At the same time.

Tang San and the others slowly came to as well.

"Looks like that Titan Giant Ape was just passing by. It wasn't really trying to hurt us."

"Wait."

"Xiao Wu and Feng Yang are gone."

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San immediately began to panic.

"Master!" Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong began looking around in every direction as well.

"Xiao Wu must have been taken away by the Titan Giant Ape. No, I have to find her." Tang San's gaze was resolute.

"Xiao San, are you crazy? That's a Titan Giant Ape!" Dai Mubai said.

Clearly.

Even though Xiao Wu had warned them in advance, they still couldn't believe that the Titan Giant Ape would listen to Xiao Wu.

The only possibility was that Xiao Wu had lured such a powerful soul beast here, only to get herself caught up in the disaster as well.

"I have to go. Oscar, you have to help me. Give me a Flying Mushroom Sausage—the faster, the better," Tang San said.

And so, Tang San ate the Flying Mushroom Sausage and headed toward the depths of the forest.

Feng Yang flew five hundred meters above the ground.

Looking down.

The entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Other than a few ancient trees that had stood for ten thousand years and could rival his height.

Everything else lay within view.

It gave him the feeling of looking down upon all the forests below.

Meanwhile, the Soul Masters within the Star Dou Great Forest who were hunting soul beasts saw this scene, and their reactions were quite interesting.

"The moon is so round tonight!"

"Yeah, it looks like it's on fire."

"And it looks so blue. Haven't you noticed it seems a little low, too?"

"You three idiots, look carefully. Is that really the moon?"

"Huh?"

"There's someone standing inside the moon?"

"What the hell?"

"That isn't the moon—it's a Flight Soul Skill released by a Soul Master?!"

"My god."

Seeing that the Titan Giant Ape had disappeared without pursuing him, Feng Yang finally lowered his altitude.

There was quite a bit of activity within that hundred-li radius alone. It seemed that quite a few people were hunting soul beasts for soul rings.

And in one area!

Feng Yang spotted a large soul beast.

It was a strange giant spider with a body over one and a half meters in diameter and eight spear-like legs over three meters long. Its entire body was covered in glossy black armor. The tips of its long legs were slender, and every silent step pierced into the ground, showing just how sharp they were.

From above, it was especially conspicuous.

Judging by its speed, it was clearly fleeing for its life.

Feng Yang immediately descended to intercept it!

As the distance closed, the three people chasing the spider entered his view.

They were Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, and Meng Yiran!

The three of them were pursuing this Man Faced Demon Spider!

He had arrived at just the right time!

Boom!

A blue sphere of light crashed down directly in front of the Man Faced Demon Spider.

At once!

The Man Faced Demon Spider shuddered all over in fright.

Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, and Meng Yiran, who had been chasing it, were also stunned.

When they looked closely!

"Master!" Meng Yiran's face filled with delight.

"I never expected that the figure in the sky, resembling a person standing in the middle of a full moon, would be little brother Feng Yang!"

Meng Shu said in surprise.

At the same time!

"Hiss—"

The Man Faced Demon Spider leaped from where it stood, thrusting its eight spear-like legs fiercely toward Feng Yang.

Whether its saliva or body, the Man Faced Demon Spider was filled with deadly poison. Once it got on someone, it was no joke.

But unfortunately, it was merely a two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider.

Feng Yang, on the other hand, was a level sixty-one Soul Master.

"First Soul Skill, Dragon Stretch!"

Feng Yang held a cluster of Blue Flame in his hand.

Whoosh—

It carved a semicircle through the night sky.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's entire body was sent flying backward.

On the spider's lower abdomen, several white markings were clearly visible, standing in stark contrast to its black body.

Those white markings formed the shape of a hideous human face. Eight small eyes flickering with a faint purple glow were pressed tightly against its lower abdomen.

After it crawled back up.

It had lost all will to fight.

"Hiss—"

A web suddenly shot out!

"Be careful, little brother Feng Yang!" Meng Shu shouted. "That web is incredibly tough—"

Before he could finish.

"Fourth Soul Skill! Sweep the Earth's Karmic Fire!"

Boom—

Blue Flame surged fiercely across Feng Yang's entire body.

A shockwave of Blue Flame formed before him.

And burst forward.

The spiderweb instantly turned to ash.

As the flames continued to rush and burn, the Man Faced Demon Spider failed to dodge and was directly swallowed by the Blue Flame. Some of the bristles across its body instantly caught fire, illuminating the surrounding area.

"Hiss—"

The pain caused the Man Faced Demon Spider to flip over onto its back.

The Blue Flame was simply too hot!

It directly robbed it of its ability to move, leaving it to struggle helplessly in place like a headless fly.

Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, and Meng Yiran were all dumbfounded.

They had chased it for so long, yet Feng Yang had dealt with it in only a few breaths.

Feng Yang let out a long breath.

Only then did his gaze fall upon the three of them.

"Brother Meng, Snake Grandma, Yiran."

"Little brother Feng Yang, that web was incredibly tough and kept blocking our path. We chased it for so long, but I never expected it to be so vulnerable before your Blue Flame," Dragon Duke said.

"One thing restrains another. Things like spiderwebs are basically flammable under fire," Feng Yang said with a smile.

"Master! You're just too amazing!" Meng Yiran said excitedly.

"Hehe, quickly use your Snake Blade to kill it and obtain the soul ring. Otherwise, if my Blue Flame burns it to death in a moment, it'll be a waste," Feng Yang said with a smile.

"Mm."

Meng Yiran no longer hesitated.

She raised the Snake Blade in her hand.

Squelch~

It pierced directly into the Man Faced Demon Spider's face.

After struggling faintly a few times, it finally ended its suffering.

A soul ring slowly drifted out from its body.

Meng Yiran sat cross-legged nearby and began absorbing the soul ring.

"Feng Yang, why are you here alone? Where are your students?" Chao Tianxiang asked.

"Since you hadn't come for so long, I had no choice but to look for you. As her master, I still had to get Yiran a decent soul ring," Feng Yang said smoothly.

He did not mention being chased here by the Titan Giant Ape.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exchanged a glance.

Their eyes were filled with joy and appreciation.

"Hahaha." Meng Shu burst into hearty laughter. "Little brother Feng Yang, you've truly put your heart into this. It makes this old brother feel embarrassed. If there's anything you lack, just say the word. As long as I, Meng Shu, can provide it."

Feng Yang truly lacked nothing right now.

Even soul bones, the rarest and most expensive treasures in the Soul Master world, could be obtained through taking disciples, and could even be upgraded.

"Old man, why not just give Feng Yang some Gold Soul Coins? He can buy whatever he wants himself. Otherwise, he probably won't think of what he lacks anytime soon," Chao Tianxiang said.

"Right, right, right." Meng Shu suddenly understood and took out a bag. "This is a Storage Bag. There are ten thousand soul coins inside. Little brother Feng Yang, accept it."

"How could I possibly accept this? As the saying goes, once a teacher, a father for life. As Yiran's master, teaching her skills and Soul Skills, and helping her obtain soul rings—those are all things I should do. How could I take payment? What would make me any different from an ordinary teacher?" Feng Yang politely refused with a solemn expression.

He truly spoke differently depending on who he was facing.

"Hahaha." Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exchanged another glance. Clearly, they approved of Feng Yang's character even more. "This isn't payment. I simply regard little brother Feng Yang as a junior and wish to give you something so that you can live a little better. I imagine that meager salary from Shrek Academy isn't enough for little brother Feng Yang to spend, is it?"

"Since Brother Meng has put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony."
