Zhao Wuji had initially intended to reprimand Ao Tian in the same way he had scolded Tang San. However, upon hearing that Ao Tian had created a Soul Tool, he immediately abandoned the idea and instead wanted to offer some praise.
But given his usual stern demeanor, it was difficult for him to utter words of praise.
The group fell silent again. After finishing breakfast, they continued on their journey to help Zhu Zhuqing find a soul ring.
According to Zhu Zhuqing, she wanted a soul ring from a cat-type soul beast, as it would be the most compatible with her Netherworld Spirit Cat spirit.
If they couldn't find one, a tiger-type soul beast would also be acceptable. These two types of soul beasts shared many similarities, although cat-type soul beasts excelled in speed and agility, while tiger-type soul beasts were stronger.
After another day, in the afternoon of the second day, Zhu Zhuqing finally obtained her third soul ring and gained the soul skill, Netherworld Slash.
That afternoon, the group immediately returned. They were already in the evening when they left the Star Dou Great Forest, and they spent the night at the small town.
When the sun rose again, they set off from the town, still running. This time, Zhao Wuji didn't mention eating sausages anymore.
He understood that it was almost impossible to get these stubborn little guys to eat Oscar's big sausages. He could only hope they would set aside their pride and accept Oscar's sausages when they were injured in the future.
On the way back, Gu Yue Na no longer carried Ning Rongrong on her back. Ning Rongrong had been trailing behind the group, wanting to give up several times. But when she thought about Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing, who were the same age as her, just becoming Soul Elders, she was stimulated. A spirit of not wanting to lose was ignited within her.
After running for several hours, the speed of the team's progress was significantly slowed down by Ning Rongrong.
Zhao Wuji seemed to want to temper Ning Rongrong's mentality and hadn't called a stop. He also didn't let anyone help Ning Rongrong.
Finally, at noon, Ning Rongrong fell into a faint. The young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, running until she fainted, was something that was simply impossible before.
Only then did Zhao Wuji have Gu Yue Na, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing take turns carrying Ning Rongrong, one person carrying her for an hour. The team's speed increased, and they finally returned to Shrek Academy in the evening.
As they approached Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong had already woken up and insisted on getting down to walk on her own.
At the entrance of the boys' dormitory, Ning Rongrong, looking exhausted, said, "Ao Tian, you must remember to forge bows and arrows for me."
Ao Tian said, "Don't worry, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
For him, crafting these low-level items was as easy as eating and drinking, requiring no effort at all.
Tang San, who was about to return to his room, stopped and turned back with a puzzled look, asking, "Ao Tian, you said you can craft a Soul Tool in just one night?"
Ao Tian looked at him with a smile, asking, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Tang San frowned, saying, "How is that possible? The more advanced the weapon, the longer it takes to forge, and it's a Soul Tool at that, such a magical thing. How could it be completed overnight?"
Zhao Wuji, who was about to leave, also stopped when he heard Tang San's words and listened curiously from the side.
Ao Tian asked, "Do you know how Soul Tools are made?"
Tang San shook his head, saying, "I don't."
"How do you know I can't make one in a night?"
Tang San opened his mouth, speechless. Although he didn't believe Ao Tian could create a Soul Tool overnight, he couldn't find any strong arguments to refute it.
After all, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to make a Soul Tool before.
Zhao Wuji said, "Ao Tian, when you make the Soul Tool, can we watch?"
Ao Tian chuckled and countered, "Teacher Zhao, do you think such an important secret can be shared with just anyone?"
Zhao Wuji was somewhat annoyed by Ao Tian's attitude, but he knew he had spoken out of turn, so he could only leave with a stern face.
Tang San looked at Ao Tian and said seriously, "I'm really looking forward to seeing how powerful the Soul Tool bow and arrow you make will be."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then, why don't you two have a competition tomorrow with the weapons you both make? It would also allow us to broaden our horizons."
Ning Rongrong's words piqued even Zhu Zhuqing's interest.
Tang San was intrigued. "I'm up for it. Ao Tian, what about you?"
"I told you, I'm ready anytime."
Tang San said, "Great. My strength has also reached Soul Elder. I'll challenge you again tomorrow. During the fight, I can use my hidden weapons, and you can use the Soul Tools you've created."
"It's settled then," Ao Tian replied.
Just then, with a creak, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's dorm room door opened, and a plump figure emerged.
"Oscar, you're back?" Ma Hongjun exclaimed as soon as he saw them.
Ao Tian and the others had spent a total of five days in the Star Dou Great Forest. Ma Hongjun had also been undergoing treatment for five or six days. The layer of charred dead skin on his body had already peeled off, revealing a layer of red skin underneath.
This layer of red skin was extremely hideous and frightening. His chubby face was severely burned and deformed, with no eyebrows or hair. At this moment, Ma Hongjun could be said to have become a monster.
The girls, Xiao Wu and the others, were about to leave when they heard Ma Hongjun's voice and turned back to look.
Two high-pitched screams pierced the air, one from Xiao Wu and the other from Ning Rongrong. Both of them were startled by Ma Hongjun's disfigured appearance.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't scream, but she was clearly frightened. She quickly turned her head, unable to bear looking any longer.
Gu Yue Na stared at Ma Hongjun's appearance, a strange smile playing on her lips.
Ma Hongjun only then noticed the four girls in the distance, and he hastily retreated.
"Is this that disgusting Ma Hongjun? How did he become like this? This appearance is too disgusting," Xiao Wu's face was a little pale.
Ning Rongrong felt equally uncomfortable, feeling her stomach churn, as if she wanted to vomit.
"Let's go," Zhu Zhuqing said.
The four girls returned to their dorm.
Tang San and Oscar were stunned, unable to quite process Ma Hongjun's new appearance.
Oscar hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door and went inside. Tang San followed.
Ao Tian found it interesting and also entered Ma Hongjun's room.
Inside the room, Ma Hongjun sat on his bed, on the verge of tears.
His severely burned face was shocking, making Oscar reluctant to look.
"Fatty, how did you end up like this?" Oscar asked.
Ma Hongjun was extremely upset and didn't speak.
Across the room, Dai Mubai slowly sat up on the bed, sighed, and said, "We've both been undergoing treatment these past few days. His face is like this after the dead skin fell off."
"Is there any cure?" Oscar asked.
Dai Mubai shook his head. "The Dean and the teachers have tried many methods, but the effects are minimal. We can only wait and see if it improves over time, or maybe go to other cities to find some powerful healing Soul Masters."
"Xiao Ao, give me a Big Sausage." Ma Hongjun suddenly said.
He used to be very resistant to Oscar's Big Sausage, but now, even with a sliver of hope, he was willing to try.
"I have a Big Sausage." Oscar quickly recited the spell and made a sausage for Ma Hongjun.
The sausage went down, giving Ma Hongjun a warm feeling, but unfortunately, the burned skin on his body did not improve.
Ma Hongjun completely broke down, wailing, "How am I supposed to find a girlfriend looking like this? I don't want to live…"
