Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 110 Sunset Forest (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)

And so, another month passed.

During this time, Tang San and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School completed the transaction of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, making a fortune, and also gifted everyone a brand new set of hidden weapons—the Flying Divine Claw.

Within this month, Zhu Zhuqing and the others finally broke through to level 40. Thus, except for Xiao Wu who did not absorb the immortal herb, all the members of Shrek Academy broke through to level 40. Among them, Dai Mubai's cultivation level was the highest at level 45. Moreover, according to Dai Mubai himself, he was not far from level 46!

All of this is thanks to that soul bone and the ten-thousand-year soul ring; otherwise, even if he had absorbed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Dai Mubai would have been at most level 43!

But for Han Feng, the most important thing is that he is now thirteen years old!

A few days ago, Han Feng's cultivation level increased by two levels out of nowhere. Although it did not show up because he had not obtained the fourth spirit ring, Han Feng knew that he was actually already at level 42. He only needed to obtain the fourth spirit ring to break through to level 43!

If he successfully absorbs the ten-thousand-year soul ring, he might even be able to break through to level forty-four!

As for the bead that Gu Rong lost to him, Han Feng originally intended to return it, but both Ning Rongrong and Gu Rong were adamant that the bead already belonged to Han Feng, leaving Han Feng with no choice.

The key point is that Gu Rong gave him this bead without telling him its name or how to use it, only saying, "It's all up to you to figure it out yourself." Han Feng had no idea how to use it!

He did ask the master, but the master couldn't give a clear answer, and couldn't even identify the origin and material of the bead, which made Han Feng feel helpless.

However, this bead wasn't entirely useless. At least when Han Feng carried it, it subtly accelerated his cultivation speed. The boost was extremely limited; Tang San and the others wouldn't even notice it. It was only because Han Feng's autonomous cultivation speed was so absurdly slow that they could detect such a meager boost.

In short, it's better than nothing.

One month from today, it will be the day that the Shrek Academy team hunts for their fourth spirit ring.

Shrek Academy mobilized its entire force to hunt the best and most suitable soul beast for Han Feng and his companions!

With all three members of the Golden Iron Triangle mobilized, plus Immovable King Zhao Wuji, even excluding Han Feng and his seven Soul Masters and one Soul Venerable, they were still an extraordinary force!

Oscar and his friends gathered at the academy gate early in the morning, discussing what their fourth soul skill would be like.

What's strange is that Tang San, who is always punctual, was the last to appear this time—along with Xiao Wu.

Oscar stroked his shaved chin, looking at Xiao Wu and Tang San with a meaningful expression, and said sarcastically, "A lone man and a woman, disheveled, you two are very suspicious~"

Ma Hongjun was even more direct, a sly grin spreading across his face as he said, "Third Brother! If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. I know the answer!"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar's teasing made Xiao Wu and Tang San blush, and they stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

Even the usually fierce Xiao Wu lowered her head, her slender hands tightly gripping Tang San's sleeves.

"Fine! He's confessed without being asked!" Han Feng rolled his eyes.

At this moment, seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu looking embarrassed, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up. He jumped in front of Tang San and said proudly, "Third Brother! If you ask me, you're just too naive! Back when I was nine years old, the Dean took me there to play, so I knew the way like the back of my hand!"

"Ahem!" Tang San coughed awkwardly after Ma Hongjun's words, not daring to say a word to him!

Dai Mubai's eyes also started to wander, and he pretended to chat with Han Feng as if nothing was wrong.

Han Feng didn't understand why at first, but when he noticed Zhu Zhuqing's sharp gaze, he immediately let out a contemptuous sneer.

On the other side, the master and Zhao Wuji already knew about it and didn't think much of it, but Liu Erlong was hearing about it for the first time. Her eyes were full of questioning and astonishment as she looked at Flander with disbelief.

Flander's vision went black, and he flashed behind Ma Hongjun, slapping Ma Hongjun away and yelling, "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat!"

Even after being slapped away, Ma Hongjun was still confused and said with a wronged expression, "That's how it is..."

"Shut up! Say another word and you can go find your fourth spirit ring yourself!" Flander felt a splitting headache—look at Tang San, such an obedient child, and then look at Ma Hongjun, they're both disciples, yet the difference is so huge!?

Ma Hongjun was startled and quickly covered his mouth, carefully refusing to speak again.

Oscar glanced at Ma Hongjun with pity.

If you think about it carefully, Ma Hongjun's one sentence offended Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing, and even dragged Flander into it!

All I can say is that he didn't die unjustly.

After the morning's farce, everyone headed straight for Sunset Forest. By the time they saw Sunset Forest, it was already noon.

But no one was willing to stop; who wouldn't want to acquire a suitable spirit ring as soon as possible?

The group swaggered through the Sunset Forest, bypassing the outer perimeter and heading towards the area where the thousand-year-old soul beasts lived.

Of course, to avoid scaring away the soul beasts, everyone concealed their auras.

Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sunset Forest is far weaker. It doesn't even have any soul beasts older than 50,000 years. Dugu Bo was even able to carve out a medicinal garden in the core of the Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and no soul beast dared to go and cause trouble. This shows how mediocre the strength of the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest is.

With Flander and the others' strength, they could easily roam freely in Sunset Forest!

Unfortunately, it's currently the hibernation period for soul beasts, and many of them have gone into hiding. The group traveled all the way without even seeing a single decent thousand-year-old soul beast!

The oldest one is only three thousand years old!

As the sun began to set, Ma Hongjun slumped to the ground in dejection, wailing, "Where have all the soul beasts gone?! They're everywhere when we don't want to see them, but now that we're looking for them, they're all hiding like monkeys!"

Tang San chuckled and explained, "Recently, it's the hibernation period for soul beasts, and many have chosen to slumber. It's understandable that the number of wild soul beasts has decreased sharply..."

Flander watched the setting sun, his shrewd eyes darting around, and said, "Alright, alright! Hunting for spirit rings isn't something that can be done in a day or two. It's almost evening, let's set up a tent and rest! We can talk about everything else tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong, who had been leading the way, trembled and a blush flashed across her fair face. She quickly pretended to be nonchalant and continued walking forward.

Even Ma Hongjun, who had already lost his fighting spirit, was overjoyed: "The Dean is wise!"

Han Feng frowned, looking at the sky, which was barely dusk, and hesitated before saying, "Isn't that unnecessary...? It's still early before dark, isn't it? Besides, with Teacher Liu and the others here, there aren't many spirit beasts in Sunset Forest that can threaten us, right? Moreover, many spirit beasts like to move at night; maybe we'll encounter one or two suitable ones?"

"That's right!" Dai Mubai agreed, "Dean! There's no need to be so cautious, isn't there? When I was hunting for my fourth spirit ring, didn't I mostly hunt spirits at night?"

The most suitable spirit beasts for Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Cat are mostly agile feline spirit beasts, and these spirit beasts are mostly active at night. After Han Feng said this, Dai Mubai also wanted to hunt a fourth spirit ring for Zhu Zhuqing as soon as possible.

As soon as the two finished speaking, Liu Erlong, who was walking at the front, stopped in his tracks. Han Feng and Dai Mubai suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver!

Flander, who had been keeping a close eye on Liu Erlong, quickly wiped away a cold sweat and scolded the two of them, "Better safe than sorry! Things can change, and you can't generalize like that!"

"You two are strong and healthy, so you can be indifferent, but what about the others? Don't you know how to be considerate of your teammates?!"

Liu Erlong, who had been standing in front, had somehow joined them. With her back to the master, she looked at the two with a meaningful expression, and whispered through gritted teeth, "Yeah! Isn't Little Fatty already exhausted?!"

"Right!? Little Fatty!?" After saying that, Liu Erlong narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ma Hongjun.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Teacher Erlong is right! I'm exhausted! I'll die if I don't rest!" Under Liu Erlong's silent coercion, Ma Hongjun felt that he would definitely die if he didn't follow Liu Erlong's words, so he nodded hurriedly.

"Gulp!" Even if Dai Mubai and Han Feng were slow-witted, they should have realized by now that Liu Erlong wanted to rest. Recalling Liu Erlong's methods, they both swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "We will follow the teachers' orders!"

Liu Erlong nodded in satisfaction, letting the two go, and casually asked Flander, "Flander, where's the tent?"

"I did bring tents, but I only prepared two. It seems that we, the teachers and the children, will each have one tent!" Flander and Liu Erlong exchanged a glance, took out two tents, and pretended to be in a dilemma.

As soon as Flander finished speaking, Tang San and the others blushed instantly, with Grandmaster exclaiming, "Why isn't it one man and one woman?!"

"Oh dear! With so many men, how can we possibly fit everyone in here? Anyway, we all know each other so well, and the kids know their limits, so what's there to be afraid of!" Flander said with a nonchalant grin.

Han Feng glanced at Tang San and the others, who seemed to be getting expectant, then looked at Ning Rongrong, who was keeping her head down not far away. He rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, I brought one tent too. Three tents should be enough! Anyway, some people will need to keep watch!"

"Tsk!" This was Liu Erlong, who was already plotting how to deal with Han Feng.

"Huh!?" This was the disappointed expression on Dai Mubai's face.

"Thank goodness!" This was Ma Hongjun and Oscar's response—they knew perfectly well that if things were arranged as Flander had suggested, they would definitely be on night watch tonight!
