Douluo Continent Chat Group: Building My Academy

Chapter 93 Logging VS First Soul Ring

"You're awake, seniors?"

When Wu Muxin opened her eyes, Flander's faint smile appeared before her, and the numbness and pain in her body had dissipated.

Propelling himself to his feet, Wu Mu touched the spots on his body where Zhao Wuji's iron fist had struck him, but didn't feel much discomfort.

A mix of emotions welled up inside him, but Wumu wasn't someone who couldn't afford to lose countless times.

He exchanged a glance with Hu Qing beside him, who nodded with a wry smile. Wu Mu sighed and said, "Young friend, you have won. We will take our leave of this Fire Giant Fir."

"Thank you, senior."

Flander didn't stand on ceremony; they had come specifically for this soul beast.

Back with Yao Zi and the other children, Wu Mu was somewhat hesitant to look them in the eye. He desperately wanted to get good spirit rings for these students, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any.

"By the way, senior, about a few thousand meters northeast of here, there is a thousand-year-old flame flower. You can go and take a look. It's not as good as this, but it's still suitable for that little girl."

!! ?

Ebony was taken aback, but when he turned around, he saw Flander's faint smile again, and he smiled silently.

"Thank you, young friend."

"You're welcome."

The group from the Botanical Academy kept their promise and left. However, a few children were somewhat unwilling before leaving. They glanced at Flander Zhao Wuji a few times and kept Oscar Ouyang Sun in mind. They guessed that if the opportunity arose in the future, they would probably want revenge.

However, this is insignificant. Making a few enemies can actually help them grow, and besides, these can only be considered competitors.

"Alright, Xiao Ao, now it's time to decide your first spirit ring. Do you want to choose this Fire Giant Sequoia?"

Flanders pointed to the towering firewood, a hundred meters tall with a waist spanning over ten meters, which almost squeezed its kin to its slender waist, and asked Oscar.

"Hmm!" Oscar nodded firmly. He could feel the vitality of the plant-like spirit beast in front of him, as well as its fierce firepower.

Choosing this giant firewood is a wise decision.

"Very good, then now there is only one problem left: in order to absorb a spirit ring, you must first kill the corresponding spirit beast yourself."

Flander smiled and pulled an axe from his spatial soul tool, handing it to the stunned Oscar.

With another wave of his hand, a wind blade burst forth, easily slicing through the Fire Giant Sequoia, causing its viscous sap, like lava, to slowly flow down.

Flander's movements were precise, ensuring that he could make another cut without killing the giant firewood.

Finally, Zhao Wuji pulled out the piece of wood, revealing a core that resembled a red agate.

The giant firewood seemed to sense the threat and, instead of digesting and sleeping, wanted to start another forest fire to eliminate all danger.

But just as the flames were rising, Flander flicked his finger, a whirlwind swept by, and the flames vanished.

The Fire Giant Sequoia could do nothing but stand there dumbfounded as Flander repeated the Wind Blade technique.

That's the advantage of plant-type spirit beasts; no matter how much they attack, it's very difficult for them to escape.

Ultimately, the giant firewood was cut in two, front and back, and then its sides were also cut off, leaving only a small central section that could barely support the entire tree, its life force hanging by a thread.

Flander brought Oscar over and placed an invisible wind armor around him, with a constant airflow to ensure that the flames and heat did not reach him.

"Go, cut down that giant firewood and obtain your first spirit ring."

Oscar swallowed hard, looked at his thin arms and legs, then at the towering firewood that stretched as far as the eye could see, paused for a moment, and then stepped forward with his axe.

He wants to become a true Soul Master!

click!

Oscar chopped the firewood in the center of its last remaining support with his axe, sending some wood chips flying.

Sensing the approach of life, the fire giant sequoia immediately sprang into action, bursting forth with raging flames from its sap.

An invisible wind armor swirled around Oscar, blocking him from view. He stared blankly at the crimson before him, then touched his cool body, a smile spreading across his face as he swung his axe faster and faster.

Zhao Wuji looked at Oscar, who was pecking at a big tree like a chick, and remained silent for a moment.

"You old miser, are we just going to stand by and watch?"

"We've done everything we could. Now it's up to Xiao Ao's own determination. Why don't you go and encourage him?"

Flander casually remarked that giant firewoods like the Firewood were already rare, and this one was a hundred years old. Letting Little O cut down some big trees would be a good way for him to train.

Zhao Wuji shrugged and remained silent, then went to the shade of the giant cedar tree to close his eyes and rest, keeping a close eye on Oscar.

The same applies to Flanders; after all, if the Fire Giant Sequoia really falls, Oscar could easily turn into Oscar Sauce, so they have to keep an eye on him.

"Huff, huff."

Oscar's breathing grew heavier and heavier. He had only scratched the surface of the giant firewood when he felt his arms were filled with lead, aching and painful.

Ouyang Sun watched this scene, initially finding it somewhat amusing that Oscar had become a lumberjack, but now he fell silent, inwardly encouraging Oscar.

Keep it up, Xiao Ao! Think about our training before. Even if you are a support-type Soul Master and can't use any of the Six Styles yet, the sweat you shed on the training ground was real!

"Ahhhhh!"

Three hours later, Oscar was almost completely burned out, his face only a grayish-white color. At this time, the Fire Giant Sequoia was also teetering on the verge of collapse.

Unbeknownst to many, a dazzling yellow spirit ring had appeared above the Fire Giant Sequoia, for this exceptionally gifted spirit beast had ultimately perished prematurely.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ao."

Flander laughed, "This child's will is really strong. Cutting down a giant fir for three hours is a test for a child who is about to obtain his first spirit ring."

With a gentle inhale, the wind pulled Oscar closer, and Flander handed him a bottle of recovery medicine.

The wind that had been swirling around the giant firewood, supporting its upright position, was withdrawn, casting shadows as the massive tree collapsed heavily.

Boom! Smoke and dust billowed up. Rather than saying it fell, it was more accurate to say that the giant fire fir was so large that it exploded during its fall.

The smoke and dust were hurled more than ten meters high, and the sap and resin from the giant firewood oozed out, ready to ignite another intense fire as soon as they came into contact with the air.

The wind continued to blow gently, first blocking the smoke and dust, then extinguishing the fire, keeping Flander and the two children beside him spotless.

"Cough cough cough————"

"A miserly old man!"

Zhao Wuji was engulfed by cigarette ash, his entire body almost covered by an extra layer of skin, and his grief-stricken voice resounded through the sky.

"Oh, I forgot about you, Lao Zhao. Sorry, sorry."

The apology was insincere, but Flander still let the wind carry away the stains on Zhao Wuji's body.

With another beckoning motion, Flander drew the spirit ring of the Fire Giant Sequoia in mid-air with his spirit power, placing it in front of Oscar to block Zhao Wuji's words.

"The Fire Giant Sequoia is about 500 years old, which is 100 years longer than the theoretical limit for the first spirit ring. But Xiao Ao, you're a genius, and with the proper recuperation these past few months, you'll be fine."

Both Lao Zhao and I absorbed our seventh spirit rings through exceptional means. Remember, the so-called limits are for geniuses to break through.

"yes!"

Oscar nodded excitedly. It was finally coming—his first spirit ring!
