Upon hearing this sentence, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's gazes met...
It appeared that the abyssal creature was unaware of the unique combat method of Soul Fusion Skill among soul masters!
Perhaps, the situation wasn't as bad as they thought!
However, the most pressing matter was to ensure that Meng Yiran and her companion could escape!
After all, just being affected by the fringes of a Title Douluo level battle could be fatal!
With that thought in mind, they maneuvered the dragon-headed, serpentine creature to take flight, using its sharp front claws to launch an even more potent slash at the abyssal creature...
The astonishing force made it stagger back several steps...
Seizing the moment, Meng Shu cried out, "Xu Sheng, quickly take Yiran and leave!!"
Meng Yiran said with a crying tone, "No, I want to stay here, I won't leave!!"
If she left now, she might never see them again!
Xu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then silently sighed...
Then, he swiftly picked up Meng Yiran and fled towards the rear...
As they watched the two's presence fade into the distance, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang focused all their attention on the abyssal creature before them...
Now, they could fight with all their might!!
The abyssal creature regained its posture, its blood-red gaze fixed intently on them...
It immediately noticed two figures were missing!
Although it was annoyed, it didn't care too much!
Small fry like them, even if devoured, couldn't provide much power!
As long as the two old ones before it were still there, that was enough!!
Having said that, it too gathered power in its front claws and charged straight ahead...
...
Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, who had already escaped a distance away...
Meng Yiran, in his arms, kept struggling to get down, "Xu Sheng, let go of me, let go, I want to go back!!"
"Please, let me go, I want to be with Grandpa and Grandma!!"
Xu Sheng did not put her down but earnestly explained, "Yiran, calm down. The seniors will be fine, that abyssal creature only looks powerful but is actually very weak!"
But Meng Yiran didn't believe him at all, "Xu Sheng, stop lying to me. Grandpa had said before that even if he and Grandma joined forces, they might not win!!"
"That abyssal creature must be extremely powerful!"
Faced with her fuss, Xu Sheng also felt a bit of a headache...
"Alright, Yiran, I will first take you to the outskirts of the Aquipeia Forest. After that, I will go back to support the two seniors. How about that?"
If things went as planned, they should be able to kill the abyssal creature before the Soul Fusion Skill wore off!
Meng Yiran's eyes were filled with thick distrust, "Xu Sheng, stop joking around at a time like this. Although I don't know your soul power rank, but..."
But the next second, she widened her eyes, her disbelief turning into shock...
As if she had seen something horrifying!
Xu Sheng retracted his Martial Soul and couldn't help but ask in return, "Yiran, can you believe me now?"
Meng Yiran suddenly snapped back to reality, nodding her head like a pecking chicken...
Although it was hard to believe!
But the truth was right before her eyes!!
Xu Sheng, he might just be able to save Grandpa and Grandma!!
Seeing her calm down, Xu Sheng spoke again, "Since there's no issue, then I will take you to the outskirts now!"
Although their current location was not far from the outskirts, they might still encounter thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts!!
With Meng Yiran's current strength, encountering that would mean certain death!
Meng Yiran voluntarily left the other's embrace and shook her head, "No... there's no need, Xu Sheng, you should go support grandma and grandpa first, I will return to the outskirts of Aquipeia Forest on my own, and wait for you there!"
Compared to herself, she was more worried about Meng Shu and the other person!
Xu Sheng was also without hesitation, "Okay, then you must be very careful on your own!!"
Dealing with that abyssal creature shouldn't take too much time!
As long as the former doesn't provoke soul beasts actively, there shouldn't be any danger!
Meng Yiran crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Mhm, then I'll entrust everything to you, Xu Sheng!!"
From that moment on, her feelings for Xu Sheng had already climbed to a certain height...
…
The Education Committee!
Seeing Meng Shenji, who was the chief, stroked his salt-and-pepper beard and spoke first, "It has been so long, and Martial Soul Hall has not made any moves!"
"They most likely don't intend to pursue the matter with Heaven Dou Royal Academy, this incident with Xu Sheng should just pass!"
However, Zhi Lin suddenly retorted, "It's not necessarily so, just after we had clarified Xu Sheng's identity, we received a stern warning from Martial Soul Hall, so I'm afraid it's not as simple as it being over"
Bai Baoshan frowned upon hearing this and said, "Zhi Lin, I don't quite agree with your view. If Martial Soul Hall wanted to take action, they would have done so by now, not stayed as calm as they are."
He certainly didn't believe Martial Soul Hall would hold back for so long after being at a disadvantage!
Zhi Lin rolled his eyes at the former without good spirit, "Hmph, who knows if Martial Soul Hall is planning some big move in secret?"
He had no good feelings for Martial Soul Hall, not at all!
Especially for that Pope Bibi Dong!
Bai Baoshan still wanted to say something...
But Zhi Lin cut him off coldly, "Bai Baoshan, do not think too highly of Martial Soul Hall, the revolting things they've done surpass any other force!"
This statement made Meng Shenji unable to help but interrupt, "Zhi Lin, your thinking is really too extreme!"
It was just an investigation into a child's identity, not an intention to harm him; there's no need for Martial Soul Hall to start a major conflict!
Zhi Lin just crossed his arms and sneered without any intention to argue...
In any case, he wouldn't let down his guard against Martial Soul Hall!
Otherwise, one wouldn't even know how they died!
Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat awkward, Meng Shenji waved his hand...
"Enough, let's not talk about this matter today!"
"I recently heard from Teacher Qin that Dugu Yan, a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's first team, has been experiencing some problems with her cultivation!"
"She's already being distanced by her peers!"
Bai Baoshan thoughtfully said, "Dugu Yan? She should be Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's granddaughter, right?"
Meng Shenji nodded in affirmation, "That's correct, she is Dugu Bo's granddaughter!"
They had not chosen Dugu Yan for the first team because of Dugu Bo's face; it was because her talent was truly exceptional!
Bai Baoshan then pondered, "According to the academy's rules, Dugu Yan should be immediately removed from the first team"
But well... that Dugu Bo is not someone easy to mess with, and he has close ties with Prince Xue Xing, so the decision must be made cautiously!"
Zhi Lin, however, disagreed with this view, "No, no matter what background Dugu Yan has, if her strength cannot keep up with the team, she should be kicked out!!"
"After all, this represents the face of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, we can't tolerate any trash!!"
