Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Wu leapt up, directly hooked her foot around Meng Yiran's neck, and clamped onto her body.

She was about to use her Soft Technique to fling Meng Yiran away.

Meng Yiran snapped to her senses at that very moment, realizing that Xiao Wu locked her down, and the second spirit ring behind her rapidly lit up.

Her body instantly became endlessly soft, flowing like water and effortlessly breaking free from Xiao Wu's restraint.

Xiao Wu was also startled. After she pinned someone with her Soft Technique, someone was actually able to break free. This was already the second time such a thing had happened.

The first time, naturally, was when Jiang Yi pulled her down with formidable strength.

This time, however, Meng Yiran's second spirit skill, Snake Body, countered her Soft Technique completely.

Her body became as soft and slippery as a snake, making it impossible for her Soft Technique to hold on.

Using Snake Body to break free, Meng Yiran immediately launched a counterattack, swinging the two-meter-long serpent cane in her hand fiercely toward Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was an agility attack spirit master after all; although her Soft Technique was useless, her speed remained very high.

She tipped her toes lightly and dodged to the side. Just when she thought she was safe, Meng Yiran wore a cold smile, and the first spirit ring behind her suddenly lit up.

Indeed, on that two-meter-long serpent cane, a two-foot-long tongue blade darted out fiercely from the snake's head, wrapped in a shimmering blue luster and clearly coated with potent poison.

This surprise attack caught Xiao Wu completely off guard before she realized it.

Xiao Wu, hurry and dodge! Tang San, who was watching the battle closely, shouted anxiously.

Xiao Wu opened her eyes wide with wide open eyes, skewing her body with full strength. Ultimately, the flexibility of her body allowed her vital points to narrowly dodge the attack of the tongue blade.

Yet she was still grazed by the tongue blade after all, sending blood spraying out as a residual blue luster lingered on her wound.

Struck by this highly toxic tongue blade, Xiao Wu instantly felt a sensation of paralysis spreading through her whole limbs.

Meng Yiran showed a cold smile. Once poisoned by her, one would first suffer full-body paralysis, which severely impaired bodily reaction speed.

As time kept passing, the poison would surge from her limbs toward her heart, ultimately causing the victim's heart to suffer paralysis and stop beating.

With her current cultivation level and the victim being someone of the same rank, Xiao Wu would die from the poison in five minutes at most.

Meng Yiran raised the serpent cane in her hand and struck toward Xiao Wu.

Because of the paralysis in her limbs, Xiao Wu had no way to dodge her attack.

At this moment, Tang San finally could not hold back any longer, rushing forward in a single bound to block Meng Yiran's serpent cane.

His right palm turned into white jade as he grabbed Meng Yiran's serpent cane.

"Xiao Wu can't move anymore. Why are you still continuing to attack?" Tang San questioned with a cold voice.

Meng Yiran did not tolerate him either, letting out a cold snort directly: "She didn't even admit defeat, why should I stop?"

"That's right. If one doesn't admit defeat in a battle, the fight must continue. Zhao Wuji, what's the meaning of your student suddenly making a move?" Chao Tianxiang questioned with dissatisfaction.

With an ugly expression, Zhao Wuji replied, "We lost this match, and Tang San rushed in rashly just because he was worried about Xiao Wu. Please, senior, do not hold it against him."

"In addition, please have the senior's granddaughter help Xiao Wu neutralize the poison."

Seeing Zhao Wuji lower his posture so much, Chao Tianxiang's original dissatisfaction dissipated somewhat.

Besides, the spirit ring was already in hand, and there was no need to make enemies with a group of such talented spirit masters.

"Yiran, help her detoxify."

Meng Yiran stepped forward to help her detoxify, while Oscar gazed at the phoenix-tail crested serpent with intense resentment; this was supposed to be his spirit ring.

Inside the mixed zone, Jiang Yi was still intently following deep into that tunnel.

He did not know that because of him, another person's spirit ring had been altered.

Advancing for about five thousand meters or so, Jiang Yi slowly halted his steps—not because the tunnel had reached its end.

Rather, it was because he sensed a powerful aura of spirit power.

Moreover, mixed within this aura was a powerful mental wave.

Jiang Yi let out an expression of pleasant surprise because he could confirm that this was the soul beast he was looking for.

Pulling back his spiritual power, a ten-thousand-year spirit attribute soul beast likely possessed spiritual power not weaker than his current level.

Using spiritual power to probe rashly made it very easy for the soul beast to notice.

Jiang Yi slowed his pace, precisely controlling his muscles to reduce the sound and motion of every step he took to the minimum.

Moving forward slowly at this speed, roughly ten minutes later, he arrived at the place he had just sensed.

Jiang Yi lifted his leg abruptly, gathering all his strength in his right leg before stamping down fiercely.

"Boom!" The tunnel beneath his feet collapsed with a roar, and the rocks above came crashing down frantically.

The immense force caused the surrounding tunnels to cave inward entirely as well.

After caving in the tunnel, his right leg continued to step downward carrying formidable power.

And his perception had not been mistaken; beneath his feet, a soul beast truly existed, and it was still in a sleeping state.

Furthermore, this heavy and forceful kick stepped directly onto the body of that soul beast.

"Squeak!" The soul beast let out a screech.

Enduring the pain in its body, the soul beast tried to escape, but how could Jiang Yi give it this chance?

Exerting fierce force with his feet, he lunged forward and delivered another whip kick, striking the soul beast's body viciously.

Two consecutive hits landed, and both were delivered with full strength.

This caused the soul beast's body to cave in directly, leaving it lying on the ground at death's door.

At this moment, Jiang Yi finally had time to see the appearance of this soul beast clearly.

The soul beast was covered all over in purple fur with extremely short forelimbs that scarcely had the capability to support its body, and its facial features resembled those of a wolf somewhat.

"Purple Spirit Wolf." Jiang Yi showed a pleased expression.

Judging from the body length of this purple spirit wolf, it had clearly reached the ten-thousand-year tier, making it exceptionally suited for him.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Yi grabbed the dying purple spirit wolf and sprinted toward the outer zone at top speed.

That kick earlier had collapsed a portion of the tunnel previously dug out by the burrowing rat.

Such a massive commotion was very likely to attract other soul beasts, so returning to the outer zone to absorb it was a better choice.

Moving at Jiang Yi's speed, he quickly crossed the distance of five thousand meters and returned to the outer zone once more.

Jiang Yi found a safe area, and without the slightest hesitation, he ended the life of the dying purple spirit wolf.

Upon its death, the purple spirit wolf stared fixedly at Jiang Yi with a resentful gaze.

After all, it had been subjected to a sneak attack by Jiang Yi while it was sleeping; how could it accept such a stifling death?

Ignoring its hatred, Jiang Yi sat cross-legged on the ground and directly began to absorb the black spirit ring produced from its body.

A rich black light enveloped his sturdy body, which naturally suffered no adverse effects whatsoever.
