Into the Star Dou Great Forest Again

Shortly after Chen Feng and the others received their gifts, voices could be heard coming from outside.

Chen Feng recognized his companions' voices and went over to open the shop door.

Zhao Wuji was taking out his keys to open the door, was taken aback.

"Xiao Feng, you're back? How's Little Fatty doing?"

As Zhao Wuji walked into the shop, he put away the key, and the others followed him in.

"Just as we guessed, Hongjun's mother is a Soul Master," Chen Feng said.

"What about her Soul Ring attributes?" Qin Ming asked, Dai Mubai also looked at Chen Feng curiously.

"That's fine too, it's Fire Attribute."

"It seems there are indeed no exceptions to the Foundation Building Method," Qin Ming said, not particularly surprised.

"That's not entirely true. It's more accurate to say that there are no exceptions under normal circumstances. However, if there are strong external factors interfering, this pattern cannot be relied upon accurately." Chen Feng shook his head slightly.

The so-called powerful external factors are some extraordinary situations, such as God-Bestowed Martial Soul.

In this situation, no rules apply.

"I didn't expect you to be so meticulous, Xiao Feng," Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Research naturally requires rigor. Our world has gods, powerful beings capable of breaking conventions, so we can't be so absolute about some things," Chen Feng said, shrugging.

Qin Ming gave Chen Feng a strange look; it was the first time he had ever heard someone say that a god was a powerful being.

The Grandmaster then spoke up, "Xiao Feng, don't say those things again, especially not in front of the Spirit Hall."

Chen Feng paused for a moment, then nodded to indicate that he understood.

He realized that he had inadvertently revealed his attitude of having no reverence for the gods, which was somewhat out of place in the Douluo Continent, like a Husky hiding among a pack of wolves.

Or you could say it the other way around.

Fortunately, none of the people here are religious, so Chen Feng doesn't have to worry about being burned at the stake.

As Flender said, the Image Recorder in Xiao Wu's hand was not very reliable, and the images it produced were not very clear.

Even so, Xiao Wu was quite satisfied with the gift and started playing a photo game with the other girls.

With Flender ' permission, the others also browsed the store, selecting items that interested them.

While everyone was choosing gifts, Meng Yiran, who had already made her selection, came to Flender's side and said, "Dean, I want to go home. I won the Spirit Master Tournament, and I need to celebrate with my grandparents."

"Okay, that's the way to go," Flender agreed.

He looked at the others and asked, "Is anyone else going home? Mubai?"

Dai Mubai waved his hand, "There's no need for me to go back. If I really go back, it might cause some people to have inappropriate thoughts. Let's just forget about it."

He won the Spirit Master Tournament, and his opponent in the second round was still from the Star Luo Royal Academy, which was equivalent to defeating his older brother Dai Weisi.

If he really goes back, there's no telling what kind of people will try to use him to cause trouble.

Indeed, Dai Weisi voluntarily conceded and stepped aside, but those looking to cause trouble wouldn't care about that; they just needed a pretext.

So Dai Mubai didn't bother going back to cause trouble for his father and older brother.

Even if Dai Weisi offered to let him go back, he didn't want to.

Going back to China is out of the question. It's so much more fun traveling abroad! I don't have to deal with all that backstabbing and I can stay with my friends.

Flender then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing also shook her head slightly, clearly having no intention of returning, just like Dai Mubai.

But Xiao Wu said at this moment, "Dean, I want to go home and visit. Xiao San will come with me."

"Okay." Flender readily agreed.

"Xiao Feng, you come too," Xiao Wu said again.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both looked over, and Xiao Wu immediately felt a little flustered.

Fortunately, the two girls didn't say anything and continued picking out things that interested them.

After considering Xiao Wu's suggestion for a moment, Chen Feng nodded, as he had already been considering acting alone.

If he were with the main force, it wouldn't be very convenient for him to go and take a look at Crimson Sand City, because he wouldn't have a reasonable excuse.

Moreover, he only decided to go to Crimson Sand City after he went to Perching Feather Village, which could easily arouse Ma Hongjun's suspicion.

Although Ma Hongjun might not think much of it given his personality, Chen Feng didn't need to create such a loophole, so going to the Star Dou Great Forest with Xiao Wu would actually be beneficial for Chen Feng.

However, shouldn't Gu Yue Ling take this opportunity to go back? Chen Feng glanced subtly at the blonde girl who was picking out gifts, and found that she had no intention of speaking.

At this moment, Chen Feng noticed that Xiao Wu was also silently observing Gu Yue Ling, and a thought suddenly struck him.

Could it be...?

After the boys and girls had chosen their gifts, the group had a big meal at a Hotel in Suotuo City, and this time Liu Erlong paid the bill.

Then everyone went their separate ways. Chen Feng, Tang San Xiao Wu left the group together, but they did not head straight for the Star Dou Great Forest. Instead, they first walked westward towards Nuoding City for a while, and after getting away from the city and confirming that no one was following them, they changed direction.

After circling around twice more, they finally plunged into the Star Dou Great Forest late at night.

After a rapid journey, the three stopped at a certain place. After Tang San confirmed that no one was around for a distance, Chen Feng asked Xiao Wu to cancel the concealment of her aura.

But soon, he had Xiao Wu conceal her presence again.

Having learned her lesson the hard way before, Xiao Wu didn't dare to reveal her presence directly after entering the Star Dou Great Forest this time. However, the three of them couldn't just walk straight to where Da Ming Er Ming were, so they still had to give Er Ming a signal so that it would come to pick them up.

Therefore, briefly exposing Xiao Wu's aura would be a good choice.

As the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, Er Ming has the eyes of all the Soul Beast there. Once he knows that Xiao Wu has returned, finding the three of them will not be difficult.

"Xiao Feng, you're being too cautious," Xiao Wu couldn't help but say after doing what Chen Feng had asked her to do.

"A brief release of your aura is fine, but why did you have to go through all this trouble before even getting here?"

Chen Feng glanced at her. "You're not really going to walk in a straight line home, are you? No way, no way?"

Xiao Wu blushed; she really had gone in a straight line when she returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

While observing their surroundings through the plants, Tang San said, "Xiao Wu, you can't do that anymore. You need to be more careful. Otherwise, if you keep running towards the Star Dou Great Forest, it will definitely arouse suspicion."

"Okay," Xiao Wu replied helplessly.

"By the way, Xiao Wu, what do you think of Ling'er?" Chen Feng asked.

"I feel... she seems to be like me," Xiao Wu said hesitantly.

"Just like you?" Tang San was taken aback. "Xiao Wu, you mean...?"

"Yes, I have that feeling, but I'm not entirely sure." Xiao Wu nodded.

She looked at Chen Feng, "Xiao Feng, you suddenly brought her up, did you also discover something?"

Chen Feng nodded slightly. "We did sense something, but if she doesn't say anything, there's no need for us to ask."

"I wonder what she's here for," Xiao Wu muttered.

"Maybe he's like you, Xiao Wu, running off to play?" Tang San guessed.

Then another question came to his mind, "Speaking of the breathing issue, how did she resolve it?"

Xiao Wu's technique for concealing her aura was first conceived by Chen Feng, and then Xiao Wu imitated the technique that Tang San, Half-Blood, had mastered.

What about Gu Yue Ling?

"There might be other ways, but we don't need to delve into that. It's enough that we know this happened," Chen Feng said.

Tang San understood and said, "Speaking of which, Xiao Feng, do you remember the first time we met her? I felt she was very interested in you back then. Do you think she might have been attracted to you?"

"But Xiao Feng didn't reveal his identity back then. In other people's eyes, he was just a talented young man. Why was Ling'er attracted to him?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

Tang San pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, she first appeared in Suotuo City, so her home is most likely here. Secondly, although Xiao Feng didn't reveal his identity at that time, he had just completed a crucial experiment. Judging from that experiment alone, it's entirely possible that she was attracted there."

Xiao Wu paused for a moment, "But we were the only ones around at the time, there couldn't have been anyone else."

She was quite certain of this because Er Ming was working nearby as a supervisor at the time, and he would have definitely notified her if anything unusual Er Ming.

"It's not necessarily necessary to be around. Xiao Wu, do you remember who came up with the plan to help Xiao Feng Xiao Feng up after he was attacked by Shi Nian?" Tang San reminded her.

"It's... Ling'er."

"So the question is, how did she master Mental Power techniques? There must be some kind of inheritance in this area. And Mental Power can be used for spying and perception, so I guess that when Xiao Feng was experimenting, he was noticed by other... beings, which is why Ling Ji came to our Academy. Of course, this is just my guess," Tang San said.

"That seems to make sense." Xiao Wu thought about it and felt that this explanation was actually quite reasonable.

Chen Feng was secretly astonished. He hadn't expected that his Xiao San, unaware of the full story, would make the same guess as him.

However, this is mainly because Gu Yue Ling's appearance was too sensitive. If she had appeared a few months later, probably no one would have guessed what she was there for.

"Xiao Feng, you think so too, right?" Tang San asked.

"Yes, I did have that guess too," Chen Feng said.

"Then we have another helper!" Xiao Wu said happily.

As they talked, the three of them made their way toward the center of the forest, waiting for Er Ming to find them.

Before long, the woods ahead parted silently, and a huge figure appeared before the three of them.

"Er Ming!" Xiao Wu ran over happily to greet him.

The towering and mighty Titan Giant Ape, however, seemed unusually docile at this moment, obediently squatting down to talk to Xiao Wu.

After a brief encrypted conversation between the man and the ape, the Titan Giant Ape stood up and placed its hand in front of Chen Feng and Tang San.

As usual, the Ape God Roller Coaster is starting!

Recalling the feeling of being carried around by the Ape God last time, Chen Feng licked his lips and said, "Could... I sit on your shoulders with Xiao San?"

Er Ming snorted dismissively, his meaning clear: You're dreaming!

Xiao Wu couldn't help but try to persuade Er Ming, but Er Ming was adamant about it. As the Forest Overlord, it was absolutely impossible for a human to sit on its shoulders.

It's Er Ming that it's going to die, die outside! Even if it's turned into Soul Ring by humans, it would never become a human's mount!

Chen Feng and Tang San exchanged a glance, and could only helplessly stand in Er Ming's palm.

After another whirlwind of speed, the three were brought by Er Ming to the side of a clear little lake, which was where Er Ming usually lived.

"Da Ming, I'm back!" Xiao Wu shouted towards the lake as soon as she got off the Ape Carriage.

To Tang San's astonishment, a gigantic head emerged from the lake.

"Sister Xiao Wu, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Da Ming. Let me introduce you. This is my good friend Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python." Xiao Wu waved to Daming while speaking to Da Ming Chen Feng and Tang San.

Then she introduced Da Ming and Er Ming: "These two are also my good friends, Chen Feng and Tang San."

Da Ming's lantern-like eyes scrutinized the two, and he spoke in a deep human voice, "Humans, Sister Xiao Wu brought you here because she has placed extreme trust in you. I hope you will not betray that trust."

"I would never do anything to hurt Xiao Wu," Tang San said.

"I can't guarantee that, after all, I've fought with her before, but you should know what I'm doing, so there's no need to worry that I'll betray Xiao Wu." Chen Feng smiled.

Da Ming looked at him and said, "You are a very talented human, Chen Feng. Er Ming told me about what you did last time you came here. It was a great achievement. I hope you can promote that method of obtaining Soul Ring to the human world."

"That's exactly what I want to do, but there are still some problems to solve, and the cooperation from the Soul Beast is also very important."

"You don't need to worry about us. As long as you can really get things done, Er Ming and I will get the Soul Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest to cooperate," Da Ming promised.

Xiao Wu then said, "Da Ming Er Ming, you don't know yet, do you? Xiao Feng plans to build an Academy in the northern part of the Star Dou Great Forest. It's sure to work out."

Chen Feng shook his head. "Don't be so optimistic. It will take time to build the Academy, and there's still a problem with the Ring Expansion Method that hasn't been solved."

"What's the problem?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

Chen Feng looked at Da Ming seriously and said, "If we want to establish New Order between humans and Soul Beast and make this order last, it must be beneficial to both humans and Soul Beast. Only in this way will both sides spontaneously maintain it."

"The benefits of the Ring Expansion Method to humans are obvious, allowing them to obtain higher-age Soul Ring in a safer manner. However, its benefits to Soul Beast are currently unclear. You may be able to use force to make Soul Beast accept it in the short term, but problems may arise in the long run."
