Chapter 586 The training ground becomes a battlefield for seven monsters

Lu Yu was panting, sweat dripping down his forehead, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Although this battle was dangerous, it gave him a deeper understanding of Jeet Kune Do.

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his left cheek, a complicated look flashed in his eyes: "Lu Yu, you make me look at you with new eyes.

As a Soul King, you can actually defeat me who has suppressed my strength. It's amazing!"

He paused, his tone turning serious: "I have something to ask of you.

Rongrong is now studying at Shrek Academy, and I hope you can protect her.

If anything happens to her, I will not forgive you!"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Master, don't worry, Lu Yu will definitely live up to your trust!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded, but his eyes became deep: "By the way, Lu Yu, do you know the whereabouts of Xiao Wu?"

Lu Yu's heart was shocked, and the image of the weak yet tough girl appeared in his mind.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, Xiao Wu..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi's eyes were already fixed on him with a hint of inquiry.

Lu Yu sighed inwardly, knowing that this matter was by no means simple, but he could only suppress his doubts temporarily and wait quietly for Ning Fengzhi's next words.

Lu Yu stood at the edge of the Star Dou Forest. The wind was mixed with the scent of moist earth, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the sun cast mottled spots of light through the branches and leaves.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes scanned the surrounding woods, trying to find a familiar figure.

Beside him, Ning Fengzhi was dressed in a white robe, with an elegant demeanor, yet also a bit solemn.

"Sect Master, is Xiao Wu...really, there's no trace of her?"

Lu Yu's voice was low, with a hint of imperceptible anxiety.

He clenched his hands tightly, and the sweat on his palms made his knuckles slightly cold.

Ning Fengzhi tilted his head slightly, looking at Lu Yu, his tone calm but with a hint of probing: "I have sent people to search the outskirts of the forest, but there is no trace of Xiao Wu.

Considering her origin as a hundred thousand year old soul beast and the protection of the Sky Blue Bull Python, if she really went to the depths of the Star Dou Forest, there should be no problem.

Why are you so worried? What is her relationship with you?"

Lu Yu was stunned, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "She is my team member, Shrek's companion.

I'm just worried about her safety."

"Team member?"

Ning Fengzhi snorted lightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, "Lu Yu, your concern seems to go beyond the scope of an ordinary teammate.

Well, I won't ask any more questions, but you should understand that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has its own plans for Rongrong's future."

Lu Yu's heart trembled, but his expression remained calm. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sect Master. I know my limits.

It's just that Xiao Wu is missing, and as the captain, I should be concerned."

Ning Fengzhi squinted his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then nodded slowly: "In that case, I rushed all the way here and didn't see her in the forest.

Perhaps, she is indeed deep down.

If you are worried, let's go back to Shrek Academy first, gather everyone together and make plans."

Lu Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then let's go back to the academy first."

Ning Fengzhi raised his hand, and the fluctuation of soul power spread in the air. A space crack slowly emerged, and the dim light seemed to swallow up the surrounding light.

He motioned Lu Yu to go first, and Lu Yu did not hesitate and stepped into the crack. The wind whistled in his ears, and in a flash, the familiar Shrek Academy playground appeared before his eyes.

On the playground, students gathered in groups of three or four, but the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Ning Rongrong spotted Lu Yu walking out of the crack. Surprise flashed in her eyes, and she ran over quickly, her voice full of worry: "Lu Yu! You're okay, that's great!"

She looked Lu Yu up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was unharmed.

Lu Yu looked at her anxious expression, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Rongrong, I'm fine, right? Don't worry."

Ning Rongrong's cheeks turned slightly red, and she was about to say something else when she noticed Ning Fengzhi's gaze behind her.

Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously hid behind Lu Yu. Her small hand gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and whispered, "Daddy, he's looking at me..."

Lu Yu turned around and saw Ning Fengzhi staring at him with a complicated look. He couldn't help but laugh, patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder, and whispered, "It's okay, the Sect Master is just concerned about you."

At this moment, Lu Yu's gaze swept across the crowd and suddenly stopped - Xiao Wu's pretty figure was standing not far away, her rabbit ear hair accessories swaying slightly in the sunlight, and her face had the same lively smile as always.

She seemed to notice Lu Yu's gaze, waved at him, and said with a smile: "Lu Yu, you are finally back! I was worried to death!"

Lu Yu felt relieved and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He walked forward quickly, looked at Xiao Wu carefully, and confirmed that there was no trace of injury on her body. Then he said in a deep voice: "Where have you been? Do you know how worried I am?"

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "I just went to the forest and looked for something.

Don't worry, with Da Ming and Er Ming here, who can hurt me? "

Lu Yu shook his head helplessly, but there was a hint of pampering in his tone: "Next time you run around, at least tell me."

Xiao Wu giggled and nodded, "Alright, alright, Captain, I'll remember that!"

Not far away, Flender came over with a tired but sincere smile on his face. He bowed to Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Master Ning, thanks to your help this time, the Shrek students are safe and sound.

Flanders will always remember your great kindness."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and said gently, "Dean Flanders, you are too kind.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Shrek have always been on good terms, and this is part of their duties.

However, Rongrong is in the academy, and I hope the dean will take good care of her."

Flanders nodded repeatedly: "Of course, Rongrong has outstanding talent and is the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. We will definitely do our best to train him."

The two exchanged greetings and walked away, but Lu Yu's eyes fell on Zhao Wuji in the crowd.

Zhao Wuji leaned against a tree, his face pale, several wounds on his body had not yet fully healed, and his breathing was a little unstable.

Lu Yu frowned and whispered to Xiao Wu beside him, "Teacher Zhao was seriously injured. I'm afraid he fought with the giant beast for a long time, which consumed its strength and gave Liu Erlong the opportunity to kill it with one blow."

Xiao Wu nodded, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Teacher Zhao fought so hard to protect us.

Fortunately, Teacher Liu is here, otherwise..."

Lu Yu patted her shoulder and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, the academy has us, and we will never let anything happen to you."

As night fell, Lu Yu took Ning Rongrong back to his residence.

As soon as Ning Rongrong entered the room, she grabbed Lu Yu's hand, her eyes full of worry: "Lu Yu, did Daddy...see something? I always feel that the way he looks at you is not right."

Lu Yu chuckled, held her hand, and said softly, “Don’t think too much, I have already explained it to the Sect Master.

You are my team member and you understand the relationship between us.

He won't stop you, nor will he force you to return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. She threw herself into Lu Yu's arms and said in a soft voice, "Really? Daddy really agreed?"

Lu Yu rubbed her hair and smiled: "Of course, he also said that as long as you are happy, he will not interfere."

Ning Rongrong raised her head, her eyes full of tears. She hugged Lu Yu tightly and whispered, "Lu Yu, thank you... With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Outside the house, Oscar and Wang Sheng looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Oscar patted Wang Sheng's shoulder and whispered, "Let's go. Let's stop being a light bulb here."

Xiao Wu also covered her mouth and chuckled, then quietly left with the two of them. Only Lu Yu and Ning Rongrong were left in the room, relying on each other.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Lu Yu entered the system space alone.

In the void, a ray of light condensed, and the system's voice rang in my ears: "Mission completed, reward issued: skill upgrade times x1.

Please choose to upgrade your skills."

Lu Yu's eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "Upgrade 'Intermediate Buff Control' to 'Advanced'."

The system light flickered, and a warm current flowed into Lu Yu's body. New information about the skills instantly emerged in his mind.

Advanced buff control can buff any object with a basic duration of ten minutes. The stronger the effect, the more the duration is reduced, but the damage enhancement range is also larger.

He carefully felt the changes in his skills, a satisfied smile on his face: "This effect is even stronger than I expected."

The next morning, Lu Yu gathered everyone to the back mountain of the academy.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the holographic mimicry space slowly unfolded, with faint ripples appearing in the air. Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and then they found themselves in a training ground filled with abundant spiritual energy.

Huang Yuan exclaimed, "Lu Yu, what is this place? The speed of soul power circulation is at least three times faster than outside!"

Oscar's eyes widened as he said excitedly, "This is too much! One day of training here is equivalent to several days outside!"

Lu Yu looked serious and said in a deep voice: "This is my special ability, which can greatly increase the speed of cultivation.

But you must remember that this matter must not be spread outside, understand?"

Huang Yuan and Oscar exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Understood! We will never tell anyone!"

After a night of practice, everyone's soul power improved by leaps and bounds.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the back mountain, and everyone walks out of the holographic mimicry space, all of them in high spirits.

Huang Yuan clenched his fists excitedly: "Lu Yu, I have broken through to level 46! This speed is unimaginable!"

Oscar also grinned and said, "I'm level 41! Lu Yu, your ability is simply amazing!"

Lu Yu waved his hand, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, ability is your trump card, and being low-key is the kingly way.

Keep working hard, we Shrek will never lose to anyone!"

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, Captain!"

Under the sunshine, the Shrek boys are full of fighting spirit, and the future seems to be right before their eyes.

The sun shone brightly on the training ground of Shrek Academy. Dust floated slightly in the air. The seven monsters stood side by side, sweat dripping from their foreheads, with a tired yet determined look on their faces.

Zhao Wuji stood in front of them, his strong arms folded across his chest, his eyes as sharp as a knife, sweeping over each person.

"Okay, little monsters, be quiet!"

Zhao Wuji's resonant voice shook the ground, "I didn't call you here today to let you slack off.

The academy has decided to officially launch a two-month special training program starting now! The goal is to raise the spirit power of all members to level 45 or above! This is to prepare for the upcoming Star Dou Royal Academy exchange and the Advanced Spirit Master Elite Competition!

Oscar couldn't help but curl his lips as he lazily raised his hand, his tone filled with doubt: "Teacher Zhao, level 45? Two months? Are you serious? Our highest level is only level 43. Isn't the difficulty a bit... exaggerated?"

Zhao Wuji glared at him, but a sly smile appeared on his lips. "Why, Oscar, are you scared? Let me tell you, the academy has invested heavily this time! Rare medicinal herbs, a special training environment, and even a training plan designed by the master himself. All these resources are at your disposal! If you still can't break through, don't blame me for throwing you into the Xingdou Great Forest to feed the soul beasts!"

Ma Hongjun chuckled and scratched his head. "Teacher Zhao, what you said makes my blood boil! But, are medicinal herbs really that magical?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand, "From today on, your daily training will be doubled. Soul power training, actual combat confrontation, and teamwork, none of them can be neglected! Especially Lu Yu, you are the core of the team, lead the charge! Do you understand?"

Lu Yu stood at the front of the team, his long black hair wet with sweat and sticking to his forehead, but his eyes were calm and firm. He nodded: "Understood, Teacher Zhao."

Ning Rongrong stood beside him, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said with a low laugh, "Lu Yu, you have to take it easy and don't get too tired, otherwise I'll be heartbroken."

Lu Yu glanced at her sideways, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a bit of teasing: "Don't worry, I can still go shopping with you."

Zhao Wuji snorted, "Alright, stop wasting time! From now on, the special training officially begins! Anyone who dares to slack off, hehe, we'll see you in the Soul Beast Forest!"

For the next two months, the training ground of Shrek Academy became the battlefield of the Seven Monsters.

In the early morning, before the mist had dissipated, they had already begun soul meditation under the master's guidance. In the training room filled with the aroma of medicine, soul power surged through the meridians like a tide.

In the afternoon, the roar of actual combat resounded through the sky. Lu Yu's soul skills drew dazzling arcs of light in the air, interweaving with Xiao Wu's soft skills and Zhu Zhuqing's shadows, colliding to produce fierce sparks.

At night, under the starlight, they sat around the training ground, sharing their experiences, feeling tired but fulfilled.

"Lu Yu, your fourth soul skill's control has become stronger!"

Xiao Wu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile, "I almost didn't dodge it just now!"

Lu Yu smiled, and the soul power in his hand condensed into a faint halo: "Thanks to the master's guidance, the connection of soul skills is smoother.

How about you guys? How do you feel?"

Oscar bit a piece of grass and leaned lazily against a tree: "Don't mention it, my soul power just broke through level 45 yesterday, I was so tired that I could hardly even make a sausage!"

"Haha, Oscar, your physique is too weak!"

Ma Hongjun slapped his thigh and laughed unrestrainedly, "I also broke through yesterday. I feel that my soul power has become much stronger. The Burning Sky Flame can burn for a few more seconds!"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Ma Hongjun and snorted, "Fatty, don't be so complacent! My auxiliary amplification has also increased. Don't hold me back in the actual battle!"
