Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent

Xu Yichen looked at Xiao Wu beside him. When Xiao Wu saw Xu Yichen approach, her body trembled.

"Don't touch Xiao Wu!"

Tang San grabbed Xu Yichen's calf.

"Get lost."

Xu Yichen kicked Tang San away. He did not intend to teach Tang San a lesson today. After all, Tang San had not made a move, so there was no reason for it, nor was this the right time.

There would be plenty of time once they tore off all pretenses. For now, he still needed to grow stronger.

Seeing that Xu Yichen had not attacked Tang San, Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell me, why does a girl like you enjoy fighting so much? You've been led astray. Want to come to Angel Academy?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Wu's small mouth fell open in surprise. She had thought Xu Yichen had come to deal with her, but he was actually recruiting her.

Zhao Wuji beside her was dumbfounded as well. His students had been beaten badly, and now their only female student was being recruited by the other side. Yet he could not voice his grievances.

A Titled Douluo was watching him like this. Did anyone know how terrified he was? Even when Spirit Hall had hunted him down, he had not been this scared.

"Xiao Wu, don't!"

"Forget it."

Xiao Wu shook her head. Xu Yichen was not surprised, nor had he expected to recruit Xiao Wu so quickly. At the very least, he had to sever the connection between those two first.

"Fine. Since you're a girl, I won't hit you. But if you do this again, I'll eat ten Soft Bone Rabbits right in front of you!"

"Devil!"

Xiao Wu was stunned by Xu Yichen's words. Eating ten Soft Bone Rabbits was simply outrageous.

"Fine, don't eat rabbits."

Xiao Wu looked aggrieved. She was being threatened, wasn't she?

"Hmph. That depends on you."

"Ling Xi, let them go. Tell them to get lost!"

"Hiss, beating people without Soul Power feels great!"

Xu Yichen waved his hand, and Ling Xi released the pressure. Everyone who had not fainted rose to their feet, staring at Xu Yichen in terror, their hearts still pounding with lingering fear.

Zhao Wuji carried the unconscious Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai back into their room. Canghui Academy had it worse—everyone except one girl had fainted.

With no other choice, the girl paid someone to carry them back to their rooms.

"Boss, these ten Gold Soul Coins are compensation for you."

"No need, my lord. No need."

The boss trembled, terrified that if he accepted the money, he would be beaten to death.

"Listen to yourself. Your restaurant has been wrecked like this—how are you supposed to do business afterward? Take it. And bring me another table of dishes."

"Yes!!"

The boss had not expected this Lord Soul Master to be so reasonable.

"Wow! The dean is so gentle. Just like Sister Ling Xi said."

"Sister Ling Xi?"

Xu Yichen was completely baffled. Had their relationship already reached that point?

"Of course. Sister Ling Xi isn't much older than us anyway. Is there anything wrong with calling her Sister?"

"Ahem, no. Nothing."

Xu Yichen was speechless. Calling a thousand-year-old angel their sister—they really dared to imagine it.

"Alright. After you finish eating, get some rest. We'll be entering the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow."

"Mm."

After dinner, they returned to their rooms. The night passed without incident.

The next day, early morning.

The sun had just risen in the east, and a pale strip of dawn hung across the sky.

Xu Yichen woke Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

"So early?"

"Shrek Academy has already left. We need to catch up."

"Alright."

Ning Rongrong no longer had that young miss attitude. That was quite nice.

After washing up, the four set out along the road to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"This time, we need to find Zhuqing a dark-attribute soul beast. Preferably one with strong speed and piercing ability, so it suits Zhuqing. A powerful attacker would work too."

"As for Rong Rong..."

"Dean, the soul skills of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are all the same. It's the same even after becoming a Glazed Angel, so we only need to find a soul beast with strong Soul Power."

"Alright."

Xu Yichen nodded. For Ning Rongrong, it truly did not matter what kind of soul beast it was. Her boosts were fixed, and their effects were not affected by the quality of the soul ring. However, the higher the quality of the soul ring, the less Soul Power she would consume when using soul skills.

So they only needed to find one with a higher cultivation age if possible.

The group hurried forward at full speed and soon reached the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xu Yichen caught a whiff of delicate fragrance that was refreshing and soothing.

"The air in the Star Dou Great Forest is really nice. If there weren't so many powerful soul beasts here, it might be a great place to live."

Xu Yichen stretched lazily.

"Yes, it really is nice. But it's far too dangerous."

Ning Rongrong looked ahead. Even the shortest trees were over twenty meters tall, making for a truly awe-inspiring sight.

"Alright. The Star Dou Great Forest is extremely dangerous. There are countless thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts inside. Once we enter, you two must stay within ten meters of Ling Xi."

"I'll clear the way in front. Rong Rong will stay in the middle, Ling Xi will guard the rear, and Zhuqing should watch our surroundings."

"Alright!"

Xu Yichen's body was incredibly powerful. The thorns ahead could not even pierce his flesh, much less poison him.

Elsewhere.

"Boss Dai, it's a flying snake, but it can't fly very high—only around three meters above the ground. It has a fleshy crest on its head, larger than its head itself, bright red like blood. Its tail is unusual, shaped like a fan."

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. "It's a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. This kind of soul beast is relatively rare. Oscar, you're in luck. It can be your third soul ring."

"Yes!"

Oscar's eyes brightened. He felt his luck was truly good. Not long after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, he was about to obtain his third soul ring. And yesterday, when Ma Hongjun and the others had been beaten up, he had not been hit. Wonderful.

"Fatty, check how long that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is and what color its wings are."

Tang San suddenly asked.

"Light red. Six to eight meters long."

"Oscar, it's perfect for you. Light red signifies a thousand years, and judging by its length, it should be between thirteen hundred and eighteen hundred years old."

"Little San, you're amazing. You're practically an encyclopedia of the Soul Master world."

"It's all thanks to my teacher." Tang San smiled.

If Xu Yichen had been here, he definitely would not have been able to stop himself from laughing.

Knowledge about this kind of soul beast was taught at every advanced Soul Master Academy. It was only Shrek Academy that did not teach it.

What soul master who graduated from another advanced Soul Master Academy would not know this? Anyone who did not simply had not studied properly.

"How do we catch this kind of soul beast?"

"Snakes fear attacking birds. Fatty should be able to suppress it."

"It's coming!"
