The messages in the Chat Group gradually quieted down, and Wang Donger identified her competitors.
Counting Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who were traveling with Ao Yao, she had as many as six competitors in Shrek Academy!
This immediately gave Wang Donger a sense of urgency.
Before the shopkeeper could even bring the noodles she ordered, Wang Donger pulled out a gold coin from her bag, placed it on the table, and headed straight for the Shrek Academy registration office.
Now, there was a second problem to solve.
According to Ao Yao's diary, after enrolling, she would be assigned to the same dormitory as Huo Yuhao.
How could she avoid being in the same room as Huo Yuhao, or even manage to be in the same room as Ao Yao?
...
[The diary entry for the day has ended. System calculating...]
[Congratulations to Tang Ya for appearing the most times in the diary. Reward: Soul Power Level increased by two ranks.]
[Congratulations to Unfathomable Depths for being today's most active member. Title awarded: water-spouting dragon king. Unfathomable Depths may specify the general content of tomorrow's diary.]
[Rewards have been distributed.]
Tang Ya, who was about to return to Shrek Academy with Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Qin Qin, suddenly paused, her expression turning strange.
She had gotten her wish and become the person mentioned most in the diary book, and she had also received the diary's reward as hoped.
Only... was there something wrong with her reward?
Why was Wang Donger's reward a spirit ring upgrade, and Ning Tian even got a hundred-thousand-year Wisdom Skull, while she only received two ranks of spirit power as a reward?
What was this supposed to be?
Tang Ya almost choked and fainted.
Although with these two ranks of spirit power, she had successfully broken through the level 30 spirit power Bottleneck and only needed to hunt for a spirit ring to become a three-ring Spirit Elder and smoothly advance to the next grade.
But why couldn't she feel happy?
"Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you?"
Bei Bei looked at Tang Ya with concern, his voice tinged with nervousness.
When she saw Yu Hao again just now, Xiao Ya's mood had been off. This mood had persisted until now; he felt as if Xiao Ya was hiding something from him.
Hearing Bei Bei's gentle voice, Tang Ya only shook her head:
"It's nothing, but we might have to head back to the academy a bit later. I've broken through to rank thirty."
Hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Bei Bei's face.
The strength of three rings was enough for Xiao Ya to successfully advance!
"In that case, let's stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for a few more days. Yu Hao, is that alright with you?"
While excited, Bei Bei didn't forget to ask for Huo Yuhao's opinion, and of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn't say no. After all, his enrollment in Shrek Academy depended on the Tang Sect's Recommendation Quota.
Without this quota, he might have ended up wandering the ends of the earth with Brother Tianmeng.
"Xiao Ya, let's stick to our original plan and find a thousand-year Datura Snake or a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider as your third ring, how about that?"
Bei Bei's tone sounded like it was a given.
After all, Tang Ya had said that the ancestors of their Tang Sect had always added spirit rings this way for generations.
But to Bei Bei's surprise, a hint of hesitation and conflict flashed across Tang Ya's face.
It wasn't until Bei Bei turned his head in confusion that Tang Ya gritted her teeth and steeled her heart: "No, I've decided to change the type of Spirit Beast for my spirit ring. Bei Bei, Qin Qin, could you please help me find a Spirit Beast with a Life Attribute or something similar?"
A life-type Spirit Beast?
Qin Qin didn't think much of it, but Bei Bei was a bit stunned.
This... this doesn't seem right, does it?
Since it concerned Tang Ya's future, Bei Bei had to be more cautious: "Xiao Ya, are you sure you want to choose this type of Spirit Beast for your third ring instead of a Datura Snake or a Man Faced Demon Spider?"
"Your previous two spirit rings both added toxin effects to your Spirit. If the third spirit ring is still a poison-type Spirit Beast, it could fully strengthen..."
Before Bei Bei could finish, Tang Ya interrupted him:
"Let's go with a Life Attribute Spirit Beast, please."
Tang Ya's expression was stubborn and firm. Seeing her mind was made up, Bei Bei couldn't say more and could only sigh softly.
...
[It's another new day~ I'm getting closer and closer to Shrek Academy. If nothing goes wrong, I should arrive today.]
[Hmm? Today the diary has a special note asking me to write something related to Tang San?]
[Alright then, I'll write a bit about Tang San in the diary. When it comes to this Tang San, I really write as if divinely inspired!]
Seeing that the diary actually required him to write about Tang San, Ao Yao immediately became interested, and Wang Donger, who had already registered for Shrek Academy, also perked up.
As the water-spouting dragon king of the previous day, this diary entry was naturally requested by her.
She requested such an entry firstly to see if she could get her name to appear in the diary book more often, and secondly to learn more about this Sea God.
After all, what she was doing now could definitely be described as opposing Tang San, so it was always good to learn more about this person who became a god ten thousand years ago.
Seeing this content, almost every owner of a diary instance became interested, even the few Spirit Beasts.
[Speaking of Tang San, there are really too many points to complain about; I don't even know where to start.]
[Let's start with his father then.]
[His father, Tang Hao, the chosen son of the Clear Sky Sect, the one destined to succeed as Sect Master and make the name of Clear Sky resound across the continent... of all the things he could have played with, why did he have to play with a blade of grass!]
[Yes, that's right, playing with grass. This could be considered setting a precedent for the Tang Clan and setting a good example for his son.]
[Who would have thought that Tang San's mother was actually a Spirit Beast Transformation!]
Hiss...
Wang Donger, who was closely following the diary, couldn't help but gasp.
Originally, Wang Donger thought it was strange—why start with his father for a diary entry about Tang San? She didn't expect to see such explosive content right at the beginning.
The famous Sea God Tang San, his mother was actually a Spirit Beast!?
In that case... wouldn't Tang San not be considered a pure human?
As for the reactions of the other diary instance owners, most were similar to Wang Donger's, each looking at the diary content with expressions of those watching the drama.
More importantly, they smelled the scent of gossip!
This kind of secret from ten thousand years ago has no records; they probably could only see it here with Ao Yao, right?"
