Through Zhu Zhuqing's observations, Tang San determined that it was a thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, perfect for providing Oscar with his third soul ring.

Oscar was delighted. They had only entered the Star Dou Great Forest half a day ago, yet they had already found a suitable soul ring.

The previous two times his teacher had taken him to find soul rings, it had taken several days.

Now that they had found a suitable soul ring, as long as they took down the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, they could turn around and leave.

Tang San had learned quite a bit of knowledge about soul beasts from Grandmaster.

He knew the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's weakness: it feared flying creatures.

So he had Ma Hongjun take the lead while he provided support.

After the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent flew over, Ma Hongjun charged forward and forced it back.

Tang San seized the opportunity and transformed his Blue Silver Grass into a cage, trapping the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Zhao Wuji did not merely stand by either. He lent a hand as well.

In the end, they captured the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent alive.

As long as Oscar gave the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent a stab, he would obtain his third soul ring.

Holy Spirit Village.

Villager A: "So this is the Star Dou Great Forest. It looks pretty terrifying."

Villager B: "There are so many soul beasts. I thought they would all be scary, but some are actually cute."

Villager C: "That snake looked terrifying. I never expected it to be taken down."

The villagers chattered away, saying whatever was on their minds outright and never keeping it bottled up.

Lin Xianyu felt that her neck had become a little stiff.

She slowly stretched her neck. Once it felt better, she increased the range of motion.

"Today's viewing time is maxed out. It feels like so much time has passed—much longer than the previous broadcasts..." Lin Xianyu did not care much about the viewing duration. "Still, Meng Yiran is about to appear."

"She seems to be the first supporting female character to appear in Douluo Continent. Apparently, she even kissed Tang San, which made Sister Xiao Wu furious."

"Meng Yiran definitely has not been born yet. I wonder how strong the Peerless Dragon Snake couple are now?"

"They are still young, so they probably have not reached their peak yet. But they should still possess the strength of a Soul Saint and a Soul King."

Lin Xianyu continued looking up at the Sky Screen.

She felt that if she kept watching, her neck would no longer belong to her.

After the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent had been taken down, Zhao Wuji told Oscar to kill it so that he could absorb its soul ring.

When Xiao Wu saw Oscar excitedly heading over to kill the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, compassion stirred in her heart. She remembered that she had once been a soul beast herself. Seeing a soul beast about to be killed gave her a sense of kinship.

She instinctively begged Tang San not to kill the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Fortunately, she spoke softly, and Tang San was the only one who heard her. Otherwise, she would have been ostracized.

Tang San's moral boundaries were remarkably flexible.

He quickly comforted Xiao Wu and made her forget that Oscar was about to kill the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Wu's family of three was still watching the Sky Screen.

Only Xiao Wu herself was not particularly interested; the couple remained quite engrossed.

Watching life several decades in the future through the Sky Screen.

How entertaining was that?

However, when they saw Xiao Wu begging everyone not to kill a soul beast, the couple was frightened half to death.

"She has already gone to the human world. Why can't she be more careful?" Ah Rou said helplessly. "She takes after you—so careless. There is a risk of exposure... No, she has definitely been exposed."

"Tang San's father is a Title Douluo. On the day Xiao Wu returned home with Tang San, he discovered Xiao Wu's identity."

"The reason he did not expose her was also to maximize his own gains..."

The more Ah Rou thought about it, the more worried she became for the Xiao Wu on the Sky Screen.

Seeing Ah Rou so worried, Xiao Wu said speechlessly, "Ah Rou, you are overthinking it. The Xiao Wu on the Sky Screen is not our Xiao Wu."

"Look."

He pointed at Xiao Wu, who was playing with the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

"Our Xiao Wu is here."

"She is not on the Sky Screen."

"As long as we educate her properly, we will not let her end up in the same situation as the one on the Sky Screen."

Xiao Wu gave Ah Rou his assurance.

He also secretly swore that he would teach Xiao Wu well and never let her run off into human society to take risks.

Oscar was about to use his dagger to kill the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent when someone suddenly shouted for him to stop.

Oscar obediently did not make a move.

Zhao Wuji looked toward the source of the voice and saw an elderly woman with silver hair, accompanied by a young girl with short hair cut at ear level.

The elderly woman was clearly the one who had spoken.

She walked toward Zhao Wuji's group and displayed six soul rings.

A six-ringed Soul Emperor!

"This old woman is Chao Tianxiang!"

As the elderly woman slowly approached, she introduced herself.

Zhao Wuji found the name somewhat familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before.

Chao Tianxiang demanded the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent from Zhao Wuji.

Though she was merely a Soul Emperor, she showed no trace of nervousness when facing Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint.

Naturally, Zhao Wuji did not want to hand over the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Since Chao Tianxiang dared to demand the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent from Zhao Wuji, she naturally had some confidence.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent had originally been discovered by her and her granddaughter, and they had even injured it.

It was only because the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent ran too quickly that Zhao Wuji and the Shrek Academy students had captured it.

Chao Tianxiang did not wish to make an enemy of a Soul Saint either.

But the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was quite suitable as her granddaughter's soul ring, so she could only brace herself and ask Zhao Wuji for it.

"Old woman, you actually appeared on the Sky Screen!" Meng Shu said in surprise.

The Peerless Dragon Snake couple consisted of Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Grandma Chao Tianxiang.

The husband and wife were inseparable and connected in heart and mind. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill they used was immensely powerful.

At present, it could only contend with Spirit Douluo-level experts.

But once either of them advanced to Spirit Douluo, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill would allow them to exchange blows even with the weakest Title Douluo.

When the original story took place, there had already been rumors that the Peerless Dragon Snake couple had fought against a Title Douluo.

The weakest Title Douluo mentioned here was probably the gatekeeper of Title Douluos—the Poison Douluo.

Dugu Bo: Was it me? Was it me? Even a Martial Soul Fusion Skill between a Spirit Douluo and a Soul Emperor could not handle me? Was it really talking about me?

Meng Shu was currently a Soul Saint above level seventy and had not yet reached Spirit Douluo.

Chao Tianxiang was also currently a Soul King above level fifty, not yet a Soul Emperor in her sixties.

The couple's strength had not yet reached its peak.

"I saw it, I saw it. Don't be so surprised..." Chao Tianxiang rolled her eyes, then looked at Meng Yiran on the Sky Screen. "Old man, look. That's our granddaughter!"

"Our granddaughter? She is quite cute. Too bad she has not been born yet. Should we urge our son to quickly find a wife and have us a granddaughter?" Meng Shu said.

"Enough, don't cause trouble." Chao Tianxiang replied irritably.

The Peerless Dragon Snake couple was still young. Their son had only just grown up and did not even have a wife, much less a daughter.
