Zhao Wuji glanced at the girl. Killing the young was easy, but if the old man was determined to escape, he wouldn't be able to stop him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji's expression calmed down a bit.
"My name is Zhao Wuji," Zhao Wuji said coldly.
"So it's the Immovable Wisdom King, renowned throughout the Soul Master World."
Knowing she was outmatched, the Snake Granny calmed down and regretted speaking too quickly, thus offending her opponent.
"This Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake was prey that I found for my granddaughter. Would you be willing to part with it?"
"Excuse me, we'll take the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake."
Zhao Wuji shook his head, glanced at the Snake Granny, and frowned.
Zhao Wuji and the Snake Granny locked eyes, and for a moment they froze in place.
"But... this prey is clearly ours!"
The girl beside the Snake Granny suddenly spoke up, and Zhao Wuji couldn't help but look at her upon hearing this:
What evidence do you have?
"This Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake has two wounds on its abdomen, inflicted by me. However, it's quite slippery, and I Xiao Xin to let it escape..."
Upon hearing this, Oscar flipped over the belly of the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake and saw that there were indeed two wounds. However, before he could speak, Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, kicked a rock away, and tore off a large piece of flesh from the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake's belly.
"It seems you've mistaken us. This Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake is one we hunted. If there's nothing else, please leave."
Zhao Wuji turned to look at the Snake Granny; she was no kind person.
If it weren't for his fear of the Dragon Duke behind the other party, and the inability to capture them all, Zhao Wuji would probably have chosen to kill them to silence them.
"Very well! The Qing Shan remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever. I will remember this."
The Snake Granny gave Zhao Wuji a deep look, silencing the girl who was about to say something, and then pulled her back slowly.
Only after reaching a safe area did the girl quickly leave.
Clearly, she was also worried that Zhao Wuji would make a move.
" Teacher Zhao, this..."
Oscar hesitated. Among the group, Ning Rongrong knew more about the various forces involved and had already shared the information about the Peerless Dragon Snake with everyone.
"What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. Oscar, absorb it quickly."
Zhao Wuji glared at everyone and said:
"The rest of you, Xiao Xin and cautious in the surrounding area."
Without further hesitation, Oscar excitedly plunged the dagger into the head of the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake.
As the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake lost its life force, a purple Soul Ring appeared above its corpse and slowly floated up.
Oscar sat cross-legged on the ground, summoning his Martial Soul. The Purple Soul Ring slowly merged into Oscar's Martial Soul...
The others sat cross-legged around Oscar, both to rest and to Xiao Xin observe the movements around them.
Zhao Wuji stood atop a giant tree, worried that the Snake Granny might harbor resentment after suffering this loss and bring back the Dragon Duke to cause trouble.
Fortunately, everything went very smoothly. Half an hour later, Oscar slowly opened his eyes, his face full of excitement.
"So, Oscar, what's your third Soul Skill?"
Ma Hongjun spoke first, looking curiously at Oscar.
"My third Soul Skill..."
Oscar paused mysteriously for a moment, then said, "I've gained the ability to fly."
"Flight!?"
"Real!?"
Everyone turned around upon hearing Oscar's words, even Zhao Wuji in the tree was equally shocked.
"Hahaha."
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Oscar nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, the food summoned by my third Soul Skill allows one to fly for one minute after eating it."
"Just one minute? I thought it was something amazing."
Hearing Oscar's words, Ma Hongjun shook his head dismissively, "You can't even fly across a wide river in one minute."
"What if its flight speed was the speed of Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake?"
Oscar's words surprised everyone once again.
Flying at the speed of Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake for even a minute would be extremely terrifying.
The Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake is Thousand-Year Soul Beast. At its current speed, it could probably fly two thousand meters in one minute, and that's still the current effect!
If faced with a life-or-death crisis, flying two thousand meters, ignoring the terrain, might just change the situation!
" Little Ao, your Soul Skill is quite impressive. With your current Soul Power, how many of these sausages can you create?"
Zhao Wuji landed on the ground and looked at Oscar, asking him a question.
"This Soul Skill consumes more energy than the previous two. I can only create ten at a time, after which my Soul Power will be completely depleted, and I need to fully recover before I can create another one."
Oscar pondered for a moment before replying.
"Ten is enough." Zhao Wuji nodded.
"As your Soul Power increases, the effects and quantity will gradually strengthen. From now on, your Martial Soul can be classified as top-grade."
" Oscar, quick, tell me what the incantation for your third Soul Skill is?"
Ma Hongjun suddenly appeared and spoke with a strange expression.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon Oscar.
His first two Soul Skill spells were rather... unseemly; especially the girls, who glared at Oscar.
Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, everyone became curious about the spell for his third Soul Skill.
"That's settled then, you're not allowed to laugh!"
Oscar looked at everyone, gritted his teeth, and spoke.
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't laugh."
Dai Mubai and the others nodded. Oscar glanced at everyone again before beginning to read:
"I have a Mushroom Sausage!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
As soon as Oscar uttered his spell, everyone burst into laughter.
"You all agreed not to laugh!" Oscar gritted his teeth, then continued:
"Hmph! From now on, my Mushroom Sausage will only be for Xiao Yan and Tang San."
The two of them were the only ones whose smiles weren't so obvious.
"Alright, it's getting dark. It seems you'll have to hunt for your Soul Ring tomorrow Xiao Yan."
Zhao Wuji's gaze fell on Xiao Yan.
Fearing that the Peerless Dragon Snake couple would return to seek revenge, Zhao Wuji led the group to change their direction, concealing all traces. After traveling more than ten miles, they finally chose a relatively flat area to rest.
Let's rest here tonight.
After Zhao Wuji spoke, everyone arranged their night shifts and began to rest.
Nothing unexpected happened that night, and everyone got a good rest. However, the next morning...
"What!?"
Zhao Wuji stared wide-eyed at Tang San before him, and said incredulously:
"You mean, you've also broken through to level 30?"
The others watched Tang San with bitter expressions.
Xiao Yan and Tang San were both extraordinary individuals who reached the Soul Elder realm at the age of twelve.
Even among this group of "monsters," they realized that these two were the real "monsters" at such speed.
"No wonder they're fellow disciples; monsters really do appear in groups, huh?"
Ma Hongjun let out a wail, while Zhao Wuji looked excited.
"Hahaha, you all should look at this. Learn from Xiao Yan and Tang San. Why were they able to break through at such a young age? It's because they worked hard all the time..."
After Zhao Wuji finished his lecture, he waved his hand and led the group to continue their search for Soul Beast.
This time, however, in addition to Xiao Yan, they also need to find someone for Tang San.
