The Sorrow of Soul Beasts, the Sorrow of the World!

At that moment, Yun Feng had already arrived beside the three girls. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"Exactly. But it is also the sorrow of Soul Beasts, the sorrow of the world!"

Xiao Wu had felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words.

But Yun Feng's next remark made a glimmer of light appear in Xiao Wu's eyes, and she hurriedly asked:

"Yun Feng, you're here? Why do you say that?"

Yun Feng smiled, then said directly:

"It's very simple. The growth rate of Soul Beasts is far too slow compared to that of Soul Masters. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast might not have lived for ten thousand years, but it has certainly lived for at least a thousand!"

"Yet once a Soul Master breaks through to Soul King, they need to hunt Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts. As one side rises and the other falls, if Soul Beasts continue to be hunted like this, then once they disappear, Soul Masters may also become dust in the river of history if they cannot find a new power to replace Soul Rings."

As Xiao Wu looked at Yun Feng, she did not know why, but a faint stirring suddenly arose in her heart.

She had never expected Yun Feng to understand the current situation so well.

Even her gaze changed slightly.

Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Yun Feng smiled and said:

"Alright, I was just voicing a casual complaint. Go on with what you were saying!"

Although the girls had been shaken by Yun Feng's words, with Ning Rongrong around, the atmosphere soon faded away.

"By that logic, the Star Dou Great Forest should count as a Soul Beast forest raised by the two great empires, shouldn't it?"

Xiao Wu's face darkened, while Zhu Zhuqing explained.

"Of course not. Those forests that raise Soul Beasts are nothing much. It's difficult to even encounter a Thousand-Year Soul Beast there."

"Only people at the level of Soul Scholars and Soul Masters would go there."

"The Star Dou Great Forest is one of the three most famous Soul Beast habitats on the Douluo Continent."

"It is nearly as large as the entire Balak Kingdom, spanning the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Two-fifths of it lies within the Heaven Dou Empire, while the other three-fifths lie within the Star Luo Empire."

"It is a vast primeval forest with complex terrain, including wetlands, marshes, and more."

"The Soul Beasts there are extremely terrifying as well. The closer one gets to the center of the forest, the stronger the Soul Beasts become. It is said that there are even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts inside."

"Any Soul Master with sufficient strength and good luck can find the Soul Ring most suitable for them there."

"My second Soul Ring was obtained in the Star Dou Great Forest."

After hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately became eager to give it a try.

"I really wish tomorrow would come sooner!"

As Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked at the carefree Ning Rongrong, their eyes were filled with envy.

After all, compared to a little princess like Ning Rongrong, who had grown up surrounded by affection, their experiences were worlds apart.

One was in the heavens, the other in the depths of the earth! Though they envied her, they were not jealous. After all, jealousy was useless.

There was not much for everyone to prepare in a single day. Early the next morning, after breakfast, when everyone gathered at the playground, Zhao Wuji was already waiting for them there.

When Yun Feng arrived at the playground, he could clearly sense Zhao Wuji's name flickering a few times on the Heaven Suppressing Stele.

But in the end, it dimmed again, and the engraving blade did not carve Zhao Wuji's name.

However, this also showed that Zhao Wuji already knew about Dai Mubai's injuries.

After looking around, Yun Feng indeed did not see Dai Mubai anywhere.

After all, Yun Feng had struck extremely heavily.

Without a top-tier healing-type Martial Soul stepping in, recovery could only come with time.

After glancing at Yun Feng, Zhao Wuji said in a deep, muffled voice:

"Dai Mubai is injured, so he won't be attending class with us this time."

"Yun Feng, your Soul Power is the highest. You lead the way!"

Yun Feng smiled faintly and did not refuse Zhao Wuji's suggestion.

He had some mischief brewing, after all.

Still, the necessary process had to be followed.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is no place for horseplay. There are countless Soul Beasts inside, and they are extremely aggressive. They hold no goodwill toward us humans, so everyone must be careful."

"Tang San, you take the front. Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the two of you follow behind Tang San. Fatty and Xiao Wu, you take the left and right flanks. Zhu Zhuqing and I will cover the rear."

"Once we enter the forest, maintain this formation and stay alert at all times. Let's move out."

Upon hearing Yun Feng's words, Tang San subconsciously pointed at his own face and asked in astonishment and disbelief.

"Me?"

"Yes, you!"

"But my Soul Power is the lowest. Isn't it inappropriate for me to walk in front?"

Yun Feng laughed when he saw Tang San's reaction.

"You've got it wrong. I chose you for the front because I've observed your abilities. Though you may not be the strongest, your observational skills are excellent. You're undoubtedly the best choice to serve as the scout!"

Tang San was startled upon hearing Yun Feng's words. He had never expected Yun Feng to be so perceptive!

That level of attentiveness was terrifying!

But since Yun Feng had already said so much, Tang San did not want to remain a transparent bystander. He immediately said, "Alright, then."

Zhao Wuji merely watched coldly from the side. He did not join their formation and instead left the academy alongside the seven students.

Naturally, there were no carriages here. As soon as they left the academy, everyone began running.

Not long after setting out, the students began to understand the importance of what Yun Feng had said yesterday!

Because Yun Feng had taken the lead in persuading them yesterday, everyone was no longer so resistant to Oscar's sausages.

As they continued on their journey, even Yun Feng, the strongest among them, was steadily expending his stamina.

It was not enough to exhaust him, but he had begun to sweat a little.

However, with Oscar's sausages as supplies, they were surprised to discover that the exertion from running was practically nothing.

As long as they ate one sausage conjured by Oscar's Martial Soul every hour, everyone could remain full of energy. Even Ning Rongrong could barely keep pace with the group.

Without putting it to practical use, one would never understand the importance of an auxiliary Martial Soul. Oscar, too, gained confidence from the remarkable effects of his sausages.

Since they had not yet entered the forest, Ma Hongjun, as Oscar's good brother, also helped him bear part of the burden so that he could recover his Soul Power more easily and continue providing support.

The Star Dou Great Forest lay southeast of the Balak Kingdom, with a small portion of it bordering the Balak Kingdom.

Suotuo City itself was also in the southeast of the Balak Kingdom, less than five hundred kilometers from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Therefore, it was naturally the best choice for Shrek Academy students to obtain Soul Rings.

Give us some votes, brothers!
