Lan Minghua: Become Stronger by Taking Disciples

"No, I need to leave the team quickly and find a way to conceal my Soul Beast aura."

Just then, Zhao Wuji said coldly, "No need for suspicion, everyone. Search for suitable Soul Beasts for Xiao Ao in the outer area. Remember, don't let me see anyone making any sly moves behind my back!"

Although Tang San felt targeted, he didn't say anything.

The Star Dou Great Forest was fraught with danger, and Zhao Wuji was the only person he could rely on.

"Hiss!!!"

After they ventured further in, the ground vibrated once more.

The next moment, a shadowy figure the size of a small mountain pushed aside ancient trees, towering over Zhao Wuji and his group.

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief.

"The King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape? How could it be in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest?!"

"Don't look back, run!!!"

Although Zhao Wuji was afraid, as a teacher, he chose to let his students escape first.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun didn't hesitate for a moment upon hearing this, fleeing into the distance without looking back.

Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, but Zhao Wuji's roar came again.

"Hurry up and run, don't mind me!"

Hearing this, Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing quickly fled.

The instant Tang San spotted the Titan Giant Ape, he was the first to dash out with Xiao Wu.

However, Ning Rongrong was a Support Soul Master, and her speed was already the slowest among them.

Facing the Titan Giant Ape, she was so terrified she couldn't speak and fell to the ground.

The others had no time to worry about her, each fleeing for their lives.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji gave a wry smile, "Alas, Flender, you scoundrel have gotten me into deep trouble!"

If he had only brought Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing for Soul Hunting, Ning Rongrong's situation would likely not have occurred.

But as a teacher, he wouldn't abandon Ning Rongrong.

"I'll risk it all, Martial Soul True Body!"

Instantly, a Great Strength Vajra Bear appeared before the Titan Giant Ape, its massive form blocking the ape's path.

Ning Rongrong, accustomed to a life of luxury, always faltered in moments of life and death. She still hadn't gotten up.

However, the Titan Giant Ape was not in the mood to continue arguing with Zhao Wuji.

With just one punch, it sent Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul True Body flying back over a hundred meters.

Ignoring Ning Rongrong beneath its eyes, it charged towards Xiao Wu's location.

Tang San, who was fleeing with Xiao Wu, felt his pupils constrict. "Why, why is this Titan Giant Ape chasing me instead of Oscar and the others!"

Xiao Wu didn't know what Tang San was thinking. Instead, she kept feeding information to the Titan Giant Ape, urging it to capture her quickly.

"Roar!!!"

The Titan Giant Ape leaped into the air. Its mountain-like physique was surprisingly agile.

Even with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track used to its extreme, Tang San couldn't widen the distance.

Xiao Wu signaled with her eyes: "Second Brother, don't hurt Xiao San. Just take me away, don't linger here."

The Titan Giant Ape nodded imperceptibly and smashed down ferociously, shattering the ground.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had no power to resist and were both thrown into the air.

The Titan Giant Ape's target was clear. It grabbed Xiao Wu and, without looking back, galloped towards the depths of the forest.

An outsider might have thought the Titan Giant Ape was here to steal a bride.

"Xiao Wu!!!"

Tang San's eyes were about to split. He wanted to save Xiao Wu but was knocked to the ground by the gale force wind generated by the Titan Giant Ape's charge.

Seeing this, the Titan Giant Ape actually showed a hint of disdain, like a human.

"How can such a weakling protect Sister Xiao Wu!"

The Titan Giant Ape was incredibly fast, disappearing from sight in just a few breaths.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji appeared, carrying Ning Rongrong. He looked at the mess on the ground and asked, "What happened? Is anyone injured!"

Oscar and the others, seeing that the commotion had subsided, returned to Zhao Wuji's side.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, they were safest only when they stayed by Zhao Wuji's side.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, my Xiao Wu!"

Seeing Tang San's state, everyone understood that Xiao Wu had likely fallen victim to the Titan Giant Ape.

"No, I have to save Xiao Wu." With that, Tang San rushed towards the direction the Titan Giant Ape had left.

However, with his strength as a level twenty-nine Soul Grand Master, how could he possibly be a match for the Titan Giant Ape.

Even if they found it, wouldn't it just be sending themselves to their deaths?

Zhao Wuji was already annoyed, and now Tang San was adding to the chaos. He struck Tang San with a palm and knocked him unconscious.

"Rest here!"

Xiao Wu was in critical condition, but their strength was limited. They wanted to help but were powerless.

Everyone's faces were grim. Even if their relationships weren't great, Xiao Wu was still a student of Shrek.

Zhao Wuji was like an ant on a hot pan. "Why hasn't Huazi shown up yet? Doesn't he know the Titan Giant Ape appeared in the outer area?"

Lan Minghua not only knew, but he knew even earlier than them.

However, it was someone else's family matter, and he didn't want to get involved.

The Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu weren't stupid; they didn't dare to harm the people of Shrek.

They both knew Lan Minghua was in the Star Dou Great Forest, and harming others would only bring trouble upon themselves.

After a while, Zhao Wuji sensed something else rapidly approaching them.

"Something else is coming. If the situation is bad, escape immediately!"

The Shrek group was now like birds startled by a bow.

After all, they had just faced the King of the Forest of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape. It would be strange not to be scared.

However, this time, it wasn't a powerful Soul Beast, but a snake-like Soul Beast with a vibrant red crest on its head.

"That's a Crested Phoenix Tail Snake!"

It was truly a case of finding something without even looking.

Zhao Wuji had been wondering whether to find a different place for Oscar to get his Third Soul Ring. Now, a Crested Phoenix Tail Snake had delivered itself right to them.

Furthermore, upon seeing its size, he realized it was over a thousand years old, perfect for a Third Soul Ring.

"It's a Crested Phoenix Tail Snake. Xiao Ao, you're quite lucky."

Zhao Wuji didn't let Oscar and the others attack, to avoid wasting time.

He swatted the charging Crested Phoenix Tail Snake on the head, leaving it half-dead.

"Xiao Ao, finish it off and absorb the Crested Phoenix Tail Snake's Soul Ring as your Third Soul Ring."

Zhao Wuji had forgotten Lan Minghua's instructions due to the incident.

However, Oscar was unaware that Lan Minghua had met them yesterday, so he still considered the Crested Phoenix Tail Snake his first choice for a Soul Ring.

Just as Oscar was about to kill the Crested Phoenix Tail Snake, three figures suddenly chased after them.

"Young friend, wait a moment!"

An aged voice roared out. Oscar's body stiffened, forced to stop.

"Who is it!" Zhao Wuji blocked in front of Oscar, his gaze fixed on the three figures before them.

The three figures appeared: an old man, a woman, and a girl over ten years old.

Seeing the old man's dragon head crutch and the woman's snake head crutch, Zhao Wuji immediately recognized them.

"Peerless Dragon Snake?!"

The old man's name was Meng Shu, nicknamed Dragon Duke.

The woman's name was Chao Tianxiang, nicknamed Snake Matriarch.

As for the young girl, she was the granddaughter of the Peerless Dragon Snake, Meng Yiran.

"Hoh, I didn't expect this Soul Saint to know this old man too."

Dragon Duke spoke calmly, not surprised that someone recognized him.

After all, the couple had long been a well-known combination in the Soul Master world.
