Douluo Continent: My life is ruined, but I become stronger by taking on disciples.

Chapter 63 The Game of Hunting and Being Hunted

In the frozen forest, Lan Minghua poked the paw of the ice crystal snow bear on the fire with a freshly shaved wooden stick.

As the bear paws roasted over the campfire, the fat sizzled and danced on their surface.

Some of the grease dripped onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound.

This was the first time Lan Minghua had ever cooked with such high-end ingredients, and he didn't know how to tell if they were ready to eat.

"Braised to a crispy exterior and tender interior, with my secret barbecue sauce, it should be perfect, right?"

Lan Minghua, somewhat uncertainly, inserted a wooden skewer into Kuku's steaming bear paw, lifted it up, and brought it to his mouth.

I smelled it, then opened my mouth and took a bite.

With a snap, teeth sank into the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside meat.

In an instant, the scalding hot meat juices burst in my mouth, and the rich aroma instantly filled my entire oral cavity.

That unique, mellow flavor, carrying a hint of the wildness of the mountains and forests, instantly dispelled the chill in his body.

Seeing Lan Minghua enjoying his meal, Oscar and the other three couldn't wait to pick up the roasted bear meat and start eating as well.

Lan Minghua waited until they had all taken a bite of the bear meat before spitting out the burnt piece and muttering, "It's a bit overcooked."

Oscar and his three companions, who had just happily started eating bear meat, suddenly felt a bitter taste in their mouths and spat out the imported bear meat.

"This...this tastes terrible! Master, it's not just a little bit too much, it's burnt!"

Oscar stared in disbelief at the charred bear meat in his hand.

Zhu Zhuqing and the other two girls never expected that their master could roast a bear paw like this.

Lan Minghua rolled his eyes. It was his first time handling these things, so it was normal for them to burn a little.

"Hmm." Suddenly, Lan Minghua sensed three auras and looked up at the outer edge of the frozen forest.

"Are these people from the Upper Three Sects or the Spirit Hall? They actually dare to come looking for trouble? Do they really want to be like the Calabash Brothers?"

Although these three auras were not weak, they were still too weak for Lan Minghua.

However, it was quickly determined that this was not someone from the Upper Three Sects.

Since these three auras have all reached the level of Title Douluo, the three upper sects would not be foolish enough to send their Title Douluo to their deaths.

Therefore, Lan Minghua could deduce that the visitors were either from the Spirit Hall or the Hall of Offerings.

It's very simple; Bibi Dong must have learned about Lan Minghua's strength from Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

If he were simply to let the owners of these three auras attack and kill him, it would be like offering himself up as cannon fodder.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: the people from the Hall of Offerings made the move.

Seeing Lan Minghua lost in thought, Oscar quietly threw away the charred bear meat in his hand and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?"

Lan Minghua snapped out of his daze and said to the four of them, "It's time to give you a taste of your strength. Flowers in a greenhouse can't become true powerhouses."

Upon hearing this, Oscar and his three companions became alert.

Lan Minghua tossed aside the bear paw in his hand, his expression more serious than ever before, and said to the four, "From now on, you need to cooperate and try to survive in the Frozen Forest. This is a game of hunter and hunted. If you don't meet my requirements, even if your lives are in danger, I will not come to your rescue."

Lan Minghua has always protected them too well, which has prevented them from truly experiencing life-or-death situations.

They're level 40, possessing a certain level of self-defense ability; it's time for them to experience what true cruelty is.

Now that we are in a frozen forest, with titled Douluo outside, isn't this the perfect training ground?

This was the first time Oscar had seen Lan Minghua with such a serious expression. He swallowed hard, not daring to refute.

The three women, including Zhu Zhuqing, understood that this was a test given to them by Lan Minghua.

Lan Minghua was satisfied to see that the four of them did not shout or make a fuss.

At least they haven't been protected like hothouse flowers yet, and they still have the determination to become stronger.

"Alright, I hereby declare the game of hunting and being hunted open! I hope you won't disappoint me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Minghua's figure disappeared beside the campfire without leaving a trace.

"No, Master, please don't abandon me!"

Oscar suddenly knelt down in the snow and wept bitterly, and the background music "Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling" appeared out of nowhere beside him.

Seeing Oscar start to have another brain fart, Zhu Zhuqing didn't hold back and kicked him hard.

With a thud, Oscar was kicked into the snowdrift.

"Let's discuss how we can satisfy the teacher. Otherwise, with our abilities, there's no way we can survive in the Frozen Forest."

Upon hearing this, Oscar stopped joking around and reluctantly joined the discussion.

As the eldest among them, Dugu Yan said softly, "Master said this is a game of hunting and being hunted. Does that mean we're going to hunt soul beasts?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Zhuqing spoke up: "It is indeed possible, after all, Master has set requirements for us."

The requirements were not specified, but they were indeed stated by Lan Minghua himself.

If his demands are not met, he will not help even if it means death.

This is a problem that must be solved, otherwise they will not be able to survive in this game of hunting and being hunted.

The four then began to discuss how they could meet Lan Minghua's requirements.

Lan Minghua was right above them, but the wind and snow obstructed their view.

The latest novel is first published here!

Of course, he couldn't just leave them unprotected and let them face a Title Douluo head-on.

Lan Minghua flicked his finger at Oscar and the other three below, and four sword energies silently entered their bodies.

They were completely unaware.

After ensuring their safety, Lan Minghua didn't rest and began searching for the Mirror Shadow Beast, which had existed for ten thousand years.

With his sword energy present, two of the three auras were unable to harm them.

As for that strongest aura, he might not even bother to make a move against Oscar and other level 40 Soul Masters.

"Good luck to you four." Lan Minghua glanced at Oscar and the other three one last time before leaving.

This kind of training is more direct and convenient than fighting in some big arena.

After all, in this situation, they have to resort to any means to survive.

Either you die or I die!

After Lan Minghua left, the wind and snow howled even more, and the vanished soul beasts began to move.

The reason why the spirit beasts didn't attack when the bear meat was being roasted wasn't because they didn't want to, but because they were afraid.

Because of Lan Minghua's presence, the soul beasts dared not make any moves.

Sure enough, no sooner had he left than pairs of beast eyes glowing red appeared around the camp.

Upon realizing their surroundings, Oscar and his companions quickly huddled back to back to protect themselves and their friends.

Meng Yiran is from a family of exotic beasts, and she knows more about soul beasts than Oscar and others.

Looking at the wolves, their bodies entirely silver-blue and their eyes like ice crystals, he spoke up to warn them.

"Everyone be careful, these are Howling Moon Wolves. Although they are only a thousand years old, when their numbers are large, their collective roar can cause a blizzard."

Oscar asked, "Fourth Junior Sister, how can we better conserve our energy?"

Meng Yiran made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice, "Break through in one direction and then fight a guerrilla war with them."

"Alright, you all follow behind me, prepare to break through!"

In an instant, Oscar was bathed in golden light, looking like a little golden statuette.

Then, like a cannonball, it broke through to the weakest point of the Howling Moon Wolf pack.

Zhu Zhuqing and the other two women also used their unique abilities to block the oncoming Cold Howling Moon Wolves.

These centuries-old to millennia-old Frost Howling Wolves were utterly unable to stop Oscar and his companions from breaking through.

But the wolves were very patient, and soon they all followed.

Meanwhile, the three Lion Douluo also entered the Frozen Forest.

Just as they were worrying about how to find Lan Minghua and the others, they suddenly sensed a subtle fluctuation of soul power.

The Lion Douluo's gaze fell on a spot, and he said in a deep voice, "Found it. She Long, Ci Xue, you two go scout ahead!"
