Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison? Nothing More Than That-One Strike Will Destroy It!

"Ah, so it's Dragon Duke Meng Shu. I've long admired you! Long admired you!"

Zhao Wuji instantly recognized him. His attitude was nothing like before; now, he was incomparably respectful, his face full of smiles.

"Cut the act!"

"Zhao Wuji, while I was away, you relied on your higher cultivation to steal my granddaughter's Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. We ought to settle this debt properly!"

Meng Shu had no interest in exchanging empty pleasantries with Zhao Wuji.

If Chao Tianxiang had not been strong enough to take Meng Yiran and escape, he believed that Zhao Wuji, this Demon King of Chaos, would not have let Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran go so easily.

That was simply how this world worked.

The weak were prey to the strong.

"A misunderstanding! It was all a misunderstanding!"

"Sister Chao, the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's ownership was to be decided by the younger generation's match. You agreed to that before! You can't go back on your word now!"

Zhao Wuji said anxiously.

If Meng Shu attacked them now, they would all die here.

"Hmph!"

Chao Tianxiang snorted unhappily and asked calmly, "Have you seen an injured Man Faced Demon Spider?"

Zhao Wuji froze, then hurriedly said, "No."

Meng Shu swept his gaze over everyone present, including Ji Bai, and asked calmly, "Yiran, who was the one who defeated you earlier?"

Tang San stepped forward and cupped his hands. "That would be me."

"Please, seniors, let us speak aside," Zhao Wuji quickly said.

"What do you wish to say?" Meng Shu raised an eyebrow.

"This way, please." Zhao Wuji gave an awkward smile and led them over twenty meters away from the others.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang were not afraid that Zhao Wuji would try anything. They flashed after him.

Not long after, the couple returned, their eyes filled with wariness as they stared at Tang San.

Just as they were preparing to leave with Meng Yiran, she challenged Tang San again.

Ji Bai watched the scene with an amused smile.

Meng Yiran was fiercely competitive, Tang San loved to gamble, and with Ma Hongjun and Oscar adding fuel to the fire from the side, another contest of throwing flying knives began.

Before long, the winner was decided.

In the end, the dispute concluded with Meng Yiran kissing Tang San.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang left with Meng Yiran. Before she left, Tang San gave Meng Yiran a set of Hidden Weapons.

"Tsk, tsk!"

"Tang San, shouldn't you be thanking me? Without me, how could you have taken advantage of such a beautiful woman?" Oscar said with a lewd grin, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Enough!"

Zhao Wuji said gravely, "This time, we escaped danger without disaster. We need to leave this area quickly."

"As for your third Soul Ring, Tang San..."

His expression turned solemn as he said:

"It would be better to search for it after some time. I'm worried that the Titan Giant Ape might appear again. If that happens... we won't be so lucky next time!"

"This time, perhaps the Titan Giant Ape was full and had no interest in us, which was why it didn't kill us. But next time, who knows?"

As soon as he said that, everyone's expressions changed.

Tang San sighed inwardly, but he knew Zhao Wuji was right. He could not put everyone in danger for the sake of his third Soul Ring.

"Right!"

"Xiao Wu, how did you escape from the Titan Giant Ape?"

Tang San asked in surprise.

Having gone through this once already, Xiao Wu explained without blushing or hesitation, "The Titan Giant Ape heard a bull's roar and suddenly put me down before fleeing in panic. Then I followed the original route back. I didn't expect to run into Brother Bai here, and after that, things turned out as they are now."

"Uh..." Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.

The next afternoon, on the country path leading to Shrek Academy, Ji Bai stopped at a fork in the road and said, "Teacher Zhao, everyone, I think we should part ways here."

The moment he said that, everyone stared at him blankly, their expressions gradually changing in different ways.

Zhao Wuji asked, "Xiaobai, are you leaving?"

Ji Bai nodded slightly and smiled. "There is no feast that lasts forever. I have to say, this journey was quite exciting. I'll remember it well."

Zhao Wuji smiled. "I say you should just stay. With you around, these brats could have someone to look up to."

Ji Bai did not respond to Zhao Wuji's words. He glanced at the three girls who had been surrounding him, then suddenly turned around and prepared to leave.

Xiao Wu suddenly asked, "Brother Ji, when will we see each other again?"

Ji Bai turned slightly to the side and said, "When spring arrives and the flowers bloom next year, we shall meet again."

Ning Rongrong suddenly stepped forward, rose onto her tiptoes, and kissed Ji Bai on his left cheek.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Wu kissed Ji Bai on his right cheek.

Zhu Zhuqing felt that if she did nothing, she would definitely regret it in the future.

Then, beneath countless shocked gazes and Dai Mubai's disbelieving stare, she kissed Ji Bai on the lips. When she pulled away, she even licked the corner of her mouth.

"What kind of behavior is that? Are you three hooligans?" Ji Bai retreated again and again, shaking his head with a sigh. "I've suffered such a huge loss!"

"Being kissed by three beautiful women like us is your good fortune!" Ning Rongrong said with a light snort.

Ji Bai rolled his eyes. "There are plenty of beauties at our Blazing Academy. Next time we meet, I'll let you see Blazing Academy's number one beauty."

As soon as he finished speaking, his Phoenix Wings unfurled and carried him into the sky.

"Zhu Zhuqing!!!"

The instant Ji Bai left, Dai Mubai roared in fury, his eyes seemingly ready to kill.

"What?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai calmly, her tone equally calm.

"How dare you!?"

Dai Mubai panted like a bull.

"If you can do it, why can't I?"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was full of both disdain and contempt.

"What's going on?"

Everyone present was filled with confusion.

"What are you doing?!"

"What do you think you're doing?"

Zhao Wuji stepped between them, his expression icy, as though he wanted to beat both of them up.

Zhu Zhuqing brushed past Dai Mubai with an indifferent expression and headed toward Shrek Academy.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong followed beside her.

"Everyone, go back!"

Zhao Wuji gave the order as well.

The others did not dare delay. Ma Hongjun tugged at Dai Mubai, but Dai Mubai yanked his sleeve away, his expression cold, just like Zhu Zhuqing had been before.

Ma Hongjun's friendly gesture was met with hostility, and he was rather unhappy as well. He no longer bothered with Dai Mubai.

In the end.

Dai Mubai followed behind the group alone.

His reddened eyes remained fixed on Zhu Zhuqing, who was walking in the middle of the group.

After two days of travel, Ji Bai arrived within the Silves Kingdom. He came to its capital, Sylvis City, to rest for a while, staying at the finest hotel, enjoying the best banquet, and earning some spending money at the Sylvis Grand Soul Fighting Arena.

"Yanzi, this is your opponent for this Soul Fighting Tournament."

Inside a private room, Qin Ming handed Dugu Yan the information sheet on Ji Bai that he had obtained from the Soul Fighting Arena.

Dugu Yan accepted the sheet helplessly and sighed. "Teacher Qin, no Soul Elder can withstand my third soul skill. Is there really any need to be so cautious?"

Qin Ming frowned.

Dugu Yan said nothing further and began reading it carefully.

"Tianheng, these are your opponents. Study them carefully. Do not underestimate them."

Qin Ming then handed five information sheets to Yu Tianheng and the other battle Soul Masters, excluding the support Soul Master Ye Lingling.

"Ji Bai? Is that this person's real name?"

"Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix. Soul Power: Rank 37?"

"Interesting!"

"I hope this opponent lets me have some fun!"

Dugu Yan smiled playfully.

"Don't be careless!"

Qin Ming reminded her gravely.

In the private room next door.

Ji Bai quietly waited for the Soul Fighting Tournament to begin.

He had wagered all his possessions. His opponents seemed quite formidable, and the odds had been rising steadily. If he won, he would receive ten times his stake.

His opponents' collateral would all become his.

A waiter knocked on the door, and a voice sounded. "Mr. Ji, your Gambling Fight is about to begin."

Ji Bai stood and walked outside.

The instant he stepped out, he saw a graceful woman dressed in purple.

Five other people stood beside her.

Among them, a handsome man in blue stood very close to the woman in purple.

The two were clearly a couple.

When he entered the same contestant passage as the woman in purple, Ji Bai realized that she was actually his opponent and subconsciously glanced at her.

A handsome young man dressed in white smiled mockingly. "Kid, running into Sister Yan means you're out of luck!"

Ji Bai looked at him and said contemptuously, "Talk less trash before the match. Otherwise, losing will be very embarrassing, and I never spare anyone's pride!"

After saying that, Ji Bai walked straight toward the Soul Fighting Platform.

However, his words only drew everyone's scorn.

Before long, on the Soul Fighting Platform.

As the referee announced the start of the Soul Fighting Tournament, both sides released their Martial Souls. When Ji Bai saw the purple-clad woman's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, he suddenly understood.

No wonder she was so confident!

But... a mere Jade Phosphorous Serpent was nothing more than a little spicy snack after his meal!
