Tianlin was just about to leave when Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly said, "Wait, Xiao Tian, my million-year Spirit Bone seems to sense something from this Tang San."
"Sense?" Tianlin asked, puzzled. He calmed his mind and sensed, and the skull was actually warning him again.
This all stemmed from a Spirit skill, Predict Future. Even if this Spirit skill wasn't actively released, Tianlin's perception of danger would be much sharper.
"Could it be related to Tang San?" Tianlin walked to Tang San again. "Spirit Bone Skill, Predict Future!"
A strong light enveloped Tang San, and a strange scene entered Tianlin's mind.
After a while, Tianlin came back to his senses, his mind trembling. "What exactly was that scene just now? How strange? Damn it, the time was too short, I didn't see much."
Tianlin sat cross-legged, thinking. The scene just now had never appeared in the original story. He wasn't in it, only Tang San and something else, but since the skull was warning him, it must be related to him.
"Xiao Tian, calm down. I don't know what you saw just now, but whatever it is, now that you know, prepare for it in advance." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transmitted his voice.
Tianlin took a deep breath and calmly said, "You're right, thank you for reminding me, Brother Tianmeng. But if that's true, Tang San, I'll help you one more time, and help myself one more time."
Afterward, Tianlin used the second application of Predict Future, pre-setting his two Spirit skills in Tang San's body, which would be released when the time came.
"Tang San, I'm sorry, I have to use you one more time, but if the things in the scene really happen, then this isn't really harming you." After Tianlin finished speaking, he turned and left. From the scene just now, something terrible would happen in the future, and he needed to think carefully.
Tang San's luck as the protagonist of the original story was indeed extraordinary. Using Predict Future on him once resulted in a cooldown time of up to three years. Now, even if Tianlin wanted to rely on Predict Future to find other clues, he couldn't.
Three hours later, Tang San slowly woke up. He had completely forgotten everything in the illusion, only remembering that Shi Nian had suddenly attacked him, and then he had passed out.
He quickly got up and checked himself. Tang San strangely discovered that his mental power was not only unharmed, but it was even stronger than before. Furthermore, Shi Nian was also gone. The only thing he was missing was the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night, which had been taken away.
"Could it be that Shi Nian let me go? Was his purpose only the skull in my Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night? But from what the Dean said before, he's not such a soft-hearted person, is he?" Tang San was puzzled, but he also knew that this place was not suitable for a long stay. If Shi Nian returned, he would really be finished.
Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and, without knowing anything, quickly ran back to Shrek Academy.
Before he even reached the Academy gate, Tang San already saw Xiao Wu standing there, anxiously waiting.
"Brother—" Seeing Tang San, tears welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes, and she rushed over like a swallow.
Because he had been missing for too long, Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai, who had the best relationship with him in the Academy, were extremely worried.
The others weren't saying they weren't worried at all, after all, they were classmates, but they weren't as panicked as Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, don't worry, I'm completely fine. I just went for a walk in the woods after chatting with Brother Jun." Tang San comforted her, stroking Xiao Wu's head. He didn't mention Shi Nian's matter, so as not to worry Xiao Wu.
"Where's the Grandmaster? I have something to find him for."
"Grandmaster is also very worried about you. He's in the Dean's Office now, and he also told us that as soon as you come back, we should immediately tell you to go find him." Dai Mubai said from the side.
Tang San nodded and said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, you go rest first, I'll be back soon."
"Okay!" Although Xiao Wu was reluctant, she also knew that Tang San was in such a hurry to find Grandmaster, there must be something very important to say, and she wouldn't be willful and insist on going with him.
Tang San arrived at Grandmaster's office. The door was only ajar. He pushed the door open and walked in. "Grandmaster, I'm here."
"It's good that you're back!" Grandmaster stood up and sternly questioned, "Tang San, what exactly happened just now? Just chatting with Sword Prince, how could you disappear for several hours?"
"I was attacked, by Shi Nian of Canghui Academy." Tang San no longer had any concealment from Grandmaster.
Grandmaster's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this. "You're talking about Can Meng Shi Nian? Did he do anything to you?"
Shi Nian was a Soul Master known for his cruelty, vindictiveness, and unscrupulous means to achieve his goals. Anyone who became his enemy would basically not have a good ending.
The lucky ones die quickly, the unlucky ones can't even die if they want to, and can only collapse completely in despair, then suffer brain death.
Tang San shook his head, "He didn't do anything to me. I fainted as soon as I saw him, and then, he took my Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night."
"You fainted as soon as you saw him? Shi Nian is a Soul Sage of the spiritual type, and his mental power is extremely strong. He must have stunned you," Grandmaster analyzed, thinking he understood. "But why has he changed his nature? He never used to just take treasures without killing people."
Unable to figure it out, Grandmaster simply gave up thinking about it. "Forget it, it's good that you're okay. It's just a Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night, just let it go. The things stored inside are all your Hidden Weapons, right? We can just make them again later. Don't you still have the one million Gold Soul Coins that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gave you?"
"I don't care about those basic Hidden Weapons. Even if Shi Nian gets them, he won't be able to copy them without the blueprints. But, there's also a Spirit Bone inside, and it should be a plant-type poison-attribute skull. It was given to me by Sword Prince of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a supplementary fee for the Hidden Weapon blueprints I gave them after the cooperation ended." Tang San frowned. How could he be in a good mood when a good treasure was snatched away as soon as he got it?
"What did you say?" Grandmaster couldn't remain calm this time. In his vision for Tang San, he had only chosen two types of Spirit Bones.
The first choice was a power-type Spirit Bone that increased physical fitness the most, which would be used with the Clear Sky Hammer in the future, and also to prepare for adding Spirit Rings to the second Spirit.
The second choice was a plant-type Spirit Bone, which would be used with the Blue Silver Grass to strengthen the Blue Silver Grass's toughness. It would be best if it had poison, which could also increase its power.
"Bastard Shi Nian!" At this moment, Grandmaster's image was completely ruined. Spirit Bones are simply too sensitive in the Soul Master world.
Especially skull and Torso Bones. Such an important treasure was snatched away, Grandmaster could scold Shi Nian for three days and three nights without repeating himself.
On the other side, Tianlin also returned to the dormitory, and lay down on his bed as soon as he came back, his mind turning with unpredictable thoughts.
Turning over to look at the ceiling, Tianlin muttered to himself, "Butterfly effect? Or something else?"
Although an incomplete picture doesn't mean much, Tianlin really wants to find out the truth of the matter.
