Chapter 85 You can cook?
Wu Ming took out a long sword and plunged it into the lion king's jaw, scalding hot lion blood gushing out. If Wu Ming hadn't been prepared beforehand and released the Golden Crow True Fire to protect herself, her clothes would probably have been stained with the lion blood everywhere.
As Wu Ming moved, a jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring emerged from the corpse of the Burning Flame Lion King.
Having prepared in advance, Wu Ming sat cross-legged on the cushion, closed her eyes and meditated, activating her martial spirit and drawing the 50,000-year-old Lion King spirit ring onto her body. The violent, scorching energy surged into her body through the spirit ring.
However, Wu Ming, as a Soul Emperor, was quite experienced. In addition, since this Soul Ring did not exceed her absorption limit, she was able to smoothly guide the Soul Ring energy to continuously fuse with her Martial Soul.
Seeing that Wu Ming's soul ring absorption was progressing smoothly, Zhang Lexuan immediately notified Elder Xuan through the inner courtyard's communication channels. Once Wu Ming's soul ring absorption was complete, she instructed Elder Xuan to send those who had acquired their soul rings back to the academy.
As night deepened, thanks to Wu Ming and the Lion King, the surrounding vegetation had turned to ash. Since the location was conveniently near water and offered a wide view, the group pitched a tent around Wu Ming, who was still absorbing his soul ring.
The disheveled old man, Xuan Lao, descended from the sky in his original form, carrying a gourd of wine in one hand and a roasted meat in the other.
This time it's not a chicken leg, it's a rabbit leg. Huo Yuhao examined it carefully and confirmed that it was indeed a ten-thousand-year-old soft-boned rabbit's leg.
Elder Xuan glanced around and nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Zhang Lexuan and said, "You guys are quite efficient. In less than four days, everyone except Huo Yuhao has acquired their soul rings."
Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly and said respectfully with a blank expression, "Elder Xuan, could you please take the others and leave first tomorrow morning? Yuhao's soul rings will probably need to be checked in the inner perimeter of the mixed zone. Apart from Ming'er, the others are lacking in strength in too many ways."
Elder Xuan waved his hand, then poured another mouthful of wine from his gourd and said, "Le Xuan, I understand what you mean. I'll keep watch tonight, so you all get some rest. I'll take them away tomorrow morning, so you and Huo Yuhao should be careful."
Zhang Lexuan nodded, then pointed to a tent not far away and said, "Elder Xuan, this is for you."
The disheveled old man glanced at her with bleary eyes, then chuckled and said, "Le Xuan is so well-prepared! I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
As he spoke, Elder Xuan took a bite of the roasted rabbit leg in his hand, chewing as he staggered inside, clutching his wine gourd.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but roll his eyes. Wasn't it agreed that you were supposed to keep watch? How come you've already gone to sleep so soon!
A cold glint flashed across Zhang Lexuan's eyes, her expression complex. Bathed in the pale moonlight, a faint sadness graced her exquisite face, and her elegantly styled black hair swayed gently in the evening breeze.
Huo Yuhao had a feeling that his senior sister seemed to be secretly grieving and crying silently. But when he looked at Zhang Lexuan's face, he didn't see her actually shedding tears.
Only at this moment did Huo Yuhao seem to be touched somewhere.
He understood Zhang Lexuan's feelings at that moment.
That was it: the greatest sorrow is a broken heart, and what is lost cannot be brought back.
Those who do nothing, who claim to be repenting but spend their days indulging in wine and women and living a life of decadence, have not made any progress whatsoever compared to their past selves.
As a teacher with great power, she couldn't bring herself to utter arrogant words to rebuke or seek justice for her deceased comrades.
Many times, many things cannot be done just because you want to. Too many obstacles stand in your way, blocking Zhang Lexuan's path and sealing her heart.
Nothing was said that night; the moon set and the sun rose.
Given Elder Xuan's strength, even if he were asleep, the mere leakage of his aura wouldn't deter any soul beasts from disturbing him. Of course, if this is what his so-called night watch truly means, then there's nothing more to say.
Having suffered severe psychological trauma, Zhang Lexuan dared not relax like Elder Xuan, and instead chose to obediently guard the eve of the night.
She waited until Wu Ming finished absorbing the nutrients and then took her shift before she went to catch up on some sleep.
At this moment, Elder Xuan, swaying his wine gourd, staggered out of the tent, seemingly a little unhappy, as if he hadn't prepared enough wine.
Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao stood together, while Wu Ming and the other four outer court disciples stood together, creating a somewhat somber atmosphere.
The gourd in Elder Xuan's hand was probably truly empty, so he had no choice but to put it into his soul tool. Only at this moment did the disheveled old man raise his head and look at the crowd that had been waiting for him for a long time.
Old Master Xuan drooped his eyelids, rolled his cloudy eyes, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and then said in a hoarse and aged voice, "It seems you are all ready. Let's do it now. Le Xuan, you and Huo Yuhao have breakfast by yourselves. I'll take these people back."
Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, said nothing, and simply nodded.
Wu Ming was alright, but the other four students from the outer courtyard looked at each other, somewhat confused. Shouldn't they have eaten first, given how far the journey was?
Clearly, they hadn't yet realized just how exaggerated Elder Xuan's strength as a level 98 Super Douluo truly was.
The earthen-yellow soul power instantly enveloped Wu Ming and the other four people. Elder Xuan leaped into the sky, and the soul power shield formed by the earthen-yellow soul power also flew up with him.
A terrifying surge of soul power erupted instantly, and in the blink of an eye, Elder Xuan, Wu Ming, and the four outer court disciples had all vanished without a trace.
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth. He genuinely disapproved of Elder Xuan's actions, but he was still very impressed by Elder Xuan's strength. The imposing aura Elder Xuan had displayed just now had made this novice, still in the developmental stage, extremely envious.
Zhang Lexuan, on the other hand, seemed used to this. She had already taken out a flint and steel and relit the campfire that had gone out the night before. The reason for lighting the campfire last night was because Elder Xuan was there. Not having enough strength to start a fire at night in the Star Dou Great Forest was an extremely dangerous thing.
Huo Yuhao saw Zhang Lexuan stick the leftover roasted meat from last night into the campfire and quietly walked over.
"Sister Lexuan, if you don't mind, you can let me help you. I'm quite confident in my cooking skills." As he spoke, Huo Yuhao pointed to the skewer of roasted lion meat next to the campfire.
After the Flame Lion King died yesterday, adhering to the principle of "everyone who sees it gets a share," Zhang Lexuan simply cut it up. This roasted meat was Zhang Lexuan's own creation from yesterday; Huo Yuhao tried it and could only say it was mediocre.
But compared to the nutritious meals at Shrek Academy, this is definitely a delicacy, right?
Zhang Lexuan raised her eyes, looked at Huo Yuhao, and asked with some curiosity, "You can cook?"
