Dai Mubai and the others saw the six soul rings and did not think much of it.

After all, Zhao Wuji was a seven-ring Soul Saint.

Zhao Wuji immediately released his own soul rings as well.

When Chao Tianxiang saw the seven soul rings appear, her expression turned serious.

She glared fiercely at the people before her and said coldly,

"So you're a Soul Saint. But I discovered this soul beast first, so you can't give this soul ring to that child!"

"Why should it be yours just because you say you found it first?"

Oscar stepped forward, clearly unconvinced.

After all, good soul rings were not so easy to come by.

Watching this familiar scene unfold from the side, Ye Xiaobao smiled faintly.

The soul ring that should have belonged to Meng Yiran had still ended up in Oscar's hands.

But... the External Soul Bone, the Thousand Spider Lance, seemed to appear today as well.

Zhao Wuji, meanwhile, fell into thought. After pondering for a while, he finally remembered who the old woman was. He stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said,

"Could you be Senior Snake Dowager, one half of the Peerless Dragon Snake?"

"It's them!" Dai Mubai exclaimed under his breath.

Ma Hongjun leaned closer.

"Boss Dai, who is she? Is she famous?"

"She is the Snake Dowager of the Peerless Dragon Snake couple. It is said that the Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager possess an immensely powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, capable of fighting a Titled Douluo."

"Ah!"

Ma Hongjun could not help crying out in surprise.

When Chao Tianxiang heard herself recognized, her expression softened somewhat.

"That's right, it is I. And you are?"

"I am Zhao Wuji. May I ask why Senior Snake Dowager says this soul beast was discovered by you first?"

So it's Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Ming King. He's no easy opponent, Snake Dowager thought.

But Meng Yiran, standing beside Snake Dowager, put her hands on her hips and said unhappily,

"Of course we found it first! If you don't believe me, look at the soul beast's belly. The wounds my grandmother left are still there."

Zhao Wuji's expression darkened at those words. He signaled Dai Mubai with his eyes.

Dai Mubai stepped forward to inspect it, then nodded at Zhao Wuji.

Seeing that a conflict was likely to break out, Qin Ming stepped forward and said,

"Senior Snake Dowager, I am Qin Ming, a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. These are all my students. Although you discovered the soul beast first, we were the ones who killed it."

After speaking, he observed Chao Tianxiang's expression. Seeing no reaction, he continued,

"I ask that you yield it to us, Senior."

After Qin Ming finished, he cupped his fists and bowed once more.

Ye Xiaobao found the scene rather amusing.

With Zhao Wuji's strength, there had been no need to say any of this. But their opponent was Snake Dowager, one half of the Peerless Dragon Snake.

Zhao Wuji could only try to settle things through proper negotiation.

After all, in the world of soul masters, strength reigned supreme.

Otherwise, who would bother reasoning with anyone?

Seeing the lineup on the other side, Chao Tianxiang found herself in a difficult position as well.

"It seems the name of the Peerless Dragon Snake is no longer of any use!"

Zhao Wuji instantly tensed up. He feared that Dragon Duke might be nearby and immediately became vigilant.

Snake Dowager tapped her cane against the ground.

"Yiran."

Meng Yiran thought her grandmother was calling her grandfather over to display his might, so she immediately stepped forward.

"We don't want this soul ring. Let's go."

Meng Yiran did not react at first and stood there stunned.

Once she came to her senses, she stomped her foot in displeasure and said,

"Grandmother."

"Let's go..."

With that, Snake Dowager led Meng Yiran away.

Oscar let out a long breath of relief.

"Whew, that scared me to death. I thought my soul ring was going to be snatched away."

Zhao Wuji was tense as well and urged,

"What are you waiting for? Absorb the soul ring, quickly."

Oscar scratched his head, then drove a dagger into the Phoenix Tail Rooster Snake's fleshy crest.

A purple soul ring emerged.

Oscar sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the soul ring.

Meanwhile, Meng Yiran, who had gone some distance away, was still unhappy.

"Grandmother, that soul ring was obviously very suitable for me. Why did you let them have it?"

Snake Dowager stopped, stroked her granddaughter's head, and said in a low voice,

"Yiran, it is only one soul ring. Besides, your grandfather just sent me word. He has already tracked down another soul ring even more suitable for you and wants us to hurry over."

Meng Yiran was still somewhat angry.

"Grandmother, I just can't swallow this insult."

"Once we meet up with your grandfather and help you absorb a soul ring, there will be plenty of chances to settle the score with them later."

Naturally, Snake Dowager did not want to let the matter go so easily. But with Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Ming King, there just now, she had not dared press too hard.

"Let's go. We'll find your grandfather first."

As she spoke, the two sped off in a certain direction...

On Ye Xiaobao's side,

an incense stick's worth of time had already passed.

Oscar had finished absorbing the soul ring, and the group had learned about his soul ring ability.

"A flying soul skill? And it lets him fly at the speed of a Phoenix Tail Rooster Snake for one minute?"

Zhao Wuji was extremely excited and happily patted Oscar several more times.

Oscar's shoulders ached from the blows, but he did not dare say anything and could only grin foolishly.

After all, anyone could see the value of this soul skill.

Ye Xiaobao also looked at Oscar with appreciation.

A talent like this would sooner or later belong to the Martial Soul Empire.

Dai Mubai said excitedly as well,

"Little Ao, not bad. Your luck really is good."

"Hehehe."

Qin Ming wore a faint smile as well.

"All right, let's go quickly. It would be bad if the Peerless Dragon Snake couple came back."

Suddenly,

Boom!

A massive explosion sounded from afar.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically. He said gravely,

"Powerful experts are fighting over there. Judging from the fluctuations, they may be Titled Douluo-level experts. We need to leave quickly."

As he spoke, he was about to lead everyone away.

Ye Xiaobao narrowed his eyes slightly.

His powerful spiritual power had already probed in that direction.

It's them!

Ye Xiaobao detected that those fighting were the Peerless Dragon Snake couple from before and a soul beast.

And that soul beast was actually the king of the forest.

The Titan Giant Ape.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were nearby as well.

Behind Tang San was unmistakably an External Soul Bone.

The Eight Spider Lances.

What a windfall.

It was only a pity that Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo had been sent by him on a mission. Otherwise, the odds would have been even better.

Without hesitation, Ye Xiaobao ran straight toward that direction.

When Qin Ming saw Ye Xiaobao heading over, he immediately grew anxious.

"Xiaobao, come back! What are you doing?"

Naturally, Ye Xiaobao did not want to waste time, so he did not explain at all.

Before long, he had vanished from sight.

Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes. He had no concern whatsoever for Ye Xiaobao, a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Although Shrek had merged into Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it was merely a temporary measure.

Once the time was right, they would certainly establish themselves independently again.

He said coldly,

"Qin Ming, it's too dangerous over there. If he wants to throw his life away, let him. We're leaving."

Qin Ming turned back to look at Ma Hongjun and the others, then shook his head regretfully.

"Sigh, let's go. We can't bury so many of us for one person!"

Then, the group quickly left in the opposite direction.

Only Zhu Zhuqing kept looking back in Ye Xiaobao's direction.

Seeing that his fiancée was still concerned about another man, Dai Mubai felt his anger surge.

"Hmph, Zhuqing, he's only seeking death. He has no idea of his own limits. You don't need to care about him."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai. Though he was fairly talented and engaged to her,

he was ultimately a lecherous man who might not even be able to save his own life.

He was not someone worth relying on.
