Chapter 550: The monster really lives up to its reputation!

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong only felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, and their soul power seemed to be pulled by some invisible force and began to run wildly.

Their aura rose rapidly, and their soul power levels soared like a rocket.

The whole process lasted about a quarter of an hour. When Lu Yu withdrew his hands, the soul power of the two women had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Xiao Wu opened her eyes, feeling the soul power filling her body, and said in surprise: "Level 36! I actually reached the peak of Soul Master!"

Ning Rongrong was equally excited. She stood up and stretched her body, muttering, "Level 35... This is incredible!"

She turned to look at Lu Yu, her eyes full of admiration and curiosity, "Lu Yu, how did you do it? Can you help me upgrade to Soul Douluo?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You wish.

If I could directly upgrade people to Contra, I would have been a Contra myself a long time ago, why would I have to accompany you on adventures here?"

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully, obviously just asking casually.

Xiao Wu stood up, dusted herself off, and urged, "Okay, let's go back quickly, or else others will get worried."

Lu Yu nodded and returned to the original place with the two women.

Returning to the open space where the team was stationed, Oscar could tell at a glance that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's auras were unusual.

His eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Oh my god! How did you two suddenly become so strong? Lu Yu, what did you do? Tell me!"

He came to Lu Yu excitedly, rubbing his hands and said, "Brother Lu, please, give me a promotion! It doesn't have to be much, just Soul Sect, really!"

Lu Yu glanced at him, too lazy to answer, and directly found a place to sit down, and said lightly: "Nothing happened?"

Oscar was ignored, scratched his head in embarrassment, and had to leave in disappointment.

Zhu Zhuqing sat aside, her eyes swept over Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, and then fell on Lu Yu.

She frowned slightly and wanted to ask, but when she saw Oscar was still nearby, she swallowed her words.

Her relationship with Lu Yu has gradually become closer in recent years, especially when she was learning Jeet Kune Do before. She found that Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong learned much faster than her because of their good relationship with Lu Yu.

Later, after she became familiar with Lu Yu, her understanding of Jeet Kune Do improved by leaps and bounds.

This made her vaguely guess that Lu Yu might have some special abilities.

It's obviously inappropriate to ask Oscar about this kind of thing in person, it would be better to find an opportunity in private.

At the edge of the Star Forest, the dense tree canopy blocked the scorching sun, mottled light and shadows were cast on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of moist earth and the faint fragrance of grass and trees.

The breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and occasionally there was the low roar of soul beasts in the distance, reminding everyone of the danger of this forest.

Lu Yu and his group stood in a clearing in the woods, their eyes all looking towards the depths of the forest. The atmosphere was solemn and cautious.

Zhu Zhuqing stood in front of the team, her black tights outlining her slim figure. Her long hair was blown gently by the wind, covering half of her cold face.

She shook her head slightly, a hint of worry in her tone: "It's okay, it's just... this forest is too dangerous."

She paused, looking deeply into the distance, as if she could penetrate the shadows of the trees and see the unknown threats hidden in the darkness. "If we go too far, we may encounter soul beasts that we cannot deal with. Everyone must be careful."

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Qing is right.

The area within 500 feet outside the Star Forest is relatively safe, but if you go deeper, the risks will increase exponentially.

Ten thousand year soul beasts are no joke, their flesh and blood, destructive power, and even the power of their soul skills are not something that ordinary soul masters can easily resist. "

He paused, his tone more serious, "Even with my current strength, I have to act with caution."

Lu Yu’s words made everyone feel nervous.

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Watch on his waist, as if he was estimating the possible danger.

Xiao Wu bit her lip, a hint of complicated emotions flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong looked at each other, and there was a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Only Oscar stood aside, scratching his head with an unnatural smile on his face. He seemed to want to ease the atmosphere but didn't know where to start.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged an obscure look. Both women had something in their hearts that they didn't want to mention in front of Oscar.

After all, although Oscar is one of the Shrek Seven Devils, his relationship with Lu Yu and others is not as close as that of others, so some secrets are not convenient for him to know.

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and turned her gaze back to the depths of the forest to hide her thoughts.

At this moment, Oscar suddenly came to Lu Yu, with a flattering smile on his face, rubbing his hands and said: "Brother Lu Yu, look, can my strength... be improved? You are so strong, can you help your brother?"

As he spoke, he made faces and tried to ease his nervousness with a playful smile.

Lu Yu glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and said in a calm tone with a hint of unquestionable meaning: “Oscar, stop making trouble.

The Vice President and Dean Liu may be guarding nearby. If you are scared, you can stay here. They will come to pick you up soon. "

He paused, his eyes swept over Oscar's slightly embarrassed expression, and continued, "I'm not looking down on you, but your current strength is indeed not suitable for going deeper.

As an auxiliary spirit master, without enough people to protect you, it would be easy for you to get into trouble."

Oscar's smile froze when he heard this, he scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly: "Brother Lu Yu, your words...are a bit hurtful.

I am one of the Seven Monsters after all, why am I so useless?"

Lu Yu did not answer directly, but looked into the distance with a deep gaze, his tone was somewhat analytical: “Oscar, you are a food-type soul master, and the reason you can become one of the Seven Monsters is mainly due to teamwork.

Tang San controls the situation, Dai Mubai and Zhu Qing's spirit fusion skills are terrifyingly powerful, Xiao Wu is the main attacker, and you and Rongrong are adding status in the back. All of these are linked together, which is why the Seven Monsters have such a great reputation.

But to be honest, your personal strength is limited.

If you hadn't met Tang San, becoming a god would have been just a distant dream for you."

Lu Yu's words were merciless and hit Oscar's sore spot directly.

He had not known Oscar for a long time, but he always felt that this guy was a little sloppy and lacked composure.

Although Oscar is talented, compared to the other seven monsters, his growth depends more on the team rather than his own efforts.

Lu Yu paused and added: "I'm not saying you can't do it, I just hope you understand that the way for an auxiliary spirit master to survive is to find teammates who are worthy of reliance, rather than blindly asking others to help you improve."

After listening to this, Oscar smiled bitterly, scratched his head, and whispered: "Brother Lu Yu, what you said... is really to the point.

I didn’t pay much attention to it before, thinking that with Tang San and the others around, everything could be handled.

Now that I think about it, I was really too arrogant. "

He raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "Give me a chance! Next time I will definitely play a good supporting role and help everyone improve their combat effectiveness. I will never be a drag!"

Lu Yu looked at the seriousness in Oscar's eyes, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

Dai Mubai, who was standing next to him, patted Oscar on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Okay, Fatty, don’t look so bitter and resentful.

Lu Yu is right, you should perform well in this training and don't always think about being lazy."

Everyone laughed for a while, and the atmosphere eased a little.

The next morning, the sun shone through the treetops, casting golden rays of light. Lu Yu and his party packed their luggage and continued their journey into the depths of the Star Forest.

This time, they were more cautious and took every step carefully, for fear of alerting the soul beast hiding in the dark.

Although they did not encounter any soul beasts along the way, they unexpectedly met two teams of soul masters.

The gazes of those soul masters lingered on Lu Yu and others for a moment, and with a bit of fear, they finally chose to take a detour and leave.

Lu Yu keenly noticed the hesitation in the other person's eyes and understood what was going on.

These soul masters might be stronger than them, but who can walk in the depths of the Star Dou Forest without relying on something? The other party obviously does not want to make enemies easily.

Lu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward with everyone.

In the afternoon, everyone finally arrived at the 500-zhang area.

The trees are denser here, and there is a faint fishy smell in the air, as if foreshadowing greater danger.

Lu Yu stopped, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Let's stop here.

If we go any further, security will be greatly reduced and it will be easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

We have come all the way here, and we need to rest and replenish ourselves.”

Everyone nodded and found a relatively open space to sit down.

Oscar's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he couldn't wait to shout out the soul spell: "I have a big sausage!"

Along with the fluctuation of soul power, several sausages emitting a faint aroma appeared in his hands.

He shook the sausage proudly and said with a smile: "Come on, brothers, eat some sausages to quickly restore your physical and spiritual strength!"

Wang Sheng sat aside, curled his lips, and teased without any hesitation: "Oscar, your sausage looks wretched, it's better for me to drink some potion."

Oscar was immediately displeased when he heard this. He glared at Wang Sheng and retorted, "Vile? What do you know? As long as my sausages have soul power, they can continuously restore physical strength. It's not like your potion, which is so expensive and the medicinal materials are hard to find!"

As he spoke, he handed Lu Yu a sausage with a bit of pride on his face, "Brother Lu Yu, don't you think so?"

Lu Yu took the sausage, took a bite, nodded slightly, and said in agreement: "Oscar is right.

The recovery ability of a food-type soul master is continuous, and a pharmacist cannot compare to him in this respect."

He paused, and glanced at everyone, "Everyone, eat something first and recover your strength, then we will train around here."

Everyone took the sausages, ate them in two or three bites, and showed a satisfied look on their faces.

The sausage tastes slightly sweet in the mouth, bringing with it a strange warm current that quickly replenishes the consumed physical and spiritual strength.

Lu Yu leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes and rested, but he was thinking about his next plan in his mind.

The training in the Star Forest is not only to improve strength, but also to make everyone accustomed to facing real danger.

Only in actual combat can one hone true confidence.

Just as everyone was resting, the sound of faint footsteps was heard from the woods on the left.

Lu Yu opened his eyes and his gaze shot towards the direction where the sound came from like lightning.

Soon, several figures walked out from the shadows of the trees. The man in the lead was tall and smiling. It was Cheng Youcai.

Cheng Youcai's eyes swept over Lu Yu and the others, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't expect to meet you here.

Lu Yu, you are really brave, daring to come to such a deep place in the Star Forest?"

Oscar came forward curiously and asked, "Cheng Youcai, what are you doing here?"

Cheng Youcai waved his hand and explained, "We are here to gain experience, and the Xingdou Forest is a good place.

I didn't expect to meet you here, what a surprise."

His eyes fell on Lu Yu, and he was suddenly startled, as if he had noticed something. There was a bit of disbelief in his tone, "Lu Yu, you... you are now a level 38 Soul Master? The last time we fought, weren't you only level 33? In two days, you broke through to level 5?!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people from Lan Ba ​​Academy changed.

They originally just wanted to test the strength of Shrek Academy, and even had thoughts of revenge.

But now, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Lu Yu and others, they were left with only shock in their hearts.

That kind of oppressive feeling is definitely not brought about by the level of cultivation alone, but a comprehensive crushing of strength.

Cheng Youcai rubbed his eyes and murmured, "This... This is impossible? How did you do it?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled faintly, his tone calm but with a hint of pride: "Because we are the monsters of Shrek Academy."

These words were like thunder, exploding in the ears of everyone at Blue Bully Academy.

They looked at Lu Yu and others, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.

The original hostility and provocation had now disappeared.

Cheng Youcai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Monster...it really lives up to its reputation.

Forget it, we will go through our own training and not bother you anymore."

Lu Yu slowly withdrew his gaze from the dense forest in the distance. Cheng Youcai and others gradually disappeared in the lush greenery of the Xingdou Great Forest, leaving behind silence.

A complicated look flashed across his eyes, with a hint of surprise, but was quickly replaced by calmness.

Cheng Youcai's team is quite strong, and the Soul King-level vice-president who accompanies them is capable of dealing with the dangers outside the Star Forest, but the appearance of Liu Erlong makes Lu Yu feel doubtful.

The dean of Blue Bully Academy, a powerful Soul Sage, came to the Star Dou Forest in person. This was definitely not a simple escort mission.

Lu Yu's thoughts raced as he vaguely guessed a possibility - Liu Erlong's trip must be for something that was extremely important to her, or it might even be related to that person.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and some vague clues emerged in his mind.

That person... Lu Yu was not clear about the other party's current situation, but he vaguely felt that if the other party was really in the Star Dou Forest, they would meet sooner or later.

Is it a breakthrough, or is it still stagnant? Lu Yu shook his head, dispelling these chaotic thoughts and focusing his attention on the team in front of him.

"Let's go a little further."

He suggested in a low voice, his voice calm but with unquestionable authority.
