Chapter 123: Hunting Soul Beasts
The finals were approaching, and on the same day, the Shrek team welcomed two happy events, which finally diluted the sad atmosphere.
On the eve of the competition, Xiao Wu's soul power broke through to level 40, which was not surprising to everyone. It could only be said that it was expected.
A month ago, Chen Xuan said that his soul power was only level 41, but now he tells them that he has cultivated to level 50. How can people accept this?
In just over a month, he cultivated from level 41 to level 50. This was not shocking, as no soul master had ever accomplished this before.
At first, everyone at Shrek didn't believe it and expressed doubts. However, Chen Xuan directly took out a crystal ball to measure the soul power, breaking their suspicions and showing that it really reached level 50.
"Brother Chen, I surrender, you are the monster!" Ma Hongjun was full of admiration.
Everyone was convinced. They had also eaten the magic grass, but their soul power had not improved so dramatically.
Xiao Wu bit her red lips lightly and stared at Chen Xuan in a daze.
Her mind was full of thoughts, as if she had thought of some shameful scene, and her cheeks were flushed.
Zhu Zhuqing had a strange expression on her face. She glanced at Dai Mubai, then looked at Chen Xuan, comparing the two again.
She herself didn't understand what was going on. Whenever a similar situation happened, she couldn't help but compare the two.
Tang San was silent, not saying a word, and even began to doubt himself. He ate three immortal herbs and tempered his body with the spring water from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but after a year he only advanced to the seventh level.
He has never accepted people like Chen Xuan and was disdainful of associating with him. He was arrogant, looked down on others, and did not know how to respect his teachers. He first talked back to his teacher and then humiliated him many times.
However, it was this person, this person whom he looked down upon, who actually surpassed him so easily, with a gap of eight levels in soul power.
Tang San gnashed his teeth. This was unacceptable to him. How could he accept that a person who didn't know how to respect his elders had grown to a level far beyond him!
"Good, good, very good!" Flanders came back to his senses from the shock and burst into laughter. He was extremely happy and patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, from now on, you are the ace player of Shrek Academy."
At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by Chen Xuan. No one noticed Tang San's abnormality, not even Dai Mubai who was beside him.
How could Flanders not be excited when the academy produced a Soul King student? Before graduation, he had brought up such an outstanding student. Isn't this an achievement? In the future, with a little publicity for Shrek Academy, it would be easy to spread its fame.
Moreover, a Soul King appeared in the Shrek team. For this Soul Master Competition, their Shrek Academy has taken a big step closer to the championship.
You know, the golden third generation of the Spirit Hall team is only at the Soul King level and is much older than Chen Xuan.
Although Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and Flanders did not know the true soul power of these three people, they had heard some rumors. One thing that was certain was that the three people who had just broken through to the Soul King level this year must not be more than level 53.
Liu Erlong was also shocked. She had never expected that the unknown girl in the advanced class had grown to this point and was even better than her beloved goddaughter.
Chen Xuan walked in a low profile, returning the greetings to everyone one by one, and then looked at Liu Erlong and said, "Teacher Erlong, can we set off together?"
Liu Erlong nodded and said nothing this time. She took Xiao Wu, who looked reluctant, away.
While it was still early, she had to speed up and find a suitable soul beast for her goddaughter.
Chen Xuan followed, took a step forward, and appeared fifty meters away. His speed had reached the level of a Soul King.
Under his feet, arcs of electricity rose up, intertwined with each other, drawing a long dangerous line and disappearing from sight.
"Dean, aren't you curious about how he cultivated his soul power so quickly?" Dai Mubai spoke, expressing his confusion and deep doubts.
The rest of the Shrek people came back to their senses and only now remembered that there were indeed many doubts. How could a normal person practice so fast?
"Yes, Dean, when we became substitutes, Chen Xuan was only level 38." Tai Lung agreed, suspecting that the other party had used some kind of trick to increase his soul power so slowly.
You know, he knows Chen Xuan very well. During the three years of getting along in the advanced class, Chen Xuan was always mediocre and his soul power training was not fast. But after joining the Shrek team, he made rapid progress like a rocket. "Tai Long, don't talk nonsense, I believe in Xuan!" Jiang Zhu was immediately angry, pinching Xiao Wan's waist and glaring at Tai Long fiercely.
Tai Long sneered and said sarcastically, "Ah Xuan? You call me that so intimately. I felt there was something fishy going on between you two two years ago, but I didn't expect you two would actually be together!"
"You! Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!" Jiangzhu's face turned red, she was filled with shame and anger, obviously she was hit.
Seeing Jiangzhu's blushing expression, Zhu Zhuqing felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if a needle had pierced her heart. For some reason, she felt a little bitter and uncomfortable in her heart.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Flanders stopped them, unable to bear it any longer.
He had a terrible headache. What was going on with one or two of them? First, Tang San and Chen Xuan had a fight, and now these two were quarreling again. Neither of them was worrying.
"You don't have to guess anymore. You'll know the answer when Xiao Chen comes back tomorrow. That's it. It's time to practice." Flanders spoke sternly and the matter was dropped without further discussion.
Everyone knew that Chen Xuan had eaten the fairy grass, but they didn't think too badly of it. They just felt that there were many suspicious points.
the other side
Not far from Wuhun City, there is a huge forest. It is the soul beast forest created by the Wuhun Palace and various large and small countries. It is similar to the Sunset Forest and is full of soul beasts that have been raised in captivity by people from past generations.
Liu Erlong, Xiao Wu and Chen Xuan came here and had a brief conversation with the Guarding Knights. The other party did not make things difficult for them and let them pass readily.
In the Soul Beast Forest, there are clusters of trees with green shades. The scorching afternoon sun shines through the leaves and refracts onto the ground, making the place a little stuffy.
There are mountains and rivers here, as well as overgrown weeds and lush trees. The old pine trees are as thick as buckets and are truly century-old trees.
The three of them restrained their auras and went deeper into the interior, searching for a suitable soul beast.
It is said that the soul beast with the highest cultivation level in this place is only 70,000 to 80,000 years old, and there is no soul beast of 100,000 years old. Compared with Xingdou, the danger factor is much lower.
Along the way, Xiao Wu was absent-minded, always with her head down, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
Liu Erlong searched for the soul beast carefully with absolute vigilance and did not notice the worried Xiao Wu.
"You guys stay here and don't run around. I'll go over there and take a look." After saying this, Liu Erlong disappeared in the blink of an eye and sank into another forest.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up and the haze disappeared. Her chance had come.
"There seems to be a soul beast suitable for me over there. I'll go over there and take a look." She left Chen Xuan behind, continuously using the instant body soul skill, and quickly ran away.
In a blink of an eye, Chen Xuan was the only one left in the forest.
"Everyone really has their own ulterior motives." He shook his head, feeling that each of the Seven Monsters had his own secrets and ideas.
Chen Xuan assessed his own condition and found that his physical and mental strength had definitely reached that of a Soul King. The endurance limit of his soul ring should be more than 30,000 years.
"Ten thousand year soul beasts are not easy to deal with, nor are they easy to find. Let's wait until they come back."
Chen Xuan strolled in the Soul Beast Forest, heading towards Xiao Wu as if nothing had happened.
He left the Flying Thunder God Mark on the opponent's body, which could be felt no matter how far away.
Now that things have come to this, it's time to confess some things.
