Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Xiao Yan couldn't help but gasp. Although he had grabbed his second and third soul rings on the spot when he couldn't hold back anymore, he still focused on various fire-attribute soul beasts!

"What's wrong?" Hearing the conversation between the two, the others curiously came closer.

“Oscar is about to absorb his first thousand-year soul ring, and I think he should decide on his future direction now,” Xiao Yan said, shrugging. “But Oscar hasn’t even thought about his career path!”

While expressing his disappointment, Xiao Yan also shared the two points he had summarized the previous night.

"Do you have any recommended soul beasts for these two types?" Zhao Wuji, who had been listening in, asked after hearing Xiao Yan's explanation.

“Taking speed enhancement as an example, if you want to develop a military-type character, I recommend the Ghost Cat and the Wind-Treading Wolf, which are unique speed-type soul beasts,” Xiao Yan licked his lips. “They are not fast, but they can summon a breeze when they are stealthy at night or running, making them a first-class weapon on the battlefield.”

"Team-oriented..."

At this point, Xiao Yan paused slightly.

During this pause, Tang San and Zhao Wuji simultaneously turned their gazes in the same direction.

"Be on alert, something's approaching!" Zhao Wuji whispered a warning, his eyes fixed on the direction.

Immediately, everyone released their martial spirits and protected Ning Rongrong and Oscar in the center of the crowd.

"It's a crested snake, three meters off the ground. It seems to be fleeing, and someone must be chasing it."

When the rustling sound grew louder and louder, so loud that even Ning Rongrong could clearly sense something approaching, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up.

'Your mental strength isn't as good as mine, but can you clearly understand the outline?' Tang San glanced at Xiao Yan furtively.

"A Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent? This kind of soul beast is quite rare, but I wonder how old it is..." Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, then he said with some regret.

"How long is this crested snake? What color are its wings?"

No sooner had Zhao Wuji finished speaking than Tang San suddenly asked.

"The wings are light red and about seven meters long," Xiao Yan replied calmly.

"Forget about the length, how did you even perceive the color?" Zhao Wuji looked at Xiao Yan with a strange expression.

“Talent.” Xiao Yan smiled.

"This is a thousand-year-old crested serpent. Its pale red wings are a sign that it has evolved to a thousand years old. Its seven-meter length indicates that it is about fourteen hundred years old. It's perfect for you, Oscar."

During the conversation between Zhao Wuji and Xiao Yan, Tang San roughly determined the year.

"The Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is a soul beast known for its speed, so it's a great choice if you want to develop a team-oriented character," Xiao Yan added after Tang San finished speaking.

"Boss Yan, Little San, you two are amazing! I'll choose this one!" Oscar's eyes lit up, and he made his choice without much hesitation.

"You two seem to know each other quite well? Then who can tell me how to capture it?" Zhao Wuji said, marveling at how Shrek Academy had really struck gold this time.

"The nemesis of snake-type spirit beasts is crane-type spirit beasts, but Ma Hongjun's phoenix is ​​even more effective. Moreover, these types of spirit beasts are not very aggressive, so we just need to be careful not to let it escape..."

"coming!"

Before Tang San could finish speaking, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake passed through the bushes and came to the group.

'The one above is...'

As the snake, seemingly paralyzed with fear, charged towards the nine people, Xiao Yan looked up. There, a remarkably fast eagle-like soul beast stood—

As Xiao Yan looked up, Ma Hongjun, under Tang San's command, spat out a line of fire that blocked the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent's path, forcing it to stop abruptly in mid-air and change direction.

Just as it turned, Zhu Zhuqing pounced, her first spirit ring lighting up, and her cat claws stabbed towards the body of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

Seven Treasures, One Name: Strength

Seven Treasures, Named Second: Speed

Ning Rongrong's soul skill amplification acted on Zhu Zhuqing before her cat claws landed on the snake's body. As a result, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was slapped to the ground by Zhu Zhuqing. The Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent's slippery body made it impossible for her thrust to penetrate accurately, so Zhu Zhuqing changed her thrust into a slapping attack midway.

On the ground, the blue silver grass that had been prepared suddenly rose up, and it looked like it was about to bind the body of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

A golden figure suddenly swooped down from the sky, grabbing the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent before the Blue Silver Grass could bind its body. Then, it flapped its wings violently, seemingly about to take off.

“Gravity…” Zhao Wuji’s deep voice rang out, and his third spirit ring was about to light up—

click!

Along with the Blue Silver Grass, Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent, and the eagle-like soul beast that Tang San was controlling, they were all sealed inside by the purple-gold ice.

"……what?"

The change came too quickly, and everyone looked at the instigator, Xiao Yan, with blank expressions.

"How...how did you do that?"

Tang San glanced at the large block of ice, then at Xiao Yan, and after confirming that the distance between them was about ten meters and there were no flames in between, he asked in a dry voice.

"Instant cast?"

Dai Mubai looked like he'd seen a ghost. He had always thought that Xiao Yan's soul skill required contact before it could be used, but he hadn't expected it to be unconditionally and instantly activated!

"Ice Flame Trap".

Although what they both thought was true, Xiao Yan did not intend to directly reveal the truth about the fighting technique he had created on a whim.

"The Ice Flame Wolf's innate soul skill allows it to activate its remaining soul power wherever I go, freezing the target at any time."

"I have heard of this innate soul skill..." Zhao Wuji said with a strange look, "but isn't the prerequisite to use soul power to mark it?"

As Zhao Wuji approached the ice block, he asked a question while simultaneously grabbing the ice block, fearing that the two soul beasts might break free and escape.

“Yes, but didn’t I use my soul power when I was cleaning up the area just now?” Xiao Yan said matter-of-factly.

"...What is the other soul beast?" Tang San gave Xiao Yan a deep look before changing the subject.

"Hmm? You didn't even know about the mistress?"

Oscar looked at Tang San strangely. In his eyes, Tang San and Xiao Yan were now an encyclopedia of soul beasts. He didn't expect that they would encounter a soul beast that Tang San didn't recognize so soon.

"Where is Boss Yan?"

"Uh... I have seen the picture book, the name seems to be Golden Gale Eagle, but I don't know how to determine its age." Xiao Yan spread his hands helplessly.

"Its body length is less than one meter, its wingspan is three meters and four inches... It is about seventeen hundred years old. All small soul beasts are its food. In terms of speed alone, it far surpasses the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent of the same age."

To everyone's surprise, it was Xiao Wu who explained the age of this soul beast at this moment.

Looking at Xiao Wu, who was talking so confidently, Xiao Yan was completely dumbfounded: Tang San doesn't know the name of this soul beast, and I don't know how to determine the age of this soul beast. Why do you dare to tell everyone? Have you thought about how you're going to explain this later?

Chapter 43 Snake Woman

"Xiao Wu, how do you know all this?"

After Xiao Wu finished explaining the Golden Gale Eagle, Tang San asked incredulously.

"what……"

At this moment, Xiao Wu finally realized that she had said the wrong thing. The "master" she usually used as an excuse was actually Tang San's teacher. If Tang San didn't know something, she couldn't possibly know it either.

Seeing Xiao Wu's somewhat speechless expression, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, then said in a slightly exaggerated manner:

"I saw a picture book of this spirit beast at the Spirit Hall before, but it was only for a short time and I couldn't remember all the contents. I didn't expect that you, Xiao Wu, would remember it all!"

"No, that's right, I saw it in the Spirit Hall's library!" Xiao Wu, who had unexpectedly found a good excuse to get out of the predicament, continued to speak rather awkwardly, following Xiao Yan's words.

"The Spirit Hall? But Xiao Wu, you..." Don't you never read books?

"Oh, I sometimes go to the Spirit Hall's library to read some storybooks," Xiao Wu patted Tang San's shoulder. "It's normal that you don't know, Xiao San!"

"Is that so?" Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu, who seemed a little flustered, and then at Xiao Yan, who had been stopped by Zhao Wuji. He felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Alright, things could get complicated if we wait too long, let's get started."

Seeing that Xiao Yan had thawed the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent, Zhao Wuji casually took out a short knife from his waist and handed it to Oscar, who was standing dumbfounded to the side.

"Stab it from under the fleshy crown. That way you can directly pierce its brain, and then this spirit ring will be yours."

Oscar excitedly took the dagger. At this moment, the thousand-year-old soul beast was like a lamb to the slaughter in front of him. His third soul skill was about to be used, and he was so excited that his hands trembled.

Just as Oscar was about to deliver the final blow, a hoarse, piercing shout suddenly rang out—

"stop!"

Immediately afterwards, two figures darted out from the direction where the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent had appeared, and an old woman and a young woman stood in front of the crowd.

"We were the first to discover this crested snake."

As the elderly woman spoke these words, she released her martial spirit, and a three-meter-long cane with a snake's head appeared in her hand, with six spirit rings pulsating around her.

Glancing at the old woman, Xiao Yan picked up the thawed Golden Gale Eagle by its wing and walked to the side. For some reason, the thousand-year-old soul beast remained motionless when Xiao Yan picked it up, as if it had been caught by its natural enemy.

Noticing this, Ning Rongrong became even more convinced that Xiao Yan's mental strength was terrifyingly strong.

The others were surprised to see the two appear, but they calmed down after seeing the six spirit rings on the old woman. After all, Zhao Wuji's seven spirit rings were no joke.

"The soul beasts in this Soul Beast Forest are all unclaimed. Does that mean that just because you found it first, this snake is yours?" Zhao Wuji's voice was somewhat stiff, but there was no hint of sarcasm in it.

Even Dai Mubai and Oscar detected a hint of gentleness in those words, to the point that they wondered if there was something wrong with their ears. For a moment, Oscar, holding the dagger, was caught between a rock and a hard place.

The old woman seemed to have recovered somewhat: "We discovered this snake first and started hunting it; otherwise, why would we have tracked it all the way here?"

"My name is Zhao Wuji. May I ask your honorable name?"

While stopping Ma Hongjun, who lacked tact and couldn't help but want to say something, Zhao Wuji ignored the old woman's assertive words and asked.

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji introduce himself, the old woman felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that this matter was going to be difficult. However, she still calmly said, "I dare not. I am Chaotianxiang. I am honored by the respect of my friends in the Soul Master world, who have given me the title of Snake Granny. My husband, Meng Shu, is known as Dragon Lord. My friends in the Soul Master world call us the 'Peerless Dragon and Snake'."

After confirming that his previous guess was correct, Zhao Wuji's expression changed slightly. He had naturally heard of the name "Peerless Dragon and Serpent"—

This couple debuted very early and are exceptionally strong, especially Long Gong Meng Shu. When Meng Shu first heard of Long Gong's name, Long Gong was already at the Soul Saint level. Even now that he has reached the Soul Douluo level, he would not be surprised at all.

The Dragon Lord's martial soul is a dragon-headed cane, which complements the Snake Lady's snake-headed cane. The couple possesses an extremely domineering martial soul fusion skill, which is said to be unstoppable by anyone but a Title Douluo.

Zhao Wuji was merely a Soul Saint. Although the Snake Woman before him was somewhat weaker than him, as long as the Dragon Lord appeared…

"Aren't you two inseparable? Where's your husband? If he were here right now, I'd turn around and leave without a word!" Zhao Wuji responded to the Snake Woman with a forced smile, while inwardly complaining.

Chao Tianxiang clearly didn't want to get entangled with Zhao Wuji any longer, so she went straight to the point: "I'm a bit older than you, so I'll take the liberty of calling you Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao, this thousand-year-old Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is extremely important to my granddaughter. She has just reached level 30 and needs a suitable soul ring."

"We were the first to discover and wound this crested serpent, but it escaped by accident. Could you please do us a favor and return this spirit beast to us? I will remember this kindness and repay you in the future."

"Sister Chao, this matter is probably not easy to handle!" Zhao Wuji looked troubled.

The girl standing next to Chaotianxiang couldn't help but speak up: "What's so difficult about it? We were the ones who found this thousand-year-old crested serpent first. If we hadn't already injured it, would you have been able to get it so easily? Give it back to us now, or we'll be very rude to you." As she spoke, she raised the snake-headed cane in her hand.

'You little brat…'
