Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 13: Team Failure, Casualties Found

The relationship between soul beasts and human soul masters is one of hunting and prey. Human soul masters hunt soul beasts to obtain their soul rings. Similarly, if a soul beast preys on a human soul master with high cultivation, it can also increase its cultivation by consuming his body.

However, soul beasts rarely provoke humans outside the forest, since human soul masters always come to them on their own.

Therefore, even if some lower-age soul beasts have not yet developed intelligence, they know that the human world is dangerous and rarely take the initiative to attack.

Unless it's a beast tide.

Qian Renxue had no doubt that if soul beasts had recipes, her life force and blood would definitely be top-tier ingredients, comparable to delicacies from land and sea.

She had previously found several thousand-year-old soul beasts fighting each other, then cut her wrist slightly, letting a few drops of blood fall to the ground. The thousand-year-old soul beasts were instantly attracted by her blood, stopped fighting, and pounced on Qian Renxue.

Then Qian Renxue smeared a little blood on her clothes, wiped her face with her hands, and used her disguise ability to transform herself into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Finally, by using a similar method, all the spirit beasts in the vicinity were lured over.

This took a considerable amount of time, but it wasn't difficult for her, as her speed and agility were already quite good, and she also had the added advantage of her second soul skill. Her second soul skill was called Light Dance Sky Collapse, which allowed her to communicate with the surrounding light elements and move around; any kind of light could serve as a stepping stone for her.

Although it was night, the moonlight filtering through the gaps in the trees became her medium for teasing these spirit beasts, luring them over step by step.

At this moment, she looked terrified. When Zhou Yi pushed her, she "accidentally" splattered her own blood onto the old woman's arm. This kind of blood was highly nourishing for soul beasts, but to ordinary soul masters, it was no different from ordinary blood. Sucking blood was an impulse only evil soul masters would have. Qian Renxue had already concealed her life force, so Zhou Yi didn't feel anything; on the contrary, she felt a little nauseous.

"Keep an eye on her!"

To be honest, she wanted nothing more than to throw the girl out. She even suspected that the girl might be behind all of this, but she had to suppress the thought because she was with a bunch of kids.

She is a teacher at Shrek Academy, and she must control her emotions at this time and not reveal her true thoughts in front of these students, otherwise how will she survive in the academy?

Ultimately, it's because she simply looks down on these students. In her eyes, the most important thing is to discover talent for her husband, who teaches in the Soul Guidance Department, and the second most important thing is to resolutely uphold Shrek Academy's millennia-old school motto. So, she has already recommended two of the best students in her class to the Soul Guidance Department to study with Fan Yu, leaving only the "relatively outstanding" ones.

Her astonishing teaching methods have earned her a less-than-stellar reputation, with expelling students being commonplace. She believed this would put pressure on students and promote their growth, but in reality, it often only fostered a rebellious mentality. These were all teenagers, the pride of their families or cities, yet in her eyes, they were nothing but garbage.

The students who remained at the end, while somewhat accepting of the teacher's uniqueness, still harbored some resentment.

However, now is clearly not the time to harbor resentment. There are dozens of thousand-year-old soul beasts eyeing them from the outside. Although they have undergone similar tests in the academy, such as "experiencing the pressure of soul beasts," there are still more than this many.

Before the students could think, they assumed a fighting stance, leaving Qian Renxue alone in the cave behind them. Qian Renxue pretended to be seriously injured, sitting on the ground panting heavily, and then secretly used her mental power to spray her blood onto each of them.

Then, she used her angelic soul power to heal her self-inflicted wounds and coldly stared at the group of people.

For some reason, she seemed to have become a little smarter than before since her resurrection. Looking back on her past actions, she found them somewhat unbelievable. If you try to reason with someone, they might turn around and refuse to reason with you, then resort to violence.

At this moment, the Shrek Academy students were already engaged in a fierce battle with the spirit beasts, divided into two groups. The students formed one team, clearly having trained together. One of them, a level 40 Soul Master without any spirit rings, was their leader. His spirit was a vine, and Qian Renxue glanced at him briefly before paying him no further attention. Conversely, another girl about to obtain her fourth spirit ring was quite interesting; her spirit was a zither, whose sound waves could assist her teammates.

boom--

The roar of another battle drew Qian Renxue's attention. It was that teacher; according to the students, her surname seemed to be Zhou. Qian Renxue glanced in her direction, her gaze turning cold once more.

The teacher's martial spirit was a subspecies of dragon, which reminded her of some unpleasant memories.

Liu Erlong!

This teacher's martial soul is very similar to Liu Erlong's; both are fire-attribute red dragons! If her martial soul hadn't ignited the surrounding environment, these students would have been completely lost in the darkness.

"Hey, you there, can you still fight?" The leader of the control-type Soul Masters among the students shouted at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue shrank back in fright: "I...I..."

"If you can't fight, get out of here and don't cause us any trouble!" The control-type Soul Master waved his hand, and a green vine wrapped around his teammate, freeing him from a Soul Beast's attack.

Hearing this person's words, Qian Renxue was not annoyed. Instead, she observed the scene of the fight and then sighed.

Is this Shrek Academy's current fighting style? It seems well-organized, but it's actually full of flaws. That control-type Soul Master doesn't seem to be able to control the entire field; instead, he can only control his teammates, using vines to entangle their bodies and make them attack some Soul Beast, and he's even a bit flustered. In Qian Renxue's eyes, this is no different from a street brawl.

"Ah, a soul beast is coming from over there!" Qian Renxue shouted from behind.

This shout startled the Shrek team.

The control-type Soul Master was shocked for a moment, then looked in the direction Qian Renxue was pointing. Sure enough, a thousand-year-old ghost tiger pounced down the slope next to the cave. He had no time to react and could only watch as the ghost tiger knocked one of his teammates to the ground and bit down with its blood-red maw.

"Zhao Bing!" The control-type Soul Master's gaze sharpened. He abruptly retracted the vines binding his teammate, trying to pull him back. However, the tiger clearly noticed this. It slapped the vines with its paw, slamming the green vines connecting the two directly to the ground.

The vine was stronger than expected, so it didn't break. Instead, the immense force pulled the control-type Soul Master down, causing him to fall to the ground.

The students in Shrek Academy's outer court weren't actually that strong. Bei Bei reached the fourth ring at the age of fifteen, making her and Xu Sanshi the twin stars of the outer court. This must be due to her martial soul. However, during the Shrek reserve team assessment, the upperclassmen were mostly only at the fourth ring, and their exact ages were unknown.

Therefore, it can be inferred that most students in their foreign language department are not significantly different from those in other departments. However, they have a large student body, so large that 800 students have to share two toilets… Infrastructure is also a problem, which I won't elaborate on here. All I can say is that they're obsessed with making money.

Then, the outer students of Shrek Academy are divided into core disciples. Helping with soul hunting is something that only core disciples can enjoy. It can be said to be a tradition inherited from ten thousand years ago, that life and death are predestined and wealth and honor are determined by fate.
