Chapter 133 Oscar's Third Spirit Ring (Part 1)

No, I can't lose. Meng Yiran gritted her teeth and persevered, watching Tang San's soul power close in step by step, yet she was unwilling to give up no matter what. If she lost, the Thousand-Year Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent would become his.

From childhood to adulthood, Meng Yiran grew up spoiled by the Dragon King and the Snake Queen. She never failed to get what she wanted. She was determined to have the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake. Although she was gradually at a disadvantage, she refused to give up and kept pushing her own potential.

Tang San was secretly surprised by Meng Yiran's persistence. His Xuan Tian Gong recovery speed was obviously faster than the soul power of this world. After so much time, he had gained the upper hand, but Meng Yiran persisted so stubbornly.

A battle of soul power is like a battle of internal energy, and Tang San was well aware of the consequences. If one side exhausts their soul power, the damage they suffer will be immense and irreversible. At the very least, they will be severely injured, with most of their meridians broken, and if things go wrong, they will lose their lives. He didn't have a deep-seated hatred for Meng Yiran; in some ways, he even felt some sympathy for her. He didn't want to kill his opponent, but at this point, it was no longer a matter of him simply letting her go.

Snake Granny Chaotianxiang sighed and said to Zhao Wuji, "Let it go, consider it a loss. How about we join forces?"

With Zhao Wuji watching her intently from the side, Chao Tianxiang naturally dared not make any rash moves. At this moment, in order to protect her granddaughter, she had no choice but to do so. After all, while the spirit ring was good, her granddaughter's life was more important.

Zhao Wuji was naturally delighted and immediately nodded in agreement. At that moment, the two powerful figures, each possessing the strength of a Soul Saint and a Soul Emperor respectively, floated out and appeared behind Tang San and Meng Yiran, simultaneously activating their own soul power.

"Let go." Zhao Wuji shouted. A powerful surge of soul power flowed into Tang San's body. Tang San naturally heard his conversation with Chao Tianxiang. Under the protection of Zhao Wuji's soul power, he immediately released his hands and was pulled back several steps by him.

On the other side, Chaotianxiang also used her soul power to protect Meng Yiran and grabbed her body to prevent her from continuing her attack.

Meng Yiran's face turned deathly pale. With a loud groan, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Previously, she was at a disadvantage, struggling to hold on under the pressure of Tang San's soul power. Now that there was no attack, the potential she had unleashed dissipated rapidly like a deflated balloon. She couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground. With the help of Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, she immediately entered a state of cultivation to heal her injuries.

Oscar quickly moved closer to Tang San, handed him a recovery sausage he had prepared beforehand, and winked, saying, "Brother, eat up. If I ever achieve something great in the future, I'll never forget you."

Tang San said irritably, "We're on the same side, why say such things?" He then took the sausage and ate it, not asking Zhao Wuji to help him like Chaotianxiang had helped Meng Yiran. Instead, he went to sit down and cultivate on his own. With Oscar's sausage, his recovery speed wouldn't be too slow. Zhao Wuji was the only strong person on Shrek Academy's side, and he should try to maintain his strength. Who knew if that Dragon Duke would suddenly appear?

Zhao Wuji seemed quite pleased that Tang San refused to help him restore his soul power, and couldn't help but smile as he watched him walk to the side.

Xiao Wu immediately stood beside Tang San, who had begun cultivating to recover his soul power. Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun also joined him, surrounding Tang San to protect him. Tang San's victory over Meng Yiran for Oscar had touched them all, and the distance between them seemed to have shortened somewhat.

Zhao Wuji looked at the Snake Granny with a smile, "Sister Chao, what do you say?"

The Snake Granny said calmly, "A bet is a bet. If you lose, you lose. The Thousand-Year Phoenix-Tailed Crested Snake is yours. I will remember what happened today."

Zhao Wuji seemed oblivious to Chao Tianxiang's threat, turning to Oscar and giving him a wink, "You brat, hurry up."

Oscar was overjoyed. He had been waiting for this moment for far too long. He quickly stepped in front of Zhao Wuji, took the short blade Zhao Wuji handed him, and without hesitation plunged it into the vital spot of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

With Zhao Wuji's soul power locking it in, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent struggled violently after being stabbed in a vital spot, but how could it possibly break free? Its life force rapidly drained away, and it became motionless in no time.

Zhao Wuji sensed that the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was indeed lifeless before throwing it to the ground.

Oscar sat down directly next to the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, raised his hand to summon his giant sausage, and under the pale pink light, drew the serpent's spirit rings into his body. He began absorbing the third spirit ring of his life.

Zhao Wuji didn't relax his guard even after Oscar began absorbing the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent's soul ring; his gaze remained fixed on Chaotianxiang. Although it was a bet, who could be sure this snake woman wouldn't suddenly renege and launch an attack?

Although the title of "Peerless Dragon and Serpent" is not insignificant, it is not exactly righteous. Even if it is slightly better than Zhao Wuji, the Immovable King, it is not much better.

Chao Tianxiang made no move, silently assisting her granddaughter in healing. Zhao Wuji watched her, and she also looked at Zhao Wuji warily. The silent confrontation put both of them in a state of extreme tension.

Not long after, Chao Tianxiang removed her hand from Meng Yiran's body and pulled her granddaughter up from the ground.

Although Meng Yiran's face was still pale, her spirits seemed to have improved somewhat. She glared fiercely at Tang San, who was cultivating in the distance, and Oscar, who was absorbing the Thousand-Year Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent Soul Ring, before looking up at her grandmother. "Grandma, you have to stand up for me!"

Chao Tianxiang frowned slightly. "Let's go, we've already lost. We'll talk about it after we find your grandfather." Her gaze shifted to Zhao Wuji. "Immovable King, the green hills remain unchanged, the green waters flow forever, until we meet again." She deliberately emphasized the words "until we meet again," her eyes flashing coldly, clearly harboring no goodwill. To prevent Zhao Wuji from taking any action, she hadn't even dared to help her granddaughter recover to her best condition, merely suppressing her injuries. She figured it wouldn't be too late to treat her wounds after leaving this place. The Snake Granny was incredibly experienced; she wouldn't give Zhao Wuji any chance to make a move.

After saying this, Chao Tianxiang and her granddaughter leaped up and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Watching the Snake Granny and her granddaughter leave, Zhao Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the Dragon Lord had not appeared from beginning to end.

Now that they finally have the crested snake, even if the couple wants revenge, they should first consider whether it's worth it.

It would be best to leave this place as soon as possible after Oscar has absorbed the spirit ring.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, and perhaps encountering that family of powerful and ruthless individuals again, things would become much more complicated.

The sky was gradually darkening. The air in the Star Dou Great Forest was humid, and the rich fragrance of plants made people feel refreshed. If it weren't for the ubiquitous soul beasts, this place might be a paradise on earth.

Dai Mubai and the other four surrounded Tang San, while Zhao Wuji stood beside Oscar, protecting the two of them.

About half an hour later, Oscar, who had been absorbing the spirit ring, was the first to wake up.

Although Tang San ate the recovery sausage given to him by Oscar, he didn't have the help of the Snake Granny like Meng Yiran, so his cultivation time was actually longer.

Oscar let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. In an instant, the pale pink light on his body suddenly changed, turning into a bright pink, and his whole body was bathed in this pink light.

Three spirit rings rose from beneath his feet. In addition to the original two yellow spirit rings, the third bright purple spirit ring demonstrated its immense power. Oscar had finally broken through the Great Spirit Master level and entered the Spirit Venerable realm.

Oscar, a level 31 Soul Master and a food-type Soul Master.

"Congratulations, Xiao Ao." Zhao Wuji smiled at him.

After obtaining his third spirit ring, Oscar underwent some subtle changes. He seemed to have grown taller, looked more energetic, and the most significant change was in his peach blossom eyes, which now shimmered with a seven-colored light, much like the energy released by the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent when it intimidated everyone.

Dai Mubai's hearty laughter rang out, "Xiao Ao, you're the second one among us to break through level 30. Congratulations! Let us see what your third spirit ring skill is."

Oscar was clearly thrilled to have obtained his third spirit ring, but when Dai Mubai mentioned his third spirit ring skill, his smile vanished, and he said awkwardly, "Never mind, let's talk about it when we get back."

Ma Hongjun said irritably, "Xiao Ao, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid we'll laugh at you? Surely your third soul skill's incantation can't be any more ridiculous than the first two. The brothers have put in a lot of effort for you, so hurry up and show us the results."

Oscar nodded helplessly. "However, it's a promise, you absolutely mustn't laugh when you hear my soul incantation."

Everyone nodded in unison, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Oscar raised his right hand and finally uttered his third incantation, "I have a mushroom sausage."

Pfft—Upon hearing his words, almost everyone burst into laughter at the same time. Apart from Tang San, who was still cultivating, even Zhao Wuji laughed heartily.
