Fourth Generation Mycelium, Auxiliary Soul Master Rules

Chapter 32 Fourth Generation Mycelium, Auxiliary Soul Master Rules

Both Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun needed thousand-year-level spirit rings, which were easier to find in the Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, the Crimson Swan that Ma Hongjun needed only appeared there. Therefore, Zhao Wuji hardly stopped and led everyone straight into the depths of the forest.

Zhao Wuji was in the middle, with Ning Rongrong and Oscar beside him. Chi Ping led the way, his intuition allowing him to detect danger in advance. Behind Chi Ping was Tang San, who could identify the spirit beasts they encountered and make accurate judgments, helping Chi Ping formulate action plans. Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun were on either side of Zhao Wuji, while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were at the back of the group.

Two years ago, Zhao Wuji took Chi Ping and Dai Mubai three days to reach the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. This time, he brought eight people, half of whom did not have Soul Venerable cultivation or any special abilities, so their progress was even slower.

However, no one in the team was in a hurry. The danger level of the Star Dou Great Forest was self-evident, and it was better to be slower than to encounter danger.

"stop!"

Chi Ping gestured for everyone to stop.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Wuji asked, puzzled.

Chi Ping closed his eyes slightly, focusing his senses on the mycelium underground.

However, in the eyes of those in the know at Shrek Academy, Chi Ping's behavior seemed more like he was using his intuitive danger-predicting ability to sense potential dangers in his surroundings.

Having visited the Star Dou Great Forest so many times, how could Chi Ping not have planted mycelium here?

Chi Ping refers to the mycelium that developed after obtaining its first spirit ring as the first generation, representing the initial formation of its skills. The second generation mycelium gained the ability to convert light elements, while the third generation mycelium gained the ability to convert water elements. Both of these abilities significantly enhanced the vitality of the mycelium!

Furthermore, after mastering intuition and qi and blood, Ikehira gained the ability to control the direction of mycelial evolution to a certain extent. This significantly reduced the time Ikehira spent developing iterative mycelia.

Through Chi Ping's continuous modifications, the third-generation mycelium no longer needed to be produced by him. It gained the ability to divide autonomously!

Before the development of the third-generation mycelium, Chi Ping produced his own mycelium, so its distribution range was always small. It was scattered around Notting City, Shrek Academy, Soto City, between Notting City and Soto City, and some locations in the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, after the development of the third-generation mycelium, Chi Ping only needs to leave a sufficient number of mycelia, and the scale of the mycelium will continue to expand autonomously! Mycelia are distributed in most of the outer areas and parts of the middle area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Over the past two years, the total coverage area of ​​the mycelium should be about one-third the size of a province!

In addition, the fourth generation of mycelium has been developed, with a focus on combat specialization. The melee-specialized Demon King Armament is one of the two major achievements of the fourth generation of mycelium development. The other achievement is called True Monarch Dharma Form, which is a ranged specialization.

The principle behind the Six Forms of Soul Power - Paper Drawing is to attach spiritual power to mycelium, using the mycelial sheath to collect information and thus react quickly. This ability can be applied to the mycelium; within the area covered by the mycelium, Chi Ping can obtain information through the mycelium within a certain range, and then integrate the collected information to obtain specific intelligence, achieving an alternative long-range detection soul skill effect.

This capability has a considerable detection range, approximately one kilometer in diameter. However, it cannot provide real-time feedback; there is a certain time lag. Information from one kilometer away takes about 30 seconds to reach Ikehira, and it can only collect information within one meter of the ground.

"There are people ahead, very strong, and they're approaching us," Chi Ping whispered.

Compared to spirit beasts, humans act more systematically and are easier to distinguish. As for the difference in strength, intuition will tell Chi Ping.

Zhao Wuji frowned deeply.

"Halt and prepare for battle."

Zhao Wuji knew that anyone who could be described as very strong by Chi Ping must have a cultivation level at least above that of a Soul Emperor!

Encountering a powerful stranger in a lawless and uninhabited place like the Star Dou Great Forest is not a good thing, as no one knows what the other party's intentions are.

Those present had some understanding of this, and they spontaneously moved closer to Zhao Wuji, but also kept a certain distance to ensure that they would not affect his actions.

"Should we take the initiative?" Xiao Wu wasn't afraid; on the contrary, she was eager to try.

Zhao Wuji looked at Chi Ping, "Can you fight?"

Ikehira: "It's not a fatal danger."

Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Xiao Wu and said irritably, "What are you fighting for! You don't even know how strong someone is before you start fighting. Are you afraid you little brats won't die fast enough?"

"If you don't want to fight, then don't fight. Why are you yelling at me..." Xiao Wu muttered.

Zhao Wuji looked at everyone, focusing on the new four-person group. "Little monsters, remember this! You all have bright futures ahead of you. Don't ruin your lives because of a moment of pettiness! Unless there's no other way, it's best not to provoke trouble before you've figured out the strength and intentions of strangers!"

"Something's coming from the sky!" Chi Ping suddenly exclaimed.

Zhao Wuji immediately made a decision, "Fatty, Xiao Ao will take over Xiao Ping's position. Xiao Ping, go check on the situation, but don't go too far!"

"good!"

Using the surrounding trees for support, Ikehira leaped several times and reached the treetops.

Following the direction of the information transmitted by the mycelium, Chi Ping quickly discovered a crested snake.

—With a cultivation level of around 1,500 years, and a very fast speed, traveling in a straight line, the flight is unstable, indicating that it is likely being chased, and the opponent may be hunting souls.

Jumping down from the treetop, Chi Ping informed Zhao Wuji of the intelligence and his own speculations.

Zhao Wuji stroked his chin and speculated, "He's probably acquiring his third or fourth spirit ring. Being led by a powerful figure suggests he's a young genius who's about to obtain his third spirit ring. It seems there won't be any major conflicts."

"Should I do you a favor?" Chi Ping asked.

Zhao Wuji nodded, "Having more friends means having more options. Anyway, we don't need this snake. Helping them stop it is like making a friend."

"You'll take action?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head. "Xiao Bai, go and stop that crested serpent later! Xiao Ping, if it shows any signs of attacking, you cooperate with me."

"Understood!" *2

Soon, the crested serpent that Chi Ping had discovered came into everyone's view.

Martial spirit infused, blood and qi surge – White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

In the blink of an eye, Dai Mubai completed a series of operations, his body swelled three times larger, and with a powerful step, he instantly traversed dozens of meters, blocking the path of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

"Seven treasures transform into crystal!"

Ning Rongrong summoned her martial spirit, but was stopped by Oscar the next moment.

Ning Rongrong was puzzled, so Oscar explained, "Any unexpected factor, whether positive or negative, can affect a Soul Master's actions in the midst of battle, causing them to lose their balance and suffer a loss of combat power. At best, they will be defeated or injured; at worst, they will die. Boss Dai has never received your assistance before, so he doesn't know how effective it is. Your assistance is an obstacle to him, not a help. Besides, it's just a 1,500-year-old Soul Beast; Boss Dai can easily handle it."

Ning Rongrong suddenly realized, "I've learned something."

Ning Rongrong was already strikingly beautiful, and after suppressing her temper, she became even more elegant, causing Oscar's heart to pound. To cover his embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject, "Things with Boss Dai are almost settled."

Ning Rongrong turned her head away as expected.

With a loud bang, Dai Mubai's fist collided with the flying Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent in mid-air. Dai Mubai landed steadily, while the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent stumbled to the ground, dazed.

Dai Mubai gathered his qi and blood again, and with a few punches and kicks, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent completely lost consciousness.

After doing all this, Dai Mubai immediately returned to the team.

"So powerful!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in amazement.

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and Xiao Wu and Tang San also turned their attention to her.

Just as they were about to say something, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.

"stop!"

Immediately afterwards, the two elderly people and the child darted out from the direction from which the crested serpent had flown and appeared in front of everyone.
