Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 5 Departure (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Wow~"

Su Wen submerged his entire body in the pool, leaving only his head above water, enjoying the tranquility.

It was late at night, and before Elder Xuan returned, the group decided not to venture too far into the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, so they stayed there for another night.

Zhang Lexuan kept watch with a tall, leggy senior.

Su Wen was pulled into the same wooden house by Ma Xiaotao, but was kicked out after only a few minutes – Su Wen was covered in bruises.

Nonsense! For half a month, we were barely clothed and starving in the Starry Sky Forest, not much different from savages. We were constantly struggling for food, so there was no time to take a bath...

The hurricane transformed into a white sphere, stored in the Sea of ​​Spirit, and floated quietly. Although the hurricane was more like an detached martial spirit, it would not consume soul power even when it was outside, but it seemed to prefer staying inside the Poké Ball.

Each Poké Ball has its own space. Although the area is much smaller than the Starry Sky Forest, it is quiet, safe, and undisturbed.

Even on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Wind Baboon is still at the bottom of the food chain; otherwise, it wouldn't gather in groups to keep warm. Now that it has finally found such a comfortable place, the Wind Baboon is somewhat reluctant to leave the Poké Ball.

The summer evening breeze was quite refreshing, blowing across Su Wen's upper body, which was exposed above the water.

Enjoying the rare tranquility, he took out a small bottle of pills.

"The Marrow Cleansing Pill has the same medicinal properties as the Xuan Yu Pill used by Huo Gua in the original novel, only the name is more straightforward, and since it can be obtained from the senior sister, its medicinal effects should not be much different."

Su Wen nodded slightly. The most striking thing about this stuff to him was that after swallowing it, his skin would expel dark black "impurities," which he could conveniently deal with while taking a shower.

"Goo~"

He swallowed it without saying a word.

A warm sensation surged from his abdomen, activating all the meridians in his body. Su Wen quickly sat cross-legged in the pool and began to cultivate according to the meditation method he had learned from Zhang Lexuan during the day, trying his best not to waste the scorching power that was running rampant in his body.

"Om..."

Ripples spread across the water's surface, centered on Su Wen.

A burst of insect chirping was startled.

I do not know how long it has been.

Su Wen slowly opened his eyes.

A stunningly beautiful face suddenly appeared before her, its bright eyes curiously scrutinizing her.

"hiss……"

Su Wen was startled and fell backward. He lost his footing in the water and his head plunged into the water. He struggled and swallowed several mouthfuls of water before the beautiful figure on the other side scooped him up and pulled him into her arms.

"Sister Xiaotao, can you please stop being so dramatic?" Su Wen spat out a mouthful of water and said helplessly.

"Hey, I was worried you were in danger, so I've been keeping watch here for three or four boring hours, and you're complaining about me?" The girl opposite him poked his head in annoyance. "Do you think I'm crazy for staying up all night?"

"..."

Su Wen wanted to nod, but the menacing gaze from the other side, with its narrow, crimson eyes gleaming with a dangerous light, forced him to comply.

"Alright, dry it and go back to sleep."

Ma Xiaotao leaped up, her toes lightly touching the ground. Only then did Su Wen realize that this pretty girl was also there to take a bath…

The blinding white light nearly dazzled Su Wen.

"Gululu~"

Losing control of his body, he leaned back and fell into the water, choking on several mouthfuls of water.

A burst of silvery laughter suddenly rang out from the poolside.

Covering his buttocks and private parts, Su Wen slunk ashore. Just as he was about to put on his clothes, Ma Xiaotao stopped him. "What are you shy about? Little brat, are you afraid of being seen naked by your big sister?"

As he spoke, flames rose from his palm.

A warm feeling dispelled the chill of the night and dried Su Wen's wet body.

"call……"

Feeling the warmth of the clothes on his body, the shyness caused by running around naked gradually faded away. However... Su Wen looked at the clothes with surprise, and then took a sniff. There was a smell of clothes that had been dried, mixed with a faint fragrance, indicating that they had been washed.

Su Wen glanced at Ma Xiaotao with a surprised expression.

It's her?! How could she be so meticulous?

"What kind of look is that?" Ma Xiaotao poked Su Wen's head with her finger, quite annoyed.

"It's nothing, Sister Tao, let's go back to the cabin, I'm so sleepy..."

Su Wen rubbed his eyes.

Although refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill increased his soul power by one level, drowsiness kept creeping into his heart. Logically speaking, meditation should not make him feel sleepy. Perhaps it was because he had just awakened his martial soul.

Inside the wooden house.

Seeing Su Wen fast asleep, Ma Xiaotao was no longer sleepy. She put her long, beautiful legs together and gazed at Su Wen with gentle eyes.

"Go to sleep. From now on, you're one of Shrek's people..."

……

Su Wen snuggled against the soft pillow in front of her chest, only to realize in a daze that she seemed to have transmigrated. She opened her eyes in a daze, only to find a white blur in front of her. The so-called pillow she was hugging actually looked like a long leg...

"woke up?"

Looking up in the direction of the sound, Ma Xiaotao stood with her arms crossed, a playful expression on her face.

"Ah ha ha……"

Su Wen scratched his head awkwardly.

Release that beautiful leg, and a lingering fragrance still wafts to your nose.

No wonder he has the best physique in Shrek.

"Alright, here's your school uniform. Senior Sister Le Xuan brought it over this morning... She's the same senior sister, the number one genius in the inner academy. She's already reached the peak of Soul Saint at the age of twenty, and her future is limitless." Ma Xiaotao handed over a brand new red and white school uniform.

Su Wen tried it on, and it fit perfectly.

It doesn't appear long or cumbersome; it looks quite energetic and is clearly custom-made according to the wearer's measurements.

Is this how "one of us" are treated?
Su Wen grinned.

……

The camp was filled with laughter and merriment, exuding a youthful energy.

Seeing Su Wen dressed in his clothes and with an increasingly friendly look in his eyes, Zhang Yi, who had taken out the Awakening Stone yesterday, was talking with Zhang Lexuan. When Su Wen walked out of the wooden house, Zhang Yi came over and patted him on the shoulder in a very casual manner: "Little Wen, we're brothers from now on. If anyone in the inner courtyard dares to bully you, just mention my name."

"Alright, Senior Brother Zhang Yi." Su Wen smiled and nodded slightly.

Shrek is quite united.

Especially the inner courtyard.

"Clap clap~"

Xuanzi appeared out of nowhere and clapped his hands.

He drew everyone's attention to one side, still maintaining his leisurely demeanor. "Alright, Su Wen has obtained his first spirit ring. In that case, let's speed up our journey and try to enter the core of the Star Dou Great Forest before sunset. Le Xuan will be in charge of the team, and Su Wen... well, he can come with me."

"Yes." Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly.

Su Wen also breathed a sigh of relief.

It just so happens that he also plans to follow Xuanzi and act as an "alarm clock," so there's no need to mention him further.

Ma Xiaotao pouted, looking somewhat reluctant.

Xuanzi was speechless: "He's still young. Unlike this group of Soul Kings and Soul Emperors who are so resilient, what if you encounter a group of ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts? How will you be able to protect him? With just a Soul Venerable like you?"

Just as Su Wen was amazed at how reliable Elder Xuan was.

"Ahem, besides, Elder Mu personally instructed us to do whatever we want after we return to the academy."

Xuanzi clicked his tongue again.

Oh……

Su Wen suddenly realized, that's right.
