Chapter 325 Everyone's Needs
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Vice Dean Cai Meier clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention to her.
She smiled slightly and said, "Everyone here is an inner court student, so this isn't your first time entering the Star Dou Great Forest. We have new members joining us this time, so let's introduce ourselves briefly, stating our names, martial souls, and cultivation levels to facilitate coordination within the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Le Xuan, you go first!"
Zhang Le Xuan nodded slightly and stepped forward, saying, "My name is Zhang Le Xuan, an inner court teaching assistant and student. My martial soul is Moon, a power-attack type battle soul master. I'll be leading the team this time, with level 87 soul power, and no soul ring requirements."
Hearing Zhang Le Xuan's words, even Wang Qiu'er was no exception; everyone's hearts trembled.
Zhang Le Xuan finished speaking and looked at Wu Xuan beside her with a gentle smile.
Wu Xuan understood and stepped forward, saying, "Wu Xuan, an inner court student. Twin martial souls, level 80 quasi-Soul Douluo. My goal for this trip is the eighth ring, but my goal is rather demanding and mainly depends on luck, so you don't need to consider me."
Wang Qiu'er, who had been secretly observing Wu Xuan, was utterly shocked upon hearing this and didn't recover for a moment.
Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, wasn't as shocked, as he had already been stunned by the Sea God's Fate a few days ago. He continued, "My name is Huo Yuhao, soul power level 47, twin martial souls: Spirit Eye (spiritual type) and Ultimate Ice Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass. I need the fourth ring of the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass, and if I break through level 50, I'll also need the fifth ring of the Spirit Eye. Ideally, they should all be from soul beasts that are 30,000 to 50,000 years old."
With the Soul Master Competition about to begin, Huo Yuhao urgently needed to increase his strength, and adding a soul ring to his second martial soul was the simplest and fastest way.
Wang Dong'er, standing beside him, continued, "Wang Dong'er, Inner Academy student, Power Attack type, Martial Soul: Goddess of Light Butterfly. Level 61 Soul Emperor. No Soul Ring requirement. Can use Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Huo Yuhao to cooperate with him in this operation."
"Li Yongyue, Inner Academy student, Agility Attack type Battle Soul King, Level 60, requires a sixth Soul Ring. Martial Soul is Moon Blade."
"My name is Mo Xuan, Ranged All-Around Support type Battle Soul King, Level 60, requires a sixth Soul Ring. Martial Soul is Aura. My close combat ability is relatively weak, so I'll have to rely on everyone this time."
Li Yongyue had an ordinary appearance, while the handsome Mo Xuan seemed somewhat shy, as if he rarely interacted with unfamiliar people. Both were over twenty-five years old, with Li Yongyue already twenty-seven.
Reaching the Soul Emperor realm at this age would be considered genius in the outside world, but at Shrek Academy, it would only be enough to barely enter the Inner Academy.
However, this special all-around support type Battle Soul Master, Li Yongyue, caught everyone's attention.
Zhang Lexuan timely answered everyone's questions. "Mo Xuan is a special talent cultivated by our inner academy. While his support abilities aren't outstanding in individual or team battles, he is the only ranged, all-around support-type Soul Master in our academy's history of nearly a thousand years. You'll understand once you reach Star Dou."
Wang Qiu'er was introduced last. Her voice remained cool and aloof.
"Wang Qiu'er, offensive type, Golden Dragon Martial Soul. Level 60 Soul Power, requires a sixth Soul Ring."
Her introduction was the most concise, and during it, her gaze was fixed on the sky, displaying a haughty and indifferent demeanor.
After Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan arranged the formation, they set off. Although the group wasn't very familiar with each other, as elites of the Soul Master world, they moved swiftly and efficiently.
Along the way, no one particularly displayed their speed; under Zhang Lexuan's deliberate control, the formation remained perfectly intact.
Just as Cai Meier had said, these inner academy students were all quite familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest, having visited before. They rarely interacted, simply hurrying on their way.
Wang Qiu'er appeared very quiet, her eyes consistently cold and indifferent, as if she had erected a barrier around herself, isolating herself from everyone else.
Even while running, each touch of her toes propelled her forward with astonishing speed. Cracks appeared almost wherever she stepped, her powerful movements appearing remarkably graceful.
Wu Xuan, bringing up the rear of the group, glanced at Wang Qiu'er out of the corner of his eye, lost in thought.
Wang Qiu'er seemed to sense Wu Xuan's gaze, turning sharply, their eyes briefly meeting.
In that instant, the Eye of Life between Wu Xuan's brows opened automatically, and the power of destiny between them was activated on its own. There was a subtle connection between them.
Wang Qiu'er felt the same way; her delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly, the indifference in her eyes melted away, and her gaze towards Wu Xuan held a more complex expression.
Shrek City was not far from the Star Dou Great Forest. Even at this pace, they successfully reached the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest before noon that day.
Zhang Lexuan directed everyone to rest on the spot. "Everyone, take a break and eat something. Get yourselves into peak condition. After half an hour of rest, we'll enter Star Dou."
"Yes!" everyone responded.
"Senior Sister, there's a small river nearby, I'll cook." Huo Yuhao volunteered.
"Alright! Yuhao will cook, and everyone else shouldn't be idle." Zhang Lexuan began assigning tasks. "Wang Dong'er and Li Yongyue, you two go chop some firewood. Yuhao and Wu Xuan, go catch some fish. Wang Qiu'er, Mo Xuan, and I will hunt some game. Have a good meal, everyone. Be careful when entering the Star Dou Great Forest."
Everyone was a high-level Soul Master, so this kind of small task was a piece of cake. After arriving at the small river, Wu Xuan immediately started catching fish, leaving the cleaning to Huo Yuhao.
In a short while, Wu Xuan and Huo Yuhao returned with more than twenty large fish.
Zhang Lexuan and the other two caught two pheasants.
Seeing this, Wu Xuan took the two pheasants, rejecting Huo Yuhao's plan to make fish soup and instead making chicken soup.
Although Wu Xuan didn't cook often, his spiritual power was undeniable; as long as he observed carefully, the taste would definitely be good.
With Wu Xuan fanning the flames, the aroma of the chicken soup soon filled the air.
The delicious chicken soup, paired with dry rations and grilled fish, made for a very sumptuous lunch in the wild.
Lunch was over! Everyone began to rest.
Zhang Lexuan sat not far away, a knowing smile on her face. As the captain, her most important task was to mold this temporary team together, fostering close relationships and a sense of unity. Only in this way would they be more in sync and closer when facing battles in the Star Dou Great Forest.
