At the same time when Xu Tianxi rushed to the Far North, the Xingdou Forest, the continent's largest gathering place for soul beasts, welcomed uninvited guests as usual.
Beibei was possessed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit and walked in front to lead the way. His dragon-like arms were bulging with explosive muscles and he looked extremely imposing.
Huo Yuhao followed behind Bei Bei with a worried look on his face, his deep blue eyes occasionally flashing with anxiety.
"Yuhao, you don't have to worry too much. Although spiritual beasts are hard to find, there are still some."
A gentle male voice came from the side of Huo Yuhao. The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He had a very friendly smile on his face. He was a senior teacher in Shrek's external college, Wang Yan.
"Teacher Wang Yan, thank you for comforting me, and thank you for accompanying me and my senior brother to Xingdou."
Huo Yuhao thanked the teacher and said with a wry smile, "But we have been looking here for seven days and haven't found a suitable one. It is really not easy to find a spiritual spirit beast."
Of course, he came to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls. Nearly a year ago, he enrolled in Shrek and ate the hundred-year-old fairy grass. His soul power was raised to level 15, and his soul power cultivation speed was no less than that of most geniuses.
Just a few days after entering school, he was looking forward to a beautiful life of revenge in front of Poseidon Lake, and then he was attacked by a crazy senior from the inner courtyard.
Fortunately, the academy knew to give him some bribes to keep him quiet, and a soul-enhancing pill increased his soul power by nearly three levels.
In the freshman competition, he and the team of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao defeated strong opponents. Although they had no hope of winning the freshman championship, they could still try to compete for the top four. Unexpectedly, they met that crazy senior again...
Under the evil fire of the Phoenix, his and Wang Dong's bodies were burned, their soul power was evaporated, and they were unable to participate in the following games. They were eliminated in the top 16 early, and they had no chance to participate in the freshman competition.
But it was nothing. After all, Wang Dong's family soon came to Shrek and beat up the hateful dean. They dealt with the arrogant and domineering people in Shrek, and the effect was very significant, which greatly improved Wang Dong's status in the college.
Huo Yuhao still clearly remembers that when he and Wang Dong returned to the classroom again, both classmates and teachers looked at Wang Dong with respect, and even called him "Classmate Wang Dong" cautiously.
Yes, respectfully. In the past, Huo Yuhao had never thought that in Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent, which claims to treat everyone equally when entering the academy, anyone with status and background can become a superior person!
At the same time, many people began to surround him as the squad leader and ask about his well-being. Enthusiasm and concern were written on everyone's face, but Huo Yuhao only sneered in his heart.
It's all because he and Wang Dong are roommates, and she wants to please him to please Wang Dong.
Even Xiao Xiao became a little timid and didn't dare to chat with Wang Dong as she did at the beginning.
There was clearly a tragically thick barrier between them!
However, Huo Yuhao didn't care much. It was a good thing that Wang Dong had the background to punish those bastards in the academy. Otherwise, if that crazy senior attacked them for the third time, it would be a big question whether they could survive.
Oh, what a ridiculous Shrek Academy, which claims to be fair and just and protects the continent's holy land of soul masters, but actually does things like bullying the weak, picking on the weak and fearing the strong, and causing chaos to the students. This is the biggest den of filth and dirt!
In the following freshman competition, they became spectators. This was nothing. Looking at the attitudes of those people, they knew that they did not dare to expel Wang Dong, and they knew that their teammate would surely pass the test safely.
Sure enough, after the competition, even though their results were not particularly impressive, Wang Dong obtained the status of a core disciple, and Xiao Xiao also obtained it, and he himself enjoyed the treatment of a core disciple.
He knew that both he and Xiao Xiao benefited from Wang Dong's help.
I am a first-ring soul master. I don't have very good grades, and it's nothing to complain about not being able to become a core disciple. The treatment is good too.
but...
Thinking of the wild figure standing on the championship podium of the freshman competition, looking down on all the first-year students and his iconic eyes, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of hatred in his heart, and his spiritual eyes turned dim.
Dai! Hua! Bin! The second son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he was the one who kicked his mother, causing her old and new injuries to flare up simultaneously, and she passed away a year later. This was his enemy who killed his mother! The next time he saw his enemy, it was not at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but in front of the podium of Shrek Academy. Dai Huabin and his team enjoyed the glory of victory, and he... could only watch helplessly!
His nails dug into his flesh, his gums were bitten until they bled, his eyes were wide open until they were about to burst, and he could only watch!
He knew clearly and thoroughly that in the eyes of the academy, the only valuable person was Wang Dong and not him, Huo Yuhao.
If Dai Huabin and Wang Dong had a grudge against each other for murdering their mother, Shrek would certainly be happy to serve Wang Dong, even though Huo Yuhao did not think that Dai Huabin and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had the guts to murder the wife of the leader of the Haotian Sect.
But Huo Yuhao? Who is this guy? Can he be compared with the second son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the captain of the champion team of the freshman competition, the genius with the highest soul power in the first grade, and the White Tiger Soul Master Dai Huabin? Impossible.
Wang Dong discovered his abnormality, but he did not think of using Wang Dong's power to kill Dai Huabin. He wanted to become stronger through his own efforts, and one day kill this great enemy himself! And his mother, the Duchess! For the rest of the semester, on the one hand, he worked hard to cultivate his soul power, and on the other hand, under the recommendation of Zhou Yi, he visited the Soul Guidance Department and was able to follow a Soul Guidance Master to learn about Soul Guidance Devices. He put everything into it desperately, just to fight for that breath!
His training speed was not slow. He reached the bottleneck of level 20 five months ago. Of course, he was not capable of hunting souls in the Star Dou Great Forest by himself. The only person he could rely on was his senior brother Beibei.
Unexpectedly, there was a normal person like Teacher Wang Yan in Shrek Academy. He usually spoke in a gentle manner, and became very interested in it after learning that his martial soul was a spiritual eye. He insisted on coming out to help him take a look and study his martial soul.
The troublesome problem now was that spiritual soul beasts were indeed as hard to find as many people said. The three of them had been walking in the outer area for seven days and had seen many thousand-year-old soul beasts, but no spiritual soul beast suitable for him had appeared.
The maximum age of the second soul ring of most soul masters is more than 700 years. Huo Yuhao is working hard to get closer to this limit, and Bei Bei and Wang Yan also hold the same view.
Wang Yan comforted him, "Yuhao, you don't have to worry too much. You need to be patient when you come to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt souls. In the past, it was common for our academy team to come here to hunt souls and stay for ten days, half a month, or even a month."
"Powerful spiritual beasts are very rare, but as long as we keep looking, we will definitely find them."
At this moment, Bei Bei, who was exploring the way ahead, suddenly groaned, and lightning around his body dissipated and exploded, and the third soul ring, Thunderous Fury, shone brightly in an instant.
"Teacher Wang, there is a spiritual beast. I am under spiritual attack. Please protect Yuhao!"
Beibei yelled back, and then his whole body burst into thunder, and he rushed out suddenly, and the air crackled.
"Okay!"
Wang Yan answered, and a long stick with dragon patterns fell into his hand, and five soul rings, two yellow, two purple and one black, rose slowly.
"Yuhao, my martial spirit is the Coiled Dragon Stick. A five-ringed soul king's cultivation should be able to deal with various crises in this outer area, but you should get closer."
Wang Yan stood with his stick across his body, his eyes staring vigilantly in all directions.
"Yes." Huo Yuhao knew very well that his current strength was still too weak. As his spiritual eyes flashed, his warning signs increased.
Wang Yan released the aura of the Soul King, and the soul power pressure was no less than that of some ten thousand year old soul beasts. He passed several minutes without any danger.
Amidst the lightning flashes, Beibei met the two with a strange-looking dragon-shaped creature, his face a little pale: "Yuhao, this is a fear dragon I caught, a rare sub-dragon spirit beast. Teacher Wang Yan, please take a look and see if this soul beast is suitable for Yuhao."
"oh?"
Wang Yan adjusted his glasses and carefully looked at the terrifying dragon with a head diameter of more than one meter and green ghost lights in its eyes. He frowned slightly and said, "It's not very old, just over 600 years old, but it's not bad."
Beibei smiled bitterly and said, "There were only three Dread Dragons in the place I went to. One was a thousand years old, this one, and the other was even younger. I estimate that it was no more than two hundred years old."
Wang Yan nodded, and then he muttered to himself in some surprise: "Only three? I remember that the Dread Dragon is a social soul beast, there should be quite a few at a time, how come there are so few?"
"Although this species is rare among sub-dragon species, it is not possible that even their habits have changed. Is there something wrong with the book I read?"
As the voice fell, Beibei's eyes twitched slightly, and he remembered some things in the Sea God Pavilion, but immediately suppressed these thoughts.
Ancester said that everything that happened in the Sea God Pavilion must not be leaked.
He knew why there were so few, but the reason was hard to explain. To put it simply, too many souls were captured and killed by soul masters. As for where the soul masters came from who were so capable of causing so much harm to soul beasts, well, don't worry about it. This was a topic that could not be touched upon.
After thinking for a while, Wang Yan turned to look at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, although this Fear Dragon is not seven hundred years old, its quality is considered top-grade among spiritual soul beasts, and its fear talent is also very strong. Do you want to absorb it?"
Huo Yuhao thought for a while and nodded gently: "Okay, Teacher Wang Yan, I'll take it."
Spiritual soul beasts are indeed hard to find. This one is already very good. If we continue looking for it, we may not find it even after the academy vacation.
Raising the White Tiger Dagger to end the life of the Fearful Dragon, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged and drew the spirit ring onto his body.
Wang Yan excitedly took out his notebook and recorded Huo Yuhao's training progress in detail.
Beibei fed himself a pill to cultivate his spirit. It was not easy to withstand the terrifying attack of the thousand-year-old terrifying dragon.
I hope that this time, my junior brother can obtain the strongest talent of the Fear Dragon, become an excellent spiritual soul master in the future, and achieve success in the soul guidance department.
As for the Martial Soul Department... the door to the inner courtyard will no longer be opened for him, and even his graduation may be blocked. After the third year, he will probably have to be transferred to the Soul Guidance Department.
After all, Dean Yan is really petty and was seriously injured. I heard that he hasn't fully recovered yet. Old Xuan was also seriously injured. He was only seen eating chicken legs and drinking wine two months ago.
If they couldn't deal with Wang Dong, the young master of the Haotian Sect, then how could they deal with you, a poor boy? Huo Yuhao was an innocent victim and was the target of the anger.
"Hey... Dean Yan still has a narrow mind. I wonder when Sister Le Xuan will be able to enter the Sea God Pavilion. If she could speak for us in the Sea God Pavilion, the situation would be much better..."
…
Xuanming City, Xuanming Sect, Dark Hall.
Xu Fu sat upright with his eyes half asleep, in the main seat. In front of him was Xu Sanshi, who looked somewhat uncomfortable.
"Dad, you finally came out of seclusion. I missed you so much..."
Xu Sanshi chuckled and touched his scalp somewhat awkwardly, not knowing why the old man who had been in seclusion for many years without any news suddenly came out and why he was captured.
God have mercy on him. Ever since he was knocked to the ground by Xu Tianxi's soul skill that year, he has been practicing hard every day over the years. He has already bid farewell to most of the low-level interests such as eating, drinking, and gambling. His soul power is as high as level 47, making him the undisputed number one in Shrek's outer courtyard.
He could proudly say that if he hadn't been waiting for the girl he liked, he would now be a student in Shrek's inner courtyard and could easily fight against ordinary Soul Kings.
If he is pushed into a corner and really starts a fight, even an ordinary Soul Emperor can handle a few moves, but the Soul Emperor from Shrek's inner courtyard can't stand it.
"Sanshi..."
Xu Fu spoke in a low voice: "I heard that you have been doing well in Shrek these days, made a lot of friends, and have a girl you like?"
"Oh, yes, yes, that's right."
"Making friends is a good thing, but Sanshi, there are good friends and bad friends. Do you understand?"
"Everything you said is true."
"So Sanshi, you were invited to join another sect. Is this kind of friend... a good friend or a bad friend?"
The air in the dark hall froze.
