Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Tang San Has Been Completely Duped!
The Star Dou Forest wasn't a place for petty disputes, and Meng Yiran knew it. Suppressing her frustration, she nodded to her grandparents.
"Yes, I've reached Rank 30."
As soon as she said this, she heard the voices of her grandparents echo in her mind.
"Yiran, take a good look at those students. Do you see any boy you fancy? These are all geniuses!"
Instinctively, Meng Yiran scanned the group. Her gaze eventually settled on Yun Feng, and for reasons she couldn't explain, she felt an innate sense of awe and submission toward him.
Noticing their granddaughter's reaction, the elderly couple exchanged knowing smiles. Following her gaze, they too focused on the black-haired, dark-eyed young man.
Such an unparalleled genius! If he could join their family or even the Beast Academy, their legacy would be secured, even after they passed away.
With this thought in mind, the Dragon Duke Meng Shu walked up to Yun Feng.
Yun Feng looked at the elderly man approaching him, unsure of his intentions.
Zhao Wuji, sensing something amiss, moved from Tang San's side to stand protectively by Yun Feng.
Meng Shu, observing Zhao Wuji's reaction, chuckled and said, "Teacher Zhao, no need to be on guard. I have no ill intentions—just a desire to chat with this young man."
Zhao Wuji glanced at Yun Feng, who nodded slightly. Reluctantly, Zhao Wuji stepped aside.
Yun Feng remained calm as he asked, "What can I do for you, Senior?"
Meng Shu's wrinkled face creased further as he smiled. "Young man, would you accompany me for a private conversation?"
After a night of rest, everyone's energy was fully restored, and the group resumed their hunt for suitable spirit beasts.
No one knew what Yun Feng and Meng Shu had discussed, as no one dared to eavesdrop on a conversation involving a Titled Douluo. The consequences of such an act were unimaginable.
However, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu noticed something unusual. Yun Feng appeared to have reached some sort of agreement with Meng Shu, but when they questioned him, he dodged their inquiries with vague responses.
To everyone's surprise, the group now had three additional members: Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, and Meng Yiran. The elderly couple and their granddaughter had decided to accompany the team.
Even Zhao Wuji found it hard to believe that their eight-person group had now grown to eleven.
While the expanded team meant increased safety, it also added complexity to the hunt. However, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang maintained a hands-off approach, insisting that the students take the lead in tracking and subduing spirit beasts.
When the conversation turned to Yun Feng's fourth spirit ring, Meng Shu naturally asked Zhao Wuji for his opinion.
Zhao Wuji, feeling embarrassed, admitted, "I don't have much expertise in martial spirits. Yun Feng knows his own needs best."
Meng Shu frowned. What kind of irresponsible teacher is this? And why would such a genius join such a clearly second-rate academy?
The more he thought about it, the more certain Meng Shu became. This Shrek Academy must be a no-name, unremarkable institution!
Eager to prove himself, Tang San seized the opportunity to share Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's theories.
"I believe Yun Feng could benefit from hunting a powerful plant-type spirit beast. My teacher told me that martial spirits and spirit beasts don't necessarily have to match perfectly. As long as their traits align, they can be compatible."
Tang San spoke with confidence, but the others looked puzzled.
"What is he even talking about?"
Even Yun Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
This kid has been completely duped by Grandmaster's nonsense!
To Yun Feng, Tang San's suggestion was not only absurd but also potentially destructive to one's future. He silently wished that the Titan Giant Ape would hurry up and appear to kidnap Xiao Wu.
The less exposure his martial spirit's abilities received, the better. If his augmentation capabilities were revealed, it would shock the spirit master world.
While his unique spirit ring configuration could be explained away by a powerful backing, his martial spirit's augmentation would likely attract the Spirit Hall's attention.
The group continued their search for spirit beasts. Despite being deep in the Star Dou Forest for two days, they failed to find a suitable spirit beast for Yun Feng.
Zhao Wuji was cautious, even with Meng Shu's presence, and didn't extend their search area too far.
Although they encountered some ten-thousand-year and thousand-year spirit beasts, none were suitable for Yun Feng. The remaining options were all low-level hundred-year beasts.
The forest's constant dangers wore on everyone. Although food wasn't an issue, the constant tension left them fatigued.
The harsh environment forced the students to work together more effectively. Over time, their teamwork became more seamless.
Even without Zhao Wuji and Meng Shu's intervention, the group could handle most spirit beasts under a thousand years.
For Yun Feng, even ordinary ten-thousand-year beasts posed little threat, as long as they weren't extraordinarily powerful or special species.
This training environment honed their skills and increased their combat experience. The students were clearly outstanding, as Shrek Academy only accepted the best.
Under Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's guidance, the students' overall combat abilities and strategies improved significantly, even if their spirit power levels remained unchanged.
Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang took a particular interest in Yun Feng, treating him almost like a grandson.
This left Meng Yiran feeling conflicted. She couldn't understand why her grandparents were so focused on Yun Feng, constantly mentoring him.
