Dragon God Douluo, Mu En!

Without even guessing, Zhou Huan already knew what had happened on Sea God Island.

Mu En's Life finally came to an end.

This display of dragon roars shaking the four directions is probably meant to intimidate other forces, while the golden light is most likely a perk for the Inner Court disciple on Sea God Island.

At this moment, Snow Empress's voice came from the Floating Pagoda: "It seems that your academy's Limit Douluo is not completely dead."

Zhou Huan also replied telepathically, "Yes, he's not completely dead, but it's practically the same as being dead. He's just fused his soul and Spiritual Power with the Golden Tree. Dragon God Douluo, in the end, still gave his entire life to protect Shrek, even after death."

Many people have different opinions about Mu En when reading the original work.

Some people think that Mu En was a great Sea God Pavilion Master because he dedicated his life to Shrek. In order to protect Shrek and give the younger generation more time, he had to resist the enormous pain of his body about to break every day. In fact, if it weren't for his strong belief, this Dragon God Douluo would have died long ago.

Of course, some people think that Mu En's character is just so-so. He actually made Zhang Lexuan, who was so young, swear that she would be Beibei's wife in the future. Then, after Beibei grew up and met Tang Ya, he told Zhang Lexuan that she didn't need to keep her vow anymore. It's like he's making a fool of her.

Some have even gone so far as to claim, from a conspiracy theory perspective, that Mu En was actually responsible for the downfall of the Zhang family.

However, the original novel did not provide specific details about the destruction of Zhang Lexuan's family.

Zhou Huan naturally had no idea.

Especially after arriving in this world, Zhou Huan had never truly had any contact with Mu En, let alone any conversation with him.

Moreover, what kind of person Mu En was is no longer important to Zhou Huan.

The most important thing is that Shrek lost the Limit Douluo.

The security has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, Zhou Huan thought for a moment and then transmitted his voice to the Snow Empress, saying, "Snow Empress, I plan to condense my First Soul Core after becoming Soul Sage."

Snow Empress paused for a moment before asking, "Are you confident?"

Zhou Huan said, "I have some ideas, but I'll have to make a trip to the Core Circle of Extreme North."

The Snow Empress replied indifferently, "Whatever you say, but the seventh Soul Ring is indeed very important, and it's time to go to the Extreme North."

While the two were talking, Wen Xiaoshuai and Wang Qingya walked over.

Seeing Zhou Huan lost in thought, Wang Qingya slapped him on the shoulder. "Zhou Huan, what are you thinking about? Have you forgotten that you're supposed to come with me to get Soul Ring today?"

Zhou Huan: "Uh..." It's not that I forgot, but I was just thinking about Mu En's death and didn't think of it for a moment.

Wang Qingya snorted, "As expected, you forgot."

What could Zhou Huan say at this point? She could only laugh and say, "Alright, alright, stop acting like a complaining woman, let's go."

Wang Qingya wasn't really angry; it was just the typical girlish mentality.

So the three of them left Shrek and headed to the Star Dou Great Forest in the southeast of the academy.

Along the way, Wang Qingya asked, "Did something happen on Sea God Island? This morning, Xiao Xiao left the dormitory very early and even asked me if we could postpone the time for obtaining the Soul Ring by two days. I think the two of you should be enough, so let her do what she wants."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan nodded. "Something did happen, but it's an Inner Court matter, so we don't need to worry about it."

After hearing this, Wang Qingya didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said, "By the way, Xiao Xiao has passed the Inner Court's assessment and will be moving in soon. What are your thoughts on this?"

Wen Xiaoshuai didn't speak, but instead looked at Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan casually said, "What can I think? I'm just a lowly Soul Ancestor, only in fourth grade, no need to rush. Xiao Xiao is different; she has Twin Martial Souls and is Xuan Zi's Disciple, so it's normal for her to enter the Inner Court earlier."

Wen Xiaoshuai thought for a moment and said, "There's really no need to rush. Except for a few exceptions, in most cases, one is only qualified to enter the Inner Court if they reach the Soul King level before graduating from the Outer Court Sixth Grade."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingya smiled and said, "That's great! That way I can take the entrance exam for the Inner Court with you all."

Zhou Huan was speechless. "... So, that's what you're thinking?"

Wang Qingya replied confidently, "Of course, I don't want to be left behind."

One day later, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

This was Zhou Huan's first time stepping into the Star Dou Great Forest since arriving in the Douluo Continent, the most powerful gathering place for Soul Beast outside of the unknown ocean region.

Di Tian, Bi Ji, Myriad Monster King, Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, Zi JI...

Most importantly, there is the injured and sleeping Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.

This is also why Zhou Huan has always been unwilling to set foot in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Of course, being so weak now, he certainly wouldn't provoke those terrifying beings.

Previously, Zhou Huan had only held the belief that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and since his Frost Spirit did not really need to come to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Soul Beast, he had never been here before.

However, now that it's about helping Wang Qingya obtain her fourth Soul Ring, there's nothing to hesitate about making a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, they were just looking for suitable thousand-year-old Soul Beast on the outskirts.

Some might wonder, given Zhou Huan's treacherous nature, why would he give Wang Qingya and the other two Immortal Herbs and help them obtain Soul Ring?

Doesn't this increase your own risk?

In response, Zhou Huan could only say that being a coward doesn't mean living like a rat hiding in a dark corner.

Even God King Tang, regardless of the reason, was willing to give the Immortal Herb to Dai Mubai and his companions.

Is it possible that Zhou Huan can't do what God King Tang can do?

This isn't Zhou Huan trying to compare himself to anyone; it's just that Zhou Huan has always acted according to his own conscience.

He doesn't have many friends; even in his past life, as a complete shut-in, he only had a handful.

Therefore, Zhou Huan always cherishes his true friends.

It's obvious that Wang Qingya, Wen Xiaoshuai, and Xiao Xiao are Zhou Huan's acknowledged friends.

Zhou Huan is willing to accept any risks that may arise from this.

Otherwise, if one is merely living to survive, what is the point of becoming stronger?

Is it all just to become a god, to achieve immortality, and then look back to find no one around?

That was definitely not what Zhou Huan was looking for.

Perhaps if he stubbornly clings to life, ignoring everything and ignoring everything else, he could truly become a god of survival, but that is by no means Zhou Huan's true intention.

While it's natural to be cautious and timid, it doesn't mean being inactive or afraid to do anything.

Therefore, when Wang Qingya wanted to obtain her fourth Soul Ring, Zhou Huan did not back down and naturally offered his help if he could.

"Zhou Huan, we're almost at the Star Dou Great Forest. What kind of Soul Beast Soul Ring do you think I should get this time?" Wang Qingya suddenly asked. In her opinion, Zhou Huan's knowledge of Martial Soul was second only to Teacher Wang Yan.

Zhou Huan thought for a moment and said, "I can think of quite a few Soul Beast, but for you, there is actually a very good reference."

At this moment, Wen Xiaoshuai continued, "Food God Douluo, Oscar."

Wang Qingya's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but she quickly said somewhat dejectedly, "But it's not that easy!"

Zhou Huan teased, "Maybe our Miss Qingya is a daughter of the gods, blessed with good fortune and divine favor, getting whatever she wants."

Wang Qingya rolled her eyes immediately upon hearing this. "I think you really couldn't have come up with something so outrageous without ten years of brain thrombosis. If I were the daughter of a god, I would definitely beat up my parents right away."

At that moment, in an old house in Falling Shore City of the Star Luo Empire, a young couple sneezed simultaneously.

Upon hearing Wang Qingya's unconventional idea, Zhou Huan revealed a look of curiosity. "You're taking filial piety to the extreme! I really feel sorry for your uncle and aunt."

Wang Qingya pouted and said, "Shouldn't he have been given a beating? What kind of god hides things from his own daughter?"

Zhou Huan was speechless. If it was just about hiding it, what was the point?

What you may not know is that a certain God King split his daughter's soul into two parts.

That's what it means to be an unfilial father!

However, this was something he couldn't explain to Wang Qingya.

At this moment, Wen Xiaoshuai spoke up, "Can you two be normal for once? You're talking as if Qingya is really the daughter of a god. Don't forget we're here to find Soul Beast and retrieve Soul Ring."

Zhou Huan & Wang Qingya: "..."

The topic seems to have veered off course.

It's more important to get down to business.

So Zhou Huan said, "Ahem, well, let's be careful and search for the Soul Beast."

Wang Qingya rolled her eyes at Zhou Huan, annoyed. "It's all your fault for talking nonsense."

Then, Wang Qingya said, "Wait, let's make some preparations first."

Wang Qingya's three Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, and purple—lighted up simultaneously.

"Baozi, Baozi, my Little Bun."

"Baozi, Baozi, my Spinach Bun."

"Baozi, Baozi, my Radish Bun."

After casting three soul spells, Wang Qingya had nine Little Bun in her hand.

Then everyone received three.

Wang Qingya's first Soul Skill, Cabbage Bun, restores 60% of consumed Soul Power; her second Soul Skill, Spinach Baozi, increases strength by 50%; and her third Soul Skill, Radish Bun, increases defense by 50%.

These three types of Baozi have one thing in common: they can be preserved for one hour, and the effect lasts for three minutes after eating. However, eating the same type of Baozi consecutively is ineffective; you must wait one hour before eating it to see any effect.

Now that they're entering the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest, Baozi definitely needs to make preparations first.

Once the Baozi lose their effectiveness, just make more.

Despite the short shelf life of these Baozi, regardless of the Soul Skill used, the consumption of Wang Qingya's Soul Power is actually very small, especially since she only needs to make them once every hour.

This is what sets her apart from other Food Type Soul Master.

And so, the three of them, carrying Baozi and ready to activate their Defensive Soul Tool at any moment, began searching for suitable Soul Beast on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
