Hundred Thousand Years, Titan Giant Ape

After leaving the Holy Academy, the seven people traveled west in a carriage, their destination being the Star Dou Great Forest.

This was also a special arrangement by Yu Xiaogang, intended to train Tang San and the others.

Yu Xiaogang knew that Wang Feng possessed astonishing combat power, not only because of his own Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but also because of his training in the Star Dou Great Forest.

This kind of training involves life-or-death crises and tests a person's true strength, both in terms of temperament and will, even more than a simple duel between Soul Master.

It took the seven of them a full half month to reach the Star Dou Great Forest, even while traveling at full speed.

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Soul Beast can be seen everywhere, but generally, the Soul Beast here are not very strong.

"Teacher, let's try it out this time!"

Tang San suddenly glanced at Wang Feng, then looked at Yu Xiaogang and said.

Yu Xiaogang nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking too. It'll be a good opportunity for the three of you to get some experience; it will be invaluable for you."

Dai Mubai was already eager to try, his eyes scanning the surroundings, searching for prey.

Wang Feng calmly watched them, saying nothing, and simply followed quietly behind.

The further the seven went, the stronger the Soul Beast they encountered became, and they were frequently attacked by Soul Beast. The three fought under the guidance of Yu Xiaogang.

Tang San and Dai Mubai acted decisively and with precise vision, each strike hitting the vital points of the Soul Beast. In contrast, Xiao Wu, the violent female student who caused headaches for many in the inner academy, seemed helpless when facing the Soul Beast.

It's unclear whether she was hesitant to act because it was her first time facing such a situation, or if there was some hidden reason.

They encountered many Soul Beasts that attacked them along the way. Tang San and Dai Mubai cherished this opportunity, but Xiao Wu didn't really fight back.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Why aren't you using your full strength every time? You need to know that if you're facing an enemy, you could die if you show weakness."

Yu Xiaogang frowned and looked at Xiao Wu, speaking sternly.

Xiao Wu's eyes flickered, and her hesitant expression suggested that she had something difficult to say.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

Liu Erlong, somewhat concerned, took Xiao Wu's hand and asked.

Xiao Wu looked up at Liu Erlong, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why do we have to kill those Soul Beasts? If the number of Soul Beast decreases, won't it become even more difficult for Soul Master to obtain Soul Ring in the future?"

"This..." Liu Erlong was somewhat at a loss for words when Wang Feng said, "Survival of the fittest, that's how the world is. Whether it's the world of Soul Beast or the world of Soul Master, death happens every day. This isn't something anyone can change by their own power. Besides, if you're no match for a Soul Beast, do you think it will let you live?"

"You!" Xiao Wu glared at Wang Feng, somewhat angry.

Wang Feng smiled slightly and didn't say much. Although he also thought that excessive killing was wrong, it didn't mean that Soul Master couldn't intercept and kill Soul Beast except to obtain Soul Ring.

You have to understand that ordinary people in remote areas have no Soul Master to protect them. If they face attacks from Soul Beast, they will only lose their lives. Who would care about them?

Perhaps influenced by Xiao Wu, Tang San and his companions stopped hunting Soul Beast indiscriminately, unless those Soul Beasts were relentlessly pursuing them and refused to give up.

That day, the number of Soul Beast they encountered as they traveled suddenly began to decrease.

Many of the Soul Beast even ran away before they could get close, which puzzled them greatly.

"The aura of Titled Douluo shouldn't be released so subtly!" Wang Feng frowned slightly. He naturally knew that Yue Guan and Gui Mei were secretly following, and his teacher was probably there as well.

But they didn't need to scare these Soul Beast like that, and even if it really was them, it was impossible for Flender and Liu Erlong to be completely unaware of it.

Wang Feng looked around but didn't find anything unusual.

But at that moment, an unusually terrifying aura suddenly appeared, and a powerful pressure descended from the sky, landing on the group and instantly making it difficult for the seven of them to breathe.

A huge shadow suddenly loomed over them. Everyone stared intently and saw a colossal figure appear before them, its body as large as a mountain. It stood in the forest, its head peeking out from the treetops, its size breathtaking.

Its dark fur shimmered faintly in the dim starlight and moonlight, and despite being on all fours, it was still incredibly tall.

It was a being that resembled both an ape and a chimpanzee. Its seemingly calm face gave off an immense sense of oppression, making people afraid to look directly at it. The terrifying pressure rendered everyone unable to move, and the slightest movement caused excruciating pain throughout their bodies, as if they were being torn apart.

"Tang San, Mubai, we'll hold it off. You two leave quickly, get out of the Star Dou Great Forest first," Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice. Flender and Liu Erlong immediately understood. Under immense pressure, the three adjusted their positions, forcibly released their Martial Soul, and used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Tang San and his companions were ready to leave at any time.

Wang Feng frowned, still not moving. He knew very well the aura emanating from the large creature in front of him; it was definitely a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

If you really kill these Soul Beasts, they won't be able to escape even with their abilities; doing anything else will be futile.

Just then, the Soul Beast suddenly took a step forward, a move that terrified everyone. The terrifying pressure descended upon them, making each person feel as if their heart was about to burst.

"Get ready to move!"

Yu Xiaogang gave a low, deep shout, and the three of them released their Soul Ring together.

But at that very moment, the Soul Beast suddenly reached out its hand.

"Third Brother, be careful!"

Standing behind Tang San, Xiao Wu shouted and pulled Tang San behind her, while she herself launched herself forward, heading towards the Soul Beast.

"Xiao Wu, no! Come back!" Tang San shouted urgently, but it was too late.

"Do it!" Yu Xiaogang shouted as well, not daring to wait any longer, otherwise Xiao Wu might be in trouble.

Tang San and Dai Mubai also attacked, but how much damage could their attacks do to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? The Soul Beast raised its huge hand and stretched it forward, grabbing Xiao Wu in its hand and turning to leave, as if its only target was Xiao Wu.

"No... let go of Xiao Wu!" Tang San suddenly roared, his eyes bloodshot, and he leaped out using the tree branch as a springboard, chasing after the direction the Soul Beast had gone.

"Little San, come back!" Yu Xiaogang shouted, but it was to no avail.

"That's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the forest! We absolutely cannot let anything happen to Xiaoshan!"

Yu Xiaogang turned around and looked at Flender and the other man.

"Titan Giant Ape!"

Upon hearing this name, both Flender and Liu Erlong were greatly shocked, for that was the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even Titled Douluo might not be willing to fight with the Titan Giant Ape.

However, they knew Tang San's importance and what Tang San meant to Yu Xiaogang. Given their relationship, they couldn't ignore the matter.

"Mubai, let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest first. We'll discuss the Soul Ring together after we bring Tang San back," Yu Xiaogang said to Dai Mubai.

"I understand, Dean." Dai Mubai nodded. Although he also wanted to go and find Tang San, he knew even more clearly that with his strength, going there would only cause trouble and wouldn't be of any help. It was better to leave first.

"Leave here, or no one can save your life!" Dai Mubai said coldly to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't die. After all, I didn't provoke Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Since you can't continue, then don't bother coming any further!" With that, Wang Feng turned and left, disappearing in a few leaps.

Yu Xiaogang and the others stared at the direction where Wang Feng disappeared, their brows slightly furrowed. Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking. After a moment, he set off in the direction Tang San had chased after. Flender and the other hurriedly followed, while Dai Mubai turned and headed towards the outer perimeter.
