The next day, Tang San and the others limped out of the tavern early in the morning, terrified of running into Qian Renchuan and his group again.
The three of them first went outside to find a healing Soul Master for treatment. After eating a few recovery sausages, their injuries were simply healed, and they re-entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Damn Qian Renchuan! What's the big deal? I just looked at his sister, and he poked my eye out!"
Ma Hongjun, now far from the tavern, grumbled indignantly, his left eye covered by an eye patch. After all, the eye socket was empty, which looked terrifying.
"Don't talk about it. Isn't this all your fault? You were blinded by lust. If it weren't for you, why would you have been beaten?"
Ning Rongrong said with some dissatisfaction. She was almost scared to death at the time. Although she had joined Shrek Academy, it didn't mean she was completely brainwashed now. She also gave Ma Hongjun a look of disdain.
"Hmph, it was just a glance."
Knowing that Ning Rongrong's family background was extraordinary, Ma Hongjun didn't dare to retort. He ran off secretly, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
Moreover, it even came with a trace of divine power, which was different from the pure divine power of the God Realm. Instead, it seemed to be a mixture of the seven deadly sins, such as lust and greed.
Also, a soul that shared the same origin as Ma Hongjun was quietly sleeping in Ma Hongjun's mental sea, hidden away.
"Alright, stop arguing. The Star Dou Great Forest is very dangerous; you're not here to fight."
Zhao Wuji wasn't in a good mood either. After all, he had been beaten up by a junior, which had cost him the face of the Immovable Ming King.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you pay close attention to your surroundings. Report immediately if anything happens."
"Ning Rongrong, use your Second Soul Skill to speed up the team. Let's try to find a suitable soul beast quickly. After all, even on the outer edges of the Star Dou Great Forest, it's still unsafe at night."
"As for the three of you, Xiao San, stick close to me. Oscar, make recovery sausages now."
Zhao Wuji made all the necessary arrangements, then told Tang San and the others to walk ahead of him, while he stayed behind to guard against sneak attacks.
The sun was high in the sky when Zhu Zhuqing, perched atop a tall tree, suddenly called out to the others below, "Attention! Something's coming. A flying soul beast is heading our way."
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, Zhao Wuji instantly released his martial soul, placing himself in front of Tang San and the others with a vigilant expression.
"That's a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent!"
Seeing the approaching soul beast, Zhao Wuji's face lit up. As a Soul Saint, he naturally recognized it.
A Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent gained a hundred years of cultivation for every half-meter of its length. This one was seven meters long, with a cultivation of around 1400 to 1500 years, perfectly suited for Oscar.
"Don't move, you lot. I'll take care of that beast first."
Having searched for half a day and finally found a suitable soul beast, Zhao Wuji wasn't about to let it go. He charged forward immediately.
"Second Soul Skill, Great Strength Diamond Palm!"
The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was already injured and couldn't fly fast. Zhao Wuji's sudden attack slammed it heavily to the ground.
"Oscar, come over here quickly."
Zhao Wuji also noticed the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's injuries. Otherwise, even he might not have been able to catch up to it. He wanted Oscar to quickly kill it. If others came, they would be helpless.
Furthermore, Phoenix-tail Crested Serpents were rare. Finding one that matched the Soul Ring age was even rarer. The Soul Skill it produced might also grant flight. If Oscar really obtained a sausage that could make people fly, that would be a real treasure.
Seeing the dying Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, just as Oscar arrived and was about to strike, an old voice stopped him.
"Stop!"
As the voice echoed, the surrounding leaves rustled, and a snake shadow appeared, slowly landing on the ground.
Snake Granny looked at the dying Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent on the ground and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it was killed, she wouldn't be able to do anything. She had put in a lot of effort to injure the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. She didn't know when she would encounter another one.
But seeing the seven Soul Rings on Zhao Wuji's body, Snake Granny didn't act rashly. Although Dragon Duke was nearby, her granddaughter was still here. She couldn't gamble with her granddaughter's life.
"I am Snake Granny. We injured this soul beast after chasing it for a long time. Please, Immovable Bright King, return it to us."
It's Dragon Duke and Snake Granny. This is troublesome.
Zhao Wuji's expression was serious. If it were other forces, he could just kill them and eliminate the evidence, not fearing any trouble. But Snake Granny was here, and Dragon Duke must be nearby. He couldn't just take down Snake Granny. If he were tied up and Dragon Duke arrived, he wouldn't have a good outcome.
"Our academy's disciple also needs this soul ring, so I'm afraid we can't give it up."
Zhao Wuji looked at the meat he almost had and how could he just give it up? He would naturally try his best to get it. Maybe he could get it after all. He immediately said:
"How about this? Let the two young people of the same age fight. Whoever wins gets the soul ring."
This could be considered a rule in the world of soul masters, so Snake Granny didn't hesitate to agree. After all, Yiran was a level 30 Quasi-Soul Elder, only thirteen years old. Even if the other side was a genius, they wouldn't surpass Yiran.
Seeing Snake Granny agree, Zhao Wuji was first delighted, then looked at the injured Tang San and the others. His face turned dark. The main force was crippled. What was the point of fighting?
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she was only at Level 27, and her strength wasn't outstanding. Her martial soul was just a common advanced one, so there was no way she could beat Meng Yiran, who was three levels higher.
"I'll do it, Teacher."
Tang San said with considerable confidence. Looking at Meng Yiran not far away, his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of arrogance. Back then, he had only made a slight move to defeat Meng Yiran, and even though he was seriously injured now, it wasn't something a small fry like Meng Yiran could defeat.
"Are you sure you can do it?"
Zhao Wuji didn't know Tang San's real strength because Qian Renchuan had messed up the assessment.
"Trust me, Teacher. My injuries are about seventy or eighty percent healed, there won't be a problem."
Dai Mubai, who was on the side, also said confidently, "Don't worry, Teacher Zhao. Tang San's strength seems no weaker than mine, so you can rest assured with him."
"Alright, don't push yourself."
Zhao Wuji looked at Tang San with a half-believing expression, thinking, Could this kid really be that strong? He and Qian Renchuan both had Blue Silver Grass, so maybe he did have some skill.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her fists clenched. Could I really be that useless? She thought. I must get stronger. At that moment, her desire to become stronger reached an unprecedented level, to the point where she was almost frantic to quickly improve her strength.
Unfortunately, her own strength was lacking, and her relationship with Ning Rongrong was just a superficial one. No one cared about her change at this moment.
Tang San stepped out from the group, lifting his head proudly. After suppressing himself for so long, it was finally time for him to show off. He, Tang San, had never been this miserable before.
Qian Renchuan had suppressed him for a full six years, year after year. Sometimes he even suspected that Qian Renchuan was the true reincarnation of a God King.
Now, he was going to stand up again. That was the absolute confidence that belonged to him, Tang San, the God King. Tang San looked at Meng Yiran with a faint smile, saying, "Tang San, a Level 29 Soul Grand Master, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. I wonder, do you dare to fight me?"
Faced with Tang San's arrogance, Meng Yiran was stunned at first. She had thought he was some Soul Elder genius. But he was only Level 29, and his martial soul was the useless Blue Silver Grass. Who gave you the courage?
