You Won't Save Xiao Wu? Then I Will!

Early the next morning,

Everyone crawled out of their tents at Zhao Wuji's call.

Tang San wore a faint smile as he slightly revealed his Soul Power.

"Oh? Tang San broke through Level 30?"

After putting out the campfire, Zhao Wuji looked at the Soul Power around Tang San as everyone gathered, a trace of approval showing in his eyes.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems this trip has brought us quite a harvest."

"What? Congratulations, congratulations!"

Oscar immediately hurried over to Tang San, speaking with a smile.

"Yes, that's great."

Ma Hongjun also stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Mm."

Tang San merely gave a soft "mm" and showed little reaction.

"What is it, Third Brother? Are you still thinking about Xiao Wu?"

Ma Hongjun seemed to know what Tang San was thinking and tried to comfort him.

"Yeah, maybe if we head deeper today... we'll find Xiao Wu?"

Ning Rongrong also tried to comfort Tang San.

Tang San said, "All right, I understand."

"Mm. Next, we'll head deeper and look for Mu Bai's Soul Ring."

"For Mu Bai's Soul Ring, we'll try to find a Tiger Soul Beast that suits him, one around four or five thousand years old."

Zhao Wuji said calmly, "As for Tang San's Soul Ring, we'll look for it on the way back."

After Zhao Wuji spoke, everyone continued deeper into the forest.

A flicker of dissatisfaction flashed through Tang San's eyes.

He planned to find any Soul Beast, hunt it for its Soul Ring, then leave the group and search for Xiao Wu alone.

Even if he stayed with them, they would not go looking for Xiao Wu.

After all, she was just an ordinary student. The teachers had already done their best by searching the forest for several days, and neither Dai Mubai nor Ma Hongjun could keep searching with him forever.

Tang San had already made up his mind.

As the group ventured deeper, a Man Faced Demon Spider soon entered their field of vision.

"Get lost!"

Zhao Wuji roared, and his Soul Power immediately erupted.

Just as he was about to drive away the Man Faced Demon Spider, Tang San's voice rang out. "Teacher Zhao, I want this Man Faced Demon Spider!"

"What did you say?"

Zhao Wuji froze and turned to look at Tang San.

"Teacher Zhao, I want this Man Faced Demon Spider. I want to kill it and make it my Soul Ring!"

Tang San stared resolutely at the Man Faced Demon Spider before him.

As long as he killed this Man Faced Demon Spider and obtained its Soul Ring,

He could become stronger.

Then he could go find Xiao Wu!

"Tang San, this Man Faced Demon Spider is a full Two Thousand Years old."

Dai Mubai suddenly spoke, glancing at Tang San. "And this Soul Beast isn't suitable for you."

"I think it suits me perfectly!"

Tang San shot Dai Mubai a dissatisfied look.

So what if it was Two Thousand Years old? A Soul Ring beyond the age limit was not necessarily impossible to absorb; it merely carried the risk of death.

He needed this Man Faced Demon Spider. He had to absorb its Soul Ring!

If he really waited until the return journey to obtain a Soul Ring,

How would he save Xiao Wu then?

"I've decided on this Man Faced Demon Spider! Teacher Zhao, help me restrain it!"

Tang San said.

"Third Brother, don't act on impulse! Boss Dai just said it too, this... this Man Faced Demon Spider isn't suitable for you!"

Ma Hongjun hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"I know you're devastated over Xiao Wu, but we're devastated too. You can't risk your life because of this!"

Ning Rongrong also tried to stop him.

"Besides, theoretically speaking, the Third Soul Ring shouldn't exceed one thousand seven hundred years."

Oscar spoke worriedly. "If you absorb one beyond your level, you'll die."

"I won't! I definitely won't!"

Tang San waved his hand and spoke in a somewhat forceful tone. "I can absorb this Soul Ring. Nothing will happen."

Dai Mubai looked at him in surprise.

He had thought that once Tang San learned this Soul Ring was over Two Thousand Years old, he would give up on absorbing it. He had not expected him to remain so adamant.

Looks like I overlooked something.

Dai Mubai recalled that after the Grandmaster learned Tang San had absorbed a two-thousand-year Soul Ring, he had merely reprimanded him and had not seemed too surprised.

It seems Soul Masters surpassing their limits to absorb Soul Rings really does happen, and it may actually succeed.

In that case, I have to stop Tang San.

"Tang San, don't stubbornly go your own way."

Dai Mubai shouted sternly.

"We're all from the same academy. How could we bear to watch you throw your life away?"

"I won't die! I can do it!"

Tang San had already run out of patience. He suddenly shouted, and the Hidden Weapons in his hands flew out at high speed.

"Hiss—"

Following Tang San's attack, several Hidden Weapons struck the Man Faced Demon Spider.

The group was also spotted by the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Feeling pain, the Man Faced Demon Spider was just about to counterattack when it sensed Zhao Wuji's terrifying aura and immediately turned to flee.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

Tang San roared, intending to press the advantage and pursue it.

"Tang San, what are you doing? Don't run off!"

Zhao Wuji panicked. Why was Tang San causing trouble again at a time like this?!

Hadn't he caused enough trouble yesterday?

Zhao Wuji was so furious that he wanted to pin him down and beat him senseless, but the scene from that night suddenly surfaced in his mind, making him shudder.

"Leave it to me, Teacher Zhao." Dai Mubai spoke at that moment.

He leaped onto a tree trunk, Soul Rings rising beneath his feet.

White Tiger Violent Light Wave!

Just as the Man Faced Demon Spider was about to flee,

A blast of light slammed fiercely into its body.

In an instant, the Man Faced Demon Spider collapsed onto the ground.

A purple Soul Ring floated out.
