was a 2000 year ring as the limit for the third spirit ring was 1800 years old. This meant that he had broken through the limit and absorbed the ring.
