Tiger-Slaying Team

"With your current physique, improved by the Immortal Herb, plus the Catnip and my blessing,

"you should be able to absorb the Soul Ring of this Ghost Leopard, which had around four thousand years of cultivation."

Tang Feng had his foot planted on a purple Ghost Leopard about three meters long.

A purple Soul Ring, signifying a thousand-year cultivation, hovered above its corpse.

In the past, Zhu Zhuqing would never have dared imagine absorbing the Soul Ring of a four-thousand-year Soul Beast as her Third Soul Ring.

She might only have considered it for her Fourth Soul Ring. But now, since Xiaofeng said she could, then she definitely could.

After all, aside from herself, no one knew her body better than Xiaofeng.

Tang Feng's Third Soul Ring lit up, and a streak of green light flew from his palm into Zhu Zhuqing's body.

Strength—far greater strength than usual!

Zhu Zhuqing felt her body fill with strength. She took out the Catnip Tang Feng had given her last time, which she had yet to finish, and took a deep sniff. Then she sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated her Soul Power, preparing to absorb the four-thousand-year Ghost Leopard Soul Ring.

Half an hour later, under Tang Feng's protection, Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the Ghost Leopard's Soul Ring without incident.

She rose and summoned her Nether Civet Martial Soul to possess her. Three Soul Rings lit up around her: yellow, yellow, purple.

"I did it!"

Zhu Zhuqing happily gazed at the four-thousand-year Soul Ring around her.

"Congratulations." Tang Feng nodded.

He had originally wanted Zhu Zhuqing to absorb the Soul Ring of a five-thousand-year Soul Beast, but he was afraid something might go wrong. After all, no matter how familiar he was with the strength of Zhu Zhuqing's body, there would still be danger if her Spiritual Power fell short.

So he had settled for the next best thing and chosen a four-thousand-year Ghost Leopard.

Having acquired her Third Soul Ring, Zhu Zhuqing took a moment to sense the Soul Power within her.

"Level thirty-six!"

"My Soul Power Level jumped straight to thirty-six, and I'm even close to reaching level thirty-seven!" Zhu Zhuqing said excitedly.

"Not bad. That's about what I expected."

"Let's go back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Back at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang Feng first used Life Blessing on Ah Yin to accelerate her growth. Then he immersed himself in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

With his current Spiritual Power, absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring would certainly be no problem, but his physique would probably fall a little short.

Seeing Tang Feng start cultivating as soon as he returned, Zhu Zhuqing didn't idle either. She went to Tang Feng's cave dwelling, picked up the various weights Dugu Bo had prepared for him, and began training her physique.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power had already been close to level thirty-seven, and after three months of arduous cultivation, she finally reached it.

Tang Feng also felt that he was nearly ready to absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring.

But before that, he needed to deal with someone.

"Zhu Zhuqing, let's go."

Tang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and headed for Suotuo City.

With her Soul Power already at level thirty-seven and her proficiency in the Six Powers, Zhu Zhuqing traveled much faster than before.

The last time the two had traveled from Suotuo City to Sunset Forest, it had taken them ten days. This time, the journey from Sunset Forest to Suotuo City took less than five.

As before, Tang Feng started by scanning with his Divine Sense.

When he finished, he frowned, because he had spotted a group of people.

Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun—the first three made sense to Tang Feng, but the two who followed were completely unexpected.

They were Tang San, whose eyes appeared to be fine, and his master Gangzi.

What's going on?

Is heaven's will really that powerful?

It even managed to restore Little Scumbag's eyes?

Not only that, it got him into Shrek Academy too.

But it's not a big problem. If you dare show your face, don't blame me for showing no mercy.

I'll deal with you at the same time.

Today was the third day since the end of the first stage of Shrek Academy's special training, which had begun after the Grandmaster's arrival.

It was also the start of the second stage, and the so-called second stage was Soul Fighting.

The Grandmaster, Gangzi, led the group of four from Shrek.

It wasn't that Flender, the dean, was unwilling to come. Rather, he still hadn't recovered from the palm strike he had taken from Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

It would probably take at least half a year for him to recover completely.

As for Zhao Wuji, he had to stay home and look after Flender, while the other teachers disliked the atmosphere of the Great Soul Arena. That left Gangzi as the only one to lead the group.

To make things mysterious, Gangzi had also given each of the four a mask to wear and conceal their identities.

"Boss Dai, come on, do the Soul Fight with me~"

Oscar clung to one of Dai Mubai's arms and pleaded.

"No, I've already got someone."

"Who?"

Oscar thought it over. At the academy, the only people above level thirty were Dai Mubai, himself, and Tang San.

That meant the one teaming up with Dai Mubai was Little San.

"Little San, did you really team up with Boss Dai?"

"Sorry, Little Oscar. Boss Dai said this morning that he wanted to team up with me."

Hearing that, Oscar clutched his head and wailed.

"Then what am I supposed to do~"

"Boo-hoo-hoo~"

"Stop howling. I'll take you along in a few days!" Oscar's noise had really gotten on Dai Mubai's nerves, so he decided to pair up with him once every few days.

Tang San and Dai Mubai went to the registration desk and signed up for a two-on-two Soul Fight under the team name "Silver Tiger."

After the two registered and left, Tang Feng and Zhu Zhuqing also came to the registration desk.

They signed up for a two-on-two Soul Fight under the team name "Tiger-Slaying."

Zhu Zhuqing no longer feared the so-called Star Luo Imperial Family.

To hell with the throne. Whoever wants it can have it.

I, Zhu Zhuqing, am a woman who will become a Titled Douluo!

If Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun insist on coming after me when the time comes, then sorry, but they can go to hell.

And as for Dai Mubai, who once drove me to despair, whom I only met for the first time after coming to Suotuo City, and who makes me sick...

If nothing goes wrong, I can sever all ties to that past today.

If I can't sever them in the arena, then I'll do as Tang Feng said and deal with him offline!

"Looks like we're lucky. There's no need to deal with him offline."

Tang Feng looked at the matchup list, which had just come out.

"Tiger-Slaying?" Elsewhere, Dai Mubai looked at the opposing team's name and laughed.

"Big talk. I'd like to see if they have the strength to back it up."

Tang San, standing beside him, was not as arrogant as Dai Mubai. Looking at the words "Tiger-Slaying," he kept feeling that the targets might include more than just a tiger, but grass as well.

I'm feeling a little panicked. What's going on?

"Gentlemen, it's your team's turn to enter."

"Let's go!"

"I'll leave this to you. Don't disappoint me, Zhu Zhuqing. His Soul Power is about the same as yours, both at level thirty-eight, but I believe you can cut off his head."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly, her gaze resolute.

The two teams, four people in all, stepped onto the arena from opposite directions.

They stood facing each other fifty meters apart.

To make the show more entertaining and prevent Tang San and Dai Mubai from surrendering the moment they saw him, Tang Feng had also covered his face with a mysterious little mask.

"Silver Tiger Team versus Tiger-Slaying Team!"

"A two-on-two, four-person Soul Fight."

"The Soul Fight..."

"Begin!"
