Battle with Er Ming

Zhu Zhuqing was caught off guard by Yu Xiaofeng's sudden embrace and froze on the spot, unsure whether she should return the hug or not.

Yu Xiaofeng stroked Zhu Zhuqing's hair and said, "Silly girl, did she bully you? Watch me stand up for you."

Yu Xiaofeng released her and turned to face Snake Grandma Chao Tianxiang, leaving behind a flushed Zhu Zhuqing. Dai Mubai, standing nearby, had already gone numb. He had to admit that when it came to pursuing Zhu Zhuqing, he truly could not compare to Yu Xiaofeng.

After all, Yu Xiaofeng surpassed him in every way, so he chose to love Zhu Zhuqing silently.

(In other words, a secret crush... unrequited love... Damn it, I've had a secret crush before too... sigh...)

At that moment, the young woman, having exhausted too much Soul Power in their previous clash, suddenly fainted.

Chao Tianxiang swiftly caught her granddaughter in her arms and used Soul Power to help her recover.

With Oscar's help, Tang San also sat cross-legged nearby to restore his Soul Power.

Chao Tianxiang rose with a gloomy expression and said to Zhao Wuji, "Immovable Wisdom King, this old woman will remember what happened today. We shall meet again."

The young woman looked at Yu Xiaofeng and called out to Chao Tianxiang, "Grandma..."

Chao Tianxiang soothed the young woman, saying they would discuss it after finding Dragon Duke.

Oscar absorbed his Soul Ring smoothly, but the moment he said, "I want to fly, Flying Mushroom Sausage," everyone burst into laughter.

Yu Xiaofeng laughed until tears ran down his face. But when Oscar swallowed the Mushroom Sausage and soared into the sky, everyone's faces filled with shock. The next moment, the whole group cried out in envy, "Oscar, this... this is a sausage that can fly?"

Oscar snorted and flew a circle around them. "Well? Not bad, right? That's what you get for laughing at me just now."

Just as everyone was marveling at Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage, Tang San suddenly said, "Teacher Zhao, I'm afraid we can't return to the academy yet."

Zhao Wuji asked in confusion, "Why?"

Tang San said awkwardly, "Because I've broken through to level thirty."

"What?"

Everyone cried out and hurriedly congratulated him.

Only Yu Xiaofeng sensed that something was wrong, because Tang San reaching level thirty meant that Er Ming was about to appear.

Night fell. After searching for several hours, they still had not found the Soul Ring Tang San needed. While everyone rested and chatted, Zhao Wuji suddenly leaped up and landed, releasing his Soul Power at full force as he warned, "No matter what happens in a moment, don't worry about me. Run out of the forest with all your strength. Xiaofeng, take care of everyone."

A light breeze drifted past, and a chill slowly spread from all around. Heavy footsteps thudded against everyone's hearts. Every face was taut, their nerves stretched to the limit.

"Suddenly,"

A terrifyingly enormous figure blocked everyone's view. When they saw the Titan Giant Ape, expressions of despair and horror appeared on every face.

Of course, only Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaofeng remained unconcerned. Xiao Wu knew the Titan Giant Ape, while Yu Xiaofeng knew the history. At that moment, he was merely amazed by the Titan Giant Ape's height and powerful physique.

As the Titan Giant Ape spoke with Zhao Wuji, the atmosphere suddenly turned explosive. Yu Xiaofeng was too far away to hear clearly, but the Titan Giant Ape suddenly let out a roar and pounded its chest with all its might.

The gale carried by its roar swept through the area, blasting everyone backward again and again.

In a single exchange, Zhao Wuji was sent flying. Dai Mubai vomited blood as he was thrown back, while Tang San's face turned livid as he pushed Blue Silver Grass to its limits and bound it in place.

The Titan Giant Ape seemed to believe that Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others were provoking it. Its furious roar instantly blew Zhao Wuji backward.

The shockwave formed by its roar snapped the surrounding trees in half, and everyone was sent stumbling backward repeatedly.

Oscar saw Ning Rongrong lying on the ground, about to be struck by a broken tree trunk. He rushed over, grabbed her, and rolled away with her, narrowly escaping disaster.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were struck by the shockwave at that moment. Tang San saved Xiao Wu, while Yu Xiaofeng stomped on the ground and, moving like lightning, scooped Zhu Zhuqing into his arms before vanishing into midair.

Yu Xiaofeng landed with Zhu Zhuqing in his arms and hid behind a towering tree. He said to her, "Stay here and don't move. I'm going over to help. Hear me? Don't cause me trouble."

Though his words were forceful, his tone was incomparably gentle.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yu Xiaofeng and said, "Be careful."

At that moment, Zhao Wuji shouted, "Great Vajra Bear!"

Zhao Wuji transformed into an ancient war bear and charged toward the Titan Giant Ape.

Seeing Zhao Wuji transform, Tang San immediately launched a frenzied assault as well.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless hidden weapons flew from his hands and rained down upon the Titan Giant Ape. The barrage struck its body with a series of clattering explosions.

Yet Zhao Wuji's powerful transformation did not even last a minute before he was swatted away with a single palm strike, while Tang San's hidden weapons were completely ignored.

For some reason, Xiao Wu suddenly appeared before the Titan Giant Ape. It grabbed her in one hand, turned around, and fled.

Tang San roared, "No!"

As Tang San ran, his mind was filled with memories of Xiao Wu. At that moment, a figure flashed through the air ahead of him, followed by a voice. "Little San, don't worry. I, Yu Xiaofeng, guarantee that I'll bring your little sister-in-law back safely."

Yu Xiaofeng's words made everyone present tremble. Even Teacher Zhao could not shake the Titan Giant Ape. What could Yu Xiaofeng possibly do to save Xiao Wu?

Zhao Wuji shouted at the top of his lungs, "Little San, trust Xiaofeng."

Zhu Zhuqing said, "Little San, trust Brother Feng. He'll definitely do what he promised you."

Ning Rongrong said, "Third Brother, trust Brother Feng. He can definitely do it."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun said, "Brother Feng will definitely bring Xiao Wu back safely."

At that moment, Tang San's eyes were blurred with tears. His body did not stop moving, but his heart was filled with regret over why he was so weak. Blue Silver Grass wrapped around branches and pulled him forward through the trees, his eyes full of anguish and sorrow.

Yu Xiaofeng ran through the air, racing after the Titan Giant Ape's retreating figure. As the distance gradually closed, he shouted, "Let Xiao Wu go, or I won't mind turning you into a corpse."

As Yu Xiaofeng said this, he thought, Damn it... don't pay any attention to me. I'm just talking.

But those words displeased the Titan Giant Ape. It instantly turned around and let out a furious roar at Yu Xiaofeng.

Scorching heat mixed with shattered stones and broken branches surged toward Yu Xiaofeng.

Yu Xiaofeng snapped, "You think you're all that, huh?"

The Divine Realm Shield had barely formed in front of him when the Titan Giant Ape vanished from his sight.

With a muffled boom, Yu Xiaofeng was sent flying. As he spun through the air, he activated the Rebirth Eye and discovered that the Titan Giant Ape had stopped a thousand meters away, seemingly chatting with Xiao Wu.
