Ten Great Fierce Beasts

"Zijun, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan—the first batch of students whose names were called, please gather at the academy gates!"

The instructor's voice fell silent.

Zijun and the other four rose and left the classroom in an orderly manner.

"Hey, what do you think the teacher wants the five of us for?"

Xie Yue walked beside Hu Liena, stroking his chin as he pondered.

"Won't we find out soon enough? Instead of wasting your energy on that, you should think more about the problems in your cultivation. Among us, your Soul Power is the lowest."

Yan stood beside them with his arms folded, replying expressionlessly.

Glancing at Yan beside him, Xie Yue shot back in a mocking tone.

"Oh? Looks like Master Yan's cultivation has improved since the tournament ended. What level are you now? Tell me so I can have a laugh."

Yan clicked his tongue and ignored him, continuing on his way.

Before long, the five arrived at the academy gates. But when Yan and the other two saw the person standing outside—

Their expressions turned to astonishment.

"Young Master! Over here!"

The person standing outside was none other than Spirit Hall's Grand Consecrator, Little Gray, the God of Pride.

"Young Master?" Hu Liena and the other two exclaimed in shock.

The five walked up to him. With his hands behind his back, Zijun asked in confusion,

"What are you doing here?"

Little Gray scratched the back of his head with a guileless smile and answered,

"I'm here to protect you! The academy is sending you to the Star Dou Forest to see where Spirit Beasts live, and I was assigned to go with you."

After hearing Little Gray's answer, the five nodded.

Coming back to their senses, Xie Yue and the other two interjected in shock.

"Grand Consecrator, why... why do you call His Highness Zijun Young Master? What exactly is your relationship?"

Seeing their shocked expressions, Little Gray pursed his lips in confusion.

"You don't know my relationship with Young Master?"

"No." Xie Yue shook his head without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing the expressions on Xie Yue and the others, Zijun turned and explained to the three of them.

"Little Gray and I are both master and friends. He serves under my father, which is why he calls me Young Master."

After hearing Zijun's words, the shock on their faces deepened even further!

The reason the three of them did not know about Zijun's relationship with Little Gray—

Was partly because Bibi Dong had never made it public, and partly because of Bibi Dong's personality. She basically never chatted casually with her students.

Even if Bibi Dong had been willing to chat, Hu Liena would not have dared to ask.

In her heart, Bibi Dong had always been a stern teacher.

Other than discussing matters related to cultivation with her, Bibi Dong rarely took the initiative to mention anything else.

That was why the three of them knew only Zijun's name and that Little Gray was the new Grand Consecrator, nothing more.

After all, Little Gray was a Title Douluo stronger than Bibi Dong!

Who besides the higher-ups would have imagined that such a figure was Zijun's servant?

"Holy shit! A Title Douluo's servant! Your Highness Zijun, what exactly does your family do?"

Xie Yue looked at Zijun with eyes full of envy.

When it came to his family, Zijun himself did not know how to explain it.

If he said he was a god's child, Xie Yue and the others would definitely take him for a lunatic!

What god's child would attend a mortal school? No matter how one thought about it, that seemed impossible!

"How should I put it... maybe my family is especially rich, so we can afford to hire someone as strong as Little Gray as a guard."

Zijun shrugged and made up an excuse.

Yet strangely enough—

Xie Yue and the other two actually believed him!

Seeing the three of them nod in unison, Qian Renxue lowered her head and covered her mouth as she giggled.

"Since everyone is here, let's set off! To the Star Dou Forest!"

Half an hour later.

At the exit of Spirit City's gates, Zijun and the other six chatted and laughed as they set out on foot for the Star Dou Forest!

As for why they had not hired a carriage, it was mainly because they were not in a hurry.

"Before we enter the Star Dou Forest, let me teach you some knowledge about Spirit Beasts."

The instructor clenched his fist and coughed into it, then adjusted the glasses on his nose and suddenly became serious.

"The Star Dou Forest contains many powerful Spirit Beasts! For example, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape! Without exception, they are all Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!"

It was the first time Hu Liena and the other two had heard about Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Their eyes were filled with thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

"Teacher, just how powerful are those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts?"

Xie Yue asked curiously.

The instructor curled his lips into a smile, then looked toward the Star Dou Forest with fear in his eyes.

"In a one-on-one fight, not a single Title Douluo is their match! That is precisely why those two Spirit Beasts became the overlords of the Star Dou Forest!"

After hearing the instructor's answer, Xie Yue sucked in a breath of cold air.

Listening to the instructor's explanation, Zijun, who had been listening for quite a while, finally could not help adding,

"Besides those two Spirit Beasts, the Star Dou Forest also contains even more powerful Spirit Beasts! Some of them are nearly a million years old!"

Hearing this new information, Xie Yue and the other two turned to look at Zijun. Even the instructor leading them looked over curiously.

"They include the Black Dragon Di Tian, the Emerald Swan, the Demon Eye Demon Tree, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff, and more! Every one of them is a fierce beast beyond the Hundred-Thousand-Year level!"

As they discussed Spirit Beasts, Little Gray beside them could not resist joining in.

"In our homeland, there was once an incredibly powerful Spirit Beast! If several great figures had not joined forces, it nearly wiped out our homeland!"

"Stronger than a Title Douluo?" Xie Yue asked innocently.

Little Gray, the God of Pride, gave a disdainful smile. With his hands behind his back and his head raised at a forty-five-degree angle, he said grandly,

"The shockwaves from that battle were beyond the ability of even the most ordinary gods to observe. Let alone Title Douluo."

Hearing Little Gray's words, Zijun suddenly seemed to remember that the Star Dou Forest still had one... no!

It should be one person...!

Gu Yuena! How could I forget about that? Gu Yuena should still be recovering from her injuries in the depths of the Lake of Life.

If I saved her, the relationship between the Spirit Beast clan and Spirit Hall—

Could at least reach peaceful coexistence. They might even become friends!

At that thought, Zijun could not help grinning foolishly.

Noticing Zijun's strange behavior, Qian Renxue, who was holding his arm, softly interrupted him.

"Xiao Jun? What are you plotting this time? The last time you smiled like that, Grandpa became a barbecue chef. What do you want to do this time?"

Coming back to his senses.

Zijun scratched the back of his head, turned to Qian Renxue, and answered,

"Nothing. I just thought of a way that might allow Spirit Hall and the Spirit Beasts to coexist peacefully, hehe!"

At Shrek Academy, the moment Tang San first saw Xiao Wu—

Even Tang San, who had always been deeply calculating and shrewd, was utterly captivated by her.

It was also the first time he had encountered such an innocent and adorable girl.

"Tomorrow, Teacher Zhao and I will take you little monsters to the Star Dou Forest to help Oscar obtain a suitable Soul Ring."

Star Dou Forest temporary station.

By the time the seven arrived at the entrance to their destination, the sky had already darkened.

After Zijun and the other six rented seven rooms at the station, they returned to their respective rooms to rest.
