This Is the Son of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and a Human?

After roaring, eight Soul Rings appeared around Dragon Duke Meng Shu. With a leap, he arrived before the Man Faced Demon Spider and knocked it unconscious with a single blow, then swept his cold gaze over the Shrek group.

The instant those eight Soul Rings appeared, everyone from Shrek was stunned. This old man was actually a legendary Soul Douluo.

"Dragon Head Cane, an eight-ring Soul Douluo... Could he be...?"

Zhao Wuji's eyes flickered as though he had thought of something. He immediately cupped his hands toward Dragon Duke Meng Shu. "May I ask if you are Senior Meng Shu, the Dragon Duke of the legendary soul master duo, the Peerless Dragon Snake? I am Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Ming King. Greetings."

"Immovable Ming King?"

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Dragon Duke Meng Shu raised his brows slightly. He had not expected to encounter such an expert here.

However, he was a Soul Douluo after all. Though Zhao Wuji had quite the notorious reputation in the soul master world, he was not important enough for Meng Shu to take too seriously.

At this moment, the Shrek Seven Devils also retreated to Zhao Wuji's side.

Hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Ma Hongjun asked Dai Mubai beside him in a low voice, somewhat confused, "Peerless Dragon Snake? Who are they?"

Dai Mubai replied solemnly, "Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang are a married couple known as the Peerless Dragon Snake. They are legends in the soul master world. Even Titled Douluo must avoid their edge when facing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Dragon Snake Combination Skill."

"Hiss... They're that powerful?"

Hearing this, everyone among the Shrek Seven Devils except Ning Rongrong sucked in a breath of cold air.

In their understanding, Titled Douluo stood at the peak of the world, and there were fewer than ten of them known publicly.

Yet the Peerless Dragon Snake could make even Titled Douluo avoid their edge. Their strength was easy to imagine.

Dai Mubai then glanced at Tang San. "Little San, you won't be able to keep your Man Faced Demon Spider!"

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tang San could not help clenching his fists. The Man Faced Demon Spider was one of the best choices for his third Soul Ring. If he missed this chance, he would likely never encounter a Soul Ring better suited to him than this Man Faced Demon Spider.

Just as the Shrek group was in shock, Dragon Duke Meng Shu snorted coldly and said, "Since you know this old man's reputation, why did you still dare to steal my Soul Beast? Do you think this old man is too old to lift the Dragon Head Staff in his hand?"

As he spoke, he fiercely smashed the Dragon Head Staff in his hand against the ground. The violent fluctuation of Soul Power instantly changed the expressions of the Shrek group.

At this moment, Dragon Duke Meng Shu held an absolute advantage. Though Shrek had more people, only Zhao Wuji was a Soul Sage. Other than Dai Mubai, the rest had yet to obtain their third Soul Rings and could not contribute much.

They might even have the opposite effect, because before a Soul Douluo, Soul Grand Masters were simply too fragile. A casual strike could take their lives.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense, Zhao Wuji hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Haha, Senior Dragon Duke, please calm your anger. I did not know that this Man Faced Demon Spider was prey you had set your sights on, which caused this misunderstanding. Now that I know, it should naturally be returned to its rightful owner."

Zhao Wuji was merely reckless, not stupid. Although Dragon Duke Meng Shu was not among the strongest Soul Douluo and did not even possess the best Soul Ring configuration, he was still a Soul Douluo.

If they truly fought, not only would Zhao Wuji be unable to protect these Shrek students, he might not even be able to escape himself.

Moreover, too many of these students had powerful backgrounds.

The son of the Clear Sky Douluo, the prince and princess of the Star Luo Empire, and the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If he dared to abandon them and flee alone, he would face a relentless pursuit to the death. That would be far more terrifying than Spirit Hall's pursuit of him in the past, leaving him virtually no chance of survival.

"What a joke!"

Hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Dragon Duke Meng Shu's face immediately turned cold. "You say it should be returned, and it gets returned? Wouldn't that make this old man lose all face?"

"How about this?"

After seeming to think for a moment, Dragon Duke Meng Shu casually said, "This old man will not bully you. Whoever among you attacked this Man Faced Demon Spider first, cut off his right hand. Let that be a small punishment and a warning, and this matter will be settled. How about it?"

The moment he said this, the Shrek Seven Devils all instinctively glanced toward Tang San. Tang San had been the first to discover the Man Faced Demon Spider, and he had also been the first to attack.

Seeing this, Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his face turning pale. He had not expected the other party to be so ruthless, demanding his arm be cut off over such a minor matter!

Furthermore, Tang San had long regarded the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring as his own. Yet the moment Dragon Duke appeared, he intended to snatch the Man Faced Demon Spider from Tang San's hands, causing him to lose an exceptional Soul Ring.

At that moment, Dragon Duke was instantly labeled in Tang San's heart as someone who deserved to die. If not for the fact that he lacked the strength and might die if he acted, he would have long been unable to suppress his disgust.

Zhao Wuji's expression was even uglier. What a joke—he had merely hit Tang San a little too hard during an assessment, and Tang San had not suffered much injury, yet Tang Hao had beaten him senseless.

If he really allowed someone to cut off Tang San's arm, would he not be close to death?

But soon, Zhao Wuji seemed to think of something and immediately relaxed. He cupped his hands toward Dragon Duke Meng Shu. "Senior, could we speak in private?"

"Hm?"

Zhao Wuji's actions made Dragon Duke Meng Shu pause slightly, but he still nodded and went aside with Zhao Wuji.

"Senior Dragon Duke, my students all come from prominent families. You cannot afford to offend them. It would be better to let this matter go, otherwise neither of us can bear the consequences."

Once they had moved aside, Zhao Wuji said this to Dragon Duke Meng Shu.

Hearing this, Dragon Duke Meng Shu curled his lips disdainfully. "I cannot afford to offend them? There are very few people in this world whom I, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, cannot afford to offend. Go on, then. What factions stand behind your students?"

Zhao Wuji wore a strange expression as he pointed at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. "One of those two is surnamed Dai, and the other is surnamed Zhu. You should know what those two surnames signify, right?"

"You mean to say that the man and woman are the prince and princess of the Star Luo Empire. So what? Besides, from what I observed, neither of them was the first to attack, was he?"

When he heard that the two were the prince and princess of the Star Luo Empire, Dragon Duke's expression shifted slightly, but he soon calmed down.

Although Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's identities were somewhat troublesome, so long as he did not directly harm them, the Star Luo Imperial Family would not come looking for trouble with him over such a minor conflict.

"The troublesome one is the person who attacked first."

Zhao Wuji sighed. "The first one to attack is called Tang San. His father is named Tang Hao!"

The moment these words were spoken, Dragon Duke Meng Shu's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively looked toward Tang San.

So this was the son that madman Tang Hao had with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
