Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

But looking into Xiao Wu's confident pink eyes, Meng Yiran didn't say anything more.

Two days later, at the entrance of the Beast Academy.

Chaotianxiang leaned on her snake-head cane, sizing up the pink-haired, pink-eyed girl in front of her.

Is she the little dance sister that I've been talking about every day lately?

Chaotianxiang has lived to such an old age and has seen many geniuses, but the feeling she gets from this girl is very special.

A Soul Master at twelve years old—that's truly astonishing talent. But...

What caught Chaotianxiang's attention even more was that this little girl possessed an indescribable quality, combining the liveliness and agility of a human girl with a natural wildness.

"You are Xiao Wu?" Chao Tianxiang asked, her voice gentle yet authoritative.

"Yes, senior."

Xiao Wu bowed obediently, but her pink eyes stared unabashedly at Chao Tianxiang.

Chao Tianxiang nodded inwardly.

He is neither arrogant nor humble, and his eyes are clear; he is indeed a promising talent.

"You still told me you wanted to go to the Star Dou Great Forest with us for training?" Chao Tianxiang asked.

"Yes," Xiao Wu nodded.

"I've already found it hard to find a worthy opponent in the academy, and I want to go out into the real wilderness to see what it's like."

These words sound arrogant, but when they came from Xiao Wu's mouth, they seemed perfectly natural.

Chao Tianxiang recalled the things Yiran had been telling her these past few days: how Xiao Wu had conquered the entire Beast Academy in a month, and how she had made those proud Soul Masters call her Sister Xiao Wu with complete respect.

If all of this is true, then this child certainly has reason to be arrogant.

"Do you know how dangerous the Star Dou Great Forest is?" Chao Tianxiang asked again.

"I know," Xiao Wu answered readily.

"But I know even more that a Soul Master who dares not face danger will never become a true strongman."

A hint of admiration flashed in Chaotianxiang's eyes.

These words struck a chord with her.

She and the old man were able to earn the reputation of "Peerless Dragon and Snake" in the world of Soul Masters not by hiding in a safe place to cultivate, but by fighting on the edge of life and death time and time again.

"Okay." Chaotianxiang finally nodded.

"You can come with us. But you must remember one thing: in the forest, you must follow my orders. If you encounter danger, do not act recklessly."

Xiao Wu smiled brightly: "Thank you, senior! I will definitely listen!"

......

The outer edge of the Starry Sky Forest.

Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu, along with Meng Yiran and Xiao Wu, had been searching here for most of the day.

Their goal is to find a suitable thousand-year-old snake-type soul beast as Meng Yiran's third soul ring.

However, suitable spirit beasts are not easy to find.

Too weak, and it wouldn't be worthy of Meng Yiran's Serpent Staff Martial Soul. Too strong, and there's a risk of accidents during absorption.

Therefore, Meng Shu and the others parted ways, with Meng Shu going off alone in another direction to search for the soul beast.

Just as Chaotianxiang was considering whether to go deeper, a strange noise suddenly came from the bushes ahead.

"Watch out!" Chao Tianxiang immediately shielded the two girls behind her, held her snake-headed cane horizontally in front of her chest, and her six spirit rings lit up instantly.

The next moment, a colorful figure darted out from the bushes at an astonishing speed.

"A phoenix-tailed crested snake!" Chao Tianxiang's eyes lit up.

This is one of the most suitable soul beasts for Yi Ran!

If the speed and flight ability of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent could become Yiran's third spirit ring, it would definitely boost her strength significantly.

"Yiran, prepare!" Chaotianxiang shouted, her figure shooting out like lightning.

The snake-headed cane drew a strange arc in the air, striking precisely at the belly of the crested serpent.

"hiss!"

The crested snake, in pain, let out a sharp hiss and increased its speed, making a sharp turn in the air as it tried to escape.

"Trying to run?" Chao Tianxiang sneered, her third soul ring lighting up.

"Third Soul Skill, Snake Shadow Binding!"

Several snake shadows, formed from soul power, sprang out from the cane and coiled around the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent as if they were alive.

This was clearly not the first time the crested snake had encountered such an attack. It suddenly flapped its wings, its colorful scales shining brightly, and actually managed to break free from the snake shadow's restraints, accelerating its escape once again.

"Damn it!" Chao Tianxiang cursed under her breath.

That beast is too slippery.

Just as she was about to give chase, she saw the crested snake rush into another dense forest and disappear.

"Grandma, it ran away!" Meng Yiran shouted anxiously.

"Chase!" Chao Tianxiang didn't hesitate and led the two girls after them.

They chased it for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and finally found traces of the crested serpent again.

But just then, a violent fluctuation of soul power suddenly came from ahead.

Chao Tianxiang's expression changed: "Someone's here!"

When she arrived with Meng Yiran and Xiao Wu, they witnessed Zhao Wuji knocking out the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

Meng Yiran's exclamation made Chao Tianxiang unable to hold back any longer.

"stop!"

......

"So it was Senior Snake Granny."

Zhao Wuji clasped his hands in a fist salute, his tone was polite, but his body leaned forward slightly, adopting a guarded posture.

His gaze swept over Chao Tianxiang, lingered on Meng Yiran and Xiao Wu's faces for a moment, and finally settled on the snake-headed cane in Chao Tianxiang's hand.

A peerless dragon and snake.

This name is renowned throughout the world of Soul Masters.

The Dragon Lord Meng Shu, the Snake Lady Chao Tian Xiang. This couple debuted very early and possessed extraordinary talent.

Especially Long Gong Meng Shu, when I first heard of him, he was already at the level of a Soul Saint.

So many years have passed, and even if he were to reach the Soul Douluo level now, Zhao Wuji would not be surprised at all.

What's even more troublesome is the couple's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The dragon-headed cane and the snake-headed cane complement each other perfectly. Once the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is unleashed, its power is comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

Unless one possesses the true strength of a Title Douluo, it will be difficult to withstand.

Zhao Wuji's mind raced.

The Snake Woman is here, so the Dragon King must not be far away.

This is troublesome.

Chao Tianxiang looked at Zhao Wuji with a gentle smile on her face: "Hello, esteemed Soul Saint, you cannot give this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent to this child."

Her tone was polite, but the meaning behind her words was unquestionable.

Zhao Wuji frowned: "Why?"

Chao Tianxiang smiled slightly and pointed her cane at the crested snake on the ground: "Young man, don't worry. Look at the belly of this crested snake. There are two wounds on its abdomen, caused by my cane. There are also some under its wings."

She paused, then continued, "We've been tracking this crested serpent for most of the day, but we accidentally let this slippery little guy escape. My granddaughter just reached level 30 and really needs this spirit ring."

Chao Tianxiang stepped aside, making way for Meng Yiran behind her: "As you can see, she inherited my weapon spirit, the Serpent Staff. A high-level snake-type weapon spirit is the most suitable for her."

Upon hearing this, both Zhao Wuji and Oscar looked toward the belly of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

Chapter 287 Proposal

Just as Chaotianxiang had said, there were two clear staff marks on the snake's belly and a wound under its wing, which looked like fresh injuries.

Zhao Wuji's face darkened.

If the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was indeed discovered and injured by the other party first, then according to the rules of the Soul Master world, it should indeed belong to the other party.

But how could he easily give up such a suitable soul beast that he had finally found for Oscar?

Moreover, although the other party is in the right, their strength...

Zhao Wuji's gaze swept over Chao Tianxiang.

Soul Emperor.

He is indeed very strong, but he himself is also a Soul Saint.

If it were just Snake Granny alone, Zhao Wuji wouldn't be afraid at all.

The question is, where is the Dragon King?

Zhao Wuji weighed the situation in his mind, but his face remained expressionless: "Senior, we captured the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent first. According to the rules of the Soul Master world, whoever captures it owns it. You say that you injured the serpent first, but there's no way to prove that."

That's a bit of a shameless statement.

Chao Tianxiang's face also darkened.

She never expected that the other party, a Soul Saint, would be so shameless.

"Young man, are you trying to cheat this old woman?" Chao Tianxiang's tone turned cold, and she lightly tapped the snake-headed cane in her hand, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Zhao Wuji's heart skipped a beat, but he refused to back down: "Senior, you flatter me. I was just following the rules. We captured the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent first, so it should naturally belong to us. If you are not satisfied, you can go find other soul beasts."

"You!" Meng Yiran was so angry that her face turned pale. She gripped the snake staff tightly in her hand, and two yellow spirit rings lit up. She was about to step forward to argue.
