Dragon Serpent Couple

Chao Tianxiang continued, "My old man and I came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to find a suitable third Soul Ring for our granddaughter.

Judging by the ages of the children around you, none of them seem capable of absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring.

Even if the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's Soul Ring is relatively mild, it still shouldn't be something they can absorb, should it?"

In Chao Tianxiang's eyes, even Dai Mubai, the oldest among these children, was somewhat younger than her granddaughter.

She also had absolute confidence in her granddaughter's strength and simply did not believe that any of these children could have reached level thirty earlier than her.

Hearing the old woman introduce herself, Zhao Wuji was secretly startled. He grabbed Oscar, who was about to argue beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Are you Senior Snake Woman of the Peerless Dragon Serpent?"

Chao Tianxiang smiled calmly. "I wouldn't dare claim such a title, but that is indeed me. May I ask the name of this Soul Sage?"

Zhao Wuji's expression changed slightly. He had long heard of the Peerless Dragon Serpent.

This husband-and-wife pair had made their names very early on and possessed extraordinary strength. Dragon Duke Meng Shu in particular had already been at the Soul Sage level when Zhao Wuji first heard of him.

Even if he had now reached the Soul Douluo realm, Zhao Wuji would not find it surprising.

Dragon Duke's Martial Soul was a Dragon Head Crutch, which complemented Snake Woman's Serpent Cane perfectly.

The couple possessed an extremely domineering Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Unless one had the strength of a Titled Douluo, it was difficult to withstand.

Zhao Wuji was only a Soul Sage. Though the Snake Woman before him appeared somewhat weaker than he was, once Dragon Duke appeared, Zhao Wuji would not be able to handle him alone.

The Peerless Dragon Serpent couple had an excellent relationship and were never apart. Since Snake Woman was here, Dragon Duke could not be far away.

"I am Zhao Wuji." Zhao Wuji's expression softened somewhat as he gave his name.

Chao Tianxiang's expression shifted slightly as well. "No wonder. I was wondering how I could happen upon such a young Soul Sage. So you are the famous Immovable Bright King."

Zhao Wuji smiled awkwardly. Famous? Infamous was more like it.

Zhao Wuji smiled. "You flatter me. Back then, I was indeed notorious.

But in recent years, I have lived in seclusion, teaching students at an academy.

This time, I brought these children to the Star Dou Great Forest partly to obtain a Soul Ring for one of them, and partly to broaden their horizons. I didn't expect to meet you, Senior."

Chao Tianxiang did not wish to continue tangling with Zhao Wuji and went straight to the point. "I am a little older than you, so I shall take the liberty of calling you Brother Zhao.

Brother Zhao, this thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is extremely important to my granddaughter. She has already reached level thirty and needs a suitable Soul Ring.

We were the ones who found this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent first and injured it. It only escaped because of a moment's carelessness.

Could you do me a favor and return this Soul Beast to us? I will certainly remember this kindness and repay it someday."

"Elder Sister Chao, I'm afraid that will be difficult." Zhao Wuji put on a troubled expression.

The girl standing beside Chao Tianxiang could not help speaking up. "What's so difficult about it? We were clearly the ones who found this thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent first.

If we hadn't already injured it, would you have captured it so easily?

Hurry up and return it to us, or we won't be polite." As she spoke, she raised the Serpent Cane in her hand.

Chao Tianxiang frowned as well and stared at Zhao Wuji. "Brother Zhao, are you saying that you do not intend to return this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent to my granddaughter and me?"

Zhao Wuji smiled slightly. "Elder Sister Chao, that isn't quite right. In the Star Dou Great Forest, all Soul Beasts are ownerless.

Perhaps you truly did discover this thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent first and injure it, but we were the ones who caught it in the end.

If you insist that it belongs to you, that hardly seems fair.

It may be suitable for your granddaughter, but it is equally suitable for one of my students.

This relatively mild Soul Beast would also greatly benefit this student's Martial Soul."

Chao Tianxiang froze. "Are you saying that one of your students has also reached level thirty?"

Zhao Wuji nodded.

Chao Tianxiang was shocked. The oldest of these boys and girls appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen, while most looked merely twelve or thirteen. If one of them had already reached level thirty, didn't that mean their talent surpassed even her granddaughter's?

At that thought, disbelief appeared on Chao Tianxiang's face, and her gaze fell directly on Dai Mubai, the handsome Evil Eye White Tiger who looked the oldest.

Zhao Wuji smiled. "If Senior does not believe me, then how about this? I'll have the children summon their Martial Souls and let you see for yourself.

Shrek students, summon your Martial Souls. Show Senior Snake Woman your Soul Rings."

At once, the Soul Rings of the seven young men and women before Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang all shone brilliantly. Each of them possessed two yellow hundred-year Soul Rings, while Dai Mubai had an additional purple thousand-year Soul Ring.

The sight truly shocked Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang.

At that moment, Bai Ge completely withdrew his Little Universe, concealed his aura, reduced his presence, and slipped off to the side.

How is this possible? That was Chao Tianxiang's first thought.

These children, ranging from twelve to fifteen years old, had all reached at least the level of Soul Grandmaster?

The eldest-looking one even possessed a third Soul Ring.

Moreover, every one of their Soul Rings was of such high quality. Not a single ten-year Soul Ring could be seen.

What did that mean? If one child had talent greater than her granddaughter's, perhaps Chao Tianxiang could have accepted it.

But judging from their ages, every one of these children had displayed strength surpassing her granddaughter's.

It could be said that all seven boys and girls were geniuses.

But how could so many geniuses appear all at once?

Seeing the shock in Chao Tianxiang's eyes, Zhao Wuji could not help feeling secretly pleased. Wearing a foxlike smile, he said, "Senior, do my students meet your approval?"

Chao Tianxiang took a deep breath and barely calmed herself. With a forced smile, she said, "Of course. As expected of the disciples of the Immovable Bright King.

Truly, heroes emerge in their youth!

I wonder which of these children has reached level thirty?"

Zhao Wuji patted Oscar beside him. "This brat. He just reached level thirty. What can I do? I'm fated to toil, so I could only bring them here."
