Departure, Star Dou Great Forest

Chapter 23 Departure, Star Dou Great Forest

"A surprise? What surprise?"

After that battle, Zhu Zhuqing was no longer as aloof towards Oscar as before.

Oscar raised his chin and chuckled, "I've broken through to level 30."

"What?!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him with surprise. Reaching level 30 at the age of fourteen, and being a support Soul Master at that, was astonishing.

It's important to understand that food-type martial souls are among the most difficult to cultivate.

In a sense, it is much more difficult for Oscar to break through to level 30 than for a Soul Master to break through to level 30.

That's why, despite being born with full soul power, he only managed to break through to level 30 at the age of fourteen.

"Don't say congratulations yet, let's see what the teacher wants to say to us." As he spoke, he eagerly opened the envelope.

As the letter was unfolded, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar eagerly scanned each word.

"Hey Oscar, have you broken through to level 30 yet? If not, the first thing I'll do when I get back is beat you up."

Oscar's lips twitched when he saw the first sentence.

So Lan Minghua had anticipated that he would break through to level 30.

I was hoping to give him a surprise!

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth and chuckled, her gaze softening.

As my gaze continued downwards, I arrived at the most important part of the letter.

"I've spoken to Lao Zhao, and he'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your third soul ring."

I've already chosen a spirit beast for you: a cockscomb phoenix-tailed snake that's over a thousand years old.

Also, during the time I was away from Shrek Academy, I'm sure you all experienced being ostracized or even envied.

But you must understand, only the mediocre are not envied. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either.

Finally, if you're lucky, you might run into your master in the Star Dou Great Forest.

This letter contains only this much information, and its format is very irregular.

However, it fits the image of Lan Minghua in Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing's minds.

"What's the teacher doing in the Star Dou Great Forest? I don't understand!"

Oscar ignored the thought and put the matter out of his mind, grabbing Zhu Zhuqing's hand and excitedly running out of the ward.

"Let's go, Zhu Qing. Let's find the Dean and Teacher Zhao, and head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls!"

Zhu Zhuqing did not struggle and let Oscar lead her out.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji also finished reading Lan Minghua's letter.

He was happy to help Lan Minghua, who in turn saved his life.

He immediately headed to the training field, ready to discuss things with Flander.

The sun was high in the sky, and Tang San and the others were woken up early by Flander to train.

On the training field, Flander stood with a cold face, his eyes fixed on Dai Mubai and Tang San.

Yesterday's battle, in which Tang San tried to kill Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, made him very angry.

"Tang San, I can understand why you went to such lengths to kill Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, after all, your father was crippled by Lan Minghua. But are you doing this because you're afraid Lan Minghua won't know your identity?"

"And what are you doing, Dai Mubai, joining in the commotion and even instigating Tang San to use lethal force? What, are you trying to create chaos already?!"

Flander roared inwardly, wishing he could slap Tang San and Dai Mubai to death.

Although he hadn't had much contact with him, he didn't think Lan Minghua was a good-tempered person.

If something were to happen to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, Flander feared for his own life.

He already had a bad impression on Lan Minghua, and he was still thinking about how to make amends!

As a result, Tang San and Dai Mubai were so tactless. Not only did they not grovel, but they also wanted to oppose them. Weren't they just courting death?

Just as he was about to reprimand her, Oscar grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand and rushed over.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh without him even realizing it.

However, he never considered what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking when he spent the night with other women.

Upon seeing Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, a flash of killing intent crossed Tang San's eyes.

However, this slight change in his expression did not escape Flander's notice, which greatly disappointed him.

Even your father wasn't a match for Lan Minghua, so how could you, Tang San, a mere Great Soul Master, possibly be a match for him?

Flander cursed inwardly, hoping that Tang San, that idiot, wouldn't be foolish enough to attack Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

Otherwise, no one can save him.

Upon seeing Oscar and his companion, Flander immediately changed his expression, smiling and saying, "Oscar, what brings you here? Are your injuries all healed?"

"Dean, my injuries are almost healed. Also, I've broken through to level 30, and Master told me to find Teacher Zhao to take me to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my third spirit ring!"

These words shocked everyone present except for Zhu Zhuqing.

Ning Rongrong, in particular, knew all too well how difficult it was to cultivate a support-type martial soul.

Flander once angrily rebuked her, saying that Oscar might even replace the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as the number one support martial soul in the world in the future.

At first, she thought it was a pipe dream, but now she sees that Oscar does indeed have that potential.

Next was Tang San. Upon learning that Oscar had broken through to level 30 faster than him, he almost lost control of his killing intent.

Fortunately, having lived two lives, he learned to be patient and forbearing.

Flander laughed loudly, "Good, good, Oscar, you truly are a genius. On behalf of the academy, I congratulate you. Come on, let Old Zhao take you to hunt souls right away."

The latest novel is first published here!

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Even from a distance, Zhao Wuji heard Flanders call his name.

"Flander, what are you talking about me about now?"

Flander had already spotted Zhao Wuji and laughed, "Little Ao has broken through to level 30. I'd like to trouble you to lead them to the Star Dou Great Forest and help him obtain his third spirit ring."

"Them? Dean, are the others also going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Oscar frowned. Even if he were slow to realize it, he could tell from yesterday's battle that Tang San wanted to kill him and Zhu Zhuqing.

Is it really okay to go to the Star Dou Great Forest with someone like that?

"Of course. This isn't just about you acquiring a spirit ring; it's a trial for all of you. After all, you're a team!"

Flander didn't want the relationship between Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San to become too strained, as it wouldn't benefit Shrek Academy.

We can take advantage of the Soul Hunting opportunity to ease the tension between them.

He glanced at Dai Mubai and Tang San, and said in a deep voice, "You two, why don't you apologize to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing!"

Dai Mubai and Tang San felt immense pressure and apologized to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing with forced smiles.

"Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, I'm sorry, it was my fault."

"Yesterday, Xiao Wu's injury caused me to lose my temper. Please forgive me."

Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing looked indifferent; faced with this insincere apology, they simply nodded and said nothing.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji also spoke up: "Alright, let's prepare to set off for the Soul Hunt. Mu Bai, you lead the team."

Dai Mubai didn't say anything, he just stood silently at the front of the group and set off.

In the group, Xiao Wu's eyes started darting around.

Once back in the Star Dou Great Forest, she was confident she could escape immediately.

Even a titled Douluo wouldn't be able to do anything to her at that time.

If they're lucky, they might even find a way to conceal their soul beast aura and continue to stay by Tang San's side.

The Soft-Boned Rabbit clan may have special methods to conceal their presence, but she simply hasn't discovered them yet.

After all, Xiao Wu's mother was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and she had cultivated to a considerable level before Bibi Dong discovered her.

Xiao Wu decided to return to the Star Dou Great Forest to try and see if she could find a way to conceal her aura.

Meanwhile, the head of the Spirit Hall branch of the Barak Kingdom was meeting with Pope Bibi Dong.

Inside the palace, Bibi Dong sat on a chair, with two men standing on either side of the chair below.

They were Bibi Dong's right-hand men: Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

Both of them are level 95 titled Douluo.

Yue Guan stepped forward with his arms crossed, looked at the trembling branch hall master, and spoke.

"Speak, what brings you to see His Holiness the Pope? If it's nothing important, you know the consequences, don't you?"

The man swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he said, "Your Majesty Chrysanthemum Douluo, I suspect I've discovered traces of Tang Hao in the Barak Kingdom!"

"What?! Tang Hao?!"

The question of whether Xiao Wu's mother, a 10-year-old soul beast, could transform into human form remains to be investigated, as does whether the Soft Bone Rabbit had a method to conceal its aura. If there's no innovation at all, then it's better to just read the original work. Of course, if anyone has any good ideas, please feel free to share them; I'm generally a person who listens to advice.
