The Titan Giant Ape Er Ming Arrives

"Little San, do you know this guy? Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask.

Tang San seemed to know that Xiao Wu was in an awkward situation, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Lin Qingchen, my classmate and Xiao Wu's classmate at the Nuoding Academy."

"Lin Qingchen, these are my current classmates: Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and this is our Shrek Academy teacher, Teacher Zhao Wuji."

Lin Qingchen nodded slightly, which was his way of greeting him.

Ma Hongjun leaned closer to Dai Mubai and whispered, "Boss Dai, isn't this guy named Lin Qingchen a bit too arrogant? What's the big deal about just nodding?"

Dai Mubai was also a little uncomfortable, but considering that Tang San knew the other party, he didn't say anything for the time being.

"Lin Qingchen, what are you doing here in the Star Dou Great Forest all by yourself?"

"This Star Dou Great Forest isn't your private property, so who can tell me what I'm doing here? Besides, if it weren't necessary, who would want to come to such a desolate place?" Lin Qingchen said calmly.

Hearing this answer, Tang San wasn't surprised. What else could he be doing in the Star Dou Great Ginseng Forest besides Soul Hunting?

However, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He had assumed that since the other party had broken through to level 20 later than him (in reality, it was just that Lin Qingchen had suppressed his ability to absorb Soul Rings ), his talent should not be as good as his. Moreover, he had left the academy and had teachers to guide him, so he should have far surpassed the other party.

But now he's still at the same cultivation level as me...

(Lin Qingchen: Not the same cultivation level)

"Hunting for the Third Soul Ring? Well, congratulations on breaking through level 30." Tang San composed himself and offered his congratulations with forced politeness.

Hearing this, Lin Qingchen didn't react much, but Zhao Wuji became restless.

He looked intently at Lin Qingchen, as if trying to memorize his image.

He was in the same class as Tang San before, so he was only 12 years old then?

Reaching level 30 at the age of twelve is absolutely monstrous; even among them, few can compare.

No, we have to find a way to trick (cough cough, scratch that)... and recruit him into our Shrek Academy.

The others behind him were also taken aback by Tang San's words.

"What? He broke through to level 30 at the age of twelve?"

Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise.

He thought Tang San's talent was already strong enough, so how come there was someone here who was just as fast as him?

Zhu Zhuqing was also startled, and she became even more envious of these geniuses who cultivated so quickly.

Ning Rongrong frowned as she looked at Lin Qingchen, wondering if the name sounded familiar. Had she heard it somewhere before?

It turned out that although she had never been to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the past two years, Ning Fengzhi had mentioned Lin Qingchen's name to her more than once, but she hadn't paid any attention at the time, so she hadn't remembered it and only had a vague impression of it.

"Alright, you all get some rest. I won't bother you any longer. See you again sometime." Lin Qingchen had no intention of talking to them any longer and turned to leave.

Zhao Wuji quickly reached out his hand. "Wait, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed, and he felt a sense of oppression rising from his heart.

"Watch out, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and fierce aura rose from Zhao Wuji's body. With a low roar, he directly summoned his Martial Soul, the Great Strength Vajra Bear, which instantly possessed him.

The others also got moving. After a short period of fighting side by side, they had developed some coordination and quickly formed a simple formation, each summoning their own Martial Soul.

On the other side, Lin Qingchen also sensed the change in elemental power in the distance, instantly became alert, and summoned his Five Elements Qilin Martial Soul to possess him.

At this moment, in his vision, the earth element in the distance was slowly becoming denser, which was very obvious in the Star Dou Great Forest, which was filled with wood energy.

"Tsk, is it really that coincidental? I ran into Titan Giant Ape on my first try. Is fate playing tricks on me?" Lin Qingchen sighed inwardly.

However, things have come to this point, and running away is not so easy anymore. After all, with the cultivation of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, even if the opponent is not good at speed, he may not be able to outrun the opponent just by strength. Moreover, at this time, the first one to run away will definitely become a target.

Suddenly, the two tall trees slowly parted to the sides, and a huge figure emerged silently from them.

It was a creature the size of a small mountain, its jet-black fur shimmering faintly in the dim starlight and firelight.

Although it is now on all fours, its shoulder height is definitely over twenty meters.

(Because the original description of this guy's size was too small, I exaggerated it a bit. After all, a giant tree in a rainforest environment that is less than ten meters tall is too ridiculous. I even think that 20 meters is too small. I seriously doubt that this guy was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast when he first appeared.)

Upon seeing this enormous creature, Zhao Wuji and his group felt as if they were being gripped by an invisible giant hand, their breathing becoming heavy.

"King of the Forest... Titan Giant Ape..."

Tang San murmured the name.

The Titan Giant Ape first glanced at Lin Qingchen in the distance, then fixed its gaze on Xiao Wu.

He came here, naturally, to take Xiao Wu back, since he and Da Ming missed each other very much.

But this one look made Zhao Wuji break out in a cold sweat.

He forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending you. If this is your territory, we are willing to withdraw immediately."

After all, this Titan Giant Ape is so enormous that it must be highly skilled and able to understand human speech.

Upon hearing this, Er Ming glanced at him, then ignored him and took a step towards Xiao Wu.

But at this very moment, Zhao Wuji suddenly shouted, "You all go! I'll hold it off. Remember, no matter what happens, don't look back!"

After saying that, his Seventh Soul Ring lit up, his Martial Soul Avatar was activated, and he instantly transformed into the form of Great Strength Vajra Bear, charging towards the Titan Giant Ape.

The other Soul Rings also lit up, clearly indicating that he had used all his strength to hold off the opponent for a while.

In the distance, Lin Qingchen sighed.

Putting aside any special biases surrounding Shrek Academy, these teachers actually fulfilled their duties as educators, at least much better than anthropomorphic beings like Xuan Zi from ten thousand years in the future.

However, this is irrelevant to him for the time being.

He was about to run away, since he already knew these people wouldn't be in any danger.

This is why he didn't leave immediately, but instead chatted with Tang San and the others for a while.

However, before Lin Qingchen could take a step, Er Ming suddenly paused, and then his large yellow eyes looked over.
