Star Dou Forest

But with such a huge move, there was bound to be a follow-up. They had to be careful!

"What? A super Martial Soul far surpassing the Explosive Bear Clan?"

"And innate Soul Power at level twenty?"

"How was that possible?"

Inside Ji Changying's room, her three sons were stunned. If Ji Changying had not told them herself, they never would have believed it.

It took the three of them quite a while to recover from their shock.

Third Young Master Wang Tian was seven years old. His Martial Soul had awakened only a year ago, and he looked thoroughly displeased. "Damn, that's too discouraging. I've cultivated day and night just to obtain my first spirit ring. But him? He hasn't even done anything yet! He can directly get two spirit rings."

Eldest Young Master Wang Feng frowned, looking impatient. "Quit being jealous and start thinking about how to deal with Wang Sheng! The position of clan chief cannot be handed over to an outsider."

Second Young Master Wang Qiang had a sinister expression, and a trace of brutality flashed through his eyes. "That's right. The position of clan chief must go to one of us three brothers. Whoever dares stand in our way will be eliminated."

"Hehe, you make it sound easy. Wang Sheng is so outstanding; it won't be easy to make a move against him!"

"Exactly. If we touch a genius like that, even as young clan chiefs, we might have to pay with our lives!"

Seeing his younger brother and elder brother looking conflicted, second young master Wang Qiang sneered. "What are you worried about? Mother has probably already made arrangements."

Ji Changying looked at second young master Wang Qiang, a faint smile appearing on her face. Of her three sons, Wang Qiang was the one she found most satisfactory. Not only was his talent strong, but he was also quick-witted—a man of both courage and cunning.

"Enough. You don't need to concern yourselves with this matter. You have a task now: win Wang Dong'er over. Let me make this clear first—your three brothers will compete fairly. Whoever wins her heart will become her future husband."

"Wang Dong'er? Elder Xiong's granddaughter? Mother, are you trying to win Elder Xiong over?" Wang Qiang reacted swiftly and immediately guessed part of Ji Changying's intentions.

"Win him over? I already succeeded today. This is to strengthen the relationship. Of course, it is also because of Wang Dong'er's talent. She has an innate level-nine Explosive Bear Clan Martial Soul, not inferior to any of yours."

"An innate level-nine Explosive Bear Clan Martial Soul?"

Whether it was Wang Feng, Wang Tian, or even the self-assured Wang Qiang, their eyes widened. With such talent, she was indeed qualified to become their wife.

The next day.

Wang Sheng woke from cultivation, a smile flashing across his face. His second divine art, Nine Suns, had also reached perfection in the first level. As long as he obtained spirit rings, both the Marrow Cleansing Sutra and Nine Suns could enter the second level at the same time.

As for the third art, Golden Bell Shield, he did not dare cultivate it yet. He was still too young, and his body had not fully developed. Golden Bell Shield was an external martial art; cultivating it now would be harmful to his body.

Checking the time, he found it was almost time for his appointment with Elder Xiong.

Wang Sheng immediately got up, washed up, and hurried toward the clan gates.

When he arrived at the clan gates, a man in his thirties was already waiting there.

Is this the second person going with me to obtain spirit rings?

The man quickly spotted Wang Sheng and greeted him with a smile. "You must be the freak Wang Sheng!"

"A-a freak?" Wang Sheng looked utterly baffled. Was he insulting me?

"Don't misunderstand. I'm not insulting you. Your talent is simply too strong, so some of the clansmen gave you that nickname. I just blurted it out without thinking. Hahaha!"

"Oh, so that was it. It's fine, Uncle. By the way, what should I call you?"

For some reason, upon hearing this, the man looked somewhat evasive. "Y-you can call me Uncle Hai. After all, I'm of the same generation as your father."

"Hello, Uncle Hai!" Wang Sheng called sweetly.

However, the man's unnatural behavior made Wang Sheng wary. He did not believe that Ji Changying, who had already revealed killing intent, would let him go. Once someone developed killing intent, it was difficult for it to change.

Could this man be Ji Changying's backup plan?

No. With Elder Xiong here, this man can't stir up any trouble at all.

Could it be Elder Xiong?

That's impossible. Elder Xiong is famously upright. Although Ji Changying successfully won him over yesterday, if she truly asked Elder Xiong to do this, he would probably turn against her immediately. Ji Changying should know that as well.

Forget it. If I can't figure it out, I won't dwell on it. As long as I stay beside Elder Xiong at all times, nothing will happen.

Elder Xiong soon arrived as well, and the three of them immediately set off for Star Dou Forest.

Half a month later, the three arrived at Star Dou Forest. Looking at the endless forest stretching before him, Wang Sheng's mouth fell open. He could not help muttering, "It truly deserves to be called the massive forest spanning the borders of both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire!"

Seeing Wang Sheng's expression, Uncle Hai laughed. "Shocked? When I came here for the first time, I was just as shocked as you! But believe me, your shock has only just begun. The forest's various plants and soul beasts will leave you dazzled."

"Really? Then I'm very much looking forward to it!"

"By the way, Xiaohai, tell me about your Martial Soul so I can find you a suitable spirit ring." The only person who could call the thirty-something Uncle Hai Xiaohai was naturally Elder Xiong.

"My Martial Soul is the Spirit Cat! Honestly, I'm already thirty-five, yet I only just broke through level thirty. Compared to Xiaosheng, sigh!"

Neither Wang Sheng nor Elder Xiong replied to Uncle Hai's words, because this was a matter of talent—something that could not be solved at all.

The three soon entered the forest. Not long afterward, however, two people appeared where they had previously stood, sneering in the direction the three had vanished.

"Who would have thought the Explosive Bear Clan would produce such an unparalleled genius? What a pity!"

"Hehe, what kind of damn genius? As long as he hasn't grown up, he's just an ant! Should we take care of that Xiong Changlin too?"

"Don't be ridiculous. He isn't our target. Besides, Xiong Changlin has already been successfully won over by third younger sister. Though he has not become one of her trusted men, he is still half one of our own."

"Fine!"

The two entered the forest and swiftly headed after Wang Sheng's group.

It had to be said that Wang Sheng, entering Star Dou Forest for the first time, truly found himself dazzled, just as Uncle Hai had said.

Bamboo that could whip people, rats suddenly appearing that were bigger than humans, monkeys that could breathe fire... the forest had everything imaginable!

"Watch out!"

Just as Wang Sheng was immersed in the wonders of the forest, a fierce shout came from behind him.
