Chapter 120 An Encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest
All the students at Shrek Academy used to live in a poor village with extremely poor living conditions. The academy had virtually no training facilities, let alone any simulated environment.
However, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is the complete opposite. It offers free food, various superior simulated environments, and tall, luxurious dormitories and training grounds, making it a perfect training place.
But there are also various temptations. All the students in the academy are from noble families, and they are all handsome men and beautiful women.
Many of them come to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy not for practice or training, but more for networking and making connections with the powerful and wealthy.
The seven Shrek students, on the other hand, were like a large piece of fat meat.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San are four exceptionally talented boys who have already reached the Soul Master level at a young age and are students in the Heaven Dou-level class.
For nobles, this was like discovering treasure troves. If they could bring one of them into their household as a son-in-law, after the family's training, he could become a high-level Soul Master. Forget about a Title Douluo; at least a Soul Douluo would be within their grasp.
Any family that possesses even one Soul Douluo can basically be considered the most powerful family force.
As a result, countless handsome men and beautiful women surrounded Shrek, showering him with attention and throwing themselves at him.
Even before Shrek Academy members started cultivating, they received a ton of love letters every day, and all sorts of beautiful women appeared around Dai Mubai and his companions.
The first person downstairs is Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun had been frequenting brothels since his youth due to his lustful desires, and had countless girlfriends. Now, with so many beautiful women throwing themselves at him, he naturally succumbed to temptation immediately.
Tang San maintained his pure and innocent image, and with Xiao Wu watching over him, no one else could take advantage of the situation.
Dai Mubai and Oscar are relatively more composed. Dai Mubai is pursuing Zhu Zhuqing, while Oscar is pursuing Ning Rongrong. For now, they are doing a little better than Ma Hongjun.
However, Dai Mubai is naturally a womanizer, and Oscar has had many girlfriends in the past. It's unknown whether he will be bribed by someone using his beauty.
Upon seeing this, Dean Flander immediately approached Yu Xiaogang: "Xiaogang, the training of all the students has deteriorated a lot recently. Everyone seems to have lost their enthusiasm for cultivation. The environment at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is excellent, but I don't think it's suitable for Shrek Academy students to study. I think we should leave as soon as possible."
Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, seemed indifferent: "Flander, we are all just teachers. The students have to walk their own paths in the future. You can control them for a while, but you can't control them forever."
"But if things continue like this, the children will be ruined in a few years. Hongjun is already in great danger."
Yu Xiaogang's only disciple is Tang San. Tang San is quite self-disciplined and has Xiao Wu watching over him, so Yu Xiaogang is not worried at all about Tang San causing any problems.
Now that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has a superior environment, high-grade soul beast meat delicacies, and a good simulated environment, all of these are beneficial to the cultivation of soul masters. How could Yu Xiaogang bear to leave with Tang San?
Yu Xiaogang even mentioned to the three instructors that he wanted to take Tang San to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team to serve as team leader, but no one paid him any attention. The three instructors had been teaching for many years, so they naturally knew the source of Yu Xiaogang's knowledge and his soul power level, and they were even more aware of Yu Xiaogang's reputation in the soul master world. How could they possibly agree to his request?
Moreover, the members of the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy come from diverse backgrounds and have powerful connections. They are basically a united front, so how could they possibly do something so thankless and difficult?
To put it bluntly, Team Two is clearly aiming for the championship. Even the three education commissioners themselves want to be the team leader. How could Yu Xiaogang possibly get such a good opportunity?
Flander and Yu Xiaogang had a heated argument and parted on bad terms. However, judging from Flander's expression, he was not going to let it go and seemed to be planning to take some action.
Yang Podi finally received news from home that he was preparing to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings.
However, before Yang Podi could even prepare to go home, Dugu Bo actually came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in person and took Yang Podi away, claiming that he wanted to take him out for some training, leaving everyone completely confused.
When Yang Podi and Dugu Bo arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, in addition to Yang Zhentian, Niu Jinfeng, and Yang Wushuang, their maternal grandfather Niu Gao also came. However, thinking about it, this time they were mainly helping their mother hunt for the ninth spirit ring, so it would be strange if their grandfather didn't come.
Moreover, the second grandfather had already disguised himself and even wore a mask, so even if he met an acquaintance, no one could tell his original identity.
According to the plan, Mom mainly hunted defensive-type soul beasts this time, with a soul beast age of around 80,000. Soul beasts of this level can only be found in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Bo looked at Yang Podi with a half-smile and said, "Little monster, your fifth spirit ring is from a 40,000-year-old spirit beast. How high a spirit beast do you want for your sixth spirit ring? You don't mean an 80,000-year-old one, do you?"
Yang Podi nodded: "Grandpa Dugu, you are really amazing. You actually guessed that I wanted a soul beast that was 70,000 to 80,000 years old."
Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment: "Do you even know what an 80,000-year-old soul beast is? Many people have difficulty absorbing their eighth soul ring."
"Don't worry about that. Last time I absorbed a 40,000-year-old unicorn tyrannosaurus, and it felt quite easy. The age limit can be increased even further. This time, absorbing a soul beast of about 80,000 years old will be no problem at all."
"So, your seventh spirit ring will be a 100,000-year-old one? Where in the Douluo Continent are you going to find a 100,000-year-old spirit beast for you? Besides, you still have your eighth and ninth spirit rings to come? Does that mean you'll have to find three 100,000-year-old spirit beasts?"
"Let's talk about the future later. We'll find it if we keep looking."
After hearing this, Dugu Bo was speechless. Talking to this kid was too tiring. He had only just become a Title Douluo and couldn't possibly defeat a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Apart from the mother, Niu Jinfeng, the rest of the group were familiar with the area and arrived at the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest in just three days.
But were they just incredibly unlucky? They spent five days circling the core area and still couldn't find the soul beast they wanted.
That day, as the group continued their search for spirit beasts, the sounds of fighting suddenly erupted in the distance. The group exchanged glances, wondering if they were incredibly lucky to witness another battle between spirit beasts. Could they perhaps snag another one like last time?
However, when the group arrived at the battle site, the battle had already ended. The scene was actually a dead fire-attribute soul beast, which appeared to be a top-grade soul beast, the Flame Lion King, and was about 20,000 years old.
Standing next to the soul beast were three people, including a woman with golden hair and two middle-aged men.
When Yang Podi saw the three people, he was immediately alarmed: "Oh no, how did I run into these three? This is troublesome."
A middle-aged man at the scene seemed to have heard something and shouted angrily, "Who dares to peek like that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long spear thrust forward with great speed and power.
Grandpa Niu Gao immediately summoned his martial soul, quickly blocking the incoming attack, though his hands seemed to tremble slightly. He couldn't help but exclaim, "That force...it's actually from a Title Douluo?"
Seeing that the other party attacked without saying a word, Dugu Bo was furious: "Friend, I am Dugu Bo, who are you? I have never seen you before!"
Before entering the Star Dou Great Forest, the group had already agreed that if any negotiations with outsiders were needed, Dugu Bo would handle all of them.
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, the middle-aged man sneered, "I thought it was some nobody, but it turns out to be the weakest Title Douluo, Dugu Bo."
Dugu Bo hated nothing more than being called the weakest Title Douluo. He roared, "Who are you? You're a Title Douluo too? I don't kill nameless nobodies!"
The middle-aged man opposite seemed to be angered by Dugu Bo's words and was about to make a move.
Upon seeing this, Yang Podi quickly said, "Senior, we were just passing by and had no intention of disturbing you. We will leave immediately."
Before Yang Podi could leave, the blonde woman spoke up: "Wait a moment, what are you all doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"This beautiful lady, I am Yang Podi of the Po Clan. I have come to the Star Dou Great Forest to help me hunt for my fifth spirit ring. I have no intention of disturbing you all."
The blonde beauty seemed somewhat disdainful: "Why bother coming all the way to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest for a mere fifth spirit ring?"
"I couldn't find a suitable soul beast in the mixed zone, so I came to the core zone with Senior Dugu and my grandfather to see if there were any suitable ones. Aren't you here in the core zone too?"
The blonde beauty looked at the already dead Flame King, knowing that if he didn't absorb this top-grade soul ring soon, he would probably dissipate: "You should leave. Don't let me see you again."
Yang Podi thanked them and immediately led the group away from the place.
Although Dugu Bo didn't understand why Yang Podi had this attitude, he still felt that something was amiss, so he didn't say anything and just left with the others.
After the group had walked away, Dugu Bo couldn't help but say, "Little monster, I've never been treated like this in my entire life. Why didn't you let me fight that person just now?"
Yang Podi was speechless for a moment. Dugu Bo, how did you manage to survive to this day with a temper like that? You dare to offend someone like that?
"Grandpa Dugu, how strong were the two middle-aged men among those three?"
"If I weren't blind, they would both be Title Douluos."
"What was that woman's soul power level?"
Dugu Bo seemed a little puzzled: "That Flaming Lion King was a top-grade soul beast, reaching 20,000 years old. Judging from the strength of that golden-haired woman, she should be level 60."
"How old was that blonde woman? What kind of soul power aura did she possess?"
Dugu Bo thought for a moment, and was immediately horrified: "That blonde woman should be around twenty years old. She seemed to have a fire attribute aura on her body, and also a holy attribute aura that I hate."
"A Soul Emperor in his twenties, with an aura of divine attributes... Grandpa Dugu, don't you find that terrifying?"
Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment: "Aren't you also a Soul Emperor who's not even twenty years old?"
Yang Podi once again doubted Dugu Bo's intelligence: "A divine attribute aura, a twenty-year-old Soul Emperor, two Title Douluos as subordinates—what force in the world could achieve that?"
Dugu Bo's face darkened, and he uttered three words: "Spirit Hall!"
Yang Podi looked at Dugu Bo with a mocking expression: "Grandpa Dugu, that blonde woman should be absorbing a soul ring right now. If you launch a sneak attack, you'll definitely gain something."
"However, in that case, the Po clan, the Yu clan, and the Dugu family will probably be uprooted."
However, the mother, Niu Jinfeng, was still a little puzzled: "Does this blonde woman have such a powerful backer?"
Yang Podi sneered: "The descendant of the Qian family of the Angel Clan, with a six-winged angel martial soul, is probably the only one left in the Spirit Hall."
Dugu Bo's face darkened even more: "I heard that the former Pope Qian Xunji left behind an only daughter, who is said to have died young. I never imagined that she would still be alive, and with such terrifying talent."
Yang Podi looked at Dugu Bo and thought to himself: There's still a lot you can't imagine. You've seen this only son of the Qian family many times, you just don't recognize him.
