Pulling Rank on Age

After finishing, Tang Yu began looking around. He pushed his Purple Demon Eye to its limits, then leaped onto a tree. The place where Tang Yu was waiting lay along the only route into Star Dou Forest, so Tang San and the others had to be nearby.

Tang Yu looked around and spotted a group of people. They were a little too far away for him to make out much, but it seemed they were fighting something.

Third Soul Skill: Thunderous Might.

Tang Yu leaped into the air and spun around. Lightning coiled around him, suspending him in midair, and he sped at full force toward the figures he had seen.

The people Tang Yu spotted were Tang San and the others. They were just about to take on the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent when Tang Xiaomi suddenly gave a cold snort, and the serpent dropped straight out of the sky.

Everyone wondered what had happened to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. Tang San didn't stop to think about it; he immediately used Bind to tie it up.

Tang San looked at Oscar. "Xiao Ao, hurry and kill this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent before anything else happens."

Xiao Ao nodded, took a dagger, and went over to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. Just as he was about to strike, an old woman's voice rang out. "Stop!"

Everyone looked toward the voice and saw a hunched old woman leaning on a cane, accompanied by a girl wearing rather revealing clothes.

Seeing the old woman's appearance, Zhao Wuji thought of someone and asked, "Who are you, madam? Why are you stopping us from hunting this Soul Beast?"

"I'm Snake Granny. I stopped you because we were hunting this Soul Beast first. I ask that you let us have it." Snake Granny looked at Zhao Wuji as she spoke.

"Senior Snake Granny, the Soul Beasts in Star Dou Forest belong to no one. Whoever captures one gets to keep it. I'm sorry, but one of the children here needs this Soul Beast," Zhao Wuji said.

Snake Granny looked at Tang San and the others in disbelief. "You're saying one of your people has reached level thirty too? In that case, let's follow the rules of the Soul Master World and have those two children compete."

Zhao Wuji replied with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that won't work, Senior Snake Granny. The one who's reached level thirty is this child, and he's a Food System Spirit Master."

"Food System? How is that possible?" Snake Granny exclaimed.

"But that's the truth." Zhao Wuji waved his hand.

Tang San stepped forward. "How about this? My Soul Power is level twenty-nine. I'll fight her in Xiao Ao's place."

Snake Granny gave a small nod. "All right."

As soon as Snake Granny finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the sky. "All right, my ass! What's it to you what happens to the Soul Beast we caught?"

As he spoke, Tang Yu dropped from the sky and landed in front of Snake Granny. Hearing his words, she snapped furiously, "You little brat, are you looking to die?"

Tang Yu glanced at Snake Granny with disdain. "You're only a Spirit King. What are you acting so high and mighty for? Teacher Zhao, get her!"

The veins on Snake Granny's hands bulged with anger.

Zhao Wuji came over to Tang Yu and whispered helplessly, "Don't go looking for trouble, you brat. She'd be easy enough to deal with, but her husband is a Soul Douluo. The two of them can unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with power comparable to a Titled Douluo's!"

"Who cares? She's just an old geezer throwing her weight around because of her age. We caught the Soul Beast, so why should we have to fight her to decide who gets it?" Tang Yu said scornfully.
