Entering the Star Dou Forest

In sixth and last year at Nuoding Academy,

After solidifying his foundation and achieving mastery over elemental control, Feng Xuan felt now was the time to get a spirit ring. His soul power had already reached level 30, and it solidified, so it was time for him to seek his third spirit ring. Unlike his previous quests, this time he wanted to prove his independence by obtaining the spirit ring without his teacher's direct intervention.

He had studied in the past and now knows much about spirit beast and their specification. Now, he doesn't have guidance to find an appropriate spirit beast so he wants nature to take his course and just go to the forest to train in the real world.

Before embarking on his quest for the third spirit ring, Feng Xuan approached the dean of Nuoding Academy to request a leave of absence.

Feng Xuan stood before the dean's desk, a determined look on his face. The dean, an elderly man with kind eyes and a stern demeanour looked up from his papers and met Feng Xuan's gaze.

Dean asked, "Feng Xuan, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit today?"

Feng Xuan replied with determination "Dean, I've come to request a leave of absence. I want to meet Grandpa."

Dean nodded with approval, "Very well, Feng Xuan. I will grant you leave. But promise me that you will be joining the class as soon as possible."

Feng Xuan: "I promise, Dean. Thank you for your understanding."

Dean: "Good luck, Feng Xuan."

With the dean's permission granted, Feng Xuan felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He thanked the dean once more and left the office, ready to embark on his journey to the Star Dou Forest.

He wants to go to Star Dou forest and broaden his horizon by seeing species of spirit beast live in forest. He had learned consignment art which can hide his aura and breathe from the spirit beast but he still needed to be careful. He doesn't have the protection of his master for now.

Just as Feng Xuan was about to leave the academy grounds, he saw Xiao Wu coming in his direction. Despite his efforts to make as little contact with her as possible, Xiao Wu always seemed to find her way to him. She often came by to chat, her lively personality making it hard to avoid her completely.

Xiao Wu asked about his day and where he was heading. Feng Xuan tried to keep his tone casual, saying he had some work back at the village, nothing too exciting. Xiao Wu tilted her head, curiosity evident in her eyes, and commented on how he seemed to be in a hurry. Feng Xuan nodded, attempting to maintain his nonchalant facade, and explained that it was something urgent needing his attention and that he would be back soon enough.

Xiao Wu's expression softened, showing a mix of concern and acceptance. She reminded him to be careful, noting that the village could be a bit tricky to get to. Feng Xuan gave her a reassuring smile and told her not to worry, thanking her for checking in. Xiao Wu nodded, still looking a bit skeptical but willing to let it go, and said she would see him soon.

With a final wave, Feng Xuan turned and continued on his way, his mind focused on the task ahead. He didn't want to reveal his true intentions or the extent of his strength to Xiao Wu.

Feng Xuan left the academy and headed for Star Dou Forest, his mind set on training and obtaining his new spirit ring. With his mastery of space and improved strength, he felt confident in his ability to face even the most formidable spirit beasts. He knew he could now fight beasts up to 10,000 years old and escape unscathed if confronted by an even stronger one. His target was clear: an 8,000-year-old spirit ring, something that would push his limits further.

As he entered the dense forest, Feng Xuan activated his concealing technique, blending seamlessly with his surroundings. The forest was alive with the sounds of various spirit beasts, each a potential threat and opportunity. Moving deeper into the forest, he kept his senses alert, scanning for any sign of a suitable spirit beast.

Hours passed as he ventured further, encountering and evading numerous beasts. His stealth allowed him to bypass unnecessary confrontations, conserving his energy for the real challenge. He knew that the deeper he went, the stronger the beasts would be, and he was prepared for the battle that awaited him.

Eventually, he sensed a powerful presence nearby. Using his space mastery, he swiftly moved towards the source, remaining undetected. As he approached a clearing, he saw a massive beast – a 1000-year-old Firestorm Wolf. The beast's fur crackled with flames, and its eyes glowed with an intense heat, illuminating the clearing.

Feng Xuan took a deep breath, focusing his mind. He knew this was the moment he had been preparing for. Drawing on his elemental mastery, he readied himself for the fight. The Firestorm Wolf snarled, sensing the intruder, and charged towards him with blazing speed.

Firestorm wolf has the ability to use the storm to bind their enemy, so Feng Xuan knows that this beast is appropriate for his third spirit ring but age is not appropriate.

So, Feng Xuan uses water-wind element fusion and fire arrow with the ability of ice to bind Firestorm wolf. He only binds it and leaves to find another one with the appropriate age.

He went deeper to find the Firestorm wolf. After searching for a long hour he finds some cry of beast so he follows it.

 At the same time, on a hillside not far from here, a young girl looked terrified, but there was a terrible anger between her eyebrows.

"Dai Mubai, I hate you!"

"If I can survive, I must make you pay for your weak behavior!"

The girl has a beautiful face, but her face is cold that is thousands of miles away.

The black tights will vividly set off the bumpy figure. She walks lightly like a dexterous cat.
