I was bought by a princess as soon as I transmigrated here.

Chapter 39 Netherworld Forest Dungeon

The speaker was a boy with neat short hair, sharp eyes like an eagle, and an aura of confidence and arrogance.

His name is Mu Feng, a powerful Soul Master with an A-level Martial Soul, the Thunder Serpent Martial Soul.

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over someone's head, instantly making the already somewhat warm atmosphere even more awkward and oppressive.

Everyone turned their gaze to Mu Feng, who had spoken, their eyes revealing dissatisfaction and doubt.

None of them seemed to have expected that this student from Mufeng would express such direct discrimination against girls.

Chu Shihhan frowned, a hint of displeasure rising in her heart. Just as she was about to retort, she was interrupted by another voice.

"Senior, although we are girls, we have our own strengths and value. Please don't underestimate us; we will prove ourselves through our actions."

It was Ye Chuxue who spoke; her voice was firm and powerful, carrying an undeniable determination. Her gaze was fixed on Renault, without a trace of fear.

Her words made everyone look at this seemingly weak woman with new respect, and also made Mu Feng slightly startled.

Song Wanning nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. You can't judge a person properly just by looking at their appearance."

Looking at them, Chu Shihhan secretly admired them: These two junior girls are not only quite capable, but also have firm beliefs and courage, which is truly admirable.

So she smiled and said to the two of them, "Don't worry, I believe in you. As long as we work together, we will definitely achieve good results."

After speaking, she turned to look at Mu Feng, her expression turning serious. She looked at him firmly and said solemnly, "Mu Feng, please watch your words. We are a team, and we need to respect and support each other. If you continue to speak like this, I will report this to the teacher."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng remained silent for a moment. Although he didn't say anything more, a hint of disdain still lingered on his face. However, he did not challenge Chu Shihhan's authority again.

Chu Shihhan glanced at her watch, then looked up and said seriously, "After we are teleported to our destination, everyone must not run around randomly and must maintain the formation of the line."

Her voice conveyed a sense of confidence and determination, giving the impression that she was fully capable of leading the team.

As the team leader, she clearly has extensive experience in trials and a deep understanding of how to deal with various difficulties and dangers.

She understood that only by maintaining close teamwork could they better accomplish the mission and ensure everyone's safety.

At this moment, Mu Feng glanced at Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue with displeasure, his eyes filled with obvious hostility, and said coldly, "You two, don't hold us back. If anything happens, you'll bear the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue immediately retorted without backing down, "You'd be lucky if you didn't drag us down!" Her voice was filled with anger and defiance, as if she could no longer tolerate Mu Feng's provocation.

Chu Shihhan frowned, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. She realized that serious internal conflicts existed within the team, which could negatively impact the upcoming trials.

She knew that harmony and cooperation within the team were crucial, but faced with such a tense situation, she didn't know how to resolve the conflict.

So she said with a serious expression, "Whatever conflicts or entanglements you have, you should put them aside for now."

The importance of this trial is self-evident, and I absolutely do not want to see anyone let personal grudges affect the overall situation.

Her gaze slowly swept over each person before she said, "Now, please introduce your martial spirit cultivation level one by one."

"Zhang Yang, third level of the Divine Venerable Realm, A-level Martial Soul Berserker."

"Liu Fei, second level of the Divine Venerable Realm, A-grade Martial Soul: Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Under Chu Shihhan's urgent urging, Mu Feng reluctantly introduced himself: "Mu Feng, fifth level of the Divine Venerable Realm, A-grade Martial Soul Thunder Serpent."

The Razer is a top-tier A-grade martial soul and is also among the rarest martial souls.

"Chu Shihhan, seventh level of the Divine Venerable Realm, Holy Light Halberd."

Chu Shihhan's gaze swept over everyone in turn, and she said solemnly, "I solemnly declare once again that we must unite as one in this trial."

Anyone who dares to hinder progress or negatively impact the overall situation will be severely punished.

Her tone revealed an undeniable firmness.

At that moment, a portal appeared in front of everyone.

"The trial instance has been opened. All participants, please enter immediately!"

Chu Shihhan took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.

She commanded in a deep voice, "Prepare to enter the trial!"

Filled with anticipation and nervousness, everyone stepped into the portal. After a dazzling flash of light, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place—a gloomy and terrifying forest.

Ye Chuxue shook her cute little head and muttered, "I really can't stand this long-distance teleportation, my head is spinning."

She gently swayed her body and leaned into Song Wanning's arms. Song Wanning gently stroked her head and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, Chuxue, it will be alright in a moment."

Chu Shihhan observed her surroundings with a serious expression. She frowned and said to everyone in a heavy tone, "Everyone, be careful. We have now entered the Netherworld Forest instance. This place is not simple. Only twenty precious Netherworld Ghost Fire seeds are born here every year."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement. Netherworld Ghost Fire was a crucial material for crafting special equipment, its value immeasurable.

Chu Shihhan continued to explain, "But remember, the Netherworld Forest is not part of the territory of our Great Xia Empire. Therefore, in addition to the participants from our Great Xia Empire, there will also be people from other countries coming to compete for the seeds of these Netherworld Ghost Fires."

These words instantly created a tense atmosphere within the team. Everyone realized that the upcoming competition would be exceptionally fierce, requiring them not only to face unknown dangers but also to compete against top players from other countries.

Ye Chuxue asked with some concern, "Won't we be in great danger? If we encounter other teams, will we have to kill them?"

Song Wanning appeared relatively calm. She said lightly, "There's no need to worry too much. Although the competition is fierce, people usually fight for the dungeon entrance, and there aren't many cases of people actually killing each other."

"Unless there is something extreme going on, we generally won't take action easily."

Chu Shihhan nodded and added, "That's right. Although we can't completely rule out the possibility of violence, in most cases, people will still restrain themselves from doing so."

“Alright, let’s prepare to enter the Netherworld Forest.” She said, and then walked forward.

Liu Fei possesses the A-grade support-type martial soul, the Glazed Tile Pagoda, and begins to buff everyone.

A halo appeared around everyone, greatly enhancing their strength, agility, and defense.

A thin rope also appeared on Ye Chuxue's wrist, and this thin rope was wrapped around Song Wanning's body.

Since Ye Chuxue has not yet learned any skills that could amplify abilities, and only has healing and defense skills, she cannot apply amplification to others.

Just then, Mu Feng suddenly snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Can't even enhance the amplification state, what a piece of trash."
