Chapter 104: Zhao Wuji: "I Think They're All Acting!"

As the vibrant red crest atop the Feng Tail Crest Snake's head began to glow, its momentarily delayed speed surged once more.

When the Shrek Academy group witnessed this scene, they assumed Zhu Zhuqing would either die or be seriously injured.

After all, the colorful mist looked extremely poisonous!

However, Yun Feng remained unperturbed. He calmly called out to Zhu Zhuqing, who was enveloped by the mist above:

"Zhuqing, the Feng Tail Crest Snake's mist isn't poisonous."

Zhu Zhuqing, initially flustered under the mist, relaxed instantly upon hearing Yun Feng's reassurance.

Yun Feng didn't stay idle either. He summoned his martial spirit and unleashed his fourth soul skill.

Massive wings appeared behind Yun Feng, lifting him into the air. With a single flap, he dispersed the colorful mist. Meanwhile, his Blue Silver King vines followed his command, attacking the rapidly moving Feng Tail Crest Snake, attempting to bind it tightly mid-air.

Yet, the snake's body was so smooth that it quickly slipped through the bindings, escaping with a tiny opening.

Oscar, who had been jubilant just moments ago, froze in disbelief at the scene before him.

Yun Feng smirked subtly, as if mocking the situation.

He had no intention of letting the Feng Tail Crest Snake escape. Suggesting strategies or offering advice was one thing, but that didn't mean he would follow through entirely.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing acted swiftly to assist.

Ning Rongrong began her incantation from behind:

"Seven Treasures, Second Name: Speed!"

Her clear voice rang out just in time. Zhu Zhuqing felt her body lighten, her forward speed increasing sharply, enabling her to block the snake's escape route.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Zhu Zhuqing launched her second soul skill without hesitation: Ghost Shadow Thrust.

Clang—

However, their attacks only enraged the Feng Tail Crest Snake further.

With a sudden sweep of its fan-shaped tail, it sent Zhu Zhuqing flying mid-air.

Boom!

Zhu Zhuqing let out a muffled groan, her body hurtling back nearly ten meters before Yun Feng caught her mid-air and stabilized her.

After setting Zhu Zhuqing down, Yun Feng resumed his assault with his Blue Silver King vines, striking the snake precisely at its weak points.

Yun Feng understood the habits and vulnerabilities of soul beasts well. He knew exactly how to provoke the Feng Tail Crest Snake into a frenzy without causing it fatal harm.

Sure enough, under Yun Feng's relentless attacks, the previously calm Feng Tail Crest Snake became frenzied, its roars echoing through the sky.

Zhao Wuji, with his seasoned experience, recognized the danger immediately upon hearing the roar.

"This is a distress cry. Predatory soul beasts in the forest will surely come running."

In the natural order of survival, no soul beast could resist an easy prey.

Realizing the urgency, Zhao Wuji released his aura to deter nearby soul beasts. Fortunately, they were still in the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest. If they had been in its depths, such a move would have been suicidal.

After all, while soul masters could hunt soul beasts for soul rings, soul beasts could just as easily hunt soul masters to enhance their strength.

The Feng Tail Crest Snake, feeling the surge of power within itself, wasn't ready to give up. It thrashed wildly, its speed increasing. Before Dai Mubai and Tang San could react, they were sent flying by its tail, coughing up blood from the impact.

Tang San frowned, finding the snake's behavior puzzling. Its frenzied state didn't match what he knew from his studies.

"Why has the Feng Tail Crest Snake suddenly become so agitated?"

However, he quickly realized there was no time to dwell on it. Delaying further could lead to unforeseen complications. While he didn't particularly care whether Oscar obtained the soul ring, he didn't want to linger any longer in such a precarious environment.

Activating his Blue Silver Grass, previously buried underground, Tang San unleashed a sudden attack. The grass erupted from the ground, surging towards the low-hovering Feng Tail Crest Snake.

Yet, the snake's body had become unusually slippery, and the grass's barbs couldn't penetrate its scales. Instead, it wriggled free with rapid movements.

Seeing this, Yun Feng nearly laughed out loud. He had intentionally let the snake escape earlier, whereas Tang San had simply lacked the strength.

At this moment, Xiao Wu teleported above the Feng Tail Crest Snake's head. Wrapping her ankles around its head, her orange-yellow soul ring glowed as she activated her first soul skill: Waist Bow.

Xiao Wu's movements forced the snake to halt abruptly. She then executed a 180-degree aerial spin, slamming the snake downwards.

Boom!

A deafening crash erupted, accompanied by a cloud of ash that obscured everyone's vision.

Oscar, witnessing the scene, was overcome with excitement. But before he could celebrate, Zhao Wuji sensed something was wrong.

Within the dissipating smoke, the Feng Tail Crest Snake emerged unscathed, with only a few scales missing. Spotting an escape route, it darted toward Ma Hongjun.

Caught off guard, Ma Hongjun, who had relaxed his guard and was about to deactivate his martial spirit, was struck in the abdomen by the snake's tail.

Thud!

Ma Hongjun was sent flying, crashing through several trees before losing consciousness.

Zhao Wuji frowned at the scene but refrained from commenting as he glanced at Yun Feng and Tang San.

Realizing that letting the snake escape could prolong their stay in the forest, Zhao Wuji stepped forward decisively.

As his third soul ring glowed, the Feng Tail Crest Snake's body stiffened, its speed dropping significantly. It was Zhao Wuji's third soul skill: Gravity Enhancement.

Following this, his fourth and fifth soul rings lit up simultaneously. Zhao Wuji leaped into the air, landing directly in front of the Feng Tail Crest Snake under the guidance of his fourth soul skill, Tracking Positioning.

With his fifth skill, Gravity Crush, Zhao Wuji immobilized the snake completely. No matter how slippery it was, it couldn't escape the overwhelming force of Zhao Wuji's soul power.

Even a frenzied and strengthened Feng Tail Crest Snake was powerless before Zhao Wuji's absolute might.
