44 IMAGINE THE LAST SENTENCE OF THE CHAPTER AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED. BUT READ IT AT LAST AS READING IT BEFORE MIGHT RUIN YOUR MOOD.

Zhao Wuji then yelled at Oscar who was standing there.

"Oscar what are you still waiting for, go and quickly kill it before it dies by Tang Ming's spear."

Oscar was a little startled but he nodded his head and hurriedly took out a knife to end the snake's life, only to be stopped by a cold hoarse voice.

"Stop!"

Two figures can be seen making their way toward them.

The two figure was actually two women, one old who looks around sixty year old and other an extremely beautiful and young girl who looks to be around 17-18 years old. They both were wearing luxurious robes and gowns that only a noble wears which also shows they're from a good background.

As they neared, they all can see the old woman holding a staff which has snake head with six rings 2 yellow,2 purple and 2 black ring floating around her and the young woman was also holding the same looking staff with snake head with 2 hundred year spirit rings floating around her.

'So the two of them finally arrived, I really wanted to see Meng Yiran. She really is beautiful and has a hourglass figure." Tang Ming knew both of them so he wasn't surprised as the rest.

At this time fatty can't help but drool looking at the younger one, Meng Yiran definitely was beautiful and to add cherry on top, she has quite a developed body. She was also wearing skin tight outfit which showcased her curve which can easily make any man's thought wander around it.

She also looked quite angry which also added to her charm.

Everyone was naturally surprised seeing someone suddenly but breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the one with the highest cultivation is with only six rings which shows that she is a spirit emperor. As Zhao Wuji was a seven rings spirit sage, he can easily handle this matter.

"You can't kill this spirit beast. We hunted it." At this time the old woman said coldly. Her tone has a domineering feeling as if they refused they would definitely regret it.

"You hunted it? My students hunted this snake and killed it, what prove is their that you hunted it."

Zhao Wuji naturally was no pushover, he only acted with tolerance toward Shrek Academy and it's students. Many would know about the notoriety and tyranny of Zhao Wuji until he decided to retire and become a teacher at Shrek Academy.

Hearing that she said and in a domineering tone, Zhao Wuji immediately revealed his seven spirit rings.

"Seven rings, Spirit Sage!"

The old woman said with a surprise before her eyes frowned slightly.

She only thought that the highest spirit level these person would will be spirit king, who knows that a spirit sage would appear at the outer area of Star Dou forest.

As she thought to herself, ' Looks like this matter is not going to be solved easily.'

"Honourable Spirit Sage, you can see that there is indeed a wound on Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent stomach left by us as a proof as it belongs to us."

The old woman became humble after seeing that the other party is a spirit sage. Her domineering tone vanished immediately as she knew that she was in a disadvantage.

"Just because you hurt it once doesn't mean that the spirit beast belongs to you. All spirit beast are unowned and whoever caught it first gets it. Now that we have hunted it, why does it belongs to you?"

Before Zhao Wuji can say, Oscar said with a slight anger in his tone. He was naturally angry as this snake was hunted by all of his friends for him and was going to be his third spirit ring. And the old woman just said it was their from nowhere, how can he not became angry.

"Although you hunted it but because we injured it first did you have the chance to catch it. This snake is very suitable for my granddaughter third spirit ring. Give this old woman Chao Tianxiang some face. I was given the title Snake Woman by friends in spirit master world. My husband is Meng Shu also known as Duke Long." The old woman said proudly.

After speaking she looked at Zhao Wuji, who's face changed a little but he laughed and said :

"It turns out to be Duke Long's wife. I have also heard of the famous Dragon-Snake duo. My name is Zhao Wuji and the snake was defeated by my students. It just happens that my students also needs a spirit ring and this Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent is the best for him."

Zhao Wuji has also heard of Dragon-Snake couple. They became famous when he was still young. From what he knows Duke Long has reached Spirit Douluo. And it is said that they both have a Martial Spirit Fusion Ability by which they both can even fight against a Title Douluo.

Hearing this both Meng Yiran and Chao Tianxiang was stunned.

"Oh, it turns out to be the famous Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji.. Wait, did you say that your students defeated that Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent?"

"Liar!" The younger Meng Yiran looked unconvinced as she pointed at Tang Ming who just happens to standing at the tail of serpent while holding his spear as she continued, "This is a more than thousand year old spirit beast. He looks younger than me, how can a person who have level 30 can defeat it?"

The old woman also narrowed her eyes as she can't feel spirit power of any of them but then looked at Zhao Wuji and said, "Mr. Zhao, all of your disciples looks around 13-14 years old. have they alos reached level 40? How can they defeat this thousand year spirit beast?"

It is naturally Tang Ming who erased their presence and spirit power fluctuation by his illusion ability so that no one can sense them.

Chao Tianxiang knew that her granddaughter talent is also very good, now she's less than sixteen year old and has reached level 30. But the opposite children looked more younger than her granddaughter and also claimed to reached level 30, which was even outstanding.

As soon as she said, Zhao Wuji has that smile on his face which basically said that she was going to lose.

Tang Ming also smiled after hearing what she said as he too was getting fed up with this shit. He lifted up his illusion so that they can show their spirit power.

Zhao Wuji then looked at all of them with a grin and said, "Okay, so brats we need to let senior Snake woman see . Brats come forward and show your martial spirits."

As soon as he said, they all who was unable to bear this for a while stepped forward and lit up their rings.

Tang Ming also lit up his rings and obviously he was using illusion.

Suddenly more than a dozen spirit rings lit up and Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran swallowed whatever they are going to say. Thay can easily feel the spirit power and what shocked them both was that not one but four people has reached level 30.

Zhao Wuji then beckoned Oscar to come near him as he said, "This student is called Oscar and has reached level 30 and the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent was for him. Now do you believe, Senior."

The snake woman face was a little ugly as she didn't think that not one but four of them has reached level 30.

The aptitude of thses children are outstanding.

"Grandma, are we going to give up just like that?"

Meng Yiran said with a little anger and frustration. Why would she not, she always believed her to be a genius but looking at all of them who were younger than her reached level 30 obviously broke her arrogance.

"Mr. Zhao, how about this. We both don't want to let go of Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent. So why don't we let children decide it according to the rules of spirit master world." The old woman suggested in a deep voice.

Well, in Douluo continent there is an unwritten rule that is if two parties wanted the same spirit beasts and both have the same strength, then they will fight to decide who will take it.

Zhao Wuji smile and shook his head as he said, " Senior Chao, my disciple can't fight because he is a not a combatant but a food spirit master."

The old woman this time was clearly surprised which can be seen as her eyes went wide after hearing that. The food spirit master is a level 30? And only looks to be under 15?

The old woman can't help but again take a glance at Oscar.

Now she really can't ask him to fight as he was a food spirit master and her granddaughter is an agility attack type spirit master.

At this time, Meng Yiran looked at Tang Ming who was still holding the end of the spear. A fierce glint passed her eyes as she pointed at him again and said :

" Let me fight him as he too is a level 30 spirit master and by the looks of it he has a spear martial spirit. It will be fair, right?"

The snake woman also looked at Tang Ming and nodded.

Zhao Wuji and the rest were shocked hearing that she wanted to fight Tang Ming but then looked at her with a pitiful gaze. Even Zhuqing who always has a cold look also looked at her with pity in her eyes. Zhao Wuji also smiled as he thought. 'She could have chose anyone else and would still have a chance to win but this little girl really has to chose that brat.'

The old woman also felt something was wrong looking at these people who were giving strange look toward her granddaughter.

Tang Ming too was a little surprised hearing this as he thought to himself. 'The fu*k, wasn't she supposed to chose Tang San as an opponent. No wait, if I remember correctly it was Tang San who spoke first to challenge her in the original.'

He then looked at Tang San, who looked really eager to fight. Tang Ming then said, " Why don't you fight Tang San? He is also the same level as you and you'll also save some face."

Meng Yiran then looked at him with contempt as she said, " Why? are you afraid to lose? I won't fight anyone else and if you won't fight, this spirit beast will be mine."

Now Tang Ming can't refuse her or he will be considered a coward and as a person with pride written on his face, he will never refuse a challenge.

He then looked at her with seriousness as he said :

"Afraid? Now why will I be afraid of someone who is weaker than me? I just didn't wanted to break your will.

But oh well, if you want a fight, then a fight you get."

Meng Yiran became more furious after hearing him say she is weak but she controlled her anger and then looked at Tang Ming coldly as she thought.

'I'll let you see this miss might. You'll be begging me to stop. Hmph.'

But little did she know the terror of Tang Ming that every Shrek Seven felt when going against him.

She got in her fighting stance as she stood with her snake staff in front of her.

Tang Ming didn't do anything but just activated his [Observation Haki] and [Godspeed]. He had also derived another ability from the use of [Godspeed] called [Hyperactive]. It can slow his perception of time to a very high degree, where everything looked like it was happening in a slow motion but he can still move in a very high speed because of [Godspeed]. He hasn't reached to the point where he can slow his perception of time to a standstill but he was working on it.

He really was inspired to make this move after remembering one of the fastest hero on his previous life called 'Flash', who can do something similar.

His mental and physical power was more than enough to be in this state for a continuous ten minutes but more than that it will start to take a strain on him.

There is no need to use it against Meng Yiran but he didn't know why but he really wanted to break her arrogance and willpower, so as she never again looks down on him. Maybe it's because of his previous life where he was always looked down that made him never wanted to have the same feelings of being looked down.

As he activated [Observation Haki], [Godspeed] with [Hyperactive], everyone slowed down in his perception. He then said with a lazy tone :

"Tang Ming, a 30th-level spirit elder, Spirit Primordial Spear, Assault System spirit master. Please advice."

For anyone else and Meng Yiran, Tang Ming looked like he was standing there arrogantly as he only held the spear with his right hand and the other one in the pocket. If anyone looked at him, they can easily see that he looked indifferent.

"Meng Yiran, 30th-level spirit elder, spirit Serpent Cane."

Meng Yiran was getting furious by the moment but didn't say anything as the first spirit ring lit up and she muttered :

"First Spirit Ability : Tongue blade!"

She attacked with her snake cane as a blade that looked like a snake tongue shot out from the serpent cane.

Tang Ming didn't do anything but just stood there without any defence. Looking at him not moving and also without any defence, Meng Yiran was ecstatic as she smiled and thought that the blade will hit Tang Ming.

But as the blade penetrated Tang Ming, the smile on her face froze as she felt no resistance and felt like she was hitting air. It was an afterimage that soon dissipated into lightning sparks as Tang Ming's figure disappeared. As she wasn't prepared for it, she lost her balance and tripped down.

Everyone including Zhao Wuji and Snake woman was shocked seeing this as they too didn't saw him move.

As they looked around to find him, he can be seen standing while leaning on a tree with his spear resting on his shoulder.

Tang Ming really wanted to make Meng Yiran fall in his [Eternal Illusion] and break her spirit but he can't.

As he can't use spirit ring ability without exposing its original colour and the simple illusion without the use of spirit ring ability can be broke easily.

Meng Yiran stood up with a little embarrassment as she glared at him and said, "You! I'll kill you!!"

She then repeatedly attacked him with her Serpent Cane and also used her spirit ring ability in between but Tang Ming easily dodged it and flickered here and there.

From a third party viewpoint, it looked like a little girl is running in cirlcle while truing to catch something. It seriously looked awkward. But Tang Ming has no mood for direct confrontation as he kept using [Godspeed] and dodge all her attack.

After doing this for a little more than ten minutes, when her spirit energy is just a little left, she glared at Tang Ming while panting as she said in agitation, "Why are dodging? If you're a man come and fight me face to face."

Tang Ming looked at her with a raised eyebrow as he thought 'Why does this statement looks that it was being said by the wrong gender.'

He then said lazily, " As you wish but don't go crying to your grandparents after that."

He then took his spear and held it a little backward while standing in his usual stance. Suddenly his whole aura changed as Meng Yiran felt that she was being stared by death herself while looking at Tang Ming's eyes which suddenly changed to a bright silver with a golden Ouroboros symbol for a second.

She immediately used her second spirit ring as it lit up.

"Second spirit ability : Serpent Body"

This ability makes her body flexible and slippery lika an actual snake which can easily let her evade attacks.

Tang Ming didn't stop her from using her spirit ability.

After she finished and got in a defensive stance, Tang Ming didn't say anything as his body disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in front of her.

She was startled and tried to dodge but before she can react, Tang Ming pulled back his right hand and thrusted his Spear forward muttering :

"Foundation Spear Technique ; First Stance : Flood Dragon Goes to Sea!"

'AANGG!!'

A dragon roar can be heard as the spirit power rushed from the tip of the spear forming a blue serpentine dragon, which immediately came in front of her.

Meng Yiran was shocked and didn't know what to do at this moment as she simply closed her eyes and covered her face with her arms expecting to get hit.

'BANNGGG!!!'

An explosion was heard but Meng Yiran didn't felt the blow hitting her as she expected. She opened her eyes to see Tang Ming with his left hand stretched with a complicated expression on his eyes. Tang Ming then pulled back his stretched arm as he recalled his Spear.

She can see that Tang Ming showed mercy on her as the spear was slightly to the right which let her escape the blow. She then remembered the explosion sound as she looked back but what she saw made her eyes wide as her jaw dropped.

Her mouth opened so wide that more than two thick cock the size of Zhao Wuji's can slide back and forth easily.( Hahaha just joking, did you just imagined that. Ahahahahahah, Shame on you😂😂)

*****************************************

A/N : Here's today's chapter. SO ENJOY MDAFKRS.

And I'm going to change [Observation Haki] name to [Divine Sense] as he will use his [Observation Haki] with his mental power that will let him have a complete and clear understanding of anything in his [Divine Sense] range.

[Observation Haki] only let's people have a certain understanding of the surrounding but didn't give a clear image for whatever is happening like you can sense any person in your [ Observation Haki] range but you could not see their faces.

But [Divine Sense] would be the same as in other Xianxia novels, which is basically like having a mind's eye and can easily and clearly know what is happening in its range. You can even count how many legs does an ant have even from 100 m far.

So I think you all get what I'm saying, right? Then here we go... Ahem..cough..cough..

GIVE ME SOME POWER STONES YOU BEACH OF A SUNS.

Any suggestions, reviews and comments are appreciated either good or bad. Now I'm out.
