Chapter 60: "How Can Taking My Own Soul Bone Be Called Stealing?"

Chapter 60: "How Can Taking My Own Soul Bone Be Called Stealing?"

"Kong, neither of us needs to advance. Why are we going to the Star Dou Forest?"

Dugu Yan's "wise" eyes held a hint of confusion.

Come to think of it, this was her first time visiting the Star Dou Forest. She had always obtained her spirit rings in the Sunset Forest, as her grandfather Dugu Bo was more familiar with it.

The Star Dou Forest was one of the forbidden zones for humans. Unless necessary, no one would voluntarily enter the Star Dou Forest.

"Why are we going to the Star Dou Forest? Of course, to… well, retrieve my own external spirit bone!"

"Even if I don't need it, I can't let others have it, especially someone as troublesome as Tang San."

Kong thought to himself but did not say aloud.

"Since we have nothing to do, let's take a trip to the Star Dou Forest. I've never been there."

"That's true, I've never been there either. Let's go together."

Dugu Yan nodded. With two elders protecting them, they shouldn't encounter any danger.

They didn't rent a carriage. After leaving the city, they headed straight for the Star Dou Forest.

Soto City was not far from the Star Dou Forest, only about 500 kilometers away. For soul masters, 500 kilometers was nothing and could be covered in two days.

Kong and Dugu Yan, being at least Soul King level, could reach the forest in half a day if they hurried.

However, Kong didn't seem to be in a hurry. They walked leisurely, stopping to admire the scenery along the way.

Kong remembered an old acquaintance once said, "The journey will reach its end one day, so there's no need to rush."

At this time, Tang San and his companions were still packing, unaware that Kong would reach the Star Dou Forest before them.

The so-called sightseeing was just an excuse to slow down. That old acquaintance was indeed an old friend, considering the presence of shadows and the Raiden Shogun, there had to be Morax, the rock god without mora.

Two days passed in a flash. Kong and Dugu Yan, along with Tang San and his companions, arrived at the small town outside the Star Dou Forest almost simultaneously.

They arrived within half an hour of each other.

Tang San and his group walked into an inn and were stunned.

"What are they doing here?"

They were puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Kong and Dugu Yan shouldn't have reached the requirements for advancement. What were they doing in the Star Dou Forest?

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others exchanged glances. Despite their confusion, they couldn't just turn around and leave. They had their pride.

They decided to pretend not to see Kong and Dugu Yan.

Flender glanced at Kong and Dugu Yan, then at Dai Mubai. He didn't say much and booked a room before heading upstairs.

Knowing Dai Mubai's temperament, he wouldn't provoke the other side at this moment. Relieved, Flender realized it wasn't his concern where the others went.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Dai Mubai sat at the table furthest from Kong, avoiding confrontation.

Kong and Dugu Yan noticed Tang San and his group but were not surprised. Everything was within their expectations.

Logically, Tang San and his group, having left a day later, shouldn't have encountered the Canghui Academy group or had any conflict with the Dragon Serpent Douluo. However, the "plot" seemed to correct itself, and the Canghui Academy group still arrived.

With a "bang," the inn's door was kicked open, causing the diners to frown. In a place like the Star Dou Forest, there were no ordinary people. Everyone was a soul master with a temper.

Just as they were about to curse, they saw the Canghui Academy group in uniform walking in, and swallowed their words.

The other side had many people, so it wasn't worth starting a quarrel over something trivial. Simply put, they chose to avoid conflict.

Tang San and Dai Mubai also frowned. The atmosphere was already tense due to Kong and Dugu Yan. The arrogant attitude of the Canghui Academy group was intolerable.

"The dean said that not daring to cause trouble is cowardly! Tang San, let's teach them a lesson!"

Dai Mubai's eyes flashed red. He slammed the table and angrily walked towards the Canghui Academy group.

"Not daring to cause trouble is cowardly?"

Tang San was stunned. Before he could think it over, Dai Mubai had already gone ahead. If Dai Mubai wasn't afraid, how could he be?

Besides, Flender was resting upstairs. If they couldn't handle it, their safety was assured!

Flender was a seventy-eighth level Soul Sage, even stronger than Zhao Wuji. With such a strong person backing them, what was there to fear?

"Yes, the dean said a soul master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good soul master. These people kicked the door, showing they intend to start something. Our retaliation will fulfill their wish."

Oscar didn't step forward but spoke to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu snapped out of her thoughts. Her face first showed determination, then she smiled slightly. "Fighting? That's my favorite!"

"You all need excuses to fight. I don't like that, but I like the saying! Sister Xiao Wu is pleased!"

Xiao Wu wasn't afraid of trouble. She followed Tang San and Dai Mubai towards the Canghui Academy group.

The atmosphere was already tense. Xiao Wu always had an inexplicable fear of Kong and Dugu Yan, not of them but of the forces and people behind them.

Their backgrounds were complicated, with Soul Douluo-level experts following them. Both had Title Douluo behind them. If the Title Douluo suddenly appeared, could she survive?

This was the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest. As long as she entered a bit, she wouldn't have to fear them. Even if the Title Douluo behind them appeared, they wouldn't return alive.

That was Xiao Wu's confidence!

During the journey, Xiao Wu pondered whether to return with Tang San and the others after this trip to the Star Dou Forest. The human world had become too dangerous for her.

There were also those two persistent threats. If she encountered the Title Douluo behind them, the outcome would be dire.

Unexpectedly, even in the Star Dou Forest, she ran into Kong and Dugu Yan again. She was truly desperate!

This encounter solidified her decision to stay in the Star Dou Forest for a while.
