He knew that the real reason the Dragon God and Snake Goddess refused was not because they were afraid of being constrained, but because they had concerns about Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's style of doing things over the years has made many forces hesitate to act against her.

"What if Bibi Dong is no longer the Pope?"

Both the Dragon King and the Snake Queen were taken aback.

The two exchanged a glance and remained silent for a moment.

Lord Long slowly spoke: "Such a thing is probably unlikely."

Yang Jian nodded, having understood their thoughts, and did not press further.

He clasped his hands in farewell, then turned and left with Zhu Zhuqing.

Watching the two figures disappear into the woods, the Snake Woman withdrew her gaze and looked at the Dragon King.

"Old man, what do you think of that kid?"

"Exceptionally talented and with a profound mind," Long Gong succinctly commented, "He is no ordinary person."

Snake Granny leaned on her cane and pondered, "Under Bibi Dong's leadership, the Spirit Hall will unify the continent sooner or later. Joining now might be the right thing to do."

Long Gong shook his head: "Bibi Dong is ruthless. Even if you join, you might be killed on some pretext, and your family might be destroyed as well."

Snake Granny was silent for a moment before continuing, "That kid just now looks about the same age as Yiran, and he's already a Soul King. He'll definitely become a Title Douluo, or even a Limit Douluo, in the future. He seems very ambitious; he might even be able to oust Bibi Dong and become Pope himself."

Long Gong nodded thoughtfully: "If that's the case, joining the Spirit Hall wouldn't be a problem. At least he shouldn't be like Bibi Dong."

……

After absorbing the spirit ring, Meng Yiran stood up from the ground, stretched her body, and wore a joyful smile on her face.

"Grandma, I did it!"

The snake woman smiled and patted her head.

Meng Yiran looked around and found that Yang Jian was gone, and felt a strange sense of regret.

"Um...he's gone?"

"I'm leaving." The snake woman glanced at her granddaughter, raised her eyebrows, and smiled. "What, are you reluctant to part with her?"

Meng Yiran blushed and stomped her foot: "Grandma, what are you saying!"

The Dragon King laughed heartily beside him, his laughter echoing through the woods.

……

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest.

Yang Jian led Zhu Zhuqing on a aimless stroll, wandering around here and there as if they were taking a walk.

Zhu Zhuqing followed behind him, her doubts growing stronger.

She felt that Yang Jian seemed to be genuinely here for tourism.

Time flew by and it was evening.

Yang Jian found a relatively flat open space, took out a tent from his storage soul tool, and set it up.

There is only one.

He looked at the tent, then at Zhu Zhuqing, and said expressionlessly, "You sleep in the tent, I'll keep watch, and you keep watch for the second half of the night. We'll take turns."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the tent, her mind starting to wander.

A lone man and woman in the middle of nowhere, with only a tent.

If... if I were more proactive, perhaps something could happen between me and Yang Jian, and I could truly become his woman and obtain the method to become stronger.

However, as Zhu Zhuqing's gaze swept over the pitch-black forest around her and she listened to the distant howls of the soul beasts, she gradually dismissed her unrealistic ideas.

This is the Starry Sky Forest, and it's very dangerous at night.

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, quickly suppressing those chaotic thoughts.

"it is good."

She crawled into the tent, drew the curtains, and lay down in her sleeping bag, but couldn't fall asleep.

……

The next morning.

Yang Jian woke up from his sleep, stretched, and immediately began a mental scan.

Shrek and his group entered his perception range.

At this moment, Oscar was absorbing a spirit ring, not a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, but a Golden-horned Rattlesnake.

It seems that after snatching the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent from Oscar, he had to settle for a substitute.

Tang San's aura also changed.

Level 29 became level 30, a successful breakthrough.

Yang Jian's lips curled up slightly.

It seems that my changes to the plot have not affected the direction of the story.

So, Xiao Wu will be taken away by Er Ming today, and Tang San will also encounter the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

He stood up, went to the stream to wash up, and then woke up Zhu Zhuqing.

"It's time to go."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently beside her, glanced at Yang Jian, and blushed slightly as she recalled her thoughts from last night. She then lowered her head and silently packed up the tent.

The two then headed towards Shrek's group.

……

Meanwhile, Shrek and his friends were sitting in an open space.

Oscar had just absorbed his third spirit ring, and although his face was a little pale, he was in good spirits.

Standing next to him was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, a buzz cut, and an air of scholarly refinement.

Yu Xiaogang.

He glanced at Oscar, then at the crowd, a hint of pride on his face.

"Oscar, what is your third soul skill? According to my guidance, you absorbed the soul ring of the Golden Horned Rattlesnake, so your third soul skill should be able to increase the attack power of your teammates, right?"

Oscar nodded, his voice low: "That's right, my third soul skill is called Attack Snake Sausage. Eating it can increase attack power by 30% for three minutes."

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction, facing the crowd with a hint of pride in his voice.

"See? Oscar's is a pretty good soul skill. Back when I first arrived at Shrek Academy, you didn't believe my theories. What do you say now?"

Tang San showed an expression of admiration: "I've said it before, no one can match my teacher's theoretical knowledge. Everyone can rest assured. When you acquire spirit rings in the future, listening to my teacher's advice will definitely not hurt."

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, but for some reason, she felt uneasy.

Zhao Wuji stood to the side, not having any particular thoughts, and simply hummed in agreement.

Yu Xiaogang noticed that everyone was in low spirits and knew it was because of what happened a few days ago.

He cleared his throat and raised his voice a few decibels.

“I know that a few days ago, a kid named Yang Jian did something that made you guys feel uneasy.”

Tang San clenched his fists.

“But…” Yu Xiaogang changed the subject, his tone becoming firm, “With my guidance, you will definitely be able to surpass Yang Jian in the future, and revenge will not be difficult.”

"Now, Xiao San has also successfully broken through to level 30 and obtained his third spirit ring. I think the Human-Faced Demon Spider is the most suitable. Everyone, cheer up and search carefully."

"It's time to go back after we're done."

"I will develop a special training plan for that time."

"You all train properly according to my instructions."

"The future is absolutely limitless."

Everyone nodded and began to disperse to search for the human-faced demon spider.

Tang San walked beside Xiao Wu and whispered, "Xiao Wu, stay close to me, don't get separated."

Xiao Wu hummed in agreement, but her unease grew stronger.

They entered a dense forest where the light became dim.

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose without warning, rustling the leaves and kicking up dust.

"what happened?"

Zhao Wuji frowned.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow descended from the sky.

"boom--!"

The ground shook violently.

A colossal creature appeared before them.

It is over ten meters tall, with limbs as thick as tree trunks, and a pair of eyes like two lanterns, emitting a heart-stopping light.

Titan Ape!

Everyone is stupid.

How could a Titan Giant Ape appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?

"Roar!"

Erming's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Xiaowu.

A hint of humanity flashed in its eyes, and it stretched out its huge hand to grab Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's expression changed drastically, and he rushed towards Xiao Wu.
