Huo Yuhao didn't waste any time and immediately introduced himself, "Huo Yuhao, a first-year student, a level 20 Control System Battle Soul Master, with the Spiritual Eyes soul. I need a soul ring. Since my cultivation is the lowest here, I'll be relying on everyone."
Upon hearing the words "Spiritual Eyes," Leino's eyes lit up. "Junior, are you a spirit-attribute soul master?"
"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Leino's eyes brightened even further.
However, Yan Shaozhe saw the situation and quickly coughed. "Alright, let's set off then."
Zhang Lexuan covered her mouth, smiling.
Unlike before, when Huo Yuhao had to take a detour to enter the Star Dou Great Forest, this time, with two Super Douluo leading the way, they set off directly from Shrek Academy's east gate, facing the Star Dou Great Forest.
As soon as they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi disappeared from the group.
Looking at the forest, which was as deep as an abyss, and the warning signs hanging on the trees, Zhang Lexuan's eyes also became cautious. She said in a low voice to the group, "Yuhao, come to the middle of the group. I'll be responsible for scouting the path. Yongyue and Xiaosheng, you take the flanks. Leino, you cover the rear."
"With Yuhao with us this time, Dean Yan and Elder Xuan will directly drive away the powerful soul beasts nearby. The rest is up to us. Remember, the Star Dou Great Forest is not a human world. No matter what, you must be cautious."
"Understood," everyone replied softly.
Under normal circumstances, although the inner court students had strong people accompanying them, they generally wouldn't take action unless they encountered a tricky situation. They would rely on themselves to kill suitable soul beasts.
The group slowly entered the forest. Unlike entering from other places, the entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest facing the east gate of Shrek Academy was directly the Outer Ring. The soul beasts living there were mostly at the hundred-year to thousand-year level.
But perhaps it was because Zhang Lexuan's aura was too powerful, but no soul beast with bad eyesight dared to come and cause trouble along the way.
Gradually, the group went deeper and deeper into the forest. They walked for several hours, and they had rested several times during that time. Huo Yuhao's physical fitness was definitely inferior to everyone else's. As the soul beast aura in the air became more and more concentrated, everyone arrived at the junction of the Outer Ring and the Mixed Ring.
Arriving here, Zhang Lexuan's speed slowed down even further. From this point on, she would be leading everyone to find suitable soul beasts to kill.
The probability of ten-thousand-year soul beasts appearing in the Mixed Ring was high, so caution was needed.
However, the dense trees and vegetation also obstructed the view. Coupled with the cover of towering trees, sunlight was also difficult to penetrate, making everything appear dim. The faint smell of decay lingered in the air.
"Close the formation. This area is prone to soul beasts that like to ambush," Zhang Lexuan transmitted her soul power to everyone.
Ye Xiaosheng and Li Yongyue, who were twenty meters away from the team, nodded in understanding and slowly contracted their search range.
Zhang Lexuan certainly wasn't afraid of ambushing soul beasts, but it didn't mean her junior classmates weren't. To avoid accidents and being unable to react in time, she could only tighten the formation.
But just then, Huo Yuhao spoke up, "Senior Sister, you can have a few senior classmates return."
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan looked at Huo Yuhao with confusion, her face now serious, "Reason."
The others hadn't looked over, but they were also filled with doubt.
Huo Yuhao didn't speak with a grin, but instead took action. The next moment, a yellow soul ring rose from beneath his feet. As the soul ring lit up, a faint mental fluctuation spread out, and several mental links separated, shooting into the minds of the four people.
Soon, a scene that shocked Zhang Lexuan and the others appeared. The world in their minds suddenly became incredibly clear.
The surrounding trees, terrain, and various distance data all quickly appeared in everyone's minds.
To put it in a single sentence, they could see everything without even using their eyes to observe.
With the release of Spiritual Detection, the figures of several soul beasts hiding in the shadows soon became visible. The one closest to the team was a scorpion-like soul beast hiding a hundred meters ahead.
"How is the consumption of your soul skill?" Zhang Lexuan immediately reacted.
"Maintaining the current diameter of three hundred meters, I can continue to release it while moving forward and recover. But if I expand the range, the soul power consumption will increase by five percent for every ten meters added," Huo Yuhao said immediately.
"If we detect in a straight line, the distance is seven hundred meters. The consumption can be maintained, but if the length is increased by ten meters, the consumption also increases by ten percent. It's difficult to maintain with recovery."
"Hiss." Aside from Zhang Lexuan, who was more shocked, the rest of them gasped.
This was straight-up cheating. This soul skill was simply perfect for use in this kind of place.
In the soul beast forest, the only two things to fear were encountering soul beasts far beyond the team's strength and encountering those that liked to ambush.
In fact, the second point was even more likely to lead to casualties.
But with this soul skill, Ye Xiaosheng and Li Yongyue didn't even need to scout the surrounding area, and their safety was greatly improved.
Zhang Lexuan forcibly calmed the surprise in her heart, "Yuhao, just maintain a diameter of three hundred meters."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded.
With the help of the Godly Silk skill and that Enlightenment Pill, his Spiritual Detection could now reach a diameter of three hundred meters.
Soon, Ye Xiaosheng and Li Yongyue returned directly to the team. With this amazing skill to support them, why bother with their own investigations?
The group's speed suddenly increased.
After advancing less than three thousand meters, everyone stopped.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection scanned a presence far more powerful than any soul beast they'd encountered before, a warning signal entering everyone's minds.
Beside a stream, a huge rhinoceros was drinking water, its head lowered. Its skin was black-gray and covered in numerous cracks, as if it were wearing a damaged suit of armor.
"Stop."
Zhang Lexuan immediately gave the order.
The group stopped, jumping onto a large tree and using Spiritual Detection to observe the soul beast.
When Zhang Lexuan saw the soul beast clearly, her eyes changed. "Leino, your sixth soul ring has arrived. This is a Black Armored Rhinoceros, estimated to be around twenty thousand years old, which is extremely suitable for your Rock Bear martial soul."
Leino's breathing quickened. He hadn't expected to be the first to find a suitable soul beast.
Zhang Lexuan didn't waste any time and immediately started arranging the battle plan.
At another entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Several figures in black robes were traversing inside from the outside.
They all exuded a strong, cold aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
"This time, we're obtaining the ninth soul rings for the seventh and eighth. Remember, if you encounter a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, avoid it directly. The last time we hunted a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it angered Ditian. Don't run into him this time. Once we've hunted suitable soul beasts below a hundred thousand years, leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately."
The black-robed man in the lead spoke with a stern voice, a faint aura of bloodlust emanating from him. Everywhere he passed, the vegetation was tinged with a layer of crimson.
"Understood," several black-robed figures behind him replied in unison.
"Leader, what about the matter the Demon Emperor entrusted to us?" one of the black-robed figures asked, his voice raspy and unpleasant.
The leading black-robed man sneered, "Setting up an array in the core ring of the Star Dou Great Forest to plunder life essence? She doesn't want to live, but I do. With Biji's perception, would she not sense a lack of life essence in the core ring of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"But if we don't help, the Demon Emperor will likely be displeased. Currently, only the Great Offering and the Supreme Leader within the sect can suppress her," the same black-robed figure spoke again, his tone hesitant.
"What if she's displeased? Don't forget, we saved her in the first place. Besides, a Demon Emperor in a weakened state is easier to control. If she truly recovers her peak strength, it might be bad news for us."
The leading black-robed man glanced at the sky.
"Alright, move out, quickly."
"Yes."
