A gentle evening breeze blew, Somersault Cloud hovered steadily in mid-air.
Zhu Zhuqing leaned gently on Lu Yu's shoulder, closed her eyes, and enjoyed this rare moment of peace, her expression tender.
Lu Yu frowned slightly, secretly making plans in her mind.
In the original novel, shortly after Tang San entered Shrek, Oscar broke through level 30 and went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Ring.
But now the whole plot is messed up.
Oscar wasn't at the academy, Tang San's Soul Power was only level 27, which deviated too much from the original storyline.
Lu Yu didn't know how many days later he would go to the Star Dou Great Forest; he was afraid that if he went too late, he would miss the Eight Spider Lances.
Lu Yu's heart sank deeper and deeper into thought.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Zhuqing keenly sensed that Lu Yu's mood was off and looked up at him.
Lu Yu snapped out of her daze and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, asking, "How much longer until you reach level 30?"
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, "About ten days."
Lu Yu nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, a delicate wooden box appeared in his palm. He opened the box and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.
Upon seeing what it was, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and looked at Lu Yu strangely.
"This is Whale Rubber? You don't seem to need this stuff, why did you buy it?"
Lu Yu smiled slightly, "The aphrodisiac effect is just a side effect of Whale Rubber. Its greatest benefit is that it can enhance Soul Master's physique and increase the time it can absorb Soul Ring."
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback, her small face full of doubt. With his status, he had naturally heard of Whale Rubber. So many people had used it and hadn't found it could temper the body. How could you be so sure?
"Give it a try, I'm here anyway!" Lu Yu grinned mischievously, wanting to tease Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing blushed, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and softly hummed in agreement.
Over the past few minutes, Lu Yu handed the Whale Rubber, which he had melted with his Soul Power, to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Alright, eat it. It smells very fishy, but just bear with it!"
Looking at the brownish-yellow gelatinous substance in the bowl, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, took the bowl, tilted her head back, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Zhu Zhuqing blinked, perhaps influenced by the cat-like Martial Soul, he felt it wasn't as bad as Lu Yu had said.
In a moment, Zhu Zhuqing shuddered, her entire face turning bright red, like a boiled shrimp.
The heat emanating from her body made Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously hug Lu Yu.
"I'm so hot~"
Lu Yu quickly pushed Zhu Zhuqing away, her eyes devoid of any desire, and said in a serious tone, "Quickly sit cross-legged and begin the meditation to refine this medicinal power."
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was still in a daze, Lu Yu took out a bag of water and splashed it directly on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
The sudden coolness on her face cleared Zhu Zhuqing's mind somewhat, and seeing this, Lu Yu quickly spoke up:
"Quickly activate your meditation technique to refine the medicinal effects."
Zhu Zhuqing gave a shy, soft "hmm," then sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, completely immersed in cultivation.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's skin growing increasingly red, Lu Yu controlled the Somersault Cloud to fly upwards, and the surrounding temperature also dropped, the cold outside reducing the internal heat in Zhu Zhuqing's body somewhat.
After an incense stick's time, a soft buzzing sound emanated from Zhu Zhuqing's body, indicating that she had broken through the bottleneck of level 30.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes, her face filled with disbelief. It was originally expected that it would take her more than ten days to break through to level 30, but she never expected that a piece of Whale Rubber would allow her to break through.
Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing out and happily hugged Lu Yu, holding her for a while before letting go.
"When should we go hunt for Soul Ring?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"No rush, let's refine a few more pieces of Whale Rubber before we go. That way we can absorb higher-level Soul Ring. Absorbing Soul Ring of higher levels will greatly increase your Soul Power," Lu Yu said, waving his hand.
Time flies, and two days passed quickly.
Lu Yu felt that it should be around this time. That morning, Lu Yu approached Flender and told him that Zhu Zhuqing had reached level 30 and that he would take her to hunt for Soul Ring.
Flender thought for a moment, and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to let these little guys get some experience, so he asked Zhao Wuji to lead the team to Soul Hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The group packed up and set off.
Team members: Zhao Wuji, Lu Yu, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun.
Dai Mubai is still bedridden and unable to get out of bed. The reason is that Flender couldn't bear to part with him and had to ask a healing Soul Master.
Lu Yu was worried the whole way, afraid of missing this opportunity. He had been searching for a Mirror Shadow Beast for two years without success.
Not to mention that this item belongs to Tang San, the chosen one of destiny; to obtain it, one would have to openly steal it from Tang San.
Lu Yu didn't want to gamble with her luck again.
They traveled in silence and soon arrived at the inn outside the Star Dou Great Forest, the one from the original story.
Upon seeing the outline of the inn in the distance, Lu Yu couldn't wait to leave the group and run into the inn, where she saw a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old children dressed in the same uniform sitting inside.
A smile appeared on Lu Yu's face, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart. He let out a long breath.
"Phew~ Thank goodness! I made it in time."
The rest of the plot is self-explanatory; Shrek's classic saying is, " Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble is not a good Soul Master."
The fatso went to harass the female students of the Blue Sunshine Academy again, but this time no one helped Ma Hongjun. Lu Yu couldn't even be bothered to look at such a lustful person.
Lu Yu didn't move, Zhu Zhuqing didn't move either, and Tang San didn't make a move either when he saw that Lu Yu wasn't going to make a move. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who already looked down on Ma Hongjun, were even less likely to make a move.
"What... what do you want? Let me tell you, my teacher is Soul Saint! You dare to hit me? Aren't you afraid of my teacher's revenge?"
Surrounded by people from the Blue Sunshine Academy, Ma Hongjun's legs trembled uncontrollably as he looked at Lu Yu and the others for help.
Lu Yu acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and continued eating with her head down.
As a result, Ma Hongjun was brutally beaten by the people from the Blue Sunshine Academy, ending up lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.
However, it seemed as if the people from the Blue Sunshine Academy were destined for this calamity; after beating Ma Hongjun, a foul-mouthed person appeared.
"Pah! What Shrek? They're just a bunch of dead bodies! They don't even dare to utter a sound when their comrades get beaten up!"
Lu Yu Lu Yu smiled. What did it matter to him if Shrek's reputation was ruined? He couldn't be happier if it were.
But when this person saw that Lu Yu was actually smiling, he turned his anger on Lu Yu and started cursing.
"You can still laugh? A piece of trash like you would only dare to hide behind someone with your tail between your legs when you see your classmate being beaten. You dare to call yourself Soul Master?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face immediately darkened. She tilted her head and looked at Tang San opposite her. Tang San immediately understood and pulled Xiao Wu down from the table to stand aside.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ning Rongrong quickly took two steps back.
"Hey~ Judging by your attitude, you're not happy about it? Fine, then shut up!"
The students from the Blue Sunshine Academy burst into laughter, looking at Lu Yu with disdain.
boom--
Lu Yu flipped the table and kicked it. Several people from the Blue Sunshine Academy were sent flying before they could react.
"You little brat, you're asking for it!"
Those who weren't knocked away stared coldly at Lu Yu Lu Yu, summoned their Martial Soul, and charged towards him.
The others behind him were about to attack at once, but Lu Yu raised his hand to stop them, twisted his neck, and unleashed two powerful palm strikes, " Flying Dragon in the Heavens."
Instantly, the students from the Blue Sunshine Academy collapsed to the ground in disarray.
Just then, a Soul King's aura enveloped Lu Yu. Old Turtle, the teacher leading the team from the Blue Sunshine Academy, arrived.
Lu Yu turned around and looked, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up. These past few days he had been worried about the Eight Spider Lances, and his mood was extremely depressed. That old bastard was practically pointing a gun at him.
Zhao Wuji on the second floor saw this, but he didn't rush to make a move. He wanted to see Lu Yu suffer a setback before making Lu Yu beg him to help.
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking backfired.
Without saying a word, Lu Yu went up and fired two Rasengan, making this old bastard cosplay as a spinning top.
