Soul Ring Absorption Failed, Oscar Harbored Killing Intent
"You weren't in the right state just now; your body was just one step away from collapsing."
Thankfully, Teacher Zhao intervened in time, otherwise... you might have become a cripple."
Ye Fan stepped forward, looked at the wounded Oscar, and spoke.
"What?!"
Oscar stared at Ye Fan in disbelief.
How could he possibly fail to absorb something that's just a thousand-year-old Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?!
But the pitying looks from those around him forced him to accept this reality.
Oscar sensed his own Soul Power and exclaimed in surprise.
"I... my Soul Power... is gone."
Because the process of absorbing the Soul Ring was interrupted, his Soul Power actually regressed by 0.5 levels!
He currently only has 29.5 levels of Soul Power.
In other words, it will be impossible to absorb Soul Ring during this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Don't underestimate this level 0.5 of Soul Power.
For a food-type Soul Master, 0.5 level Soul Power might be the result of a month of hard work.
Just then, Tang San also spoke up to comfort him, "It's okay, Oscar."
It's just a Soul Ring from a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent; the best thing is that you're alright.
Upon hearing Tang San's words, Oscar felt a wave of nausea wash over him.
Damn it!
If it weren't for that medicine, I could have absorbed that top-grade Soul Ring.
He shouldn't have believed Tang San's words, and he also regretted ignoring Ye Fan's warning.
Why is he pretending to know everything?
Now, not only are the Soul Ring gone, but the Soul Power has also regressed...
Tang San!!
You despicable, shameless, hypocritical little man!
I'm going to kill you!!!
Although he harbored resentment, Oscar knew he was powerless to do those things now, so he could only bury the thought deep in his heart.
Therefore, Oscar maintained a magnanimous demeanor on the surface.
"It's alright... You meant well, Little San, I don't blame you."
"It's just a pity about my Soul Ring... it's so rare."
"It's probably very difficult to meet again..."
Hearing this, Ye Fan felt a little strange.
Has Oscar awakened some strange new attribute?
Why does the tea smell so strong?
The fact that the object opposite him was Tang San made it all the more strange.
Seeing Oscar's reaction, Tang San thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Little Ao, I'll definitely keep an eye out for you when we're looking for Soul Ring!"
Tang San had a very clear understanding of the situation.
It was just a verbal promise anyway.
Finding Soul Beast is all about luck.
If luck is bad, what can human effort do?
"Thank you... Little San."
Oscar closed his eyes and turned his head away.
He doesn't want to see Tang San at all right now.
Zhao Wuji felt quite annoyed watching this scene.
I never expected that just finding Soul Ring would lead to so many unexpected events along the way.
He said loudly, "Alright, stop crying like that, you're a grown man. You're lucky to have escaped with your life."
Since we can't absorb the Soul Ring anytime soon, let's not waste time here; it's too dangerous.
"Let's take Oscar and leave this place."
Led by Zhao Wuji, the group began to return along the path they had come from.
Ye Fan also released his Spiritual Power, maximizing his vigilance.
He helped Xiao Wu conceal her presence, not knowing whether the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming could still sense Xiao Wu.
If it can't sense Xiao Wu, then Tang San really won't be able to find the Man Faced Demon Spider this time.
Xiao Wu noticed that Ye Fan seemed troubled and gently asked, "What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Ye Fan chuckled softly.
"It's nothing. I was just wondering if something bad will happen to us when we leave the Star Dou Great Forest."
Xiao Wu: "???"
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Xiao Wu quickly covered Ye Fan's mouth with her hand.
Can't you say something nice...?
With your jinxed mouth, whatever you say comes true! You still dare to spout nonsense!
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.
He didn't use his Martial Soul, so how could it be so effective?
Even if I don't say anything, what's meant to happen will happen. What if that Titan Giant Ape comes again?
Zhao Wuji couldn't stop him; if fate were to be corrected once again...
Then, Tang San will get his hands on that good stuff again.
"..."
After hearing Ye Fan's thoughts, Xiao Wu was speechless.
That Titan Giant Ape... it must be referring to Er Ming, right?
But how did Er Ming end up on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?
But what exactly is that good stuff?
A host of questions lingered in her mind, causing Xiao Wu's rabbit brain to overheat.
I can't understand it, I just can't understand it.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also began to think about it.
If Ye Fan cares about it so much, it must be something very powerful.
Maybe... it's Soul Bone!
Not long after hearing Ye Fan's thoughts.
A violent tremor came from the distance of the forest, and everyone became alert.
In the distance, birds scattered and beasts fled, and the earth shook.
Large numbers of Soul Beast began to flee in their direction, as if they were hiding from something.
"Watch out, something's coming!"
Zhao Wuji instantly Martial Soul Possession, knocking away all the flying trees and Soul Beast.
"Damn it, what are all these things?"
The others also activated their Martial Soul Possession and began to avoid danger.
After Ye Fan activated a protective barrier using his Word Spirit, his expression became somewhat strange.
Could it be true, as Xiao Wu said... that he's a jinx?
What I feared most came to pass.
He was afraid of the obedient Qian Renxue, so why hadn't she appeared?
But now is clearly not the time to think about those things.
In the distance, a mountain-like black shadow was slowly approaching, emanating an extremely terrifying aura.
This guy... really is Er Ming!
Although it was slow, that was only relative to his size.
He appeared nearby in everyone's sight, leaving no time to escape.
After the mountain-like figure appeared, everyone finally saw what it was.
It has the appearance of an ape, the body of a mountain, and the skin covered with tough fur.
"This, this is Titan Giant Ape!"
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Zhao Wuji's forehead.
How did this thing end up here!?
It's important to know that a hundred-year-old Titan Giant Ape can take on a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast single-handedly.
Such a Titan Giant Ape must be at least Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; it's simply beyond his capabilities to deal with.
Everyone else started to panic, but Xiao Wu and Ye Fan remained calm.
They all knew that the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming wouldn't harm them.
This time, Ye Fan's inner voice opened a private channel for Xiao Wu.
[Tsk, how did this brother-in-law sense Xiao Wu's presence when her aura was completely concealed? I'll have to have Xiao Wu find out later.]
Xiao Wu was taken aback upon hearing this.
Is Er Ming here to see her?
No wonder he's here... But when did Er Ming acquire such abilities?
