Chapter 8: Set out to hunt souls
The next morning.
When most of the teachers and students of Notting College were still asleep, two tall and two short figures had already left the gate of Notting College.
"Master, this is your new apprentice, right?" The dean looked at Tang San who was walking beside the master and smiled.
"Yes, he is my disciple Tang San." The master nodded calmly and said, "Although Xiao San's martial soul is the blue silver grass with the name of useless martial soul, I believe that there are no useless martial souls in this world, only useless soul masters. With my martial soul theory teaching, his future achievements will at least be a titled Douluo."
"Hahaha, I hope so." The dean said with an awkward smile on his face.
"By the way, dean, I don't know how to call you yet." Cheng Xiao looked up at the dean and asked.
"My last name is Ma, my first name is Nuo, you can call me Dean Ma." Dean Ma smiled.
"Okay, Dean Ma." Cheng Xiao said.
"I almost forgot, Cheng Xiao, you don't know where we are going to hunt soul beasts, right?" Ma Nuo asked.
"I don't know." Cheng Xiao shook his head, expressing doubt.
"We are going to the Soul Hunting Forest, 400 miles east of Notting City, where the empire keeps soul beasts." Mano smiled, "But before hunting soul beasts, we have to help the master prepare some things."
"Prepare things?" Cheng Xiao was slightly stunned, and then seemed to remember something, and nodded silently.
As the sun gradually rose from the east, more and more people were walking in Notting City, and the small vendors selling goods shouted their own products, which was very lively.
The things prepared by the master were very simple, four leather bags specially used for drinking water, and some dry food, bacon, fruits, etc. for eating on the road.
Of course, the master also bought a full 20 kilograms of white radishes in the end, and these white radishes naturally had important uses.
"Teacher, what do you buy these white radishes for?" Tang San held a basket of white radishes with great effort, and asked the master breathlessly. If he had not practiced Xuantian Gong, he might not be able to hold it.
Looking at the 20-jin white radish, Mano sighed helplessly. As a friend of the master, he knew very well what these white radishes were used for.
The master did not answer Tang San in time. As a theoretical master, he rarely showed a little bitterness at the corner of his mouth. He touched Tang San's head and said, "I'll tell you about this later."
After everything was ready, Dean Mano also hired a four-person carriage in the city. After having the carriage, everyone set off towards the destination.
Along the way, the master kept explaining the martial spirit theory to Tang San, and also gave Tang San a blue belt.
Looking at the belt in his hand, Tang San also named it the Twenty-four Bridges Moonlit Night. There was no reason for Tang San to refuse the gift from the master. After all, the Tang Sect where he lived in his previous life had the principle of giving and not refusing.
After giving Tang San the belt, the corner of the master's eyes drifted towards Cheng Xiao. He wanted to let Cheng Xiao know that as long as he worshipped him as a teacher, he could also have the same gift as Tang San.
But the master was destined to be disappointed. After Cheng Xiao got on the carriage, he leaned against one side and closed his eyes to rest. Even the dean Manuo was puzzled. Could it be that this child didn't sleep well all night because he had to hunt soul rings today?
How could they know that Xiao Wu had tried her best to prevent Cheng Xiao from going to bed so early last night, but Cheng Xiao was not interested in small tricks and did not react at all.
Seeing that Cheng Xiao was immune to tickling, Xiao Wu could only pout and sleep.
But it was because of sleeping that Cheng Xiao couldn't sleep, because after Xiao Wu fell asleep, she actually...
…………
The journey of four hundred miles was not long, nor short. After the four people left Notting City, they arrived at the destination of this trip, the Soul Hunting Forest, at noon the next day.
After making up for sleep in the carriage, Cheng Xiao followed the dean Manuo out of the carriage, and heard various sounds in his ears.
"There is a warrant. Organize a group to hunt hundred-year soul beasts. Soul masters who need soul rings, come and have a look."
"Hunting power soul beasts, seven people waiting for the warrant, ten gold soul coins."
Similar shouts came one after another, and Cheng Xiao also had some preliminary understanding of this soul hunting forest.
It is called the soul hunting forest, but it is more like a game copy in an online game, and these shouting soul masters are more like mercenaries.
The market was very noisy, and Cheng Xiao and his party walked out of the market quickly. When he saw the big forest in front of him, for some reason, his heart was faintly agitated, and a familiar feeling came to his heart.
"The shadow power in the body is boiling, is it because of the feeling similar to when I leveled up alone and entered the dungeon?" Cheng Xiao thought to himself.
He is different from Cheng Xiaoyu. The latter has a system created by the designer, which allows him to adapt to the power of the shadow king in a way similar to a game, and the system itself is the power of the shadow king.
As for Cheng Xiao, since the designer of the manufacturing system was dead, the Shadow King chose another way to store his own power in his body. When his level increased and his strength became stronger, the shadow power in his body would be released step by step and become Cheng Xiao's power.
There was a huge steel fence around the Soul Hunting Forest, which was more than ten meters high and looked very strong and solid.
Outside the fence, more than a hundred soldiers were roaming there, guarding the Soul Hunting Forest where the empire kept soul beasts.
"Let's go." In front of the Soul Hunting Forest, Dean Mano handed a token to the guarding soldier. This black token was engraved with a strange pattern. It was composed of three patterns. In the center was a sharp sword, and on the left and right of the sword were a hammer and a dragon.
After the soldier in charge of checking the warrant confirmed that it was correct, he quickly ordered other soldiers to open a passage and let Cheng Xiao and others into the Soul Hunting Forest.
After entering the Soul Hunting Forest, the master's originally somewhat decadent eyes suddenly became bright, and his hands formed a mark on his chest, "Come out! Luo-San-Pao!"
Two yellow soul rings rose from the master's feet, and then a soul power fluctuation came from his body. With a flash of purple light, a pig-like and dog-like creature appeared in front of the four people.
Luo Sanpao has lavender hair, a pair of big ears drooping, and big deep blue eyes looking into the depths of the forest. His fat and bloated body makes him look stupid, and his appearance is different from that of a normal dog. If he must have a name, it must be a combination of pig and dog, pig dog.
"Master, your martial soul is so special that it can even leave the body." Cheng Xiao squatted down, touched Luo Sanpao's head, and then smiled at the master.
"My martial soul has mutated, and it is the kind that is heading in a bad direction." The master shook his head with bitterness at the corners of his mouth. If it weren't for his innate soul power being less than half a level, how could he go further and further on the road of studying martial soul theory?
But it's good that he received a genius disciple with full innate soul power, and a twin martial soul. As long as Tang San is trained to be a strong man, who will dare to look down on him, Yu Xiaogang?
"Cheng Xiao, Master's martial soul is indeed special. From a certain perspective, Master is also a rare genius. It's a pity that things are unpredictable." Dean Mano sighed. He felt very sorry for the problem of his friend's martial soul.
"Okay, don't talk about my martial soul." The master's face was serious and he said seriously: "Let's hurry up to hunt souls. It's not easy to hunt a soul beast that suits your martial soul."
After speaking, the master gave an order to Luo Sanpao.
"Sanpao, open the way in front."
