Entering the Star Dou Forest, Planning to Absorb a Thousand-Year First Ring!

"Old Li, you're back!"

Zhao Wuji stepped forward and greeted him warmly, his voice exceptionally gruff.

Flender smiled. "Old Li, this is your grandson, right? How did his awakening turn out?"

"Xiao Fei, this is Flender, the dean of Shrek Academy. This is Zhao Wuji, the vice dean. They're the two old brothers Grandpa told you about. Both of them are Soul Saints."

"Old Flender, Old Zhao, this is my grandson, Li Fei."

"He is the hope for the Li Family's future rise."

Li Yusong said with a hearty smile.

"Dean Flender, Vice Dean Zhao."

Li Fei also curiously sized up the two men. Their appearances and builds really were almost identical to those in the anime.

"Don't be so formal. Since you're Old Li's grandson, just call us Uncle Flender and Uncle Zhao. Strictly speaking, we're not even as old as your grandfather."

Flender and Zhao Wuji said with smiles.

"Old Li, tell us. You wouldn't have brought him here for no reason. Are you planning to give us a surprise?" Flender asked.

The moment they first saw Li Fei, they had felt that he was extraordinary. His entire body exuded a deep, solid strength, and he did not seem at all like a six-year-old child who had just awakened his Martial Soul.

"Yes, it really is a huge surprise."

"My grandson Li Fei has the potential to become a Title Douluo!"

Li Yusong straightened his chest and declared proudly.

"Really? Old Li, I never expected you to learn how to joke with your old brothers after going home for a trip."

"How could a Title Douluo be so easy to cultivate? Otherwise, we'd already be one!"

Flender and Zhao Wuji both laughed, thinking that Li Yusong was joking with them.

"Grandpa, keep a low profile," Li Fei reminded him.

He had not expected his grandfather to act like a completely different person from how he was within the family.

"Alright, alright."

"I won't beat around the bush anymore. My grandson's Dragon Pattern Staff underwent a beneficial mutation when it awakened! And he has Innate Full Soul Power!"

"This time, I came to ask you to join me in taking him into the forest to hunt a suitable Soul Beast with dragon bloodline as his first Soul Ring, and to enroll him in Shrek Academy while we're at it."

"So, what do you think? My grandson counts as a monster, right? He meets Shrek's early admission requirements, doesn't he?"

Li Yusong spoke at length.

"What!?"

"A Martial Soul mutation? Innate Full Soul Power!?"

Flender and Zhao Wuji revealed shocked expressions.

"Xiao Fei, let us see your Martial Soul!"

The two of them then turned their gazes toward Li Fei.

Li Fei moved his right hand and summoned a cyan staff.

The moment the staff appeared, the Martial Souls within Flender and Zhao Wuji actually stirred, as though they were afraid.

"What... what is going on!?"

Neither of them understood it. They were both shocked and confused.

Could it be that his Martial Soul was simply too powerful?

In truth, the moment the cyan staff appeared, both of them sensed the terrifying dragon might it possessed. It was absolutely extraordinary!

"Normally, the Dragon Pattern Staff of our lineage is carved with ancient dragon patterns. But my grandson's dragon pattern is incredible. It bears the image of an Eastern Azure Dragon that none of us have ever heard of. Although we have never heard of it, judging by its aura and the nature of the mutation, it is definitely a top-tier dragon pattern!"

"That is why his entire staff is cyan, and its dragon might and intimidating power are incredibly strong!"

"His Innate Full Soul Power also came from the mutation of his Martial Soul."

Li Yusong was even more excited than Li Fei as he hurriedly introduced it.

"What an incredible staff!"

"Anything related to dragons is never simple. I never expected this dragon to be so extraordinary. Old Li, the Li Family's rise is finally in sight!"

"My Shrek Academy has gained another monstrous genius!"

Flender and Zhao Wuji were overjoyed. From their words, it was clear that both of them had approved of Li Fei enrolling as a monster.

"Good. We'll take him to hunt a dragon-type Soul Beast right now." Flender nodded.

"Time waits for no one. Let's set off quickly."

"Alright."

Before leaving, Flender asked the villagers to keep an eye on the academy. There was nothing valuable there anyway.

After making the arrangements, the four of them climbed into a carriage and headed for the Star Dou Forest.

As for the Soul Hunting Forest near Suotuo City, it was not easy at all to find a Soul Beast with dragon bloodline there. If Li Yusong had been alone, he could only have taken Li Fei in and relied on luck.

But now that two Soul Saints were with them, there was no need to go there. Naturally, they would hunt in the Star Dou Forest, the place with the greatest variety of Soul Beasts and the largest area on the continent. They had a far better chance of encountering a dragon bloodline there, and there were quite a few of them!

The journey was not short. The carriage traveled for an entire morning before finally arriving.

The Star Dou Forest was enormous, and many mercenary groups and teams of Soul Masters entered it to hunt.

Those searching for suitable Soul Beasts could find one in a day if they were lucky. If they were unlucky, the search could take months.

"Xiao Fei, how many years do you plan to absorb for your first Soul Ring?" Flender asked.

The four entered the forest. Flender walked in front, Li Yusong on the left, Zhao Wuji at the rear, and Li Fei in the middle.

In the outer regions, they merely released the aura of a Soul Emperor and Soul Saints. Soul Beasts around the hundred-year and thousand-year levels did not dare approach, making the journey quite safe.

Moreover, Soul Beasts that had reached ten thousand years generally would not come to the outer regions, because there was nothing there suitable for them.

They were also very far away.

Li Fei clenched his fist, pondered for a moment, and voiced his opinion. "Because of my Martial Soul's mutation, the Eastern Azure Dragon pattern has transformed my body. I am no longer what I used to be. I think I can absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring as my first."

"A thousand-year first ring?"

"Throughout the history of the Soul Master world, no one has ever done that. Some people tried to force it before, but the energy impact made them explode and die."

"It's too dangerous. We should lower the age limit a little. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. If you die, then it will truly be over."

Flender and Zhao Wuji were startled. They felt that this plan was not viable.

They were unwilling to watch a genius with the potential to become a Title Douluo perish like this.

How fulfilling would it be to raise a Title Douluo from childhood? In the future, they could brag about it to the heavens, and no one would be able to refute them.

Because no one else had done it.

Only they would have accomplished it.

Li Yusong spoke up. "My grandson is different from ordinary people. He is a true monster and cannot be compared to ordinary Soul Masters. Conservatively speaking, Xiao Fei's physical strength has already reached the level of an advanced Soul Elder and is very close to a Soul Ancestor. I believe he can do it."

Li Fei was somewhat surprised to hear this. He had thought his grandfather would refuse him just like Flender and Zhao Wuji.

If there was truly no other choice, then he could only absorb a hundred-year ring.

There would still be time to find a way to increase his Soul Ring age in the future.

Flender and Zhao Wuji grabbed Li Fei's arms and examined them. They too revealed shocked expressions. "Damn, it really is true. Is this really a six-year-old child?"

"I have a friend who said that the highest limit for a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is four hundred and twenty-three years, while the second Soul Ring is seven hundred and sixty-four years. A thousand years is the absorption standard for Soul Elders."

"However, your physical condition truly can withstand a thousand-year Soul Ring."

Flender spoke.

"Uncle Flender, I will break your friend's theory."

Li Fei said calmly, "For my first Soul Ring, I will absorb a thousand-year one. If I die, that will be on me. It has nothing to do with you."

He knew that the person Flender was referring to was that useless Yu Xiaogang.

That man did not have a good reputation.

As a transmigrator, Li Fei inexplicably felt a strong aversion toward him.

He was clearly just useless. Even his knowledge had been stolen from Spirit Hall, yet after organizing it slightly, he claimed it as his own. He was clearly a useless man unable to break through level thirty, yet he went around lecturing everyone as if he were so impressive, as if the world could not turn without him.
