Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

If everyone's soul power level increases at this rate, wouldn't Tang San have spent all his time forging iron in Notting City for the past six years?

Compared to the plot of the book, the improvement speed of the little monsters that Chen Luo is currently seeing is relatively normal.

Before reaching the Soul Master level, one can advance three to four levels per year. After reaching the Soul Master level, one can advance two levels per year. The further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes, and it basically depends on talent.

Those with good talent will advance two levels per year before reaching the Soul Saint level, while those with relatively average talent will advance one level per year, one level per two years, or one level per three years. It is normal for most people to remain stagnant.

As for those who reach the Soul Saint level, they are all talented individuals. Without talent, it's impossible to reach the Soul Saint level. However, at this point, talent varies depending on the circumstances...

These are all under the condition of not having opportunities. If you are lucky enough to get opportunities, the situation will be different.

Therefore, most Soul Masters will choose to travel the continent after reaching a certain level, increasing their experience while also looking for opportunities.

After washing up, Chen Luo went out.

Liu Erlong was already waiting at the entrance, and the two walked together toward the academy gate.

Passing by the teachers' dormitory, I happened to run into Flanders, who was coming out.

Liu Erlong laughed and said, "Brother Fu, isn't the environment in my courtyard good enough? Why do you have to come to the teachers' dormitory?"

Flander gave Liu Erlong and Chen Luo a somewhat annoyed look: "I just didn't want to disturb your time together. Besides, the teachers' dormitory is much better."

Chen Luo asked, "Are all the little monsters going?"

Flander nodded: "Yes, hunting soul beasts in the Soul Beast Forest is a good experience for them. Of course, more importantly, they all want to take the opportunity to see Tang San."

Chen Luo said, "I did tell Dugu Bo last time that I would bring more people to see Tang San this time, but if there are too many people, I'm afraid Dugu Bo will be unhappy."

Flander said, "There aren't many people. Besides, Dugu Bo's complexion is much better than when we first met, and his attitude towards us has been getting better each time. Tang San must have made some contributions. What's wrong with seeing his companions?"

Chen Luo nodded slightly.

"It's been almost half a year already, and Tang San still hasn't returned?" Liu Erlong frowned slightly.

Chen Luo said, "It should be soon. Maybe we can bring Tang San back this time."

Flanders laughed and said, "That would be the best, of course."

During their conversation, Chen Luo and the other two arrived at the school gate, where Dai Mubai was already waiting.

"Dean!"

"master!"

Upon seeing Chen Luo and the other two arrive, Dai Mubai immediately greeted them with a smile, but paused slightly when he looked at Liu Erlong.

"...Dean Erlong!"

“What about the others?” Flanders asked.

Dai Mubai said, "You guys are having breakfast across the street, so you probably haven't eaten either. Let's go over and grab something to eat together."

Chen Luo and the others nodded gently.

After breakfast, the group immediately set off for Sunset Forest.

Chapter 130 Golden Leopard

Sunset Forest.

"Found it, a golden leopard that's about 5,000 years old. It would be perfect for Mu Bai."

Flander's figure suddenly appeared on the treetop, a smile on his face.

At this moment, Shrek Academy and his group were resting in a relatively open area. Upon hearing that a suitable soul beast for Dai Mubai had been found, Ma Hongjun, who was just about to eat something to replenish his energy, immediately got up.

"Yuan-di, it's time to get to work!!"

Ma Hongjun seemed more eager than anyone else, and he was always like this, especially when Yu Xiuyuan was around. This chubby guy would never miss any opportunity to show off in front of his younger brother.

The others also got to work, and Dai Mubai looked excited: "Thank you all for your hard work later!"

“Brother Dai, there’s no point in saying that. We’re all family, there’s no such thing as hardship or not.”

Oscar laughed and then distributed the sausages he had just prepared to everyone.

Yu Xiuyuan had already spurred his white snake to scout ahead, with Zhu Zhuqing following closely behind. As an agility-type Soul Master in the team, gathering intelligence was her duty.

“Let’s go, Xiao Wu!” Dai Mubai said.

Xiao Wu nodded gently, and the two of them moved forward quickly together. As the offensive-type Soul Master in the team, she would have to take the lead later.

Xiao Wu has been rather quiet lately, for no other reason than that she hasn't seen Tang San in a long time and is very worried about him.

As always, Ma Hongjun was responsible for protecting the back row and had become the team's ranged damage dealer, moving forward alongside Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

Chen Luo, Flander, Liu Erlong, and the other two watched silently, staying close to the little monsters.

Flander omitted the process of finding the spirit beasts for them, but the process of killing the spirit beasts was something they had to do themselves.

After crossing the open area they were in, the little monsters quickly entered a dense forest.

Yu Xiuyuan's white snake and Zhu Zhuqing had already spotted their target. The white snake was hiding behind a tree, while Zhu Zhuqing had climbed to the treetop.

About a hundred meters ahead, a mountain leopard, its body mostly golden with black spots, was lazily stretching, completely unaware of the danger that was approaching.

It is the Golden Leopard, about five meters long, with solid muscles all over its body, sharp claws and teeth, and eerie dark blue eyes.

A distance of 100 meters is just the limit of the golden leopard's ability to sense danger in this dense forest. Of course, even if Yu Xiuyuan and Zhu Zhuqing get any closer, the golden leopard will not be afraid in the slightest. In the golden leopard's eyes, Yu Xiuyuan and the others are just synonyms for weakness and prey.

Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu had already arrived, their footsteps very light.

Yu Xiuyuan said in a low voice, "It is indeed a golden leopard, around five thousand years old. Golden leopards have a near-perfect physique, are good at close combat, and have natural advantages in strength and speed."

"After Boss Dai activates his Martial Soul Possession, he should be able to hold it off for a while. I will control the White Snake to limit it as much as possible."

"Sister Xiaowu, find an opportunity to charm and control the Golden Leopard as much as possible. Remember one thing: never act impulsively. Although you are good at dealing with power-type opponents, the Golden Leopard's strength has exceeded your limits. Only Boss Dai in our team can barely withstand it."

"Sister Zhuqing, just use your speed advantage to your advantage."

"Sister Rongrong, give the strength boost to Boss Dai and the speed boost to Sister Zhuqing. Ignore everything else. Just use the soul skills as soon as they can be used. I believe you can handle any special circumstances very well."

"As for Little Brother Ao, make more recovery sausages; we don't need mushroom sausages."

"Fatty, go for it! I have faith in your abilities!"

Ma Hongjun smiled slightly: "Trusting your Fatty brother is the right thing to do!"

When Tang San was not around, Yu Xiuyuan was the main commander of the team. After becoming Chen Luo's apprentice, he learned the most about soul masters and soul beasts from Chen Luo.

Although the other little monsters share the books Chen Luo has collected, giving them a book to read on their own is completely different from having someone explain and teach them.

Chen Luo not only teaches the knowledge in the book, but also combines it with actual combat to help Yu Xiuyuan develop a very good combat mindset.

"Finally, one thing everyone must pay attention to is whether the Golden Leopard shows any signs of emitting golden light. If that happens, retreat immediately, even if you are about to kill it. That is the Golden Leopard's innate skill, Golden Meteor Shower, which is extremely powerful and beyond our ability to withstand."

Once the battle plan was set, the little monsters began their operation.

Dai Mubai rushed forward, quickly attracting the attention of the golden leopard. Yu Xiuyuan's white snake was already in hiding, Xiao Wu was looking for a suitable opportunity, and Zhu Zhuqing was ready to attack at any time.

Battles are ever-changing; once you have a basic battle strategy, it all comes down to your ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Just as Dai Mubai was about to encounter the Golden Leopard, Xiao Wu suddenly rushed out, her second soul ring glowing as she activated her charm, causing the Golden Leopard to pause. Xiao Wu also let out a muffled groan before immediately using teleportation to leave.

Yu Xiuyuan's white snake seized the opportunity and immediately coiled around the golden leopard's body. At this moment, Dai Mubai also rushed up and collided with the golden leopard.

Things progressed much more smoothly than expected. Xiao Wu's adventurous team fight provided the team with better combat opportunities, putting Golden Leopard on the defensive from the very beginning.

Then came the moment for everyone to unleash their attacks. Zhu Zhuqing took action, her sharp claws landing on the golden leopard, instantly tearing its skin and flesh.

Although the Golden Leopard excels in speed and strength, defense is not its forte. However, it is, after all, a spirit beast with a lifespan of about five thousand years, so it is not so easy to seriously injure it.

But that's okay, we still have the main damage dealer Ma Hongjun coming up.

Ma Hongjun started with Phoenix Fire Line, and then continued to attack with his Phoenix Flame.

While the others were taking action, Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda continuously flashed with light, and beams of light constantly fell on Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, providing them with a powerful boost.

Oscar was also constantly making sausages to provide supplies for his teammates.

Yu Xiuyuan's white snake was clearly unable to restrain the five-thousand-year-old golden leopard for long. In just a few exchanges, the white snake was torn to shreds by the golden leopard, but the golden leopard was in even worse shape, its body covered in wounds.

Yu Xiuyuan's strength is limited after all, and it is already quite good that he can play a certain role in limiting the opponent. The White Snake was injured, and he also received the feedback, becoming the first to be defeated, but he has already played his role.

Ma Hongjun and the other main damage dealers unleashed their soul skills relentlessly upon the Golden Leopard, which quickly became overwhelmed. Dai Mubai, however, held on tenaciously, refusing to retreat an inch...

Chapter 131 Tang San Returns

"Phoenix Wings Soaring Through the Sky!"

Ma Hongjun let out a low shout, and his third soul ring suddenly lit up. Then, a pair of fiery wings stretched out from his back.

With a gentle flap of his fiery wings, Ma Hongjun was lifted into the air.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Hongjun's second spirit ring suddenly lit up, and flames instantly enveloped Ma Hongjun's body, greatly enhancing his aura.

"Phoenix Fireline!!!"

Ma Hongjun's first spirit ring flashed for the last time, and then Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and spat out a flame ray as thick as an arm, carrying terrifying heat and terrible destructive power towards the golden leopard.

Phoenix Wings Soaring: Temporarily grants the ability to fly, while simultaneously igniting the second soul skill, instantly increasing the phoenix flames by 100% and the attack range by approximately 50%.

This is Ma Hongjun's third soul skill, which can achieve extremely high burst damage in a short period of time.

The Phoenix Fire Line landed precisely on the Golden Leopard, but Dai Mubai had already retreated a second before it hit, thus avoiding being accidentally injured.

This wasn't the first time Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had worked together, and they had a certain level of understanding between them.

"boom!!!"

Flames instantly rose from the golden leopard's body, almost igniting every part of it, causing the leopard to scream in agony.

The others didn't make a move after seeing this, because if they did, it would likely result in someone stealing their kill.

In just a moment, the Golden Leopard lost its fighting ability. Ma Hongjun quickly went over to drive away the remaining flames, and Dai Mubai also immediately stepped forward to deliver the final blow.

"Pfft!!!"

Dai Mubai's claws pierced the golden leopard's neck, and hot blood slowly gushed out. The golden leopard breathed its last, and a purple soul ring slowly rose from beneath its corpse.

If Dai Mubai had acted a few dozen seconds later, Ma Hongjun would have been the one to kill the golden leopard.

"Phew, Boss Dai finally made it, otherwise I would have been a sinner..." Ma Hongjun patted his chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
