Chapter 106 I feel you have ill intentions Chapter 106 I Feel You Have Humble Intentions
For several days in a row, Zhu Zhuqing stayed in the small courtyard to cultivate.
"Creak~"
The gate was pushed open, and Lu Feng slowly walked into the courtyard. He went to work at the Soul Arena as usual these past few days. Although he had a rich woman supporting him, Lu Feng was still unwilling to give up the perfect attendance bonus he deserved.
In the small courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing's clothes were soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her skin, and the outline of her graceful figure could be vaguely seen.
Her slender waist seemed so fragile that it could be grasped with one hand, and her long legs were full of power. Strands of black hair clung messily to her cheeks, adding a touch of wild beauty.
The only flaw was
that her slightly heaving chest was still bound.
"Miss Zhuqing, although your second soul skill is powerful, it has a very obvious weakness." Lu Feng looked at the sweat-drenched Zhu Zhuqing and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately stopped cultivating.
She was panting heavily, and although she was exhausted, her eyes remained firm and focused.
"What weakness?" Zhu Zhuqing asked疑惑地.
"Have you heard of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?" Lu Feng asked cryptically.
"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "The Chaotic Cloak is the signature technique of the Haotian Sect, so of course I know it."
"Then tell me your opinion on the Chaotic Cloak."
Zhu Zhuqing said confidently, "The Chaotic Cloak is a technique that uses the opponent's force against them, by continuously swinging the hammer and then amplifying one's own power. However, this move has a weakness, which is..." Zhu Zhuqing
stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked uncertainly, "You mean, my second soul skill also has a similar weakness, that the charging time is too long and it's easy to be interrupted?"
Lu Feng clapped his hands and praised, "Not bad, Miss Zhuqing is indeed very clever."
Zhu Zhuqing pondered for a moment. She recalled her past battles, and the number of times she had perfectly executed her second soul skill was indeed not many.
"Then what should I do?" Zhu Zhuqing asked doubtfully.
Lu Feng coughed lightly and took out a forging hammer from his soul tool.
"You also know the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the hammer in Lu Feng's hand, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique wasn't exactly a secret martial art; even ordinary blacksmiths knew its name. However, aside from strength-type Soul Masters, there was no point in practicing this move for others.
"Yes, I learned it from the village blacksmith," Lu Feng said casually.
Immediately, a faint Soul Power surged from his body.
"Whoosh~"
One hammer swung down, followed by a second.
As Lu Feng's hammer swings increased, an invisible wave of energy spread from the soles of his feet, constantly swirling.
Gradually, a gust of wind swept through the courtyard.
Zhu Zhuqing watched Lu Feng's movements, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
Lu Feng hadn't used his Martial Soul, but he had already reached the attack power of an ordinary Great Soul Master with just a forging hammer.
The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes suddenly widened, she covered her mouth, and exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible!"
At this moment, Lu Feng had already swung the hammer twenty times.
What truly astonished Zhu Zhuqing, however, was Lu Feng's footwork.
Lu Feng took several steps in quick succession, forcefully redirecting the hammer that should have been slamming into the ground, sending it soaring into the air.
The next moment, his body spun, his movements fluid and unrestrained by the hammer technique itself.
"How about it? Miss Zhuqing, have you understood my movement technique?" Lu Feng said loudly.
At this moment, he had already swung the forging hammer eighty-one times.
However, the power accumulated in the forging hammer was not released by Lu Feng.
With the final strike, he merely tapped the wooden stake lightly. The stake remained unmoved, as if the previously accumulated hammering technique had never existed.
This casual movement once again shocked Zhu Zhuqing.
"Hands made light of weight; his understanding of the Chaotic Cloak is probably deeper than that of ordinary Haotian Sect disciples."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, trying to remain calm.
"Lu Feng, you are truly a genius! If the Haotian Sect knew about this move, they would definitely worship you." Zhu Zhuqing said excitedly.
"Perhaps," Lu Feng said with a faint smile.
His expression immediately turned serious. "I can't teach you this footwork technique for now, but I've tailored a combination soul skill for you based on your own characteristics."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. She didn't show any disappointment when she heard Lu Feng holding back.
This footwork technique was his self-created soul skill, a family heirloom passed down from father to son in most soul master families.
"Then how should I do it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked humbly.
"I've had you practice your first soul skill extensively these past two days to prepare for this," Lu Feng said with a smile.
"During the release of Netherworld Hundred Claws, use Netherworld Thrust to adjust your position, trapping the enemy within your attack range, and use your movement technique to form a triangular kill."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up, but she still frowned. "Will this work?"
"We'll only know if it works by trying. Back then, I poured countless efforts into creating this soul skill," Lu Feng said in a deep voice, looking up.
"I visited the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and even conducted in-depth research with Title Douluos. Everyone doubted me, but I succeeded."
"Miss Zhu Qing, do you still doubt yourself?" Lu Feng said calmly, his tone revealing an undeniable firmness.
Zhu Zhu Qing looked up at Lu Feng. This young boy exuded an undeniable determination and confidence.
A complex mix of emotions welled up within her—surprise, admiration, and a subtle, almost imperceptible, touch.
Zhu Zhu Qing took a deep breath, bit her lip, and her gaze hardened.
A smile bloomed on her face, like a flower blossoming in the early morning sun.
"Thank you."
The night was filled with the brilliance of the stars.
In the courtyard, Lu Feng and Zhu Zhu Qing, unusually free from training, sat together on small chairs
, gazing at the stars. "Miss Zhu Qing, I ran into Dai Mubai again today while I was hosting," Lu Feng said casually, reclining in his chair.
"Lu Feng, you don't need to be so polite anymore. Just call me Zhu Qing," Zhu Zhuqing said softly.
"That person has nothing to do with me anymore. I don't even want to hear his name again."
"Zhu Qing, you're a young lady from the Zhu family of Xingluo, right?" Lu Feng asked with a smile.
Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath. Although she didn't want to admit this identity, the struggle for the throne was like a mountain weighing on her.
She couldn't avoid it, she couldn't escape it.
Even though she had decided to withdraw.
"That's right. My true identity is the fourth young lady of the Zhu family. I've been betrothed to Dai Mubai since childhood," Zhu Zhuqing said slowly.
As she spoke, Lu Feng gained a clearer understanding of the Xingluo imperial succession system.
Historically, many losers did survive. But their number was probably only half of those who perished in the competition.
The most ruthless are those in the imperial family; this saying is not just a saying.
"Have you considered seeking external help?" Lu Feng asked.
"External force?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. "What external force could compare to the Star Luo Royal Family? A Title Douluo? Ordinary Title Douluos don't have that kind of strength."
Lu Feng smiled. "What if there were three innate full soul power, plus two potential candidates with innate level nine soul power?"
"Oh, I should add something. One of them with innate full soul power is a food-type soul master. The other with innate level nine soul power is the next heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Where are they!" Zhu Zhuqing jumped up from her chair, asking excitedly.
Her eyes were filled with excitement. If she could win over these two, or even just befriend them, she would have more leverage in negotiations with the royal family in the future.
Innate full soul power! These are the seeds of a Title Douluo.
And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Zhu Zhuqing quickly calmed down. After all, there was a monster in front of her who was even more monstrous than someone with innate full soul power.
"They are with Dai Mubai at Shrek Academy," Lu Feng said calmly.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned upon hearing this. She looked Lu Feng up and down, puzzled. "You want me to join the academy? What mischief are you up to now?"
This time, Lu Feng was surprised. "Am I that obvious?"

1.8times+Chapter 107 Zhu Zhuqing's Awakening Chapter 107 Zhu Zhuqing's Awakening
"Hmph!" Zhu Zhuqing snorted lightly. "Don't I know you? If it didn't benefit you, would you be so kind?"
Zhu Zhuqing had roughly calculated that she had spent nearly 50,000 gold soul coins on Lu Feng since they met.
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't care, she clearly recognized that Lu Feng was a cunning businessman who wouldn't act without a profit.
"I swear to God!" Upon hearing this, Lu Feng jumped up from his chair.
"I, Tang Si—bah, I, Lu Feng—swear to the heavens: if I have any intention of scheming against Miss Zhuqing, may my brothers never be able to get married!"
"Hmph, if I were Tang San, I would really have to thank you properly." Zhu Zhuqing spat lightly.
"Ahem." Lu Feng said seriously, "Zhuqing, I have to give you a heads-up beforehand. There aren't many normal people in Shrek Academy."
The next morning, Lu Feng sent Zhu Zhuqing to the outskirts of the city and then returned to the Soul Arena.
Besides helping Zhu Zhuqing build her network, Lu Feng also gave her a mission: to act as a spy.
Every two days, Zhu Zhuqing would return to the courtyard to share information about Shrek Academy with Lu Feng.
Of course, Lu Feng's stated purpose was to help her analyze intelligence so he could quickly win over Ning Rongrong or Oscar.
In reality, Lu Feng's true intention was to accompany them on a soul-hunting expedition to the Star Dou Great Forest.
According to the plot, Oscar should be close to level 30. Their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest would involve encountering Canghui Academy, the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, and a bit of showing off.
Then they'd encounter the Titan Giant Ape and be thoroughly defeated.
After that, their brothers would stumble upon a stroke of luck and obtain external soul bones.
Lu Feng took out a small notebook from his soul tool, on which he recorded some of his brothers' fortuitous encounters in pinyin.
"Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, crossed out."
"Hair Crystal, crossed out."
"Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, crossed out."
Lu Feng hesitated for a moment, looking at the 'Eight Spider Lances' and 'Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone' on his notebook.
In the original story, Tang Hao was always by Tang San's side at this time, leaving the Blue Silver Emperor unattended. If he returned to Holy Soul Village now, he would most likely be able to obtain that 100,000-year-old soul bone.
"Forget it, let's be more cautious. What's the difference between a 98% chance and suicide?"
"Swish!" Lu Feng picked up his brush and, with a swift stroke, heavily crossed out the 'Eight Spider Lances'.
Early morning.
Zhu Zhuqing got up from her dormitory early in the morning and started running laps around the village.
Today was her second day at Shrek Academy, and as a 'transfer student,' she felt heavy-hearted.
Before coming to Shrek Academy, she never expected that an ordinary little village would hide three Soul Saint powerhouses.
Moreover, the students of the academy were not simple either. Among this year's students, her talent was the weakest, which made her feel somewhat frustrated.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing realized that even among geniuses, there are differences.
Two laps were nothing to Zhu Zhuqing, a speed-attack type Soul Master.
Her forehead was only slightly damp with sweat, and her breathing was even, as if she were simply taking a casual stroll in the courtyard.
Reaching the small river near the village, Zhu Zhuqing opened her arms and took a deep breath of fresh air.
The river wasn't deep, seemingly just enough to submerge her calves.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Zhu Zhuqing grabbed a handful of leaves from the bank and threw them into the river. The leaves scattered with the current.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sharpened, and with a leap, she landed in the middle of the river.
One step. Two steps.
Three steps
.
With each step, Zhu Zhuqing precisely stepped on the leaves, not even wetting the soles of her shoes.
This move, called "Water Walking," was taught to her by Lu Feng.
Its purpose was to allow her to use her Soul Power at will.
Originally, this move was supposed to involve covering one's feet with Soul Power and then walking across the water. However, with Zhu Zhuqing's current strength, she was far from reaching that level.
Therefore, Lu Feng designed a simplified training method for her.
"Oh no, the next leaf is too far away."
Zhu Zhuqing performed seven or eight steps on the river, and just as she was about to step on the last leaf, she found that the leaf had already drifted seven or eight meters away.
Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes and instantly completed her Martial Soul Possession.
Her first Soul Ring shone, and her figure became somewhat ethereal. With a single step, her body leaped seven or eight meters away, her toes landing steadily on a leaf.
"Whoosh!" Zhu Zhuqing pushed off with her toes, the leaf sinking into the water. The next moment, she performed a beautiful somersault, landing steadily on the ground.
Zhu Zhuqing looked down at her soaked shoes and frowned slightly.
"Again!"
After about thirty minutes, Zhu Zhuqing finished her training.
Although it was just simple water treading, Zhu Zhuqing's attention remained highly focused throughout the training.
In just half an hour, she felt the results were better than a whole day of her usual training.
Zhu Zhuqing had to admit that Lu Feng was the most talented Soul Master she had ever seen.
It wasn't just his talent for cultivation,
but also his wildly imaginative ideas.
In the courtyard, Zhu Zhuqing had sparred with Lu Feng. She had used all her skills, but couldn't cause him any trouble.
In fact, Lu Feng hadn't even used his Soul Power.
He subdued her with just his strength and skill.
What was that move called again?
Right, Tai Chi!
Every time she thought of it, of that tortoise-shell-like defense, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to bite him.
How infuriating!
Zhu Zhuqing had already made up her mind that when she returned to the Star Luo Empire, she would definitely kidnap Lu Feng.
After resting for a while, Zhu Zhuqing didn't return to her dormitory but headed towards Soto City.
Shrek Academy was lacking in everything except for its teaching staff.
Especially the cafeteria.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly arrived at a breakfast shop in the city and bought seven or eight items. These weren't just for her; she was taking them back to her two roommates.
There were only three girls at Shrek Academy, so they all lived in one dormitory.
Back in her dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who were still fast asleep, and sighed slightly. She put the breakfast on the table and then took a shower.
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing finished her shower and came out. She was only wrapped in a bath towel, her skin flushed a charming red from the hot water. Her long, wet black hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
"I've grown again."
Zhu Zhuqing looked down; she could barely see her toes.
Zhu Zhuqing pouted and gently pressed her chest. As an agility-type Soul Master, the 'strangeness' of her body often troubled her.
"Zhuqing!"
A sudden shout startled Zhu Zhuqing. Then, she slipped and fell to the ground.
Thump!
"Whoa!!!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened as she saw Zhu Zhuqing lying on the ground in a disheveled state, her bath towel scattered.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly got up, her face showing some embarrassment at being seen in such a disheveled state.
She quickly regained her cool demeanor and said indifferently, "Rongrong, you're awake. There's breakfast on the table."
Ning Rongrong seemed not to hear Zhu Zhuqing's words. She glanced down and asked softly, "Zhuqing, what do you usually like to eat?"
"My favorite things? Fish, milk, and papaya," Zhu Zhuqing nodded indifferently.
"Oh? Really? Then I'll eat these every day from now on!" Ning Rongrong clenched her fist, her face resolute.
By the playground, Flander looked at the group of people in front of him, but Oscar was nowhere to be seen. He frowned.
"Where's Oscar? Did he sleep in again? He can't attend class today without him. Tang San, go and wake him up."
Tang San was about to return to the dormitory when he saw Oscar rushing over from the dormitory direction.
However, there was no panic on his face about being late. Instead, he ran while excitedly shouting,
"Dean, I broke through! I reached level 30!"

1.8times+Chapter 108 'Green-haired' White Tiger Dai Mubai Chapter 108 'Green-haired' White Tiger Dai Mubai
"What!"
The next moment, everyone simultaneously cast surprised glances at Oscar.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes narrowed slightly; she was already plotting how to tie Oscar to her side.
Food-type martial souls are among the most difficult to cultivate. Oscar's ability to reach level 30 at the age of fourteen was remarkable, ranking among the top in the entire continent's records.
Oscar felt a little uneasy under Zhu Zhuqing's gaze.
"Why is this new classmate staring at me like this?"
Oscar's secretly passionate heart suddenly conjured up a thought, "Could it be that she likes me?!"
In the courtyard, Lu Feng and Zhu Zhuqing sat side by side.
"So, you plan to go to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow?" Lu Feng stroked his chin, his eyes thoughtful.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "That's right, Oscar's talent is indeed rare. A fourteen-year-old food-type soul master, I never even dared to dream of it before."
"No wonder Shrek Academy is known as the 'Monster Academy'!" Zhu Zhuqing said excitedly.
Lu Feng chuckled, "Zhu Qing, you need to understand the order of events first. It's because of those monster students that Shrek Academy gained its reputation."
"Think carefully about Shrek's admission requirements: no more than 12 years old, and a soul power level of 21 or higher. Where wouldn't students like that be called monsters?"
Zhu Zhu Qing immediately realized, "Right, how come I didn't think of that? Lu Feng, according to you, Shrek Academy is just a gimmick?"
Lu Feng nodded, "Shrek Academy seems to have a strong faculty, but in reality, everyone's self-taught."
"Shrek has a teacher named Zhao Wuji, whose former title in the soul master world was 'Immovable King.' You should have heard his story, right?"
Zhu Zhu Qing exclaimed, "So it was him! I heard he had a grudge against the Spirit Hall, but even with over a dozen bishops, the Spirit Hall couldn't capture him!"
"Not bad." Lu Feng nodded silently and said, "Shrek's teachers have rich practical experience, but they're still a bit lacking when it comes to teaching students."
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Lu Feng and asked suspiciously, "Lu Feng, how did you know this information? I feel like you're very familiar with Shrek. Were you a student there before?"
Lu Feng chuckled and said lightly, "Old Zhao and I are old acquaintances. We fought side by side in the forest back then. Dai Mubai was there too."
"Is that so?" Zhu Zhuqing asked doubtfully.
She always felt that there was something off about Lu Feng's tone when he mentioned Zhao Wuji.
The next morning, after breakfast, when Lu Feng and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the city gate, the Shrek members were already waiting for them.
Zhao Wuji had several bruises on his face, and a black eye around his left eye, which looked like he had probably 'accidentally' fallen.
"You're Zhu Zhuqing's friend? Let me make this clear first, if you can't keep up with the group, I won't be able to help you," Zhao Wuji said coldly.
Lu Feng cupped his hands in thanks and smiled, "Thank you, Teacher Zhao. I will repay you handsomely when I return from this trip."
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly and didn't reply.
He felt like he had seen this kid somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place him.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Wuji waved his hand and led the group towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Zhu Qing, are you and I best friends?"
After running for more than ten minutes, Ning Rongrong suddenly approached Zhu Zhuqing and whispered.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ning Rongrong with a puzzled look, wondering what mischief this little girl was up to now.
In just a few days, Zhu Zhuqing had figured out Ning Rongrong's personality perfectly.
This seemingly cute and quiet little girl had a little devil hidden inside.
Of course, she wasn't inherently bad.
"Rongrong, we're definitely best friends," Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.
Ning Rongrong chuckled, then said mysteriously, "Zhuqing, tell me honestly, what's your relationship with that handsome guy behind you? Is he your secret lover?"
Zhu Zhuqing was both amused and exasperated. "Rongrong, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Why is Dai Mubai wearing such a grumpy expression, like he wants to devour your friend alive?" Ning Rongrong teased.
As a descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong knew a little about the Star Luo Royal Family.
White Tiger Martial Soul, Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.
The first thing she thought of when she saw Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai. Especially since Zhu Zhuqing was a 'transfer student'.
Ning Rongrong originally thought that Zhu Zhuqing had come to pursue Dai Mubai. Unexpectedly, she made a new discovery today.
"He loves her, she doesn't love him, she loves him."
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted back and forth between the three of them, her mind already playing out a seventy or eighty-scene drama.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced back at Lu Feng, and thinking of Ning Rongrong's words, a strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
"Hmph, you stinky Rongrong, I'm ignoring you!"
As night fell, the group had traveled over 400 kilometers and was very close to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Entering the Soul Hunter Town, the familiar shouts greeted them.
"Black and Skinny Mercenary Group, a 30-year-old establishment."
Zhao Wuji pointed to an ordinary hotel. "Rest for the night, we'll depart tomorrow morning. You'll cover your own accommodation and meals."
The group entered the hotel and casually ordered some dishes.
Although they sat at the same table, the atmosphere within the team was somewhat strange.
The three girls chatted casually, Ning Rongrong occasionally looking up, her eyes darting back and forth between Lu Feng and Dai Mubai. Then she lowered her head again, whispering something.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar waited listlessly for the food.
Tang San occasionally touched his wrist, presumably checking his hidden weapons.
Dai Mubai stared intently at Lu Feng, his anger almost overflowing.
"Damn it!" Dai Mubai cursed under his breath.
He'd actually been bullied!
Dai Mubai clenched his fists, wishing he could pin Lu Feng to the ground and slap him seventy or eighty times. He
spat fiercely and
shouted, "Dare to touch my woman, this is what happens!"
Soon after, the waiter brought out a sumptuous feast.
Ma Hongjun couldn't contain himself and began to eat heartily.
Lu Feng glanced at the hotel entrance; there were few pedestrians outside, and it was rather deserted.
"Sigh, it seems I'll never understand the saying 'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre'," Lu Feng shook his head and sighed inwardly.
"Phew~"
Dai Mubai exhaled heavily, calming himself. His face had returned to calm, as if his inner anger had been completely released.
Suddenly, a neon light shone on his head.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun looked up, puzzled, and said, "Hey, Boss Dai, why are you glowing green on the head?"
Chapter Two will be released at noon.

"Slap!"
Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun on the head. "Fatty, eat your chicken!"
"Woo woo woo~" Ma Hongjun made a silly whimper, then devoured a fat chicken in three bites.
Just as dawn broke, everyone was ready to go.
Leaving the town, they hurried on their way, Oscar naturally the most excited. He was already fantasizing about how powerful his third soul skill would be.
Oscar wasn't concerned about the potential dangers the team might encounter.
After all, with Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, there was no way anything could go wrong hunting a thousand-year-old soul beast.
The terrain of the Star Dou Great Forest was complex. Upon entering the forest, everyone was on high alert, even Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint.
Except for Lu Feng and Xiao Wu.
Lu Feng had cultivated in the Star Dou Great Forest for several years, exploring almost the entire outer area.
Gathering herbs, collecting fragments...
Arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lu Feng felt like he was home.
As for Xiao Wu, this was her home.
Around noon, everyone sat down to rest.
Throughout the morning, the team had encountered many spirit beasts, but none were suitable for Oscar; most were ten-year or hundred-year-old.
This was common in spirit hunting.
Some spirit masters, more particular about attributes and age, would spend several days or even a month hunting a single spirit beast.
On the Douluo Continent, the mainstream cultivation method was martial spirit. For millennia, spirit masters had researched martial spirits to an almost perfect degree.
From spirit ring selection to optimal age, from attribute matching to spirit skill combinations,
Lu Feng had spent over half a year in the Heaven Dou Library and had only barely finished reading one-fifth of the books.
This knowledge was mostly held by noble forces; commoner spirit masters only had access to very basic knowledge.
Suddenly, Zhao Wuji's gaze turned to the distance: "Get up, everything! Something is approaching at high speed!"
Everyone quickly stood up and looked in the direction Zhao Wuji was pointing.
A faint purple tinge appeared in Lu Feng's eyes. He had already put on the sunglasses he wore when hosting, and wasn't worried that Tang San would notice anything.
Lu Feng narrowed his eyes as a snake-like shadow over seven meters long appeared in his line of sight.
"A Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent!"
"It has two wounds on its abdomen; it seems to be Meng Yiran's soul beast," Lu Feng thought to himself.
At this moment, Tang San also clearly saw the soul beast and excitedly shouted, "It's a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent! It's six to eight meters long and between 1300 and 1500 years old. Oscar, perfect for you!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Tang San with surprise.
They were still quite far from the soul beast, separated by a large patch of leaves; how could Tang San's eyesight be so good?
"Since it's just a thousand-year-old soul beast, I won't make a move. This soul hunt is yours," Zhao Wuji said coldly, arms crossed.
As he spoke, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent had already rushed above their heads. Its speed was incredibly fast, as if something was chasing it.
Dai Mubai instantly jumped onto a nearby tree, his third soul ring lighting up immediately. Using the recoil from the branches beneath his feet, he leaped into the air.
At the same time, a beam of seven-colored light entered his body.
"The Seven Treasures have names, the first being: Strength."
A loud "bang" resounded.
Dai Mubai groaned, his body lurching back more than ten meters, but the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent's forward momentum abruptly stopped. Its massive body twisted in the air before crashing to the ground.
The crowd rushed forward and quickly subdued the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.
Zhao Wuji pulled a short blade from his waist and handed it to Oscar, "Go ahead, stab it from below its crest, and this spirit ring will be yours."
Oscar excitedly took the short blade, his hands trembling slightly.
He was finally about to become a Soul Master!
However, just as he was about to thrust the blade, a hoarse, sharp shout suddenly rang out: "Stop!"
"They're here!" Lu Feng's eyes narrowed as he looked at the grandfather and granddaughter who appeared before him.
These two were none other than Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran, who had come in search of this thousand-year-old Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.
Just like in the original story, Zhao Wuji and Chao Tianxiang each had their own reservations and didn't attack directly, instead sending Tang San and Meng Yiran to duel.
Lu Feng watched the two locked in combat and, taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on them, quietly retreated to the edge of the group.
"Whoosh!"
A [Light Attribute] energy entered the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent's body.
The next moment, the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent seemed to have been injected with adrenaline. Having only a breath left, it unleashed a surge of powerful soul energy, soaring into the air and disappearing from everyone's sight.
Its speed was so fast that even Zhao Wuji couldn't react.
"What!" Several exclamations rang out simultaneously.
Oscar's mouth gaped open, utterly dumbfounded.
The spirit ring that was within reach has flown away!
Seeing this, Lu Feng could only apologize to Oscar in his heart.
In the original story, Tang San broke through to level 30 in spirit power during his sparring with Meng Yiran. Then, everyone stayed in the forest for several days to find a spirit ring for him.
Lu Feng didn't believe that Douluo had luck, but he had to be cautious. His brother had stumbled upon the Human-Faced Demon Spider by sheer luck.
Preventing Tang San's breakthrough eliminated all subsequent possibilities.
At this moment, the two who were fighting also stopped. The spirit beast had escaped, and there was no point in them continuing to fight.
"Brother Zhao, let's end this here. I'm going to meet up with my old man first." Chao Tianxiang bowed slightly, then left with Meng Yiran.
Chao Tianxiang's expression was somewhat unpleasant. In her opinion, her granddaughter was sure to win against that kid. It must have been that the other party saw that Meng Yiran was about to win and deliberately let the spirit beast escape.
Zhao Wuji frowned as he watched the two figures disappear. If it weren't for their appearance, Oscar's spirit rings might have already been absorbed.
What 'first come, first served'?
He, the Immovable King, didn't care about such rules!
However, Zhao Wuji refrained from making a move. Killing the little one was easy, but killing Snake Granny Chaotianxiang was far more difficult.
If Snake Granny escaped, he would face endless pursuit from the Peerless Dragon-Snake.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong with you? You can't even keep an eye on a dying spirit beast!" Zhao Wuji shouted.
Dai Mu Bai was about to explain when he heard Zhao Wuji's irritable voice, "Just wait until I get back, I'll teach you a lesson."
Hearing this, Dai Mu Bai immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
Dai Mu Bai didn't argue, because he knew that reasoning with the other party would only intensify his training.
Night fell.
In the perilous forest, everyone was under immense pressure, making them more prone to fatigue.
Soon, everyone drifted off to sleep.
At this moment, Xiao Wu came to Zhao Wuji's side. "Teacher Zhao, let me keep watch tonight."
"Little girl, don't cause trouble, go to sleep." Zhao Wuji waved his hand dismissively.
"Teacher Zhao, I'm also a level 29 Great Soul Master, and you have to protect us during the day, so you should maintain your mental energy."
Zhao Wuji stroked his chin. "Alright, if you can't hold on, just wake me up."
Zhao Wuji wasn't being lazy, but he couldn't refuse Xiao Wu's filial piety. Besides, for a Soul Saint, even when asleep, their perception doesn't decrease.
In the camp, the only one awake at this moment was Xiao Wu. Her gaze was fixed on Tang San's tent, her eyes revealing a struggling light.
"Should I leave him?"
"If I leave, will we ever see each other again?"
Xiao Wu looked into the depths of the forest, a resolute glint in her eyes. "But Lu Feng is right, I have my own family too. Before making any decision, I should consider my family."
"The human world may be prosperous, but it's ultimately not my home."
Xiao Wu turned her gaze to Lu Feng's tent, gratitude welling in her eyes.
"Thank you, Lu Feng. Farewell!"
"Whoosh!" Xiao Wu's figure flashed, instantly disappearing into the jungle.
Feeling the breeze beside her ear, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Wu's lips. Indeed, although the forest wasn't as prosperous as the human world, it was her true home.
She looked up at the moon; the moonlight seemed exceptionally bright tonight.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu stopped. A figure had appeared before her.
"Who are you?" Xiao Wu instantly activated her martial spirit, shouting coldly.
However, the next moment, her eyes narrowed.
Nine bright spirit rings rose beside the man in black. The next moment, a huge hammer smashed down towards her head.
"Title Douluo!
" "Everyone out of the tent, quick!" Zhao Wuji's deep voice boomed into the tent.
The next moment, he completed his Martial Soul Possession.
The students rushed out of the tent. Dai Mubai darted to Zhao Wuji's side and asked疑惑地问道, "Teacher Zhao, what's wrong?"
Before Zhao Wuji could answer, a violent shockwave of soul power struck, blasting the entire team, including Zhao Wuji, away.
Lu Feng, holding Ning Rongrong in one hand and Zhu Zhuqing in the other, peeked out from the bushes.
"Holy crap! This is chaos! Why are the Titan Giant Ape fighting Tang Hao?"

1.8times+Chapter 110 Shrek's Hidden agendas Chapter 110 Shrek Academy, Each with Their Own Thoughts
Under the moonlight, a giant ape, over twenty meters tall, stood upright, pounding its chest and roaring.
It was a mountain-like being, with two lantern-like yellowish-brown eyes and jet-black fur that shimmered faintly in the moonlight.
Opposite the giant ape, a Soul Master clad in black robes stood in mid-air.
His entire body was shrouded in black robes, only his sharp eyes visible.
In his right hand, the black-clad man gripped a massive hammer-like Martial Soul. Beside him, an astonishing nine Soul Rings floated up and down:
two yellow, two purple, four black, and
one red!
The black-clad man's last Soul Ring was none other than the number one ranked Soul Master Dream Ranking—a 100,000-year Soul Ring!
"Your Majesty Haotian!"
Zhao Wuji exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the black-clad man in mid-air.
"Roar!" The giant ape unleashed a deafening roar.
Lu Feng's eyes turned completely purple. With his Purple Demon Eye, he clearly saw a powerful black aura erupting from the giant ape.
"Bang!" Zhao Wuji was the first to be hit.
"Mu Bai, take everyone away!" Zhao Wuji shouted.
At this moment, he only had time to make one move: activate his Martial Soul and instantly unleash his seventh Soul Skill.
The next moment, his body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto a large rock.
"Pfft!"
Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul state was instantly shattered. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the grass in front of him, and then fainted.
"Teacher Zhao!" Tang San exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.
Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint level expert, yet he couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of the giant ape's attack?
However, the next moment, Tang San suddenly felt a monstrous pressure bearing down on him.
Instantly, the faces of the Shrek Academy members turned deathly pale.
Just at this critical moment, the man in black flashed in front of them.
His hammer spirit slammed into the ground, unleashing a burst of solidified black spirit power that blocked the giant ape's attack.
Tang San was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.
He was closest to the man in black, and the moment the spirit power exploded, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.
"Senior," Tang San greeted cautiously, looking at the figure before him.
This was the first time Tang San had ever been so close to a Title Douluo.
Tang San felt his breathing quicken, his head throbbing. He felt a tightness in his chest, making it difficult to speak clearly.
The man's attire was somewhat disheveled, and Tang San could even smell the alcohol on him. Yet, at this moment, he felt that this figure was incredibly imposing.
A Title Douluo, terrifying indeed!
Blood trickled from the corner of Tang San's mouth, clearly indicating a significant injury sustained in the aftermath of the battle.
He turned to look at the others. Although the man in black had withstood most of the attacks, everyone had suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were covered in dust and dirt, their clothes torn by the rubble in the turbulent water, revealing bright red wounds.
Oscar, being a support-type Soul Master, had the weakest defense. At this moment, his face was deathly pale, and he could barely stand.
"Where's Xiao Wu?" Tang San exclaimed in surprise.
The next moment, he suddenly caught sight of Lu Feng fleeing with two women.
The three of them were incredibly fast; even though Lu Feng was carrying Zhu Zhuqing in one arm and Ning Rongrong on his shoulder, he had already covered several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
Tang San breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Xiao Wu is so clever; she must have escaped long ago," Tang San thought to himself.
At this moment, the man in black glanced at Tang San and coldly uttered a single word, "Go!"
Even a Title Douluo dared not be careless when facing a Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape.
"Whoosh!"
The man in black flashed, wielding his hammer spirit and smashing it towards the Titan Giant Ape's eyes, one of its few weak points.
"Bang bang bang!"
Each collision between the man in black and the Titan Giant Ape produced a powerful sonic boom.
Trees around them fell like wheat. Soul beasts scattered and fled; even thousand-year-old soul beasts were instantly killed if caught in the crossfire.
The boys exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of relief.
Surviving the Titan Giant Ape's attack, and even witnessing a legendary Title Douluo, this trip wasn't a complete loss.
"Hey, where's Teacher Zhao?" Oscar suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked at the large rock where Zhao Wuji had fallen; a crater seven or eight meters in radius had now appeared there.
"Thump!" Oscar immediately knelt down.
Oscar sniffed slightly, and the next moment, tears and snot streamed down his face. "Teacher Zhao, you died so tragically!"
At this moment, Ma Hongjun pointed towards the depths of the forest. "That senior's hammer was deflected by the giant ape, and Teacher Zhao was blasted away by the soul force wave, probably two or three thousand meters."
Ma Hongjun said weakly, "Teacher Zhao should be alright, right? Boss Dai, what...what do we do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their gaze to Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai frowned, but he quickly made up his mind. "Let's go! Teacher Zhao's mission for me is to protect you!"
With their current strength, venturing deep into the forest would be tantamount to suicide. Besides, even if they found Zhao Wuji, he would be distracted protecting them.
Without further hesitation, everyone quickly fled out of the forest.
The next day, in a hotel in the Soul Hunter Market,
the Shrek Seven Devils gathered together, discussing something.
"Bang!" Tang San slammed his fist on the table.
"Xiao Wu hasn't returned yet, I'm going to find her!" Tang San said excitedly, his fists clenched.
With that, Tang San stood up and strode towards the door.
Dai Mubai stepped in front of the door, blocking his way, and shouted, "No, we should stay in the market and wait for Teacher Zhao to return."
"She's my sister!" Tang San roared, his eyes bloodshot.
"You're courting death!" Dai Mubai said coldly.
As he spoke, Dai Mubai instantly activated his martial soul, a powerful aura surging from his body. "Tang San, if you can defeat me, then so be it. But think it over, if you make a move, I'll break your legs!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's face instantly darkened, and a dozen Blue Silver Grasses rose from beside him. At the same time, his right hand quietly rested on the soul tool at his waist.
"Tang San, a level 29 control-type battle soul master, please! Instruct! Me!"
He practically spat out the last three words through gritted teeth.
For a moment, the room was filled with tension.
"Don't do it! Don't do it! What are you doing?" Oscar quickly grabbed Tang San's right hand.
At the same time, Ma Hongjun also held back Dai Mubai
, who was about to attack. "Hmph, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, don't hold them back. Let them fight," Zhu Zhuqing sneered.
"It would be best if one of them died, so they wouldn't cause trouble here."
Oscar scratched his head upon hearing this. He had thought that Dai Mubai and Tang San were already difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect this new classmate to have such a fiery temper.
"Tang San, don't be afraid, I'll amplify your power!"
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, its dazzling light swirling around her right hand.
"My dear young lady, please don't cause any more trouble at this time!" Oscar clutched his head, clutching his hair in anguish.
Lu Feng sat to the side, legs crossed, and took a sip of tea.
He watched everyone with great interest; this was his first real encounter with Shrek Academy from the original story.
At this moment, the group was far from the united "Shrek Seven Devils" of the original story; instead, each harbored their own thoughts.
Lu Feng and Dai Mubai were old acquaintances. Although Dai Mubai's personal life had always been criticized, he now possessed a certain leader's aura.
Ma Hongjun was Dai Mubai's subordinate, practically "following Dai Mubai's every word."
Tang San was no different from his time at Notting Academy, except he had become more obsessive. If Oscar hadn't been holding him back, Lu Feng felt that his hidden weapon would have been launched at any moment.
Zhu Zhuqing appeared to be an outsider; her indifferent demeanor made Lu Feng think she truly didn't care about Xiao Wu's life or death.
Ning Rongrong's behavior just now truly lived up to her title of "Little Witch."
Thinking about it, it made sense; having been protected by two Title Douluos since childhood, how could she become a well-behaved girl just because of Flander's two words?
The only normal person was Oscar.
Lu Feng looked at Oscar, who was trying to mediate the fight while also coaxing Ning Rongrong, and shook his head helplessly.
"Stop arguing, I'll go."
At this moment, Lu Feng stood up and said loudly.
