"Holy crap!" Ma Hongjun executed a backflip to dodge the giant snake descending from the sky, then pursed his lips. "This is too brutal."
Seeing the half-dead Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent twitching on the ground, everyone was speechless. How much force must have been in that kick? This was a thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Xiao Wu looked at the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent with a hint of pity and hid behind Tang San.
Yang Tian clapped his hands and said to Oscar, "This thing is suitable for you."
Oscar never expected his spirit ring to be secured so easily. He excitedly said, "Thank you, Yang Tian." Then he took out a dagger.
"Under its fleshy crest is its weak point. Just stab it in," Tang San said. Oscar followed his instructions, saving a lot of effort.
Soon, a purple spirit ring condensed, and Oscar immediately sat cross-legged, beginning to absorb the spirit ring.
Just then, a hoarse voice rang out, "Wait a moment!"
Oscar's hand, which was guiding the spirit ring, paused slightly upon hearing this. Seeing this, Yang Tian said, "It's not your business. Hurry up and absorb the spirit ring."
Due to his strength, Yang Tian's words held the most authority among them. Oscar nodded, released his Spirit, and began to absorb the spirit ring.
At this moment, the person who spoke also arrived. Seeing that the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent had already been killed, his old face immediately darkened.
The newcomers were none other than Grandma Snake Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran.
Grandma Snake had a head full of white hair, but few wrinkles on her face. Her figure was slightly hunched, and she held a snake staff in her hand. Six spirit rings pulsed around her body, clearly indicating she was a Spirit Emperor.
Beside Grandma Snake was naturally Meng Yiran. She looked sixteen or seventeen, with a very beautiful face, short hair, and a neat, tight-fitting outfit that perfectly accentuated her well-developed figure. Her deep brown eyes were fixed firmly on the lifeless Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent!
"What's the matter?" Zhao Wuji stepped forward, and at the same time, his spirit rings rose from his feet, instantly displaying his Spirit Saint cultivation. Strength was the basis of all communication, especially in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Grandma Snake's pupils contracted upon seeing this, and her expression immediately softened considerably. "Respected Spirit Saint, I am Grandma Snake Chao Tianxiang. This snake was actually one we were pursuing. It had already been severely wounded by us, but now it has been killed by your student. Is this not somewhat inappropriate?"
Zhao Wuji frowned, then spoke, "So it's Grandma Snake from the Dragon-Snake family. I am Zhao Wuji.
It's truly unfortunate; we didn't know this was a Spirit Beast you were hunting. But since things have come to this, this spirit ring would be wasted if not absorbed."
Zhao Wuji's tone was a bit more respectful, but it showed no hint of apology. What a joke, they had already killed it, what else did they want? To bring it back to life?
"This..." Grandma Snake also knew that this matter was difficult to handle. After all, they had already killed it and started absorbing it. Forcibly stopping them would harm both parties.
At this moment, Meng Yiran suddenly spoke, "Why should the Spirit Beast we worked so hard to hunt be taken by them so easily? I'm not convinced!"
"What's there not to be convinced about? If you injure it, it's yours?" Yang Tian scoffed.
"Yes, if we injure it, it's ours," Meng Yiran said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, and said to Fatty, "Alright then, Fatty, if you injure her, she's yours."
Ma Hongjun's eyes gleamed at the words. Although Meng Yiran's looks were not as good as the three girls on their side, she was definitely a top-tier beauty, especially with her mature and powerful charm...
However, before Ma Hongjun could react, Meng Yiran glared at Fatty with disgust, then stared fiercely at Yang Tian, thinking: He's so handsome, yet so annoying!
Seeing Meng Yiran avoid him as if she'd seen a ghost, Ma Hongjun's face immediately fell, and he squatted in a corner, drawing circles in frustration.
At this moment, Grandma Snake glanced at everyone present, her eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Since the matter is already settled, then so be it. However, since Yiran is upset, why don't she have a spar with one of Ming Wang's students?
Yiran's spirit power is level thirty. I wonder which student dares to accept the challenge?"
Hearing Grandma Snake say this, Meng Yiran didn't object, then jumped out directly, pointed at Yang Tian, and said, "I want to challenge you! Just you, watch me not beat..."
"Sorry, I'm level thirty-three. You've got the wrong person." Before Meng Yiran could finish speaking, Yang Tian directly cut her off. Then, Meng Yiran stared at Yang Tian in disbelief. "How is that possible... How could you be level thirty-three?"
Yang Tian remained silent. In fact, he was waiting for a system quest, but unfortunately, no quest was triggered.
Zhao Wuji also thought this method was good, and immediately said, "Yang Tian is indeed thirty... thirty-three? Weren't you level thirty-one?"
Zhao Wuji looked at Yang Tian in surprise. Wasn't he level thirty-one when he enrolled? How did he become level thirty-three? Did he break through? And even skipped levels?
Seeing Zhao Wuji's ghost-like expression, Yang Tian immediately put on a stunned look. "No way? You guys don't all break through one level at a time, do you?
How is that possible? How could anyone endure breaking through only one level at a time, like squeezing toothpaste?"
"..."
Zhao Wuji was stunned for a while, then directly ignored Yang Tian and said to Chao Tianxiang, "Elder Sister Chao, among my students, there are three level thirty students who haven't obtained spirit rings yet: Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing. Which of you three is willing to spar with Miss Meng Yiran?"
Since they had nothing else to do, Zhao Wuji was happy to watch the show. Anyway, the possibility of his Little freak losing was very low.
Just then, Yang Tian spoke again, "Um, how about I go?"
Everyone's faces darkened. You're already a Spirit Elder, aren't you? Have you taken a liking to that beauty?
"Tian Ge, isn't that inappropriate?" Tang San said.
"How about I go?" Zhu Zhuqing said to Yang Tian.
However, Meng Yiran said, "Fine, just you. I don't believe you're really a Spirit Elder!"
Yang Tian smiled at her words, then stood still. "I won't bully you. I'll stand still and only use one hand. If you can push me back half a step or force me to use my second hand, you win."
"You, you're arrogant!" Meng Yiran's face flushed with anger. It was the first time she had seen such an arrogant person.
However, Tang San and the others quietly spoke up, "Tian Ge is clearly bullying her. In my opinion, one finger would be enough."
"..."
Chao Tianxiang's face grew darker and darker. What kind of people were these? Were they all so arrogant?
Meng Yiran had reached her limit. Her snake staff mercilessly smashed towards Yang Tian. In her opinion, even a Spirit Elder couldn't block this attack with one hand.
However, a situation that shocked both her and Grandma Snake occurred. The snake staff seemed to strike against divine gold. Yang Tian held the tip of the staff with one index finger. "One finger is one finger. I never bully girls~"
Yang Tian said it with a serious expression, but Ning Rongrong immediately exposed him. "Believe you, my foot!"
Meng Yiran retreated a few steps, her face filled with disbelief. Then, her spirit rings lit up beneath her feet. "First Spirit Ability, Snake Blade!"
A crescent-shaped blade of light was flung from the tip of the snake staff, slashing towards Yang Tian.
