The Spirit Hall, in front of the main square.
"Look, everyone's here."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's somewhat effeminate eyes swept over Xie Yue and the others, then settled on Su Chen, his eyes lighting up.
"Wow, you've improved that much?"
In a flash, a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums wafted into the boy's nostrils. The delicate face was already in front of him, looking at Su Chen with curiosity and inquiry.
Su Chen instinctively tensed up, his muscles twitching, and a kunai slid out from his sleeve, chakra surging and attaching to it. He subconsciously wanted to stab it directly into Yue Guan's neck.
But at the last moment, he managed to hold back.
"call"
Calm down. This is not the perilous ninja world, and Kiku Douluo is not an enemy.
Moreover, with his current strength, the gap between him and the world's top combat power is still too great.
"Oh wow, what a scary little guy!"
Yue Guan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
With his strength, he naturally saw through Su Chen's movements in an instant. However, with those dark eyes staring at his neck, Yue Guan actually felt like he was being watched by a ferocious beast.
It seemed as if at any moment, a gaping maw with fangs would tear fiercely at his neck.
This child has such a strong sense of vigilance and murderous intent!
And the progress is so fast!
Compared to seven days ago, Su Chen's soul power has increased by at least 30%, and he will probably jump directly to level thirteen as soon as he obtains a soul ring.
Looking at the others, even the best performer, Xie Yue, only increased by less than 10%, which was already a very fast pace.
However, compared to this little monster, it seems rather insignificant.
Even among geniuses, there are differences.
Patting him on the shoulder, Yue Guan smiled and turned his gaze to Hu Liena and the others, "Little guys, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be the five most talented people in this generation of the Spirit Hall. Well, probably for the next ten years, no one stronger than you will appear."
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't hold back his praise. Upon hearing this, the group straightened their backs immediately, and even the cool Xie Yue and Hu Liena blushed.
Yan was so proud of himself that he wanted to stick his nose up to the sky.
Unlike Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo is not unknown; on the contrary, he is quite famous within the Spirit Hall.
The group was extremely excited to receive such recognition from a senior figure who was renowned throughout the Douluo Continent.
Of course, this does not include Su Chen.
"but!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly changed the subject and became serious.
"Talent can only make you faster and higher than others, but it cannot guarantee that you will go further."
"Therefore, your primary goal is not to become stronger, but to survive!"
Seeing that everyone had stopped him from speaking, Yue Guan nodded in satisfaction.
"Without further ado, let's set off. I hope that when you return, you will all be able to meet His Holiness the Pope as Soul Masters."
The Star Dou Great Forest was not close to Wuhun City, and with several children who were not physically strong to look after, it took several days to finally reach the largest forest on this continent.
After a long and tiring journey, apart from Su Chen, the other little ones were not in good condition, but Chrysanthemum Douluo clearly did not intend for them to rest.
"Alright, geniuses, this is the outermost edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. What kind of spirit ring you need and what kind of spirit ring you get depends on your own efforts. Of course, if you can't hold on, you can cry and call me over."
Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled as he looked at the travel-worn group, left behind these words, and disappeared, leaving the group looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Does this mean we have to face the soul beasts ourselves?"
The little girl at the back of the group had a mournful face and a trembling voice. Facing the deep and secluded forest, even though she knew this was the outer edge, she couldn't stop trembling all over.
"How about we team up? Lord Yueguan didn't object to that, did he?"
Yan also said with some unease.
He was initially full of enthusiasm, but upon seeing this incredibly vast and deep forest, he was immediately dampened.
The piercing screams that seemed to come from nowhere made him shrink back in fear.
"Utterly stupid."
Su Chen shook his head and waved his hand, "I'm leaving now, you can do as you please."
Yue Guan's arrangement was as expected and exactly what he wanted.
"Hey, what did you say!"
Yan was furious and was about to rush forward when he saw Xie Yue and Hu Liena looking at him speechlessly.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
He looked at the two of them in disbelief.
Xie Yue ignored him, glanced at Su Chen's back, and walked in the opposite direction. Hu Liena sighed, shook her head, and walked to the other side.
"Hey, tell me already!!"
Yan stomped his foot in frustration.
Riddler, get out of the Spirit Hall, you bastard!
"This child, really."
In the shadows, Yue Guan looked at Yan, who was furious but powerless, and shook his head in disappointment. "He has good talent, but he is too impulsive and his brain is really too stupid."
How could he not know that these little brats would all perish if they encountered a high-level ten-year-old soul beast?
The reason for arranging individual operations is to tailor-make soul beasts for each person based on their style and abilities, and also to see how they perform!
"Everyone else is quite nice, though."
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked approvingly at the others who had begun to take action.
"Oh dear, this kid's had some bad luck!"
A sinister voice came from beside Yue Guan. Ghost Douluo floated in mid-air, looking at the distance with great interest.
His gaze pierced through the jungle and locked onto the white-haired boy.
"There's a big guy in that spot."
Click!
The sound of bare branches underfoot was crisp and clear. The white-haired boy carefully used his kunai to cut through the branches in front of him and walked forward at a leisurely pace.
The faint sense of being watched from behind made Su Chen realize that Chrysanthemum Douluo was definitely keeping an eye on them.
After all, if they were to hunt soul beasts on their own, it would be suicide, except for him.
"Perfect timing, I'd like to try it out myself, at my current level."
Buzz!!
Milky white energy surged through the boy's body, and in an instant, his eyes turned a pure white, like jade.
Roll your eyes, open!
The Byakugan, from the Hyuga clan in the Naruto world, possesses the abilities of farsightedness, X-ray vision, and a 360-degree field of vision with no blind spots.
It can be described as a superb reconnaissance skill.
In a moment, Su Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly increased his speed in a certain direction.
"Did that kid encounter that fifty-year-old soul beast? Is he running away in a panic right now? Hahaha, it's rare to see a genius in such a sorry state as a child, right?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo swayed a chrysanthemum and lay lazily on the tree.
But the expected answer did not come. He turned his head in confusion and found that the corner of his old friend's mouth was twitching under the mask.
"What's wrong?"
Yue Guan raised an eyebrow. "That kid, he can't be so scared that his legs go weak, can he?"
"No."
Ghost Douluo shook his head.
"He charged towards that fifty-year-old soul beast on his own initiative."
