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

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

"Exactly, but it's 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 faint light shine in her eyes, and she hurriedly asked,

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

Yun Feng smiled and answered directly,

"It's very simple. Soul beasts grow far too slowly compared to soul masters. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast may not necessarily have lived for ten thousand years, but it has definitely lived for thousands!"

"Yet once soul masters break through to Soul King, they must hunt Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts. As one rises and the other declines, if soul beasts continue to be hunted like this, then once they vanish in the future, if soul masters cannot find a new power to replace soul rings, they may also become dust in the annals of history."

As Xiao Wu looked at Yun Feng, a faint stirring suddenly arose in her heart for some reason.

She had not expected Yun Feng to understand the current situation so well.

There was even a subtle change in her gaze.

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

"All right, that was just a random complaint. Go on with what you were saying!"

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

"If that's the case, then the Star Dou Great Forest should count as a soul beast forest raised by the two great empires."

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

"Of course not. Those forests that raise soul beasts are nothing special. It's hard to even encounter a thousand-year soul beast there."

"Only Soul Scholars and soul masters of that level would go there."

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

"It is enormous, nearly equal in area to the Balak Kingdom. It stretches across 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 also extremely terrifying. 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 within."

"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 want tomorrow to come sooner!"

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

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

One was in the heavens, the other on the ground! Though the two envied her, they did not resent her. After all, envy was not something one could force.

There was not much for them 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 flicker several times upon the Heaven Suppressing Stele.

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

This also showed that Zhao Wuji already knew about Dai Mubai's injuries.

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

After all, Yun Feng had struck exceptionally heavily.

Without a top-tier healing-type martial soul, recovery could only come with time.

After glancing at Yun Feng, Zhao Wuji said in a 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 words.

After all, he was holding back some bad intentions.

Still, they had to go through the proper procedures.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is no place to be taken lightly. There are many soul beasts inside, and they are all highly aggressive. They have little goodwill toward humans, so everyone must be careful."

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

"After entering the forest, maintain this formation and stay alert at all times. Let's move out."

Hearing Yun Feng's words, Tang San subconsciously pointed at his own face, then asked in surprise and disbelief,

"Me?"

"Yes, you!"

"But my Soul Power is the lowest. Isn't it inappropriate for me to go first?"

Seeing Tang San act this way, Yun Feng smiled.

"You've got it wrong. I chose you for the front after observing your abilities. Your strength may not be the greatest, but your powers of observation are excellent. You'll make an unquestionable scout."

Tang San was startled upon hearing this. He had not expected Yun Feng to be so perceptive!

That level of attention was terrifying!

But since Yun Feng had put it that way, Tang San did not want to be invisible either. He immediately said, "All right, then."

Zhao Wuji merely watched coldly from the side. He did not join their formation and simply 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 they began their journey, the students started to understand the importance of what Yun Feng had said yesterday!

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

As they continued onward, 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.

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

As long as they ate one of the sausages conjured by Oscar's martial soul every hour, everyone could remain energetic. Even Ning Rongrong could barely keep up with the group's pace.

Without putting it to actual use, one would never understand the importance of a support-type martial soul. Oscar, too, because of the marvelous effects of his sausages.

Since they had not yet entered the forest, Ma Hongjun, as Oscar's good brother, had to help him bear part of the weight 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 kingdom.

Suotuo City itself was also in the southeast of the Balak Kingdom. It was not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, less than five hundred kilometers away.

Thus, it was naturally the best choice for Shrek Academy's students to obtain soul rings.
