A Ten-Level Instant Boost, the Dragon and Snake Duo Come to Settle Scores

Meng Yiran's voice was loud, but unfortunately, not a single person around her responded.

"No, this doesn't seem to be the one we were hunting."

"This one is too small."

Meng Shu used his Dragon Head Cane to poke at the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider twice.

"But looking at the wounds, it does resemble the previous one. It's truly strange."

"Keep looking!"

As for Ye Lin, she had long since retreated far away.

She rested under a tree, catching her breath.

A light sound of footsteps suddenly reached her ears.

"Who's there!"

Ye Lin gripped her Immortal Sword and slashed toward the direction the sound came from.

When she saw that figure, the Immortal Sword in her hand loosened and dissipated into spirit power, and she quickly pulled the person into an embrace.

"Xiao Wu, thank goodness you're alright. You scared me to death."

"Sister Lin!"

Xiao Wu hugged Ye Lin back. "I'm fine."

Following closely behind were a series of hurried footsteps, and the figures of Zhao Wuji and the others quickly appeared.

When they saw Ye Lin and the other girl, Zhao Wuji felt a weight lift from his heart.

Dai Mubai said with some pleasant surprise, "Ye Lin, you found Xiao Wu?"

"I was just resting when Xiao Wu suddenly appeared."

Ye Lin gave a bitter smile; she naturally knew that Xiao Wu had been brought back by the Titan Giant Ape.

Zhao Wuji asked with some confusion, "Xiao Wu, how did you escape from the hands of the Titan Giant Ape?"

A look of fear appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.

"The Titan Giant Ape hadn't carried me far when it suddenly heard the sound of a bull's roar. The Titan Giant Ape seemed very panicked; it dropped me and ran away. It let out a roar, and then I fainted."

"When I woke up, I discovered that several spirit beasts nearby had been stunned, and I happened to have broken through to level thirty. I just happened to find a spirit beast suitable for me, and after absorbing the Spirit Ring, I quickly rushed back according to my memory."

Zhao Wuji nodded. "It's good that you're back."

"Do you know? After you were snatched away, Ye Lin was extremely panicked. She asked Oscar for a Flying Mushroom Sausage and chased after you."

Dai Mubai kicked Tang San. "And this guy, he deserted in the face of battle. If he had been there, he could have completely used Bind to save you."

Tang San was kicked and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Dai Mubai, what are you kicking me for!"

He shouted sharply.

"Don't just talk about Dai, I want to kick you too!"

Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes at Tang San. "Deserting in the face of battle and abandoning your teammate—if this were on a battlefield, you'd already be dead!"

Tang San was instantly speechless and stood up silently.

He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, you two just wait!

Once my foster father arrives, I won't let you off!

Xiao Wu looked at Ye Lin with some guilt. "I'm sorry, Sister Lin, for making you worry."

"It's fine, as long as you're back. Besides, you had a breakthrough, didn't you?"

Ye Lin let go of Xiao Wu and said with a smile, "I also had a breakthrough."

"Just a moment ago, I also found a spirit beast suitable for me and obtained my second Spirit Ring."

Two yellow Spirit Rings slowly appeared beneath her.

"Are you two really that lucky?"

Ma Hongjun widened his eyes as he looked at the two of them. "I'm truly envious."

"I suppose it's a blessing in disguise,"

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily. "It seems our training this time has come to a perfect conclusion."

Ye Lin shook her head. "Teacher Zhao, it seems it hasn't."

Zhao Wuji was puzzled. "How so?"

"I'm level thirty."

In an instant, everyone else present widened their eyes.

"You're level thirty!"

"How is this possible? A ten-level increase all at once!"

Ye Lin said slowly, "This is within my expectations. Although I haven't obtained my second Spirit Ring, my cultivation has never stopped."

"The spirit power gained from cultivation has been stored up. Once I broke through, the accumulated spirit power was released, bringing me to level thirty."

Several people fell into deep thought.

"Is that so?"

"However, my suggestion is to head back first."

Zhao Wuji pondered for a moment. "After I released my Avatar of the Martial Soul, all my attributes dropped by fifty percent, and I cannot provide effective protection. Let's return first, and after we get back, I will have the Dean come with you personally."

"Alright!"

Ye Lin did not refuse and agreed, "Then I will listen to Teacher Zhao."

It just so happened that she also needed to go back and accumulate a wave of modification points so that she could make her third Spirit Ring even more powerful.

"Let's go, back we go!"

"Wait a moment!"

Before the group could turn to leave, a voice reached their ears.

Three figures flew out rapidly from the side; it was the Dragon and Snake Duo couple along with Meng Yiran.

"It's you?"

Zhao Wuji was somewhat dismissive. A mere Spirit Emperor was someone he could easily crush, even with his attributes reduced by fifty percent.

But when he saw the eight Spirit Rings on Meng Shu—two yellow, three purple, and two black—his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A Spirit Douluo!

Never mind that his attributes were currently reduced by fifty percent; even if they were increased by fifty percent, he might not be a match for him!

What was going on this time? In the outer perimeter, they had encountered a Titan Giant Ape, and now they had encountered a Spirit Douluo!

When Xiao Wu saw Meng Shu's eight Spirit Rings, she felt extremely panicked, hiding behind Ye Lin and trembling incessantly.

How could a Spirit Douluo appear here!

A powerful Spirit Douluo would be able to see through her identity as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Ye Lin knew what she was afraid of and shielded her firmly behind her back.

"I wonder what the Spirit Douluo intends to do by calling us to a halt?"

Zhao Wuji tried his best to remain calm.

Upon seeing the group, Chao Tianxiang quickly whispered a few words into Meng Shu's ear.

Meng Shu swept a cold glance over them but did not flare up, merely asking indifferently, "I wonder if you have seen a Man Faced Demon Spider?"

"A Man Faced Demon Spider?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head. "We have not seen it."

Meng Shu's sharp eyes swept over the others, trying to discern something, but in the end, he found nothing; the group did not look like they had seen a Man Faced Demon Spider at all.

"Then it seems it did not run in this direction."

Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to lead the group away. "Then we shall take our leave; may the Spirit Douluo senior continue his search."

Just as he turned his body, Meng Shu's voice rang out once again.

"Wait!"

Zhao Wuji was miserable, but he still forced a smile. As the dignified Immovable Bright King, when had he ever suffered such grievances?

"Spirit Douluo, is there anything else?"

Meng Shu glanced at Oscar and said coldly, "That Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was snatched by you, wasn't it?"

"How should we settle the matter of you snatching my granddaughter's Spirit Beast?"
