"Teacher Zhou, Xiao Wu and I had a lucky encounter, and then we both got stronger."
Huo Yuhao looked at Zhou Yi, smiled, and spoke.
Facing Zhou Yi, Huo Yuhao could feel her concern.
Zhou Yi meant no harm.
Zhou Yi let out a breath. A moment later, she smiled and shook her head, changing the subject.
"Come on. Have you prepared everything you need?"
She didn't pry into Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu's secrets. After all, those were personal matters.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "There's not much to prepare. We'll only be changing clothes for the next few days, so I brought a few light outfits."
"Besides, if we want something to eat, we can just hunt a couple of Soul Beasts in the forest."
Zhou Yi nodded too, then led Xiao Wu and Huo Yuhao toward Star Dou Forest...
As they entered Star Dou Forest, a rich breath of nature washed over them.
Towering trees blotted out the sky, and sunlight spilled through gaps in the leaves, forming golden shafts of light.
Low growls from Soul Beasts sounded from time to time around them. Some were deep and imposing, others sharp and eerie.
A mysterious, dangerous air hung over the forest, as if warning them that this was Soul Beast territory and humans shouldn't come in looking for trouble...
Before long, Zhou Yi led Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu to a relatively secluded spot on the outskirts of Star Dou Forest.
Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu and said, "Let me make one thing clear first: this time, we'll see what luck brings."
"Yuhao, your Martial Soul has a Mental Attribute, so it won't be easy to find a suitable Soul Beast. Let's find a suitable one for Xiao Wu first. How does that sound?"
