Chapter 26: Dispute? Only Equal Strength Can Be Called a Dispute

Tang San looked at Dai Mubai and the other two with some embarrassment.

"What a coincidence."

"San Gui,"

Ma Hongjun quickly stepped forward and said, "San Gui,"

"Why are you here?"

Tang San scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward, and gave a sheepish smile.

"I suddenly missed you all, so I came to find you."

"San Gui," Ma Hongjun said earnestly,

"It's not that I'm lecturing you, but if you want to come, just be open about it. Is there any need to be so sneaky?"

"And 'missing us'? You don't even know how to tell a lie."

"Look, didn't we just bump into you?"

Tang San lowered his head even further.

"Speaking of which, that... you could actually bring yourself to do it?"

Ma Hongjun said gloomily,

"Hunger is one thing, but there's no need for us to be like that."

"Even if I were trying to resolve my Evil Fire, I wouldn't look for someone like that."

Tang San shook his head frantically, "That old woman isn't someone I looked for."

"But how did I see that old woman walking out of your room?"

"She must have gone to the wrong place."

"I just heard that old woman say you're a bit impotent?"

"No, no, how could I be impotent!"

Seeing Tang San like this, Ma Hongjun was even more convinced; after all, what impotent person would admit it?

Ma Hongjun patted Tang San on the shoulder, "Actually, I never said at the beginning that it was an old woman. I said, 'you could actually bring yourself to do that?'"

In an instant, Tang San froze. He had been tricked!

"Forget it, forget it,"

"Enough said, enough said,"

"Let's head back. We have things to do tomorrow."

Dai Mubai and the other two walked side by side toward the exit of the pleasure house.

Tang San lowered his head and followed them silently.

Humiliating, today was truly too humiliating!

Come to think of it, why would he be impotent?

It must be because that old woman was too disgusting. Although people say it's all the same with the lights off, it still felt repulsive in his heart!

Right! It must be that!

Early the next morning, after the eight of them finished breakfast, they gathered on the training ground. At this time, Zhao Wuji was already waiting.

Although Zhao Wuji had been struck by a palm from Tang Hao, no injuries were visible. However, there was one person here with a bruised face, beaten until they had panda eyes.

This person was Tang San.

Although Zhao Wuji was a bit surprised, he didn't ask much.

If it were a big deal, they would have told him. Since they didn't, it must have been a fight between students.

"Let's move out!"

"Mu Bai, you lead the team!"

Dai Mubai nodded and quickly made arrangements.

Dai Mubai and Tang San were at the front of the team, followed closely by Ning Rongrong and Oscar. On the sides were Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun, and at the very back were Ye Lin and Zhuqing.

"Maintain formation, move forward!"

Zhao Wuji followed the group silently from a short distance away.

On the evening of the first day, the group had already reached the small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. They stayed for a simple night, and only on the second day did they enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is extremely dangerous. At any moment, you may face attacks from thousand-year or even Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beasts. Everyone must stay within twenty meters of me. Without my order, no one is to attack a Spirit Beast easily!"

"Understood!"

The terrain in the Star Dou Great Forest is complex. Some parts have paths, but there are even more parts that have never been cleared.

Dai Mubai and Ye Lin were in the front. One popped out shattered tiger claws, and the other held an Immortal Sword, quickly cutting down the thorns and bushes blocking the way.

Both were already powerful, and although they took on the job of clearing the path, it did not reduce their speed of advance.

Soon, an hour passed.

Along the way, they encountered a few ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Beasts, but they were of no use. At Ye Lin's signal, they bypassed them and did not have any direct conflict.

"Alright, let's all take a rest."

Zhao Wuji's voice rang out.

Dai Mubai and Ye Lin quickly cleared a patch of open ground.

During the rest, even if a Spirit Beast were to suddenly attack, this open ground would serve as a buffer.

The group leaned against the trees to rest, recovering their Physical Strength. The deeper they went, the more dangerous it was, and the more they needed good Physical Strength to ensure safety.

Although Ye Lin knew the development of the plot, she was also paying attention at all times, because some things had changed, so she could not guarantee that the plot would proceed 100% according to the normal situation.

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji stood up with a 'swish', "Attention, something is approaching!"

The eight of them quickly assumed their initial formation and simultaneously released their martial souls.

The rustling sound was very rapid, showing the speed of the other party.

Zhao Wuji said quickly, "Zhu Zhuqing, go up and see what it is."

Zhuqing answered with action; her cat claws quickly gripped the tree trunk as she climbed upward.

A cat's eyesight is extremely good.

Zhuqing's voice rang out quickly.

"It is a snake that can fly, but it isn't flying very high, staying three meters above the ground; it has a blood-red crest on its head and a fan-shaped tail."

"Its movement is somewhat unstable; it should have been injured."

"Its length is between six and eight meters."

Ye Lin's voice rang out, "Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent!"

"Its ability is Speed; in terms of species, it is very suitable for Oscar. After absorbing it, it should provide a Speed-boosting soul skill, and because the Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent possesses flight capabilities, it might also provide flight."

"Judging from the length, six to eight meters, it is exactly between 1,600 and 1,800 years; the age is just right."

A strange light flashed in Oscar's peach-blossom eyes.

"Sister Lin, you know so much!"

"You're simply an encyclopedia!"

"That's truly amazing!"

Although Oscar was older than Ye Lin, he still admiringly called her Sister Lin.

Everyone except Tang San was also surprised, "You know so much."

"You'll know if you learn more, see more, and remember more,"

Ye Lin smiled slightly.

Tang San, who had his mouth open, closed it; originally, these words should have been spoken by him.

He had obtained a vast amount of theory from his foster father Yu Xiaogang, and now was the time to use it, yet he had missed the chance.

Zhao Wuji patted Oscar on the shoulder and said, "Oscar, you are in luck."

Oscar laughed, "Hehe."

Ye Lin had not finished speaking; she continued,

"However, the Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent's movement is unstable; it is clearly injured."

"To be running so fast while injured, it must be fleeing."

"Thousand-year Spirit Beasts rarely appear in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"There is a high probability that there is another group of people chasing it."

"We might have a conflict."

The others were even more surprised, "You can tell so much from just such simple information?"

At this moment, Tang San couldn't say anything either; indeed, he was not as good.

Zhao Wuji snorted coldly; although he was surprised by Ye Lin's ability,

he did not care if someone came over.

A conflict?

The prerequisite for a conflict is that the other party has equal strength.
