Two and a half years later…
At the border between the outer region and the mixed region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A violent roaring sound arrived, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to be shaking and trembling.
In mid-air, earthy yellow and dark red streams of light collided repeatedly.
The mooing of a bull and the roar of another Soul Beast sounded simultaneously, while large cracks in space spread outward from the center of their collision.
After the final intense collision, the two streams of light separated, each occupying half the sky as they confronted each other.
The halo gradually dissipated, revealing their true forms.
The earthy yellow one was a massive bull, and the dark red one was a dog with three heads.
Needless to ask, these two were none other than the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult stationed at the Shrek Academy office, the Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi, and the Ferocious beast with the lowest combat power in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff, Chi Wang.
Logically speaking, the cultivation of Chi Wang, who ranked eighth among the ten great Ferocious beasts, was inferior to the 98th-Rank Super Douluo Xuan Zi.
However, judging from the collision just now, Chi Wang was not much weaker than Xuan Zi.
The Taotie Divine Bull formed by Xuan Zi looked at Chi Wang with complete disbelief: “This is impossible!
You…
you actually cultivated Ultimate Fire!
That shouldn’t be…
and your cultivation shouldn’t be on par with this old man!”
Chi Wang’s terrifying canine teeth released a crimson-gold luster, and its three large heads roared simultaneously.
It had no obligation to answer Xuan Zi’s question, instead immediately pinning a major accusation on him: “Taotie, does your Shrek Academy want to start a war with my Star Dou?!”
Hearing this, Xuan Zi immediately became angry and roared with a mix of grief and indignation: “The Soul Beasts of your Star Dou Great Forest killed the Disciples of my Shrek Academy for no reason.
Shouldn’t you give us an explanation for this matter?”
Chi Wang sneered, and blazing flames spewed from its canine teeth: “For no reason?
How ridiculous!
What is there to say between us Soul Beasts and you humans?
Can only you Soul Masters kill our Soul Beasts, and we cannot kill you?”
Just at this moment, a pillar of light mixed with gold and red rose abruptly from the ground, charging straight at the Taotie Divine Bull formed by Xuan Zi.
Xuan Zi was greatly alarmed and hurriedly activated a Soul skills.
The earthy yellow light turned into a barrier to block in front of him.
The moment it made contact with the golden-red pillar of light, a shockwave containing [Light] and [Scorching Heat] instantly swept through the surroundings.
Even Xuan Zi, whose cultivation had already reached Rank 98, did not fully defend against this move.
He transformed back into his human form, fell from mid-air, and crashed into the ground.
One could see that the beard and messy white hair on Xuan Zi’s old face were scorched black.
A somewhat abnormal flush rose on his blackened face, and following a spray of blood, he wore a look of shock.
You have to know, as a Martial Soul of the earth-attribute Taotie Divine Bull, defense was his strong suit.
Even if there had been some consumption in the previous battle, it shouldn’t have been broken so easily!
This could only prove one thing: the opponent’s strength was far above his own.
Coupled with Chi Wang, who was not inferior to himself, leaving today would probably be difficult.
At this moment, a cold and melodious female voice rang in Xuan Zi’s ears: “Human, take your people and get out of the Star Dou Great Forest now.”
Xuan Zi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Although he was indignant in his heart, he was, after all, an old man over 200 years old.
Naturally, he knew the principle that a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, and that one should know when to admit defeat.
Besides, Le Xuan’s side could not wait any longer…
“…This old man will remember this grudge!
Next time, I will definitely come to the Star Dou Great Forest to seek advice from Your Excellency again!” After leaving a harsh threat, he did not dare to delay and rushed toward the girl in the white dress lying on the ground not far away.
He could not care about the taboo of men and women having physical contact.
His dirty, large hand rested on the girl’s wrist, continuously inputting his own Soul Power into her body.
Her nearly exhausted body was replenished.
The girl struggled to open her eyes.
Upon seeing it was Xuan Zi, she was dazed for a moment, then filled with unspeakable sadness and anger, and tears instantly welled up.
“Le Xuan, Le Xuan, are you alright?”
“…”
The girl turned her head away and closed her eyes, seemingly not wanting to look at Xuan Zi.
“…” Xuan Zi pursed his lips in shame: “We cannot stay here long.
Let’s leave quickly!” Then he picked up Zhang Lexuan, transformed into a stream of light, and flew toward Shrek City at the fastest speed.
Congratulations to Grand Elder Xuan Zi for severely damaging Shrek Academy again.
The 12-member team of Prodigies from Shrek Academy had only one survivor, which could be said to be another resetting of his own record.
Chi Wang respectfully lowered its head toward the golden Soul Beast that had appeared beside it at some unknown time: “Auspicious Beast, are we just letting him go like this?”
The Auspicious Beast glanced indifferently at the departed Xuan Zi and Zhang Lexuan, then turned and left: “If we killed this old geezer too, that would truly be tearing off the mask with Shrek Academy.
We still need to continue accumulating strength.
Don’t forget that the Lord’s current situation is not stable either; giving them a lesson is enough.”
Four years ago, for some unknown reason, all the Soul Beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest rioted once.
Then, the clouds above the Star Dou Great Forest actually turned nine-colored gold, raining down golden sweet dew that scattered evenly into every corner of the forest.
The momentum was so great that almost half the people on the continent saw it.
But on that day, all the Soul Masters who entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings perished in the mouths of Soul Beasts without exception.
With so many people dead, the Soul Master World naturally needed to figure out what had happened.
Immediately after, led by the “friendly” neighbor of the Star Dou Great Forest, Shrek Academy, a special task force was jointly formed with the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire to enter the Star Dou Great Forest for investigation.
The members of the task force who had just entered the edge region were surprised to discover that within the range of their vision, almost no Soul Beast had a cultivation lower than a thousand years!
Even the most numerous and annoying Wind Baboons were like this.
If the most ordinary edge region was like this, what about the mixed region, which was more suitable for high-level Soul Masters to hunt for Martial Souls?
A considerable portion of the task force consisted of high-level Soul Masters, among whom were many powerhouses at the Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo levels.
After discussing, the group decided to head to the mixed region to investigate the truth.
Once they entered the mixed region, the Soul Masters were fiercely attacked by the Soul Beasts.
Even more terrifying was that the Soul Beasts in the mixed region were almost all not below fifty thousand years, and there were even several hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts participating in the siege!
After some desperate fighting, the task force finally rushed out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although there were losses, the Soul Master World received this huge piece of good news.
For some unknown reason, the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had collectively increased their cultivation!
High-level Soul Beasts were countless!
Then, a portion of the Inner Court Disciples of Shrek Academy, led by Xuan Zi, excitedly headed to the mixed region to hunt Martial Souls.
After the Shrek group arrived at the mixed region of the Star Dou Great Forest, they immediately began hunting for Martial Souls.
Several Inner Court Disciples who were quasi-Soul Saints soon completed their seventh Soul Rings, and none were lower than forty thousand years.
This made the team leader, teacher Xuan Zi, overjoyed.
Then, feeling that “the advantage is with me,” Xuan Zi displayed his traditional skill: he abandoned this group of students, found a place for himself to roast meat and drink wine, and even had a nice sleep…
So…
Zhang Lexuan, who was already at the Soul Douluo cultivation level, happily obtained a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!
Although it was at the cost of the lives of 8 Inner Court Disciples.
Just when they could not find Xuan Zi, Chi Wang, who had been sent to patrol the mixed region, discovered that it was again, and again, and again Shrek Academy people coming to kill their subjects.
In a rage, Chi Wang launched an attack on the remaining Disciples.
When the earth-shattering noise woke the old man up, he discovered that of the 12-member Shrek Inner Court Martial Soul-hunting team, only Zhang Lexuan had survived…
