The day after Xue Lei Han, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai’s battle, the eight members of Shrek Academy stood together on the training field.
Zhao Wuji had been waiting for them there early.
Seeing Xue Lei Han’s calm expression, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Wuji’s face.
He then snorted, “Alright, everyone set off.
Xue Lei Han, you lead the team.
Any problem?” Xue Lei Han nodded, then turned to the group and said, “My requirement is very simple: obey my orders.” His calm eyes swept across everyone’s faces one by one.
“Tang San, you walk at the very front.
Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu will protect Oscar and Ning Rongrong in the center from the left and right sides, respectively.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing will be behind Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
I will walk behind Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.” After speaking, he looked at Tang San.
“Tang San, the judgment up front is up to you.” Tang San nodded.
Dai Mubai wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xue Lei Han’s gaze.
My soul power is the highest, so I’ll bring up the rear.
“Oscar, prepare sausages at any time.
If your soul power isn’t enough, tell us.
We’ll rest on the spot then.” “Rongrong, if Tang San in front encounters danger, you must use your soul skill at the first moment.” Xue Lei Han looked at Ning Rongrong and spoke seriously.
Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and nodded.
After hearing these words, Oscar immediately started muttering his soul incantation in a low voice.
One sausage after another appeared in his hands.
“My sausages can be preserved for 12 hours.
If they disappear, just come find me.” Summoning so many sausages at once left Oscar’s face somewhat pale.
Xue Lei Han reached out a hand and helped him recover his soul power.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two stood up.
Xue Lei Han nodded at Tang San.
Tang San shot forward first, and the others followed one after another.
As they continued traveling, even soul powerhouses like Tang San and Dai Mubai felt a trace of fatigue.
But with Oscar’s sausages as supplies, they were astonished to discover that the consumption from this running was nothing at all.
Every hour they ate one sausage transformed from Oscar’s martial soul, and everyone’s energy remained full.
Even Ning Rongrong could barely keep up with the group’s pace.
Along the way, Xue Lei Han dealt with several ten-year soul beasts following behind them, mostly venomous snakes and low-level soul beasts, plus a one-hundred-year wind wolf.
However, none of them matched Oscar’s soul ring options.
After slaughtering the wind wolf on the spot, Xue Lei Han let the ten-year soul beasts go.
Because he knew that once you offended a wolf, the entire wolf pack would fight you to the death.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, walking in front of Xue Lei Han, clearly saw a hundred-year wind wolf leap high into the air, open its bloody maw, and pounce toward Xue Lei Han.
But while still in mid-air, Xue Lei Han’s long sword instantly left its sheath.
With a flash of cold light, he had already cut the wind wolf in half at the waist.
Then the two watched as Xue Lei Han quickly buried the corpse on the spot before swiftly catching up with the main group.
The Star Dou Great Forest is located in the southeast of the Balak Kingdom.
A very small portion borders the Balak Kingdom.
Soto City itself is also in the southeast of the Balak Kingdom, not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, only less than five hundred kilometers away.
Therefore, this was naturally the best choice for Shrek Academy students to obtain soul rings.
With the help of Oscar’s sausages, in merely one day, when night fell, the Shrek Academy group had already traveled more than four hundred kilometers.
They were already very close to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing that they couldn’t reach their destination today, Zhao Wuji gave the order to rest, as they had just arrived at a small town.
Continuing forward, supplies would be uncertain.
Entering the village, Xue Lei Han withdrew the killing intent in his heart.
Earlier at the rear of the team, he had faintly sensed some cunning soul beasts following behind them, but once they reached the center of the town, that killing intent gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji pointed to an ordinary-looking hotel ahead and said, “We’ll stay here.
Rest for one night.
We set out at dawn tomorrow.
You’ll cover the cost of lodging and meals yourselves.” Dai Mubai said grumpily, “Fatty, stop talking nonsense.
You order the dishes.
You’re the one who eats the most.” Ma Hongjun cooperated very well: “Then are you treating today?
You have the highest subsidy; you’re the rich one.” Dai Mubai smiled slightly.
“Treating is no problem.
Everyone studying together at Shrek can be considered fate.
I’m the oldest.
Today’s meal will be my welcome for the new students.” Xue Lei Han and the others entered the hotel, removed the swords from their waists, held them in their arms, and sat in a spot near the side.
They watched Ma Hongjun order dishes as smoothly as flowing water.
Although the eight people sat around one table, the atmosphere was not exactly harmonious.
Zhu Zhuqing had a cold face, Ning Rongrong kept her head lowered thinking about something, and Xue Lei Han wore his usual eternally calm expression.
Fortunately, the fatty was there cracking jokes, so the atmosphere didn’t become too stiff.
My sword is just a little short, just a little short of reaching the standard in my heart.
Xue Lei Han gritted his teeth.
He had never regretted walking this path.
He understood the difficulty of this road, which was why he cherished his own choice even more.
A trace of madness suddenly flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the Star Dou Great Forest in the night outside the window.
If nothing else works, I’ll just provoke the wolf pack myself.
Xue Lei Han’s heart trembled slightly.
Just now he had almost made a crazy decision.
He had never been a bloodthirsty person, yet he had just thought of charging into the Star Dou Great Forest in the middle of the night.
This really isn’t like me.
It would be easy for him to give up.
Xue Lei Han could absorb a soul ring at any time right now, but with his pride, he would not allow himself to do so.
Tang San felt a chill emanate from Xue Lei Han beside him just now and kept an eye out.
Seeing the trace of madness and killing intent in his eyes, he couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.
As Xue Lei Han’s gaze gradually calmed and a trace of self-mockery appeared, Tang San finally relaxed the worry in his heart.
“Xue Lei Han, are you okay?” “Mhm, thank you for your concern.” Xue Lei Han looked as if he had just fought a great battle; his forehead was even slightly sweaty.
He smiled faintly and said calmly, “It’s nothing now.” Seeing Xue Lei Han calm down, Tang San also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Dai Mubai was provoking the academy sitting at the table opposite them.
“It’s just a tiny little Canghui Academy, what are you showing off for?” Xue Lei Han had indeed never heard of Canghui Academy’s name.
It was probably a small academy inside Soto City.
Oscar, sitting beside Tang San and Xue Lei Han, chuckled softly, “There’s a good show to watch.” Tang San looked at him with some confusion.
“What good show?” Oscar said in a low voice, “This is also part of our training.
Dean Flender said that a soul master who doesn’t dare to cause trouble is not good.
As the saying goes, those who don’t dare cause trouble are mediocre talents.
Moreover, provoking people from the Soul Master academies is the safest.
At most it’s just a fight.” Xue Lei Han almost laughed.
Inside Heaven Dou Academy, fighting and causing trouble were strictly prohibited.
If you wanted to fight, you could.
Please go to the arena and fight in front of the entire school’s students.
Because this rule felt somewhat like a public execution, no one had dared to break it up until now.
At this moment, the six students from Canghui Academy all stood up at once, glaring toward Shrek Academy’s table.
They wanted to rush over but were stopped by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man helped the young man who had been hit sit back down in his chair, then said with a dark face to Dai Mubai, “Which academy are you kids from?” Dai Mubai’s evil eyes flashed with light.
“Asking for directions?
You’re not qualified.” With that, he sat back down in his seat.
The fatty’s movements were very fast, especially when eating.
He had already started.
While eating, he said, “En, the taste is passable.
It’s just that the heat is a bit off.
Let’s make do.” The teacher from Canghui Academy had a face that had turned iron-green from anger.
“What an arrogant bunch of brats.
Teach them a lesson for me.” The students from Canghui Academy had been waiting for his words.
Except for the one injured by Dai Mubai and the only female student, the other five immediately charged toward Shrek Academy’s table.
Xue Lei Han’s eyes turned cold.
He did not want any trouble to occur while he was leading the team.
He also had a habit that others didn’t know about: being protective of his own.
The five people walking over felt the air growing colder and colder, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun didn’t even look at the five people behind them and even sneered.
In the next moment, Xue Lei Han, along with his sword, instantly leaped over the table.
The Azure Rose Thorn Sword didn’t even leave its sheath.
The leading youth hadn’t even reacted before he was smacked away by Xue Lei Han using the scabbard.
He hadn’t even used soul power.
After all, he didn’t want to cause any deaths, so this time he didn’t even draw the sword.
That youth screamed miserably and fell beside the table where the Canghui Academy was eating.
Oscar raised his cup and shouted, “Satisfying!” Dai Mubai wiped his mouth with a napkin from the table, walked to Xue Lei Han’s side, and looked at the remaining four with contempt in his tiger eyes.
Fatty Ma Hongjun took two big bites, still chewing the food in his mouth.
Reluctantly, he walked out and stood beside Dai Mubai.
His two chubby hands rubbed together, producing cracking sounds.
Tang San also walked up and stood at Xue Lei Han’s side.
The youth who had been smacked away by the Azure Rose Thorn Sword clutched his chest and stood up.
Although he had soul power protecting his body earlier, that smack had nearly knocked him unconscious on the spot.
When the five Canghui students gathered together again, their rage had reached its peak.
Almost without hesitation, they released their martial souls.
They refused to believe that, as students of an advanced soul master academy, they couldn’t win against these youths in front of them.
For a moment, lights of various colors shone brightly.
The soul ring colors of the five youths were all the same: one white and one yellow, representing one ten-year soul ring and one hundred-year soul ring.
All five were naturally battle soul masters without exception, including two tool battle soul masters and three beast battle soul masters.
Long hair and trident?
Xue Lei Han thought for a moment and then shook his head in disappointment.
Even Shi Jingtian with the Asura Blade martial soul didn’t know a single bit of blade technique.
He had even fewer expectations for these members of ordinary academies.
Watching the opponents release their martial souls, the disdain in Dai Mubai’s evil eyes grew even stronger.
“So this is what the so-called disciples of an advanced soul master academy are like?
And they even have ten-year soul rings?
Brothers, release your soul rings and show them.” Xue Lei Han saw that everyone had revealed their martial souls.
For a moment, yellow and purple lights flashed behind them, dazzling the opponents so they couldn’t open their eyes.
His sword was unsheathed.
One purple and two black soul rings gradually emerged on his Azure Rose Thorn Sword.
Xue Lei Han looked at the five students whose legs were trembling and said calmly: “Who’s first?”
