Tang San's Third Soul Ring Was Only Eight Years Old

As Xiao Wu began to feel a trace of heat,

a vague sense that something was wrong slowly rose in her heart.

She gradually slowed from a run to a walk.

The scorching sensation above her head grew stronger and stronger.

She slowly raised her head.

Who else could be wrapped within that sphere of Blue Flame but Feng Yang?

At this moment, Xiao Wu still did not feel the slightest unease.

Instead, she gave a calm, light laugh.

"Heh, Teacher Feng Yang, you only got away before because you ran fast! Now you know how impressive I am, right?"

Feng Yang landed on the ground.

The Blue Flame slowly faded away.

"Yes, having the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, as your underling is truly impressive."

"Hmph."

Xiao Wu gave a smug snort.

With her little hands on her hips, her tiny face was practically tilted toward the sky.

"Good that you know. From now on, everyone at Shrek Academy has to listen to me, understand?"

"Listen to you?"

Wearing a harmless smile, Feng Yang slowly took a step forward.

"That's right!"

The moment Xiao Wu finished speaking,

Feng Yang raised his hand and grabbed her delicate collar.

It made Xiao Wu's heart skip a beat in fright.

The composure on her little face vanished at once.

"You?!"

"Hm?"

Feng Yang stared at her with an unhurried expression.

"..."

Yet it made Xiao Wu's scalp tingle.

"You still dare treat me like this? Do you believe the Titan Giant Ape could slap you into a pile of mush with one hand?"

"Looks like you still don't understand the situation."

Feng Yang spoke leisurely.

The next second,

his expression changed drastically.

He raised one hand high.

"Ah!!"

Xiao Wu screamed repeatedly in fright.

She hurriedly covered her little face.

She finally knew fear!

She also understood that as long as the Titan Giant Ape was not around, she was just a little rabbit who could be handled however others pleased.

When the slap failed to fall for a long time,

Xiao Wu finally revealed a sliver of her eyes.

"Teacher Feng Yang, don't hit me..."

She pleaded softly.

Teaching Xiao Wu a lesson would never get tiresome.

"Is this you begging for mercy?" Feng Yang asked with a smile.

"Y-Yes."

"Don't. I still prefer the way you looked before, all wild and unyielding." Feng Yang continued teasing her.

"..."

"When was I like that..."

"No? When you were sitting on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, you were awfully proud," Feng Yang said.

"Teacher Feng Yang, I'm really sorry..."

"Is saying sorry enough?" Feng Yang asked.

"..."

It was over.

Xiao Wu had already sensed what he was going to do next.

There was even a good chance she would not be able to protect her innocence.

"Teacher Feng Yang, please don't be like this. Although I had the Titan Giant Ape chase you, I never meant to hurt you. I only wanted to teach you a little lesson."

"Oh? And how did you want to teach me a lesson?" Feng Yang asked.

"..."

How could Xiao Wu possibly dare say it?

"I just wanted you to stop bullying me in the future."

"Bullying you? You brought this upon yourself today," Feng Yang said.

"..."

Seeing the look in his eyes,

Xiao Wu already knew what she had to do.

And she had to placate him properly.

Otherwise, she truly would not be able to protect her innocence today.

"I understand, Teacher Feng Yang."

Xiao Wu looked around and noticed several large trees about fifty meters to the left, where the area appeared quite secluded.

So she took Feng Yang's hand and led him in that direction.

"Teacher Feng Yang, stand here."

With that said,

she knew what she had to do.

When Feng Yang looked down at her and their gazes met,

Xiao Wu gave him a sweet smile.

She gave him all the reassurance he wanted.

Xiao Wu was rather clever at this moment.

And the feeling really was not bad.

She had completely mastered every method from that first lesson this time.

"Teacher Feng Yang, is this all right?"

"Not bad."

"..."

The place she had chosen was truly ingenious.

Just ten meters away, behind a patch of bushes,

Tang San, who had come out alone to search for Xiao Wu, also encountered his own opportunity.

He came across a two-thousand-year-old Insect Soul Beast.

He killed it.

At this moment, he was absorbing its Soul Ring.

But he suddenly heard Xiao Wu's voice.

It immediately threw Tang San's mind into turmoil as he absorbed the Soul Ring.

Unable to stop himself, he opened his eyes and glanced in that direction.

Just one glance.

Boom!

Tang San felt as though his entire body had exploded!

The figures of the two of them were clearly visible from the side.

Feng Yang stood there, leaning against a tree.

"Pfft—"

Tang San was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Soul Ring absorption was forcibly interrupted as well.

He steadied his emotions and continued absorbing it.

"Pfft—"

Tang San spat out another mouthful of blood.

His Dao Heart was completely thrown into chaos.

Although Tang San did not want to keep watching, he simply could not stop himself.

Until several minutes later,

Tang San completely broke down.

Only when—

the two of them finally disappeared from sight

did Tang San regain some composure. But when he wanted to continue absorbing the Soul Ring,

it had already dissipated at some point after being left too long.

Boom—!!

Tang San felt like he had truly exploded this time!

His Third Soul Ring had only been absorbed for a few minutes, and it was only eight years old.

It did not even grant him a Soul Skill.

"Ah—!!"

Furious, he slammed his fist into the ground and let out a long howl.

"Feng Yang!! You have chosen the path to death!!"

This time,

Tang San's hatred for Feng Yang had become impossible to erase, completely surpassing even his hatred for Dai Mubai.

The two walked through the forest.

"Teacher Feng Yang, have you forgiven me?" Xiao Wu asked softly.

Feng Yang draped an arm over her fragrant shoulders and used his other hand to stroke her little face.

"I've forgiven you."

"It's good that you've forgiven me." Xiao Wu took his large hand as she spoke. "Teacher Feng Yang, don't keep your arm around me. It wouldn't be good if your two disciples saw us."

"What if they do? You're not my disciple anyway, so it's perfectly proper," Feng Yang said.

Oh no.

You may not care, but I do!

If Tang San sees us, how am I supposed to explain this?

"Teacher Feng Yang, don't be like this. Look how well-behaved I was today..."

"Fine. When we return to the academy, remember this: whenever I call you to my room, you must come immediately," Feng Yang said.

"..."
