"You know how troublesome kids are when they're full of energy. They're always getting into trouble."
"But you have to find the right method. Walk him every day and drain all that energy."
"With these past few days of Gravity Special Training, plus high-intensity combat, even if he's an Evil Fire Phoenix, he's exhausted like a dead pig by now."
"At a time like this, other than sleeping, how would he have the energy to think about any evil fire?"
To put it bluntly, Ma Hongjun just had too much free time!
Flender's mouth fell open as he stared blankly at Lin Chuan.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
He had agonized over Ma Hongjun's evil fire for so many years, yet Lin Chuan had solved it with a single energy-draining method?
Over the following days, Shrek Academy settled into an efficient rhythm.
During the day, Lin Chuan led everyone through all kinds of varied skill training;
At night, they went to the Soul Fighting Arena to level up through fights, but only fought once a day to avoid getting injured.
Under this relentless high-intensity pressure, everyone's potential was frantically unleashed.
Before long, good news arrived one after another.
"I broke through!"
Oscar hugged his Big Sausage Martial Soul, tears of excitement welling up in his eyes.
"Level thirty! Daddy is finally a Soul Elder too!"
Immediately afterward, Xiao Wu raised her hand, her pretty face slightly flushed. "Brother, Teacher Lin, I'm level thirty too."
At once, all of Shrek erupted.
Two twelve- or thirteen-year-old level-thirty Soul Elders!
And two of them had appeared at once!
Together with Lin Chuan and Tang San, who had already reached level thirty.
It was simply a miracle!
Who would believe it if they heard about it?!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Flender was so excited that he said "good" three times in a row. His profiteer's face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
"Since that's the case, we can't delay."
"Tomorrow morning, we'll head to the Star Dou Great Forest and help the four of you obtain your third Spirit Rings!"
Flender waved his hand grandly.
"Zhao Wuji, you're coming too!"
"With us two old fellows leading the team ourselves, I refuse to believe anything can go wrong!"
Zhao Wuji smiled.
He had practiced gravity every day lately. It was time for the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Forest to learn who the real boss was!
That night.
Inside the dormitory, Oscar was wide awake.
He asked excitedly,
"Tang San, we're going to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. What kind of Spirit Ring do you think I should look for as my third one?"
Tang San had just finished a circulation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
He smiled.
"Your first Spirit Ring is for recovery, and your second is for detoxification."
"So your third Spirit Ring should add an entirely new support effect, such as enhancement or defense."
"The key lies in the Spirit Ring's age and compatibility."
The two were chatting enthusiastically.
Oscar's eyes suddenly shifted, and he looked toward the quietest bed in the corner of the dormitory.
"Hey, Xiao San, stop talking to a half-baked guy like me. We should ask an expert!"
He winked at Tang San on the upper bunk.
Then he carefully looked toward Lin Chuan.
"Teacher Lin, ahem, Brother, with your insight, what ability would be most useful for my third Spirit Ring?"
From the darkness came a lazy voice.
"Flight."
The answer was concise, without a single unnecessary explanation.
"Flight?"
Oscar and Tang San both froze.
Oscar was especially dumbfounded. He muttered,
"A flight ability? How is that possible? My Martial Soul is a sausage. Am I supposed to grow wings or something?"
"I can't possibly make a Flying Big Sausage and ride it through the sky, can I? That would be way too obscene."
Riding a giant sausage as it twisted and turned through the sky?
What a beautiful image!
Tang San also sank into thought.
The ability to fly was something every Spirit Master dreamed of.
Especially for a support-type Spirit Master like Oscar.
Having the ability to fly meant possessing unparalleled survival capability and strategic mobility.
But just as Oscar had said, how could a food-type Martial Soul gain a flight ability?
It was simply absurd.
Lin Chuan said nothing more, as if he had only been talking in his sleep.
Yet Oscar and Tang San could no longer fall asleep.
One fantasized about owning a flying sausage.
The other pondered the meaning behind Lin Chuan's words.
The next day, at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The group entered the vast primeval forest in grand procession.
Zhao Wuji walked at the very front of the group.
Every step he took carried a fierce, powerful gust.
After being tempered by Lin Chuan's freakish gravity method, he felt that his gravity soul skill had undergone a qualitative leap.
Now, he could use it as easily as moving his own arm.
Yet after half a day without finding a suitable Soul Beast, he was feeling a little frustrated.
Just then, a clear cry rang out from the treetops not far away.
Everyone looked up and saw a brightly colored giant snake coiled atop a huge tree.
Its body was covered in several wounds.
A bright red fleshy crest like a phoenix tail grew from its head, and it flicked its tongue out warily.
"Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent!"
Flender's eyes lit up.
"It's probably around thirteen hundred years old."
"Little Ao, this is an excellent Spirit Ring choice!"
Before anyone could react.
The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent seemed to sense danger. With a flick of its tail, it shot toward the depths of the forest.
"Trying to run?"
Zhao Wuji snorted and waved his hand.
"Gravity Enhancement!"
The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's gravity suddenly increased, and its speed plummeted.
Zhao Wuji gave it no time to adjust.
He pressed his hand down again.
"Gravity Squeeze!"
The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent let out a pained cry in the next instant and was forcibly pinned to the ground, unable to move.
"Beautiful!" Flender clapped in praise.
That effortless control was more than a level stronger than before.
Zhao Wuji cast a smug glance at Lin Chuan in the rear of the group and thought to himself,
This kid's training method really damn well works!
"Oscar!" Lin Chuan called out.
"I'm on it!"
Oscar excitedly pulled out a short blade.
He cleanly and decisively ended its life.
A purple Millennium Spirit Ring slowly rose into the air.
Oscar eagerly sat cross-legged and began absorbing it.
The process went unexpectedly smoothly.
Lin Chuan's special training had not only strengthened their bodies, but also honed their spiritual power.
In less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, Oscar suddenly opened his eyes.
A powerful wave of Soul Power spread outward from him.
He had succeeded!
"Little Ao, quick! What is your third soul skill?"
Ma Hongjun rushed over and asked eagerly.
Though Oscar was delighted, his expression was also a little strange.
He glanced at Lin Chuan.
Then he flipped his right hand over. "Daddy Has a Mushroom Sausage!"
A peculiar sausage appeared in his hand.
Everyone looked at one another. A Mushroom Sausage?
What kind of effect was that? Did eating it cause hallucinations?
Oscar tossed the Mushroom Sausage to Ma Hongjun. "Fatty, eat it!"
Ma Hongjun swallowed it in one bite and smacked his lips. "It tastes all right. Kind of like shiitake mushrooms. So what now?"
Oscar said, "Now, you can fly! The effect is Rapid Flight, lasting one minute!"
"What? Fly?"
Before Ma Hongjun could react, his whole body shot into the sky with a whoosh.
He screamed in fright, flailing wildly in midair like a fat chicken that had been thrown into the heavens.
The entire area fell silent.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Ma Hongjun flying wildly through the air.
Flight!
It really was flight!
Oscar's third Spirit Ring had truly granted him a flight ability!
Everyone looked at the young man in the group who still had a blade of Blue Silver Grass in his mouth, his expression calm and unruffled.
Oscar had jokingly said that Teacher Lin Chuan claimed he could gain a flight ability.
And it had really come true.
Could Teacher Lin Chuan truly be a prophet?
Tang San was dumbfounded as well. How had Brother done this?
Xiao Wu looked at Lin Chuan, her lively eyes filled with curiosity.
A bold thought grew increasingly clear in her heart.
Brother Lin Chuan was definitely not an ordinary human!
His insight into Soul Beast abilities, and his luck in drawing specific Soul Beasts right to him.
There was only one possibility: like her, Lin Chuan was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form!
He might even be an Auspicious Beast!
Just as everyone was immersed in their immense shock.
Two figures slowly emerged from the forest.
