Zhao WuJi charged at the Titan Giant Ape, ready to engage it in combat.
Ning RongRong and the others knew that their teacher was not foing to be able to hold it by himself.
"A name of seven treasure, first day: power!" Channeling her soul power, it had temporarily boosted Zhao WuJi's power to that of a titled douluo!
"Such a powerful support. Truly worthy of the most powerful support martial soul!" Zhao WuJi thought as he began to began punching and deflecting the ape's attack.
However, after doing so. Ning RongRong had almost collapsed, attemtping to support a soul saint as a Grand Soul Master was impossible.
She had almost exhausted all her soul power.
Pant, Pant
Zhao WuJi, though he was considered slow amongst his peers, could still travel short distnaces relatively quickly. Practically flying towards the ape.
"It's not going to be enough! Tang San, we have to assist Teacher Zhao!" Liu Yan told Tang San before creating crystal structures, attempting to distract the ape.
Bang, Bang
On one side, crystal clusters and dripstone like structures flew at the Titan Giant Ape.
Bang, Bang
Zhao WuJi battled it head on, reaching almost the same height as the ape but falling short by a few feet.
Tang San wrapped blue silver grass around the joints, attempting to restrain the ape.
Roaarrrr
The ape roared loudly, with a simple movement, the blue silver grass had snapped under the tension.
Snap
With that, Tang San was launched back immediately!
Ma HongJun jumped up, spewing flames at the ape, which had no effect.
The ape's eyes suddenly shined brightly before it rorared at Zhao WuJi, with that he was sent flying. His martial soul true body was broken!
"Shit! We need to leave! Everyone, run!" Tang San yelled, as he extracted hidden weapons, throwing fiercely at the eyes of the ape.
The Tiran Giant Ape held its arm high, attempting to grab at Tang San.
Fwoosh
Xiao Wu, twisted her body, using her long scorpion braided hair, wrapped it around Tang San's neck.
As she flung Tang San towards the back, tears of longing and sadness flowed down her face.
Time seemed to still, as the ape grabbed Xiao Wu with its hand. All they heard was Xiao Wu's weak voice…
"Brother… Take care…"
The Titan Giant ape roared loudly once again, sending all of them flying.
As Liu Yan and Ying Xuan were lifted up into the air, he wasn't too worried.
"Tang San is bound to get her back. We can play the waiting game now…" he thought as he prepared to land safely.
A shadow suddenly covered both of them, looking up… the Titan Giant Ape was not done.
It grabbed Ying Xuan before jumping away quickly.
Shock remained on his face for a few seconds before he yelled out angrily "Ying Ying!!!"
He had heard Tang San call out to Xiao Wu too.
Zhao WuJi punched a tree, he had just let two students be kidnapped by a soul beast.
"I'm chasing after it!!" Liu Yan declared loudly before catapulting himself after the Titan Giant Ape by creating crystals underneath his feet.
"Liu Yan, wait!" Zhao WuJi called out but he had long disappeared after the ape.
"I'm not going to abandon Xiao Wu!" Tang San grabbed a Mushroom Sausage from Oscar, before flying off.
"Damn it! You brats!" He cursed loudly as he watched Tang San's figure disappear amongst the trees.
Oscar approached him "Teacher Zhao, here. Eat these and rest up." He created a sausage.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and create more of what you gave Tang San! We chase after him!" Zhao WuJi said with a serious tone. Two students had been captured and now two more charged away to save the two, he was not going to let casualties happen under his watch!
Tang San chased relentlessly, determined to catch up.
However, luck wasnt on his side. He had ran straight into the only that his teacher, Grandmaster, had warned him to run away from.
As he came to a sudden halt, his way was blocked… a spider of immense size. Legs that were more three meters long. Eight eyes shined purple on its abdomen. It's legs silently stabbing into the ground as it inched closer.
He was face to face with the predator of predators.
The Man Faced Demon Spider
Liu Yan was getting closer to the ape. He called out loudly "Ying Ying!"
When he finaly got closer to see their silhouettes, he saw both of them sitting on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.
"Xiao Wu is a soul beast… I understand why the ape wants her but why Ying Ying too. Unless…" A thought surfaced in his mind, memories of how Ying Xuan and Xiao Wu came to the academy together, how they both seemed to know each other for a long time.
Ying Xuan looked back to see Liu Yan chasing relentlessly. She called out, "LiYan! Be careful! If you get closer, he might hurt you!" She didn't want to see Liu Yan dead, knowing the ape's temper.
"I won't give up!" He launched himself one more time when the Titan Giant Ape suddenly turned around.
Before Liu Yan could react, the ape had already swung its fist, slapping Liu Yan into the ground. Forming a dust cloud.
Liu Yan coughed blood, no matter how hard he trained, unless he was a titled douluo, he would definitely cough blood. Thankfully his body was more durable, but that didn't help with his consciousness.
Liu Yan had fainted after attempting to get up… collapsing to the ground.
Thud
As the ape prepared to leave, Ying Xuan stopped it.
"Er Ming, we can't abandon him! We're so deep into the Star Dou forest. He'll be devoured by the soul beasts!" She pleaded tearfully.
Even Xiao Wu had pleaded, though not as strongly. Liu Yan was like a distant cousin, not as close but still having a close bond with her.
Tang San and the others were lost in the outer zone, very few thousand year soul beasts would show up but they were in the middle now, chances of even ten thousand year soul beasts were high.
"B-but." The Titan Giant Ape spoke, it had higher intelligence than most humans.
Watching the tearful look of their little sister, he sighed and picked up Liu Yan gently, setting him on his shoulder.
