Dai Mubai, seeing this, didn't dare to be careless any longer and directly used White Tiger Vajra Transformation. His body's muscles swelled up a size, and he struck out at Ye Zhiqiu with a palm.
"Mystic Water Ice Seal."
Ye Zhiqiu's Second Spirit Ring lit up, and a wave of frost condensed around him, directly freezing Dai Mubai's legs in place.
Just as he was about to step forward to continue attacking Dai Mubai, Tang San's Blue Silver Entanglement arrived, directly binding Ye Zhiqiu.
Immediately, the Mystic Tortoise's Third Spirit Ring lit up.
"Third Spirit Skill, Mystic Water Surge."
A wave of water rippled outwards, and countless Blue Silver Grass was shattered on the ground.
Purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes, and his right hand caressed the Soul Tool.
Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow at this.
"Is Old Tortoise courting death?"
Just as Tang God King was about to resort to underhanded tactics, Zhao Wuji's voice suddenly came from the second floor.
"Why aren't you sleeping at this late hour? What's all the commotion?"
"Teacher Zhao!"
Hearing the voice, Ye Zhiqiu immediately withdrew from his Spirit Avatar state and frowned as he looked at Zhao Wuji.
"You're the teacher of these guys? They injured my students. How do you think this should be settled?"
Zhao Wuji smiled disdainfully, jumped directly from the second floor, and arrived in front of Ye Zhiqiu.
"How should it be settled? How about I settle it with this fist?"
"Hmm?"
Before Old Tortoise could react, Zhao Wuji's fist made intimate contact with his face.
Immediately afterward, a familiar Tom-like scream echoed.
After a long while, Ye Zhiqiu lay on the ground like a dead turtle, unconscious.
Zhao Wuji cracked his knuckles.
"It's so refreshing to beat people without using my Spirit."
"Alright, get some rest early. Tomorrow, we'll enter the forest for Soul Hunting. Get your conditions in order."
"Yes, Teacher Zhao."
The little ones all ran into the hotel, intending to rest and adjust their conditions.
The next day, the group arrived at the entrance of the forest. Zhao Wuji looked at the students beside him.
"Mubai, you arrange the formation for advancing. I won't take action unless absolutely necessary."
"Yes, Teacher Zhao."
Following that, Dai Mubai arranged for Tang San and Ma Hongjun to clear the path in the front, with Xiao Wu in the middle to protect the two small support-type Spirit Masters, while he and Little Cat covered the rear.
The others had no objections to his arrangement, and the group set off towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dai Mubai clearly had other intentions, constantly fawning over Little Cat in the rear, trying to mend the rift between them, but Zhu Zhuqing ignored him all the way, leaving him feeling deflated.
Xiao Wu walked along, casting sympathetic glances at Ning Rongrong.
"Do we really have to kill those Soul Beasts?"
Rongrong understood her little sister's thoughts and comforted her.
"It can't be helped. If we want to advance, Spirit Rings are essential. Let's just try not to kill indiscriminately."
"Okay."
Just a few hours after they set off, a disturbance suddenly came from the forest ahead.
"Zhuqing, observe the situation."
Dai Mubai looked at Little Cat beside him, wanting her to scout the situation, after all, she was an agility-attack type Spirit Master.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't answer, directly activating her Spirit and jumping onto the giant tree in front.
"It's a snake, with a pair of wings at its seven-inch spot, a cockscomb on its head, and a fan-shaped tail."
Tang San pondered for a moment and looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Miss Zhuqing, check the length of the snake and the color of its wings."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and looked at the snake again.
"It's about six to eight meters long, and the wings are bright red."
Tang San smiled at Oscar after hearing this.
"Oscar, your Spirit Ring has been found. This is a Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent of 1300 to 1800 years. This snake is non-toxic but extremely fast, even ordinary Soul Elders can't catch up with it."
Oscar was overjoyed to hear Tang San's words, never expecting to find a suitable Spirit Ring so quickly.
The others glanced at Zhao Wuji on the side, and seeing that he had no intention of intervening, they understood that he wanted to train their practical combat abilities.
So Tang San immediately arranged for everyone to form a formation. Ning Rongrong was not stingy either, directly summoning her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and all three Spirit Rings shone simultaneously, adding buffs to everyone.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly rushed towards the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent, her Netherworld Hundred Claws waving, grabbing at the snake's body.
The Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent, in pain, flew towards the encirclement.
Seeing this, Tang San didn't hesitate, activating Parasitism and Entanglement at the same time. A massive net formed by Blue Silver Grass directly enveloped the snake.
Seeing the snake trapped, Dai Mubai came directly above it, and a White Tiger Light Wave hit its head directly, knocking it unconscious.
Zhao Wuji smiled as he watched the well-coordinated group, feeling very gratified.
"Oscar, come on, its weakness is the cockscomb on its head. As long as you start from here, you can easily kill it."
Seeing the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent faint, Tang San introduced it to Oscar.
"Wow, Tang San, your knowledge is too vast. Accurately identifying the age is one thing, but you also know the weaknesses so clearly?"
Oscar took out the dagger he carried with him and walked towards the snake, praising Tang San.
Tang San smiled and said, "That's all thanks to my teacher. After studying with him for six years, I can recognize the age and weaknesses of most Soul Beasts."
"Teacher?"
"There's no rush to talk about that, let's absorb the Spirit Ring first."
Oscar didn't delay upon hearing this and was about to end the snake's life.
But just as he was about to act, an old voice came over.
"Young man, hold on!"
Zhao Wuji heard the shout and looked over vigilantly.
An old woman with gray hair and a young woman appeared before them.
"This snake is the prey of our grandmother and granddaughter, you can't kill it."
Zhao Wuji frowned. "You say this is your prey, what's the proof?"
"Hmph, you can check under the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent, there are wounds inflicted by this old woman."
Oscar quickly turned over the snake's body and found that there were indeed traces of being attacked by a sharp blade. He hurriedly looked at Teacher Zhao anxiously.
"Teacher!"
Obviously, he didn't want to give up this rare Spirit Ring.
Zhao Wuji nodded when he saw this and looked at the old woman with a calm expression. "Even if you injured it, so what? This snake was caught by my student."
Seeing that the other party didn't intend to let go, the old woman's tone became unkind, and six Spirit Rings appeared on her body, showing her cultivation as a Soul Emperor.
Zhao Wuji was not to be outdone, and the Vajra Bear appeared behind him, with seven Spirit Rings emerging in turn.
Seeing that the other party's cultivation was higher than her own, the old woman's expression stagnated, and she hurriedly changed her attitude. "Respected Soul Sage, this old woman is Chao Tianxiang, please do me a favor. Your student doesn't seem to need a thousand-year Spirit Ring, does he?"
Zhao Wuji's heart trembled slightly, this name sounded familiar. "Could you be Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang? The Peerless Dragon Snake, Dragon Duke Snake Woman couple?"
"That's right."
Zhao Wuji cupped his hands at Chao Tianxiang. "I am Zhao Wuji. Originally, since Sister Chao has spoken, I should give you face, but my student is just at the cusp of Soul Grandmaster, so please forgive me for not being able to comply."
"Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji?"
Chao Tianxiang was also surprised to hear Zhao Wuji's name. She didn't expect this kind of troublemaker to run to the academy to become a teacher.
