Meng Yiran's Furious Humiliation

Worried for Meng Yiran's safety, Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang directly intervened to stop Huo Feng's attack.

She personally conceded defeat.

This came as a surprise to everyone.

Meng Yiran's face was deathly pale. She could no longer hold on.

With a cough, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

She slumped to the ground, utterly drained.

After being sacrificed by Huo Feng earlier, her physical condition had already become extremely poor.

Yet she had still forcibly launched an attack against him.

Now, the potential Meng Yiran had drawn out vanished as swiftly as air escaping from a balloon.

Unable to endure any longer, she collapsed to the ground and immediately entered a meditative state to heal her injuries with Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang's help.

Her eyes were slightly closed, unwilling to look at Huo Feng, who stood not far in front of her.

She had lost, and she had lost completely.

Only Meng Yiran herself knew that she was no match for Huo Feng at all.

She had not even possessed the slightest chance to resist.

Only now did she finally understand.

When Huo Feng had said earlier that he would spar with her without using soul skills, he had not been arrogant.

He truly had the confidence and strength to do so.

At that moment, Oscar hurried over to Huo Feng's side and handed him a Recovery Sausage he had prepared long ago.

Then, waggling his brows, he said, "Brother, hurry and eat it. If I ever make it big in the future, I definitely won't forget you."

Huo Feng looked embarrassed and helpless. Smiling, he repeatedly waved his hands in refusal.

"Thank you for the thought, but I feel perfectly fine right now. There's no need to eat a sausage to replenish myself."

His spar with Meng Yiran had barely consumed any Soul Power at all.

There was also an extremely important reason.

Oscar's lewd expression, combined with the sausage in his hand...

It was simply too disgusting.

No ordinary person could fucking bring themselves to eat it.

Seeing this, Oscar did not press the matter.

He was in an exceptionally good mood now, and the excitement in his heart was nearly impossible to suppress.

Serpent Granny had personally conceded defeat.

That meant the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent becoming his third soul ring was practically guaranteed.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji looked at Serpent Granny with a smile. "Sister Chao, what do you say?"

Serpent Granny remained calm, though a strange gleam lurked deep in her eyes.

"A wager is a wager. A loss is a loss. The thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is yours. This old woman will remember what happened today."

As though he had not understood Chao Tianxiang's threat, Zhao Wuji turned and gave Oscar a meaningful look. "You brat, hurry up already."

Naturally, he was reminding Oscar to quickly finish off the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and absorb its soul ring.

Once that was done, they could leave this place sooner.

That would prevent further complications and avoid trouble arising later.

Hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Oscar was instantly overjoyed. He had waited far too long for this moment.

He quickly rushed to Zhao Wuji, taking the short blade Zhao Wuji handed him.

With lightning speed, he mercilessly plunged it into the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's vital point.

With Zhao Wuji's Soul Power binding it, although the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent struggled violently after its vital point was struck, how could it possibly break free?

Its life force rapidly drained away, and before long, it stopped moving.

Only after sensing that the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent truly no longer had any trace of life did Zhao Wuji toss it onto the ground.

Oscar sat down directly beside the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and raised a hand to summon his Great Sausage.

Bathed in a pale pink glow, he guided the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's soul ring into his body.

He began absorbing the third soul ring of his life.

Zhao Wuji did not relax just because Oscar had begun absorbing the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's soul ring. His gaze remained fixed on Chao Tianxiang.

Though they had called it a wager, who could be certain that Serpent Granny would not suddenly go back on her word and attack? After all, verbal promises held no real binding power.

The Worldly Dragon Serpent's reputation was indeed formidable, but it was hardly a good one.

Even if it was somewhat better than Zhao Wuji's reputation as the Immovable Bright King, it was not much better.

Chao Tianxiang made no move, merely silently helping her granddaughter heal.

Zhao Wuji watched her, while she warily watched Zhao Wuji. Their silent confrontation left both of them in an extreme state of tension.

Not long after, Chao Tianxiang withdrew the hand she had placed on Meng Yiran's body and pulled her granddaughter up from the ground.

Though Meng Yiran's face was still pale, she seemed to be in better spirits. She glared fiercely at Huo Feng, who was leisurely leaning against a tree trunk not far away.

Her legs still felt somewhat numb.

For that sensation to disappear completely, she would likely need several days of rest.

Huo Feng's martial soul was truly bizarre. Not only could it change forms, but its properties were also extremely strange.

Especially that Deep Blue Longsword of his, flickering with arcs of electricity. The moment it came into contact with her, she had felt terrible all over.

It was as though that guy had ** her.

At that thought, a blush flashed across Meng Yiran's face, but there was even more fury and hatred.

Then her gaze fell upon Oscar, who was absorbing the thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's soul ring, and her anger flared even more.

Meng Yiran looked up at her grandmother, stamped her foot, and said furiously, "Grandma, you have to stand up for me!"

Chao Tianxiang frowned slightly, then sighed. "Let's go. We've already lost. We'll talk after we find your grandfather."

Then she turned her gaze toward Zhao Wuji. "Immovable Bright King, the green mountains remain, the rivers still flow. We shall meet again."

She deliberately emphasized the words "meet again." A cold glint flickered in her eyes, clearly devoid of goodwill.

Fearing that Zhao Wuji might make a move, she had not even dared help her granddaughter recover to her best condition. She had merely suppressed her injuries. There would be time to treat them properly after they left.

Serpent Granny possessed immense experience. She would not give Zhao Wuji any opportunity to attack.

After saying this, Chao Tianxiang finally leapt up with her granddaughter and vanished into the depths of the forest.

Watching Serpent Granny and her granddaughter leave, Zhao Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Dragon Duke had never appeared from beginning to end.

Now that they had obtained the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, even if the couple wanted revenge, they would first have to consider whether it was worth it.

Once Oscar finished absorbing the soul ring, they had better leave this place as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if they encountered the Worldly Dragon Serpent family again, things would not be so easy to handle.

By now, the sky had gradually darkened. The air in the Star Dou Great Forest was humid, and the rich fragrance of vegetation made one feel refreshed all over.

If not for the Soul Beasts lurking everywhere, this place might have been a paradise on earth.

At that moment, Oscar slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, the pale pink glow around him suddenly changed, turning into a vivid rose pink. His entire body was bathed in that pink radiance.

Three soul rings rose beneath his feet. Aside from the two original yellow soul rings, a bright purple soul ring displayed its formidable power.

Oscar had finally broken through the Soul Grandmaster level and entered the realm of a Soul Elder.

Oscar, a level thirty-one food-type Soul Elder.
