After capturing the Phoenix Tail Cock's Comb Snake,
Yun Chuan casually took out a small short sword and handed it to Oscar. "The night is long and full of dreams. Act now. If you stab just under its comb, you can pierce its brain. This soul ring will then be yours."
Oscar eagerly took the short sword. At this moment, the millennium-old soul beast before him was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. His third soul skill was about to be obtained, and he was so excited that even his hands trembled.
But just as Oscar was about to stab with the sword, a hoarse, stern voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"
Immediately, two figures darted out from the direction the Phoenix Tail Cock's Comb Snake had flown from and appeared before everyone.
One was old and the other young. The old one looked like a woman in her sixties or seventies, holding a snake-head staff. Behind the old woman was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, also holding a snake staff—obviously her Martial Soul.
The appearance of the old woman and the girl startled Tang San and the others, but when they saw the old woman had six soul rings, they relaxed. After all, Tang Laoshi had seven soul rings—not to be trifled with, especially the several deep black millennium soul rings, which exuded sheer intimidation.
Tang San and the others relaxed, but the old woman's expression changed. She had initially shouted to stop Oscar because she heard Yun Chuan, but up close, she immediately saw Yun Chuan's seven soul rings.
A Soul Saint! How could a Soul Saint appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest? And such a young Soul Saint?! The old woman's heart sank, realizing that today, there would be no easy victory.
"Is there something wrong?" Yun Chuan glanced at the old woman, speaking calmly.
The old woman cleared her throat, softening her expression. "Greetings, esteemed Soul Saint. You cannot give this Phoenix Tail Cock's Comb Snake to this child."
"No!" Yun Chuan rejected without hesitation.
The old woman's expression stiffened. Why was he not playing by the rules? Normally, one would ask the reason first—how could he just refuse outright? How was she supposed to respond now?
"Cough, cough."
She cleared her throat, then thick-skinnedly continued, "Esteemed Soul Saint, to be honest, we discovered this snake first and started the hunt ahead of you. Otherwise, why would we have been tracking it all this way?"
Before Yun Chuan could respond, Oscar couldn't help but interject, "How can you prove you were the first to start hunting it? When we found it, we didn't see any trace of you."
The old woman smiled slightly. "Young man, no need to rush. Look at the snake's abdomen—there are two wounds from my staff. There are also marks beneath the wings. It slipped away by accident. My granddaughter just reached level thirty and really needs this soul ring. You also saw, she inherited my weapon-type Martial Soul, the Snake Staff. A high-level snake-type Martial Soul suits her perfectly."
Everyone looked at the Phoenix Tail Cock's Comb Snake, which was immobilized by the soul power net on the ground. Indeed, as the old woman said, there were such wounds. But if she thought that was enough to make them hand over the soul beast, it was a fantasy.
They turned their gaze to Tang Laoshi, that is, Yun Chuan. He remained indifferent, calmly saying, "Senior, in the Soul Master world, strength speaks for itself. You cannot just demand we hand over a soul beast with a single sentence."
Hearing this, the old woman knew this seemingly young Soul Saint, whose real age was unknown, would not give up the Phoenix Tail Cock's Comb Snake. She introduced herself: "I am Chaotian Xiang, honored by friends in the Soul Master world, nicknamed the Snake Lady. My husband is Meng Shu, known as Dragon Lord. This time, we came to the Star Dou Forest to find a suitable third soul ring for our granddaughter."
"So it's the peerless Dragon-Snake couple…" Yun Chuan feigned realization, then expressionlessly said, "If Dragon Lord were here, I'd yield without a word. But it's only you…"
Though he didn't finish, the Snake Lady immediately understood. Without another word, she grabbed her granddaughter and left in the direction they came from, disappearing into the forest.
"Hmph, at least they know their place." Yun Chuan snorted. Others feared the peerless Dragon-Snake couple, but he did not. Being in the forest, he would not fear even a god, because no one could kill him within the hundred-mile radius of his plant domain.
If that was the case, why fear a mere Dragon-Snake couple? And as for the original story, letting Tang San and Meng Yiran compete in secret weaponry, show off, and even get a beauty's kiss? Only a foolish person would give Tang San such an opportunity.
"Oscar, go, finish it!" Yun Chuan gestured for Oscar to absorb the soul ring.
"All right!" Oscar eagerly raised the short sword and stabbed, ending the Phoenix Tail Cock's Comb Snake's life.
A purple soul ring slowly rose. Oscar immediately sat cross-legged to absorb it.
Watching Oscar absorb the soul ring, Xiao Wu stood beside Tang San, lowering her head. Her big eyes were full of reluctance. "Do we really have to hunt soul beasts?"
Tang San sighed lightly. "Survival of the fittest is the law of life. If this snake were stronger than us, do you think it would let food escape when it's within reach?"
Xiao Wu remained silent, but kept her head lowered, her face still pale.
"Tang Laoshi, I have something to say to you." Tang San approached the meditating Yun Chuan. Before he could speak, Yun Chuan said for him, "You've reached level thirty. You want a soul ring, don't you?"
"Teacher, how did you know?" Tang San was surprised.
After the brutal beating last night, perhaps provoked or motivated by Yun Chuan's words, Tang San sensed the signs of a breakthrough. After training, he successfully advanced from level twenty-nine to thirty.
"I knew long ago. Last night, when you broke through your soul power level, the fluctuations were very clear in my perception." Yun Chuan said calmly.
This wasn't bluffing. High-level Soul Masters are very sensitive to soul power fluctuations. If someone nearby breaks through, it's easily perceptible.
"Since you've reached level thirty, once Oscar finishes absorbing the soul ring, we'll continue on our way," Yun Chuan said. He also wanted to meet the Titan Ape. His recent battle with Tang Hao had given him greater insight.
Especially for the true Thousand Hands – Top of Buddha technique! Although still in the embryonic stage, recent refinements made it increasingly powerful. The Titan Ape would be perfect to test it.
