"How... how is this possible? Teacher Zhao... Teacher Zhao lost in one move!"
Seeing Zhao Wuji's miserable state, Ma Hongjun wore an expression of despair.
But even more than that, he was filled with enormous confusion.
After all, just a few days ago, Xiao Yexuan had still been a three-ring Soul Elder when he saw him.
Could a three-ring Soul Elder really be this powerful?
And it wasn't just Xiao Yexuan who was powerful.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong had all become very strong after going to Maple Forest Evening.
Xiao Wu could even kill Dai Mubai single-handedly now.
What incredible talent...
It made him want to go to Maple Forest Evening too.
Unfortunately, Maple Forest Evening didn't accept men.
"Hehe, watch how your Sister Xiao Wu beats every last one of you into a pig's head today!"
Xiao Wu laughed arrogantly and slowly walked toward the others from Shrek Academy.
Her face was full of ill intent.
"Y-you stay away!"
Oscar cried in terror, darting away and greasing his heels.
All those years of running every day at Shrek Academy had finally paid off.
But he hadn't run more than a few meters before he saw Xiao Wu appear in front of him.
"No matter how fast food-type and support-type Soul Masters run, can they outrun a Soul Skill?"
Xiao Wu spoke coldly. Now that Shrek's four men had fallen into her hands today, she would catch them all in one net!
She would take them to the Lake of Life and torment them mercilessly.
"Xiao Wu, why? Why have things come to this between us? Cough, cough!" Tang San's face was full of heartache.
He took a small hammer out of his storage device, and formidable power emanated from it.
At the same time, Tang Hao sensed that Tang San was in danger and hurriedly revealed himself.
Tang Hao's powerful oppressive presence descended from the sky.
Granny Dragon's expression changed drastically. "A... a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring... a Titled Douluo!"
"Dad."
Tang San called out, his voice filled with affection.
"Brat, you dare touch one of mine?!" Tang Hao roared, a fox borrowing a tiger's might.
But Xiao Yexuan wasn't frightened. He knew perfectly well what condition Tang Hao was in now.
He merely called softly to the shark girl beside him, "Ellen."
"Do I have to fight him? What a pain..."
Ellen spoke with a listless expression.
Frost spread from her body as Soul Rings emerged around her, one after another.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red!
She was actually a Titled Douluo with three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!
Tang Hao stared blankly, and Tang San was dumbfounded.
Everyone from Shrek despaired, while Granny Dragon and Meng Yiran trembled.
Hiss...
Three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings-was that something a human could possess?
Tang Hao hurriedly grabbed his son and tried to flee.
Only then did he discover that his body had already been frozen solid, leaving him unable to move.
Because of his earlier Ring Detonation, he was now incredibly weak and badly injured, and he passed out on the spot.
Everyone from Shrek Academy, along with Tang Hao, was taken captive.
"Your Excellency... greetings."
Snake Granny brought Meng Yiran forward to pay her respects.
A Titled Douluo with three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings absolutely stood at the pinnacle of this world.
They had no desire to provoke someone so formidable.
"Hello, I'm the landlord of Maple Forest Evening. This is our business card. Feel free to come experience Maple Forest Evening when you have time~"
With a gentle expression, Xiao Yexuan handed the two of them a Maple Forest Evening card as he spoke.
"Maple Forest Evening? Is... is that Your Excellency's organization? We are truly overwhelmed to receive Your Excellency's invitation~!"
Snake Granny accepted the card with trembling hands.
Xiao Yexuan didn't explain much and turned his gaze toward Meng Yiran beside her.
Meng Yiran's face was slightly flushed. When she noticed Xiao Yexuan looking over, she quickly shuddered and lowered her head.
Xiao Yexuan was simply too outstanding. Not only was he powerful himself, but he also had a top-tier Titled Douluo protecting him.
He was even surrounded by so many beautiful girls. She felt that those presumptuous thoughts of hers were far too extravagant.
Xiao Yexuan smiled gently at her and released the thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent as he said:
"It's true that the weak are prey to the strong in nature, but from now on, relations between humans and Soul Beasts mustn't remain so strained. If you want a Soul Ring, why not visit my Maple Forest Evening?"
"Maple Forest Evening... what does Maple Forest Evening do?" Seeing how gently Xiao Yexuan spoke, Meng Yiran mustered the courage to speak as well.
"It's just an inn. Miss, if you come to stay, I can give you a discount~!"
"Yes! I'll come!"
Meng Yiran was excited, her heart pounding. If she went to Maple Forest Evening, wouldn't she be able to see him every day...
Only then did she realize that she still didn't know Xiao Yexuan's name. She steadied her emotions and spoke in a shy voice:
"I... my name is Meng Yiran. I'll come take a look at your inn!"
"I'm the landlord. Maple Forest Evening welcomes you."
Xiao Yexuan smiled gently.
Then he walked over to Tang Hao, wondering how to deal with him.
But he found an unfinished letter on Tang Hao.
Tang Hao wasn't behaving himself. Was he planning to inform the Clear Sky Sect?
Xiao Yexuan opened the envelope, and his eyes lit up.
Tang Hao still didn't want the Clear Sky Sect to invite such enormous trouble.
But to draw a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, he actually wanted to bring Tang Yuehua over.
The plan was simple. Since Xiao Wu, whom they had supported, hadn't worked out, they would send Tang Yuehua into Maple Forest Evening.
Then they would secretly fund Tang Yuehua and have her give them all the good things she drew.
Hiss...
What a loving family they were.
Wasn't this rather interesting?
So Xiao Yexuan decided to let these people go.
Not only would it give outsiders a good impression of him as someone who didn't take lives, but it would also encourage others to send their little sisters in.
Tang Hao would send his own sister in for Soul Bones.
Once these people from Shrek Academy returned and Flender learned about it, would that ultimate simp also send a letter and bring Liu Erlong over so that she could obtain an even greater opportunity?
The others didn't raise much objection to Xiao Yexuan letting them go.
Even Ning Rongrong, who hated Tang San enough to want to kill him, merely sighed that her Brother Yexuan was so kind.
After tossing Tang San and the others aside, the group continued searching for a beautiful mountain.
Meng Yiran and Snake Granny followed them too. After all, they had already agreed to visit Maple Forest Evening.
Since they were heading the same way anyway, why not go together?
What Xiao Wu had been waiting for soon arrived as well.
Just as the group thought that the little mountain covered in peach trees looked quite nice, two immensely powerful presences descended upon the area.
They were none other than the kings of the forest, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python!
Although Snake Granny was afraid, remembering the shark girl's strength kept her from crying out.
"Whoa~! Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Brother Yexuan!"
Faced with danger, Ning Rongrong threw herself straight into Xiao Yexuan's arms.
Zhu Zhuqing also wanted very much to act spoiled like that, but her personality wouldn't allow it. She used Martial Soul Possession, taking on the appearance of a catgirl, and prepared to contribute to the fight.
Xiao Yexuan's expression remained gentle, without the slightest sign of fear.
Xiao Wu was a little disappointed when she saw this. She had thought she would get to see her landlord brother flustered and at a loss.
