The old woman smiled faintly, saying: Actually we first found this Spirit beast and follow it.
At this time Oscar say but we didn't see following you or your Grand daughter how can be belovied....
"Young man, no need to worry. Take a look at this Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent's flank, there are two bruises. They are injuries caused by my walking stick, furthermore under the wings. Only carelessness let this slippery little fellow escape. This granddaughter just reached thirtieth rank and needs this spirit ring. You also saw that she has inherited my Tool Spirit Serpent Cane. High level serpent type spirits are even more suitable for her."
That why we come here, for you all to capture this spirit beast and allowed my grand daughter to help her we can also help you in finding spirit beast that you want, After my grand daughter absorption was complete I will give you the direction, After which she looked towards all the children.
Listening Zhao Wuji smiled coldly,
"Senior, I have not yet consulted for your name?"
The old woman said:
"How embarrassing, this old woman is Chao Tian-Xiang[1]. Ignorant Spirit Master realm friends show respect, giving me the name Serpent Grandmother[2]. My husband is Meng Shu[3], known as the Dragon Duke[4]. This time coming to Star Dou Great Forest is in order to give our granddaughter a suitable third spirit ring. I see by the age of these children at your side that they are not too likely to be able to absorb a thousand year spirit ring.
To Chao Tian-Xiang's eyes, among these children before her, the oldest Dai Mubai still must be a bit younger than her granddaughter, and she also had confidence in her granddaughter's strength, fundamentally unable to believe that these children before them were able to reach thirtieth rank before her granddaughter.
Hearing the old woman's introduction, Zhao Wuji was startled. Restraining Oscar at his side wanting to speak up, in a low voice he said:
"Could you be the Unrivalled Dragon Serpent's[5] senior Serpent Grandmother?"
Chao Tian-Xiang smiled calmly,
"How embarrassing, just so. I have not yet consulted for Spirit Sage's name?"
The expression on Zhao Wuji's face changed slightly, he had heard of the name Unrivalled Dragon Serpent before. This husband and wife had started out long ago with strength out of the ordinary, especially the Dragon Duke Meng Shu. When he heard of him, that Dragon Duke was already at the Spirit Sage level. Even if he had by now already reached the Spirit Douluo realm he would still not feel surprised.
The Dragon Duke's spirit was a Dragon Headed Cane,[6] with Serpent Grandmother's Serpent Headed Cane[7] they brought out the best in each other, the husband and wife pair had an extremely overpowering spirit harmonization ability. Without Title Douluo strength it would be difficult to resist.
Zhao Wuji was only a Spirit Sage. Even if this Serpent Grandmother before him looked a bit weaker than him, it could be that the Dragon Duke would appear. A Dragon Duke was not something he could handle.
The Unrivalled Dragon Serpent relationship was superb, the husband and wife never separated. Serpent Grandmother being here, presumably meant Dragon Duke would also not be far away.
"I am the humble Zhao Wuji."
Immediately, the expression on Zhao Wuji's face softened somewhat, announcing his name.
Chao Tian-Xiang's expression also changed slightly,
"No wonder, I said how could one randomly come across such a young Spirit Sage. It was the formerly so famous in the Spirit Master realm Motionless Bright King."
Zhao Wuji with a somewhat awkward smile thought in his heart, this renown of his in the Spirit Master Realm, probably only was infamy.
Zhao Wuji smiling said:
"You flatter me, in those days I was still considered notorious. However for these years living in seclusion, at an academy teaching students, this time I've brought these children to Star Dou Great Forest. One reason is for one of them to gain a spirit ring, another is also bringing them out to see the world. I did not expect that we would come across senior."
Chao Tian-Xiang also had not expected to be entangled with Zhao Wuji, and directly broached the subject:
"I am a bit older than you. I trust being a bit older, I can call you brother Zhao.
Zhao Wuji showed an embarrassed expression.
Zhao Wuji smiled slightly, saying: Senior please advise these students, they will soon reach rank 30, we also first decided to absorbed it, but our student didn't want a serpant but a poision type soul beast so that why we readyly agreed to handover the serphant to senior...
Chao Tian-Xiang stared blankly a moment,
"You are saying, of these students, one has already attained thirtieth ranked Spirit Master?"
Zhao Wuji nodded.
Chao Tian-Xiang in her heart was alarmed, of these young boys and girls before her it would seem the oldest was still only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the majority still appeared twelve or thirteen years old. If saying someone among them had already reached thirtieth rank, then wouldn't it be saying they were even more innately talented than her granddaughter?
Thinking of this, Chao Tian-Xiang's face revealed an expression not daring to be confident, gaze directly falling on the one appearing to be oldest, the appearance brave and extraordinary Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai.
Zhao Wuji said with a smile:
"If senior doesn't believe it, how about this, I will have these children also reveal their spirits to let senior have a look. Shrek minions, use your spirits, brighten your spirit rings to show this senior Serpent Grandmother."
At once under Zhao Wuji's order, everyone released their spirit.
Among them, after Oscar and Tang San's spirits released, only spirit rings appeared over their bodies, their spirits were not something that could be seen by others.
Tang San did not want to let his Blue Silver Grass appear, but could directly let it crawl along the ground. As for Oscar's Sausage, without spirit incantations it would not casually appear.
And because the other four had Beast Spirits, they all revealed their strength at once, simultaneously completing Spirit Body Enhancement.
Immediately, appearing before Serpent Grandmother was the shimmering radiance of all the six young boys and girls spirit rings, each one had two signifying hundred year yellow spirit rings, Dai Mubai, Oscar and Xiao Wu even had one more purple thousand year spirit ring.
This sight, could indeed shock Serpent Grandmother Chao Tian-Xiang's heart.
'How is this possible?' This was Chao Tian-Xiang's first thought.
Before her these varying between twelve to fifteen year old children, unexpectedly all already possessed Spirit Grandmaster level or more, that looking like oldest, unexpectedly already possessed three spirit rings. And also, each of their spirit rings quality was so good, not a single ten year spirit ring appeared.
What did this mean? If saying that there was a child with stronger gifts than her granddaughter, perhaps Chao Tian-Xiang could still accept it. But right now the strength these children displayed, judging by their age, unexpectedly each exceeded her granddaughter. One might say that these six young boys and girls, one had to describe them as genius talents, but, how could this many geniuses appear at once?
Seeing the astonished look in Chao Tian-Xiang's eyes, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but secretly feel a burst of pleasure in his heart. On his face appeared a smiling tiger kind of smile,
"Senior, do you see these students of mine?"
Chao Tian-Xiang drew in a deep breath, with difficulty calming her rushing heart, with a tight lipped smile saying:
"Of course. Worthy of being called the Motionless Bright King's disciples, as expected they are heroic youngsters, ah! I do not know which of these children in the end reached thirtieth rank?"
Zhao Wuji clapped Tang San at his side,
"It's this kid, he just now reached thirtieth rank. There is nothing to be done, I also have a hard life and can only bring them here."
Chao Tian-Xiang looked towards Tang San, the expression on her face already appearing more and more unsightly. She was very clear on what a good spirit ring meant to a Spirit Master about to advance. Right now with the thousand year Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent in other peoples' hands, if she wanted to let before her this Zhao Wuji spit it out, it could not be such an easy matter. But seeing Tang San plant type spirit, she asked Your spirit was Blue silver grass so it was not better for you to. absorbed a plant type soul beast then why you searching for a poision type soul beast, Tang San bow and speak senior My direction of development was control type soul master for which poision was the best attack and defense.
The Old lady nodded and looked at Oscar and speak what is your spirit child, Oscar come forward bow to her, after which he speak My spirit was a sausage, Which belong to food type spirit master, senior. my development was towards the auxiliary system Spirit Master, that's all. Even more a food system Spirit Master
Chao Tian-Xiang was shocked once again,
"What did you say? you are a food system Spirit Master?"
The words 'food system Spirit Master' made her immediately see Oscar in a new light.
Just like what Shrek Academy's dean Flender said, as a food system Spirit Master, and with innate full spirit power, Oscar absolutely was a genius among geniuses. Perhaps in the entire Continent since the beginning of history, one still would not find a food system Spirit Master with cultivation faster than his.
Chao Tian-Xiang looked toward Oscar with a pleasant countenance,
"Young man, are you really a food system Spirit Master? From which school are you?"
Oscar shook his head, saying:
"I am not part of a school. The dean said that my spirit just became like this due to variation."
Genius food system Spirit Master, without background, variation spirit, these several bits summed together made Chao Tian-Xiang's heart tighten up. If her school was able to unearth an outstanding food system Spirit Master like this, then, in the future having him assist her granddaughter, wouldn't it be too perfect?
However, without waiting for Chao Tian-Xiang to try to recruit him, another voice suddenly interjected. Senior Nice to meet you My name was Xiao Wu 36 rank soul elder, Serpent grandmother nodded, but After some minutes she was shock and speak what rank did you speak,
Xiao Wu speak 37 with innocent voice, seeing her age around 12-13 year, the soul rank 37 the
Serpent Grandmother's heart abruptly contracted at once, secretly saying in her heart, 'who are these children Zhao Wuji found, how is one after another so outstanding?' This looked even younger, if it was at another place, he would still appear to just have graduated from junior spirit master academy. But standing here right now, saying he already possessed thirty six ranked Student, in some advanced academy this is the criteria to graduate.
This time Senior Introduced her granddaughter who was absorbeing the spirit ring on the side, her name was "Meng Yiran, spirit Serpent Cane. Thirtieth ranked two ring Battle Spirit Grandmaster."
Tang San show his behaviour discovered that this young lady called Meng Yiran was very beautiful. She was after all already sixteen years old, her figure's development was already perfect. Compared to her, the Academy's two girls still appeared a bit immature.
Meng Yiran's pair of big brown eyes possessed long eyelashes, her height was not much different from Tang San's, and extremely well proportioned, chest fully plump and round, slender waist turning somewhat like a snake. Although on her face was a lightly displeased and cold anger, this did not lower her charm a bit.
The breeze blew, in the forest the tree leaves rustled, sunshine giving off shadows from the uneven dancing trees.
In fact, although Dragon Duke Meng Shu also was in Star Dou Great Forest, he had previously separated from Serpent Grandmother and Meng Yiran to pursue another spirit beast, wanting to find him quickly wasn't at all easy. Otherwise, if Dragon Duke was in the immediate vicinity, how would Serpent Grandmother Chao Tian-Xiang still say something like that.
By now the color of the sky was already gradually darkening, within Star Dou Great Forest the air was moist, the rich plant fragrance making peoples' whole body relax, if there were no longer spirit beasts here, then perhaps this might become a paradise for people.
The serphant grandmother already tell them about a human faced demon spider that was around 50km in south from here, After saying thanks to serphant grandmother the group of all Shrek six With Zhou Wuji leaved in the direction...
After probably half a double hour, the first to awaken was contrary to expectations Ming Yiran absorbing the spirit ring.
With a long breath, Ming Yiran slowly opened his eyes, in a split second, a change suddenly appeared in that pink light over his body, becoming a beautiful pink[2], the entire person bathed in this layer of pink light.
Three spirit rings rose from below, besides the original two yellow spirit rings, another bright purple spirit ring manifested itself strongly. Ming Yiran had finally broken through the Spirit Grandmaster phase, entering the Spirit Elder realm.
Seeing there granddaughter open her eyes both grand parent's say in one same time
"Congratulations, Yiran."
Yes both grand parent's, during her absorption the Dragon Duke also come after seeing his granddaughter absorbing a spirit ring he stay there with his wife to protect her, during absorption during which he knows what happen in which his wife mostly talk about Oscar,Xiao Wu, and Tang San talent, Dragon Duke speak it was better to not send our grand-daughter there because do you where there spirit come from, for the sure these children background was not small. the serpant grandmother nodded, after which they waited for Yiran to finish absorption and then leave here.
In Distance while walking,
Zhao Wuji looked gravely at Tang San,
"Tell me, how old are you this year, you must be precise to the month."
Tang San without the slightest hesitation said:
"Twelve years and seven months."
Zhao Wuji nodded, gaze turning towards the others,
"You all see. Especially those of you who have not reached the thirtieth rank. You all see it. Tang San and you are equally old, but he is right now about to enter another phase. This is the result of great effort. Twelve years old and seven months, I think, this record will forever be preserved as Shrek Academy's record. Forever."
Tang San's batch of students very possibly was Shrek Academy's last, and although the other several were younger than Tang San, Zhao Wuji absolutely believed there was still no one who could enter the thirtieth ranked level earlier than Tang San.
Oscar said:
"Teacher Zhao, I don't agree with you. Tang San able to break through thirtieth rank, this can't be the result of effort."
Zhao Wuji gave him a glare,
"Then you tell me why this is?"
Oscar grinned, saying:
"Since we are Shrek Students, if we say that we are monsters, then, he is a monster among monsters."
Hearing Oscars words, Zhao Wuji smiled, the other students also smiled. Even Zhu Zhuqing's face wore a slight smiling expression.
"Ge, congratulations."
Xiao Wu whispered next to Tang San's ear, right now she still excitedly held on to Tang San's right arm,
"But, You will never be able to overtake me."
Regarding Xiao Wu's words, Tang San did not doubt them, for these several years, although each time it was Tang San who took the lead in breaking through, the ordinarily not appearing very diligent Xiao Wu would always chase after him and in a short time reach the same level. Tang San always believed that if Xiao Wu cultivated a bit seriously, her strength would certainly surpass his. so with Si Yan help Xiao Wu leap it was hard for Tang San to catch up, without any opportunities like Xiao Wu..
Zhao Wuji smiled faintly,
"Of course we can, this is what you deserve. We must not only find you a spirit beast for your third spirit ring, but must also on your behalf find a spirit beast that most suits you. Apparently, this time we must extend our time in Star Dou Great Forest for a bit."
Tang San broke through twenty ninth rank to enter the thirtieth rank stage, it could be said to everyone's delight and satisfaction. After all, receiving results like this on the first day of entering Star Dou Great Forest was already sufficient to satisfy everyone To fight the Serphant. Even if in itself strength did not advance any for the others, after entering this forest their knowledge had still increased greatly. The relationship between everyone also pulled closer in this kind of danger.
Zhao Wuji did not let anyone rest there, because he feared Dragon Duke would return with Serpent Grandmother to find them, although the possibility of this was very small, he still had no choice but to guard against it. That evening, he brought the six Shrek Students to walk about ten li[3] in one direction, and after concealing all their traces, halted like this.
Zhao Wuji's worries did not show any result. The night passed without incident. After resting for one night, everyone's energy had recovered to peak condition.
Early the next day, they continued the process of searching for Spirit Beasts. Only this time the person getting a spirit beast was Tang San.
Regarding what kind of spirit beast to pick for his third spirit ring, Grandmaster had long ago already helped Tang San plan it out well, therefore Tang San believed that finding a spirit beast for him should be even easier than finding others. After all, in Grandmaster's plan were several kinds of spirit beast, with some comparatively common. As long as the cultivation age was suitable it could become his spirit ring.
But things turned out contrary to what he expected, no less than two days passed, even though Zhao Wuji led them to seriously search, they did not find a suitable spirit beast for Tang San.
As a result of previously encountering the Serpent Grandmother Chao Tian-Xiang grandparent and grandchild pair, Zhao Wuji was somewhat wary of the consequences, adding to the danger within Star Dou Great Forest itself, making Zhao Wuji's tactics while searching for spirit beasts somewhat conservative, without deeply penetrating Star Dou Great Forest, only bringing everyone to conduct the search in the outer parts.
Even though they several times encountered thousand year spirit beasts on the way, those several kinds of spirit beasts did not suit Tang San. The remainder were all some hundred year spirit beasts.
He also couldn't blame Zhao Wuji's conservative attitude in searching for spirit beasts, after all, he was only one teacher, while encountering low level spirit beasts everyone were naturally able to handle it, but when encountering a truly formidable spirit beast, Zhao Wuji could not be certain to protect everyone. These students all were Shrek Academy's little monsters, among them several people were from even more remarkable backgrounds, Zhao Wuji did not dare take risks. If anyone became an issue, that was a fatal conclusion.
Two days time passed, even though no one regarded food supply as a problem, each day within the great forest with danger lurking on every side still strained everyone's minds, making it even easier to feel exhausted.
However, entering within Star Dou Great Forest, also precisely because of the existence of this crisis, the coordination between the students gradually became connected on a deeper level. The four Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun were in charge of fighting after they encountered spirit beasts. Zhu Zhuqing was responsible for advance scouting within a certain distance. Oscar were support. Even if they were without Zhao Wuji's assistance, as long as it was not a thousand year spirit beast, they would be unable to bring any threat to this little group.
The mutual understanding was a necessary capability to possess for continuously coordinated battles, this kind of dangerous environment clearly was the best tempering. Being able to enter Shrek Academy already proved these students were outstanding, monsters and geniuses, they successfully transformed pressure into power. Adding Zhao Wuji's directions from the side, while their spirit power improvement speed did not have any change, but the imperceptible influence of fighting experience and composite strength continuously increased.
At nightfall it was finally was time to rest. They couldn't light a fire within Star Dou Great Forest: although the majority of spirit beasts feared flame, there were also a small share of spirit beasts that were exceedingly fond of fire, and among this little share of spirit beasts, on the whole were some deadly existences.
Without needing Zhao Wuji's direction, the male students were in charge of building tents, the female students were in charge of food. Of course, Oscar this fellow was an exception, immediately by Dai Mubai, Tang San and the others directed to enter the female student category.
The tents were not large, and naturally insufficient to let everyone lie down to sleep, but for everyone to sit and cultivate was nevertheless no problem. To them, at all times maintaining peak fighting condition was more important than sleeping.
Zhao Wuji as teacher, naturally took the work of night vigil.
Hurriedly eating supper, Zhao Wuji let everyone enter the tents to rest, but called Tang San before him.
"Little San, aren't you anxious?"
Zhao Wuji looked at the youngster before him with a smiling expression.
Tang San shook his head, saying:
"Searching for spirit beasts is a matter of luck. Hurrying is no use. Teacher Zhao, you be at ease, I have patience."
Zhao Wuji sighed lightly, saying:
"Currently this Star Dou Great Forest has also started to become desolate. Many years ago, I still remember how this was a bustling scene. At that time, even if it was around the forest, everywhere could be seen thousand year level spirit beast existences. But now spirit beasts are much fewer. I don't know if they all go to live inside the forest, or some other reason."
Tang San said:
"Regardless of the reason, it still is us humans who caused it. Although spirit beasts are fierce, us humans are even more fierce than them. Isn't that so?"
Zhao Wuji stared blankly,
"Why do you say this?"
Tang San said:
"Teacher once said, even though Spirit Masters are few, one spirit master from starting cultivation to maturing as a power is only several decades, that's all. But over these several decades, one formidable Spirit Master needs at least six or more spirit rings. In other words, has to kill six or more spirit beasts. Among these would also include hundred year and thousand year, even ten thousand year levels. Spirit beast cultivation is much more difficult compared to us humans, otherwise they would also not be divided according to age. Even though they are numerous, under this kind of sustained massacre, the spirit beasts' quantity will only continuously decrease, especially for formidable spirit beasts, even more each killed is one fewer. After many years, perhaps it will be difficult to see thousand year or higher existences."
