After a hurried journey, the group finally returned to the town where they had rested earlier.
Back in town, no one was in a hurry to return to the Shrek Academy.
After experiencing such a thrilling scene in the Star Dou Great Forest, they rested in the town for two days.
For the past two days, Dai Mubai has paid for everyone's expenses.
Every day we would drink and joke around together, enjoying an indescribably relaxed and carefree time.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun would disappear every night, but judging from Ma Hongjun's refreshed appearance the next day, everyone knew what they had been up to.
Zhao Wuji didn't interfere in their private lives.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained icy.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had considered inviting Tang San, Xiao Yan, and Oscar along.
However, Tang San was kept under close watch by Xiao Wu and couldn't leave the house at all.
Xiao Yan felt that this body was only twelve years old, too early, and he had no interest in such matters at all.
Oscar went with the two for one night, and the next day he received eye-rolls from all the girls. He immediately sobered up and stopped going out to fool around.
Inside the Shrek Academy.
In the dean's office, Zhao Wuji recounted to Flender the experiences of everyone in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Upon hearing of the appearance of the Peerless Dragon Snake couple, and the commotion caused by the terrifying King of the Forest, Flender was filled with lingering fear.
Fortunately, there were no casualties this time.
Flender breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"They are the future of the Shrek Academy. I originally thought that you were more than capable of leading the team."
"It seems we'll have to rearrange things next time. The two of us will go together, and we'll bring two more teachers along, just in case."
No one expected that simply hunting for a group of children to obtain their Third Soul Ring would lead to an encounter with the Titan Giant Ape in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
"I just don't know what that bull's bellowing sound was, that even the Titan Giant Ape was terrified by it..."
Flender muttered to himself, but a somewhat hoarse voice came from the doorway:
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Sky Azure Bull Python!"
"Um?"
Hearing the sound from outside the door, Flender's face lit up with excitement. He opened the door, and standing outside was none other than Grandmaster, Xiao Yan and Tang San's teacher.
"Hahaha, you rascal!"
Flender walked up to the Grandmaster with an excited expression and said:
"You've finally shown up!"
Flender pulled the Grandmaster into the room and introduced him to Zhao Wuji:
"This is Xiao Yan and Tang San's teacher, and also one of our good friends back then, a renowned Grandmaster in the Soul Master World."
"So you're the Grandmaster, I've heard so much about you." Zhao Wuji looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a surprised expression.
"Hehe, Immovable Wisdom King is too kind."
After the Grandmaster and Zhao Wuji introduced themselves, Flender pulled the Grandmaster aside and said:
" Xiao Gang, what's this about the Sky Azure Bull Python you mentioned earlier?"
Zhao Wuji, who was standing to the side, was also hearing the Grandmaster's real name for the first time, and looked at him with surprise.
"Once, a powerful Titled Douluo forcibly ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, hoping to see the Soul Beast within, but in the very heart of the forest, he discovered a vast lake."
The Grandmaster slowly opened his mouth and explained to the two of them:
"And by the lake, a massive black shadow was drinking water; it was none other than the Titan Giant Ape, Soul Beast that was at least 60,000 years old."
"Upon seeing the Titan Giant Ape, this Titled Douluo seemed intent on engaging it in battle, but..."
The Grandmaster paused, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, and his tone changed slightly as he spoke:
"But just as the Titled Douluo was about to make his move, the calm, vast lake suddenly began to surge, and then a bull's head with the body of a python emerged from it."
"His body exceeded a hundred meters in length, and his terrifying aura immediately caused even Titled Douluo to panic."
"Even the Titan Giant Ape by the lake showed fear; that was the true emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest: the Sky Azure Bull Python!"
After the Sky Azure Bull Python appeared, its gaze fell on the Titled Douluo, and it actually spoke in human language, "Human, I see you have no end to your cultivation, you should leave now."
"With the departure of that Titled Douluo, a small number of people learned about the situation within the Star Dou Great Forest."
"And I am one of the people in the know."
Flender and Zhao Wuji were shocked when they heard the Grandmaster speak.
They never expected that there would be such a terrifying Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.
A body exceeding 100 meters in length—how many years and how powerful would that be?
"So, if you're not mistaken, that roar that terrified the Titan Giant Ape must have been the voice of the Sky Azure Bull Python."
"I see..."
Having learned about the Star Dou Great Forest from the Grandmaster, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but take this renowned Grandmaster of the Soul Master World seriously.
Although the Grandmaster himself was relatively weak, his knowledge and the secret information he knew were truly extraordinary.
"What about the legs of those Man Faced Demon Spider on Tang San's body?"
Flender's gaze fell on the Grandmaster, and he asked curiously.
After learning everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest from Zhao Wuji, the Grandmaster's face showed a hint of excitement, and he said:
"I can't be sure yet; I'll have to wait until I see Little San to know. But... if that's the case, Tang San's gains will be enormous, perhaps even surpassing his Soul Ring..."
Flender nodded, then looked at Zhao Wuji and said:
"Wuji, you've been traveling all day. Go back and get some rest today..."
"OK."
Zhao Wuji smiled, nodded to the two of them, and left.
"Ah, all these years, I've been so grateful for the support of these old friends."
Flender's gaze fell on the Grandmaster, and he spoke:
"So, Xiao Gang, I'm so glad you're back this time. I still really miss the days when the three of us adventured together..."
"But people change, we're getting old..." the Grandmaster said calmly.
" Xiao Gang, did you really put it there? You know, she..."
"Shut up!"
The Grandmaster suddenly became agitated, and the two argued endlessly in Flender's office.
Meanwhile, back at the Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong had something to discuss with Tang San, so they went aside to talk.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun seemed to have completely let go, and they walked together towards Suotuo City, vaguely hearing something about "twins"...
Compared to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who were completely letting loose, Xiao Yan and Oscar went straight back to their rooms to rest.
Just as Xiao Yan was resting, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and Xiao Yan frowned deeply.
This time, it wasn't because the time had come that brought the two versions of themselves together.
Rather... it's... another version of myself from another world, the version of myself that Battle Through the Heavens World, calling out to myself!
This has never happened before!
