Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 8 Set off to hunt for 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 walked out of the gate of Notting College.

"Master, this is your new disciple, right?" The dean looked at Tang San who was walking beside the master and said with a smile.

"Yes, he is my disciple Tang San." The master nodded calmly and said, "Although Xiao San's martial spirit is the Blue Silver Grass, which is known as a useless martial spirit, I believe that there are no useless martial spirits in this world, only useless spirit masters. With my martial spirit theory guidance, 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 address you yet." Cheng Xiao looked up at the Dean and asked.

"My last name is Ma, and my given name is Nuo. You can call me Dean Ma." Dean Ma said with a smile.

"Okay, President Ma." Cheng Xiao said.

"I almost forgot, Cheng Xiao, you still don't know where we are going to hunt soul beasts?" Mano asked.

"I'm not sure." Cheng Xiao shook his head, expressing his confusion.

"We are going to the Soul Hunting Forest, 400 miles east of Notting City. That's where the empire keeps soul beasts." Mano smiled, "But before we hunt soul beasts, we have to help the master prepare some things."

"Prepare things?" Cheng Xiao was slightly stunned, then seemed to remember something and nodded silently.

As the sun gradually rises from the east, more and more people come to Nottingham. The small vendors selling goods are shouting their products, making the city very lively.

The things the master prepared were simple: four leather bags for drinking water, and some dry food for the journey, bacon, fruits, etc.

Of course, in the end the master also bought a full twenty kilograms of white radishes, and these white radishes naturally had important uses.

"Teacher, what are you buying these white radishes for?" Tang San asked the master breathlessly while holding a basket of white radishes. If he had not practiced the Xuantian Gong, he might not be able to hold the basket.

Looking at the twenty kilograms of white radishes, Mano sighed helplessly. As a good 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 master of theory, he rarely showed a little bitterness in the corner of his mouth. He touched Tang San's head and said, "I will tell you about this later."

After everything was ready, Dean Mano hired a four-person carriage in the city. After getting the carriage, everyone set off towards their destination.

Along the way, the master continued to explain the theoretical knowledge of martial spirits to Tang San, and also gave Tang San a blue belt.

Looking at the belt in his hand, Tang San named it Twenty-Four Bridges on 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 gifts that could not be refused.

After giving Tang San the belt, the master glanced at Cheng Xiao from the corner of his eye. He wanted to let Cheng Xiao know that as long as he became his disciple, 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 to one side and closed his eyes to rest. Even the dean Mano was puzzled. Could it be that this child did not sleep well all night because he had to hunt for spirit 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 impressed by these little 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 that that Cheng Xiao couldn't fall asleep, because after Xiao Wu fell asleep, she actually...

…………The journey of four hundred miles was neither long nor short. After the four people left Nottingham City, they did not arrive at their destination, the Soul Hunting Forest, until noon the next day.

After catching up on some sleep in the carriage, Cheng Xiao followed Dean Mano out of the carriage and heard all kinds of sounds.

"There is a warrant for a group to hunt down a hundred-year-old soul beast. Soul masters who need soul rings, please come and take a look."

"Hunting power-type soul beasts, seven people waiting for the warrant, ten gold soul coins."

Similar shouts came one after another, and Cheng Xiao also gained some preliminary understanding of this Soul Hunting Forest.

Although it is called the Soul Hunting Forest, it is more like a game copy in an online game, and these shouting soul masters are more like a mercenary group.

The market was very noisy, so Cheng Xiao and his group quickly walked out of the market. When he saw the large forest in front of him, for some reason, his heart began to beat restlessly, and a familiar feeling came to his heart.

"The shadow power in my body is boiling. Is it because it is similar to the feeling when I level up alone and enter the dungeon?" Cheng Xiao thought to himself.

He is different from Cheng Xiaoyu, who has a system created by a designer that allows him to adapt to the power of the Shadow King in a game-like way. The system itself is transformed from the power of the Shadow King.

As for Cheng Xiao, since the designer of the manufacturing system is dead, the Shadow King chose another way, storing his own power in his body. When his level increases and his strength becomes stronger, the shadow power in his body will be released step by step and become the source of Cheng Xiao's power.

The Soul Hunting Forest is surrounded by a huge steel fence that is more than ten meters high and looks very strong and sturdy.

Outside the fence, more than a hundred soldiers were patrolling there, guarding the Soul Hunting Forest where the empire kept captive 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 figures. 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 seal on his chest, "Come out! Luo-San-Pao!"

Two yellow soul rings rose from under the master's feet, and then a soul power fluctuation came from his body. With a flash of purple light, a creature that looked like a pig and a dog appeared in front of the four people.

Luo Sanpao has lavender hair, a pair of big ears drooping down, 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 in a bad direction." The master shook his head with a bitter look on his face. If his innate soul power was not less than half a level, how could he have gone further and further on the path of studying martial soul theory?

But it's also good. He has received a talented disciple with innate full soul power, and a twin martial soul. As long as he trains Tang San into a strong man, who will dare to look down on him, Yu Xiaogang?
"Cheng Xiao, the master's martial soul is indeed special. From a certain perspective, the master is also a rare genius that only appears once in a century. It's a pity that things in this world are unpredictable." Dean Mano sighed. He also 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 stern, and he said seriously: "Let's hurry up and hunt souls. It's not easy to hunt a soul beast that suits your martial soul."

After saying that, the master gave orders to Luo Sanpao.

"Three guns, lead the way."
