The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

"Dean, I want milk, and I'll need one Silver Soul Coin," the chubby boy said to one of the middle-aged men wearing glasses.

"Didn't I ask the innkeeper? They don't have milk, and it costs a Silver Soul Coin." The bespectacled dean glared and said.

"But there's a boy over there drinking milk too. He said he wants one silver coin per bottle," the chubby boy continued, explaining that he had come in from the restroom and happened to see Duan Yufan drinking milk.

"Hey little fatty, this won't do. You're over six years old and you still want to drink milk," said a boy a little older than the chubby boy.

"Daddy, haha! There's someone your age who still likes to drink milk." Yan laughed.

"What's wrong with me drinking milk? I want to grow taller." Duan Yufan took another sip; the bottle contained about 500 milliliters.

"Well! No wonder he's only eight years old, still so childish." Hu Liena looked on with a wry smile.

"Please, Dean, I'm feeling unwell," the chubby boy said to his dean.

“Alright! After you get your first spirit ring, register it with the Spirit Hall and collect the money. I'll keep it for you,” the chubby boy’s dean suggested.

“Okay, Dean.” The chubby boy agreed.

Then he brought the chubby boy to Duan Yufan and the others.

"Young man, do you still have any milk?" the chubby boy's dean asked Duan Yufan.

"And one more! One Silver Soul Coin per bottle." Duan Yufan looked at the chubby boy, the dean, who seemed somewhat familiar.

"Look, how about this? Ten copper soul coins, and I'll take you into the Star Dou Forest. I suppose you're all here to hunt for soul rings too," the chubby boy's dean continued, offering his suggestion.

"No need! We'll enter the Star Dou Forest ourselves. Do you want one silver soul coin? If not, that's fine too." Xie Yue coldly refused on Duan Yu Fan's behalf.

“Young man, don’t be so impulsive. It’s good to make new friends when you’re out and about. Besides, Star Dou Forest is very dangerous. I wonder which academy you four are from?” The chubby boy’s dean continued to persuade him.

"Uncle! I'm not lying to you. I spent one silver soul coin on this bottle of milk. It's impossible for me to lose money on you. As for you taking us into the Star Dou Forest, that's unnecessary." Duan Yufan was getting a little annoyed with this middle-aged man with glasses. Although he looked familiar, he didn't recognize him, which meant he was definitely an unimportant person.

"Alright then! Give my student a bottle." The chubby dean sensed Duan Yufan's impatient tone, and considering the four men's distinguished attire, he didn't say anything more.

"Here you go." Duan Yufan took out a bottle and handed it over, also taking a silver soul coin with him.

"Hey chubby boy, here you go!" The chubby boy's dean checked that it was brand new and unopened, handed it to the chubby boy, and then led him back to his own table.

"What a strange combination," Hu Liena muttered.

Soon the food the four of them ordered was served, and they immediately started eating, no longer paying attention to what had just happened.

Thirty-eight: First Encounter with Shrek Academy

Early in the morning, Duan Yufan and his three companions began their journey into the Star Dou Forest.

Star Dou Forest is home to a wide variety of soul beasts, making it the place with the most soul beasts in the Douluo Continent. You can find any type of soul beast you want here.

However, the Star Dou Forest is also a vast area, and it takes a lot of time to find a suitable soul beast. If you're lucky, it can take one or two days, but if you're unlucky, it could take ten days or half a month.

"Play around as you please, but once you enter the Star Dou Forest, be extra careful. There are all kinds of elusive spirit beasts, and if you're careless and get ambushed, you'll be in big trouble." Xie Yue had already taken out his spirit sword, Moon Blade, and two Moon Blade spirit swords, and gave the three of them these instructions.

This is what a weapon spirit master is like! Summoning it and holding it in your hand requires almost no spirit power.

"Yes! The main problem is being targeted and followed by Soul Masters, who can finish you off when you're weak. So, besides guarding against Soul Beasts, you also need to be constantly aware of whether you're being followed," Duan Yufan added.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan formed a triangle formation, with Duan Yufan standing in the center of the triangle.

Ahead was Xie Yue, to his left was Yan, and to his right was Hu Liena, about five meters apart. After arranging the positions, they officially stepped into the Star Dou Forest.

This trip was for Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena to obtain their fourth soul rings. On the way here, they had already roughly determined the type of soul beast they were looking for.

Xie Yue planned to acquire a powerful single-target attack soul skill, so he targeted soul beasts with extremely high attack power, such as Wolverines or Saber-toothed Tigers.

Yan can only target soul beasts that are fire-attribute, preferably rare and powerful fire-attribute soul beasts.

Hu Liena's attack methods are mainly based on charm, targeting soul beasts that enhance mental power or mental power attack. This type of soul beast is the rarest.

Because Bibi Dong had set a target of no less than a seven-thousand-year-old soul beast for the three of them, the group moved forward rapidly, heading deeper into the area.

Soul beasts have a sense of territory. The deeper into the Star Dou Forest, the older the soul beasts are. The outer areas only have some that are ten or a hundred years old. Naturally, Duan Yufan and his group do not need to stay in the outer areas.

After traveling for about an hour, the number of spirit beasts around them decreased, but the ones they encountered were getting older.

"Stop! We're almost there, let's slow down." Xie Yue led the way, observing the situation and instructing Duan Yu Fan and the other two to slow down.

Although they had only been there for an hour, the group had been running and moving quickly, so they had probably already covered more than ten kilometers.

"There's movement on the right side, it looks like someone's there," Duan Yufan warned.

Why was it Duan Yufan who reminded the three of this? Because Duan Yufan had consumed the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew Immortal Grass," and his spiritual power was two realms higher than Xie Yue and the other two. Only Hu Liena's spiritual power was possibly infinitely close to the level of a Soul King.

"Should we go take a look?" Hu Liena asked.

"It's better to avoid trouble. There's no need. Let's continue searching for our own soul beasts." Yan disagreed.

"Huh! They're coming." Duan Yufan sensed four auras approaching him.

"Let's wait and see, and move closer." Xie Yue said, and came to within a meter of Duan Yufan. Yan and Hu Liena also quickly moved closer.

"It's them!" It turned out to be the strange group I'd only met briefly last night.

"What a coincidence! I see you all again. Where is your teacher? Why did you send a few of you to obtain your third spirit rings?" The chubby boy's dean, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, appeared in front of Duan Yufan with his men.

"Haha! It's you guys. The academy made us train on our own, so there were no teachers to guide us. I just reached level 20, and the three older ones are trying to get their third spirit rings." Duan Yufan smiled amicably and replied casually.

"You do have talent. You should only be eight years old, right? I think the other three are around 13. How could we let such talented children come to Star Dou Forest? There are thousands of thousand-year-old soul beasts all around." The chubby boy's dean chuckled, clearly having a problem with the teachers.

"That's why I say it's training. If you're just being led by a teacher, how can it be considered training?" Duan Yufan replied casually.

"Good! That's bold! Which academy are you from? Why don't you come to my academy? You barely meet the admission requirements, otherwise how can you few hunt thousand-year-old soul beasts?" The chubby boy's dean actually tried to win over Duan Yufan and his group.

"We're from Canghui Academy. I wonder which academy this uncle is from? With my level 20 soul power at eight years old, I barely meet the admission requirements." Duan Yufan suppressed a laugh when he heard the fat boy's words and asked curiously.

"I know Canghui Academy. It's not that great. Our academy is known for only accepting geniuses who are like monsters. It's called Shrek Academy. I am Flander, the dean of this academy. Right now, we only have these two students you see. But our academy has two Soul Saints and three Soul Emperors. How about that? Our teaching staff is about the same as your Canghui Academy."

The fat boy's dean turned out to be the dean of Shrek Academy. Duan Yufan wondered why he looked so familiar. The burly but short boy behind him was Zhao Wuji. Could these two kids be Oscar and Ma Hongjun?

"Shrek Academy? Only two students? Uh, Dean, forgive my ignorance, I've never heard of it." Duan Yufan said speechlessly.

"Hey, friend, because we at Shrek Academy only accept monsters, we only have two students. My name is Oscar, I'm nine years old, and I just got my second spirit ring, so I'm already a level 21 Great Spirit Master," Oscar, with curly hair, called out from behind.

"Pfft! Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh." Hu Liena couldn't help but laugh out loud, but when she saw Duan Yufan and her brother looking over, she stopped laughing.

"Little brother, you're amazing! You're a level 21 Great Soul Master at just 9 years old!" Hu Liena said to Oscar, her voice becoming alluring.

"Ah! So beautiful, so pretty!" Oscar and the chubby boy exclaimed at the same time.

"Wow! What amazing seductive skills," said the burly man next to Oscar and the fat boy.

That's right, it was Hu Liena who revealed a small part of her alluring power.

"Wake up!" The burly man Zhao Wuji saw that Oscar and the fat boy were still asleep and were even drooling, so he had no choice but to wake them up.

After waking up, the two of them hid behind Zhao Wuji, still shaken.

"How embarrassing!" Zhao Wuji couldn't help but say to the two people behind him.

"This uncle doesn't seem to be much of a monster as you call him!" Hu Liena said softly.

“Fox spirit! How can you talk like that? You’re a few years older than them, so it’s normal for them to be a little less capable than you. I’m sorry! Dean Shrek, my junior sister is a bit mischievous.” Xie Yue quickly interjected to explain to Flander.

"I feel like you guys are playing me for a fool." Flander's face darkened as he stared at Duan Yufan and the other three.

At the same time, he released his soul power to put pressure on the four people, but Flander paused slightly and withdrew his aura.

“Since you are all unwilling to join my Shrek Academy, then we will take our leave. Zhao Wuji, let’s go.” Flander called to Zhao Wuji and the two students, and then walked towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest.

“It’s really strange,” Hu Liena said, repeating the same thing again.

"Let's go too, forget about it, finding your spirit rings is more important," Duan Yufan said, and the four of them continued to stand their positions and ventured deeper into the forest.

"Boss Flander, why did you stop? You were clearly toying with us," Zhao Wuji asked Flander, puzzled.

"Just as I was about to put pressure on those kids, I was locked onto by an extremely powerful aura, at least at level 85 or higher in the Contra series," Flander said solemnly, describing the aura he had just sensed.

"No wonder, I knew it was impossible to let a few children into the Star Dou Forest for no reason. Could it be the dean of Canghui Academy?" Zhao Wuji suddenly realized.

"I don't know, never mind, let's finish what we're doing and go back to the academy." Flander said, then walked straight towards the outer perimeter.

Thirty-nine Splendid Mystic Butterflies

Shhhhhhhhhh

Several voices came from a small patch of flowers and grass, which was full of orange, purple, and red wildflowers.

In the Starry Forest, there is a small, flat patch of flowers and grass besides the trees, covering an area of ​​about 200 square meters.

The sound came from Duan Yufan and his group of four. The reason they were here was because Hu Liena smelled the fragrance of flowers.

More than an hour after Flanders and his group left, Duan Yufan and his group continued their journey deeper into the area, and Hu Liena smelled the fragrance of flowers.

Hu Liena recalled a type of spirit beast, the Colorful Enchanting Butterfly, which loved the scent of flowers and the morning dew on flower petals. Because Hu Liena needed to research and find information about spirit beasts that matched her martial soul in the library in preparation for various spirit rings in the future.

A gentle breeze swept past Hu Liena and her companions. Hu Liena smelled something and stopped in her tracks.

"Wait! I smell pollen in the wind. There's a patch of wildflowers in the forest. This reminds me of a soul beast that likes to live around large areas of wildflowers, the Spectral Bewitching Butterfly. It's one of the soul beasts that's very suitable for my martial soul." Hu Liena gestured to Duan Yu and the other two, explaining the reason.

"That's great! We've found a soul beast that matches our needs. Let's head in the direction the breeze is coming from," Duan Yufan said immediately upon hearing the explanation.

"Good luck! We got the news so quickly. Let's go take a look. Hopefully, the soul beast is old enough." Yan said with a happy smile.

The four of them walked against the wind to the scene at the beginning, and saw a field of wildflowers and weeds, and stopped.

"This should be it. These wildflowers are quite pretty," Hu Liena said, looking at the patch of wildflowers.

The wildflowers and weeds were so tall that they reached waist height.

"The Splendid Enchanted Butterfly Soul Beast isn't very big. A thousand-year-old level Soul Beast should be about one meter tall. As for its appearance, it's a butterfly with several colors combined. I don't know if it's still here. Look carefully," Hu Liena described the Soul Beast's appearance.

With a whoosh, the sound of stepping into the wildflower area and parting the grass, Duan Yufan and his companions stepped into the grass and began their search for the Colorful Mystic Butterfly.

"Everyone, pay attention! The Spectral Bewitching Butterfly, as its name suggests, can confuse mental energy," Hu Liena warned.

Duan Yufan and his three companions slowly approached the center of the wildflower area, maintaining a distance of more than two meters between them, as they noticed that the grass was getting taller and taller as they went deeper into the area.

As Yan walked, he found himself in a world full of flowers, colorful and vibrant, and gradually lost himself.

A brightly colored butterfly stared at Yan from in front of her.
