Seeing that the other party was being so disrespectful, Ye Zhi Qiu felt a little embarrassed and activated his martial soul, causing five soul rings to appear on his body.
"Ha! So it's a turtle."
Ma Hongjun, with his sharp tongue, angered the other party with just one sentence.
"Since your teacher doesn't care, then I'll teach you a lesson on his behalf! I'll show you what it means to respect your teachers."
In fact, the Shrek Seven didn't really take Ye Zhi Qiu seriously. They thought he was just a Soul King at level 50, nothing special. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would win.
"You think you can teach us a lesson? You're not qualified! Brothers, let's go!"
Dai Mubai let out a tiger roar, activating his first and third spirit rings, and unleashed his second skill, Blazing Light Wave.
Ning Rongrong, standing behind, summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and began to buff everyone.
Hao Yun, who was watching the game, noticed a problem: the team had too many supports and lacked someone who could tank damage in the front line. Dai Mubai was at most a semi-tank.
Under Dai Mubai's cover, Xiao Wu appeared behind Ye Zhi Qiu, arched her back, and kicked Ye Zhi Qiu in the waist with her legs like springs.
Because of the protection of the tortoise shell, Ye Zhi Qiu was not seriously injured, but he was thrown into the air by the force.
Following closely behind, Zhu Zhuqing clawed at Ye Zhi Qiu's neck, seemingly preparing to kill him with a single blow.
At this moment, Ye Zhi Qiu suddenly retracted his head into the tortoise shell, dodging the attack and exhaling a burst of cold air.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was closest to the source, was instantly frostbitten by the cold air and let out a painful groan.
Dai Mubai grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and threw her out of the range of the cold air. Then, the combination skill of Xiao San and Ma Hongjun arrived, and a fire net bound Ye Zhi Qiu tightly.
"Hmph! This little bit of fire can't hurt me, but you've managed to push me to this point, which is quite impressive."
Ye Zhi Qiu's martial soul is the Xuan Turtle, which is naturally cold and not afraid of ordinary flames at all.
Chapter 61 The Snake Woman
Ye Zhi Qiu kept talking, but the Shrek Seven didn't listen at all. Tang San ignored her completely and immediately activated his second and third soul skills.
The second soul skill, the giant spider web, landed on Ye Zhi Qiu, binding him even tighter. Then, the third soul skill, the cage, emerged from the ground, reinforcing the outside with another layer.
"Ma Hongjun, set him on fire!"
Ye Zhi Qiu was in trouble this time. With three layers of reinforcement, Ye Zhi Qiu found that he couldn't break free for a while.
Ma Hongjun chuckled wickedly and began breathing fire at Ye Zhi Qiu, who was bound like a rice dumpling.
Despite being over level 50, Ye Zhi Qiu was still quite uncomfortable after being attacked like this, and even suffered burns on his arms.
"You old bastard, if you don't admit defeat, you're going to be roasted alive."
Ma Hongjun's taunts enraged Ye Zhi Qiu, and his second and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously.
Ye Zhi Qiu's second soul ring skill, Xuan Shui Bing Seal, can freeze opponents into ice blocks. He used it directly on himself, and then used his third skill to shatter the ice blocks and break the restraints on his body.
Hao Yun, who was watching the spectacle, frowned and rushed out when he saw that the other party was about to use the ten-thousand-year soul ring skill.
Holding Ye Zhi Qiu's head down, Hao Yun punched him in the tortoise shell, and with a crisp crack, the tortoise shell shattered into pieces.
puff!
Ye Zhi Qiu spat out a mouthful of blood. Luckily, Hao Yun dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been sprayed in the face.
After glancing at Canghui Academy, Hao Yun said coldly to the Shrek Seven Devils.
"After going back, you doubled your training, but you still can't even beat a Soul King of level 50 or so. What a waste!"
Hearing Hao Yun's words, Ye Zhi Qiu, who had been severely injured, fainted from anger. The students of Canghui Academy hurriedly took him away to the clinic for treatment.
The onlookers, seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, all dispersed.
Of the three rooms in the hotel, Hao Yun had one, and the remaining two rooms were for the seven people, one male and one female.
The next day at daybreak, Hao Yun led the group of seven to the Star Dou Great Forest. This time, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were the ones to obtain the spirit rings.
Both of them were just at level 30, and the upper limit of the spirit rings added at level 30 is over 1,700 years, so Hao Yun didn't take them deeper.
Finding suitable spirit rings for the two of them will really take some effort. Oscar's is simple; either a strength spirit beast or an agility spirit beast will do. It's just that Ma Hongjun's is more troublesome.
To avoid wasting time, Hao Yun led seven people to begin a large-scale search in the outer area.
"Boss, I've found a thousand-year-old soul beast here!"
Ma Hongjun shouted anxiously, after all, he had attached the spirit ring himself, so he put in extra effort.
The crowd gathered around and soon saw that the thousand-year-old soul beast Ma Hongjun had mentioned was actually an injured Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake.
Hao Yun clicked his tongue. This time, he brought Oscar out to hunt for spirit rings, which was at least many days earlier than the original plot. He didn't expect to run into the Dragon and Snake couple.
"This is a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent. Judging from its size, it is definitely no more than 1,500 years old, which is just right to be Xiao Ao's spirit ring."
Tang San observed the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent and quickly provided accurate information about the soul beast. His years of learning from Grandmaster had not been in vain.
Oscar, standing in the crowd, had a grin that almost reached his ears.
"Haha, I'm really lucky! Since it's a good fit, I'll get started!"
Oscar drew the dagger from his waist and eagerly walked to the crested serpent, plunging the blade into its head.
The severely wounded crested snake had no strength to resist and could only watch helplessly as it was killed.
A purple spirit ring emerged from the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent. Oscar retreated to a safe distance, sat cross-legged on the ground, and prepared to attract the spirit ring.
"etc!"
Two figures leaped down from the treetops and landed in front of the group. The newcomers were an old woman and a young girl, Snake Granny and her granddaughter Meng Yiran.
After the two landed, the Snake Granny saw the thousand-year soul ring emerging from the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent's body.
"We're still a step too late."
After saying this, Snake Granny's expression turned cold, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she stared at the young Shrek Seven Devils.
Hao Yun stepped forward just in time, blocking the Shrek Seven Devils. "Is something the matter?"
"Bald guy! We were the ones who spotted that crested snake first!"
When Meng Yiran saw that the soul beast she had reserved had been stolen, she shouted angrily.
This remark angered Hao Yun. Ever since he was ordained by Fahai, Hao Yun had noticed that his hair had stopped growing.
Although he had become bald and stronger, Hao Yun was still very unhappy. After all, who wouldn't want long, flowing hair, looking like a god?
Hao Yun snorted. Seeing that Meng Yiran was just a little girl, he didn't bother with her and just took it as innocent childish talk.
"Don't talk nonsense. This is the Star Dou Great Forest. Whoever finds a soul beast keeps it. Don't you know that rule?"
Hao Yun replied casually, not wanting to waste any more time here. His magic power had already reached level forty.
After accompanying the Shrek Seven Devils on their hunt for spirit rings, Hao Yun planned to take a trip to the ocean and find a 100,000-year-old spirit beast to get himself a spirit ring.
"Hmph! Ignorant brat, I, Snake Granny, will see if your body is as tough as your mouth!"
Snake Granny has a very bad temper; her and Dragon Lord's peerless dragon and snake titles were earned through fighting.
"You're not quite there yet. If all of you, the peerless dragons and snakes, came together, it would be quite a sight."
Not wanting to waste any time, Hao Yun instantly appeared behind the Snake Granny and replied in a cold voice.
Just as the snake-woman was about to make her move, her pupils contracted, and she quickly pulled Meng Yiran back.
"Young man, since you wish to experience the skills of our peerless dragon and snake, then let's meet again in the future for a contest. Farewell!"
The Snake Woman was quite startled; she hadn't even noticed the other person appear behind her.
Hao Yun snorted. This world really is all about strength. If he wasn't strong enough, he and his group would probably have been killed by Snake Woman to vent her anger.
"What are you looking at! Hurry up and absorb the spirit ring."
Oscar quickly sat down and guided the spirit ring into his body. An hour later, the spirit ring was fully absorbed.
"Get me a sausage to try."
Hao Yun walked up to Oscar and reached out to ask for a sausage.
A mushroom sausage was produced, its skill effect being flight. Hao Yun took a bite and found it quite tasty, with a faint mushroom flavor. He wondered if it would taste even better after being grilled.
"Hmm, it tastes pretty good. Bake a couple for me when I get back."
Oscar grinned as he received Hao Yun's praise. The other six people also gathered around to ask about the skill's effects. When they learned that eating the mushroom sausage allowed one to fly, they all looked at Oscar with envy.
"Let's go find a soul beast for Ma Hongjun."
The group seemed to have bad luck; they searched all afternoon but couldn't find a suitable soul beast for Ma Hongjun. That night, the eight of them found a flat spot to set up camp and rest.
Because of Hao Yun, the group of seven simply started a fire and cooked in the camp, since Hao Yun would take care of any spirit beasts they attracted.
After dealing with a few fearless soul beasts, Hao Yun made an unexpected discovery: a firefly about half a person's height was attracted by the campfire.
"Xiao San, come here and see how old this Flamingo is."
Tang San, who was cooking, heard Hao Yun calling him and hurriedly ran over.
"It seems to be around two thousand years ago, but the exact year can only be determined by close observation."
Hao Yun rolled his eyes. "Two thousand years ago, Ma Hongjun should be fine with it, right? Why don't we give it a try?"
Having made up his mind, Hao Yun rushed out to catch the flamingo, leaving the decision to Ma Hongjun to decide whether or not to.
Rushing out of the camp, Hao Yun was like a tiger descending a mountain, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the big tree where the flamingo was standing.
At that moment, the flamingo also sensed something was wrong and flapped its wings to fly away, but how could Hao Yun let it go? He leaped up, grabbed the flamingo's wing, and tore it off.
Hao Yun broke off the flamingo's wing and carried it back to the camp.
"Ma Hongjun, come here! This soul beast is quite suitable for you, but it's a bit past its lifespan. Do you want to absorb it?"
Chapter 62 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring
After some internal struggle, Ma Hongjun finally decided to absorb it. Having undergone grueling training by Hao Yun, he felt that his physical condition should be able to withstand a higher soul ring age.
Ma Hongjun cut the flamingo's neck with a knife and sat cross-legged, preparing to absorb the soul ring.
