The Titan Giant Ape Arrived, Gave Her a Glare, and Then Was Dumbfounded

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

Watching Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang and her granddaughter leave, Zhao Wuji snorted coldly. Though he was somewhat concerned, it was not much.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was already dead. Even if they wanted revenge, they would have to think twice about it.

He was a Soul Sage, after all, not someone to be trifled with. Besides, these Little Monsters all had far-from-ordinary backgrounds.

A purple Soul Ring swiftly emerged from the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's body.

Oscar sat cross-legged and quickly began absorbing it.

"Teacher Zhao, shouldn't we leave right away?"

"What if that Dragon Duke comes back? Wouldn't we be finished?"

Tang Lin was a little worried.

Zhao Wuji shrugged.

"What's there to fear? Who would think we're still in the same place?"

"It won't be too late to leave after Oscar finishes absorbing it. Then we can look for a Soul Ring for you."

"The Star Dou Forest is so vast. A single wrong turn can put you an unknown distance away. Running into them again would be extremely difficult."

"So it's quite safe."

Tang Lin said nothing more. She sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

Oscar soon finished absorbing the Soul Ring. A faint pink glow settled over his body.

Three Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.

Aside from the original Two Yellow Soul Rings, the third, shining purple Soul Ring displayed its own formidable power.

Oscar had finally broken through the Soul Grandmaster rank and entered the Soul Elder realm.

"Congratulations, Xiao Ao."

Zhao Wuji smiled. A fourteen-year-old Food System Soul Elder was unprecedented.

Several People clamored to learn about his Third Soul Skill.

When they learned that his Third Soul Skill was flight, they were instantly stunned.

They immediately felt that his future was boundless. A Support System Divine Skill that normally only appeared with the Sixth Soul Ring had actually appeared as his Third Soul Skill.

Ning Rongrong was especially stunned.

She had originally thought Oscar was merely a sleazy guy. She had never expected him to be so strong.

Next, they needed to find a suitable Third Soul Ring for Tang Lin.

After changing locations and resting for another night, the group once again began their journey to search for Soul Beasts.

Two days passed, yet they found no suitable Soul Beasts.

Especially since they feared encountering danger, they did not venture too deeply into the Star Dou Forest and continued searching along the outskirts.

Night fell once more, and the group swiftly settled down to rest.

Zhao Wuji stood at the edge, keeping watch for everyone.

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful presence descended upon him.

Zhao Wuji instantly completed Martial Soul Possession, becoming one with the Great Strength Vajra Bear.

"Everyone, get up! Quickly!"

He let out a fierce roar and hurriedly roused them.

The group, who had been resting, quickly gathered beside Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Wuji merely stared coldly ahead.

"Everyone, get behind me. If anything happens later, don't worry about me. Leave this place immediately. Get out of the Star Dou Forest first."

"Mubai, if I'm not here, the responsibility of protecting everyone will be yours."

Everyone was instantly confused. They did not understand what had happened that could make Zhao Wuji, who had always been confident in his own strength, so nervous.

Only Tang Lin knew clearly.

The Titan Giant Ape had come for Xiao Wu.

[System Bind: Titan Giant Ape!]

Upon discovering the Titan Giant Ape, the Sixty-Forty System immediately set its binding target on him.

Tang Lin's strength rapidly rose to a terrifying level.

She did not know exactly how strong she had become, but killing her former self, who had been bound to Zhao Wuji, would probably take only a single slap.

Just as everyone was about to ask, Two towering trees slowly parted to either side, and an enormous figure silently emerged from between them.

It was a being as massive as a mountain, its pitch-black fur glimmering faintly beneath the dim starlight and moonlight.

It stood over seven meters tall, like a small hill.

A gigantic black ape.

Its terrifying body exerted an overwhelming pressure on everyone.

"King of the Forest, Titan Giant Ape!"

Zhao Wuji instantly felt a chill run down his spine. He respectfully bowed.

"Honorable King of the Forest, we mean no offense. If this is your territory, we are willing to leave immediately."

Compared to facing the King of the Forest, he would rather face the Dragon Duke.

Tang Lin slowly raised her head to look at the gigantic black ape.

It didn't seem like much—aside from looking a bit bigger, that was all.

The Titan Giant Ape's powerful body suddenly trembled when it met Tang Lin's gaze.

The ground shook as a result.

At that moment, it was completely dumbfounded.

It hadn't sensed any presence stronger than itself when it arrived!

The Titan Giant Ape gulped, the enormous sound booming like thunder.

Its intelligence was equal to that of a human's, and it could clearly tell that meeting Sister Xiao Wu today was no longer happening.

It would be better to leave first. Sister Xiao Wu appeared perfectly safe.

Yet that nervous gulp made Zhao Wuji think the Titan Giant Ape was hungry and wanted to eat them!

"Go, quickly! I'll hold it back!"

Zhao Wuji took a deep breath. The seven rings around him blazed brightly as he charged straight toward the Titan Giant Ape.

The first, second, third, and fifth rings lit up simultaneously.

Four Soul Skills were unleashed at once.

The Immovable Ming King Body protected him. Gravity Control spread out from Zhao Wuji, completely enveloping the Titan Giant Ape, while Gravity Compression activated in tandem with Gravity Control, restricting the Titan Giant Ape's movements as much as possible.

His hands swung up as well. The Great Strength Vajra Palm was pushed to its limit, and a powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted.

Zhao Wuji leaped into the air by pushing off from a towering tree beside him. Swinging both hands, he charged at the Titan Giant Ape without sparing any Soul Power.

Zhao Wuji's attack left the Titan Giant Ape utterly stunned.

He actually attacked first?

The Titan Giant Ape suddenly let out a thunderous roar, and a terrifying wave of black air instantly spread outward.

Zhao Wuji, who had leaped into the air and charged forward, was instantly sent flying by the powerful black wave.

The Shrek Academy Group on the ground did not fare much better, their bodies thrown backward through the air.

At that moment, Tang Lin was the only one who could remain steadily on the ground.

Tang Lin was dumbfounded.

What's going on? Why wasn't I sent flying? I need to fly backward.

She stomped both feet fiercely against the ground.

Only then did her body swiftly retreat backward, finally making it look as though she had been blown away by the airwave.

The Titan Giant Ape raised its right forelimb and scratched its head in confusion.

What was going on with that person?

She was clearly fine, yet she had pretended to be blown backward?

Just because Zhao Wuji and the others could not see it did not mean it could not.

Perfect!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, it swiftly released its Gravity Domain. The gravity on everyone except Xiao Wu was reduced, sending them flying even farther away.

The Titan Giant Ape reached out and swiftly grabbed Xiao Wu in its hand.
