Shi Yu shrugged. See? He wasn't wrong.
"Just good luck," Xu Sanshi stubbornly insisted, unwilling to admit the accuracy of Shi Yu's judgment.
Beibei crushed the venomous snake to death and casually tossed it aside, releasing a white, ten-year soul ring.
"In the Star Dou Great Forest, besides powerful soul beasts of advanced age that require vigilance, some weaker soul beasts also need to be treated with extreme caution."
"Take this tree snake for example. It's hard to spot when it's clinging to a tree. If Shi Yu hadn't warned you beforehand, you might have already been bitten."
"This tree snake is highly venomous. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's not even a hundred years old; its venom could absolutely kill a near-Soul Master like you."
"You're still safe and sound thanks to Shi Yu, and this is your attitude?" Zhang Lexuan said with a frown, showing no respect for Xu Sanshi.
"I..." Xu Sanshi wanted to argue that he wouldn't have been in trouble even without Shi Yu's reminder.
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's stern gaze, he couldn't bring himself to speak and glared angrily at Shi Yu.
Shi Yu just looked at him like that, waiting for his thanks.
"Thank you very much," Xu Sanshi said reluctantly, but he could only express his gratitude due to Zhang Lexuan's domineering attitude.
Shi Yu didn't follow up or respond, which made Xu Sanshi furious.
The other party isn't giving him any face at all, not even a shred of courtesy?
"Your judgment is quite reliable. Next, I'll have to ask you to be more aware of your surroundings. If you see any elusive creatures hiding, be sure to speak up. It's always good to be vigilant in advance," Zhang Lexuan said to Shi Yu.
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, she became quite cautious, mainly because she had suffered greatly in the past and learned a painful lesson, so she dared not be careless.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, a place fraught with danger, even a Title Douluo would need to proceed with caution, let alone a Soul Saint like her.
"Okay," Shi Yu nodded, taking on the task of sensing the surroundings.
Zhang Lexuan also released her mental energy appropriately. Her mental energy was superior to Shi Yu's, but her perception ability was not as good as Shi Yu's.
The main reason is that Shi Yu's perception is quite special; it relies on feedback from the space, and this perception effect is superior to that of ordinary mental perception.
Before they knew it, half a day had passed since they entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
They encountered many spirit beasts along the way, but none of them were suitable to become their spirit rings.
I've encountered ten-year-old soul beasts, hundred-year-old soul beasts, and even a thousand-year-old soul beast.
But none of them are suitable. The soul beasts that Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan need are all four or five thousand years old, and it is still very difficult to find one at this location.
There are many suitable age ranges for Shi Yu's soul beasts, but their attributes are not suitable. So far, he has not encountered any soul beasts with spatial attributes.
I haven't even encountered any attributes related to spatial properties.
After a short rest and some dry rations, the group continued their search.
They continued searching deeper, prioritizing finding spirit rings for Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan.
As for Shi Yu's spirit ring, that depends on luck. Space-attribute spirit beasts are rare and hard to come by, so they are not suitable for priority searching.
A few hours later…
"Roar!" The Thunder Wolf roared and charged at Bei Bei, preferring to attack Bei Bei, who was also a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master who controlled lightning, as if it wanted to compete with him in terms of lightning abilities.
Beibei was not afraid. Her arm transformed into a dragon, unleashing lightning that clashed with the lightning wolf multiple times, with Beibei always coming out on the losing end.
This Thunder Wolf, over 5,000 years old, is incredibly powerful; BeiBei wouldn't stand a chance against it in a one-on-one fight.
Fortunately, he wasn't alone. Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan joined the battle to help him deal with the Thunder Wolf.
Shi Yu stayed with Zhang Lexuan, and he, who currently only had one spirit ring, did not join the battle.
Zhang Lexuan simply watched intently, without any intention of offering to help.
Her primary task is protection; she will not intervene unless in a crisis.
Letting them face these spirit beasts alone will also train them; Shrek Academy students can't grow up in a comfortable environment. Shi Yu's attention was mainly on Jiang Nannan; she was someone he knew well, a friend, so naturally he cared about her.
"Sister Nan Nan, be careful!" Shi Yu cried out in alarm when he saw the Thunder Wolf seize the opportunity to pounce on Jiang Nan Nan.
Without the slightest hesitation, the yellow spirit ring floated out from under his feet, flashing with light, and he activated his first spirit skill, Soaring Technique.
When Jiang Nannan saw the lightning wolf pounce, she felt a strong sense of oppression and her body went numb from the lightning.
She was about to use her teleportation skill to dodge when suddenly her body felt light and she was quickly lifted upwards at a speed that startled her.
Jiang Nannan leaped upwards, dodging the onrushing lightning wolves, gradually slowing down, and finally stopping about twenty or thirty meters above the ground.
"What am I doing..." Jiang Nannan was a little confused at first, but she quickly realized what was going on and looked at Shi Yu.
The latter smiled at her, saying, "It's good that you're alright."
A smile instinctively bloomed on Jiang Nannan's face, and her heart felt warm.
Although she could have dodged it herself, she was still somewhat moved by Shi Yu's rescue.
Zhang Lexuan looked on in surprise, her gaze shifting back and forth between Jiang Nannan and Shi Yu, who were flying in the air.
"Can your soul skill keep the target suspended in mid-air?" Zhang Lexuan asked curiously.
"If I wanted to, and if I still had soul power, I could keep the target suspended in the air," Shi Yu replied.
"Doesn't that mean you can grant your teammates the ability to fly? And also make your opponents take off?" Zhang Lexuan asked in surprise.
"I guess so," Shi Yu nodded.
"This ability is quite powerful if used properly," Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but praise, thinking of the many uses of this soul skill.
The ability to launch all opponents into the air is itself a very good support skill, and can sometimes play a crucial role.
"I told you not to hurt Nan Nan!" Xu Sanshi belatedly realized what was happening, and fiercely charged at the Thunder Wolf with the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield in hand.
He hated that beast to the core for actually giving that brat Shi Yu the chance to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
He was also secretly annoyed at his own slowness, for failing to seize such a good opportunity.
With a "bang," the enraged Xu Sanshi sent the Thunder Wolf flying.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi worked together seamlessly, launching a series of attacks that dealt a heavy blow to the Thunder Wolf.
After a battle lasting more than ten minutes, the Thunder Wolf was killed, and a purple spirit ring floated out.
After a short rest, Beibei began absorbing the Thunder Wolf's soul ring.
"Nannan, are you alright?" After the battle, Xu Sanshi rushed to Jiang Nannan to check on her.
"Don't call me so intimately, please call me by my full name." Jiang Nannan was indifferent to Xu Sanshi and didn't pay much attention to him.
She came over to Shi Yu and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help earlier."
"Don't be so polite with me. Besides, even if I don't help, Sister Nan should be able to handle it. You seemed quite calm just now," Shi Yu said with a slight smile.
Jiang Nannan didn't deny it; she was indeed capable of handling it.
Xu Sanshi was furious to see Jiang Nannan, who was extremely cold to him, being so enthusiastic and even intimate with Shi Yu.
"Shi Yu, stay away from Nan Nan!" Xu Sanshi couldn't help but scold and warn again.
