"I'll go take a look," Zhu Zhuqing said as she gathered her soul power, pushed off the ground, and quickly leaped onto a tree branch, using the nearby trees for support.

"Huh, Zhuqing seems to have made great progress in her cultivation," Zhao Wuji squinted his eyes. He had observed Zhu Zhuqing's strength at the Soto City Battle Arena before, and at that time, she wasn't this strong. Now, she had clearly made significant improvements.

Upon closer inspection, he sensed that her soul power had indeed increased significantly. She had improved by an entire level.

Just the day before yesterday, he had checked, and she was at the peak of level twenty-seven. Now, she was not far from level twenty-nine.

Such a quick improvement?

Zhao Wuji glanced at Zhao Ming. He knew Zhao Ming must have given Zhu Zhuqing some kind of precious resource; otherwise, her cultivation wouldn't have advanced so rapidly.

Those girls are lucky to have found such a great man. Zhao Wuji couldn't help but sigh internally.

Although Zhao Ming was somewhat flirtatious, he was generous. Giving something so valuable to a girl he had only been dating for a few days showed Zhao Ming's open-heartedness.

Zhao Wuji admitted that, even if it were him, it would take at least a year or so of a deep relationship before he would give something so precious to his partner. But Zhao Ming had no such hesitation.

He couldn't help but admire Zhao Ming for this.

An open-hearted gentleman, unlike the petty individuals. Among all the people he had met, only Zhao Ming could be called a true gentleman.

Zhu Zhuqing relayed the information she observed to Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji was delighted, "A Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake? This type of soul beast is quite rare, and the cockscomb on its head has many wonderful uses. Oscar, you're in luck. Zhuqing, keep an eye on it."

"Teacher, the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake is heading in our direction, and it seems unstable, as if it's injured," Zhu Zhuqing reported with a frown.

"It was probably injured while fighting another soul beast," Zhao Wuji replied nonchalantly.

"But these flying soul beasts aren't easy to catch."

"I'll go catch it," Zhao Ming said with a smile. Capturing such flying soul beasts was perfect for him.

Without hesitation, Zhao Ming spread his wings.

In an instant, he shot up into the sky.

He quickly reached the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake. Black flames surged, enveloping his hand as he grabbed the snake.

"Sizzle." The high temperature scorched the snake's body, and a smoky, burnt odor filled the air.

Grasped by Zhao Ming, the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake struggled desperately, but it couldn't escape his grip. It twisted its head and opened its mouth, spitting out a cloud of colorful mist toward Zhao Ming.

However, the mist was incinerated by Zhao Ming's black flames before it could even touch him.

With the snake firmly in his grasp, Zhao Ming hurled it from the sky.

He then swiftly stomped on the snake's head as it landed on the ground.

After being thrown down, the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake was dazed. With Zhao Ming's foot pinning it, it couldn't break free.

"Oscar, come over. This spirit ring is yours." Zhao Ming brushed his hands off nonchalantly, as if subduing a thousand-year-old soul beast was no big deal.

Even though the students had seen Zhao Ming's prowess before, watching him in action was still a shocking experience for them every time.

Gradually, this shock turned into admiration.

At that moment, Oscar looked at Zhao Ming with admiration. "Brother Ming, you're amazing. A thousand-year soul beast looks like a toy in your hands."

"Of course. Stick with me, and I'll make sure you live a good life." Zhao Ming patted Oscar on the shoulder with a smile.

"From now on, Brother Ming, you're my boss. I'll follow your lead." Oscar said, eyes full of devotion.

Watching Zhao Ming display his prowess, Oscar suddenly felt that being his subordinate wouldn't be so bad.

Because he was convinced that Zhao Ming would one day shake the entire Douluo Continent and become a legendary powerhouse.

If he followed Zhao Ming, he, too, could make a name for himself. Who knew, maybe he'd even have his name recorded in the annals of history alongside Zhao Ming. And if he became stronger, he might even find a beautiful girl.

With Zhao Ming's charm, he would definitely have many beautiful women around him in the future. Zhao Ming couldn't possibly have them all. Maybe Oscar could enjoy some of the benefits of being near him.

"Brother Ming, from today on, I'm your loyal follower. Just give the command, and I'll do anything." Oscar said with a cheeky grin.

Hearing Oscar's declaration of loyalty, Zhao Ming was momentarily surprised. He hadn't expected Oscar to offer himself as a subordinate. Knowing the situation and adapting was a wise move, and Zhao Ming didn't dislike such a loyal follower.

Oscar's fawning behavior didn't bother Zhao Ming, as it didn't impact him.

Moreover, Oscar had a lot of potential; he was worth nurturing. At the very least, Oscar could officiate his and Ning Rongrong's wedding someday.

"You have good foresight, Oscar." Zhao Ming chuckled, "Go ahead and absorb the spirit ring quickly. Waiting too long might bring trouble." Zhao Ming hinted, knowing that Meng Yiran and the Snake Lady would likely arrive soon.

In the original story, the Snake Lady had no choice but to give up because Oscar had already killed the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake. Continuing the dispute would have been pointless and would have risked offending people.

But if Oscar hadn't killed the soul beast yet, the Snake Lady certainly wouldn't have let it go so easily.

In all fairness, it was indeed Meng Yiran's soul beast. They had weakened it, and the Shrek group had swooped in to finish it off, which was somewhat unfair.

However, in the world of soul masters, strength was what mattered.

The strong ruled, and Zhao Ming adhered to this principle. Though he understood Meng Yiran's perspective, he wouldn't break the rules.

No matter how charming he was, he wouldn't lust after someone he hadn't even met.

But if she truly was beautiful—wait, why was he thinking about that again?

Honestly, if Meng Yiran turned out to be attractive, he'd deal with it then.

He was always generous when it came to beautiful ladies. After all, there's a saying that when a man lets a woman take advantage of him, it's often so he can get more in return later.

Snapping back to reality, Zhao Ming saw Oscar had already taken a short knife from Zhao Wuji. The knife, sharp and made of refined iron, was obviously a high-quality weapon.

Holding the short blade excitedly, Oscar prepared to receive his third spirit ring. His enthusiasm was palpable.

Without hesitation, Oscar aimed the knife at the cockscomb of the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake.

He struck with precision, killing it instantly.

At that moment, a raspy, angry voice suddenly echoed.

"Stop!"
