Da Wa Was Dumbfounded: "Where Is Spirit Hall?"

But Spirit Hall's power was terrifying. It held an extremely high status on Douluo Continent, even rivaling the two great empires.

Its ranks of Spirit Masters were also enormous. The combined number of Spirit Masters in the two empires might not even surpass Spirit Hall's.

Not to mention its hundreds of Soul Douluo; there were over a dozen known Titled Douluo, while Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong were both Peerless Douluo.

It could be said that there was not even the slightest chance of escaping their grasp, much less taking Xiao Xue away.

"Da Wa... how could you be so impulsive?! Saving your Mother is your Father's responsibility! How could I possibly let a child like you go?!"

Shi Bantian was so anxious that tears nearly fell from his eyes. Perhaps only a father could understand how Shi Bantian felt at that moment!

He was truly far too worried about Shi Hao's safety!

Seeing Shi Bantian's expression, the little gourds on the vine comforted him in their childish voices.

"Father... Father, don't be sad."

"Eldest Brother is very strong. He'll definitely rescue Mother."

"Father... Father, we'll grow up quickly too and go help Eldest Brother."

Shi Bantian looked at the still-childish gourds on the Gourd Vine and let out a deep sigh.

The remaining six Gourd Babies had yet to be born. Shi Bantian still needed to prioritize caring for them and simply could not spare the attention to chase after Shi Hao.

Sigh. (╥ω╥`)

Shi Bantian sighed deeply. There was nothing else he could do. He could only silently pray that Da Wa would not come to harm.

Otherwise, he truly would have no way to explain himself to Qian Renxue.

At that moment.

Shi Hao, who had slipped away, headed down the mountain with a delighted expression on his face.

"Whoa... whoa, I'm out!!"

"I'm out!!! Hahaha!!"

Da Wa looked like Sun Wukong just after escaping Five Finger Mountain, his face brimming with uncontrollable excitement. In truth, even if he had not come to rescue his Mother, Qian Renxue—

Da Wa had long wanted to come out. Shi Bantian often told them about the wonders of the world of Douluo Continent. Although he had been born for quite some time, he had barely ever left home.

He had long yearned for the outside world!

"Spirit Hall... I'll crush every last one of you, then bring Mother back!!"

Shi Hao declared domineeringly, his eyes filled with absolute confidence!!

Crack! Crack...

The wild wind howled around him, accentuating Shi Hao's imposing aura. Yet with that still-childish face, it was difficult to make anyone feel afraid no matter how one looked at him.

"Uh... crush Spirit Hall? Are you serious? How about we go back instead? Don't make the old master worry."

The tiger he was riding beneath him bared its fangs and communicated with Da Wa in beast speech. The moment it opened its mouth, it revealed that half its teeth were missing.

It was precisely the Demonic Pattern White Tiger Shi Hao had casually brought from home!

"Spirit Hall is far too powerful... we're no match for them. If it really comes down to it... you can make me go back."

"Haha... it's not that I'm scared. I just think the old master needs my help over there."

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger laughed awkwardly. Damn it... if you want to get yourself killed, don't drag me along! Although Da Wa was similarly monstrous, it still feared Spirit Hall even more, because it knew full well just how terrifying Spirit Hall was.

Bang!

The next moment, the Demonic Pattern White Tiger cried out in pain as Shi Hao punched it on the head.

"Big Cat... if you dare mention running away again, I'll knock out the rest of your teeth!!"

Shi Hao shouted angrily. How could it boost others' morale while crushing its own?

The Demonic Pattern White Tiger covered its head and did not dare retort.

The man and tiger traveled through the forest for quite a while before Shi Hao suddenly seemed to remember something and froze in place.

"Uh... I think I forgot to ask Father where Spirit Hall is. Oh no, oh no."

Shi Hao scratched his head in frustration with his chubby little hand.

The toothless tiger beneath him was dumbfounded. "You don't even know where Spirit Hall is, and you just came out like this... do you have to be this fearless?"

It began having second thoughts again, but the tiger only grumbled inwardly and did not dare reveal anything on its face. This little ancestor was the most violent of them all!

"Do you know where Spirit Hall is, Big Cat?!"

Shi Hao asked the tiger beneath him.

"No... I've never left this forest. I only heard the stories about Spirit Hall from those humans who came into the forest to explore."

Shi Hao scratched his head. At that moment, the Demonic Pattern White Tiger asked timidly in beast speech, "Little ancestor, how about we go back and ask? Then we'll know where Spirit Hall is."

"No, no. I sneaked out. If I go back, Father won't let me come out anymore."

"Your idea is terrible!"

Then Shi Hao gave the tiger's head a couple of thumping punches with his little fist. He clearly had not used much strength, or the tiger might have collapsed on the spot. Even so, the tiger was terrified.

It carefully spoke again.

"Then how about we go to the Star Dou Great Forest? There are many high-level soul beasts there. Our forest happens to border the Star Dou Great Forest... you can spend some time asking around... they might know."

"Alright, alright, let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest! Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup..."

"I'm not a horse..."

"Then, meow, meow, meow... anyway, hurry up and go."

"Okay..."

The man and tiger quickly vanished into the depths of the forest.

Star Dou Great Forest, outer region!

At that moment, a scene common to the Star Dou Great Forest was unfolding: humans hunting a soul beast.

Rumble, rumble!

A huge soul beast charged wildly at several humans, but its speed was far too clumsy compared to theirs.

Everyone dodged its attacks, while attacks from the humans' side struck it one after another!

"Zhu Qing, move!!"

Someone roared.

"The others, support her... don't let any other soul beasts get close."

"Alright!"

A cold female voice rang out. The next moment, a graceful figure leaped high into the air. The first thing that caught the eye was a girl with a voluptuous, fiery figure utterly unfitting for her age. Her expression was cold, her eyes deep, carrying a trace of mystery.

The girl transformed into a streak of afterimages, then drove her blade-like claws deep through the soul beast's left eye and into its brain, ending its life.

The massive soul beast crashed to the ground, and a purple soul ring rose from its body!

The girl let out a long breath of relief.

"Finally succeeded..."

The group quickly gathered around her.

"Haha... we finally did it. All that effort wasn't wasted."

"Zhu Qing, hurry up and absorb it!"

This group was none other than the people from Shrek Academy. Their purpose in coming here was to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament in Heaven Dou City.

They happened to be passing through the Star Dou Great Forest, so they took the opportunity to obtain some soul rings.

At this point, aside from Tang San and Xiao Wu, the other Shrek Seven Devils had all obtained their fourth soul rings.

"Little San, Zhu Qing already has her fourth soul ring. Quickly look for the soul beast you want as your soul ring, and have the teachers capture it for you."

As the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai spoke to Tang San.

"I noticed a six-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider earlier. It seems quite good. Although it exceeds the maximum absorption limit somewhat, your physical constitution should be able to withstand it..." The one speaking was Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

As a theoretical Master, he felt that his suggestion suited Tang San very well.

"Alright."

Tang San nodded. The Man Faced Demon Spider was indeed a good choice.
