Star Dou Great Forest, Cherish Those Before You!

Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

A red crest larger than its head grew from its crown, while the tip of its tail spread out like a fan.

A pair of pale red wings also grew from its back.

The moment it appeared, everyone attacked at once.

In an instant, the long serpent was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.

Just as Oscar was about to make his move, an angry shout rang out from afar.

"Stop!"

Before long, two figures, one old and one young, rushed over.

They were Snake Woman and Meng Yiran, who had been tracking the serpent for a long time.

Meng Yiran stood gracefully, and she was very beautiful.

She had large brown eyes and long eyelashes.

At sixteen, her figure was well-proportioned, full and rounded, with a waist as supple as a water snake's.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun stared until their eyes went wide.

Zhao Wuji and Snake Woman immediately began arguing.

In the end, they decided to determine the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's ownership through a contest.

Then Tang San took the initiative to speak.

"Teacher Zhao, let me fight in Oscar's place. My Soul Power is level twenty-nine, so it wouldn't count as taking advantage."

After saying that, he glanced toward Xiao Wu from the corner of his eye.

Chen Feng had been stealing the spotlight all along the way. It was time for him to show off his strength too!

Nominally, this is for Oscar, but it can also let Xiao Wu see my worth again!

Having lived two lives, Tang San was extremely calculating in his actions.

Xiao Wu! She must be mine! After all these years together, how could she so easily turn to Chen Feng's side!

He secretly swore that he would make Xiao Wu his dearest little sister!

Perhaps... taking things a step further would not be impossible either!

The next second, Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement.

Tang San's heart jolted, and he strode forward in large steps!

But how could this escape Chen Feng's notice?

He already knew the coming developments like the back of his hand.

But Tang San and Xiao Wu's feelings would not be so easily torn apart!

Chen Feng would not blindly underestimate an opponent.

In Xiao Wu's heart, the few short days she had spent with him likely could not compare to Tang San's years of companionship.

But time was pressing for Chen Feng as well!

If nothing went wrong on this trip, Tang San would obtain a Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Soul Bone!

His strength would rise to another level!

That alone would have been one thing, but Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was also going to join Shrek Academy!

The pressure on Chen Feng was truly immense!

If he delayed any longer, when would he become a powerhouse of the continent?

The winds and clouds of Douluo Continent were ever-changing.

How could his grandfather, Sword Douluo, be certain of preserving his life in the coming conflicts?

If the situation worsened, Sword Douluo might well join forces with Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect again!

Then everything he had done would be in vain!

Chen Feng took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Wu beside him, and said, "Xiao Wu, what skill do you think Oscar will gain after absorbing the Soul Ring?"

"Ah?" Xiao Wu looked stunned. "Hasn't the contest not even started yet?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly at that.

"Little San won't have any problems. I believe in him."

"By the way, speaking of that, why does Little San's gaze toward me seem so strange lately?"

Xiao Wu's eyes went blank, her lips moved faintly, and she looked as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.

"What is it?" Chen Feng asked with a warm smile, pretending to be puzzled.

In his plan, earning Xiao Wu's favor was only the first step.

The second step was to drive a wedge between Tang San and Xiao Wu!

Hearing this, Xiao Wu did not suspect anything. After hesitating for a moment, she finally made up her mind and said softly, "I don't know why, but I feel like Third Brother has been acting strange lately. It seems like... he has some issue with you."

"Hm?" Chen Feng feigned surprise. "Why? Is it because of you?"

In truth, although Xiao Wu had rarely interacted with Soul Masters,

she had spent many years in the human world and was not completely ignorant.

Given enough time, she would always notice that something was off.

"Maybe it is because of me," Xiao Wu said quietly.

"Ever since the day we awakened our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Third Brother's mood has been strange."

"Not until Rong Rong reminded me last night did I suddenly realize that Third Brother seems to care about me a lot."

Chen Feng sneered inwardly.

Little Witch! As expected of you!

You really don't mind stirring up trouble every day.

But you definitely never imagined that all of this was within my expectations!

"It's fine. We can find an opportunity to explain things to each other."

Chen Feng spoke softly.

He did not choose to force Xiao Wu into making a choice.

Instead, he acted open and upright, and the effect was immediate!

"Mm!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded obediently, a trace of sweetness rising in her heart.

With Feng Ge by her side, it seemed like she did not need to worry about anything!

Soon, the battle between Tang San and Meng Yiran ended.

But what followed made everyone's blood run hot.

Because of the thorns on the Blue Silver Grass, Meng Yiran's tight outfit had been riddled with holes.

Quite a few alluring places were faintly visible.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun opened their eyes even wider.

As if he had expected it, Chen Feng kept his gaze fixed on Xiao Wu.

That simple gesture made another trace of favor rise in Xiao Wu's heart.

"You're not looking? The other boys' eyes are practically falling out!" Xiao Wu asked with a giggle.

Chen Feng put on a righteous expression and said seriously, "What's there to look at? Cherishing the one before you is more important."

"Hmph! Smooth talker!" Xiao Wu blinked. "No wonder even Sister Zhu Qing said you're a love expert!"

"Zhu Qing said that about me? She's courting death!" Chen Feng said, pretending to be angry.

"Hehe..." Xiao Wu could not help laughing.

Unfortunately, that favor was still just a little short of becoming love!

In the arena.

How could Meng Yiran accept such humiliation? Killing intent rose in her heart.

A two-foot-long Snake Blade shot forth, and she clashed with Tang San.

However, just as expected, the battle ended quickly.

The two were separated, and Snake Woman left with her unconscious granddaughter.

Tang San, meanwhile, turned back proudly with a smile on his face.

After that battle, Xiao Wu should see him in a new light, right?

But when he turned around, his eyes nearly popped out.

The Xiao Wu he had been thinking about day and night was actually flirting with Chen Feng and had not even noticed that the battle here was over!

Anger surged in Tang San's heart.

Chen Feng! Just you wait!

At the same time, he could not help reminiscing about the past.

If Grandmaster had been here, he definitely would have given him plenty of advice.

The sky gradually darkened.

After Meng Yiran and Snake Woman left, Oscar began absorbing the Soul Ring under everyone's protection.

More than half an hour later, Oscar finished absorbing it and became a level thirty-one Soul Elder.

"I have a Mushroom Sausage!"

As he shouted the soul incantation, a mushroom-shaped sausage appeared in Oscar's hand...

And its effect was extremely powerful: one minute of flight!

Just as Zhao Wuji was preparing to lead everyone back, Tang San suddenly said, "Teacher Zhao, we can't go back yet!"

Then, amid everyone's shocked expressions, Tang San revealed that his Soul Power had already reached level thirty.

Everyone was dumbfounded. A twelve-year-old level thirty Soul Elder?
