The broad streets of Shrek Academy were bustling with people.
Most of them were freshmen. Although they had seniors leading the way, each one looked like a curious baby, craning their necks and peering around, filled with wonder for the number one academy on the Douluo Continent.
Chu Feng and his two companions walked down the street. The combined attractiveness of the three of them could rival half the freshman class, and they drew countless gazes as they passed.
Chu Feng and Xiao Xiao walked in front, chatting and laughing.
Wang Dong followed behind them with his hands in his pockets, looking like a disgruntled punching bag, the intense resentment in her beautiful eyes almost taking physical form.
"Let's go eat outside; the school cafeteria is too crude," Chu Feng suggested.
"Good idea! The food in the school cafeteria is truly hard to describe, though the soul beast meat there is something you can't easily buy outside," Xiao Xiao said with a smile, sticking out her little tongue.
She had been to the school cafeteria; it didn't even have tables or chairs, and you basically had to bring your own lunchbox to get food, which left her speechless. However, it wasn't entirely without merit; at least the various types of soul beast meat provided significant benefits for a soul master's cultivation.
An ordinary Soul Master Academy simply couldn't provide so much soul beast flesh, but Shrek had the capital to do so. However, to preserve as much of the energy in the soul beast meat as possible, the preparation was extremely simple. Being able to eat soul beast meat with a bland flavor was already quite good; most of it was served in its original state, carrying a thick, fishy stench that most people really couldn't stomach.
"Let's go then. But I'm not familiar with Shrek City, so Xiao Xiao, you lead the way. It looks like you arrived a few days earlier than us," Chu Feng said, nodding toward her.
"Sure thing~" Xiao Xiao was naturally very happy to oblige.
Xiao Xiao was truly a little foodie; before long, she led Chu Feng and Wang Dong to a barbecue restaurant that was doing a roaring trade.
The group found a seat, and Xiao Xiao said mysteriously, "I'll tell you guys a secret: the barbecue at this place isn't just delicious, it's also made from the meat of very rare soul beasts. You're definitely going to love it."
"Soul beast meat? That sounds pretty good~" Chu Feng nodded upon hearing this, feeling a bit expectant. After all, the soul beast meat found outside was completely different from what was served at Shrek.
Shrek focused on energy, whereas the soul beast meat here prioritized taste. The types of soul beasts also differed, but regardless, being able to eat soul beast meat outside was a rare treat.
Don't let the fact that everyone at Shrek Academy is like a dragon fool you; soul masters remained a very rare and noble profession in the outside world. High-level soul masters couldn't be bothered to hunt for money, and low-level soul masters who wanted to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt—even for century-level soul beasts—had to take immense risks. This was why soul beast meat was so rare and precious outside.
"By the way, Chu Feng, what is your martial soul? I saw your battle with Wang Dong; your Ice Whip is so powerful~" Taking advantage of the wait, Xiao Xiao looked at Chu Feng with stars in her eyes, very curious about his martial soul.
Although asking about someone else's martial soul was considered impolite, they were classmates now, and she would find out sooner or later.
When Wang Dong heard Xiao Xiao bring this up, her expression soured. After all, it made her recall the fear of being dominated by Chu Feng... and... it was just too damn shameful...
Although she pretended not to be interested, she pricked up her ears. In her heart, she was actually itching to know what Chu Feng's martial soul was.
She even suspected that Chu Feng had Twin Martial Souls. After all, the first time he released his soul rings, he used a mental-type soul skill, but the second time, it was ice-attributed. With such a massive gap in attributes, it was hard for a single martial soul to achieve that.
"My martial soul is my body—it is me."
"I have two soul rings. One soul skill is a mental attack, and the other is for physical enhancement."
"As for the ice-attributed attacks you saw... that's not easy to explain."
Chu Feng smiled faintly. He didn't bother with any secretive or evasive nonsense; they would be teammates from now on, and they would find out eventually.
As for the Mystic Ice Art, it was indeed difficult to explain. He didn't trust Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong enough yet. Even though it was the most basic technique among the ones he practiced, if word got out, it would surely overturn the entire cultivation system of the Douluo Continent.
After all, a single technique was equivalent to a martial soul, and it had almost no threshold for practice. Ordinary people could practice it and possess the power of a soul master. Such a treasure—let alone a 99th-level Limit Douluo, even a God King like Tang San would turn green with envy if he saw it. This was no joke.
"Tch, stingy. What's there to keep secret?" Wang Dong curled her lips in disdain, but inside, she was shocked beyond measure...
After all, she hadn't expected Chu Feng to have a Body Martial Soul. She had heard of such martial souls; they were extremely rare.
Moreover, most Body Martial Souls were just a single organ, such as the eyes, arms, legs, or kidneys. But Chu Feng's martial soul was his entire body, which meant that every time he absorbed a soul ring, his body would receive a massive boost. That was likely why he was so formidable.
Of course, she was even more curious about his second martial soul...
"A Body Martial Soul? Sounds amazing; I've never heard of it before~" After hearing this, Xiao Xiao looked at Chu Feng with eyes full of curiosity, her reaction the exact opposite of Wang Dong's. After all, it was her first time hearing of such a magical martial soul.
"What is your martial soul? What makes you think you're qualified to team up with us?" Wang Dong suddenly looked up at Xiao Xiao and asked with a frown.
For some reason, she just didn't like this little loli. It was one thing that she interrupted her during the fight, but she also kept picking at her scars—it was truly detestable.
Xiao Xiao didn't get angry at all upon hearing this. Instead, she extended two slender, jade-like fingers and smiled: "I also have Twin Martial Souls. My first martial soul is the 'Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron', which should count as a control type. As for my second martial soul..."
Xiao Xiao glanced at Chu Feng and smiled mysteriously: "I'll keep the second one a secret for now~"
"You're a control type, and Wang Dong is a power attack type. You should both have the ability to protect yourselves and won't be killed instantly, so teaming up is feasible," Chu Feng said, nodding.
"What are you best at, Chu Feng?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously. She only knew that Chu Feng had mental attack and physical enhancement abilities. Did that count as control or power attack?
"Me?" Chu Feng paused for a moment before saying, "I'm invincible. You don't need to worry about me."
Wang Dong: ?
Xiao Xiao: !!
The two were left speechless in unison.
"Arrogant jerk..." Wang Dong muttered under her breath.
"Who knows? Anyway, there are still three months until the Freshman Assessment. There's plenty of time to see what you're capable of, Chu Feng~" Although Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised by Chu Feng's answer, she didn't say much else, becoming even more curious about him instead.
