Chapter 37 Soul Hunting
Zhou Yi walked away with small, quick steps, no longer displaying her usual bold and unrestrained manner, leaving the students looking at each other in bewilderment.
However, the students still dared not challenge Zhou Yi's authority, or rather, the authority of Shrek Academy.
After all, Zhou Yi was dealt with so badly by Wang Dong'er, yet she seemed completely unharmed, which shows how powerful their backing is.
Especially what that teacher named Mu Jin said that day was truly chilling upon closer examination.
The students gradually left the classroom, leaving it empty except for Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao.
"Huh? Why didn't you go?" Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao.
"You want to hunt souls, right? My soul skills might be able to help you," Huo Yuhao said.
What he didn't say was that, because of the characteristics of the Spirit Eye, he sensed Zhou Yi's undisguised malice.
His childhood experiences made Huo Yuhao extremely sensitive to blatant malice, and at that moment, a piece of his heart truly felt empty.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Huo Yuhao warily, then stood with Wang Dong'er again before asking, "Dong'er, should we let him come along?"
"Either is fine." Wang Dong'er nodded. "But it would be better to pay some money to have a teacher from Shrek Academy help us. At least if we pay them, they should do a good job. We should hunt the spirit beasts ourselves and gain more practical experience."
"Okay, whatever you say." Xiao Xiao smiled and took Wang Dong'er's arm.
……
After paying an astonishing price of hundreds of gold soul coins, Shrek Academy's Soul Hunting Office dispatched a teacher at the level of a five-ring Soul King to accompany the team.
Shrek Academy has a relatively advantageous location, with the main road leading to the Star Dou Great Forest right outside its gates.
It has to be said that the money spent was indeed worthwhile, as Shrek Academy even sent two carriages to take the group to the Star Dou Great Forest.
As the largest gathering place of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, the Star Dou Great Forest spans the borders of the two great empires, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire. The terrain inside the forest is complex and varied, with both wetlands and swamps existing.
Therefore, the number of spirit beasts living in the Star Dou Great Forest is not only extremely large, but also very diverse, with even higher-level spirit beasts being far more numerous than in other spirit beast settlements.
Therefore, apart from those Soul Masters with special needs, most other Soul Masters will come to the Star Dou Great Forest to find suitable Soul Rings.
The two carriages stopped only fifty miles outside the Starry Sky Forest.
From here on, there is a risk of encountering spirit beasts, so most carriages and mounts without combat capabilities are left here.
Two coachmen, dressed in Shrek Academy's dingy green uniforms, waited for the group after they disembarked from the carriage.
With this shit-green uniform around them, even high-level Soul Masters wouldn't dare to do anything to them easily.
The Soul King teacher sent by the Soul Hunting Office was named Cai Kun. Since this was only to hunt Xiao Xiao's second soul ring, which was usually enough to do in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest, it was a very low-risk task. Therefore, the Soul Hunting Office did not send a teacher of a higher level.
Cai Kun appeared somewhat aloof. After getting off the carriage, he followed behind without saying a word. Wang Dong'er and the other two formed their own team to hunt souls, and he was only responsible for providing support and intervening when the three encountered problems they couldn't solve.
A shimmering white spirit ring rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, releasing a mental detection ability that was shared with Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.
A completely new scene suddenly appeared in my mind.
This feeling of having an external brain is indeed quite novel.
However, this detection was not something she could control. Wang Dong'er felt like she was playing a game and had turned on AI combat, with no control over the character.
I need to study the application of mental power when I have time. Fortunately, Electrolux is an expert in this area, so I can ask him for advice.
Huo Yuhao's application of mental detection is clearly still in its initial stage. Wang Dong'er directly instructed him: "Huo Yuhao, narrow down the range of your mental detection and focus it on one point, extending it forward."
"Oh, okay." Huo Yuhao quickly replied and began to try to change the range of his mental detection.
Gradually, the three-dimensional panoramic map in Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's minds began to shrink. All the images in other directions disappeared, and only the image directly in front of them remained, and the distance appeared much longer than before.
"Alright, stop releasing your soul skills." Wang Dong'er spoke up in time, stopping Huo Yuhao from releasing his soul skills before his mental energy was exhausted.
"Although the distance in one direction has increased, my mental energy is also being consumed faster," Huo Yuhao said. "However, with more practice, I can definitely reduce the consumption."
"Well, practice more when you have time." After speaking with Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er looked at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, what kind of spirit beast are you planning to hunt for your second spirit ring?"
"For my second spirit ring, I just need to find a spirit beast with earth attribute or abilities related to control."
"Let's head south and take a look first."
The terrain in the southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest is more likely to produce soul beasts with earth-attribute abilities, so heading south is the fastest way to find suitable soul beasts.
Wang Dong'er led the way, Xiao Xiao was in the middle, Huo Yuhao was at the back, and Cai Kun trailed behind, looking ready to make a move at any moment. He seemed much more serious than Zhou Yi.
Because she had to take care of Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao, who could only run on the ground, Wang Dong'er did not fly in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, she took the opportunity to train her mental strength and try to create a skill similar to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Even if it doesn't have to be as precise and detailed as mental detection, having a prototype would be good.
"There's a wind baboon in the tree to the southwest," Huo Yuhao suddenly said.
He had recovered some of his mental strength and was currently using mental detection as a scout. In order to conserve his soul power, he did not activate mental sharing.
Wang Dong'er quickly locked onto the southwest direction and mobilized her mental energy to probe in that direction.
Two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose up, and the beautiful Goddess of Light Butterfly spirit reappeared. Cai Kun, who was originally trailing behind, immediately widened his eyes.
Compared to when it was on the Soul Arena, the Goddess of Light Butterfly now exudes a stronger aura of light, with a faint platinum-gold luster appearing on its wings.
If the previous Goddess of Light Butterfly was simply the most beautiful martial soul on the Douluo Continent, then the current Goddess of Light Butterfly possesses an added air of elegance and nobility.
With her first spirit ring lit up and her wings transformed into a guillotine, Wang Dong'er arrived near the location indicated by Huo Yuhao in the blink of an eye.
With a flash of cold light, a head with brownish-yellow hair fell to the ground, followed by the gushing blood from the headless corpse.
