Chapter 95: The Star Dou Great Forest

Not a word was spoken all night.

The morning sun rose.

Oscar, who usually would still be sleeping, was still in the midst of cultivation; seeing this, the corners of Shi Quan's mouth could not help but lift into a faint smile.

It looks like it's steady; it shouldn't take long for Oscar to reach a Breakthrough to thirty levels.

As long as Oscar can reach a Breakthrough to thirty levels within today, then the matter of the Eight Spider Lances is secure.

Walking out of the Dormitory on tiptoe, he called for Zhu Zhuqing, and the two of them arrived at the Canteen to eat breakfast.

While eating, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Tang San arrived at the Canteen together, followed by Ma Hongjun, who looked refreshed and spirited; it seemed he had properly vented his Evil Fire last night.

After everyone finished breakfast, neither Oscar nor Dai Mubai had come to the Canteen.

Not long after finishing breakfast.

"You've reached thirty levels?" Flender's eyes lit up, "Good, good, good! You are now the third person in the school to reach thirty levels! And a Food-type Spirit reaching thirty levels at that!"

Oscar smiled and rubbed his head, chuckling: "It's all thanks to your encouragement last night, otherwise I might not have reached a Breakthrough to thirty levels so quickly."

Relying solely on Oscar's Big Sausage, it was impossible for Dai Mubai to have recovered so much in one night; it seemed that in order to treat Dai Mubai's injuries, the group had also sought help from the academy's other Food-type Soul Emperor, Shao Xin, for treatment.

Food-type martial souls are indeed rare on the Douluo Continent; those like Oscar are few and far between, because cultivation is extremely difficult.

"It was still relying on your own ability."

The cultivation difficulty for a Food-type Spirit Master is much higher than for her, a Treasure-type Spirit Master; even so, Oscar had reached a Breakthrough to thirty levels at only fourteen years old—such talent was something she had never even heard of.

"Shi Quan, is this what you meant by 'there is always someone better'?" Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar's figure, but in her mind, she was thinking of Shi Quan's figure.

Oscar hurriedly said: "Dean, I haven't been slacking off. I was just cultivating diligently and happened to reach a Breakthrough; I am now at thirty levels of soul power."

"Today's lesson is very simple. Oscar, you are the protagonist today. Today's lesson is that, except for Oscar, each of you must eat at least one of the two types of sausages produced by Oscar's soul power."

Just as Shi Quan finished speaking, he saw Oscar running over in a hurry from the direction of the Dormitory. However, there was no panic of being late on his face; instead, it was full of excitement.

After falling into line, Dai Mubai stood directly at the far left of the team, furthest from Shi Quan.

"Alright. Today's lesson begins now." Flender's voice pulled everyone back from their congratulations to Oscar.

Shi Quan then said: "Xiao Ao should be in deep meditation and is still cultivating; it might take a while."

Just as Oscar finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

"Congratulations, Xiao Ao." Shi Quan smiled and offered his congratulations.

The school bell rang, and everyone arrived at the large Playground one after another.

His sharp gaze swept over the group, and his brows could not help but furrow slightly, "Where is Oscar? Is he sleeping in again?"

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Flender finally arrived at the Playground at a leisurely pace.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai also stepped forward one after another to offer their congratulations; Ning Rongrong finally stepped forward to offer hers as well, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Oscar had changed somewhat.

With everyone present, Dai Mubai then arrived at the Playground; apart from his complexion still being a bit pale, no abnormalities could be seen, only that when his evil eyes saw Shi Quan, a flash of wariness and fear flickered in the depths of his pupils.

"Oscar, do you want to go run laps again?" Dean Flender glared at him.

"Dean, what kind of lesson is this? I don't want to eat Big Sausage Uncle's sausages," Xiao Wu said, both shocked and angry.

"This is called adaptive training..." Flender then began to explain.

Listening to Flender's words, Oscar was already blooming with joy inside. By doing this, Flender not only wanted everyone to develop a sense of identification with him, but for Oscar himself, it was also an extreme psychological satisfaction.

This kind of identification was what he craved most; among his peers, he had only received it from Shi Quan, which was also a main reason why he trusted Shi Quan.

"Come, Zhuang Zhou, Zhuqing, you've both eaten the Big Sausage, but you haven't tried the Small Dried Sausage yet; want to taste how the Small Dried Sausage is?"

Oscar's gaze fell first on Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing.

Because of Shi Quan, Zhu Zhuqing was no longer repulsed by Oscar's sausages, and neither of them stood on ceremony, taking the freshly made Small Dried Sausages directly from Oscar's hand and tasting them earnestly.

"The taste is not bad." Shi Quan nodded with satisfaction.

"Who wants to go first?" Oscar's gaze swept over everyone.

"I'll go first."

The third person to walk out was none other than Ning Rongrong.

She walked up, looking at the Roasted Sausage with curious eyes, took a Big Sausage and a Small Sausage from Oscar's hand, and ate them up with a gulp.

Feeling the warm current in her body, the look in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she looked at Oscar gained a bit more amazement.

She hadn't expected the quality of Oscar's sausages to be so good; aside from the Spirit Spell being a bit lewd, this Oscar was indeed a genius.

Following that, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also ate theirs respectively, and then Tang San pulled Xiao Wu along to eat them as well.

Seeing everyone finish eating, Flender nodded with satisfaction and said: "Alright, that is today's lesson. Go back and prepare for a day, get plenty of rest. Early the next morning, gather here, then set off; Teacher Zhao Wuji will lead you to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar obtain his Third Soul Ring."

This is not just Oscar's business alone, but also a trial for all of you. Before encountering a thousand-year Spirit Beast, Teacher Zhao will not easily intervene; everything must depend on yourselves. Alright, dismissed."

After announcing the arrangements for tomorrow, the group was finally dismissed.

Because of Oscar's stimulation, after being dismissed, everyone returned to their respective Dormitories to cultivate and rest, starting preparations for tomorrow's trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Zhuang Zhou, what kind of soul ring do you think I should obtain for my third one that would suit my current Sausage martial soul?"

Because of the conversation last night, Oscar knew that Shi Quan had strong knowledge regarding Spirit Theory, so as soon as he returned to the Dormitory, he couldn't help but excitedly ask Shi Quan.

Shi Quan smiled faintly: "Soul rings are more about luck. If it's based on your situation, I think the best thing for this third soul ring is an amplification support effect, such as speed. That way, both you and Ning Rongrong will have speed amplification; if you can't win, with two amplifications, at least you can run, right?"

"Moreover, with this type of amplification soul skill, once you possess combat power later, you can also amplify yourself, which can also minimize the gap between you and your enemies."

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right." Oscar nodded excitedly; if you can't win, just run—speed amplification is indeed a good choice.

The only problem is not knowing if he can encounter a suitable Spirit Beast.

The group didn't have much to prepare in one day. Early the next morning, after breakfast, when everyone gathered on the Playground, Zhao Wuji was already waiting for them there.

Seeing Zhao Wuji appear with a bruised and swollen face, they were all stunned for a moment, then immediately covered their mouths and laughed.

While finding it funny, everyone couldn't help but be a bit surprised as to why Zhao Wuji had become like this.

Seeing this, Shi Quan couldn't help but smile lightly; having a badass father to protect you really is different.

Unlike him, who can only rely on himself.

"What are you laughing at! A bunch of little brats!" Zhao Wuji looked at everyone snickering with their heads lowered and instantly flew into a rage, "I think your skins are itching for a beating."

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji call them little brats, Xiao Wu was immediately displeased and muttered under her breath, "Why didn't he say little blind bears?"

Zhao Wuji glared, "Xiao Wu, what are you saying?"

Tang San instinctively stepped across, shielding Xiao Wu behind him.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji could only reveal a gnashing-of-teeth expression, snorted, and said, "Alright, Zhuang Zhou, do you know about the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"I know."

"If you know, then you lead the team, and the others will coordinate with you."

Shi Quan was stunned; in the original story, it was Dai Mubai, but it seems because he gave him two good beatings, the team leader became himself.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest Spirit Beast Forest on the continent. It has numerous Spirit Beasts, and they are all extremely aggressive; it is the most dangerous Spirit Beast Forest, bar none. We haven't reached the forest yet, so we won't arrange the formation for now. By the way, Teacher Zhao, how are we getting there?"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand, "Arrange the journey yourselves, but you must reach the Star Dou Great Forest by tomorrow at the latest."

"That's simple." Shi Quan nodded, "Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, you two assist Rongrong on the road. Tang San and Dai Mubai, you two assist Little Ao to reduce their consumption. Rongrong, you directly apply your Second Soul Skill to everyone to increase speed. For physical exertion on the road, we'll rely on Little Ao's Sausage for replenishment."

The assignments were finished. The group quickly set off toward the location of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, relying on Oscar's Roasted Sausage to satisfy their hunger and Ning Rongrong's speed amplification, the group successfully arrived at the small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest by the afternoon.

At this time, they were only a little over one hundred kilometers away from the Star Dou Great Forest, which was already very close.

The Spirit Beast Forest at night is undoubtedly the most dangerous, and Zhao Wuji's requirement was also to arrive at the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow.

Therefore, the group chose to rest for the night in this small town.

Arriving at a new place, everyone was inevitably curious. Since it was still early, after confirming their hotel, the group went out together to stroll around.

While it was called going together, in reality, the two sides were clearly divided: Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun were in one group; Shi Quan, Oscar, and Zhuqing were in another; Ning Rongrong wandered between the two groups.

As the saying goes, those who live on the mountain live off the mountain, and those who live by the water live off the water. It must be said that the goods sold in this small town were indeed comprehensive; many things that couldn't even be bought in the cities could be found in these small towns. Of course, the only drawback was that the things in the small town were truly expensive.

After all, who else but Spirit Masters are the wealthiest group on the continent...
