Provoking a Soul Douluo

"Why is it you people again?!" Meng Yiran demanded.

Tang San answered apologetically, "I've already absorbed this Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring."

"What?" Meng Yiran was thoroughly enraged. Her soul beasts had been snatched away time and again, and by the same group of people at that.

Dai Mubai teased, "Miss, before you fly off the handle, can you first take a good look at your relationship with this Man Faced Demon Spider?"

Xiao Wu chimed in, "Exactly, exactly! How shameless can you be? Does every soul beast you set your eyes on become yours?"

Bang!

With the sound of metal striking the ground, a silver dragon phantom appeared behind Meng Yiran, while eight soul rings pulsed around her.

"I'll prove it." An old man holding a Dragon Head Crutch appeared.

With the Snake Woman as a precursor, everyone from Shrek immediately guessed that this Soul Douluo was Dragon Lord Meng Shu.

"This Man Faced Demon Spider's eyes were injured by this old man. Is that proof enough?!"

Rather than responding, Flender stepped forward with a smile and clasped his hands in greeting. "Greetings, Seniors."

"We meet again, Headmaster Flender." Backed by Dragon Lord, the Snake Woman spoke in a strangely mocking tone.

"You people got to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent before us. As for this Man Faced Demon Spider, we placed a tracking mark on it. We intended to wear it down first and kill it after dawn, but now you've once again—"

Ma Hongjun muttered, "Is this a character problem?"

Meng Yiran heard him and said coldly, "What did you say?!"

She suddenly threw a blade, moving with incredible speed as it flew straight at Ma Hongjun's head.

Fortunately, Tang San reacted quickly enough to catch the blade.

"Headmaster Flender, since your people stole the soul ring first, it isn't too much to ask for Yiran to chop off one of that child's arms, is it?" Dragon Lord spoke with lofty condescension.

Yu Xiaogang immediately stepped forward. "I am Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's teacher. Senior, if you have any anger, take it out on me."

"You're Master?" Dragon Lord sized Yu Xiaogang up. "You do have some sense of responsibility as a teacher. Then today, you can help my granddaughter vent her anger."

Just then, a mocking laugh came from the treetops above. "Hey, old man, I'm afraid your granddaughter will be even more upset if she can't cut off Teacher's hand."

Everyone looked toward the voice. The Snake Woman whispered into Dragon Lord's ear, "This is the child I told you about."

It was Su Xiao. With several leaps, he returned to Shrek's group.

"Xiao Wu, are you all right?" Su Xiao asked with feigned concern. He knew that Er Ming simply missed Xiao Wu and would never hurt her no matter what.

"I'm fine. You stinking A Xiao, you didn't even stop Third Brother. He almost..." Xiao Wu recalled the pained expression on Tang San's face just moments ago, and her eyes instantly reddened again.

Tang San rubbed Xiao Wu's hair and comforted her. "Aren't I fine? I even absorbed my third soul ring along the way, so it turned out to be a blessing in disguise."

Xiao Wu buried her face in Tang San's chest, and the brother and sister embraced.

"Brother, you only know how to bully me, sob sob~"

Su Xiao did not disturb the siblings. Instead, he faced Dragon Lord, the Snake Woman, and Meng Yiran with an imposing air, activating his Martial Soul Possession as he walked forward.

"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring! A Xiao, you've broken through to Soul Ancestor?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

Su Xiao nodded. "Besides that, I also obtained an External Soul Bone."

Three golden claw blades appeared, becoming even more dazzling under the sunlight.

"This is a Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Right Arm Bone." Not only Yu Xiaogang, but Flender, Zhao Wuji, Dragon Lord, and the Snake Woman recognized it as well.

Yu Xiaogang said in astonishment, "A Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is absolutely no weaker than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Su Xiao, you..."

Su Xiao stepped in front of Yu Xiaogang. "Teacher, I'll explain that to you later. First, let's deal with this stubborn old fool who relies on his age.

Since he wants one of your arms, I'll bury every last one of them in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Dragon Lord and the Snake Woman watched Su Xiao warily. This monstrous youth was already a Soul Ancestor at merely twelve years old, and his soul ring configuration was three purple and one black.

If Flender and Zhao Wuji, the two Soul Saints, were added to the equation, then even if Dragon Lord and the Snake Woman joined forces and were comparable to a Titled Douluo, it would still be a bitter battle.

And even if they could retreat unscathed, what about Meng Yiran? Shrek's side still had Tang San and six others.

But what truly made Dragon Lord and the Snake Woman's hearts tremble was that Su Xiao had obtained the soul ring of a Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. That meant he had killed an adult Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

No matter what method Su Xiao had used, it was enough to deal with a Titled Douluo above rank ninety-five.

When this monstrous youth said he would bury their legendary pair of soul masters in the Star Dou Great Forest, it was absolutely not an empty threat.

The more Dragon Lord and the Snake Woman thought about it, the more terrified they became. They had been overbearing just moments ago, but now their heads were covered in cold sweat.

The elderly couple exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Then, they actually knelt on one knee toward Yu Xiaogang at the same time.

Dragon Lord said with utmost sincerity, "Master, this old man failed to recognize greatness and offended you by relying on his age. I beg you to forgive me."

"Grandfather!" Meng Yiran was stunned by the sight. Not only her—everyone else was taken aback as well.

Yu Xiaogang was at a loss and hurriedly helped Dragon Lord and the Snake Woman up. "Seniors, this was only a misunderstanding. Why must you two go this far?"

"Ah—" Dragon Lord let out a long sigh. "Master, you are magnanimous. This old man is ashamed. However, my wife and I have one presumptuous request. Master, you must agree to it!"

Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed slightly before relaxing again. He said gently, "If it is within my power, I will certainly do my utmost."
