At the gates of Shrek City.
Having procured sufficient supplies, Xiao Xiao and her group had assembled.
' Xuan Zi ' squinted, took a sip of the wine from his gourd, and said sleepily, "Today, you will each go out on your own to find a suitable Soul Beast. I will not intervene unless we encounter a life-or-death crisis. Of course, if I do intervene, I will deduct ten points from each of your assessment scores."
" Xuan Zi " spoke calmly, but there was a hint of threat in his words, "You all know what the consequences will be. Alright, let's set off now for the Star Dou Great Forest."
After giving his instructions, Xuan Zi vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.
Huo Yuhao watched all this with boredom and yawned. In a corner where no one was paying attention, ' Xuan Zi's' body instantly dissipated and transformed into a sphere of Spiritual Power, merging into Huo Yuhao's body.
Now, he has made ample preparations, and protecting Xiao Xiao and the others is no problem at all.
The words ' Xuan Zi ' just said were only to raise Xiao Xiao and the others' vigilance, after all, he had important things to do after they finished absorbing their Soul Ring.
Wang Dong'er glanced at Huo Yuhao and the others, then stepped forward, arrogantly raising her head and declaring, "From now on, I'll be the team leader. Anyone have any objections?!"
Xiao Xiao shrugged helplessly, quietly took Huo Yuhao's hand, and said, "No."
Ning Tian and Wu Feng naturally had no interest in being the leader, and gestured for Wang Dong'er to do as she pleased.
Immediately, Wang Dong'er took the lead and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
Along the way, the group once again explained their Soul Skill and Martial Soul abilities.
After two months of fighting together, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian have gained a fairly good understanding of each other.
I'm saying it again now so that Huo Yuhao can understand their abilities and cooperate with them better.
Huo Yuhao's return filled the empty hearts of the women completely, and almost everyone was playfully heading to the Star Dou Great Forest.
They didn't know how much time had passed, but the outer outline of the Star Dou Great Forest gradually came into view.
In the distance, the boundless, dense forest was already visible, and Huo Yuhao saw the warning signs he had seen before once again.
Huo Yuhao gazed at the vast forest, his Spirit Eyes activating silently. In an instant, terrifying Spiritual Power covered a large area of the forest in front of him.
He instantly took in the movements and postures of all the Soul Beast in the forest.
What Huo Yuhao needs to do now is to find the most suitable Soul Ring for the women as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to go to the core area.
Xiao Xiao tugged at Huo Yuhao, who was standing still, and asked worriedly, " Yuhao? Are you alright? Are you too tired? Do you want to rest?"
Wu Feng hesitated for a moment, then, encouraged by Ning Tian, walked to Huo Yuhao's side with a slightly flushed face and asked, " Huo Yuhao, are you... feeling better?"
Wang Dong'er looked at the two women and realized there was no place for her. She wanted to say something, but Huo Yuhao interrupted her first.
Huo Yuhao waved to indicate that he was alright, then walked to the front of the group and said, "I've found a few suitable Soul Beast for everyone, please follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao activated his Spiritual Detection Sharing, and every movement within a hundred-meter radius centered on Huo Yuhao entered everyone's minds.
Wu Feng and Ning Tian were startled by the scene that suddenly appeared in their minds, and couldn't help but widen their eyes to look at Huo Yuhao.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er were already used to this situation, having experienced it before.
Without realizing it, Wu Feng walked over to Huo Yuhao, grabbed his arm, and shook it slightly. His eyes widened, and he asked curiously, almost teasingly, " Yuhao ~ your Soul Skill is so special..."
Ning Tian looked at Wu Feng with some shock, as this was the first time she had ever seen Wu Feng make such an expression.
Is this the unnatural, genuine emotion that a young girl in the throes of first love would reveal?
Ning Tian didn't dwell on it further, but was equally curious about why Huo Yuhao possessed such a miraculous skill.
Wang Dong'er, standing to the side, spoke first to explain for Huo Yuhao, "This is Yuhao's Soul Skill, called Spiritual Detection Sharing. It's Soul Skill that combines Spiritual Power with Soul Power. In the freshman competition, our team won the final championship thanks to Yuhao's skill!"
After saying this, Wang Dong'er proudly raised her head, revealing her fair Swan neck.
"Oh, Huo Yuhao, so you had this trick up your sleeve all along! I was wondering why my attacks were always cleverly blocked back then."
Everyone says you're the mascot, but it turns out you're the team's ace, the core of the team!
Wu Feng suddenly realized, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes again. He realized that he had not yet truly understood Huo Yuhao.
Thinking of this, her admiration grew even stronger, and her gaze towards Huo Yuhao became slightly languid.
Seeing Wu Feng's expression, Xiao Xiao pouted and quickly walked to Huo Yuhao's side, clearly a little jealous.
As Ning Tian listened to Wang Dong'er's account, he also carefully recalled the situation when he fought against Huo Yuhao and his team.
Back then, he and Wu Feng were almost completely suppressed by Wang Dong'er and were directly eliminated from the game.
No wonder those Light of the Butterfly God seemed to have a tracking function, hitting all three of them at the same time.
It turns out that all of this was thanks to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao didn't speak, but instead strode into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing Huo Yuhao wave, the women crowded around and followed him closely.
The three-dimensional images kept appearing in everyone's minds, even the color and veins of the leaves were crystal clear.
Several Soul Beast, each with a strength of around one hundred years, watched them advance, seemingly sensing boundless fear.
With a whoosh, they scattered and ran off, not daring to linger in their positions.
Huo Yuhao exuded an invisible pressure, which naturally deterred the sensitive Soul Beast from approaching.
Xiao Xiao and the others were somewhat puzzled by the fact that the Soul Beast wasn't attacking them, but this saved them a lot of trouble, so they didn't dwell on it.
With the help of Huo Yuhao's unique aura and the Spiritual Detection Sharing, the five of them walked for about half an hour before finally stopping.
Guided by Huo Yuhao's spirit, the images in everyone's minds magnified directly forward.
About 500 meters directly in front of them was a calm pond.
The water was perfectly calm, but there wasn't a single Soul Beast drinking water around it, as the image zoomed in again.
Only then did they notice a strange, large bird in the middle of the pond.
The large bird's feathers were gray yet shimmered with an eerie luster, possessing a metallic quality. Under the sunlight, they radiated light continuously, as if this Soul Beast were made of steel.
