Meng Yiran possessed the Serpent Cane Martial Soul and had plenty of contact with snake-type Soul Beasts in her daily life. Her Martial Soul techniques also imitated snakes.
The moves Chu Feng had just used were clearly snake-style techniques.
"Want to learn? I can teach you," Chu Feng said with a smile.
[Defeated an A-rank genius. Gold Soul Coins +10,000]
He hadn't expected Meng Yiran to be an A-rank genius.
Defeating an A-rank genius not only earned him the corresponding badge, but also ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Hearing Chu Feng's words, Meng Yiran froze slightly.
As she looked at the gentle smile on Chu Feng's handsome face, Meng Yiran's little face flushed faintly.
"My granddaughter doesn't need you to teach her!" Snake Granny said, stepping in front of Meng Yiran.
Could this brat have taken a fancy to my granddaughter?
Although this brat was a genius, she wouldn't accept her granddaughter dating at this stage.
"I'll remember what happened today." With that, Snake Granny left with Meng Yiran.
Chu Feng watched the two leave, feeling a little regretful.
Such a good tool person. Why did she have to leave?
"Boss, got your eye on her?" Oscar's sleazy voice drifted over.
Without even looking, Chu Feng gave Oscar a knock on the head.
"Let's keep moving. This Soul Beast isn't suitable for you."
The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent wasn't compatible with Tang San and the others, so they still had to find new Soul Beasts.
"Then what about this snake? Kill it?" Dai Mubai asked, pointing at the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, which had already lain flat and resigned itself to death.
Chu Feng glanced at Xiao Wu. Seeing the look of pity on her face, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It's not our target. Let it go."
"Sure." No one had any objections.
They weren't short of one Soul Beast.
As for the materials on the Soul Beast's body, none of those present were short of that little bit of money.
Xiao Wu stole a cautious glance at Chu Feng and gave him a grateful smile.
"Go on, little snakey. Don't come out and scare people next time." Xiao Wu patted the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's body.
The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent immediately drew back and retreated, fleeing at full speed.
"Hehe, if I didn't already have my third Soul Ring, this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent would be pretty suitable for me." Oscar stroked his chin as he watched the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent fly into the distance.
"Isn't your current third Soul Ring better than this one? The boss even picked it for you," Dai Mubai said with some envy.
When he had reached level thirty, he hadn't had Chu Feng guiding him in obtaining a Soul Ring.
He hadn't cultivated the Martial Dao either, and the Soul Ring he had absorbed hadn't been as old as Oscar's.
Fortunately, he would have Chu Feng guiding him at level forty.
"Are the Soul Rings Boss Chu picks really that good?" Tang San asked curiously.
Soul Rings were extremely important to Soul Masters.
Not only did their attributes have to be compatible, but they also had to choose ones as old as possible.
Choosing the wrong Soul Ring would greatly diminish their strength.
"Of course." Dai Mubai nodded firmly.
"You still don't know this, but Boss Chu is the true grandmaster of Soul Master theory."
"Guess how old Little Ao's third Soul Ring is?" Dai Mubai nudged Oscar.
"Seventeen hundred years," Tang San answered directly.
Yu Xiaogang had told him this age limit. It was the maximum age a level-thirty Soul Master could absorb.
No matter how capable Chu Feng was, he couldn't disregard Oscar's physical condition. Oscar couldn't absorb a Soul Ring older than that limit.
"No, it's six thousand years!" Dai Mubai announced a shocking number.
At those words, everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Oscar and Chu Feng in disbelief.
"Six thousand years!" Zhao Wuji couldn't help exclaiming. He strode up to Oscar and patted him with his thick palm.
"You brat, your third Soul Ring is six thousand years old, and you didn't tell me?"
As Oscar's teacher, he hadn't even known that Chu Feng had helped Oscar obtain a six-thousand-year-old third Soul Ring.
Even some level-fifty Soul Kings might not possess a Soul Ring of that age.
Besides, how had Oscar absorbed this Soul Ring?
How had he not burst to death?
"Hehe, Boss Chu said I shouldn't tell people casually."
Oscar raised his head, looking immensely pleased with himself.
Holding back for so long had been hard on him too.
Being unable to show off felt awful.
Tang San's body gave a sudden shudder as he looked at Chu Feng.
Six thousand years-over four thousand years beyond the limit Yu Xiaogang had described.
That was no ordinary gap.
What intrigued Tang San most was how Chu Feng had helped Oscar successfully absorb a Soul Ring of such an advanced age.
After all, the older a Soul Ring was, the more dangerous it was to absorb.
Without reaching a certain level, one's Soul Power wouldn't be sufficient to absorb it.
One's spiritual power wouldn't be able to resist the Soul Beast's lingering resentment on the Soul Ring either.
Even he had never considered absorbing a Soul Ring older than two thousand years.
"Boss Chu, how did you do it?" Tang San voiced his question.
The others also wore expressions eager for instruction.
"You'll know when we encounter a suitable Soul Beast." Chu Feng put his index finger to his lips, gesturing for secrecy.
"Then let's hurry and find Soul Beasts!" Ning Rongrong called out sweetly.
As a support-type Soul Master, if she could obtain an older Soul Beast as her Soul Ring, her support abilities would improve enormously.
She also wanted to know Chu Feng's secret to absorbing older Soul Rings.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help stealing a few more looks at Chu Feng.
How did this guy have so much I didn't know about?
"Why don't you take a look at the sky? The Star Dou Great Forest isn't somewhere you can wander around at night." Chu Feng looked up at the sun, which was about to set.
Time really flew. Night had come so soon.
Just as Chu Feng was thinking about where to set up camp, violent tremors came from the ground.
"Little Feng, get them out of here!" Zhao Wuji instantly stepped in front of everyone and turned to growl at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng glanced at the tense Xiao Wu and nodded.
"Turn around and run. Don't talk."
"Oscar, hand out the flight mushrooms."
Without asking any questions, Oscar immediately summoned flight mushrooms and distributed them to everyone.
Though they wondered what had happened, they quickly ate the mushrooms.
They summoned the wings on their backs and flew back the way they had come.
But before they could fly far, more than a dozen enormous trees fell from the sky, crashing down onto the path ahead of them.
Everyone hurriedly stopped.
An enormous dark silhouette blotted out the sun and crashed down in front of them.
Chu Feng looked over. An enormous ape over ten meters tall, like a small mountain, slowly stood up, its golden-glowing eyes staring straight at them.
In a flash, Zhao Wuji returned to the front of the group, his expression grave.
"Titan Giant Ape!"
Hearing the Soul Beast's identity, Tang San and the others trembled inwardly and nearly fell out of the air.
Chu Feng took out a badge. If Er Ming really wanted a fight, he wouldn't just stand around waiting.
"Chu Feng, take them away."
"Martial Soul Avatar!" Zhao Wuji roared, swinging his fists as he charged straight at the Titan Giant Ape.
He knew reasoning with a Soul Beast on the Titan Giant Ape's level was useless.
The conflict between humans and Soul Beasts was now one that would not end until death.
He had to strike first and hold the Titan Giant Ape back to give Chu Feng and the others time to escape.
