Shrek Team Area!

Although Shrek Academy emerged victorious, the atmosphere here was anything but cheerful. Ning Rongrong and Oscar were merely drained of their spirit power, which wasn't too severe. 

However, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and others were in far worse shape. Their injuries were severe—one worse than the other. Unlike Tang San, they hadn't consumed immortal herbs to strengthen their physiques. Coupled with the disadvantage in spirit power, their head-on clash with Elephant Armor Academy led to predictable results. 

When Wang Li arrived, he saw a well-built girl holding a healing staff high as she treated the injured. However, as a Spirit Elder with only three spirit rings, she seemed to be struggling. 

Wang Li remarked, 

"Defeating Elephant Armor Academy despite lacking a Spirit Ancestor—truly impressive." 

The group looked at Wang Li but quickly averted their gazes. Oscar, his face pale, lowered his head and muttered helplessly, 

"So what? Now we're battered and broken. In the next matches, we'll probably have to forfeit." 

Wang Li stepped closer, surveying the group with injuries ranging from minor to severe. He shook his head and smiled as he said, 

"Miss, step aside for a moment. Leave this to me—after all, we're all friends." 

The well-built girl, whose name was Jiang Zhu, was stunned for a moment but eventually moved aside. 

Amid the group's puzzled gazes, Wang Li extended his right hand, palm facing downward. Several strands of Blue Silver Grass sprouted and wrapped around the injured individuals with precision. 

Blue wisps of energy flowed through the Blue Silver Grass into their bodies. The previously unconscious and weak group began recovering at a visible pace. Broken bones and torn muscles healed swiftly, with internal and external wounds closing rapidly. 

Jiang Zhu exclaimed in disbelief, 

"Their injuries... they've all healed! What incredible healing power!" 

Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and the others looked at the recovering students, then at Wang Li, all visibly moved. 

Yu Xiaogang was utterly shocked. Wang Li's spirit was the Blue Silver Grass, but how could a Blue Silver Grass spirit possess such formidable healing abilities? 

Tang San stared intently at the blue energy threads, feeling an inexplicable desire. It seemed that if he could absorb these threads, his strength would increase far more than if he devoured spirit beasts. A faint red glimmer began to appear in his eyes. 

Before long, Wang Li retracted the Blue Silver Grass, exhaled deeply, and said, 

"Eat more nutritious food to recover faster. This is all I can do for now." 

Healing their injuries was already a significant contribution. Wang Li didn't go so far as to counteract their overall weakness as well. 

As his words fell, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and the others gradually regained consciousness. Though they appeared somewhat listless, their injuries were mostly healed. 

Still in a daze, Ma Hongjun mumbled, 

"What just happened? I felt this warm sensation, and suddenly I was much better!" 

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing shared similar feelings, their expressions reflecting lingering astonishment.

Flender's face lit up with excitement as he spoke to the group: 

"Why aren't you thanking Wang Li already? Without him just now, you wouldn't have recovered like this!" 

The group, full of gratitude, responded in unison: 

"Thank you!" 

Wang Li waved his hand and gave a calm smile. 

"We're all friends—no need to be so formal. Be cautious in the upcoming matches. Fight if you can, but if you can't, it's better to forfeit. You still haven't fully recovered and need some time to recuperate." 

Flender nodded repeatedly. 

"Yes, yes, yes. We'll be careful. Wang Li, we're truly grateful to you. If you ever need Shrek's help, we'll spare no effort to support you!" 

Wang Li simply smiled without saying a word. His true goal was Tang San's *Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record*. Even though Tang San wouldn't willingly give it up, Wang Li intended to take it for himself. 

At this moment, a staff member from the Spirit Master Tournament arrived and directly announced: 

"To the leader of the Shrek Academy team: the leader of the Elephant Armor Academy team has filed a complaint with the committee. They are accusing Shrek Academy of maliciously injuring their team members. Their team is now in a weakened state and unable to continue the tournament. They are requesting that your team be disqualified. Please come with us to provide an explanation." 

Liu Erlong, with her fiery temper, immediately exploded. 

"Disqualify us? We fought fair and square! If they lost, they lost—stop trying to deny it! If they want a fight, I'll gladly oblige!" 

Flender quickly stepped in to stop her. The shrewd businessman in him saw an opportunity as his eyes darted around with a cunning glint. Adopting an aggrieved expression, he declared loudly: 

"Maliciously injuring them? I'd like to file a complaint about them maliciously injuring us! Look at the state of our students! Even with a healing spirit master, they haven't fully recovered. How are we supposed to participate in the next matches?" 

He turned to Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang. 

"Erlong, Xiaogang, let's go settle this properly and see how this matter should be handled." 

Yu Xiaogang understood Flender's intentions and turned to Tang San. 

"Xiao San, you should leave and return to the academy for now. Leave this to us. You were the key figure in injuring the Elephant Armor Academy team members, so it's best you avoid being seen right now. Mubai, Zhuqing, Hongjun—they'll stay here to explain the situation." 

Tang San nodded. 

"Understood, Teacher." 

Wang Li saw his chance and casually remarked, 

"I'll leave as well, then. By the way, Tang San, I haven't seen Xiao Wu around. Hasn't she been participating in the tournament?" 

Tang San glanced at Wang Li, suppressing his inner restlessness, and replied in a concerned tone, 

"Xiao Wu was trying to break through to the next level, but she failed and injured herself. She still hasn't fully recovered." 

Wang Li appeared genuinely surprised. 

"So that's what happened. Sometimes rushing can backfire. Cultivation requires steady progress. How about I go with you to see if I can help Xiao Wu in any way?" 

Recalling Wang Li's miraculous healing abilities earlier, Tang San hesitated but then nodded. 

"Alright, I'll leave it to you." 

With that, Wang Li accompanied Tang San as they left the Grand Spirit Arena, while Flender, Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, along with the recovered Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun, headed to the tournament committee to demand an explanation.

*On the way back to Shrek Academy...* 

Tang San repeatedly wanted to ask Wang Li about his healing abilities—what exactly those blue energy threads were and how they worked. 

But he couldn't bring himself to ask. Especially since it was Wang Li, the person he both envied and resented. Even after learning about his own origins, Tang San had never been able to truly let go of his complicated feelings toward him.

Wang Li paid no attention to Tang San's internal struggles. Silently, he scanned their surroundings, a flicker of light flashing in his eyes before everything returned to normal. 

It was time. 

Unknowingly, he and Tang San had veered off their original path, heading deeper into the wilderness. 

Having consumed the *Gaze-Penetrating Dew*, with both a spiritual spirit ring and a spiritual spirit bone, Wang Li was unfazed by illusions. Even the illusions of a Spirit Saint, or those of a Titled Douluo, were incapable of trapping him. 

Summoning his spirit, Wang Li activated his domain. His *Blue Silver Grass* spirit and spirit rings were disguised, blending seamlessly into the environment. At the same time, he subtly unleashed his fifth spirit ability. 

The Blue Silver Grass grew rapidly, sprouting beautiful, multicolored blossoms. Yet within the domain, nothing was visible. Pollen and fragrance gradually spread, imperceptibly taking hold. 

Elsewhere, a white-robed elder stood, his thin frame exuding a sinister air. His cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, his expression radiating malice. 

Eyeing Tang San and Wang Li, who had unknowingly followed him into the wilderness, the elder sneered disdainfully. 

"Geniuses? Just so. Anyone who obstructs my Canghui Academy shall be eliminated one by one. Tang San of Shrek Academy, Wang Li of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy—your misfortune lies in your closeness to Tang San. Both of you will die here today." 

The white-robed elder wore an eerie smile, but suddenly, his expression froze. 

In reality, Shi Nian had already fallen into a deep sleep, trapped within a dream of his own making. Everything in this dream played out exactly as he desired, leaving him smiling peacefully. 

But his physical body told another story. Thick, snake-like Blue Silver Grass vines were coiled tightly around him, constricting with tremendous force. 

A sickening series of cracks echoed as bones shattered. Despite his internal organs being crushed and blood flowing from his orifices, Shi Nian's face remained frozen in a serene smile, never regaining consciousness. 

When he finally died, a radiant light gathered atop his head, slowly condensing into a shining skull. It seemed almost alive, emitting a pulsating glow. 

Wang Li approached step by step, gazing down at the smiling corpse. Shaking his head, he remarked, 

"If you hadn't been careless enough to fall into my illusion without realizing it, defeating you head-on would've been far more difficult." 

His eyes fell on the spirit bone forming atop the corpse. Wang Li picked it up, quickly recognizing its ability: *Illusion Space*, a skill resembling a domain. 

However, Wang Li already possessed a skull spirit bone. Stashing this one into his storage soul tool, he thought of saving it for Dugu Yan. He also knew that another spiritual *Wisdom-Condensing Skull* awaited as a prize in the Spirit Master Tournament. 

With a wave of his hand, the Blue Silver Grass vines constricted further, fully retracting. What remained was only a twisted corpse, its bones and internal organs entirely shattered. 

Wang Li collected the corpse into his storage soul tool before turning to check on Tang San's condition. Finding that he was merely unconscious, Wang Li smiled and said, 

"Good, he's only asleep. Tang San, I'll take you back to Shrek Academy first." 

With that, Wang Li picked up the unconscious Tang San and began the journey back to Shrek Academy from the desolate wilderness. 

---

Meanwhile, Tang San was trapped in what felt like an endless, boundless dream. Memories flooded his mind like a rising tide—memories of Ghostly Cliff, of the Tang Sect… of the excitement when he first stole the *Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record*, and the thrill of studying it. Each word and phrase etched itself vividly in his heart, as clear as if it had happened yesterday. 

---

*As dusk fell at Shrek Academy...* 

Flender, Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, and the Shrek Seven Devils anxiously waited by the main gate. 

When they saw Wang Li approaching with Tang San in his arms, they were first overwhelmed with joy, then quickly alarmed. They rushed forward in unison, taking Tang San from Wang Li's arms while casting puzzled and questioning looks at him. 

Wang Li shook his head, his expression somber. 

"We need to head back to the academy. Today has been far too dangerous." 

Once they returned to the backwoods of the academy and settled Tang San down, Wang Li retrieved a corpse from his storage soul tool and said: 

"This person was the one who slowly lured us out into the wilderness. But he was careless. He thought we had no means of resistance." 

"But in reality, my fifth spirit ability also creates a hypnosis illusion. I saw through his illusion and dragged him into it. Though it only lasted a few seconds, it gave me the chance to strike back." 

The corpse was in a tragic state, contorted and disfigured. It was clear that all of the bones and internal organs had been shattered. 

The most unsettling part was that, even in death, the man's face still wore a smile—disturbing and eerie. 

When the others recognized the face, Flender was taken aback. 

"Shi Nian! He's from Canghui Academy. He must be a Soul Saint at the very least, and his spirit, *Broken Dream*, is particularly troublesome. You killed a Soul Saint!" 

Upon hearing this, the others turned to Wang Li, their expressions a mix of awe and confusion. They never imagined that the usually cheerful Wang Li, who was always laughing and joking, possessed the power to kill a Soul Saint. 

Wang Li waved his hand, letting out a helpless smile. 

"This isn't the time to discuss that. The truth is, he was too careless. If he had gone all out from the beginning, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to turn things around." 

"Though I broke free from the illusion, Tang San... he wasn't injured. His breathing is steady. He should be fine." 

Yu Xiaogang's face grew grim. He had momentarily set aside thoughts of Wang Li's strength, now focused entirely on his disciple. 

Although Tang San hadn't been physically harmed, the eerie and tricky nature of Shi Nian's *Broken Dream* spirit left Yu Xiaogang worried. If Tang San's mind had been damaged, he would be beyond saving. 

The pale-faced Xiao Wu, having deliberately injured herself to avoid the tournament, stepped over to Tang San's bedside. She gently called out: 

"Big Brother!" 

The Shrek Seven Devils also spoke in unison: 

"Xiao San!" 

"Third Brother!" 

Perhaps hearing their calls, Tang San slowly began to wake up, sitting up with a dazed look on his face. 

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Xiaogang hurriedly asked: 

"Xiao San, how do you feel?" 

Tang San came to his senses, his eyes lighting up with renewed clarity: 

"I… I think I just had a really long dream!" 

As his mind cleared, Tang San recalled the dream. He had dreamed of his past life, of the time he had stolen the *Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record*, but only managed to obtain fragments. The true top-tier inheritance of the record seemed to be hidden elsewhere. 

Flender, relieved, began recounting the events: 

"Xiao San, it's all thanks to Wang Li that you avoided Shi Nian's assassination. But we won't let this go. Now that we have Shi Nian's corpse, we can report it to the organizing committee and have Canghui Academy expelled from the Soul Master Tournament. That way, we won't need to compete tomorrow. Everyone can rest and recuperate." 

Tang San turned to Wang Li, feeling a bit awkward. 

"Thank you!" 

Wang Li smiled lightly, replying: 

"No need to thank me." 

He had already acquired what he wanted, securing a part of the inheritance while sealing away the rest.
