Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 96 Star Dou Great Forest

Silent all night.

The sun rises in the east.

Oscar, who usually sleeps, is still in the midst of his cultivation. Seeing this, Shi Quan couldn't help but smile slightly.

It looks like things are going well; Oscar should be able to break through level 30 soon.

As long as Oscar can break through level 30 today, the Eight Spider Lances matter is still secure.

They tiptoed out of the dormitory, called Zhu Zhuqing, and the two went to the cafeteria for breakfast.

While they were eating, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Tang San came to the cafeteria together. Ma Hongjun also arrived later, looking refreshed and energetic, as if he had properly released his pent-up desires the night before.

After everyone finished breakfast, neither Oscar nor Dai Mubai came to the cafeteria.

Not long after breakfast.

The school bell rang, and everyone gradually arrived at the playground.

Once everyone had arrived, Dai Mubai also came to the playground. Apart from his slightly pale face, there was nothing unusual about him. However, when he saw Shi Quan, a hint of fear and apprehension flashed in his evil eyes.

It's impossible for Dai Mubai to recover so much overnight just from Oscar's giant sausage. It seems that in order to treat Dai Mubai's injuries, the group also sought help from another food-type Soul Emperor from the academy, Shao Xin.

After joining the ranks, Dai Mubai stood directly on the far left of the line, the one furthest from Shi Quan.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Flander slowly made his way to the playground.

His sharp gaze swept over the crowd, and his brow furrowed slightly. "Where's Oscar? Did he sleep in again?"

Shi Quan then said, "Xiao Ao should be in a meditative state, still cultivating, it might take a while."

Just as Shi Quan finished speaking, he saw Oscar rushing over from the direction of the dormitory. However, his face did not show any panic about being late; instead, it was full of excitement.

"Oscar, are you trying to go running laps again?" Dean Flander glared at him.

Oscar quickly replied, "Dean, I didn't slack off. I broke through because I cultivated diligently, and I'm now at level 30 in soul power."

Everyone was stunned when Oscar finished speaking.

"You're level 30?" Flander's eyes lit up. "Great! You're now the third person in the school to reach level 30! And the one with a food-type martial soul to reach level 30!"

Food-type martial souls are indeed rare in Douluo Continent. Those like Oscar are extremely rare because they are very difficult to cultivate.

"Congratulations, Xiao Ao," Shi Quan said with a smile.

Oscar chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "It's all because you motivated me last night, otherwise I might not have broken through level 30 so quickly."

"It still depends on your own abilities."

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai all stepped forward to offer their congratulations. Ning Rongrong also stepped forward to offer her congratulations, and her expression towards Oscar changed slightly.

The cultivation difficulty of a food-type Soul Master is much higher than that of a treasure-type Soul Master like herself. Even so, Oscar broke through to level 30 at the age of fourteen. Such talent was something she had never heard of before.

"Shi Quan, is this what you mean by 'there are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens'?" Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar's figure, but her mind was filled with thoughts of Shi Quan.

"Alright. Today's lesson will now begin." Flander's voice pulled everyone back from congratulating Oscar.

"Today's lesson is simple. Oscar, you are the main character today. Today's lesson is that, apart from Oscar, each of you must eat at least one of the two types of sausages made by Oscar's soul power."

"Dean, what kind of class is this? I don't want to eat Uncle Sausage's sausages!" Xiao Wu said, both surprised and angry.

"This is called adaptive training..." Flander then explained.

Hearing Flander's words, Oscar was already overjoyed. Flander's actions not only aimed to gain everyone's approval, but also brought Oscar himself immense psychological satisfaction.

This kind of recognition was what he craved most. Among his peers, he had only received it from Shi Quan, which was also a major reason why he trusted Shi Quan.

"Come on, Zhuang Zhou, Zhu Qing, you've all had the big sausage, but you haven't tried the small sausage yet. How about giving it a try?"

Oscar's gaze first fell on Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing.

Because of Shi Quan, Zhu Zhuqing was no longer averse to Oscar's sausages. The two of them didn't stand on ceremony and took the freshly made sausages from Oscar's hands to taste them seriously.

"It tastes good." Shi Quan nodded in satisfaction.

"Who wants to go first?" Oscar's gaze swept over everyone.

"I'll go first."

The third person to walk out was none other than Ning Rongrong.

She stepped forward, looking at the grilled sausage with a curious glint in her eyes. She took one large sausage and one small sausage from Oscar's hand and started munching on them.

Feeling the warmth flowing through her body, Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar with a hint of amazement.

She hadn't expected Oscar's sausages to be of such high quality. Apart from the slightly lewd Soul Curse, Oscar was indeed a genius.

Immediately afterwards, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also ate it, and then Tang San pulled Xiao Wu along and ate it too.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Flander nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, that's today's lesson. Go back and prepare for a day, get plenty of rest. The next morning, gather here and then set off. Teacher Zhao Wuji will lead you to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar obtain his third spirit ring."

This isn't just Oscar's responsibility; it's a trial for all of you. Teacher Zhao won't intervene easily before encountering the thousand-year-old soul beast. Everything depends on yourselves. Alright, dismissed.

After announcing tomorrow's arrangements, everyone finally dispersed.

Spurred on by Oscar, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective dormitories to cultivate and rest, preparing for their journey to the Star Dou Great Forest the next day.

"Zhuang Zhou, what kind of spirit ring do you think I should get for my third spirit ring to suit my current sausage spirit?"

Because of their conversation last night, Oscar knew that Shi Quan had a strong understanding of martial spirit theory, so as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he couldn't help but excitedly ask Shi Quan questions.

Shi Quan smiled faintly and said, "The matter of spirit rings is mostly based on luck. In your case, I think it would be best if the third spirit ring had an amplification effect, such as speed. That way, you and Ning Rongrong would both have a speed boost. If you can't win, with two boosts, you can at least run away, right?"

"Moreover, this type of amplification soul skill can also amplify your own strength after you gain combat power, and can also make up for the gap between you and your enemies as much as possible."

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right." Oscar nodded excitedly. If you can't win, just run away. Speed ​​boosting is indeed a good option.

The problem is that I don't know if I can encounter a suitable soul beast.

With only one day to prepare, the group didn't have much to do. The next morning, after breakfast, when everyone gathered on the playground, Zhao Wuji was already there waiting for them.

When they saw Zhao Wuji with his bruised and swollen face, they were all stunned, and then they covered their mouths and laughed.

While it was funny, everyone was also a little surprised that Zhao Wuji had become like this.

Seeing this, Shi Quan couldn't help but smile slightly. Having a powerful father protecting you makes all the difference.

Unlike him, he can only rely on himself.

"What are you laughing at! You bunch of little brats!" Zhao Wuji was furious when he saw everyone chuckling to themselves. "I think you're all itching for a beating."

Xiao Wu was immediately displeased when Zhao Wuji called them "little brats," and muttered in a low voice, "Why not call them 'little blind bears'?"

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened. "Xiao Wu, what are you saying?"

Tang San instinctively took a step to the side, shielding Xiao Wu behind him.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji could only grit his teeth and snort before saying, "Alright, Zhuang Zhou, do you know about the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Know."

"If you know, then you can lead the team, and the others will cooperate with you."

Shi Quan was stunned. In the original story, it was Dai Mubai. It seems that because he beat Dai Mubai up twice, he became the team leader.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest on the continent, teeming with numerous soul beasts, all of which are extremely aggressive. It is the most dangerous soul beast forest, bar none. We haven't even reached the forest yet, so let's not make any formation arrangements for now. By the way, Teacher Zhao, how do we get there?"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand, "You can arrange your own journey, but you must arrive at the Star Dou Great Forest by tomorrow at the very least."

"That's easy." Shi Quan nodded. "Zhu Qing, Xiao Wu, you two help Rong Rong on the way. Tang San and Dai Mubai, you two help Xiao Ao to reduce their energy consumption. Rong Rong, you directly use your second soul skill on everyone to increase their speed. Xiao Ao's sausages will replenish their stamina on the way."

The assignments were complete. The group quickly set off towards the Star Dou Forest.

Along the way, they relied on Oscar's grilled sausages to stave off hunger, and with Ning Rongrong's speed boost, they successfully arrived at the small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest in the afternoon.

At this point, they were only a little over a hundred kilometers away from the Star Dou Great Forest, which was already very close.

The Soul Beast Forest at night is undoubtedly the most dangerous, and Zhao Wuji's requirement is to reach the Star Dou Great Forest by tomorrow.

So the group decided to spend the night in the town.

Arriving in a new place, everyone was naturally curious. Since it was still early, after confirming the hotel, they went out for a stroll together.

Although they were supposed to be traveling together, the two sides were clearly divided. Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun formed one team, while Shi Quan, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing formed another. Ning Rongrong moved between the two teams.

As the saying goes, "those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water." It has to be said that this small town has a complete range of goods for sale. Many things that you can't even buy in the city can be found in these small towns. Of course, the only downside is that things in the town are really expensive.

Who can blame them when the wealthiest group on the mainland is the Soul Masters...?
