The miserable cries from Canghui Academy truly startled the several people from Shrek Academy.
Zhao Wuji scratched at his waist with his right hand.
"Was that Old Turtle really so weak?"
"Did he die from just a casual slap from me?"
"He must be playing dead."
Zhao Wuji did not linger and turned to leave.
The others from Shrek Academy hurriedly slipped away as well.
Tang Lin looked at Ye Zhi Qiu lying on the ground and muttered to herself, "Dead?"
"He shouldn't be. He was alive and well in the original plot."
"Besides, my Blue Silver Domain can still sense signs of life."
"Could it be he's playing dead?"
"By the way, they just ran off after beating someone to death? They provoked him first, beat him to death, and then said he was too weak?"
She had to admit that everyone at Shrek Academy was truly evil.
"Teacher, they've all left."
After hearing Zhao Wuji and the others depart, Ye Zhi Qiu quietly opened one eye and looked around.
After confirming that they had gone far away, he immediately let out a long breath and opened his other eye as well.
A pair of eyes suddenly appeared before Ye Zhi Qiu's own.
"Ah!"
Ye Zhi Qiu was frightened into letting out a string of frantic screams.
"Ah!"
"Old Turtle, I knew you were playing dead!"
A very familiar figure appeared before them.
The newcomer was Zhao Wuji. After returning, the more he thought about it, the more Something was wrong, so he turned back to take a look.
"I knew my hand wasn't that heavy."
"You still dared to play dead?"
"What? Were you trying to make me feel guilty forever?"
"You nearly froze my students to death."
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly and slapped Ye Zhi Qiu again.
Whoosh!
Smack!
Ye Zhi Qiu's body flew out once more.
His turtle shell, already covered in cracks, shattered into several pieces with a series of cracking sounds.
Blood continuously poured from his mouth.
Finally, his head tilted to one side, and he collapsed to the ground without another reaction.
The students of Canghui Academy quickly ran over and placed a finger beneath Ye Zhi Qiu's nose.
No breath!
In an instant, several students' eyes widened.
"Teacher."
"Teacher."
"Teacher!"
Zhao Wuji laughed disdainfully and slowly stepped forward to check.
Sure enough, there was no breath left. He was dead.
How could anyone survive two slaps from a Soul Sage?
"Still pretending."
After leaving those words behind, he casually dusted off his hands without lingering and turned back to sleep.
The Canghui Academy students glared furiously at Zhao Wuji, yet they dared not voice their anger. Their teacher had been swatted to death like a mosquito—what could they possibly do?
The next morning, while the sky was still barely light, Zhao Wuji used his booming voice to wake everyone up.
Having killed someone meant nothing to him; his heart remained completely unmoved.
After breakfast, everyone once again set out for Star Dou Forest, The sun slowly rose in the east, gradually expanding that glimmer of fish-belly white as the sky brightened.
After leaving the town, everyone quickened their pace. They were already close to Star Dou Forest, so they hurried onward at full speed.
Naturally, Oscar was the most excited. He was about to obtain his third Soul Ring, and he desperately wanted to know what kind of enhancement it would bring him.
He knew that Zhao Wuji would definitely lead them to hunt at least one ordinary Thousand Year Soul Beast for him.
By noon, the group finally arrived at the outskirts of Star Dou Forest, Towering trees reached into the sky, making it seem like a primordial forest, with no visible path leading inside.
Before they even entered the forest, Tang Lin's Blue Silver Domain had already activated passively, In a place filled with so many plants, the Blue Silver Domain was strengthened, Its radius increased from one hundred meters to two hundred meters, Sensing the Divine Emperor's aura, countless Blue Silver Grass plants cheered and rejoiced.
The fresh air left Tang Lin feeling thoroughly refreshed.
"Everyone, stop!"
Zhao Wuji called everyone to a halt, "Star Dou Forest is extremely dangerous,"
"You may encounter attacks from Thousand Year Soul Beasts or even Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts at any time,"
"Once we enter the forest, none of you may stray more than twenty meters away from me,"
"No one is allowed to attack Soul Beasts carelessly,"
"Ning Rongrong, Oscar, the two of you must stay close to me!"
"Oh, and Tang Lin, you too."
Everyone promptly answered, "Understood!"
"Oscar, prepare more sausages and cured sausages. One of each for everyone—hold them ready now,"
"If things become critical, eat them immediately,"
"His Soul Curse may be a little disgusting, but the effects are extremely potent,"
"If anyone would rather lose their life than endure that disgust, then they needn't eat them. I won't force them."
Oscar rapidly chanted the curse. In no time at all, he had a large handful of sausages and cured sausages in his hands.
"Hehe,"
He gave a lecherous grin and quickly distributed the sausages and cured sausages to everyone, Even Zhao Wuji received some.
Tang San and several others accepted them very reluctantly, especially the girls, The cured sausages were manageable—small and thin enough that they did not feel like much, But those sausages, Holding one always felt like they were gripping something else belonging to Oscar.
"Senior Student, I'll take one cured sausage. I don't need the sausage."
Tang Lin accepted a cured sausage without touching the sausage, She still found it deeply disgusting, Zhao Wuji frowned, "Tang Lin, take it,"
"It could save your life!"
Tang Lin hurriedly shook her head. There was no way she would take it, Disgusting!
"Actually, I can also condense Food System items to heal people. They probably won't be weaker than Oscar's Sausage."
With that simple sentence, In an instant, Everyone froze.
"You can conjure something from the Food System?"
Zhao Wuji asked again.
He didn't believe it at all. And it wasn't just him—no one else believed it either. A Battle System Soul Master conjuring food?
What kind of joke was that?
"Let me see it. Why don't I believe you?"
"You only have two Soul Skills, too."
Tang Lin said quietly.
"Martial Souls are formed from food and can be absorbed. Besides, plants are edible to begin with. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for Blue Silver Grass, as a plant, to be edible?"
"Also, Soul Skills aren't obtained solely by absorbing Soul Rings."
To avoid eating Oscar's Sausage, she could only reveal a little. In any case, revealing this wouldn't affect anything.
Two Yellow Soul Rings slowly rose beneath Tang Lin's feet.
"All-Purpose Healing Blue Silver Grass!"
She spread open her right hand and shouted the Soul Curse.
A blade of deep azure Blue Silver Grass appeared in her palm.
In an instant, everyone's eyes widened. Even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing was no exception.
She had really conjured it!
How was that possible?!
Oscar's jaw practically hit the floor.
A Battle System Soul Master could conjure something from the Food System?
Then what was he?
Where did that leave him, a proper Food System Soul Master?
