Heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to Hunt for the Second Batch of Breakthrough Materials

"Let's go, let's start traveling now. We should reach the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest by dawn."

Qian Renxue said.

The groups of people who had separated earlier had gathered behind her, but not everyone had arrived yet.

Qian Daoliu: "After we arrive at the Star Dou Great Forest, we'll wait for the others at the forest's perimeter. Once everyone is there, we'll go in together."

"That place is too big. No one knows for sure what's inside. It's best to be careful."

"That's right. Besides, we don't know the exact areas where those Ferocious Beast are distributed in the forest. We'll inevitably have to split up to search, so it's safer to have more people."

Those who made offerings also began to offer suggestions.

After everyone reached a consensus, they all headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the streets of Heaven Dou City, the people who had been hiding in their houses and corners finally dared to come out.

They looked at each other, bewildered, as the group from Spirit City had left.

"I heard these people just looted the Five Elements Academy and Shrek Academy. That's terrifying..."

What did they steal?

"I want to ask that too! What are they here for? It seems even the Worship Hall and the Pope have been mobilized."

"This has never happened before."

"I heard that some people at the Blazing Fire Academy plucked Huo Wu's hair."

"What the hell? You went to all this trouble just to pull out a few hairs?"

"And there's something even more outrageous. I heard someone went to the Godwind Academy, had Feng Xiaotian blow on a bottle a few times, and then took the bottle away..."

"Puff!"

"Are all these people from Spirit City out of their minds?!"

"But I heard that several ordinary people from Spirit City were able to defeat the dean of the Blazing Fire Academy. Are they out of their minds? What's with that kind of fighting power?"

"Outrageous."

I don't understand.

As the group of people watched them leave, the people discussed amongst themselves, offering various opinions, but no one could give a definitive explanation.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace

He was awakened by the guards on Xue Ye, and after hearing what was happening in the city, he couldn't fall back asleep.

Do you know why?

Xue Ye hurriedly asked.

The guard shook his head. "I don't know. Even the students and teachers in the invaded academy don't know what happened."

"This group took away mostly strange things—scales, hair, breath from their mouths, vines, and the like..."

Xue Ye was completely dumbfounded.

He had expected things to be outrageous, but he hadn't imagined it would be this outrageous.

"Is there anything else strange?"

The guard thought carefully for a moment, then quickly said, "Yes! Their abilities are all very strange. Their Martial Soul seem to have mutated; each person possesses several human-shaped Martial Soul. That's what the people in the academy say."

"Is everyone like this?"

Xue Ye asked in surprise.

"Right!"

"My God, what on earth is going on?"

Xue Ye was completely dumbfounded.

"Where is the Crown Prince? I just realized I haven't seen him all day."

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince seems to be absent from the palace; we don't know where he's gone."

Xue Ye nodded, glanced at the sky, and waved his hand, saying, "You can go now. I'll deal with these things tomorrow."

"Yes!"

As Xue Ye lay back in bed, recalling what the guard had said, he suddenly hissed.

Why is Spirit City specifically targeting academies this time? Could it be for the upcoming Continental Youth Soul Master Elite Tournament?

But after thinking it over carefully, Xue Ye felt that it wasn't worth it for them.

After all, even the Worship Hall was mobilized.

If the Worship Hall is mobilized, it must be something important.

I can't sleep at all on this Xue Ye.

Spirit City.

"Finally over... Perfect timing, I've used up all my Soul Power."

Shen Luo looked at the panel.

All four members of the team are currently at max constellation, but only two of them are missing maxed-out signature weapons.

The Soul Power that I initially thought I had plenty of actually became increasingly insufficient as time went on.

We'll talk about the rest tomorrow.

Although most people will be busy tomorrow, there will definitely be people who come to support us.

The requirements aren't high; I'll be satisfied if the remaining three members of the team are raised to the same standard as Furina before the end of tomorrow's competition.

With a team like this, Shen Luo could dominate the entire Douluo Continent.

However, with so many people now able to form teams, completing just one team is not enough to satisfy Shen Luo's ultimate goal.

Since you're playing the role of a god, you need to have all the five-star characters in the UP (upgrade) tier to be worthy of being called a god.

"Go to sleep!"

Hearing Shen Luo's voice, the little bundle curled up under the covers stirred.

Shen Luo noticed this too, and he immediately laughed, "I thought you were asleep. You're still awake?"

Furina neither spoke nor moved.

Shen Luo then threw off the covers and crawled into bed.

Sure enough, the already fragrant bed smelled even better now, and Shen Luo even took a few greedy deep breaths.

"Furina?"

"What."

There has been a response.

Shen Luo thought for a moment, then raised his hand to touch her face; it was soft and smooth.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

"None of your business, just go to sleep."

Hey, what's with that tone? What little tantrum is she throwing now?

Shen Luo secretly grabbed a corner of the blanket, then suddenly pulled it off, exposing Furina's rosy face to the light.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Furina quickly grabbed the blanket, looking very shy, and didn't want to look Shen Luo in the eye.

She covered her head again and curled up into a small ball under the covers.

What's wrong with you?

Shen Luo poked her head.

"Did you just... just see that?"

Which time are you referring to?

Which time?!

Furina immediately threw off the covers and questioned Shen Luo.

Shen Luo immediately realized what was happening and stammered, "Oh, you mean, you mean the first time? I didn't look carefully, I didn't see anything."

"Really?"

"Really? Your place is completely bare; you can't see anything there."

"Bare..."

Furina repeated the word, almost in tears. "You still say you didn't see it..."

"I... okay, I saw it all."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Shen Luo simply confessed, acting as if he were as thick as a rock and as cold as a brick wall.

Furina lay down immediately and covered herself tightly with the blanket again.

Seeing her like this, Shen Luo helplessly lay down. He was about to cover himself with the blanket when Furina grabbed him and hogged the blanket, refusing to give it to Shen Luo.

Okay, okay...

Shen Luo: "To avoid catching a cold, I can only hug you through the blanket; it'll keep us warmer that way."

As soon as she finished speaking, Furina immediately offered the blanket to her.

Hmph, isn't it easy to deal with you?

Shen Luo smiled and covered herself with the blanket she had snatched.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next morning.

The main force that set off from Heaven Dou City has arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qian Daoliu ordered everyone to wait there.

Bibi Dong's group hasn't arrived yet. They'll go in together once everyone is there.
