Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

"What did you say! Elder Gong went out to capture soul beasts the other day?!"

Yu Wudao's voice was hurried and his expression was anxious.

The arena staff were frightened by Yu Wudao's appearance and could only nod weakly.

Yu Wudao took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his emotions and trying his best to remain calm as he spoke:

"Go get me 100 jin of specially made soul beast bait meat, quick!"

"How much!?"

Yu Wudao's eyes sharpened, instantly transforming into golden vertical pupils.

Those fierce eyes stared at him coldly, exuding murderous intent!

The staff immediately fell silent, no longer daring to ask any more questions, and hurriedly went to prepare bait for Yu Wudao.

Ten minutes later

Yu Wudao stood outside the east gate of Shrek Academy and glanced in the direction of the Sea God Pavilion.

Then he turned and left.

……

Starry Sky Great Forest Mixed Zone

More than twenty figures gathered together, moving nimbly through the jungle without making much noise.

"Senior Sister, it's been two and a half months already. If it really doesn't work, let's go into the core area!"

A man in the middle of the line said somewhat impatiently.

Upon hearing this, the stunningly beautiful woman at the head of the line, who was nine feet tall, had a bottom wider than her shoulders, and breasts larger than her head, immediately and firmly refused:

"No! We still have junior students who have just reached the Soul King level in our team; the core area is too dangerous for them!"

"But it's so hard to find a soul beast that's over 20,000 years old and still compatible in the mixed zone! We've been searching for so long, and we're still missing two students who haven't found anything yet."

"That's what the man said."

Upon hearing this, the woman following behind Zhang Lexuan also became somewhat anxious. She was one of the two who had not yet found a suitable soul ring.

"Yes, Senior Sister! We've been out for two and a half months! And with so many Soul Emperors like us, plus you and Elder Xuan, the core area isn't really a big deal! Our team can even crush soul beasts over 50,000 years old!"

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Zhang Lexuan's expression, and then added seemingly casually:

"And at this time, the freshmen from the Foreign Languages ​​Department should be starting their freshman competition soon..."

Upon hearing this, even Zhang Lexuan, who had been very resolute, began to hesitate.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally agreed.

"Alright! We can enter the core area, but we must further tighten our formation; no one is allowed to fall behind!"

This soul hunt took far longer than she had imagined. After two and a half months without seeing Yu Wudao, Zhang Lexuan was just as anxious.

What's more, she had promised Yu Wudao that she would definitely watch his match during the freshman competition!

Moreover, what the younger students said makes sense. It is indeed difficult to find a 20,000-year-old soul beast in the mixed zone. Currently, many soul hunting teams have become Soul Emperors after obtaining soul rings. Such strength should not be underestimated even in the core zone.

The only ones worth worrying about are those few disciples with the cultivation level of Soul King.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan parted her lips slightly:

"Shrink the formation! Disciples with Soul King cultivation, stay in the center of the formation and don't wander off! We'll prepare and then head straight for the core area!"

After saying that, Zhang Lexuan stopped and took the lead in resting on the spot.

"Wu Dao, wait for me! I'll definitely be back before your match ends!"

……

the other side

"Boom boom boom!"

Yu Wudao carried a level-five soul-guided flying device. With his powerful ultimate attribute soul power, using the soul-guided flying device across two stages was not a great burden for him.

He unleashed his full soul power, recklessly crossing the outer zone until he entered the mixed zone, at which point his speed slowed down.

After entering the mixed zone, Yu Wudao reduced his speed and altitude, scanning the mixed zone at high speed close to the ground, while calling out the name of Electrolux in his mind.

"Old Master Yi? Old Master Yi?"

"..."

"This is troublesome!"

Some time ago, Electrolux used up some of his divine soul power in order to control Ma Xiaotao.

Although it wasn't a huge drain on him, he couldn't afford to waste time recovering. Besides, Yu Wudao hadn't had anything major happen to him recently, so he simply stayed in the Life Gold to sleep and recover his soul.

Although Electrolux could not directly help him fight, his mental power had reached another level, entering the stage of godhood.

Even with his fragmented divine sense, Yu Wudao was able to easily avoid the soul beasts in the mixed zone and find Zhang Lexuan and the others more quickly.

But without Electrolux, Yu Wudao can only search with his naked eye, and the difference in efficiency is enormous.

After confirming that Electrolux was asleep, Yu Wudao put away the aircraft and landed on the ground to travel on foot.

The noise and movement of the aircraft were too great, which would easily attract the attacks of the soul beasts. This would not only be detrimental to Yu Wudao's preservation of his state, but would also seriously affect his exploration progress.

He let out a long sigh, exhaling a column of white mist, with wisps of white steam rising from his body.

This is a phenomenon caused by a sharp increase in his body temperature, both inside and out.

His eyes changed into golden vertical pupils as he opened and closed, and a strong, ferocious aura emanated from them.

The martial spirit also possessed the body.

The powerful dragon might of the Ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex permeated his body, which effectively deterred some weaker soul beasts and prevented them from affecting his progress.

"Wait for me, Sister Lexuan! I promise I'll never let you leave me!"

……

Shrek Foreign Languages ​​School

As soon as the documents regarding the freshman competition were distributed, the class teachers of each class came to their respective classrooms to explain the relevant competition rules and group arrangements.

Wang Yan was no exception, but he encountered a problem.

Does anyone know where Yu Wudao went?

Wang Yan looked at the empty seat next to Wang Dong and asked helplessly.

"After three months of peace and quiet, did he finally skip class again?"

He shook his head, clearing his mind. "Forget it, three months of peace is about right."

"Wang Dong, you and Yu Wudao are in the same dorm. Do you know where he went?"

Wang Dong was equally puzzled.

She shook her head, looking bewildered, and said, "In the morning, Wudao said he had something to do and went out first, and then I haven't seen him since."

"Why--"

With a sigh, Wang Yan continued:

"Never mind, when you see him today, remember to tell him he must come to class tomorrow. The group list for the freshman competition is due tomorrow afternoon."

Group work is not feasible at the moment, but classes will still have to continue.

Wang Yan turned to the students and said:

"Since the class monitor isn't here, I'll explain the details of the freshman competition to you first. We'll discuss the group assignments tomorrow in class, so you can get a feel for the process beforehand. If you have any suggestions about the group assignments, feel free to let me know."
