Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

"Boss Dai, Brother Feng, Tang San, I have good news for you. I've broken through to level 30."

"Congratulations! Our academy will have two more Soul Masters now." Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with amazement, and Chen Feng and Tang San also congratulated Oscar.

"Two Soul Masters?" Oscar's gaze instinctively fell on Chen Feng. "Brother Feng, you broke through too?"

“Yes.” Chen Feng smiled.

"My goodness, you're amazing!" Oscar exclaimed sincerely. "You've truly succeeded in both academic pursuits and professional development."

Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow. "You know his identity?"

“That’s right.” Oscar rubbed his nose with his thumb and said smugly:

"I figured it out myself, wasn't that amazing? Fatty thought Brother Feng was the dean's illegitimate son. If I hadn't reminded him, he probably would never have guessed it in his life."

"It's amazing he even came up with this idea," Dai Mubai said speechlessly. "But you and Fatty should keep it to yourselves, don't go around telling everyone."

“Perfect, I already told Fatty that.” Oscar gave a thumbs up.

As the group chatted, the others arrived at the cafeteria one after another, introduced themselves to Dai Mubai, and got to know each other for the first time.

After everyone arrived, Chen Feng brought up the topic of names again. Dai Mubai didn't care much about it, so the nine of them officially decided to be named Hydra.

And so, in a simple little canteen, the Hydra Organization, which would later become famous, was founded.

After breakfast, everyone went to the playground for class.

The person who taught them this time was Flander, who had just returned. The lesson consisted of eating the food summoned by Oscar, which Flander called adaptive training.

Everyone found this bizarre training content somewhat difficult. Apart from Chen Feng, who ate with relish, the others forced themselves to swallow it while holding their noses.

After Flander tasted Oscar's tofu, he immediately sensed the change in the tofu and learned that Oscar had broken through to level 30.

With Chen Feng, who had also broken through to level 30, Flander immediately decided that Zhao Wuji would lead the nine of them to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls a day later.

Chapter 99 Smuggling in Personal Intentions

The reason Flanders wanted to send all nine students together this time was so that they could all gain experience and at the same time cultivate their tacit understanding, so that they could truly become a whole.

After class, everyone went their separate ways to make the necessary preparations for the Soul Hunt and began to cultivate as soon as possible.

The breakthroughs of Chen Feng and Oscar brought a great deal of excitement to everyone. One of them was a food-type soul master who was known for his slow cultivation speed, and the other was a weapon-type soul master who did not have the support of the Foundation Establishment Ring.

Moreover, this artifact-type Soul Master also devoted a considerable amount of his energy to academic research and achieved great success.

In this situation, the fact that Chen Feng and Oscar's cultivation levels were still ahead of most people made everyone else feel a sense of urgency.

To describe it in one sentence, they're all rolled up.

However, Dai Mubai was not in a hurry to cultivate, because he had just returned from hunting souls and needed to relax a little. After all, a string stretched too tight will break.

Chen Feng didn't want to cultivate at the moment. His mind was full of planning for this Soul Hunt, so he had no interest in cultivating and simply chatted with Dai Mubai.

From their conversation, Chen Feng learned about the effect of Dai Mubai's fourth spirit ring.

Dai Mubai's fourth soul skill has not yet been named, but its effect is outstanding. It can form an invisible wind energy shield on Dai Mubai's body.

The difference between this soul skill and the White Tiger Protective Barrier is that this wind energy shield is permanent, and it also has another unique feature.

That is, when this invisible shield is attacked, the wind energy attached to it will become violent.

When this ferocity accumulates to a certain level, Dai Mubai can unleash it as a ranged attack, and its destructive power is extremely strong when the shield is fully charged.

In other words, this is a soul skill that combines both offense and defense.

Chen Feng felt a sense of déjà vu from the effect of this soul skill, and he said:

"Brother Dai, you haven't named this soul skill yet, have you?"

“Yes, I originally wanted to call it the White Tiger's Fierce Storm, but it felt like it was missing something,” Dai Mubai said, stroking his chin.

"In that case, how about I help you come up with a name?" Chen Feng asked.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Deliberately unleashed punch, what do you think of this name?" Chen Feng smiled.

“Deliberately unleashed punch… Not bad, this name suits my fourth soul skill very well.” Dai Mubai nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Feng and Dai Mubai walked and talked on the playground, discussing Dai Mubai's experience of hunting souls.

From Dai Mubai's explanation, Chen Feng gained a certain understanding of Storm Canyon, which will help him obtain the soul ring corresponding to the Xun trigram after his Xun trigram is repaired.

As for the Zhen hexagram this time, there's no need to go there. The target soul beast that Chen Feng chose can be found in the Star Dou Great Forest. Just go with the main group.

Another morning.

Zhao Wuji was already waiting there when the students had prepared their belongings and gathered on the playground.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhao Wuji coughed lightly and said, "Alright, everyone, let's get going. Mu Bai, you lead the team."

Dai Mubai nodded, his expression turning serious, and said in a solemn tone:

"The Star Dou Great Forest is no place to be trifled with. There are many soul beasts there, and they are all extremely aggressive. They have no goodwill towards us humans, so everyone must be careful."

"I'll lead the way. Tang San and Xiao Wu will provide support at the rear. Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang will be the archers on the left and right flanks, Zhu Zhuqing will patrol and keep watch around the perimeter, and the rest of you will stay in the center. Everyone must remain vigilant. Alright, let's go!"

During his casual conversation with Chen Feng yesterday, Dai Mubai had already learned quite a bit about the situation of the new students.

Tang San has strong control over his Blue Silver Grass, and being at the back of the group allows him to provide support at any time. He also has a strong recovery ability, so even if he is attacked, the consequences are less severe than for others.

Furthermore, Tang San also had a Blue Silver Grass seed that he hadn't used during the assessment, which could be used in case of emergencies.

Pairing him with Xiao Wu, who has the ability to teleport, can greatly ensure the stability of the team's backline.

The two archers, Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang, were positioned on the flanks of the team, which allowed them to fire at any time and ensure the safety of the team members in the center.

Dai Mubai, with the highest cultivation level and being a capable and resilient warrior, was undoubtedly destined to be at the forefront.

This arrangement was accepted by most people, except for Chen Feng, who raised an objection:

Why was I placed in the middle of the line?

Dai Mubai glanced at him and said:

"Just stay put and behave yourself. There's a reason why I've made this arrangement."

“I can fight too, don’t treat me like a delicate baby,” Chen Feng said.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go." Dai Mubai took the lead and started running.

The others followed him without objection, and Chen Feng had no choice but to obey and obediently stay in the center of the group with Ning Rongrong.

Thanks to Oscar's tofu replenishing their energy and Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda occasionally providing a boost, the group's travel speed was quite impressive, even when running.

The Star Dou Great Forest and Shrek Academy are not far apart, so the group arrived at a small town near the Star Dou Great Forest in less than a day.

They will rest here for the night to recharge their energy before entering the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow morning.

After entering the town, Chen Feng looked at the wide variety of shops around him and suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, I heard Brother Dai mention yesterday that the Dean once said something famous: 'A Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble is not a good Soul Master.' So, do we need to deliberately provoke trouble outside?"

“Of course,” Ma Hongjun laughed. “The saying that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre is also part of cultivation. However, we usually choose to provoke Soul Master Academies, so at most it will just be a fight.”

Chen Feng frowned slightly. "Are you just going to start trouble for no reason?"

"Otherwise what?" Ma Hongjun asked, puzzled.

"I think the dean's original intention was probably not what you said," Chen Feng said, shaking his head.

Ma Hongjun scratched his head. "Then what do you think it means, Brother Feng?"

Chen Feng looked calmly ahead and said:

"What the dean meant by saying that a Soul Master who dares not cause trouble is not a good Soul Master is not, in my opinion, that we should not cause trouble outside, but rather that when we encounter injustice outside, we should stand up for justice instead of being afraid and backing down."

"I think the dean wants us not to be afraid of trouble and to act with a sense of righteousness. As long as we do things right, he and the other teachers will definitely support us to the end, even if we offend a real strong person. After all, justice resides in the hearts of the people."

"On the contrary, if we frequently provoke trouble without any reason, we will eventually run into a brick wall. At that time, we will have neither the moral high ground nor the strength to back us up, and even if the dean wants to support us, he will probably find it difficult to stand up for us."

After hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Ma Hongjun felt as if he had been enlightened.

"That's right, Brother Feng, what you said is so true. This must be the Dean's true meaning. Boss Dai, we've all misunderstood before."

Dai Mubai scratched his face with his index finger. "It does seem to make sense. I didn't encounter any injustices when I went out with the dean this time, so I didn't cause any trouble. Maybe what Xiaofeng said is what the dean really meant."

Ning Rongrong chimed in from the side, subtly taking Chen Feng's arm and saying:

"I also think Xiaofeng has a point. What kind of dean would teach students to cause trouble everywhere? What if they run into a Title Douluo? Wouldn't they be doomed?"

The others also agreed, feeling that Chen Feng's words made more sense.

Only Zhu Zhuqing kept staring at Ning Rongrong's hand, making Ning Rongrong feel a little embarrassed and let go of Chen Feng's hand.

Faced with Tang San as an external enemy, the two of them had decided to form an alliance to prevent Chen Feng from going down the wrong path, so they could not do anything that would be detrimental to unity.

Zhao Wuji, who was following behind, scratched his head. "Is that what Boss Fu meant? It sounds quite reasonable."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Chen Feng's lips. For someone who frequently engaged in online arguments in his previous life, playing such word games was a piece of cake.

Whether or not Flanders' original intention was as he said, after his explanation, it becomes clear that it was.

Even if Flander finds out about this later, he won't be able to say anything wrong, because Chen Feng's words are so correct that Flander, as the dean of the academy, has no right to refute them.

The so-called profound meaning in concise words, and the interpretation of the Six Classics by myself, are roughly like this.

If this approach is taken to extremes and distorted, it will evolve into a well-known saying:

Carrying the red flag while opposing the red flag.

Of course, Chen Feng doesn't need to go to that extent; he only needs to take the opportunity to slip in his own ideas and share them with others.

To build an extraordinary business, you must use extraordinary methods to gather a sufficient number of extraordinary talents.

These members of Hydra are all on our side, and Chen Feng will treat them sincerely.

Treat your own people with sincerity, and treat outsiders with the same principles of thought, belief, emotion, and self-interest.

The essence of struggle lies in winning over everyone you can and having as many of your own people as possible.

After acknowledging Chen Feng's "interpretation" of Flander's famous quote, the group went to a hotel in the town, intending to treat themselves to a big meal.

Many of the students own dogs, but Dai Mubai is the oldest and a senior student at Shrek Academy, so he offered to treat everyone to a meal as a welcome dinner for the new students.

Upon hearing that Dai Mubai was going to treat everyone, Ma Hongjun immediately ordered a huge amount of food without any hesitation, showing everyone his true colors as a big foodie.

The sumptuous meal whetted everyone's appetite, who had been eating tofu all day, and they enjoyed a delicious feast.

During this time, Canghui Academy seemed to be affected by the convergence of world lines, and also came to stay at this hotel.

Although their behavior was somewhat flamboyant, they didn't do anything outrageous. Therefore, after being "educated," Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai did not provoke each other as they did in the original novel.

The two groups finished their meal peacefully and went upstairs to rest.

……

early morning.

The group was roused by Zhao Wuji's loud voice and began their journey toward their destination, the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even a short distance from the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San vaguely sensed waves of refreshing air blowing towards him from the front. The fragrance of plants made him feel indescribably comfortable, and his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul became more active than ever before.

"I like this place," Tang San said sincerely.

"Really? Then let's come over to play often in the future," Xiao Wu said happily.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is this a place for you to have fun? Everyone, be on your guard!" Dai Mubai shouted from the front of the group.

"Hehehe~" Xiao Wu made a face at Dai Mubai's back.

After arriving here, she felt like she was home, and she didn't even bother to keep her presence hidden anymore.

Just as they were about to enter the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhao Wuji stopped everyone. He first had Oscar distribute tofu and sweet garlic to everyone, just in case.

He then made subtle adjustments to the team's structure, placing Tang San and Xiao Wu at the very front, while he personally brought up the rear.

Zhao Wuji solemnly warned everyone:

"Listen carefully, Star Dou Great Forest is not an ordinary gathering place for soul beasts. It is a forbidden zone for life. The soul beasts inside are extremely dangerous. You may face attacks from soul beasts that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old at any time."

"So once we enter the forest, none of you are allowed to leave my body by more than twenty meters. In particular, Chen Feng and the two support Soul Masters must stay close to me. No one is allowed to attack the Soul Beasts without my order. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" x9

"Okay, let's go! Don't make too much noise once we're inside."
