On the carriage
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing sat facing each other, holding each other's hands.
At the same time, the Soul Power within their bodies circulated.
"Th-this is the cultivation method they were talking about."
Oscar leaned closer, looking at the two of them as he curiously asked.
Flender was unusually generous this time, actually letting them ride in a carriage.
Under normal circumstances, that would have been unthinkable.
As a result, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were able to cultivate in front of everyone.
And since they did not need to walk, everyone else gathered around to watch.
"It looks pretty interesting."
Ma Hongjun chewed on food he had gotten from who knew where as he spoke.
"Yeah, but then again..."
Ning Rongrong suddenly had a question. "Since Dai Mubai is already level 40, why is he still cultivating? Wouldn't it be better for him to rest properly and save his strength for Soul Hunting?"
"Soul Power can actually be stored."
Tang San shook his head and explained it to Ning Rongrong.
"Once he obtains a Soul Ring, that stored Soul Power can help him achieve a Level Up faster."
Tang San's words brought everyone to a sudden realization.
So that was how it worked.
Tang San himself, however, fell into deep thought.
How did Dai Mubai know about this?
Could Dai Mubai also have someone as formidable as Teacher guiding him?
Or was Dai Mubai simply that diligent?
Tang San could not figure it out.
Of course, before he could work it out, a rough voice rang out.
"Alright, alright, what are you staring at? This is someone else's Unique Cultivation Method, so stop peeking."
Zhao Wuji gestured for everyone to turn around. "Besides, even if you watched, you wouldn't be able to learn it. Why keep staring at them?"
As Zhao Wuji spoke, everyone turned around.
Indeed, they could not learn Dai Mubai's method.
Zhao Wuji, meanwhile, secretly muttered to himself.
Dai Mubai had really changed a lot lately.
He had such a unique cultivation method.
More importantly, Dai Mubai was much more diligent than before.
At this rate, in another twenty years...
Would Dai Mubai not surpass him?
It seemed he would have to be a little more polite to Dai Mubai in the future.
As the group entered the Star Dou Forest, Dai Mubai became vigilant.
According to the original plot, after entering the Star Dou Forest, they would attract the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape, from the core region because of Xiao Wu.
They would then suffer an attack from a Soul Beast.
"Zhuqing, stay close to me."
Dai Mubai tightened his hold on Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
He wanted to prevent Zhu Zhuqing from getting hurt later.
Entering the Star Dou Forest...
Was still quite exciting.
After all, aside from encountering a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast...
He could also obtain his Fourth Soul Ring.
By then, he would not merely reach the Soul Ancestor realm.
More importantly, he could obtain a new Hextech!
"Alright, this is a dangerous area. We'll proceed according to our assigned roles!"
Zhao Wuji spoke in a somewhat grave voice.
Just moments ago, they had already encountered Meng Yiran's group.
And just as in the original story, Oscar had obtained his Third Soul Ring.
The Soul Ring of a Thousand-Year Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake.
It was worth mentioning that when they encountered Meng Yiran, it was not Tang San who fought her, but Dai Mubai, who had stepped forward.
Dai Mubai said that he had the highest cultivation among the students of Shrek Academy, so when trouble arose, it was naturally his responsibility to handle it.
He then defeated Meng Yiran and won the Soul Ring for Oscar.
And the reason Zhao Wuji looked so serious now was...
They were about to head deeper into the Star Dou Forest, into an even more dangerous region.
To obtain a Soul Ring for Dai Mubai!
The Soul Ring Dai Mubai needed should be between three thousand and five thousand years old.
That meant entering the territory of Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
It was easy to encounter danger there.
If they encountered a Soul Beast over five thousand years old, even Zhao Wuji would be unable to kill it instantly.
A moment of carelessness could even result in the students getting injured.
"Alright."
Zhu Zhuqing swiftly flipped up into a tree to survey the surroundings.
Tang San also walked at the front, keeping watch.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
Then, suddenly, Ning Rongrong began edging closer to Dai Mubai.
As a Support System Soul Master, Ning Rongrong did not really have any assigned task to begin with.
At that moment, she suddenly sidled up to Dai Mubai. "Dai Mubai, how did you win Zhu Zhuqing over? Xiao Wu told me before that you went to get a room with a pair of Twins. Is that really true?"
"And Zhuqing could put up with that?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Dai Mubai with a face full of curiosity.
"Yeah, yeah. After everything you did, Zhuqing could still put up with it. Do you have some kind of magic power?"
Hearing that, Xiao Wu hurried over as well and looked at Dai Mubai.
She was also very curious. Dai Mubai had gone that far—was Zhu Zhuqing one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
"What? Where are these Twins?"
Ma Hongjun sidled up to Dai Mubai with a lecherous look on his face. "Wow, Boss Dai, are we even brothers? You didn't invite me?"
Although Oscar also wanted to ask, he glanced at Ning Rongrong from afar and ultimately did not have the nerve to ask about the Twins.
"Exactly, Boss Dai. Isn't what you did a little unfair to Zhu Zhuqing?"
Hearing everyone's questions, Dai Mubai shook his head and forcefully pushed away Ma Hongjun, who was pressing himself against him.
Then he put on a cool act and said, "Of course, it was all because of love."
"Tch~"
Dai Mubai's words immediately earned a round of eye-rolls.
"What era is this? You're still talking about love."
Ma Hongjun was much more blunt.
"I believe in love, but between you and Zhu Zhuqing..."
Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with disdain.
Dai Mubai was truly impressive.
But he was also truly a scumbag.
"Wow, then Zhuqing really is generous."
Ning Rongrong's eyes spun as though she had come up with an idea.
Then she deliberately moved closer to Dai Mubai. "Then... since Zhuqing is so generous, she probably won't mind if there's one more person by your side, right?"
