Tang San's Desperate Fight! Ten-Thousand-Year Skysharp Golden Eagle!

Tang San watched helplessly as Xiao Wu was seized by the Titan Giant Ape. His heart felt as though it were being torn apart. He dropped to his knees in agony, hating his own weakness. Su Sanjia stepped forward and patted Tang San's shoulder, offering a few words of comfort before going to tend to the others.

"Xiao San, you're injured. Have some tofu!"

Oscar came forward and handed Tang San a large amount of Soul Power Tofu. Tang San took it and wolfed it down. The Soul Power within him recovered at an astonishing rate, though his physical injuries would still take time to heal.

"To think we'd run into a Titan Giant Ape... Sigh, no one expected this to happen. If I'd known, I should've used my soul skill and flown everyone away from here."

Oscar muttered quietly. Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up! They held the gleam of a desperate gambler seizing the last sliver of hope!

"X-Xiao Ao, is your third soul skill flight?"

"Uh, yes!"

A sense of foreboding rose in Oscar's heart. Sure enough, in the next moment, Tang San abruptly grabbed his hand.

"Xiao Ao, I'm going to save Xiao Wu. Please, help me!"

"What? Are you crazy? That's a ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape! Even Teacher Zhao can't handle such a terrifying existence! And with your current condition, you..."

Oscar could not continue. He understood Tang San's gaze. It was the resolve to protect someone important at all costs, even at the price of one's life.

"You have to come back alive!"

"Fly Together, True Mushroom!"

A pair of wings had grown strangely from the purple mushroom. Tang San grabbed it and swallowed it without hesitation. Su Sanjia, standing nearby, witnessed everything but did not stop him.

Willing to stake your life for the one you love? Fine, you've got backbone!

The others gradually woke up. Zhao Wuji was the last. The burly man's face was now deathly pale. His Martial Soul Avatar had been broken, and the severe backlash had reduced his strength to less than half. When he looked around and discovered that Xiao Wu was missing from the group, the regret and guilt in his heart became unbearable.

"Damn it, why would a Titan Giant Ape come to the outskirts of the forest?! Everyone, rest where you are for now. Old Lu, Old Li, you two stand guard. I'll take full responsibility for this!"

Zhao Wuji felt terrible. Su Sanjia stepped forward and helped steady him.

"Teacher Zhao, this isn't your fault."

"No. As a teacher, since I brought you all out here, I have to bring you all back! Not one person can be missing!"

Su Sanjia had wanted to offer a few more words of comfort, but Zhao Wuji's attitude was extremely resolute. At the same time, doubts rose in his own heart.

The plot seemed to have changed. Had he, a butterfly from another world, disrupted the original storyline?

Still, Titan Giant Ape, Su remembered what happened today.

Everyone's morale was somewhat low. Just then, Ning Rongrong suddenly cried out in alarm. Following her gaze, everyone saw that a pair of transparent wings had already grown from Tang San's back!

"You brat, what are you trying to do?!"

"Sorry, Teacher Zhao. I have to go find Xiao Wu!"

With the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's speed, even one minute of flight was beyond the reach of the current Shrek group. Zhao Wuji nearly lost his breath in anger.

"Sanjia, you're the fastest. Go after him! In that kid's current condition, even encountering a Thousand-Year Soul Beast would be a life-or-death situation!"

"Oscar, you little bastard! Hurry, make a few more of those mushrooms! If we're going, we go together. If we die, we die together!"

With the help of Oscar's tofu, Su Sanjia had recovered some of his Soul Power. Although he knew the child of destiny could not possibly come to harm, he still quickened his pace. Tang San's actions earlier had earned his respect. No matter what Tang San might become in the future, the Tang San of today was worth Su Sanjia taking seriously.

"Found him!"

After flying for some distance, Su Sanjia keenly noticed the strange state of the trees below, as though they had been smashed apart by something.

"Did he completely disregard the duration of Oscar's soul skill and slam himself straight into the ground? Tang San, you lunatic!"

After confirming the direction, Su Sanjia flew low over the ground, following the trail of footprints. Before long, sounds of battle came from the forest ahead.

Man Faced Demon Spider!

Tang San, in terrible condition, was engaged in a battle to the death with a two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider. What Su Sanjia saw was Tang San taking out the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and delivering the final blow to the creature.

Tang San collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. Su Sanjia stepped forward. Tang San was in an extremely poor state, with barely any stamina or Soul Power left, and he had also been poisoned by the Man Faced Demon Spider's venom.

"Su... Su Sanjia!"

Tang San let out a breath of relief upon seeing Su Sanjia. His condition was truly dreadful, but Xiao Wu was still waiting for him!

"You bastard, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Su Sanjia took out a water skin from his soul tool ring, helped Tang San up, and gave him two mouthfuls of water.

Tang San suddenly gripped Su Sanjia's arm tightly.

"Help me. I want its Soul Ring!"

"Are you sure? Even if my knowledge of Soul Beasts isn't as extensive as yours, I can still tell that this Man Faced Demon Spider is definitely over two thousand years old. If you forcibly absorb it in your current state, it'll be a near-certain death!"

"I'm sure. I need strength!"

Tang San did not hesitate. Su Sanjia fell silent. Absorbing a Soul Ring beyond one's level was extremely dangerous. Su Sanjia had also experienced agony worse than death when absorbing his second Soul Ring, but he had been at peak condition then, with Zhao Wuji guarding him.

"Fine. Since you insist, go ahead and do it!"

Su Sanjia did not try to stop him again. Tang San nodded at him gratefully. Blue Silver Grass appeared in his palm, drawing in that Thousand-Year Soul Ring. He sat down cross-legged with difficulty and began forcibly absorbing the extremely dangerous Soul Ring.

"Sigh, just as expected of the protagonist!"

Su Sanjia sighed. Sure enough, Tang San had still made this choice. That meant his opportunity—the supreme treasure, the Eight Spider Lances—was also as good as his! Su Sanjia did not harbor any crooked thoughts. Tang San had earned his respect and was, for the moment, worthy of being treated as a companion. On the other hand...

"His son is facing such a massive crisis, yet Tang Hao can still keep calm?"

That was right, there was still a Clear Sky Douluo hiding in the shadows!

This Tang Hao was truly ruthless, allowing a twelve-year-old child to face such a life-or-death crisis alone.

As he sighed, Su Sanjia spread out his Observation Haki. Although no other Soul Beasts had come to disturb Tang San while he absorbed this Soul Ring in the original story, things were hard to say now. His arrival had already caused some changes in this world.

Still, he could not be that unlucky, right?

Su Sanjia thought so, but then...

A sharp cry suddenly rang out from the sky!

An immense Soul Power pressure descended from the heavens!

Su Sanjia's mouth twitched. Damn, what he feared had come true. Could it be that he had some kind of cheat ability? Like a crow's mouth?

But Su Sanjia quickly realized something was wrong!

This Soul Power pressure was far too powerful!

He looked up and saw a gigantic bird with a wingspan of eight or nine meters circling in midair. Its pair of sharp golden eyes stared fixedly at the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider below! Its talons were thick and powerful, easily capable of rending flesh, while the golden feathers covering its entire body gave off a strange metallic sheen. It looked as though it were clad in golden armor!

"Hm? A Skysharp Golden Eagle?! And a ten-thousand-year one at that! Why would something like this appear here? No, it was drawn here by the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse!"

Su Sanjia faced it like a great enemy, but then the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curled upward.

"What a terrifying presence... My fourth Soul Ring!"
