—------------------—
The peaceful days in the Barak Kingdom did not last long, and Xue Tianxing found out that Tang San and Xiao Wu, just like in the original novel, successfully joined Shrek Academy after many twists and turns.
This news made Xue Tianxing's heart move, and an idea quickly formed:
He was going to the Star Dou Great Forest to intercept the human-faced demon spider before Tang San.
This human-faced demon spider not only provides powerful spirit rings, but more importantly, it can explode extremely rare external spirit bones.
Although Xue Tianxing does not need this spirit ring and spirit bone to improve his own strength, he must not let this opportunity fall into Tang San's hands - the external spirit bone is simply against the will of heaven. Once absorbed by Tang San, it will undoubtedly make this "son of destiny" even more powerful, and the threat to himself in the future will be even greater.
The reason why Xue Tianxing was able to know the news of Tang San joining Shrek Academy in time was all because of Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
This spoiled young lady was tired of the constraints of the sect. After hearing about the strange rule of Shrek Academy that "only monsters are accepted", she secretly escaped from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, determined to see it all.
Since Shrek Academy is located in the Barak Kingdom, she made a detour to the Barak Palace before leaving to say goodbye to Xue Tianxing, Shui Binger and others. She also complained about the sect's "inhumanity" and then prepared to join Shrek Academy.
It was precisely because Ning Rongrong was going to Shrek Academy that Xue Tianxing learned about the current timeline, so he immediately finalized the plan to intercept her.
On the second day after Ning Rongrong left Barak City, Xue Tianxing told Xuezhe and Yu Ningxin that he wanted to go to the Star Dou Great Forest for training, and then he left the palace alone and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
After arriving at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xue Tianxing did not rush in, but chose to stay in the small town where Shrek Academy often stayed in the original novel.
This small town is not big, but because it is close to the Star Dou Great Forest, soul masters come and go all year round, and it is a mixed crowd.
Xue Tianxing found an inconspicuous inn to stay in. In addition to practicing to stabilize his soul power every day, he disguised himself as an ordinary soul master, observing the soul master teams coming and going at the town entrance, patiently waiting for the appearance of Shrek Academy.
This wait lasted for three days.
On the morning of the fourth day, a loud noise came from the town entrance.
Xue Tianxing opened the window of the inn and looked out, only to see a team consisting of six young boys and girls and a middle-aged man walking into the town - leading them was the tall and rugged-looking Zhao Wuji, followed by Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun and others.
It was the Shrek Academy team! Xue Tianxing's eyes narrowed, and he immediately restrained his breath, carefully observing the team's movements.
He found that everyone in the team kept looking at Tang San, obviously preparing to obtain the spirit ring.
Xue Tianxing understood clearly:
In the original novel, Shrek Academy went to the Star Dou Great Forest for the first time to help Oscar obtain the third soul ring, and Tang San accidentally broke through to level 30 on the way.
But now Oscar has already joined the Barak Kingdom and successfully absorbed the fourth soul ring. The purpose of this trip naturally became to find a suitable third soul ring for Tang San, who had just broken through level 30.
"It seems that although the plot has changed, the key points have not deviated."
Xue Tianxing thought to himself, "The appearance of the human-faced demon spider should be not far away."
He calmly checked out and left the inn, following the Shrek Academy team from a distance.
Although Zhao Wuji is quite powerful, Xue Tianxing is now a level 54 Soul King and is deliberately hiding himself, so the few of them did not notice the follower behind them.
After a short rest in the tavern in the small town, the team headed towards the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Tang San's journey to get his third soul ring officially began, and Xue Tianxing's interception plan also entered the final waiting stage.
After passing through the outer low-level soul beast area, the Shrek Academy team arrived at the activity range of thousand-year-old soul beasts suitable for obtaining Soul Lord soul rings.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were responsible for exploring and clearing the way, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were in the middle, Tang San and Ma Hongjun were in the rear, and Zhao Wuji followed closely behind them, ready to rescue students in danger at any time.
Xue Tianxing hid on a huge ancient tree and closely followed the movements of the Shrek people with the perception ability of his Ice Phoenix martial spirit.
Xue Tianxing was hiding on an ancient tree, closely watching the movements of the Shrek people, when he suddenly had a strange premonition in his heart.
He clearly remembered that in the original novel, the first goal of Shrek Academy's trip was to help Oscar hunt the Phoenix-tailed Cockapoo, but Oscar was no longer in the team. According to common sense, they should ignore this soul beast that had nothing to do with the goal.
However, what happened in the next second made Xue Tianxing deeply realize the horror of the world's correction force - there was suddenly a movement in the grass not far away, and a phoenix-tailed cockatoo snake with a fiery red body and a tumor on its head suddenly jumped out and attacked Tang San and others directly!
This soul beast should have appeared when Oscar needed a soul ring, but now it attacked for no reason. It was obvious that the world's correction force was forcibly pulling the plot back to its original trajectory.
"careful!"
Dai Mubai reacted the fastest, immediately possessing his spirit, and his White Tiger spirit unfolded, blocking everyone in front of him. Tang San also quickly took out the Blue Silver Grass and wrapped it around the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake; Ma Hongjun breathed out flames, and Zhu Zhuqing circled to the side, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Faced with the sudden attack of the soul beast, the Shrek people were forced to fight back. After a fierce battle, they finally killed the thousand-year-old phoenix-tailed cockscomb snake.
Xue Tianxing looked at this scene with a frown on his face:
"As expected, the power of world correction cannot be underestimated. Even if key characters are absent, the plot points will reappear in another way."
As he expected, just as everyone was packing up the spoils, two figures came rushing over angrily - it was the snake witch Chao Tianxiang, followed by Meng Yiran who looked aggrieved.
"How dare you steal my granddaughter's soul beast!"
Chao Tianxiang roared angrily, unleashing all his soul power. The powerful pressure instantly made everyone at Shrek tense.
Zhao Wuji immediately stepped forward to negotiate, but was suppressed by the snake woman and had no power to fight back.
At the critical moment, Zhao Wuji suddenly spoke and whispered to the snake woman:
"Snake Po, calm down. This is Tang San. His father is Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao!"
When Chao Tianxiang heard the word "Tang Hao", her expression changed instantly. After weighing the pros and cons again and again, she finally left with Meng Yiran in disappointment.
The crisis was resolved, but the Shrek people were also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. After a short rest, they continued to go deeper into the forest to find a suitable third soul ring for Tang San.
At this moment, Xue Tianxing suddenly felt an extremely powerful aura rushing from the depths of the forest. The power was so heavy and violent that it shocked his heart - it was the Titan Ape!
Xue Tianxing immediately realized that the key point of the plot had finally arrived.
