Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 144 As everyone knows, Shrek Academy doesn't keep its promises.
"There's an ambush!"

The moment Cai Meier peeked out, her scalp tingled. Without a word, she released her Martial Soul True Form, and a huge dark gold spear descended from the sky, standing in front of her.

At the same time, nine spirit rings appeared on her body one by one, attaching to the spear in front of her.

In addition to her seventh spirit ring, which had already lit up, her fourth and fifth spirit rings also lit up one after another.

"Fourth Soul Skill: The Edge of Evil Breaker!"

Fifth Soul Skill: Dragon Soul Defense!

The moment she released her soul skill, the three-colored fire pillars struck her true martial soul body directly, but were blocked by the Demon-Slaying Dragon Soul Spear, splitting into a V-shape on both sides of the giant spear.

Seeing this, the Red King stopped wasting his energy and closed his mouth, ceasing to spew flames.

Cai Meier also shrunk her Martial Soul True Body, held it in her hand, and looked at the other party with a wary expression.

"Red King..."

"Shrek's people!" The Red King's eyes flashed with ferocity, his three-headed mastiff bared its teeth, and his massive soul power began to surge violently.

It said that it had a bad feeling, and sure enough, all its unease was not unfounded.

Glancing at the three-eyed golden lion standing to the side, somewhat bewildered by the unexpected situation, the Crimson King breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood also became heavy.

The female Title Douluo from Shrek Academy in front of it was no match for it. This Crimson King was very confident. Having survived three Heavenly Tribulations, its strength was comparable to a level 97 Super Douluo, while Cai Meier was only level 94.

But what it was worried about was never Cai Meier, but rather the other Shrek Academy powerhouses who might be nearby.

On the other side, Cai Meier was also in a bad mood.

They didn't want to deal with these ferocious beasts when they entered the Star Dou Great Forest. Everyone was thinking of killing Lin Nuo and running away, trying their best not to touch the sensitive nerves of these beasts.

Others may not know, but something must have happened to her that they least wanted to see.

They actually ran right into the Red King...

"Why did the Crimson King attack me? According to the agreement, I did not hunt down any 100,000-year-old soul beasts from your Star Dou Great Forest." Cai Meier kept her voice as calm as possible.

It is precisely at times like these that we must remain calm.

The more panicked and disorganized you are, the more likely the situation will spiral out of control and become irreversible.

With her nearly 100 years of age and experience, Cai Meier is naturally not like a little girl who can only 'ah' when faced with problems.

She might want to reason with him, but the Red King didn't want to reason with her.

The Crimson King grinned, revealing a ferocious smile: "An agreement? You cunning humans, what kind of agreement do you even know? I bet you didn't keep your agreement not to hunt the 100,000-year-old soul beast, but rather I saw you and that's why I haven't had a chance to act yet, right?"

Laughing, what kind of agreement are you talking to me about deep in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Not to mention that Cai Meier's existence already threatens the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, even if the Crimson King himself were to wander around the Star Dou Great Forest and encounter a Title Douluo from Shrek Academy, he would still have to give her a sound thrashing. He would ensure she suffers a crushing defeat!

No matter what, the Crimson King had no intention of letting Cai Meier go. It glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside it and said in a low voice, "You leave first and go back to the Lake of Life. Don't come out. I'll teach this Shrek Academy's Title Douluo a lesson!"

"Don't worry, I've already sent a message to the Demon King. He'll be here soon. Just head back."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded, not going against the Crimson King. It was indeed very favored, but it would not take advantage of that. The current situation was clear: with a Title Douluo from Shrek Academy appearing, it was not suitable for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, with its noble status and important position, to stay and take risks.

Going back to the Lake of Life to hide is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

“I understand, Crimson King, I’ll go back now, but…” The Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned around and glared fiercely at Cai Meier, “You must teach this human a lesson! It’s all her fault that I have no food!”

Speaking of this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was so angry that its liver hurt. It was about to catch its prey, but it was scared away by the sudden confrontation between the Red King and Cai Meier, which left it hungry.

Cai Meier was completely bewildered, looking at the three-eyed golden lion with a thoughtful expression.

"It can talk? Is it a 100,000-year-old soul beast?" The thought had barely crossed her mind when Cai Meier dismissed it. "No, its soul power fluctuations are clearly less than 20,000 years old, but its aura is incredibly powerful. Moreover, the Crimson King's attitude towards it seems a bit too friendly."

"Even...respect?"

When this idea came to mind, Cai Meier was startled. How could the Crimson King, with over 300,000 years of cultivation, show respect to a soul beast that was only a little over 10,000 years old?

Soon, the words "Imperial Auspicious Beast" came to mind for Cai Meier. Even Xuanzi, with his pig brain, knew this, so Cai Meier, as the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, had naturally read the relevant records.

"An imperial auspicious beast? Is this the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?" Cai Meier looked at the rose-red vertical eye on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's forehead and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "No wonder the Crimson King is so persistent with me. He's afraid that I'll harm the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. It seems that today's matter will be difficult to resolve peacefully."

Now, both Cai Meier and the Red King are tacitly waiting for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to leave.

Cai Meier didn't want her actions to cause a conflict between Shrek Academy and Star Dou Great Forest, while the Red King didn't want to see the Three-Eyed Golden Lion get hurt; the two were very much in sync.

After the Three-Eyed Golden Lion completely disappeared, Cai Meier spoke sincerely, "Red King, I entered the Star Dou Great Forest this time only to find an enemy of our Shrek Academy, not to hunt soul beasts, nor did I intend to harm the Emperor Beast. You don't need to get entangled with me. After we find and eliminate the enemy, we will leave the Star Dou Great Forest on our own."

"You should know that ever since the incident with the Body Sect, Shrek Academy has always kept its promise to Star Dou, and this time is no exception. We hope that the Crimson King can do us a favor."

Cai Meier's words did indeed make the Crimson King hesitate for a moment.

If it weren't necessary, it wouldn't really want to take action. Protecting the auspicious beast was its primary task. If things were really as Cai Meier said, and they were just entering the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt down enemies, then letting go and ignoring them would be the best choice.

But it didn't hesitate for long, and its aura grew even stronger.

Soul Masters and Soul Beasts are eternal enemies. Over the past ten thousand years, Shrek Academy has harmed countless Soul Beasts. Letting go is indeed the best choice, but it does not conform to the true nature of the Crimson King.

"Human woman, further words are useless. Now that you have recognized the auspicious beast, I can no longer spare you!" The Crimson King roared, transforming into a streak of fire as he charged toward Cai Meier.

"Then I'll have to experience the Red King's amazing skills!" Cai Meier was also angered.
