Duolou: After taking advice, I became Supreme!

Looking into the distance, Yun Feng saw a vast green ocean. The endless expanse of greenery was breathtaking, and the refreshing air seemed to come directly from it.

Finally, they arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest. Towering trees, at least twenty meters high, marked the forest's outer edge. The dense forest had no clear paths, with shadows of trees obscuring any clear view of what lay within.

Standing before the forest, the air became even more refreshing, almost as if the temperature had dropped slightly. The cool sensation mixed with the damp fragrance of soil, stimulating everyone's senses.

Before entering, Yun Feng activated Ah Yin's ability, connecting with the Blue Silver Grass within the forest and spreading his intent throughout, hoping to gather useful information.

Having completed this, Yun Feng heard Zhao Wuji's voice.

"Everyone, halt."

Since Zhao Wuji was the strongest among them, everyone instinctively turned to him upon hearing his command.

They stopped, their bodies warmed up after traveling over a hundred li. For Oscar and Ning Rongrong, being support-type Soul Masters, their physical condition was decent but couldn't compare to Yun Feng and Dai Mubai.

Oscar quietly chanted his somewhat inappropriate incantation, handing each person a sausage. This time, no one refused—they knew the Star Dou Forest was no place to take lightly.

Danger could strike at any moment, and even Zhao Wuji needed to be cautious.

Even though they were only at the outskirts, no rule stated that high-level Soul Beasts couldn't wander to the edge. Being cautious was essential.

Yun Feng had no thoughts of arrogance or pride—life is precious, and who knows if he'd get lucky with another reincarnation if he were to die here.

Zhao Wuji turned serious, looking at Yun Feng and the others, then announced loudly:

"Listen carefully. The Star Dou Forest is nothing like the state-sanctioned hunting grounds for Soul Beasts. The creatures here are extremely dangerous. At any moment, you might encounter Soul Beasts that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. Therefore, once inside, stay within twenty meters of each other."

He directed this especially toward Ning Rongrong and Oscar, as they were both support-type Soul Masters.

"Understood," everyone responded, nodding.

After confirming that the group was ready, Zhao Wuji waved his hand, signaling them forward.

As they stepped into the forest, Dai Mubai took the lead, positioning himself at the front of the group.

Among them, Xiao Wu was the most excited upon entering the forest. She didn't seem to see it as dangerous at all, bouncing around happily, which made Zhao Wuji frown. But as long as she didn't go beyond his set boundary, he let it slide.

Xiao Wu's enthusiasm contrasted sharply with everyone else's more cautious demeanor, which they all noticed.

Yun Feng gently pulled her aside, signaling a reminder. Xiao Wu quickly realized her overexcitement and nodded in understanding, gesturing to the others that she would be quiet.

Navigating the Star Dou Forest was difficult, as there were no trails. Dai Mubai naturally took up the task of clearing the path. Using his Martial Soul, his tiger claws extended with sharp blades, slicing through the thorns and shrubs, pushing their way forward.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar moved to the center of the group, while Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun guarded the sides, and Yun Feng took up the rear.

Tang San walked close behind Yun Feng, enhancing his sight and hearing, observing the surroundings cautiously.

Yun Feng cast a brief look of envy in his direction. Although he practiced Taiji Fist, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was a treasure trove of knowledge on herbs, hidden weapons, forging, cultivation, and more. It even mentioned exotic creatures like the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake from Tang San's original world.

The fact that such ancient creatures from the mythic era existed intrigued Yun Feng, making him feel wary of Tang San's background.

Yun Feng often wondered what kind of world Tang San came from—a place that combined martial arts with fantasy, progressing to mythical levels as it approached the Slaughter City.

However, Yun Feng put these thoughts aside. In a direct confrontation with Tang San, he wasn't confident he could secure victory. Tang San could easily pose a threat, making it unwise to take risks, especially in this place.

The Star Dou Forest was not just any Soul Beast forest. Wild Soul Beasts were highly aggressive, harboring deep resentment toward humans who hunted them for power. Worse, some Soul Beasts roamed in packs, meaning they could face an entire group of powerful wild Soul Beasts.

In this setting, even a strong Soul Master could struggle to fend them off. Any misstep could spell disaster.

As they advanced, they soon encountered a group of Soul Beasts. Under Zhao Wuji's cautious command, everyone halted, looking at the orderly line of ants blocking their path.

Yun Feng recognized this Soul Beast instantly.

The Strength Ant—a relatively weak species.

Yun Feng was reminded of the trio of Strength Ant Emperors deep within the Star Dou Forest.

What wrong had they committed? Their only fault was defending their kin. Yet, Tang San had exterminated them with a flimsy excuse.

Of course, from a Soul Master's perspective, this was natural; Soul Masters and Soul Beasts were inherently opposed.

Yet, Tang San's actions felt particularly hypocritical to Yun Feng. Why bother with an excuse to kill them?

The conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts needed no justification, yet Tang San's excuse made him seem exceptionally insincere.

Today, he dared to drink from the Lake of Life. Tomorrow, who knows what he'd dare to do?
