35: Return to College

After Dai Mubai and Gu Yuena left.

Di Tian, who instantly understood the meaning in Gu Yuena's eyes again, looked at the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger and said with a smile.

"I see you have good potential. How about we go all out to cultivate you into a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast?"

The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was stunned by this sudden surprise. Di Tian didn't give it a chance to recover and headed towards the place where the Soul Beast race stored their heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Ten Thousand Demon King, what does that mean? Why didn't I understand Lord Gengjin's words and Di Tian's actions?"

Ten Thousand Demon King, who had transformed into a human form, helplessly glanced at the Bear Lord, whose intelligence was worrying, and slowly explained.

"Lord Gengjin currently needs a Soul Ring as a human. He suggested what kind of Soul Beast's Soul Ring he wanted, but he felt that this one's age wasn't enough."

"Oh! So that's it!"

The Bear Lord's sudden realization caused the other fierce beasts to disperse in silence, feeling quite speechless.

Meanwhile, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was frantically and happily devouring the heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It didn't notice. Di Tian was watching it from the side with the gaze of someone looking at a treasure. It didn't know that the gift of fate had been marked with a price from the very beginning.

Half a month later

When Dai Mubai left the Star Dou Great Forest, he couldn't help but look back in the direction of the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena planned to first integrate the Soul Beast race's peak combat power, so she didn't follow.

But I have to say, that group of fierce beasts in Star Dou were really good at flattering. He absorbed those heavenly materials and earthly treasures until his body could barely handle it before they let him stop.

After absorbing all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Dai Mubai's Soul Power had only just increased by one level, and this was already the case when he was about to break through to fifty-four. This made Dai Mubai feel a little confused at the time.

However, after thinking it over, Dai Mubai was relieved after gaining his second Martial Soul, the Yimu Green Dragon.

However, on the way back, Dai Mubai became worried about his future Martial Soul cultivation speed because he felt that his current cultivation speed for advancing to Soul King was at least three times slower than before.

After temporarily shaking off all these worries in his mind, Dai Mubai called a carriage and headed towards Shrek Academy. On the way back, Dai Mubai kept recalling his trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

He unexpectedly joined the Soul Beast race while hunting for his fifth Soul Ring, and he even became their Lord. Why did the Four Holy Beasts exist in the ancient Divine Realm? All sorts of mysteries lingered in Dai Mubai's mind.

Shrek Academy

Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly out the window in the direction of the Shrek entrance, lost in thought.

Ever since Zhao Wuji told her that Dai Mubai had gone to hunt for a Soul Ring by himself. These past few days, Zhu Zhuqing, who used to cultivate for twelve hours a day, hadn't even entered a meditative state.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong pushed open the door with water and food. Zhu Zhuqing heard the sound of the door opening and quickly turned around to look. After seeing that it was Ning Rongrong, she returned to her previous state.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong was also a little worried, after all, their relationship was still relatively harmonious during the first two days after she arrived.

But after Dai Mubai hadn't returned after a week, Zhu Zhuqing had completely changed.

Ning Rongrong watched as Zhu Zhuqing maintained a worried but blank look for nearly a week.

Thus, although Ning Rongrong felt distressed for Zhu Zhuqing in her heart, she spoke with words full of comfort and began to persuade Zhu Zhuqing again.

"Zhu Qing, you were just lucky to get your Soul Ring so quickly. Look at the people before you or around you, if they weren't lucky and didn't find a satisfactory Soul Beast, even if they hunted a thousand-year Soul Ring, isn't it normal to stay in the Soul Hunting Forest for ten days or so? Moreover, Dai Mubai's fourth Soul Ring was ten thousand years, it's impossible for his fifth Soul Ring to go backward, right? Relax, maybe he's already on his way back."

Zhu Zhuqing knew that what Ning Rongrong said was right after hearing her comforting words. But she couldn't stop worrying about Mu Bai because there was always a feeling of unease in her heart.

At this moment, a hurried and breathless voice came from outside the door, belonging to Ma Hongjun.

"Sister-in-law! Dai Laoda, he... he's back!"

Zhu Zhuqing, who was just in front of Ning Rongrong, instantly flashed in front of Ma Hongjun, grabbing his shoulder and asking excitedly.

"Hongjun! Where did you say Mu Bai is?!"

"Zhu Qing? You missed me that much after half a month?"

Dai Mubai also flashed over from not far away and appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing, looking at her slightly red eyes with a playful smile and teasing her.

"Who missed you? Only a dog would miss you!"

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but turn away upon seeing Dai Mubai's playful smile, saying something contrary to her true feelings.

Seeing this situation, the two of them tactfully left the area, and Dai Mubai also hugged Zhu Zhuqing from behind and spoke softly.

"It's not good to say one thing and mean another, is it? Zhu Qing."

Zhu Zhuqing also threw herself into Dai Mubai's arms with a bit of grievance, and Dai Mubai's physiological reaction instantly rose due to Zhu Zhuqing's 'weapon'.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Dai Mubai.

She opened her mouth to ask Dai Mubai the question she cared about the most.

"Mu Bai, what Soul Beast did you hunt this time? Why did it take so long?"

After thinking for a moment, Dai Mubai still chose to conceal it. After all, there were very few books about the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in this era, and it would be difficult to explain if Zhu Zhuqing found out later.

"I hunted a fifty-thousand-year-old bear-type Soul Beast by myself, so it took a lot of effort."

Zhu Zhuqing was still shocked after hearing this, looking at Dai Mubai and losing her voice.

"Fifty thousand years?! That's comparable to a Soul Douluo level expert!"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai immediately coughed and quickly changed the topic.

"Zhu Qing, what level is your Soul Power currently?"

Zhu Zhuqing knew that Dai Mubai definitely didn't want her to worry, and she was also amazed by Dai Mubai's current heaven-defying strength. So she actively hugged Dai Mubai and spoke softly.

"Level thirty-eight, Mu Bai, I will continue to become stronger until I can stand side by side with you against powerful enemies."

Dai Mubai also held Zhu Zhuqing tightly and hummed in response.

While the two of them were having a tender moment, below the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, behind the Void Gate.

"Lord, all the information about Senior Gengjin White Tiger from the past year and the information about those two Soul Beasts are all here."

Di Tian respectfully handed these materials to Gu Yuena with both hands.

Gu Yuena only glanced at Dai Mubai's information and then turned it into ashes.

Seeing this, Di Tian hesitated and spoke.

"Lord, although there is considerable evidence regarding Lord Gengjin, it concerns our Soul Beast race..."

"Di Tian, Senior Gengjin White Tiger's weapon, and the dragon god's essence blood he produced are not things that humans in this World can possess. As for the Gods, they don't have the ability to create legendary existences that they have no record of as Martial Souls, do you understand?"

Gu Yuena spoke with a cold expression, interrupting Di Tian's concerns.

She had also been suspicious before, but the things Dai Mubai produced were things that even the current Gods couldn't do.

Moreover, she also had plans for the future. When she finished reading the information on the two Soul Beasts and it was almost the same as what Dai Mubai said, she became even more certain that Dai Mubai's identity couldn't be fake. After all, if he wasn't from the Soul Beast race, there was no need to investigate these matters in advance, so she made a decision.

"Di Tian, I will send a clone to resolve the matters of these two Soul Beasts as soon as possible. Take my scale and go to the Northern Icefield to gather the Soul Beasts led by the Snow Maiden and the Ice Empress."

After listening to Gu Yuena's series of words, Di Tian also let go of the last trace of wariness towards Dai Mubai in his heart. He took Gu Yuena's scale, knelt on one knee to receive the order, and left the Void Gate to head to the Northern Icefield.

"Since Senior Gengjin White Tiger has appeared, is it possible for the remaining three Seniors to appear? And is the Ying Dragon that Senior Gengjin White Tiger mentioned perhaps the Dragon Ancestor?"

Gu Yuena couldn't help but murmur to herself in the space at this moment. The events that had happened in just about a month were something that even she, as the other half of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King, couldn't digest. Although things were still developing for the better at the moment, the doubts accumulating in her heart were growing more and more...
