Chapter 2777: The Best Soul Ring_1

```

The tense silence lasted for a good ten seconds before it was finally broken...

Excited, Snow Dance rushed over to Shui Bing'er and hugged her tightly...

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Shui Bing'er scolded, "Snow Dance, what are you doing? Let go of me right now!"

However, Snow Dance ignored her protest and hugged her even tighter, "Bing'er, you scared me to death. If you had died, what would we have done?"

Shui Bing'er seemed to feel the other's concern and patted her on the back a few times, "Sorry for worrying you, but as you can see, I'm fine, aren't I?"

It was then that Snow Dance let her go and turned her gaze to Xu Sheng, thanking him very seriously, "Hey guy, thanks a lot!"

Although she disliked men, since he had saved Bing'er, she begrudgingly offered her thanks!

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Shui Bing'er shot her a disapproving look, "Snow Dance, don't be so rude!"

Then she turned to Xu Sheng to explain, "Um... my name is Shui Bing'er, and she is Snow Dance."

"Snow Dance didn't mean anything by what she said just now; it's just that she's a bit blunt!"

Xu Sheng still smiled in response, "Hmm, I can tell."

Shui Yue'er also came over, "Me too, me too, I'm Shui Yue'er!"

The others also stepped forward and introduced themselves in turn...

Gui Mei, watching this scene from a distance, was so frustrated he felt like spitting blood...

"This kid, I thought he had some ulterior motive for running off so far, but it turns out he was just playing the hero saving the beauty!"

But he couldn't really blame him, especially since those girls seemed to all be students from Skywater Academy...

After all, all the girls who could enter Skywater Academy were beauties!!

Yet Xu Sheng's words suddenly echoed in his mind…

"Ghost Douluo, you've been following me for so long, haven't you seen enough? Shouldn't you be getting back to Evil Moon and the others?"

"This is the Aquipeia Forest, after all. If they venture deeper, they could very well encounter a soul beast with a cultivation level of ten thousand years!!"

At these words, Gui Mei's pupils shrank...

"Damn it, I completely forgot about Evil Moon and the others!!"

With no other choice, he glared fiercely at Xu Sheng from a distance, then transformed into a ghostly shadow and hastened back the way he came...

If something happened to Evil Moon and the others, he definitely wouldn't have an easy time either!

...

After becoming familiar with the people of Skywater Academy, many questions soon followed...

"Xu Sheng? Your name is quite peculiar; at least, I've never heard such a name before!"

"Me neither, but how exactly did that Man-Faced Demon Spider die? It didn't seem to get anywhere near you!"

"And that's not even the weirdest part. You didn't release your Martial Soul, so how were you able to kick the Man-Faced Demon Spider away?"

"Also, also, why did you only act when Bing'er was in danger, was it intentional?"

Faced with these questions, Xu Sheng's expression didn't change at all as he answered each one in turn...

However, when the last question was dismissed, Shui Bing'er's eyes clearly showed a hint of disappointment...

But this emotion was soon swept away...

Surviving was already a stroke of luck; why should she fuss over these things?

Then she softly asked, "Xu Sheng, with your talent, you must come from a Great Sect, right?"

She wanted to know his background first!

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng casually replied, "No, I am from Martial Soul Hall. I came to Aquipeia Forest to acquire Soul Rings for my companions!"

"I sensed a strong soul power fluctuation over here and rushed over!"

Shui Bing'er mused, "I see, so Xu Sheng, are you going to look for your companions now?"

Martial Soul Hall, Xu Sheng!

```

I've got it!

Xu Sheng didn't deny it, "Hmm, I suppose they're still waiting for me at the place we were before!"

Shui Yue'er blinked her beautiful eyes and interjected, "Don't be like that, why not come back with us to Skywater Academy? Besides, I'd wager that sister would hate to part with you!"

Yu Hairou chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, a man as strong and handsome as Xu Sheng—if Bing'er doesn't want you, I do!"

But Snow Dance suddenly said coldly, "Skywater Academy is full of women; it's not suitable for Xu Sheng to enter, right?"

She had sensed it, the Xu Sheng before her might take away her Bing'er!

A huge threat!!

Although she was very grateful to him, that was completely different!

Shui Bing'er was clearly agitated by these words too, silently bowing her head, "What nonsense are you all talking about!"

"Xu Sheng, since your companions are still waiting for you, you should hurry back. Even though it's just the outskirts of Aquipeia Forest, it's better not to linger too long," she said.

Xu Sheng didn't say much either, simply gesturing, "Hmm, then, hope to see you again if destiny allows!"

If he stayed too long, Gui Mei would probably get very impatient!

As they watched him leave, Shui Bing'er finally raised her eyes once more to gaze at his receding figure...

Her heart felt somewhat troubled...

Shui Yue'er meanwhile covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Sister, you're just letting him go like that?"

She had seen it—although they hadn't known each other for long, her sister had obviously had her heart captured by him!

Shui Bing'er sighed, "What else could I do? He saved me, and it's not like he had any other intentions!"

Shen Liuyu's eyes widened with surprise, "Bing'er, you're not seriously falling for Xu Sheng, are you? He comes from Martial Soul Hall; being together might be difficult!"

The relationship between Skywater Academy and Martial Soul Hall was somewhat delicate!

Shui Bing'er subconsciously replied, "I... I don't know, but I guess I don't like Xu Sheng that much yet,"

Though she did feel a certain fondness!

Snow Dance interrupted the conversation without mercy, urging, "Alright, alright, discussing these topics with the dangers of the Aquipeia Forest around us is impractical. Let's head back to the academy!"

...

When Xu Sheng hurried back to join Evil Moon and the others, he found they had all sustained some non-fatal injuries!

Flame was the first to speak in a slightly aggrieved tone, "Xu Sheng, you're finally back!"

Disappearing just when a fight starts, how unreliable!

The latter sentence, however, was left unspoken!

Hulena joyfully exclaimed, "Welcome back, Xu Sheng!"

Xu Sheng nodded and feigned ignorance, "Sorry, I had to leave for a bit earlier. What happened to everyone??"

Evil Moon replied with a hint of pride, "We just encountered a soul beast that was very suitable for me, so a battle ensued. Thankfully, it was a success!"

Beneath his feet, two soul rings emerged...

Xu Sheng glanced at them and realized that the age of this Soul Ring was just at the limit of what Evil Moon could absorb; it was simply perfect!

"Congratulations, Evil Moon!"

"Thanks. But it was really thanks to Nana and Flame; otherwise, it might not have been possible to succeed," Evil Moon expressed gratefully...

Only then did Gui Mei emerge from the shadows and spoke, "Evil Moon, it looks like you've obtained a suitable Soul Ring."

"Now, let's return to Martial Soul City!"
