Chapter 101

In the original novel, Shrek Academy and Meng Yiran, together with her grandparents—Long Gong Meng Shu and She Po Chao Tianxiang—stopped interfering with each other after Oscar's third soul ring came into contact once.

Then after Xiao Wu was taken by the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San, while chasing Xiao Wu, ran into the Human Face Demon Spider. This Human Face Demon Spider was the third soul ring that Long Gong and She Po had prepared for Meng Yiran, and Tang San killed it, and then he encountered it again.

After that, there basically wasn't any significant interaction.

In fact, Gu Xuan was also quite speechless about this. As for She Po, not to mention, she's already in her sixties despite being several decades old, only level sixty-plus, her first soul ring is still a white ten-year soul ring, basically no hope of becoming a Soul Saint; having the title She Po is probably just because she rode on Long Gong's strength.

After all, the two still have a martial soul fusion skill called comparable to a Titled Douluo.

But Meng Shu's strength is now eighty-seven level, just three levels away from breaking through to Titled Douluo; with such strength, even without using the martial soul fusion skill with She Po, he shouldn't have let a thousand-year soul beast escape twice from his subordinates.

Unless Long Gong is an idiot, watching the soul beast escape without stopping him, otherwise a full-power strike from him, with his eighty-seven level formidable strength, would at least seriously injure even an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast, if not kill it.

The key is, in the original novel, the two thousand-year soul beasts Meng Yiran chose for her third soul ring both escaped from his hands twice! Does he even deserve to call himself a Soul Douluo?

And Gu Xuan now actually sees Meng Yiran in Shrek Academy's team? What the hell is going on? Is it just because Ning Rongrong didn't go to Shrek Academy, so Meng Yiran just joined Shrek Academy by circumstance? They're just trying to make up the Shrek Seven Monsters?

Moreover, wasn't Meng Yiran already studying at the Exotic Beast Academy? This is also saying things can be changed if they can be changed?

Um… okay, her grandfather is a Soul Douluo, the kind that can press Flandre to the ground and beat him, so there shouldn't be any problem, and I reckon Flandre and Zhao Wuji would also like that.

After all, Meng Yiran broke through to level thirty at fifteen; this talent is actually not low either. With proper training, in Zhao Wuji's eyes she's also a future promising material.

Although Gu Xuan was a bit surprised to see Meng Yiran appear in Shrek Academy's team, now is not the time for him to think about these things, after all this show is still quite entertaining.

Only seen inside Shrek Academy's camp, Zhao Wuji charged straight at the Titan Giant Ape; at the instant when the two huge bear paws smashed into the Titan Giant Ape, his whole body actually bounced off like a cannonball and flew out.

And the Titan Giant Ape also seemed to underestimate Zhao Wuji's strength; its whole head was jerked backward by the blow, and then the forest king let out a heaven-shaking angry roar.

Being stung on the head by an insignificant little bug, the Titan Giant Ape got angry.

As the Titan Giant Ape angrily roared to the sky, Tang San, relying on his Purple Extreme Magic Eyes, clearly saw a horrifying scene.

As the Titan Giant Ape roared, it burst out a layer of black qi wave from its body; immediately, whether it was Dai Mubai and him attacking from the ground, or Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu trying to attack from the trees, they were all flung away by this terrifying black qi wave and fell down.

The Blue Silver Grass entwined around the Titan Giant Ape shattered inch by inch; the maternal Blue Silver Grass he prided himself on as his mother basically had no hindering effect at all.

That feeling was like trying to bind a ton of steel with hair strands; besides being overconfident, there was nothing else but overconfidence.

Because Tang San was the first to see the appearance of that black qi wave, his reaction was also the fastest; while retreating at high speed, although he was shaken into the air, he could barely control his body, and he happened to catch Xiao Wu, who was also blown away.

Dai Mubai's strength was the strongest among everyone except Zhao Wuji, but because he was too close to the Titan Giant Ape, while being blown away he also involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although he was blown away and spat blood, his gaze drifted backward, trying to find Zhu Zhuqing's figure.

Wanting to throw himself into a warm embrace.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was also blown away at this time, so she had no mind to look at Dai Mubai.

The most unfortunate was the malicious Ma Hongjun; his Phoenix Flame Line spewed out was completely rolled back by the black qi wave, although he himself was activating his second soul ring skill Bathing Fire Phoenix, he still got heavily struck by his own Phoenix Flame Line.

Then he rolled on the ground for a while, only stabilizing his posture with Tang San's help when he reached Tang San's feet; fortunately the flame was his own, so it didn't scorch his body.

Otherwise it would be like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice, directly ending up with a blasted chicken tongue.

The Titan Giant Ape was enraged; at the same time the black qi wave erupted, its huge body finally made a violent move, almost at a speed indiscernible to the naked eye it sprang up, its huge body descending from the sky, pressing straight toward the direction where everyone was gathered.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji's body was still spinning in the air; he had been blown upward diagonally, and even if he now wanted to go rescue, it was already too late.

Although the others had taken precautions against the Titan Giant Ape's speed, they still underestimated this terrifying forest king before them.

The enormously huge body flew toward them at an illusory speed; that Mount Tai-like pressure made everyone feel breathless.

At the critical moment, it revealed each person's different reaction speed.

The fastest to react was Tang San; years of practice with hidden weapons gave him reflexes far beyond ordinary people; at the first opportunity he flung the Xiao Wu he was holding in his arms diagonally upward, thus being the first to escape the Titan Giant Ape's pounce.

Then Tang San kicked Ma Hongjun backward with a foot; the others also reacted accordingly. Oscar and Meng Yiran were originally farthest from the Titan Giant Ape, so naturally they could only try to stay as far away as possible.

However, although the Titan Giant Ape's attack was overbearing and powerful, no one lost their lives under its terrifying power; while everyone else was relieved, only Tang San's eyes were icy cold.

Because he clearly saw that the Titan Giant Ape's forelimb suddenly lifted up, perfectly catching the Xiao Wu he had flung into the air trying to escape.

"No—! Let go of Xiao Wu!!" Seeing Xiao Wu fall into the Titan Giant Ape's huge palm, Tang San's eyes instantly turned blood-red.

Without waiting for his body to stabilize on the ground, he fiercely kicked the ground, launching himself straight up; using a nearby large tree for leverage, he leapt, his hands flashing from his waist, and more than ten rays of cold light shot up simultaneously, straight for the Titan Giant Ape's eyes.

The eyes are one of the few vital points on the Titan Giant Ape's body, or rather, the eyes are a vital point for any living being.

At this moment Tang San's heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley; he knew very well that with the Titan Giant Ape's strength, as long as it exerted a little force with its hand, Xiao Wu would inevitably be crushed into a rabbit meat patty, and even if her body were extremely flexible she could not survive.

Also at this moment, Zhao Wuji finally landed on the ground, and he likewise witnessed the scene of Xiao Wu falling into the Titan Giant Ape's grasp.

At this point, how could Zhao Wuji still hold back? He let out a heavenward roar, and the deep black soul ring arranged seventh on his body suddenly burst forth.

Intense brown-yellow light instantly spread over Zhao Wuji's entire body; immediately, his body began to undergo a huge change.

Under the effect of the seventh soul ring, Zhao Wuji's already extremely sturdy body rapidly inflated like a balloon; in the blink of an eye his height exceeded seven meters, his muscles bulged in an exaggerated manner, his brown-yellow hair grew wildly, and he actually turned into a true giant bear.

When his body had completely turned into a Mighty Vajra Bear, the brown-yellow hair instantly changed color, shining with golden-yellow light; the bear-formed Zhao Wuji, without hesitation, lunged toward the Mighty Vajra Bear that was holding Xiao Wu's arm.

Having manifested his martial soul true form, Zhao Wuji immediately attracted the Titan Giant Ape's attention; after all, even being bitten by a bug would cause an itch, let alone a bug that had grown larger.

At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape merely made a simple motion, causing Tang San's all-out hidden weapon attack to lose effect; it simply gently closed its eyes.

Ding Ding Ding…

In a series of dense crisp sounds, all the hidden weapons flying toward the Titan Giant Ape's eyes were completely blocked by its eyelids.

At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape's body suddenly straightened up, grabbing Xiao Wu's big hand to dodge Zhao Wuji's pounce, while its other mighty arm collided solidly with Zhao Wuji's body.

Having manifested his martial soul true form skill, Zhao Wuji was indeed formidable; this time he was not directly blown away, but despite that, as a power-type Soul Master he still fell far short of the Titan Giant Ape's strength.

In a tremendous roar, Zhao Wuji was slapped back seven or eight steps before barely stabilizing his stance, while the Titan Giant Ape acted as if nothing happened, letting out another angry roar.

The black qi wave blew Tang San, who was fully unleashing his hidden weapons, and his hidden weapons themselves flying far away, where they heavily struck a large tree, life or death unknown.

"No!!" Xiao Wu exclaimed in shock as she watched Tang San being blown away.

"Xiao Wu isn't dead!" Upon hearing that voice, that was Tang San's final thought in his mind.

The Titan Giant Ape lowered its head to look at the Xiao Wu in its grasp, letting out another low roar; this time it ignored Zhao Wuji who came lunging again, suddenly leapt up, and with just one jump it was already a hundred meters away, disappearing into the forest.

"Xiao Wu—" Zhao Wuji shouted loudly, wanting to give chase, but he realized his speed was nowhere near that of the Titan Giant Ape.

Moreover, the strong shockwave the Titan Giant Ape had just given him nearly shattered his martial soul true form; with his soul power now greatly depleted, he knew that even if he caught up it would be useless.

Watching this scene unfold, Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked toward Gu Rong, and softly said: "Grandfather, I have a plan……"

ps: Typos will be corrected later.
