Yu Xiaogang originally planned to wait for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to return from their soul hunt so that they could personally verify the kid's background.

But then I thought about it again. Flander had been on his way to hunt for spirit rings with those children for quite some time, and he had sent a letter a while ago saying that he was going to the Star Dou Great Forest. Nobody knew how long it would take for them to return.

This kid's injuries are serious; if we don't treat him, he probably won't make it until tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang turned his head and looked at Liu Erlong, who still had a murderous look on his face. "Erlong, this kid is still very useful. Have someone take him back and cure him with the best medicine at all costs."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong immediately became anxious: "Xiao Gang! Heal him? He's a piece of scum from Klein!

"I didn't even use force just now. Wouldn't it have been a clean break if I had just killed him? What if he's a spy sent by Kreiss?"

"He's not a spy; he has significant value." Yu Xiaogang patted Liu Erlong's hand, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Listen to me. Once he wakes up, I will personally continue to interrogate him and dig out every detail about him."

Liu Erlong stared intently at the unconscious Zhu Muhei on the ground, his chest heaving violently.

She had a million urges to immediately crush this kid's head, but she wouldn't go against Yu Xiaogang's wishes. Now was the time when Yu Xiaogang needed to prove his worth, and she absolutely couldn't ruin his plans because of her momentary temper.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Liu Erlong gritted her teeth in resentment, turned around, and scolded the two disciples standing inside the gate:

"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what the master said!"

"Drag this bastard inside like a dead dog, and find a healing-type Soul Master to keep him alive!"

The two disciples trembled with fright and rushed out. They roughly lifted the unconscious Zhu Muhei up on either side, leaving a trail of blood on the ground, and quickly walked into the gates of Shrek Academy.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Yu Xiaogang watched Zhu Muhei being dragged inside, a cold, vengeful glint in his eyes...

......

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Shrek Academy's Soul Hunting Operation proceeded exceptionally smoothly, even unstoppable.

Dai Mubai was the first to achieve a breakthrough.

On their first day deep in the forest, they encountered an iron tiger with five thousand years of cultivation.

This ferocious beast was as if it were cast from refined steel. Ordinary swords and blades could only leave white marks on its body. However, with two teachers supporting him, Dai Mubai finally killed it and successfully obtained his fourth soul ring - White Tiger Meteor Shower.

Immediately afterwards, the team located a 1,500-year-old Shadow Leopard in a dense forest for Zhu Zhuqing.

This leopard-like spirit beast was known for its unpredictable stealth and impressive speed, yet it still hunted with ease. In the end, Zhu Zhuqing slit the wind leopard's throat with a single blow.

As for Ma Hongjun's third spirit ring, it belonged to a 1,500-year-old Fiery Porcupine. In just a few rounds, the Fiery Porcupine gave up its spirit ring.

Now, among the entire team, only Tang San's fourth spirit ring is still unfinished.

As the group ventured deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, they moved with utmost care, remaining vigilant of their surroundings while carefully searching for prey that met Tang San's requirements.

At the front of the group, Flander suddenly stopped, turned around, and his brows were still tightly furrowed.

"Xiao San, are you really sure you want to absorb a soul beast with evil attributes?" Flander pushed up his crystal glasses, his tone revealing deep worry and confusion.

After searching for so long, Tang San had seen quite a few ordinary poisonous and tough plant-type soul beasts, but he shook his head and refused them all. Not to mention that evil soul beasts were relatively rare in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San met Flander's gaze and nodded: "Dean, I'm sure. This is what I need."

Seeing Tang San's stubborn gaze, Flander sighed helplessly. He knew this kid's temper; it was just like his teacher's. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

"Alright, since you're determined, let's continue the search." Flander turned to look at Zhao Wuji beside him.

"Old Zhao, you stay down here and lead the children to form a defensive formation and advance slowly. Be careful to protect Rongrong and Xiao Ao. The ground visibility is too limited, so I'll fly up into the sky to search. That way, it'll be more efficient."

"Don't worry, Boss Fu, with me here, nothing will go wrong." Zhao Wuji patted his chest, standing like an iron tower at the front of the group.

Without another word, Flander spread his wings and soared into the sky, piercing through the dense canopy and arriving above the forest. Using the four-eyed owl's vision, he began a thorough search of the surrounding area.

On the ground, the team continued to move forward cautiously.

Tang San walked in the middle of the group, his right hand tightly holding Xiao Wu's. But he keenly sensed that Xiao Wu had been acting very strangely lately.

Xiao Wu's palms were sweaty, and her gaze wandered, occasionally passing over the shadows of the trees, as if searching for something.

Her eyes were filled with deep worry, anxiety, and even a hint of sadness. She seemed absent-minded and almost tripped over tree roots several times.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?" Tang San squeezed her hand slightly and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Wu trembled like a startled rabbit, quickly regaining her composure and forcing a smile: "No...nothing, brother, I just felt a bit stuffy here."

Tang San looked at her pale face and sighed inwardly.

He naturally didn't know that Xiao Wu was anxious because of Da Ming's disappearance. He subconsciously thought that it was because of the terrifying Titan Giant Ape Er Ming who forcibly abducted her in the Star Dou Great Forest that left a serious psychological shadow on her mind.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will never let any spirit beast hurt you again." Tang San secretly vowed in his heart. At the same time, his urgency to find the spirit ring became even stronger. He wanted to end this spirit hunting operation as soon as possible and quickly take Xiao Wu away from this sad place that filled her with fear.

About half an hour later, a sharp eagle cry suddenly came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow descended from the sky and crashed onto the open ground in front of everyone with a muffled thud.

It was a strangely shaped soul beast.

It looks like a large black wolf, but its fur is as if it were rotting, and it has a dark gray color.

What's even more unsettling is that it emits a strong stench and its eyes gleam with a sinister green light.

This was the evil-attribute soul beast that Flander had forcibly captured from a dark swamp—the Soul-Devouring Yin Fiend Wolf.

Flander folded his wings and landed to the side. Pointing to the wolf beast on the ground, which he had beaten to the point of near death, he said to Tang San, "Little San, look at this one. This is a Soul-Devouring Yin Fiend Wolf, with evil and corrosive attributes. I've carefully examined its age; it's probably around 6,700 years old, definitely less than 7,000 years."

Flander paused for a moment, "Its attributes perfectly match your requirements, and while its age of 6,700 years still exceeds the safety limit of the fourth ring, it's still within a relatively safe range that you can try. If it's any higher, I don't recommend you absorb it."
