Chapter 328 Hunting and Gratitude
The Shrek Academy students naturally wouldn't be idle either. The moment Wang Qiu'er made her move, everyone sprang into action.
"Senior Sister, everyone, leave two Ghost Winged Ice Butterflies behind. I need their spirit rings!" Huo Yuhao, at the rear, shouted loudly.
Zhang Lexuan paused for a moment upon hearing this. The next instant, a bright moon shone behind her, its light directly restricting the two Ghost Winged Ice Butterflies, one 40,000 years old and the other 50,000 years old.
The remaining three Ghost Winged Ice Butterflies' eyes were filled with undisguised fear. Their leader had been instantly killed, and the remaining top-tier combatants were trapped. These humans were far more terrifying than they had imagined!
The three Ghost Winged Ice Butterflies, along with the two controlled by Zhang Lexuan, glowed with a red light. The next instant, an extremely sharp and unparalleled sonic wave erupted, creating a tremendous impact.
The intensity of the sound wave caused everyone below the Soul Douluo level to experience a buzzing in their heads, covering their ears and retreating hastily, almost rolling on the ground.
Innate Soul Skill – Ghostly Vibration Wave! An instant-cast combination soul skill; the combined power of all five released simultaneously is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. This is the foundation upon which the Ghost Wing Ice Butterfly, despite being an evil soul beast, can still roam freely in the mixed zone. However, this soul skill can only be used once a day, and the simultaneous release of this soul skill by five Ghost Wing Ice Butterflies is clearly a desperate act.
Logically, Wang Qiu'er, who is closest, should be the most severely injured, as she is at the center of the five sonic waves.
But the next moment, something happened that even made Cai Mei'er, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, turn her head in surprise.
"Roar—" A resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the entire area, and a huge golden dragon instantly appeared from her body. Wang Qiu'er touched the ground with her toes and charged forward into the sound waves, the golden dragon encircling her delicate body, carrying an unstoppable momentum.
Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Roar. Wang Qiu'er's strongest attack Soul Skill at present.
With the activation of Light Wind, Wu Xuan pointed towards Wang Qiu'er, who instantly vanished, reappearing in the center of the five Ghost Wing Ice Butterflies.
"Boom!"
The moment the two sound waves collided, a massive shockwave erupted from the point of impact. Countless dark red and gold rays of light scattered in all directions.
The three weaker Ghost Wing Ice Butterflies were instantly blasted into blood mist and fragments, while the remaining two, whose movements were restricted by Zhang Lexuan, were on the verge of death, seemingly about to breathe their last.
Fast, too fast. From the moment the remaining five Ghost Wing Ice Butterflies fought desperately until the end, only about three or four breaths had passed. These powerful evil soul beasts were annihilated like dry leaves. This wasn't a battle at all, but a pure massacre.
Wang Qiu'er, wielding the Golden Dragon Spear, approached the group. The spear's surface remained a brilliant gold, without a trace of blood.
"Hey! Huo Yuhao, what are you standing there for? Didn't you want a spirit ring? Those two Ghost Wing Ice Butterflies are almost dead." Wu Xuan reminded him from the side.
"Ah, okay!" Huo Yuhao finally snapped out of his daze and hurriedly ran towards the two Ghost Wing Ice Butterflies. As he brushed past Wang Qiu'er, a bead of cold sweat appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was shocked. If he were to fight Wang Qiu'er alone, he might be as powerless as he was against Wu Xuan.
Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but mutter to himself: Although Wang Qiu'er looks just like my Dong'er, her ferocity is something most people probably can't handle! My Dong'er is still so gentle and kind. Huo Yuhao sincerely sighed.
At this moment, everyone present, except for Wu Xuan who already knew about Wang Qiu'er's strength, also had a very clear understanding of her. She was a freak whose talent surpassed that of the senior sister and was approaching that of Wu Xuan.
After a spike of ice killed the Ghost Winged Ice Butterfly that was about 40,000 years old, Huo Yuhao was startled when he saw the 50,000-year-old Ghost Winged Ice Butterfly beside him that seemed to be about to die.
"Wu Xuan, can I borrow your Conferred God Platform? This Ghost Wing Ice Butterfly is about to die, and I'm afraid I won't have time to absorb its power," Huo Yuhao said loudly to Wu Xuan.
"Sure, take it." Wu Xuan nodded, flicked his wrist with his soul tool, and tossed over a Conferred God Platform.
Now, including his original one, Wu Xuan had five Conferred God Platforms. It must be said that Senior Brother and Senior Sister Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo were indeed quite capable; their work efficiency was truly outstanding.
"Thank you for earlier." Wang Qiu'er, who had always seemed aloof and cold, surprisingly thanked him. Only Wang Qiu'er herself knew that without Wu Xuan's teleportation, her final attack, no matter how powerful, would have resulted in injury.
"It's nothing. To me, evil soul beasts and evil soul masters are the same thing; I kill them on sight," Wu Xuan said casually.
"You are very different from other humans!" Wang Qiu'er commented.
"Really? Then I'll take that as a compliment." Wu Xuan smiled and turned to leave to discuss the next steps with Zhang Lexuan.
Since Huo Yuhao needed to absorb two spirit rings consecutively, and it was already dark, Zhang Lexuan decided to rest where they were for the night. Coincidentally, this location was at the border between the mixed zone and the core zone, making it suitable for a campsite.
Under Zhang Lexuan's arrangement, Li Yongyue turned to the side and released his spirit—a gleaming, gracefully curved moon blade. The blade swept across, releasing several blade beams that cleared away the surrounding bushes.
As darkness fell, and the tall, lush trees further obscured the light within the Star Dou Great Forest, it became quite dim, almost to the point of complete darkness.
The group sat not far from Huo Yuhao, eating dried meat and flatbread in the dark to recover their strength.
Zhang Lexuan clapped her hands lightly and stood up, saying, "With Junior Brother Wu Xuan here, I won't arrange for him to keep watch tonight. Everyone should get some rest."
"Great!" everyone responded happily.
Unlike the others, Wu Xuan took a bite of the sesame seed cake in his hand, his expression somewhat unnatural, because he noticed Wang Qiu'er's gaze constantly glancing at him from the other side.
Curiosity about the unknown is a common trait of all living beings. Wu Xuan looked at the roast meat and sesame seed cake in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. He had roast meat and sesame seed cake tonight, but he didn't have the so-called story of the sesame seed cake that would turn Wang Qiu'er's curiosity into devotion.
In fact, before entering the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls, Wu Xuan had almost figured it out, thanks in large part to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er.
Wu Xuan understood that his fate was intertwined with Wang Qiu'er's, and constantly avoiding her wasn't a solution; he couldn't hide anymore. As for the so-called scheming, as long as he didn't fall in love, there was no such thing as love. Even with the God of Destruction protecting Tang Buddha, he could only jump up and down in frustration.
Nearly two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Huo Yuhao successfully absorbed his fourth spirit ring, breaking through to level 50 in spirit power. He then began absorbing his fifth spirit ring.
