Xue Qinghe looked at the spot where Lin Yan had left, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

If the spirit ring hadn't been absorbed and wouldn't have disappeared, she probably would have killed Lin Yan to obtain the 100,000-year spirit ring.

Unfortunately, Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, never had that opportunity.

They killed Lin Yan for the soul bone of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

She felt it was too wasteful and that it would be better to subdue Lin Yan and use him for her own purposes in the future.

Little did she know, Lin Yan had already seen through her thoughts.

All of this was deliberately arranged by Lin Yan.

As for that freedom, it was just something he deliberately said to Xue Qinghe.

"Let's send the message back to the Spirit Hall first."

"There's nothing wrong with Lin Yan, but we should still report it to him."

After thinking for a while, Xue Qinghe stood up and went to the study at the back to start writing a letter.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.

Liu Erlong and Flander had already come out of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, but their expressions were rather grim.

From the moment they were brought into the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the two were subjected to repeated questioning.

When the events at Shrek Academy were confirmed and all the information about the Shrek Seven Devils was revealed, everyone present felt a sense of unease.

After all, this was tantamount to bringing a disaster upon Shrek Academy.

If the Heaven Dou Empire investigates, and finds out they allowed a soul beast to enroll in the academy, Shrek Academy will likely be in grave danger.

Fortunately, Xue Qinghe did not pursue the matter, thus sparing Shrek Academy from a disaster.

"How is it going? Has the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family said anything?"

"Where is Lin Yan? Didn't he come back with you?"

Yu Xiaogang looked anxious as he saw Flander and Liu Erlong return.

As for the five people behind Yu Xiaogang—Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing—their expressions were also somewhat strange.

"No, since Lin Yan has been summoned to the palace, it's impossible for him to come back with us."

"Moreover, Lin Yan has already been taken in by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."

"They're not coming back with us anymore."

Liu Erlong shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face.

Normally, the Shrek Seven Devils would be participating in the Soul Master Competition soon.

These seven people are the foundation of Shrek Academy.

But now Xiao Wu is dead, and Tang San is nowhere to be found.

With the core of the Shrek Seven Devils gone, their hopes of achieving good results in the Soul Master Competition are now very slim.

"Damn it, we just let him go like that."

"Then Xiao Wu's revenge will never be achieved!"

Dai Mubai also suddenly swung his fist, saying with a face full of resentment.

Ning Rongrong frowned upon hearing this news.

After all, Lin Yan had rejected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so why did he suddenly decide to join the Heaven Dou Empire?

Although the Heaven Dou Empire is more powerful than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as an empire, it still has many things to consider.

It's definitely not as good as being in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Shut up, Lin Yan did nothing wrong."

"The decision made by the Heavenly Dou Empire in this matter has already proven it."

"No matter how good Xiao Wu's relationship is with you, she will always be a soul beast."

"Now that Tang San and Xiao Wu are gone, and Lin Yan is gone too, we should think about what to do about the Soul Master Competition."

Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, Liu Erlong immediately reprimanded him.

In these extraordinary times, if Dai Mubai's words were to get out, it could very well be interpreted as Shrek Academy being involved with soul beasts.

At that time, even if the Heavenly Dou Empire wanted to cause them trouble, it would be a very easy thing.

“That’s right, Erlong is absolutely right.”

"We really should think about what to do about the Soul Master Competition."

"Xiao Wu's position can be replaced by someone else."

"But without Tang San as the core of the team, the team's strength will be weakened considerably."

Flanders nodded at this point, his face filled with worry.

He even felt that if Lin Yan were still alive, he could let Lin Yan take Tang San's place.

But when Flander thought about the relationship between the other six people and Lin Yan, he felt that it might not work.

"I've already made up my mind about this."

"Erlong, Flander, come with me."

Yu Xiaogang nodded; he was well aware of the current situation at Shrek Academy.

There are some things that are not appropriate to say in front of these students.

They immediately took the two away.

The remaining five members of the Shrek Seven Devils each had their own worries.

Some people were worried about Tang San, while others felt it was unfair to Xiao Wu.

But hearing what these everyday companions were saying...

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but start to think that Lin Yan might not be wrong.

After all, without Dai Mubai's provocation, Tang San's challenge, and Yu Xiaogang and the other two's failure to stop it, things would have been different.

Therefore, Lin Yan probably wouldn't directly attack Xiao Wu.

Moreover, Lin Yan did not kill a human, but a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

They had even less reason to seek revenge on Lin Yan. As for Tang San, he wasn't killed by Lin Yan; instead, he was rescued.

This made Ning Rongrong feel a little uneasy, even though she also considered Tang San as her partner.

However, Dai Mubai and the others' words made her feel somewhat uneasy.

. . . . . .

Two weeks later, after Lin Yan had made arrangements for his family,

They had already left the Star Dou Empire and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

His goal was simple: to absorb other 100,000-year soul rings.

It would be impossible for anyone else to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring continuously like this, or even a 10,000-year soul ring.

But Lin Yan is different. His physical strength, including his own spiritual power, is enough to allow him to perfectly absorb the power of a 100,000-year soul ring to enhance himself.

Moreover, to everyone's surprise, Lin Yan also possessed the ability to bind spirits and command generals.

Back when he killed Xiao Wu, Lin Yan had already used the Soul Binding Technique to capture Xiao Wu's soul.

Furthermore, Lin Yan had already refined it a few days ago.

Their current strength is somewhat greater than it was a few days ago.

After all, it is the soul of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, which is basically the same as the soul of a demon emperor.

Lin Yan came to the Star Dou Great Forest for the sake of the 100,000-year-old soul beasts within.

"This is the Star Dou Great Forest."

"I wonder how many hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts are inside."

Lin Yan looked at the dense forest in front of him, its end nowhere in sight, and a smile appeared on his face.

This place is practically like a demon-locking tower.

Compared to the Demon-Sealing Tower, it made Lin Yan feel even more comfortable.

If he could wipe out all the soul beasts inside, the quality of soul masters across the entire Douluo Continent would likely plummet by several levels.

However, ordinary soul beasts, or even those less than ten thousand years old, were basically useless to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's target is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Da Ming and Er Ming were his primary targets, but they were located outside the Lake of Life at its very center.

There is a very dangerous place in the Star Dou Great Forest, which is the abode of the so-called Ten Ferocious Beasts.

Even in other parts of the Star Dou Great Forest, you are very likely to encounter those so-called Ten Ferocious Beasts.
