Departure! Star Dou Great Forest!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

As the morning sun shone on the city walls of Jiubao City, a neat square formation had been waiting for a long time in the Jiubao Glazed Tile Sect Square.

The younger disciples were in front, the youths were in the middle, and a few adults were at the end of the line.

To be able to assemble such an impressive team of Soul Masters so easily, within a radius of 500 miles, perhaps only the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School could possess such strength.

Today is the day that Master Xuan puts into practice the bold statement he made a month ago, and the hundreds of Shrek Academy teachers who were recruited are as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

This is the first time they've organized a Soul Ring Hunting Operation for another sect on such a grand scale.

When this ever-growing contingent of Soul Masters set off, the sun was already high in the sky, and countless citizens of Nine Treasures City stood along the streets to witness this spectacle.

Food, tents, fire tinder, maps... a whole range of equipment for camping in the wild had already been prepared. Considering the large number of people involved in this Soul Hunting Operation, it was roughly estimated that this group of Soul Masters would probably have to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for a month.

If we factor in the travel time to and from the destination, it would take a total of two months.

"Wuhu, it's truly magnificent!"

Wu Feng excitedly grabbed Ning Tian's hand, and the two little girls stood on the city wall, gazing at the various Soul Masters filing out of the inner city in a continuous stream, and exclaimed in amazement.

Beside them, Ning Fan leaned lazily against the city wall, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

Standing beside the two young girls, Old Master Xuan was still disheveled, gnawing on roast chicken, but his eyes shone brightly.

"Hmph! This time, I personally led the team. How could the spectacle put on by Shrek Academy be inferior to that Poisonous Old Monster's?"

After saying that, he waved his greasy hand, signaling the children to come forward.

"Little ones, to save time, the three of you will not travel with the main group. I will personally lead you to hunt soul beasts."

"With your cultivation levels, your destination this time is the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. As for my cultivation level... well, in the outer area, you can just treat it as a sightseeing trip. Have you brought tents, food, and toys?"

"Uh-huh!"

Ning Tian and Wu Feng nodded in agreement, raising the storage soul guide bracelets on their hands with eager expressions.

Compared to them, Ning Fan was somewhat cautious.

make a sightseeing tour?

Go to hell with you! You old geezer, you're awful!

Even with a powerful mentor accompanying you, there is absolutely no one who can guarantee that hunting spirit beasts is absolutely safe.

After all, the truly dormant beings in the Star Dou Great Forest are those that even Xuan Zi cannot fool, a fact the young man knew all too well.

Considering someone's habit of making mistakes while drinking, the safety of the three-person team in this operation is likely entirely in their hands.

Touching the level-two soul-guided flying device close to his body, Ning Fan then slung the large fan on his back. These two items would at least give the three little ones a chance to escape if they faced a thousand-year-old soul beast alone.

"Hehe, shall we go then? It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles."

After swallowing all the chicken bones, Elder Xuan first adjusted his large stomach, which looked quite comical.

Before everyone could even burst out laughing, Ning Fan suddenly felt his feet become light as a feather.

When he looked down again, he could see the entire Nine Treasures City, and the city's appearance was constantly shrinking.

The cold wind from high above swept over them, but under the protection of Elder Xuan's soul power, the three little ones felt no discomfort at all. They looked at the things rushing past them with amazement.

Trees, houses, and even cities are all rushing past at an incredible speed.

A strong wind rushed towards them, and Elder Xuan deliberately slowed down so that the three children could keep pace with the flying birds.

Flying! This is what it feels like to fly!

Ever since humans learned to look up, their yearning for the sky has been intense.

Apart from Soul Masters whose Martial Souls have the inherent attribute of flight, ordinary Soul Masters can only gain the ability to float briefly when they reach the seventh ring or above, and can fly freely when they reach the eighth ring.

Although the emergence of flight-type soul tools has changed this demanding condition, such things are still luxury items that not everyone can afford.

At this moment, facing the clouds so close at hand and the vast land beneath their feet, Wu Feng and Ning Tian shouted joyfully.

Even Ning Fan felt an urge to roar to the sky at the thrill of flying at high speed.

How fast was Elder Xuan? Before the little ones could even finish enjoying the thrill of flying, the surrounding air had already become fresh, and the vegetation in their sight gradually thickened, revealing a lush, dense forest.

Looking down from above, the vast forest stretches as far as the eye can see, with the endless greenery seemingly extending to the horizon, following the undulating mountains.

Starry Sky Forest, Outer Zone.

Although it is late autumn, the Star Dou Great Forest is located in the central part of the continent, and its layered mountains and surrounding rivers make it an evergreen area.

"Hey, little guys, get ready to land!"

Having flown across most of the Star Luo Empire with his three children, Elder Xuan showed no signs of fatigue.

After speaking, the group transformed into a streak of light and steadily disappeared into the dense jungle.

Ancient, silent, shady...

When Ning Fan stepped onto the grass still covered with morning dew, he entered this super forest that had been lying in the center of the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years.

"This is the Star Dou Great Forest!"

The three children stared in shock at everything around them.

Although I learned a great deal about this place in the sect's classroom, no written description could compare to the visual impact of seeing it with my own eyes.

Even in the outer areas where ten- or hundred-year-old soul beasts roam, some places are so lush and tall that sunlight can't even penetrate them. Surrounded by this verdant world, the sounds of insects fill the air, and occasionally, strange bird calls can be heard—perhaps, these are the sounds of soul beasts!

"The Star Dou Great Forest can be roughly divided into the outer area, the mixed area, and the core area. Hehe, they say that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Little guys, come with me to explore the outer area first. Hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings is not something you can do just like that."

As he spoke, Elder Xuan pulled out a steaming hot chicken leg from the oil paper in his pocket and began to gnaw on it with great relish, personally leading the way ahead.

Wu Feng excitedly grasped Ning Tian's small hand as they strolled through the fresh forest, her eyes sparkling as she surveyed her surroundings.

With the efforts of the previous month, plus the help of some pills, especially the whale glue she obtained from Ning Fan, her body can withstand the first spirit ring for about six hundred years.

With his Red Dragon Martial Soul, Wu Feng would become a true offensive-type Soul Master once he acquired a Soul Ring, possessing the ability to stand alone.

Her own elder grandfather had already discussed it with Sect Master Ning, and that she would be allowed to serve as Ning Tian's protector, follow her in cultivation, and form a fixed Soul Master team with her.

They even went to Shrek Academy together after they turned twelve!

Therefore, Wu Feng was really looking forward to this trip to the stars!

This was Ning Tian's first time traveling far from home. At first, she was a little afraid of the unfamiliar environment, but gradually, under the influence of the witch's spirit, she adapted to everything around her.

Even if some unknown soul beasts appeared, under Elder Xuan's pressure, they would obediently become docile pets, played with by the two girls like kittens before being released back into the forest.

It's fair to say that the two girls really treated this Soul Hunting Operation as a spring outing.

In contrast, Ning Fan was much more composed.

Although the boy was curious, he did not show his emotions.

Having just stepped into the outer area, most of the creatures that appear are ten-year-old soul beasts. Even if Elder Xuan makes a foolish mistake, Ning Fan is confident that he can take down the invading enemy beasts on his own.

He also roughly estimated that Ning Tian's first spirit ring limit was about seven hundred years, while his own was an exaggerated one thousand and thirty-two. The best choice in terms of attributes was a spirit beast specializing in defense.

Wufeng, on the other hand, needs fire-attribute offensive soul beasts.

Finding a suitable age and attribute is difficult, even in the Star Dou Great Forest, which has the richest number of soul beasts.

It seems they'll be staying in the Star Dou Great Forest for a while.
