Lan Minghua, Become Stronger by Taking Disciples

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing, who had absorbed the soul power that Oscar couldn't, also broke through to level thirty.

This was truly a double blessing.

Lan Minghua didn't want to conduct a Soul Hunting for every single disciple; it was too troublesome.

"Master, I succeeded!"

Although Oscar had almost couldn't withstand the impact of the soul ring's power several times, he still managed to hold on with his tenacious willpower and Lan Minghua's help.

Lan Minghua curiously asked, "Oscar, what is your third soul skill?"

Oscar wasn't embarrassed and recited the incantation generously, "I have a Swift Intestine."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sausage with a Swift pattern appeared on his palm.

"Teacher, my third soul skill is incredible. It can grant the person who eats the sausage the flying speed of a thousand-year-old Swift for ten minutes."

Ten minutes of flight time, and at the speed of a Swift.

This speed might have already surpassed that of a level sixty Agility Attack Type Soul Emperor.

One must know that Bai He, the patriarch of the Min Clan, had the Swift as his martial soul.

And Bai He was known as the number one speedster on the Douluo Continent.

From this, one could see how monstrous the Swift's flying speed was.

Lan Minghua was very satisfied with Oscar's third soul skill; at least he now had one more means of self-preservation.

"Alright, I originally wanted to give you guys something after you absorbed your third soul rings. But since Zhuqing is also level thirty now, let's help her obtain her soul ring first."

Lan Minghua brought Oscar and the others back, as they had been out for almost half a day.

As soon as they returned to where Zhao Wuji and the others were, they heard Tang San's exclamation.

"Xiao Wu, it's great that you're alright!"

Hearing this, a hint of amusement appeared on Lan Minghua's lips.

"Interesting. But I wonder what expression she'll have when she finds out Tang San instigated me to kill the Titan Giant Ape!"

"It's great that you're alright, Xiao Wu!"

Dai Mubai and the others stepped forward to examine Xiao Wu, afraid she might have been injured.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So Huazi really didn't lie to me. Xiao Wu really survived the Titan Giant Ape."

Tang San rushed forward, disregarding the difference between male and female, and hugged Xiao Wu directly.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Xiao Wu didn't refuse either; her feelings for Tang San were more than just sibling affection.

Suddenly, she remembered why everyone at Shrek had guessed she would return safely.

"Everyone, how did you guess I would return safely?"

Xiao Wu was confused. Many people knew the strength of the Titan Giant Ape, and she didn't understand why they had guessed she would return safely.

Tang San looked embarrassed, thinking Lan Minghua had tricked him.

No one spoke, and Xiao Wu became even more confused.

Zhao Wuji walked out at this moment and explained, "Huazi said at the Star Dou Great Forest that you wouldn't be in trouble."

"So, you all just assumed I wouldn't be in trouble?"

Xiao Wu was stunned. She hadn't expected that her safety was decided by Lan Minghua's word alone.

Seeing that Lan Minghua hadn't appeared, Tang San's face showed a smug expression.

"How could that be? It's because I used a provocation to make him kill the Titan Giant Ape. Otherwise, no matter what he said, I wouldn't have believed it. And I would have gone to find you regardless of the danger."

Tang San hadn't actually forgotten to look for Xiao Wu; his legs had gone soft, and he couldn't move.

After all, Lan Minghua's strength had shocked him so much that he had completely forgotten Xiao Wu was still in danger.

Moreover, he wasn't stupid. Going alone into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Wu would be no different from seeking death.

Since Lan Minghua said Xiao Wu was fine, Tang San had no choice but to go along with it.

Now that Xiao Wu was safely back, he naturally needed an excuse for not having gone to find her.

Xiao Wu froze, her eyes vacant, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"The, the Titan Giant Ape is dead?"

"Yes, dead." Tang San eagerly interjected, pointing to the pool of mush not far away. "That is the corpse of the Titan Giant Ape, and I played a big part in its death."

Xiao Wu followed Tang San's finger and looked. A thoroughly rotten pool of mush lay on the ground.

Upon returning here, she had a familiar scent, and she hadn't expected the source of the familiar scent to be the corpse of the Titan Giant Ape.

"Er, Er Ming?!"

"Er Ming? Who is Er Ming?" Tang San noticed the fear on Xiao Wu's face and tried to comfort her, "Don't be scared, Xiao Wu. The culprit who captured you is already dead."

Tang San's earnest appearance made anyone unfamiliar think he had killed the Titan Giant Ape himself.

However, Xiao Wu didn't hear a word. Her eyes were fixed on the smear of flesh and blood.

"Er, Er Ming is dead?!"

Xiao San... killed Er Ming?!

No, that's absolutely impossible.

Right, Er Ming's death has nothing to do with Xiao San. It's all Lan Minghua's fault.

He must have deliberately killed Er Ming!

Deep within Xiao Wu's eyes, hatred surged. She shifted all the blame for the Titan Giant Ape's death onto Lan Minghua.

Because, setting aside the facts, she felt Lan Minghua was the true culprit.

At this moment, Lan Minghua returned with Oscar and the others, just in time to overhear Tang San's recent speech.

Lan Minghua greeted Zhao Wuji while observing Xiao Wu's expression.

"Old Zhao, see? I didn't lie to you, did I? You didn't believe me. You owe me a drink when we get back."

"Definitely, definitely. We won't go home until we're drunk!" Zhao Wuji hadn't expected he had judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.

How could a dignified Titled Douluo possibly lay a hand on a twelve-year-old girl?

Lan Minghua nodded. Getting a free meal was quite good, after all.

What he hadn't expected, however, was that Xiao Wu had developed hatred towards him.

That's right, hatred.

But Lan Minghua had already anticipated this.

"She can forgive Tang San for this, but resent me instead. Truly worthy of the 'Love Brain' title."

Lan Minghua chuckled wryly. He had never underestimated the 'Love Brain' of the female leads written by Huang Family's Third Young Master.

Therefore, he wasn't surprised by this.

"Hate me. If you dare to make a move against me or Oscar and the others, whether you succeed or not, I'll take your Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Lan Minghua merely glanced at Xiao Wu before ignoring her.

He continued speaking to Zhao Wuji, "Old Zhao, you take them back first. I'll take Oscar and the others to help Zhuqing obtain her Third Soul Ring."

"Alright. Oscar and the others will be fine with you."

Zhao Wuji responded and led Tang San and the others away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Before leaving, Dai Mubai cast a resentful glance at Zhu Zhuqing.

He hadn't expected that in just a few short days since joining Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power had risen like a rocket, from level twenty-seven to level thirty.

If she continued to improve at this rate, it wouldn't be long before her spirit power surpassed his.

Dai Mubai clenched his fist in resentment as he thought of this.

He had originally thought that Zhu Zhuqing would need his help to change her fate.

But after seeing Lan Minghua's true strength, he realized how ridiculous his idea was.

With such a powerful Master, did she still need to join forces with him to contend against the Star Luo Empire?

However, Zhu Zhuqing ignored Dai Mubai.

She no longer held any hope for the fallen Dai Mubai.

She would face her own destiny alone.

Although Xiao Wu wished she could kill Lan Minghua immediately, she knew it was impossible.
