On Lin Mo's way back, on the other side, Zhao Wuji of the Shrek Academy frowned, staring at Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged not far away.
Tang San had been absorbing the Soul Ring in this posture for more than ten hours.
A hint of worry crept onto Zhao Wuji's face.
They finally managed to catch up with Tang San, who had gone off to find Xiao Wu alone, thanks to Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausage.
When they found him, they discovered that the boy had once again run into the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
Not only that, Tang San actually snatched another Soul Ring from Meng Yiran: a Man Faced Demon Spider with a thousand years of cultivation.
Later, he had to invoke Tang Hao's name to scare away the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
What Zhao Wuji didn't expect was that it would take Tang San so long to absorb this Soul Ring. Although Zhao Wuji was experienced, he didn't know that the true age of the Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring that Tang San absorbed had already exceeded two thousand years.
This completely exceeds the theoretical limits of Third Soul Ring.
Of course, at this moment, Tang San was able to persevere because of his past experiences with Xiao Wu Xiao Wu his feelings for her.
He can't fall; Xiao Wu is still waiting for him to save her!
On the other side, Lin Mo was riding on the back of Charizard, heading back in the direction he had agreed upon with Dugu Yan and the others.
Lin Mo looked relaxed, examining the Charizard's stats with a rare hint of pleasure.
However, during the flight, Charizard suddenly let out a low roar and transmitted a vague sense to Lin Mo through the connection between the two.
It Frisk several familiar auras from Lin Mo in the forest below.
Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, then his mind raced.
At this point in time, appearing in the Star Dou Great Forest area, and being perceived as "familiar" by Charizard...
It seems that only that group of people remains.
He hesitated for a moment, then patted the Charizard's neck.
"Turn around, let's go down and take a look."
Charizard responded with a low growl, slightly tilted its Dual Wingbeat, and its massive body drew an arc in the air before turning and swooping down in the direction it sensed.
On the other side, the Shrek group was surrounding Tang San, who had just finished his training.
Tang San let out a long breath, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and the fluctuations of his Soul Power were noticeably stronger, officially stepping into the Soul Elder realm.
However, before Zhao Wuji could ask him for details, a strong wind pressure and scorching heat suddenly came from above everyone's heads.
"Be on guard!" Zhao Wuji reacted the fastest, shouting sharply as he instantly activated his Martial Soul Possession, causing seven Soul Ring to rise up and protect the Shrek Academy members behind him.
The others also paled, releasing their Martial Soul and nervously looking up.
A massive, fiery Red figure tore through the forest canopy and crashed to the ground.
A wave of intense heat hit us, making it hard to breathe.
Immediately afterwards, a figure nimbly leaped down from the dragon's back and landed in front of the crowd.
It was Lin Mo.
Time seemed to stand still when Shrek's gaze unconsciously swept over the majestic dragon beast beside Lin Mo and the five slowly rotating Soul Ring at its feet.
Two yellow, one purple, two black.
"Five... five Soul Ring?" Oscar's sausage fell to the ground with a "thud," completely unaware of it, his mouth agape and his eyes wide open.
Many people stared wide-eyed, looking as if they couldn't believe their eyes!
Zhao Wuji's facial muscles twitched violently a few times. He stared at the five Soul Ring at the dragon beast's feet, his throat dry, unable to utter a single word.
What kind of monster is Lin Mo?!
At this moment, Lin Mo's gaze had already swept across the entire venue, finally landing on Tang San, who had just stood up.
His gaze lingered for a moment on the eight spider-leg-like objects on Tang San's back that hadn't retracted into his body, a knowing glint in his eyes.
really.
Tang San still encountered the Man Faced Demon Spider, with whom he Infestation. He successfully killed it, absorbed its Soul Ring, and also obtained the Man Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone - the Eighteen Spider Spear.
Lin Mo quickly looked away, a hint of confusion appearing on his face, and asked Tang San, " Tang San, why are there only a few of you? Where's Xiao Wu? Isn't she with you?"
Upon hearing the name " Xiao Wu," Tang San's initial excitement from successfully absorbing the Soul Ring instantly plummeted.
His face paled visibly, his lips moved, but no sound came out for a long time.
The rest of the Shrek members also lowered their heads, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became oppressive.
After a long while, Tang San slowly raised his head, his voice hoarse and dry, and recounted in fits and starts the story of his encounter with the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu's capture.
Every word seemed to have been uttered with all his might.
After listening to Tang San's account, Lin Mo remained silent for a moment.
A hint of regret appeared on his face, and he sighed softly before speaking, "I didn't want to see this happen either—"
"But to put it bluntly, given the strength of your Soul Hunting team this time, encountering the Titan Giant Ape and ultimately only losing Xiao Wu is already extremely fortunate."
He paused, then continued, " Titan Giant Ape with a hundred years of cultivation is enough to contend with an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
The Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest is far more powerful than a mere ten-thousand-year-old being.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, the Shrek Academy members couldn't help but recall the terrifying pressure of the giant ape appearing out of nowhere, and a deep sense of powerlessness overwhelmed them once again.
After a long while, Ning Rongrong broke the uncomfortable silence by speaking first, partly out of her own curiosity.
Her gaze couldn't help but drift to the Soul Ring at the Charizard's feet, and she asked in a slightly tense voice, " Lin Mo ----"
"You, and your Martial Soul, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo said in a calm and collected voice, "Didn't I tell you this before?"
I came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to help the Charizard obtain its Fifth Soul Ring.
"Now, I've got the Soul Ring."
" Charizard? Fifth Soul Ring?" Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice suddenly rang out, her brows furrowing slightly. "Didn't you come here to get your Charmeleon its Fourth Soul Ring?"
She remembered clearly that Senior Qin Ming had mentioned to them that Lin Mo had come to Star Dou to obtain his Fourth Soul Ring.
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Lin Mo turned his gaze to her, but he did not immediately answer Zhu Zhuqing question.
Instead, as if he had discovered something interesting, he tilted his head slightly and asked, "I don't think I've ever told you the specific name of the new Martial Soul after the Charmander evolved, have I?"
Even Tang San and Xiao Wu had only seen the Charmander Charmander; they were unaware of its subsequent changes.
At this point, Lin Mo paused, his gaze sweeping over the Shrek Academy students present, "But—how do you all know that it was once called the Charmeleon?"
Silence fell once again.
The Shrek students exchanged bewildered glances, many of them looking embarrassed.
The answer is self-evident.
A moment later, Tang San broke the awkward silence.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and walked straight up to Lin Mo.
It was as if they had made a certain decision.
Tang San raised his head, and his bloodshot eyes now burned with an almost obsessive plea.
He looked straight at Lin Mo, " Lin Mo —I know we might have had some misunderstandings before, Mubai and Fatty—also offended you."
"But, for the sake of our past as classmates—I beg you, please help me, save Xiao Wu!"
Tang San's voice suddenly rose, " The Titan Giant Ape is too strong! There's no way I could have saved Xiao Wu from it! But—but you're different!"
His gaze involuntarily drifted to the terrifying Charizard beside Lin Mo, and the flame of hope in his eyes burned even brighter.
"With your strength—your Martial Soul —you must have a way, right?"
Tang San lowered his head abruptly, his voice choked with emotion.
"If you can help me save Xiao Wu —I'm willing to pay any price! Any price is fine! I'm begging you!"
