Chapter 73 Oscar and Dai Mubai's Breakdown!
Just as Oscar was about to pierce the eye of the crested serpent, a hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"
Upon hearing this sound, Oscar instinctively stopped and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.
Yu Tianyun thought to himself, Oscar usually seems quite clever, how come he can't figure out the situation now? If he just ignored it and killed the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, there wouldn't be so much trouble!
Soon, two figures darted out from where the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent had just flown from.
An old woman appeared before the crowd, accompanied by a young girl. The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short hair reaching her ears. She was dressed in a neat and smart outfit, appearing quite dashing. At that moment, she was staring intently at the crested snake.
The old woman had a full head of silver hair and held a three-meter-long snake-head cane in her hand. Her body was covered in six soul rings, yellow, purple, purple, purple, and black, which pulsated in rhythm. Clearly, she was a Soul Emperor.
At this moment, the old woman who was the Soul Emperor said, "Immovable King Zhao Wuji, this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is the one I wanted to give to my granddaughter as her third soul ring. It fled all the way while we were chasing it, but it was subdued by you. Please return it to us. Consider it a favor that my husband and I owe you."
Upon seeing that the newcomer was merely a Soul Emperor, Zhao Wuji's attitude instantly became arrogant. He grinned and said, "Old woman, in this Star Dou Great Forest, all Soul Beasts are ownerless. There's no distinction between 'yours' and 'mine.' Whoever catches them owns them! My student also needs this Soul Beast as his third Soul Ring. I don't care about your favor!"
The old woman's face darkened instantly as soon as she finished speaking. She was a respected figure in the Soul Master world, and she never expected to be so disrespected. She immediately said in a deep voice, "Immovable King, arrogance will lead to great losses! I am Chaotianxiang, and I am honored by the respect shown to me by my friends in the Soul Master world, who have given me the title 'Snake Granny.' My husband is called Meng Shu, also known as 'Dragon Lord.' Our relationship is quite valuable; won't you reconsider?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically. Dragon Duke and Snake Lady—this was the name of the peerless dragon and snake couple, renowned throughout the Soul Master world. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Dragon and Snake Combo—was even comparable to a Title Douluo!
What bad luck! I keep getting involved with people at the Title Douluo level! This is really troublesome!
Zhao Wuji's expression was uncertain. He couldn't possibly make a move; the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady were always inseparable, and the Dragon Lord Meng Shu must be nearby. But giving up now was extremely difficult, especially since his student was watching him expectantly. If he retreated, he would lose all face! Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and say, "So it's Senior Snake Lady. I was very rude just now, please forgive me. However, we do need this soul beast. Oscar, come here. Senior Snake Lady, look, this is my student, also at level 30 soul power, who needs this soul beast's soul ring."
When Snake Granny Chaotianxiang saw Oscar's youthful appearance—no more than fifteen or sixteen years old—a look of surprise crossed her face. She had never seen anyone so young reach level thirty. Didn't this mean his talent was even more outstanding than her granddaughter's?
She hesitated greatly, after all, Meng Shu wasn't by her side, and Zhao Wuji was a notorious Soul Saint expert. She also had her granddaughter with her at the moment and dared not rashly turn against Zhao Wuji. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Since that's the case, then let your student have a match with my granddaughter. Whoever wins gets the Soul Ring!"
After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Zhao Wuji; this was already her biggest concession.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji smiled wryly and said, "Senior Snake Granny, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. My student is a food-type Soul Master and has no combat ability. How can he compete with your granddaughter!"
Snake Granny was taken aback by these words. Looking at Oscar's innocent and pitiful face, she couldn't help but think more highly of him. At the same time, she could only grit her teeth and say, "If this kid won't do, then let's find someone else, but it can only be a Great Soul Master. In any case, we won't give up on this soul beast easily!"
At this moment, the Snake Granny thought to herself that her granddaughter was a quasi-Soul Master, and there were few Great Soul Masters who could rival her. This gave her a greater chance of winning.
Snake Granny's granddaughter, Meng Yiran, immediately released her martial soul—a snake staff identical to the Snake Granny's, surrounded by two bright yellow soul rings. Her brows furrowed with confidence as she declared, "Meng Yiran, Martial Soul: Snake Staff, Level 30 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master!"
Oscar saw Meng Yiran wielding the snake staff, her imposing and intimidating presence immediately filling him with fear. His gaze first fell upon the strongest, Yu Tianyun, but he quickly remembered that Yu Tianyun's level 48 soul power did not meet the Snake Granny's requirements. Reluctantly, he looked away, glancing left and right. Among his companions, only Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun were Great Soul Masters, but Tang San was undoubtedly the strongest. He immediately moved closer to Tang San and said, "Tang San, help me out! This soul beast is perfect for me; I can't let someone else take it!"
Tang San nodded upon hearing this. Since Oscar had already spoken, he had no reason to refuse. He stepped forward and said, "Tang San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Level 29 Control-type Battle Soul Master!"
Upon hearing Tang San's self-introduction, Meng Yiran felt insulted. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she spoke coldly, "You actually sent a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master? How dare you look down on me! I'll make you regret stepping forward!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she launched an attack. Her speed was extremely fast, and her snake staff was wielded with great force, moving up and down like a serpent, which looked extremely terrifying.
However, Tang San was also fast and extremely agile, like a ghost. Meng Yiran's snake staff couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes. At the same time, Tang San secretly activated a large amount of Blue Silver Grass to entangle Meng Yiran.
Meng Yiran was instantly bound tightly by the dark blue-black Blue Silver Grass, and at the same time, the sharp thorns on the Blue Silver Grass protruded, instantly activating the paralyzing toxin.
Tang San smiled confidently and said, "I think this competition is over!"
However, no one present responded to him, causing Tang San to frown. He had great confidence in his Blue Silver Grass. Opponents with stronger soul power than him might be able to break free from his Blue Silver Entanglement, but opponents of the same level would almost certainly not be able to escape once entangled by his Blue Silver Grass! After all, everyone's soul power was roughly the same, and his Blue Silver Grass contained paralyzing toxins.
"Hmph!" Just as Tang San was filled with doubt and fantasies, a cold snort rang out, and Meng Yiran's two yellow spirit rings suddenly lit up at the same time.
Tang San was startled. He finally understood why everyone had ignored him. His face flushed slightly, and he felt like a clown.
Meng Yiran's body writhed as if it had no bones, her supple form emerging from the entanglement of the Blue Silver Grass as if coated with oil. Her snake-headed cane spat out a two-foot-long tongue blade, smashing down on Tang San's head.
Looking at the bluish sheen on the tongue blade, Tang San immediately realized that it must have been coated with poison.
The tongue blade was extremely sharp, enough to tear Tang San's Blue Silver Grass to shreds, but the poison on it had no effect on the Blue Silver Grass.
The battle between the two was temporarily at a stalemate. Meng Yiran could not catch up with Tang San, who was using the Ghost Shadow Step, and Tang San was currently unable to do anything to Meng Yiran.
Just as Tang San felt passive, a purple light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Meng Yiran's movements slowed down in his eyes. Tang San seized the opportunity and grabbed the snake-head cane with his right hand, exactly at the seven-inch mark.
After Tang San grabbed her cane, Meng Yiran did not panic. The tongue blade that was spitting out from the snake's head suddenly slid down strangely. If it were cut, Tang San's right hand would definitely be severed.
But Tang San did not loosen his grip. It was too late to dodge at this point. Even if he loosened his grip, the attack of the tongue blade would inevitably follow him and strike his body. At such close range, no matter how exquisite his Ghost Shadow Tracking was, he could not dodge Meng Yiran's attack.
"A mistress!" Xiao Wu, who was watching the scene, couldn't help but exclaim, covering her eyes and not daring to look.
Tang San's right hand could not be cut off, but his left hand turned into a bright white jade color and grasped the sharp tongue blade. It was Tang San who had activated the Xuan Yu Hand!
At this moment, the two men each held one end of the snake staff, and they were locked in a stalemate.
Meng Yiran's strength lay entirely in her snake staff, and she would never abandon her martial soul. Tang San also understood the crucial role of the snake staff. Without hesitation, the two activated their soul power and attacked each other through their snake staffs.
In an instant, their battle became a contest of soul power!
Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill was naturally stronger than the meditation methods of this world, and his cultivated soul power was also more sustained. Furthermore, Meng Yiran was initially somewhat impatient, eager to reclaim her snake staff, while Tang San conserved his soul power, focusing it on one-third of the snake staff on his side. Therefore, Meng Yiran's soul power consumption was significantly greater.
As time went on, Tang San gradually gained the upper hand.
Such battles of soul power are often extremely dangerous. If one side exhausts its soul power, the damage it suffers will inevitably be irreparable and severe, and may even be life-threatening.
The Snake Woman panicked immediately, sighed, and said to Zhao Wuji, "Fine, I concede. Let's work together to separate them, shall we?"
Zhao Wuji was naturally overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.
The two arrived behind Tang San and Meng Yiran respectively, and simultaneously activated their soul power.
"Let go." Zhao Wuji shouted in a deep voice. He and the Snake Woman poured their soul power into the two of them, separating them and protecting their bodies at the same time.
Meng Yiran snorted coldly. Recalling everything that had happened, she felt extremely resentful, but a loss was a loss, and she had no face to stay any longer. She turned and left, saying to the Snake Granny with a wronged expression, "Grandma, let's go!"
The Snake Woman frowned slightly, glancing at Tang San, then Oscar, and finally fixing her gaze on Zhao Wuji. Her eyes flashed with a cold light as she said, "Immovable King, the green hills remain unchanged, the green waters flow forever, until we meet again!"
After saying that, the Snake Woman and Meng Yiran took off and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. After all, the fact that Long Gong Meng Shu had not yet appeared had put him under great pressure.
But now that they have the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, the couple should reconsider whether it is worth it, even if they want revenge.
It would be best to leave as soon as Oscar finishes absorbing the spirit ring. Thinking about this made me furious. It was all Oscar's fault for hesitating. If he had acted decisively earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble!
Immediately, he looked at Oscar with displeasure and said, "You brat, hurry up and absorb your spirit ring! If you don't make a move, I'll leave you here alone to feed the spirit beasts!"
Seeing Zhao Wuji's anger, Oscar shrank back and quickly picked up his short knife to stab the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent's eye. Soon, a light purple soul ring appeared on its corpse.
Oscar sat cross-legged, released his martial spirit, and began absorbing spirit rings. At the same time, Tang San, who had also expended considerable energy, sat cross-legged and began circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill to recover his spirit power.
About an hour later, Oscar was the first to wake up. He opened his eyes and burst into laughter, eagerly chanting the incantation: "I have a mushroom sausage!"
In the blink of an eye, the soul power in his hand condensed into a small sausage with a mushroom-shaped head, causing the girls present to scoff.
Even Yu Tianyun was speechless. He swore that he would never eat Oscar's third soul skill and that he would take back his previous agreement with Oscar!
Oscar was extremely embarrassed. He scratched his head; the shape of his mushroom sausage was so similar to his thing—both were tiny. He was also very embarrassed to show it off. But when he thought about the effect of his third soul skill, his expression turned somewhat strange. Then, in a proud tone, he said, "Do you know how powerful my third soul skill is?"
Whether it was powerful or not is another matter, but everyone, including the reckless Zhao Wuji, felt disgusted by his mushroom sausage, and everyone around him kept their distance.
Seeing this, Oscar's proud expression instantly turned into one of grief and indignation. He then ate the mushroom sausage in his hand, and a pair of pale purple wings, as thin as cicada wings, sprouted from his back, carrying him into the air. He wanted to prove the worth of his third soul skill, shouting, "My Flying Mushroom Sausage not only allows people to fly, but also allows them to fly at the speed of a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent for one minute!"
After hearing his explanation of the effects of his soul skill, everyone was shocked. His third soul skill was indeed impressive and could definitely play a miraculous role in crucial moments!
But as luck would have it, Ning Rongrong, nestled in Yu Tianyun's arms, blurted out, "Only one minute? Doesn't that mean it's over before it even got started? Unlike my brother Tianyun, who can last all day and recover quickly after a meal."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. Oscar's face turned ashen, devoid of any color, and his lips trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't utter a single word. Looking at Yu Tianyun's strong and burly body, he was utterly powerless to refute him.
Yu Tianyun put one hand to his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed, while the big and little kitten in his arms also blushed.
The expression on the face of the beauty in Yu Tianyun's arms fell into Dai Mubai's eyes, and his face instantly turned as pale as Oscar's. He immediately understood everything!
Yu Tianyun flicked Ning Rongrong's forehead lightly and said, "Rongrong, although you're right, don't say it again. How can such vulgar language come out of a girl's mouth!"
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "I just like to tell the truth. I won't say it next time."
Oscar and Dai Mubai's faces paled even more, and the big kitten buried its head deep in Yu Tianyun's arms, not daring to show itself.
The other Shrek students also had very strange expressions, especially Xiao Wu, who blushed and hid behind Tang San, but kept stealing glances at Yu Tianyun's lower body.
