Zhao Wuji's gaze lingered on Granny Snake and Meng Yiran and he asked.
"Did the two of you chase and kill this Phoenix - Tailed Cockscomb Snake before?"
Granny Snake and Meng Yiran were momentarily stirred by Zhao Wuji's question, their faces showing a slight look of astonishment.
Subsequently, the aged face of Granny Snake gradually regained its calmness, and a glint flashed in her eyes as she said:
"Indeed, it was my granddaughter and I. We've been chasing it.
"My granddaughter just reached level 30 not long ago and urgently needs a soul ring to enhance her strength. As you can see, she has inherited my weapon martial spirit - the Snake Staff.
"Naturally, a high - level snake - type soul beast is the most suitable for her."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of pride and anticipation that was hard to detect in Granny Snake's voice. She continued to add:
"My name is Chao Tianxiang. My friends in the soul master world call me Granny Snake. My husband was called Meng Shu, and when he was alive, people called him Grandpa Dragon.
"I wonder if this Soul Saint senior could give me some face and let my granddaughter have this soul beast?"
After hearing the old woman's self - introduction, Zhao Wuji was startled. A hint of respect that was hard to hide emerged in his voice: "Are you the Granny Snake from the Peerless Dragon and Snake?"
Chao Tianxiang smiled, "I don't dare to take such credit. That's me. May I have the honor to know the name of this Soul Saint?"
"I'm Zhao Wuji. But today, I came to the Star Dou Great Forest to help my students obtain soul rings too. I'm sorry," Zhao Wuji simply introduced himself.
Chao Tianxiang's eyebrows slightly raised. She looked Zhao Wuji up and down and showed a look of surprise:
"Are you saying that among your students, there are also soul masters who have reached level 30?"
Zhao Wuji nodded slightly.
Meng Yiran couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. The reflection of Zhao Wuji's calm face was in her pupils.
"Most of your disciples are only twelve or thirteen years old. Could there really be someone who has reached level 30?"
There was a tremor in her voice.
If this was true, wouldn't the talents of these young boys and girls be even more outstanding than hers?
Surely not?
[Ding, it is detected that Meng Yiran has a shocked emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
Facing the disbelieving expressions on Granny Snake and Meng Yiran's faces, Zhao Wuji just smiled softly.
"Kids, show your soul rings to this Granny Snake senior."
At Zhao Wuji's command, everyone released their martial spirits.
Dozens of soul rings instantly dazzled Granny Snake and Meng Yiran.
A complex emotion flashed in Granny Snake's eyes. The talents shown by these children in front of her were far beyond her expectations.
[Ding, it is detected that Granny Snake has a shocked emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
"Grandma, are we just going to give up like this?" Meng Yiran's voice carried a trace of unwillingness.
Granny Snake took a deep breath.
"Brother Zhao, neither of us is willing to let go of this Phoenix - Tailed Cockscomb Snake easily. But I don't want to make enemies with you. How about letting the two children decide?"
"I'm sure you're aware of the rules in the soul master world. The winner gets this soul beast."
In the soul master world where the strong are respected, this was indeed a widely recognized practice. If both parties coveted the same soul beast and had put in efforts, then a fair competition would determine the ownership.
Chen Feng had no intention of taking action himself. Tang San could handle this small challenge.
However, there was a faint sense of amusement in Chen Feng's heart - in the original work, Tang San had used Blue Silver Grass to skillfully tear Meng Yiran's clothes to shreds, revealing her body, and that scene had excited many readers.
Now, Meng Yiran was a more enhanced version.
It would be an even better "benefit".
If there was a similar scene of her body being revealed...
Hehe, you know what that means.
Since he could enjoy a "visual feast" for free without doing anything, why not?
"Teacher Zhao, how about I take on the challenge for Xiao Ao? I'm level 29, so it shouldn't be considered taking an advantage," Tang San said with strong confidence in his voice. He had a clear understanding of his abilities and believed he wouldn't suffer a loss against Meng Yiran.
Facing Tang San's challenge, Meng Yiran slightly raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her lips carried a hint of sarcasm.
"No! I don't want to fight you! You're only level 29. I don't want to bully you."
The smile on Tang San's face froze, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. He felt quite frustrated in his heart.
[Ding, it is detected that Tang San has a frustrated emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
Granny Snake rolled her eyes, as if calculating something, then said to Chen Feng, "Yiran, have a match with this young lad."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Meng Yiran's face. Her eyes secretly sized up Chen Feng, and she was undecided.
"Grandma, this person didn't show his soul rings just now. Maybe his level is very low."
The muscles at the corner of Granny Snake's mouth twitched, and she forced a stiff smile. She cursed inwardly that her granddaughter was too naive.
In her opinion, the reason this young man didn't show his soul rings was undoubtedly that his strength was weak. Otherwise, why would he hide like this?
And her silly granddaughter couldn't even see through this.
"Child, don't underestimate him. Maybe this young lad is a hidden expert," Granny Snake said, while secretly thinking in her heart that Chen Feng was just a clown.
[Ding, it is detected that Granny Snake has a contemptuous emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
A rather wry - smile expression flashed across Chen Feng's face. He just wanted to keep a low profile, but Granny Snake took him for an easy target.
"Are you sure you want to fight me?"
"Sure," Granny Snake replied without hesitation.
Meng Yiran raised the corners of her mouth, showing a confident and elegant smile, as if she had already foreseen the impending victory.
"Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."
The Shrek students all looked at Meng Yiran with strange expressions.
Why did she have to pick Chen Feng? Wasn't she asking for trouble?
"Ahem, Chen Feng, go ahead," Zhao Wuji whispered to Chen Feng, "Go easy on her!"
Granny Snake's ears caught this subtle conversation.
Her shrewd and crafty eyes stared closely at Chen Feng, secretly speculating in her heart.
Could it be that this seemingly ordinary young man was the most powerful among Zhao Wuji's students?
However, her heart was still wavering. Finally, she shook her head self - deprecatingly, dismissing the "ridiculous" thought in her heart.
He's just pretending. This kid is definitely pretending!
Chen Feng sighed softly,
"Alas, I wanted to keep a low profile, but my strength just won't allow it."
Before the words finished, a stunning aura suddenly burst out from him.
Immediately after, a dazzling light, like the most brilliant star in the dawn, suddenly bloomed on him.
That light continued to condense, and finally turned into a pitch - black soul ring, slowly circling around him.
The air in the field seemed to be frozen by this black light, and all eyes were firmly fixed on the pitch - black soul ring.
Black!
A ten - thousand - year soul ring!
This seemingly ordinary young man actually had a Soul - King - level ten - thousand - year soul ring?!
Granny Snake's pupils shrank sharply, and a tempestuous wave surged in her heart.
How the hell was this supposed to be fought?
A ten - thousand - year soul ring announced that the young man in front of her was at least a level - 30 - something Soul Lord.
Going further, it wasn't impossible that he was a level - 40 - something Soul Ancestor.
Could he be a level - 50 - something Soul King? It didn't seem impossible either.
Whichever possibility it was, it far exceeded the limit of Granny Snake's granddaughter.
Could such strength and talent belong to a twelve - or thirteen - year - old teenager?

With the ten - thousand - year soul ring, Meng Yiran knows that if it's a "fair" fight, she's surely doomed.
So she can only fight "unfairly" - with hidden weapons!
Since hidden weapons are used, can Meng Yiran's clothes still remain intact?
Gentlemen know what this means!
