King of the Forest, Titan Giant Ape

Let's look at the Shrek Seven Devils besides Tang San. Before enrolling, what was their Soul Power level, and how fast did they cultivate?

After Yu Xiaogang arrived, how many levels did they gain in two years?

If they hadn't eaten Immortal Herbs, the speed at which the Shrek Seven Devils' Soul Power increased over those two years could simply be described as "trash," completely hindering their inherent high talent.

Later, after the Shrek Seven Devils graduated, without Yu Xiaogang, they were almost all around the Soul Ancestor level. In five years, each of them advanced over ten levels, with the monstrous ones advancing 18 or 19 levels.

This shows how poor Yu Xiaogang's teaching ability was; he was completely misleading his disciples!

Therefore, Ye Wen didn't want Tang San to leave Yu Xiaogang's side at all. He should just stay honestly with Yu Xiaogang.

Threaten Tang San, coerce Tang Hao to appear?

Killing Tang Hao was just a matter of time; Ye Wen would have plenty of opportunities later. He wouldn't resort to such despicable means.

"Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, let's go." Ye Wen retracted his power and also prepared to leave.

"Yes, Boss."

The three of them left Nuoding City just like that, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Severely injured, Tang Hao fled to the vicinity of Shrek Academy. He hesitated whether to take Tang San away, but after carefully recalling Ye Wen's words when he left, the other party shouldn't really hurt Tang San, right?

From Tang Hao's perspective, after all, they didn't have any deep-seated hatred!

It was just because Tang San was beaten by Ye Wen in his human form, and Tang Hao wanted to fight Ye Wen, but he himself was beaten by Ye Wen in his semi-human form.

That was all there was to it.

Moreover, Tang Hao didn't want to keep Tang San by his side now. After some consideration, he decided to secretly protect Tang San at all times for a while.

A few days later, the three students who beat Tang San no longer returned to Nuoding Academy, and the terrifying expert who brutally beat Tang Hao also disappeared. Tang Hao finally felt a lot more at ease.

This incident taught Tang Hao a profound lesson; he even had some psychological trauma and was now afraid to casually go out and beat people anymore.

A few days also allowed Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai to arrive near the Star Dou Great Forest.

The three stood at a high vantage point, gazing at the incredibly vast forest before them from afar, all slightly amazed. It was too large, so large that it had no edges, seemingly boundless.

As Sea Soul Beasts, they had never seen such a large forest.

Evil Tiger said excitedly, "Boss, I'm suddenly a little excited."

Xiao Bai said, "Me too. I want to see how many land soul beasts I haven't encountered here."

There were actually many scattered islands in the sea. The islands varied in size, but none were too large. For example, when the Shrek Seven Devils first went to Sea God Island, they were attacked by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, fell into the sea, and eventually drifted to a place called Pearl Island.

And among these scattered islands, there were some that contained land soul beasts, but not many species.

"I'm quite looking forward to it too." Ye Wen smiled. Although he knew of the Star Dou Great Forest, this was his first time personally experiencing a journey there.

"Let's go."

"Okay."

The three officially stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest, heading straight for their destination, the core area, the Lake of Life.

"Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, even at our Semi-human Form speed, it will take several days to reach the Lake of Life. So, we'll take turns switching to our Semi-human Form to advance now," Ye Wen said.

"Alright, I'll go first then," Xiao Bai said, switching to his Semi-human Form.

Then, carrying one person on each arm, he quickly rushed deeper into the forest with Ye Wen and Evil Tiger.

Currently, Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai were only in their teens in their human forms. In a dangerous place like the Star Dou Great Forest, they could be killed by Soul Beasts even if they just reached the inner regions.

Sometimes, Soul Beasts would appear suddenly, and you wouldn't even have time to switch forms.

Moreover, the time limit for Semi-human Form wasn't reset by switching back and forth between human and Semi-human forms; there was a cooldown period.

Therefore, they had to take turns maintaining the Semi-human Form, ensuring their safety along the way.

Through this rotating method, the three of them, Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai, drew closer and closer to the Lake of Life.

A few days later, they finally arrived near the Lake of Life.

The Titan Giant Ape, who was lying on the ground by the Lake of Life, enjoying the shade, seemed to sense something and immediately stood up, contacting the Sky Azure Bull Python beneath the lake: "Big Brother! It seems a powerful existence is heading this way!"

"Hm!? Is it human?"

"They're here!"

Whoosh!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai had all switched to their Semi-human Forms and landed from above, settling steadily less than two hundred meters away from the Titan Giant Ape.

"Whoa, so this is the Titan Giant Ape! It looks quite imposing," Ye Wen said, standing in the middle with a faint smile on his lips as he observed the large ape not far away.

It looked like a combination of an ape and a gorilla, with every part of its body covered in powerful muscles even more formidable than granite. Its height was over 15 meters, not reaching 20 meters.

It possessed unparalleled strength, speed, and physical toughness, appearing very formidable, its strength surpassing Xiao Bai's.

"Is it human?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python hid in the lake and did not show itself, communicating with Er Ming through mental power.

Er Ming carefully observed Ye Wen and the other two. They looked human, but were somewhat different from ordinary humans. It couldn't quite figure it out: "They don't seem to be ordinary humans."

"Is that so? Er Ming, drive them away!"

"Get out of here!!!"

The Titan Giant Ape roared loudly at Ye Wen and the other two. Its terrifying Aura made both Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai feel wary.

"Is this a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the continent? The Titan Giant Ape's strength seems far superior to mine." Xiao Bai's expression was solemn.

Let alone Xiao Bai, even Evil Tiger wasn't confident it could defeat the Titan Giant Ape.

"Titan Giant Ape, we didn't come here just to take a stroll and leave."

"Is that so? Then what do you want to do!" The Titan Giant Ape's killing intent flared.

"Don't worry, we are not here to hunt you, nor do we want to obtain your Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast." Ye Wen cut to the chase: "We have come here to tell you that from now on, the Lake of Life will be my territory!"

"And you will become my loyal subordinates."

The Titan Giant Ape was stunned. Humans often wanted to hunt them, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and obtain their hundred-thousand-year soul rings, but this was the first time it had heard of someone wanting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts as underlings.

But regardless of the reason, the Titan Giant Ape would not give them a good look: "I'll give you ten seconds to get out of here!!"

"Otherwise, you will bear the wrath of the King of the Forest!"

"King of the Forest? Hahahaha!" Ye Wen burst into laughter, shaking his head speechlessly: "I thought the King of the Forest was a title defined by humans for you, but you actually consider yourself the King of the Forest?"
