And on top of that, Li Chang'an saw two acquaintances, one was his classmate. Song Chuan Tao and the other was the shy girl Mu Ruoxi.
Li Chang'an was still surprised by Song Chuan Tao's presence this time, which meant that Song Chuan Tao would soon be advancing to the 50th level of Spirit King!
Li Chang'an remembers hearing from Xie Yue that Song Chuan Tao was not only the leader of the elite class, but also the leader of the entire Spirit Hall Academy, and now it did seem to be considered true to his name.
A Spirit King who was less than twenty years old was considered very good in normal circumstances.
But Li Chang'an didn't even look much at Song Chuan Tao's head, after greeting the lead teacher and Doronka first, he walked straight to his shy sister Mu Ruoxi.
"You're level ten?"
Mu Ruoxi wasn't an innate full spirit power, and it was normal to cultivate to level ten in nearly two months, so Li Chang'an wasn't surprised that she would be in the group, he was just a little worried.
After all, it was the Star Dou Great Forest that he was going to, and if he hadn't gone there himself, it would have been strange if Mu Ruoxi's hadn't been bullied, so he was still quite emotional that he had inadvertently had to be a flower protector again.
Mu Ruoxi was still looking down at her toes, wearing a plain dress, her long hair covering half of her face, and still having that weak air about herself.
"Yes, yes ah, you, what are you doing there?"
Mu Ruoxi's little brain short-circuited, but she would never have thought that Li Chang'an had already advanced to level twenty and was going to obtain a spirit ring.
And naturally, Li Chang'an wouldn't say that, only to see him put his hand on Mu Ruoxi's soft shoulder and say, "I just know you're going to go spirit ring hunting, so I'm here to protect you."
Mu Ruoxi's body suddenly squirmed when she heard Li Chang'an's words, then Mu Ruoxi foolishly looked up at Li Chang'an with those seductive peach blossom eyes.
"It's not necessary, I... I can do it."
Li Chang'an said, "No, no, I must protect you, so you can follow this brother without worry."
Li Chang'an felt a little sorry for himself for lying to such a simple child.
Seeing this, Mu Ruoxi had no choice but to nod.
"Thank you."
But when Li Chang'an heard this, he lowered his head and blew hot air on her earlobe, "If you want to thank me, then be my girlfriend when you grow up."
Like a frightened bunny, Mu Ruoxi ducked away from Li Chang'an's side and lowered her head without saying a word, but her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
Li Chang'an also stopped flirting with Mu Ruoxi, as the teacher was about to give a lecture after the headcount.
"Hello students, I am Director Song of the academy, a seventy-third level Spirit Saint, I will help you all obtain your spirit rings this time, you can also look for me if you have difficulties."
"Remember one thing, listen to my command for all actions, if you'll be blindly acting on your own, the academy will not be responsible for anything that happens!"
Director Song spoke simply and clearly, and was also very competent, after explaining the safety instructions he greeted the crowd and boarded the carriage, heading towards the Star Dou Forest.
...
The forest straddles the two empires, and because there are many spirit beasts here, it is also the place where the borders of the two countries are mostly indistinguishable.
Of course, the Heavenly Dou Empire has never acknowledged this, and as one of the three major wild spirit beast settlements, this is naturally the place where spirit masters most wish to come, as every time they come here, it means they are about to advance in rank.
No one could say how many years the Star Dou Forest had existed in the Douluo Continent, but after walking into the forest, the dense cover of the sky was enough to tell people how long it had existed.
Li Chang'an and his group arrived in the afternoon, and the carriage had only stopped at the outer edge of the forest, not deeper.
When they got off the carriage, Li Chang'an didn't care whether Mu Ruoxi was willing or not, he just took her hand and pulled her down without a word.
"You, can you let go of me." Mu Ruoxi's crispy and soft voice came out, causing Li Chang'an to hear a wave of relief.
"I won't let go, just stay close to me so that I can protect you." Li Chang'an felt the tenderness in his hand and was not at all polite.
Mu Ruoxi tried to struggle a few more times but gave up when she saw that she couldn't struggle.
"Now rest for a while on this occasion, later we will go in and you can adjust yourselves and eat something." Director Song said as he stood in front of the group.
After all, many people in the carriage before couldn't concentrate on cultivating or eating, and after rushing for so long, it was bad to enter the Star Dou Forest in this state.
As Director Song's words fell, a few students sat down on the grass and cultivated, while others began to take something from their storage spirit guides to eat.
Naturally, Li Chang'an wouldn't cultivate, he was a lazy person who didn't know what cultivation was all about, and grumpily pulled Mu Ruoxi to sit on the grass, then Li Chang'an started to fetch things from his spirit guide.
And at this time, Mu Ruoxi also took a bun out of the small bag she was carrying, then after thinking about it, she broke it into two halves again and handed half to Li Chang'an.
"Do you, do you want to try it? I, I made it myself."
Li Chang'an looked at the bun and was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to be able to make buns at such a young age, but then he thought of Mu Ruoxi's orphan status and understood a lot.
"Yes, you can try the ones I brought too." Li Chang'an shoved a cup of juice and cookies into Mu Xi's hand without a word, then Li Chang'an thought for a moment and took out another small jar.
"You give me another one of your buns." Li Chang'an opened the small jar and then said to Mu Ruoxi.
Mu Ruoxi obediently took out another bun and handed it to Li Chang'an.
He saw Li Chang'an tear a slit in the bun and then stuffed a lot of the marinated meat from the jar with a spoon, "This is called a meat bun, try it, this marinated meat is my chef's secret product."
Mu Ruoxi's pair of peach blossom eyes glanced at Li Chang'an with some warmth and said thank you, before taking a small bite of the bun for herself and instantly revealed a satisfied smile.
This way of eating was indeed somewhat special, and this meat was indeed delicious ...
"You, do you want to eat it?" Mu Ruoxi asked Li Chang'an as she looked at him staring at her, somewhat embarrassed.
Li Chang'an shook his head and shook his head. This was something he had brought along, if Mu Ruoxi hadn't brought the buns he wouldn't have remembered to bring out it.
Mu Ruoxi shook her head firmly, then took half of the bun from before and tore it open, pouring the meat from her meat bun into it almost one by one until it was stuffed so full that it was almost overflowing.
"You, you eat this half, don't be hungry."
Mu Ruoxi's small hand timidly handed the half of the burnt bun filled with meat to Li Chang'an, but she still sheepishly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Li Chang'an.
