"Roar!"
Tang Hao let out a furious roar toward the sky.
His muscles bulged, and the previously gray hair instantly turned black. The wrinkles on his face vanished, and his short hair stood on end like steel needles. The middle-aged man, who had appeared to be in his fifties, now looked like he was in his thirties.
At this moment, his piercing eyes radiated an aura as unyielding as an ancient demon god! His entire spirit, energy, and vitality were completely renewed!
Even the Celestial Azure Bull Python (Tian Qing Niu Mang) looked at this suddenly erupting Tang Hao with deep seriousness. It could feel that the Tang Hao before it was completely different from the Tang Hao just moments ago.
"Come fight!"
Tang Hao swung the large hammer in his hands. Years of lingering ailments had vanished, and now fully restored to his peak in his thirties, his combat power was no longer comparable to before.
Now, with no old injuries restraining him, it didn't matter how long he dragged the battle.
Elsewhere.
At this moment, Yun Chuan was leading Tang San and the others, quickly moving out of the forest. Entering required caution and searching for soul beasts, so their speed had been slow. Now, with fewer concerns, they could just rush straight ahead.
The sky was beginning to lighten.
Through his Plant Domain, Yun Chuan sensed that Tang Hao had fully recovered and could continue holding back the enemy. He exhaled in relief—if Tang Hao hadn't been there to stall, at the Celestial Azure Bull Python's speed, they probably wouldn't have even left the forest before being caught. That would have been disastrous.
Seeing Tang Hao struggling to hold on due to old injuries, Yun Chuan used his Life Goddess Martial Soul to quickly heal him. No matter what, helping "Old Dad" now was also for his own benefit. Out of a sense of returning a favor, he directly healed Tang Hao, allowing him to better delay time.
With Oscar's sausages to fill their stomachs, and Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tower assisting, the group ran tirelessly, almost frantically, toward the forest's edge.
Finally.
The group emerged from the Star Dou Forest and soon reached the small town.
Even then, it wasn't completely safe—the Star Dou Forest was still too close. Yun Chuan wasted no time and directly hired two carriages, carrying the exhausted group away from this dangerous area.
There was no choice. Killing the Titan Ape meant that the Celestial Azure Bull Python would undoubtedly pursue him relentlessly. With Xiao Wu around, able to relay information, they had to escape far and fast. Otherwise, if the Celestial Azure Bull Python burst out of the forest at midnight and came straight here, countless people could be affected.
The two carriages carried the boys and girls separately.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?" Ning Rongrong asked, noticing that Xiao Wu had been silent since leaving the Star Dou Forest. Zhu Zhuqing also glanced over, clearly concerned.
"I'm fine, just a little scared," Xiao Wu forced a smile and gave a casual excuse.
"I see. Indeed, I didn't expect to see a hundred-thousand-year soul beast this time." Ning Rongrong nodded, her heart still uneasy. "Luckily, Teacher Tang was there, or the five of us probably wouldn't have made it. That was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"
Next to her, the normally taciturn Zhu Zhuqing also nodded slightly, a trace of lingering fear on her face.
'It's fine! Er Ming just missed me and came looking for me!' Xiao Wu screamed inwardly, but outwardly forced a reply: "Yes, thankfully Teacher Tang was there."
On the boys' carriage:
The carriage Yun Chuan hired was spacious enough for five people without crowding.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar looked at Yun Chuan, who sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, lost in thought, and had countless questions. But they didn't know where to start, and asking probably wouldn't get an answer.
Yun Chuan was silently consolidating his soul power, feeling the changes in his body after absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul bone and soul ring. First, his physical constitution had greatly improved. Beyond that, nothing extra—no new divine powers or anything. That hundred-thousand-year soul bone seemed purely like a supplement. Its two inherent soul bone skills didn't manifest at all. He didn't mind.
"Currently, apart from precious minerals, soul bones must be at least hundred-thousand-year to be worth absorbing. I wonder if celestial herbs would help? In that case, the next stop should be to look for celestial herbs and see if they can benefit me." Yun Chuan decided quickly. He also felt it was time to leave.
Back in the Star Dou Forest.
"Boom!!!"
"Rumble!!!"
The battle between Tang Hao and the Celestial Azure Bull Python continued. Tang Hao, fully healed, was at his peak. His body was strong and vigorous! Since his goal wasn't to win but to stall, he had managed to drag out the fight for a surprisingly long time.
Judging by the time, Yun Chuan and the others had likely already escaped the forest. Tang Hao prepared to retreat successfully.
"Rumble!!!"
After smashing the Celestial Azure Bull Python away with another hammer strike, Tang Hao turned and ran. The Celestial Azure Bull Python, seeing this, instinctively wanted to give chase, but suddenly realized its initial goal was never to fight this Title Douluo—it was to rescue the Titan Ape. So after all this time…
Thinking this, the Celestial Azure Bull Python's mood grew extremely heavy. Following the Titan Ape's aura, its coiled serpent body made a loop before dashing swiftly in a direction.
The Celestial Azure Bull Python was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, it reached the Titan Ape's location. Seeing the completely charred corpse, its eyes turned blood red! It let out a furious roar toward the heavens!!!
"Moo!!!"
"No matter who you are! I will kill you!!!"
The surrounding forest trembled under the Celestial Azure Bull Python's pressure. Mixed with murderous intent, the terrifying aura spread in all directions!!!
Meanwhile.
The guilty party—Yun Chuan and the group—had long since left the Star Dou Forest, returning to Shrek Academy.
Seeing the familiar academy emblem, Tang San and the others felt a surreal sense, as if they had stepped out of another world. This journey through the Star Dou Forest had shocked them in countless ways. They had not only seen the legendary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, but also the legendary twin martial souls, and witnessed firsthand the first soul ring of a truly twisted, blackened monster!!!
