Douluo: Becoming a God by Relying on my Enemies

At that moment, Yun Feng joined the three girls, overhearing the conversation. He smiled and said,

"Indeed, but it's also the sorrow of spirit beasts and the sorrow of the world."

Xiao Wu, who had felt uncomfortable upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's earlier words, was startled by Yun Feng's statement. Her eyes brightened slightly as she quickly asked,

"Yun Feng, you're here! Why do you say that?"

Yun Feng smiled faintly before explaining,

"It's simple. The growth rate of spirit beasts is far too slow compared to Spirit Masters. A ten-thousand-year spirit beast may not have lived the full ten thousand years, but it certainly has survived for thousands of years.

"Yet Spirit Masters, as soon as they reach the Spirit King level, must hunt ten-thousand-year spirit beasts. With such a trend, as Spirit Masters grow stronger and spirit beasts are hunted down, the day will come when spirit beasts disappear entirely. When that happens, if Spirit Masters can't find an alternative to spirit rings, they too will become relics of history."

Xiao Wu stared at Yun Feng, a subtle ripple of emotion stirring within her heart. She hadn't expected Yun Feng to have such an insightful grasp of the current situation. Her gaze softened, revealing a glimmer of admiration.

Yun Feng, noticing her reaction, smiled and said,

"Relax, it's just a passing thought. Go on with your discussion."

The girls were momentarily stunned by Yun Feng's perspective, but with Ning Rongrong around, the heavy atmosphere didn't last long.

"In that case, doesn't the Star Dou Forest essentially serve as a spirit beast farm for the two empires?" Ning Rongrong asked naively.

Xiao Wu's face darkened, while Zhu Zhuqing calmly explained,

"Of course not. Those so-called 'spirit beast farms' are insignificant—they rarely even have thousand-year spirit beasts.

"They're only suitable for Spirit Scholars or low-level Spirit Masters.

"The Star Dou Forest is one of the three largest spirit beast habitats on the Douluo Continent.

"Its vastness rivals the size of the Barak Kingdom. The forest spans both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, with two-fifths of it within the Heaven Dou Empire's borders and three-fifths in the Star Luo Empire.

"It's a massive, primeval forest with diverse terrain, including wetlands and swamps.

"The spirit beasts there are terrifying. The closer you get to the forest's core, the stronger they become. It's said that even hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts dwell within.

"Any Spirit Master with sufficient strength and luck can find the perfect spirit ring there.

"My second spirit ring was obtained from the Star Dou Forest."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong grew visibly excited.

"I can't wait for tomorrow to come!"

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, their eyes tinged with envy as they watched the carefree Ning Rongrong.

After all, compared to the pampered life of this little princess, their experiences were worlds apart—one from the heavens, the other from the earth.

Still, their envy didn't turn into jealousy. After all, some things couldn't be envied away.

The day passed without much preparation needed. The next morning, after breakfast, everyone gathered on the training ground, where Zhao Wuji was already waiting for them.

When Yun Feng arrived, he noticed a faint flicker of Zhao Wuji's name on the Heaven Suppressing Stele.

However, it ultimately dimmed, and Zhao Wuji's name wasn't inscribed.

This reaction suggested that Zhao Wuji had learned about Dai Mubai's injuries.

A quick glance confirmed Dai Mubai's absence—unsurprising, given Yun Feng's heavy-handedness. Without a top-tier healing spirit, recovery would take a long time.

Zhao Wuji looked at Yun Feng and said gruffly,

"Dai Mubai is injured and won't be joining us for this session. Yun Feng, you have the highest spirit power—you lead the way!"

Yun Feng smiled faintly and didn't refuse. He had his own plans, but for now, he played along.

However, he didn't forget the necessary reminders.

"The Star Dou Forest isn't a playground. It's home to countless spirit beasts, most of them highly aggressive and hostile toward humans. Stay alert and handle every encounter carefully.

"Tang San, you take the front. Oscar, Ning Rongrong, follow closely behind him. Fatty and Xiao Wu, guard the flanks. Zhu Zhuqing and I will bring up the rear.

"Once we enter the forest, maintain this formation and stay vigilant at all times. Let's move out!"

Tang San hesitated, pointing at himself in surprise.

"Me?"

"Yes, you!" Yun Feng affirmed.

"But my spirit power is the lowest. Isn't it unsuitable for me to lead?"

Yun Feng chuckled.

"That's where you're mistaken. I've observed your abilities. While your strength isn't the highest, your observational skills are exceptional. You're perfect for scouting the front."

Tang San was taken aback by Yun Feng's keen insight, but he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright then."

Zhao Wuji silently watched from the side, not interfering with their arrangements, as the seven students left the academy together.

Without carriages, they began running as soon as they stepped out.

Before long, the students began to understand the significance of Yun Feng's advice the previous day.

Thanks to Yun Feng's earlier encouragement, they had overcome their initial aversion to Oscar's sausages.

As the journey progressed, even Yun Feng, despite his superior stamina, started to show signs of exhaustion. Although not debilitating, sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Oscar's sausages proved invaluable, replenishing energy so effectively that even the least athletic among them, Ning Rongrong, managed to keep up.

It wasn't until they experienced it firsthand that they truly understood the importance of a support-type martial spirit.

Oscar, proud of his sausages' miraculous effects, was further supported by Ma Hongjun, who carried some of his supplies to lighten his load, ensuring he could conserve spirit power for their journey.

The Star Dou Forest, located southeast of the Barak Kingdom, shared a small border with it.

Since Soto City was also in the southeast of the Barak Kingdom, the forest

was less than 500 kilometers away, making it the ideal location for Shrek Academy students to hunt for spirit rings.
