It was a tiger soul beast, with grayish-white fur all over its body, and a pair of purple-red eyes that looked fierce. The most conspicuous thing about its body was its huge claws that were much larger than those of ordinary tiger soul beasts.

This tiger-like soul beast was about two meters long, and it brought Chen Zifeng a lot of pressure when it walked towards the two of them. From its speed and breath, it could be identified that it was at least a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Zhao Xin said in a deep voice: "This is a giant claw tiger, a very aggressive soul beast. Judging from its two-meter-long body, its cultivation has been at least more than two thousand years. If its hair turns completely white, it will be a ten-thousand-year-old giant claw tiger. The means by which this soul beast can run rampant are its giant claws, and it also has a high concentration of white tiger blood."

The knowledge learned in the academy played an extremely good role at this time. Zhao Xin's simple introduction also made Chen Zifeng remember this soul beast. In Shrek Academy, there are four classes every week dedicated to soul beasts. The giant claw tiger is not rare, so they have naturally learned about it.

"I'm afraid the battle is inevitable. What do you think of this giant claw tiger as your third soul ring?" Zhao Xin whispered to Chen Zifeng.

"Well~ Although this soul beast is not in my plan, it is better than I thought. Let's take it." Chen Zifeng agreed after a little consideration.

While Zhao Xin was speaking, the giant claw tiger had already pounced over like a gray lightning bolt, and its first target was Zhao Xin, who was standing in the front. Its two front paws popped out, and a layer of light that was not bright but like water waves emanated from its gray-white fur.

Zhao Xin's dragon bear martial spirit was released when the giant claw tiger pounced on him. Facing the giant claw tiger's attack, he did not dodge or evade, and put his hands in front of his chest to attack. When they were about to collide, Zhao Xin suddenly turned his hands up and collided with the giant claw tiger from top to bottom. Zhao Xin growled and exerted force with his legs. At this time, the results of his long-term forging training were revealed. Zhao Xin's body fell, and he suddenly exerted force and directly pushed the giant claw tiger back.

The thousand-year-old giant claw tiger roared suddenly, and its body in the air flew backwards. As soon as the giant claw tiger landed on the ground, the Soul Chasing Sword, which was condensed with Chen Zifeng's full force, fell on the giant claw tiger's body. The Soul Chasing Sword flew up and down around the giant claw tiger's body, and blood marks appeared on its body.

When the giant claw tiger came to its senses, it had been cut dozens of times, with varying depths, but it was seriously injured. The giant claw tiger showed a frightened look, dragged its seriously injured body and turned to run, but when it turned around, it found Zhao Xin standing behind it.

Zhao Xin happened to block the giant claw tiger's escape, and without any hesitation, he used his third soul skill, gravity control, to drag it to the spot. His pair of bear claws broke the giant claw tiger's limbs, keeping the giant claw tiger alive and preventing it from turning into a soul ring.

"I beat it severely and it can't run away. You should recover your soul power first and then absorb it." Zhao Xin said to Chen Zifeng, whose face was a little pale. The attack just now was launched by Chen Zifeng after consuming all his soul power. It was impossible for him to absorb the soul ring now.

"Okay." Chen Zifeng did not force it. He really needed time to recover his soul power before he could absorb the soul ring.

Half an hour later, Chen Zifeng opened his eyes. In the past period of time, he had restored his soul power to a normal level and could advance to the Soul Master level.

Chen Zifeng stepped forward and stabbed the calm giant claw tiger to death with a sword. At this time, a look of relief appeared in the giant claw tiger's eyes. After all, the severe pain of its broken limbs tortured it for nearly half an hour.

Chen Zifeng sat down cross-legged, and the Soul-Chasing Sword in his hand emitted a suction force, which sucked the purple soul ring produced by the giant claw tiger onto the sword. When the soul ring touched the sword, the surging soul power immediately flowed along the sword to Chen Zifeng.

"Yeah." Although Chen Zifeng, who was hit by the soul power, practiced meditation at the first moment, he still suffered some minor injuries. However, after practicing soul power several times, he gradually calmed down.

Zhao Xin, who had nothing to do, watched around to prevent soul beasts from disturbing Chen Zifeng's advancement, while dissecting the giant claw tiger's corpse to see if it could produce soul bones. Obviously, Zhao Xin didn't have that kind of luck, and Zhao Xin himself knew that the probability of a mere thousand-year soul beast producing soul bones was incredibly low, but Zhao Xin didn't know what he was thinking, and reached out to collect the fifth limb of the dissected giant claw tiger.

When Zhao Xin waited for nearly an hour, Chen Zifeng finally woke up from absorbing the soul ring.

"How is the fusion of the soul ring going?" Zhao Xin asked with concern.

Chen Zifeng said excitedly: "It's almost the same as I expected."

"That's good, let's go back to the academy." Zhao Xin didn't ask what the soul skill was. He would understand after comparing it on the fighting arena in the academy.

“Okay, but it was so easy to get the spirit ring that I almost couldn’t believe it.” Chen Zifeng had spent several days to hunt for spirit rings the last two times. It was nothing like now that he was just taking a rest and a spirit beast came to him on its own.

.....

After another period of difficult walking, Zhao Xin and his companion finally came out. The sun had not yet set.

"Go straight back to the academy." Teacher Ye Xiao, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly appeared in front of them when they walked out of the forest and said lightly.

"So anxious?" Zhao Xin asked in surprise.

"Although you have requested three days off, this soul hunting operation went very smoothly and naturally does not take that long. Go back now and you can still attend classes tomorrow."

"What a good teacher." Zhao Xin exclaimed with a frown on his face, and he accidentally saw the smirk on the corner of the Night Owl teacher's mouth. He originally thought you were a cool and handsome guy, but in the end you turned out to be a sinister man.

The three of them walked side by side towards Shrek City, but the sky was getting darker and darker. After walking for a while, they arrived at the city closest to Shrek.

"Teacher, let's have a meal before we go. We'll be there soon anyway. We've been walking for so long and we're already hungry." Zhao Xin looked at Ye Xiao with a pleading look on his face. He had come out this time to find some soul beasts to practice with, but who knew it would be so smooth. Now he was forced to walk back to Shrek at night, Zhao Xin was filled with depression.

"Well, we've been walking for so long, let's go eat something."

This small city is called Bifang City. It is very small, but because it is very close to Shrek City, the transportation is well developed and the trade is frequent. Although it is night, the streets are very lively.

Zhao Xin and the other two came to a tavern and prepared to order some food. When Ye Xiao walked into the tavern, he looked at the men in black sitting in the corner.

The place where the few people were sitting was so hidden but they were still noticed by Ye Xiao. The main reason was that Ye Xiao's martial soul had a great perception of evil forces. Before becoming Shrek's teacher, Ye Xiao was a key member of the Shrek Supervisory Group because his martial soul could sense evil soul masters.

One of the men in black sitting in the corner seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly raised his head and looked around. Not finding anyone peeping at him, he lowered his head again.

It turned out that when the man in black raised his head, Night Owl had already turned around.

"Let's go, we still have things to do." A man in black stood up. The hood on his cloak revealed a weathered face with a deep scratch on his eyebrow that extended to the corner of his eye. He looked full of evil.

When the four men in black walked out of the tavern, Ye Xiao said to Zhao Xin and the others, "You two should find a place to stay first. I feel like those guys just now look like evil spirit masters. I'll follow them and take a look."

"Evil soul master? This place is very close to Shrek City. Teacher, please take me with you. I am already a soul master. Let Chen Zifeng go." Zhao Xin was a little worried about Ye Xiao.

"That's fine. I sensed that the highest level of those men in black is Soul Emperor. You can help them, but I want to warn you that the evil soul masters have many sinister means. You have to be careful. If you are defeated, run away immediately." Ye Xiao was afraid that Zhao Xin would suffer a loss because of underestimating the enemy. "Student Chen Zifeng, please find a hotel first. If they are fine, they can find you."

"Okay, Teacher, Brother Xin, you guys have to be careful. I'll go to the Yuanyan Hotel and wait for you."
