Chapter 583 Go back to Shrek Academy, this is an order!

Lu Yu glanced over and saw Xiao Wu squatting beside the corpse of a giant wind wolf, holding a soul bone emitting green light in her hand, her face full of excitement: "Lu Yu! Teacher Zhao! Look, this soul bone is so beautiful! It feels like it fits my martial soul very well!"

Zhao Wuji strode over, took the soul bone, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "Yes, this wind wolf soul bone has an acceleration effect, which is just right for your agility attack type martial soul.

Xiao Wu, you're lucky! Wang Sheng, the rest of you should hurry up and pick the soul bones that suit you. Don't waste time!

Wang Sheng grinned and waved his hand: "Teacher Zhao, don't worry, we are picking! There are many soul beast corpses in this place, and there are also many soul bones. I feel that this time I can break through to level 40!"

Lu Yu looked at the busy figures of the crowd and smiled, but his eyes unconsciously turned to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The shadows of the trees there were heavy, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.

He murmured softly, "The Qilin Martial Spirit's soul ring... the twenty-four thousand year old Fierce Mountain Tiger soul ring, should be able to hold out for a while.

I'll find a stronger spirit ring later."

As night gradually fell, the air in the Star Dou Great Forest became even colder. The low growls of several soul beasts could be heard in the distance, making people shudder.

Zhao Wuji gathered everyone around the campfire and said in a deep voice, "We've had a good harvest today. Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu, after you absorbed the soul bones, your soul powers have all broken through to level 40, and you're stuck at the Soul Sect entry stage.

Next, I have to find a suitable spirit ring to stabilize my realm.

but……"

He paused, his eyes swept towards the depths of the forest, his brows furrowed, "Too many soul beasts have died in this forest recently, something big might have happened deep inside.

I originally wanted to let Lu Yu take you for a few more days of training, but now it seems that we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Lu Yu was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Zhao, what happened in the deep forest? So many soul beasts died, it's really not normal."

Zhao Wuji shook his head, his tone solemn: "I can't say for sure, but there are so many soul beast corpses, and most of their soul bones are intact, which means that the thing that killed them is extremely powerful, maybe a hundred thousand year level soul beast, or... even more terrifying existence.

We can't take any risks, we have to retreat early tomorrow morning!"

Xiao Wu frowned, hugged her knees and said, "Teacher Zhao, isn't it a shame to leave so hastily? We finally broke through to level 40, and I want to find another spirit ring to consolidate it."

Zhao Wuji glared at her: "Little girl, don't be greedy! Life is more important than spirit rings! You haven't seen the dangers of this place yet.

Listen to me and leave early tomorrow morning!"

Lu Yu was about to say something when suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky. The air seemed to solidify, and the flames of the campfire trembled violently and almost went out.

He looked up suddenly and saw that the sky was covered by a dark shadow that blocked out the sun, as if a mountain had fallen from the sky, bringing with it a destructive aura.

"No! Back away!"

Zhao Wuji roared, and his martial spirit was released instantly. His seven spirit rings shone brightly, and a golden light curtain burst out from his body, covering everyone inside. "Lu Yu, take everyone away!"

Lu Yu gritted his teeth, and his green wings suddenly spread out. He was about to take everyone into the air, but he heard a deafening roar, and the sharp claws of the giant beast fell from the sky, directly tearing apart Zhao Wuji's light curtain.

A terrifying shock wave swept over, and Lu Yu felt a tightness in his chest. He was blown away like a kite with a broken string, and the screams of Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng came to his ears.

"Zhao!"

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and shouted, but his body fell uncontrollably. Severe pain came from all his limbs and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

He forced himself to stay conscious and tried to spread his wings to steady his body, but he found that his wings were full of cracks and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Just when he thought he was about to fall into the depths of the forest, a gentle force suddenly enveloped him, like warm running water, pulling him back from his falling trajectory and slowly bringing him to the ground.

Lu Yu’s eyes went dark and his consciousness fell into complete darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yu slowly woke up, his nose filled with the scent of moist earth and the faint fragrance of grass and trees.

He opened his eyes and found himself lying in a deep forest. The surrounding trees were towering, their branches and leaves blocking out the sun, and a few rays of starlight could be seen faintly.

He struggled to sit up, but felt a sharp pain in his chest and couldn't help but groan.

"Don't move, you're seriously injured."

A deep and familiar female voice came from beside him, with a hint of concern.

Lu Yu was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw Liu Erlong in a fiery red dress standing not far away, looking down at him.

Her handsome face showed a bit of fatigue, but her eyes were full of determination.

Lu Yu felt warm in his heart and said hoarsely, "Teacher Liu...you saved me?"

Liu Erlong nodded, walked a few steps closer, squatted down to check his injuries: "You are lucky, I happened to be nearby when you fell.

That beast's attack is no joke, you're lucky to be alive."

Lu Yu gave a bitter smile and struggled to lean against a tree trunk: "Thank you, Teacher Liu... Where are Teacher Zhao and the others? How are Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng and the others?"

Liu Erlong frowned and shook her head, saying, "I only had time to save you. The others were scattered by the shockwaves of the giant beast, and their whereabouts are currently unknown.

But Zhao Wuji is a thick-skinned guy, so he should be fine.

Don't worry about them for now, just heal your own wounds first."

Lu Yu looked down at his body. His chest and arms were wrapped in cloth strips, which faintly exuded the fragrance of herbs.

He tried to circulate his soul power and found that although the injuries in his body were serious, they seemed to have been stabilized by some force and would not worsen.

He looked up at Liu Erlong and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Liu, why are you in this deep forest? And...what is that giant beast? Why is it attacking us?"

Liu Erlong was silent for a moment, her eyes looking into the distance, and she spoke in a low voice, "That giant beast... I don't know exactly where it came from, but it has something I must get.

I am in this deep forest for this very reason."

Lu Yu's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Teacher Liu, what you said... is it for the master?"

Liu Erlong's body stiffened, and she turned to look at Lu Yu, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She didn't answer, but whispered: "Don't guess, kid, just take good care of your injuries first.

Your injuries have recovered a lot, but don't even think about leaving the depths of the forest anytime soon.

The giant beast won't be around for long, so I have to hurry."

Lu Yu looked at Liu Erlong's slightly tired back, and a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.

He vaguely felt that Liu Erlong's trip was not just for the soul beast's treasure, but might really be related to Yu Xiaogang.

But he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded silently and whispered: "Teacher Liu, thank you for saving me.

Now...how can I help?"

Liu Erlong turned around, a smile flashing in her eyes: "What help? You're so small, you should take care of yourself first.

When your injury heals, we can talk about other things."

Deep in the Star Forest, the sound of wind mixed with the rustling of leaves, and a strong sense of danger filled the air.

Ning Rongrong was blown away by a violent force, her body drawing an arc in the air, the wind whistling in her ears, and a sharp branch brushed against her cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark.

She gritted her teeth and tried to steady herself, but the force was too strong and was beyond the capability of a soul master of her level to resist.

Just when she thought she was about to fall heavily to the ground, a familiar and majestic figure descended from the sky and caught her steadily.

"Rongrong!"

Ning Fengzhi's voice was filled with anger and deep worry.

He flashed and landed steadily with Ning Rongrong. The light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda was faintly visible in his hand, emitting a soft yet firm power.

Ning Fengzhi looked down at his daughter in his arms, his brows furrowed. "Why are you so disobedient? Didn't I tell you that Star Dou Forest is such a dangerous place, isn't it your place to come?"

Ning Rongrong was panting heavily, her face still terrified, but she ignored the pain in her body. She struggled to stand up from her father's arms and eagerly grabbed Ning Fengzhi's sleeve, "Daddy, please, save Lu Yu and the others! They were also blown away by that force. Maybe... maybe they flew deep into the forest!"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes darkened as he glanced at the devastated woodland around him.

Towering trees were uprooted, the ground was full of cracks, and the aftermath of the soul power collision still lingered in the air.

He frowned and asked, "Lu Yu? Is that the Lu Yu from Shrek Academy? What is your relationship with him? Why are you so worried about him?"

Ning Rongrong's face flushed slightly, but her eyes were firm: "Dad, now is not the time to talk about this! Lu Yu... he is very important to me! If anything happens to him, I... I don't want to live anymore!"

When she finished speaking, her voice was almost crying, her hands were tightly grasping Ning Fengzhi's sleeves, and her eyes were red.

Ning Fengzhi was shocked when he saw his daughter like this.

He knew his daughter. Although Ning Rongrong was spoiled in daily life, she was definitely not someone who would easily say such words.

He took a deep breath and softened his tone: “Okay, Daddy promises you, I’ll go find them.

Calm down first and tell me, what happened?"

Ning Rongrong bit her lip and quickly recounted what had happened before.

She, Lu Yu, Oscar, Wang Sheng and others came to the Star Dou Forest to look for suitable spirit rings, but unexpectedly encountered an inexplicably powerful force, like the aftermath of the collision of two terrifying spirit powers, which knocked them all away.

She only remembered that Lu Yu tried to use his body to protect her and Xiao Wu at the last moment, but the force was too strong and they could not resist it at all.

"Daddy, please, Lu Yu and Xiao Wu are missing now, they must still be alive! We have to find them quickly!"

Ning Rongrong's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of anxiety.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, his eyes becoming serious: "Stay here and don't move.

I'll go check out the situation."

His figure flashed, and the light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower flowed around him. The whole person was like a stream of light, quickly disappearing into the dense forest.

In the forest, Ning Fengzhi's figure passed by like the wind, and his soul power perception was fully exerted, covering an area of several miles.

In less than half a minute, he found Oscar, Wang Sheng and five others in a destroyed woodland.

Although they were in a dishevel, with tattered clothes and some scratches on their bodies, fortunately none of them were seriously injured.

"metropolitan!"

When Oscar saw Ning Fengzhi, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he struggled to get up from the ground, "Where's Rongrong? Is she okay?"

"Rongrong is fine."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, glanced at the few people, and said in a calm tone, "How are you guys? Where are Lu Yu and Xiao Wu?"

Wang Sheng wiped the blood from his forehead and said in a low voice, "We were separated by that force. I only saw Lu Yu and Xiao Wu being blown away towards the depths of the forest.

That place... that place is too dangerous, Sect Master, we have to go find them quickly!"

Ning Fengzhi frowned and looked towards the deep forest in the distance.

There was an unsettling atmosphere in the air, and there were faint traces of soul power fluctuations in the air.

He said in a deep voice: "I already know about your situation, but the whereabouts of Lu Yu and Xiao Wu are unknown. There are two possible situations: one is that they were attacked by soul beasts, and the other is that they were taken into the depths of the forest by that power.

No matter which one it is, it is not something you can handle."

"Sect Master, we can't abandon Lu Yu and Xiao Wu!"

Oscar was anxious, his voice filled with a bit of excitement, "Lu Yu is our big brother. He was shot down to protect us. How can we go back?"

Ning Rongrong also rushed over at this time. After hearing her father's words, she immediately objected: "Dad, I want to go too! Lu Yu got into trouble to protect me. I can't stay here and wait for news!"

Ning Fengzhi's face darkened, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty: "Nonsense! With your strength, you might not even be able to deal with the soul beasts in this area, let alone the deep forest! There may be 100,000-year-old soul beasts or even Soul Douluo-level powerhouses fighting there. You will only die if you go there!"

"But……"

Ning Rongrong wanted to argue, but Ning Fengzhi raised his hand, and the light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower flashed, and a soft but firm force enveloped her and several others.

"That's enough! You must return to Shrek Academy now. This is an order!"

Ning Fengzhi's voice was stern, but his eyes were gentle, "I promise you, I will do my best to find Lu Yu and Xiao Wu.

You guys staying here will only distract me."

Ning Rongrong clenched her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes, but she knew her father's temper, and even as stubborn as she was, she could only lower her head unwillingly.

Oscar and Wang Sheng looked at each other, both with unwillingness on their faces, but they also knew that with their strength, they really couldn't help much.

Ning Fengzhi said no more, and with a flick of his soul power, he sent the few people to the outskirts of the forest, handing them over to the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect who arrived shortly afterwards to escort them back to the academy.

He turned around, his gaze locked onto the depths of the forest, a solemn expression flashing in his eyes: "Lu Yu... I hope you are really as Rongrong said, worthy of her care."

The smell in the depths of the forest grew stronger. Ning Fengzhi moved forward cautiously. The light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower was faintly visible around him, ready to respond to any sudden danger at any time.
