All Monsters, Peerless Dragon Snake Dumbfounded

Dragon Duke Meng Shu, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang, and their granddaughter Meng Yiran.

They were familiar faces from the plot.

Su Bai's gaze fell on Meng Yiran's face, and his thoughts stirred.

An invisible, intangible aura spread soundlessly outward with him at its center, the Auspicious Beast aura and Destiny Halo taking effect.

That aura was not overbearing. Instead, it carried a warm, peaceful gentleness like all things reviving in spring, like the softest breeze slowly brushing over Meng Yiran's body.

Meng Yiran had been staring fixedly at that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, both furious and anxious.

This serpent was something her grandfather and grandmother had specifically sought out for her. They had chased it for half a day, and just when it was about to fall into their hands, this group had beaten them to it.

But just then, Meng Yiran suddenly felt an inexplicable warmth envelop her.

It was an extremely strange feeling, calming much of the restlessness and anger in her heart.

She subconsciously lifted her head, her gaze passing over Flender and the others blocking the front, landing on the young man in the middle of the group.

Around that young man were three stunning girls, each with a different beauty and bearing, yet his own presence had not been overshadowed in the slightest.

He stood there casually, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his face, as if his entire person were glowing.

Meng Yiran's heart began to pound for no reason, like a startled deer.

Who was this man?

Why did looking at him make her feel like she wanted to get closer?

The moment that thought surfaced, Meng Yiran shook her head in embarrassment and irritation, forcing herself to pull her attention back.

On the other side, Flender had already pushed up his crystal glasses, a sharp glint flashing behind the lenses.

He exchanged a look with Zhao Wuji, and both saw solemnity in the other's expression.

"Peerless Dragon Snake. I never expected to meet you two seniors here."

"This junior is Flender."

Flender stepped forward and gave a slight bow to the old man and old woman in salute.

Beside him, Zhao Wuji also put away his usual arrogance and cupped his fists in greeting.

In the Spirit Master world, there was no one who did not know the name Peerless Dragon Snake.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang, husband and wife, were respectively a Soul Douluo and a Spirit Emperor, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Dragon Snake Combined Strike," was even said to be able to contend against a Titled Douluo.

Flender did not dare show the slightest negligence toward such long-renowned old monsters.

The Dragon-headed Cane struck heavily against the ground, and Meng Shu gave a cold snort, not bothering with Flender's pleasantries at all.

His clouded gaze swept over the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent bound by Blue Silver Grass, and his voice was domineering.

"This Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent—this old couple has been chasing it for half a day. Now, it is ours."

He said it with complete confidence, his tone entirely that of a command.

The smile on Flender's face did not change, but his words were neither servile nor overbearing.

"Senior Dragon Duke, we had no way of knowing that.

"The Spirit Master world has its own rules. When hunting Spirit Beasts, it has always been first come, first served.

"Since this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was subdued by my students, then naturally it should belong to us."

"Impudent!"

Before Meng Shu could speak, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang beside him had already shouted sternly.

The snake-headed cane in her hand pointed at Flender, her withered face filled with murderous menace.

"Flender, are you truly going to make enemies of us husband and wife over a mere thousand-year Spirit Beast?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense as drawn swords.

Zhao Wuji stepped forward, his muscles bulging all over, Soul Power beginning to surge.

Flender reached out to stop him, still wearing that smiling expression.

"Senior Snake Dowager, you exaggerate.

"Our Shrek Academy may be small, but we are not soft persimmons to be squeezed at will. Rules are rules."

Meng Shu's gaze slowly swept over Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others, finally landing on Flender, his words full of contempt.

"Rules? With just these students of yours who still smell of milk?"

"In this old man's eyes, they're all so young. Could it be that among you, someone has already reached rank thirty and needs this thousand-year spirit ring?"

As soon as these words came out, a hint of pride also appeared on Meng Yiran's face.

She was fifteen this year, and her Soul Power had already reached rank thirty. Among those her age, she was already a genius.

Meng Yiran did not believe that this group of boys and girls before her, who looked even younger than she was, could possess greater talent than her.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Flender not only did not get angry, but instead seemed to have heard some tremendous compliment, the wrinkles on his face spreading with his smile.

"Heh-heh. Senior Dragon Duke has keen eyes."

Flender cleared his throat and deliberately straightened his back. He looked so smug that Ma Hongjun wanted to go up and punch him.

"Since Senior asked, I'll introduce these few useless students of mine."

He pointed at Dai Mubai at the very front, his voice suddenly rising.

"Dai Mubai, fifteen years old, martial soul White Tiger, Level Thirty-seven Power Attack System Battle Spirit Master!"

Level Thirty-seven?

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's expressions froze slightly.

A fifteen-year-old Spirit Elder at Level Thirty-seven—this talent was already quite astonishing.

Flender gave them no time to react and pointed at Su Bai.

"Su Bai, Twelve Years Old, martial soul Kirin, Level Thirty-five Power Attack System Battle Spirit Master!"

Twelve Years Old?

Level Thirty-five!

Meng Shu's hand tightened subconsciously around his Dragon-headed Cane.

How was that possible!

Flender's vanity was greatly satisfied. He continued the introductions, his voice growing louder with each name.

"Xiao Wu, Twelve Years Old, martial soul Soft Bone Rabbit, Level Thirty-one Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master!"

"Oscar, fourteen years old, martial soul Sausage, Level Thirty Food System tool Spirit Elder!"

"Tang San, Twelve Years Old, martial soul Blue Silver Grass, Level Thirty Control System Battle Spirit Master!"

Every time Flender announced a name and level, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's faces darkened another shade.

By the time they heard of three twelve-year-old Spirit Elders, they were completely speechless.

What kind of monster academy was this?

Did it specialize in wholesaling geniuses?

Meng Yiran's heroic face was filled with disbelief.

Her pride had been smashed to pieces before this terrifying string of talent.

Her gaze drifted uncontrollably toward Su Bai again.

A twelve-year-old Level Thirty-five Spirit Elder...

So he was not only good-looking, but also a true genius.

Seeing the Peerless Dragon Snake looking so stifled, Flender felt immensely pleased, and he continued introducing the rest.

"Zhu Zhuqing, eleven years old, Level Twenty-eight Agility Attack System Soul Grandmaster!"

"Ning Rongrong, eleven years old, Level Twenty-seven Support System Soul Grandmaster!"

"Ma Hongjun, eleven years old, Level Twenty-six Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster!"

When the final names were announced, the forest fell into an eerie silence.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang, husband and wife, had been shocked completely speechless.

One or two geniuses could be called luck.

But this whole group before them were all extraordinarily talented monsters!

This was no longer something luck could explain. It simply defied common sense!

And just as the two sides were locked in confrontation...

Dozens of li away, deep within the mixed zone, a figure stood soundlessly atop a towering ancient tree.

Tang Hao's face was hidden in shadow. He could clearly sense the aura of Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager in the distance.

"Peerless Dragon Snake... fine. The more people there are, the more chaotic the scene becomes, and the easier it is to make a move."
