The following day, inside the Soto Grand Hotel,

"Ouyang, are you sure you don't want us to go with you?" Qin Ming asked with a worried expression.

"Teacher Qin, don't worry."

Ouyang Ling reassured them, "I'm not going to the Soul Hunt alone this time. Brother Xue invited a senior at the Soul Douluo level for me, so there's no need to trouble the two Shrek Academy deans."

It turned out that just last night, after Ouyang Ling learned that Grandpa Ci Xue had arrived in Soto City, he asked Qin Ming for leave. Unexpectedly, Qin Ming was worried that the people sent by His Highness the Crown Prince were not strong enough, so he summoned Flander and Zhao Wuji, wanting one of them to go with him.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ming learned from Ouyang Ling today that the Crown Prince had sent a Soul Douluo.

"It seems I was overthinking it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming did not insist.

After all, the strength of a Soul Douluo and the sense of security he provides are greater than those of two Soul Saints.

He then apologized to Flander and Zhao Wuji, acknowledging that he had made the two teachers come all this way for nothing.

Ouyang Ling also expressed his gratitude.

Although they didn't need to go out of their way, they had indeed wanted to help him go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls.

"Hey, what's the big deal?"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

But as he stroked his chin and turned his gaze to the Great Arena outside the window, an idea suddenly popped into his head. "Since we're already here, why don't we call the kids and go practice at the Great Arena together? That way, the trip won't be a complete waste."

Qin Ming: "Should we move the training to daytime?"

"That's right."

Flanders considered it for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible."

So, with everyone chiming in, today's training session was hastily finalized under Ouyang Ling's watchful eye.

After that, Ouyang Ling greeted him.

"Teacher Qin, I'm leaving now."

Qin Ming nodded. "Say hello to the others and be careful in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"OK."

After a while,

Ouyang Ling left the hotel and headed towards the outskirts of Soto City, where the Porcupine Douluo, who had already arrived, was waiting for him in a rented carriage outside the city gate.

"Grandpa Bloodstained".

Ouyang Ling greeted them and boarded the carriage.

"I'll have to trouble you with this trip."

The Porcupine Douluo nodded slightly, saying nothing more. Just as he was about to have the carriage driven to the Star Dou Great Forest, the driver's voice suddenly rang out.

"Gentlemen, it seems someone is looking for you?"

"Is someone looking for us?"

Ouyang Ling was slightly puzzled.

However, Ci Xue lifted the carriage curtain first, craning his neck to look towards Soto City, and then said:

"It's that food-loving boy."

Having spent so much time by Qian Renxue's side, Ci Xue naturally had access to information about Shrek Academy's teachers and students through her connections. What impressed him most was the food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power.

Ouyang Ling: ? ? ?

"Oscar? What's he doing here?"

When he lifted the carriage curtain and looked back, sure enough, Oscar was running in this direction. Although he was in a hurry, his face was full of excitement.

Upon recognizing Ouyang Ling, Oscar quickly shouted, "Ouyang, wait for me!"

"Little Ao, what are you doing here!?"

Oscar did not respond, he just kept running.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Finally, he reached the carriage and stopped.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he gasped for breath and was unable to speak for a moment.

"Alright, take a break." Ouyang Ling took out a water bottle from his magic pouch. "Have some water to calm down."

"Whew—good…"

As a great soul master, even a food-type soul master couldn't do anything to Oscar with a single dash.

Only three breaths had passed.

He has fully recovered.

Seeing this, Ouyang Ling immediately asked, "Why are you running so fast? Do you need to see me?"

"Yes, I have."

Oscar slapped his thigh, looking quite pleased with himself. "Look at me, what's changed?" He was being secretive, even keeping everyone in suspense.

"What's going on..." Ouyang Ling sensed it quickly and immediately noticed that Oscar's soul power was somewhat unstable compared to yesterday. In an instant, he guessed the truth: "You've broken through to level 30!"

Oscar seemed to be wagging its tail:

"That's right."

"You're something else!"

Ouyang Ling simply bent down and got off the carriage, walked over to Oscar, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "At your age, it's already extremely rare for a Soul Master to break through to level 30. Not to mention you're a food-type Soul Master, which is unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated."

Being praised like that,

Oscar grinned, showing his teeth. "It's actually not that hard... just a little difficult..."

"I told you you were fat, and you actually wore it," Ouyang Ling said with a laugh, steer the conversation back on track, "But why did you suddenly come all the way here to me?"

"Hey—I heard the Dean and Teacher Zhao were going to help you hunt for souls. Perfect timing, I just broke through to level 30 and need a soul ring too. So after saying goodbye to Fatty, I rushed out to catch up with you guys, even worried that you might have already set off."

As he spoke, he peeked into the carriage.

He found it strange; shouldn't the news of his breakthrough to Soul Master be exciting?

Why haven't the dean and Teacher Zhao reacted at all? Or have they not arrived yet?

"Alright, stop watching." As soon as Ouyang Ling heard this, she knew that Oscar was probably a misunderstanding.

He then immediately explained it to him.

"what?"

Realizing his mistake, Oscar was embarrassed. "Then I'll go back and find the dean and the others."

"Hey, what does it matter?"

Seeing him turn to leave, Ouyang Ling grabbed his shoulder and said, "We're brothers, what's wrong with you and me getting soul rings together this time?"

"Are you really alright?"

"It's nothing, consider it a perk." Ouyang Ling turned his gaze to the carriage. "Right, senior?"

Oscar looked over upon hearing the sound.

Just then, the sound of blood being drawn rang out. It was ordinary yet impossible to ignore. "Get in the car."

Since Ouyang Ling has said so, what else can he do? However, this food-type kid is now the young master's man, so it's worth taking him along on the soul hunt. The only problem is that he can't reveal his nine soul rings when they enter the forest later.

It's not a big deal at all.

"See, is that enough?"

Ouyang Ling patted Oscar on the shoulder, gesturing for him to get in the car. Seeing this, Oscar stopped being "pretentious."

After Oscar got into the car and respectfully greeted the Porcupine Douluo, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what about the Dean and the others..."

Ouyang Ling, however, said it was no problem.

"I'll have someone inform them."

So, he randomly found a villager near the city gate who looked honest and not particularly wealthy. After giving him a gold soul coin, he told him to go to the Soto Grand Hotel to deliver a message to the Shrek Academy members.

In this way, Flanders and the others will not have to worry.

Once everything was ready, the coachman tentatively asked, "May I ask, esteemed Soul Masters, are we ready to depart?"

"Thank you for your trouble, Master."

Ouyang Ling boarded the carriage and entered the carriage.

"Let's go to the Starry Sky Forest."

"Alright! Let's get started!"

……

The Starry Sky Forest is located in the southeast of the Kingdom of Barak, with a small part bordering the Kingdom of Barak. Therefore, Soto City, located in the southeast of the Kingdom, is not far from the Starry Sky Forest, less than 500 kilometers away.

Ouyang Ling and his two companions arrived at a small town near the forest before nightfall, traveling by horse-drawn carriage.

Stepping inside, you are immediately enveloped by a bustling atmosphere.

The town remains the same as before, filled with shops and vendors related to Soul Hunting, and bustling with all sorts of Soul Hunting teams.

Without lingering, Ouyang Ling and his two companions headed to a tavern. "Boss, we'd like to eat and stay here."

"Alright! What would the three of you like to eat?"

Ouyang Ling picked up the menu, randomly ordered a few items, and then placed the calculated amount of gold soul coins on the table. "We won't eat here. We'll divide the food into three portions and bring them to our room later."

"Okay!"

After dismissing the boss, Ouyang Ling gestured:

"Let's go upstairs."

However, when they arrived at the three connected guest rooms, the Porcupine Douluo went straight into his own room.

This scene made Oscar hesitate for a moment, and in the end he chose to go into the one on the far side.

But just as he put his hand on the doorknob,

"etc."

Ouyang Ling pressed down on his wrist with one hand.

"Don't rush in."

Meeting the questioning gaze, "Have you thought about what kind of spirit beast you want to hunt for your third spirit ring?"

Oscar shook his head.

"Then let me hear your opinion."

Ouyang Ling opened the door and gestured for him to come in.

After entering the room and sitting down at the table, Ouyang Ling took out a thick book that could kill someone, along with a map made of animal hide.

Oscar asked, puzzled, "Ouyang, what's this?"

"This is a record of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest." Ouyang Ling opened the thick book and found the food category. "Actually, you know very well that Brother Xue, that is, His Highness the Crown Prince, is very willing to invest in you. And helping you hunt souls is one of the benefits of this investment. However, hunting souls is not a simple matter."

As he spoke, he looked up from his book, pulled out a chair, and invited Oscar to sit down so they could chat and listen.

"This book in my hand contains the most valuable knowledge of every major power. The experience of those who have been there can always give you suitable advice. Paired with a map recording the distribution of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, your soul rings can be accurately located, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."

ho-

Oscar stared in shock, his eyes wide!

He had never seen anything like this before.

Previously, when hunting spirit rings, the academy teachers would simply encounter a spirit beast, determine if it was suitable, and then hunt it. How could it be that professional?

"You're already surprised?"

Ouyang Ling's lips curled into a slight smile as he began to paint a rosy picture. "If you cultivate to the level of Soul Saint, we will definitely give you a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. If you can break through to the Title Douluo level, I will find you a soul bone over fifty thousand years old."

Finally, he added one more point.

"...This can also be considered one of the benefits."

At this moment, Oscar, whose mind was nearly a complete mess from being bombarded with so-called benefits, was speechless.

He never dared to even dream of having a soul bone before! Let alone one that took ten thousand or fifty thousand years.

So don't say anything!

Stand up! Attention!

starting today,

There is only one sun in my heart!

Onions! Oranges!
