The Four-Eyed Cat Owl's Name is Loud, But Ultimately Still a Soul Saint!

When Chao Tianxiang saw Meng Shu, it was as if she had found her pillar of support, and her voice trembled faintly.

"Old man, you finally came!"

"We... we ran into a spirit beast called the Titan Giant Ape."

"That spirit beast was too powerful."

"To cover the children's retreat, the three of us joined forces, but in the end..."

After that, she went on to tell him about the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, Oscar, and the rest.

Flender forced himself to stand and nodded to Meng Shu.

"Senior Dragon Duke."

Zhao Wuji also greeted him.

"Senior Dragon Duke."

Chao Tianxiang hurried forward.

"Yiran!"

Dragon Duke, Flender, and the others immediately followed.

Not far away, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Meng Yiran, and Tang San lay sprawled across the ground, unconscious.

Chao Tianxiang rushed to Meng Yiran's side and placed her fingers on her wrist.

A moment later, she let out a breath of relief.

"Thank goodness. She was only knocked unconscious by the shockwave."

"She should wake up after resting for a while."

Just then, Tang San's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His vision was still somewhat blurred, and his head felt as if it were splitting apart.

He struggled to sit up, his anxious gaze searching the surroundings.

"Xiao Wu? Where's Xiao Wu?"

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji sighed, but still spoke.

"Xiao San, my condolences."

"Xiao Wu... was taken by that Titan Giant Ape."

Tang San's body suddenly went rigid.

Xiao Wu had been taken?

He shot to his feet, ignoring the pain in his body, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.

"Teacher, which direction did that spirit beast go?"

Zhao Wuji pointed.

"It went that way."

"Xiao San, don't be rash."

"That spirit beast is terrifying."

"Even the three of us together weren't its match."

"If you go, you'll only be throwing your life away."

Tang San ignored Zhao Wuji's words.

His eyes were fixed on the direction where the Titan Giant Ape had disappeared.

There was only one thought in his mind: he had to catch up to it, had to bring Xiao Wu back.

He abruptly turned and saw the Soul-Eating Demon Spider Dragon Duke had thrown on the ground.

Its massive body lay there, its eight eyes tightly shut.

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly.

He stepped forward and carefully examined the Soul-Eating Demon Spider.

"This spirit beast... is over two thousand years old!"

Seeing Tang San staring at his prey, Dragon Duke Meng Shu was somewhat puzzled.

What could a wet-behind-the-ears brat possibly know? And he was even saying it was over two thousand years old?

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji walked to Dragon Duke's side and lowered his voice to say a few words.

Dragon Duke's expression shifted from puzzlement to shock, then to understanding, before he gave Tang San a deep look.

Then he sighed and looked at the Soul-Eating Demon Spider on the ground.

"Alas, what a pity."

"It wasn't easy to catch a suitable one, but its age exceeds Yiran's needs."

"Kill it. There's no use keeping it."

He raised the Dragon Head Cane in his hand, preparing to end the Soul-Eating Demon Spider's life.

"Senior."

Tang San abruptly lifted his head, a trace of resolve flashing through his eyes.

"Senior Dragon Duke, could you give this soul beast to me?"

He needed strength now. Only with strength could he go into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest and bring Xiao Wu back!

"My physique is special. I should be able to absorb a soul ring beyond the age limit."

Dragon Duke frowned.

As for the soul beast itself, he did not really care.

He was not expecting a two-thousand-year soul beast to drop a soul bone anyway!

It was just that absorbing a soul ring beyond one's age limit was an extremely dangerous thing!

He did not understand why this young man dared to make such a request.

Flender was startled when he heard Tang San's words.

But after thinking about it, Tang San was Xiao Gang's disciple after all, and his personality was relatively steady. He would definitely not act recklessly!

He still spoke up.

"Since Xiao San says so, perhaps he really can."

"Senior Meng, why not let Xiao San try?"

Dragon Duke pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

"All right. In any case, you bear the consequences yourself. I'll give you this soul beast!"

Tang San did not speak. He merely bowed to Dragon Duke. Then light flashed at his waist, and a blade appeared in his hand. He stepped forward and stabbed it into the Man Faced Demon Spider's head, killing it completely!

Immediately afterward, he sat cross-legged, released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and began to guide the Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring.

The purple soul ring was filled with a savage aura, madly surging into Tang San's body...

Tang San clenched his teeth tightly as the Mysterious Heaven Skill circulated frantically, resisting that violent energy.

After a long while, he felt a tearing, agonizing pain in his back.

Pff pff pff pff—

Eight purple-black spider-leg-like things suddenly stabbed out from his back, carrying a cold, bloodthirsty aura.

A wave of soul power far beyond before erupted from Tang San. His Soul Power Level directly broke through the bottleneck of rank thirty and reached rank thirty-two!

Dragon Duke's pupils abruptly contracted, and he cried out despite himself.

"External Soul Bone!"

A storm of shock surged through his heart.

The value of an External Soul Bone far exceeded that of an ordinary soul bone.

It could grow along with a soul master's growth, a priceless treasure that could only be encountered by luck and not sought.

His breathing immediately became rapid, and greed and killing intent began to grow in his heart.

As long as he killed this young man, this External Soul Bone would be his!

Standing to the side, Zhao Wuji naturally sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Dragon Duke, and his expression changed.

Then he hurriedly sent another soul power transmission to Dragon Duke.

"Senior Dragon Duke, Xiao San is Clear Sky Douluo's child."

Dragon Duke's body shook slightly. His expression changed again and again, but in the end, he still could not bring himself to act!

"Grandma..."

Just then, Meng Yiran slowly woke, letting out a soft murmur.

"Yiran!"

Chao Tianxiang hurriedly helped her granddaughter up, and Dragon Duke also quickly walked over.

At the same time, Oscar rubbed his head and sat up as well.

"Ow, my head..."

Seeing Oscar wake up, Chao Tianxiang also said to Dragon Duke, "Old man, this is the Oscar I mentioned to you."

"This girl Yiran will have to be entrusted to him in the future."

Dragon Duke sized Oscar up. Though he looked rather disheveled, there was a clever spark between his brows, so he nodded.

The soul power fluctuations around Tang San gradually stabilized, and he let out a long breath.

Though the process had been painful, he had succeeded.

He felt the surging power inside him. That power gave him even more confidence to go after Xiao Wu.

He stood up. The Eight Spider Lances had already been withdrawn, and then he looked toward Dragon Duke.

"Senior."

"Thank you."

Dragon Duke waved his hand.

Then Tang San looked toward Flender.

"Dean, Xiao Wu... what should we do?"

Hearing that, Flender and Zhao Wuji both fell silent.

They had experienced the terror of that Titan Giant Ape for themselves.

Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang sighed.

"Child, give up."

"That Soul Beast is too strong."

"Even if the old man and I used our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Dragon-Snake Combined Strike, I'm afraid we still wouldn't be its match."

Tang San said nothing.

He knew Snake Dowager was telling the truth, but he could not give up.

He had to save Xiao Wu!

Seeing that everyone had woken, Dragon Duke turned to Meng Yiran and said, "Yiran, rest for a while first. Grandpa will take you to hunt a suitable Soul Beast later."

Tang San quietly walked over to Oscar's side.

"Little Ao, do you still have any Rapid Flight Mushroom Sausages?"

Oscar froze, then immediately understood Tang San's intention.

He nodded and asked no questions. Turning his back to the others, the aura of Soul Power surged around him!

A moment later, he handed Tang San several sausages of different colors.

"Recovery Great Sausage, Detoxification Small Sausage, and Rapid Flight Mushroom Sausage. They're all here."

Tang San took the sausages and, without the slightest hesitation, stuffed the pink Rapid Flight Mushroom Sausage into his mouth.

The next moment, wings appeared on his back, and he shot into the sky like a cannonball, flying toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest!

"Tang San!"

"Xiao San!"

Everyone was shocked.

Flender reacted the fastest and immediately said to Zhao Wuji, "Wuji, take the children and stay with Senior Dragon Duke and the others. Once Yiran has hunted her Third Soul Ring, return to the academy at once."

"I'm going to find Xiao San!"

After saying that, Flender entered Martial Soul Possession. Cat Eagle wings spread from his back, and he chased after Tang San.

However, right then, a petite figure ran out from the depths of the forest in a rather sorry state.

It was Xiao Wu.

Her clothes were somewhat torn and stained with a little mud, but she seemed to be in good spirits.

Even more astonishing was that the fluctuation of Soul Power around her had clearly already reached rank thirty-one!

"Xiao Wu!"

Everyone was both shocked and delighted.

Tang San saw Xiao Wu from midair and froze as well. Then he quickly turned back, landed beside her, grabbed her hand, and said anxiously, "Xiao Wu, how are you? That Titan Giant Ape..."

Xiao Wu shook her head, a trace of confusion on her face.

"I don't know what happened either."

"When I woke up, I was in a tree hollow, and that big gorilla was gone."

"There were also several unconscious Thousand Year Soul Beasts lying beside me."

"So I just killed one with attributes that were barely suitable, absorbed the Soul Ring, and hurried back..."

After hearing Xiao Wu finish, everyone was stunned.

What on earth was going on?

The Titan Giant Ape had taken Xiao Wu away not to hurt her, but to give her a Soul Ring?

That idea was far too unbelievable.

Flender came back to himself and looked at Xiao Wu, who had returned safe and sound. His heart eased with relief.

Good. If Xiao San had chased after her and something unexpected had happened, he would have...

Now that they had all obtained their soul rings, it was best to hurry up and leave, lest another accident occur!

Then Flender turned and said to Dragon Duke, "Senior Dragon Duke."

"Since I have a group of children with me, why don't I take my disciples back to Suotuo City first?"

Dragon Duke nodded.

Although Serpent Grandmother had previously said they should help catch a Thousand Year Soul Beast for Yiran, now that he was here, why go to all that trouble?

"Very well. You may head back first."

"Once my old woman and I take Yiran to hunt down her soul ring, we will personally send her to your Shrek Academy to enroll."

When Flender heard Dragon Duke's words, a smile appeared on his face.

"Then we will wait in Suotuo City and respectfully welcome the arrival of you two seniors!"

"By the way, the Suotuo City Auction House has quite a few good things recently. Senior, you should make haste."

Dragon Duke gave a noncommittal wave of his hand, then turned and left with Serpent Grandmother and Meng Yiran.

An auction house? For a Soul Douluo like himself, what good things could there be?

Flender's title as the Four-Eyed Cat Owl was indeed resounding, but in the end, his horizons were still those of a Soul Saint!
