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

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

Even if the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent's Spirit Ring is somewhat gentler, it still shouldn't be something they can absorb."

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

Moreover, she had tremendous confidence in her granddaughter's strength and simply did not believe any of these children could have reached level thirty before her.

Upon hearing the old woman's introduction, Zhao Wuji was secretly shocked. He grabbed Oscar, who was about to speak up and argue, and said gravely, "Are you the senior Snake Woman of the Peerless Dragon Snake?"

Chao Tianxiang smiled faintly. "I wouldn't dare deny it. That is indeed me. May I ask the name of this Soul Saint, Your Excellency?"

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

This married couple had risen to prominence long ago and possessed extraordinary strength. Dragon Lord Meng Shu in particular had already been a Soul Saint when Zhao Wuji first heard of him.

He would not be surprised even if Dragon Lord Meng Shu had now reached the Soul Douluo realm.

Dragon Lord Meng Shu'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 merely a Soul Saint. Although the Snake Woman before him appeared somewhat weaker than he was, once Dragon Lord Meng Shu appeared, Zhao Wuji would be no match for him alone.

The Peerless Dragon Snake Couple had an excellent relationship and were never apart. Since Snake Woman was here, Dragon Lord Meng Shu could not be far away.

"I am Zhao Wuji." At once, 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 casually run into such a young Soul Saint. So you are the famed Immovable Bright King."

Zhao Wuji smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that his great fame was probably infamy instead.

Zhao Wuji smiled. "I don't deserve such praise. Back then, I was indeed notorious.

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

This time, I brought these children to the Star Dou Great Forest both to obtain a Spirit Ring for one of them and to let them gain some experience. I never expected to encounter you, Senior."

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

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

We discovered this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent first and wounded it. We merely let it escape through a moment of carelessness.

Could I ask Brother Zhao to do us a favor and return this spirit beast to us? This old woman will certainly remember this kindness and repay it someday."

"Big Sister Chao, I'm afraid that would be difficult." Zhao Wuji wore a troubled expression.

The young girl standing beside Chao Tianxiang could no longer hold herself back. "What's so difficult about it? We clearly found this thousand-year Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent first.

If we hadn't already injured it, would you have caught 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 also frowned, staring at Zhao Wuji. "Brother Zhao, does that mean you don't intend to return this thousand-year Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent to my granddaughter and me?"

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

Perhaps you really did discover this thousand-year Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent first and injure it, but we were the ones who ultimately caught it.

Isn't it rather unfair for you to insist that it belongs to you?

Though it may be more suitable for your granddaughter, it is equally suitable for one of my students.

This relatively gentle spirit beast would also greatly benefit my 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 before her looked no more than fifteen or sixteen, while most appeared to be only 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 landed directly on the oldest-looking, handsome Evil Eye White Tiger, Dai Mubai.

Zhao Wuji smiled. "If Senior does not believe me, then let's do this. I'll have these children unleash their martial souls for you to see.

Shrek students, unleash your martial souls. Show Senior Snake Woman your Spirit Rings.

Immediately, the seven young men and women standing before Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang were surrounded by the gleam of Spirit Rings. Each possessed two yellow hundred-year Spirit Rings, while Dai Mubai had an additional purple thousand-year Spirit Ring.

The sight truly shocked Snake Woman Chao Tianxiang.

At that moment, Bai Ge completely withdrew his inner cosmos, concealed his aura, lowered his presence, and slipped off to the side.

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

These children, ranging from twelve to fifteen years old, had all reached at least the rank of Grand Spirit Masters?

The oldest-looking one even possessed a third Spirit Ring.

Moreover, every single one of their Spirit Rings was of such high quality. Not a single ten-year Spirit Ring was among them.

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

But judging from their ages, the strength these children displayed showed that every one of them surpassed her granddaughter.

It could be said that all seven of these young men and women 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 delighted. With a smile like a smiling tiger, he said, "Senior, do my students meet your standards?"

Chao Tianxiang took a deep breath and barely calmed herself. With a smile that did not reach her eyes, she said, "Of course. They are worthy disciples of the Immovable Bright King.

Heroes truly emerge in their youth!

Which one of these children has reached level thirty?"

Zhao Wuji patted Oscar beside him. "This kid. He just reached level thirty. I can't help it, I'm destined to work hard, so I could only bring them here."
