Douluo: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 12 The Second Soul Ring
three days later.

Early in the morning, at the gate of Coconut Grove City Junior Soul Master Academy.

"Xiao Jiang, our target this time is the Star Dou Great Forest. It is more dangerous there than the Soul Hunting Forest. There are a lot more people hunting for spirit rings there than in the Soul Hunting Forest, and the people there are more complicated. You must follow me closely, okay?" Dean Yang instructed Jiang Li.

"I understand, Dean. I won't run around aimlessly." Jiang Li replied.

After three days, the dean finally arranged everything for the academy. This morning, he went to find Jiang Li and set off for the Star Forest.

After giving instructions, the two rented a carriage and headed for the Star Forest.

The Star Dou Great Forest is located in the Douluo Continent, spanning the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, with two-fifths of its area in the Tiandou Empire and three-fifths in the Xingluo Empire.

The soul master world calls the Xingdou Great Forest the cradle of soul beasts. It has almost the most complete soul beasts in the world. There are even 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the depths of the forest.

In addition, the Star Forest, Sunset Forest and Frozen Forest are collectively known as the three major soul beast habitats.

According to the records in the Spirit Hall, the hundred thousand year soul beasts are the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Seven days later, at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Town in the Star Forest.

"You two, this is the Star Forest."

After seven days of trekking, the two arrived at a small town outside the Star Dou Great Forest. Perhaps they were lucky as they did not encounter any robbers along the way.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." The dean took out three gold soul coins from somewhere and gave them to the coachman, then took Jiang Li out of the car.

The town outside the Xingdou Great Forest is much larger than that outside the Soul Hunting Forest, and is also much more lively than the Soul Hunting Forest, but one is captive and the other is wild, so there is no comparison at all. The voices of Soul Hunting Groups and vendors calling for people can be heard everywhere.

"How is it? Is it lively?" The dean asked as he looked at Jiang Li's curious expression.

"Yeah." Jiang Li responded softly.

"It's lively. This is one of the three major gathering places for soul beasts on the continent. Every time a soul master comes here, it means they are about to advance. At the same time, because there are so many soul beasts, soul masters who enter the forest must be especially careful. Moreover, they must be wary of soul masters. After all, the most difficult thing to guess in the world is the human heart. No one can guarantee that someone will not suddenly appear when you are absorbing a soul ring." The dean explained.

Then, the dean continued, "Have you decided what soul beast you want for your second soul ring?"

"Sword bamboo, sword bamboo that is about a thousand years old." Jiang Li responded.

After hearing Jiang Li's answer, the dean lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Sword Bamboo? It really suits you."

Sword Bamboo is a plant-type soul beast. Generally speaking, plant-type soul beasts are easier to hunt, but there are exceptions. Sword Bamboo is a plant-type soul beast with offensive power. It uses the leaves on its body as a means of attack. Generally speaking, it is used in the first or second soul ring of a sword-type soul master to achieve the effect of releasing sword energy.

Jiang Li's martial soul and Jianzhu are highly compatible. Jianzhu also has strong vitality and attack capabilities. Jianzhu's bamboo leaves are like swords, while Jiang Li's martial soul is grass leaves like swords. The difference is that the vitality of blue silver grass is stronger and has no attack power, while Jianzhu has slightly weaker vitality and has attack power. If Jiang Li absorbs Jianzhu's soul ring, he will most likely gain Jianzhu's bamboo leaf sword skill.

Since the two of them found an inconspicuous place, no one heard what Jiang Li and the others said.

"Now that you've made your choice, let's set off. This kind of soul beast is easy to find." said the dean.

Then the two of them entered the Star Forest.

The Xingdou Great Forest is divided into the outer circle, mixed circle, inner circle and core circle. The outer circle is full of soul beasts that are ten or hundred years old, the mixed circle is full of soul beasts that are thousands of years old, the inner circle is full of soul beasts that are more than 50,000 years old, and the core area is guarded by the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Since Jiang Li’s target was clear and it was a plant-type soul beast that could not move, the two of them headed directly towards the habitat of the plant-type soul beast.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, the soul power inside is unknown how many times higher than that outside. The 36,000 pores all over the body are greedily absorbing the free soul power in the air. If the Star Dou Great Forest was not too dangerous, practicing here would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

"Tsk, it's a great place to practice, but it's a pity there are too many soul beasts and soul masters, otherwise I would really like to practice here for a while." Jiang Li sighed as he felt the rich soul power.

Jiang Li's martial soul is blue silver grass, and the vegetation in the Star Dou Great Forest is dense, which is a very suitable mimicry environment for him. Coupled with his huge soul power, his cultivation speed will definitely be twice as fast as it is now.

An hour later, the two arrived outside a bamboo forest.

"It's right inside. Follow me later. Be careful!"

"There are so many sword bamboos in there, and I don't know which ones are soul beasts. I need to search slowly!"

"But compared to looking for other soul beasts, this is relatively easy to find. We can find it by searching in this sword bamboo forest!"

There is a forest of sword bamboos in front of me, but not all sword bamboos belong to soul beasts.

Just like most humans are not soul masters, those who can become soul beasts in the Sword Bamboo Forest are also extremely rare.

Or like the blue silver grass, which is almost everywhere in the Douluo Continent, but the blue silver grass soul beast is almost never seen.

Chi Chi Chi
After walking for a while, when Jiang Li and the other person approached a sword bamboo, the sword bamboo suddenly moved, scattering bamboo leaves and attacking Jiang Li and the other person.

"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Azure Lock."

The moment Jiang Li felt the bamboo leaves, he released his first soul skill. Since it was instant, and Jiang Li had practiced distraction control for two years, he simply used the blue silver grass to create a shield.

Puff puff puff～～～
As the shield was erected, the bamboo leaves of the sword bamboo hit the shield. Soon the shield was filled with bamboo leaves and was directly beaten into the wood like a sieve.

The bamboo leaves felt like small swords rather than bamboo leaves.

"Tsk, luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been really serious if it had hit me." Jiang Li couldn't help but wipe his sweat when he saw the miserable state of the shield.

Then he looked at the sword bamboo again.

It is about four meters long, and the bottom two sections are darker in color. This is a two-hundred-year-old sword bamboo soul beast!"

"Dean, this is not what I want. Let's keep looking!"

Jiang Li looked at the sword bamboo soul beast carefully and then made a judgment.

With a clear goal, Jiang Li naturally understood the characteristics of sword bamboo first and knew how to tell the approximate age of a sword bamboo soul beast.

Generally speaking, for sword bamboo soul beasts under 500 years old, you have to look at the bamboo joints. Sword bamboo has one joint every 100 years, and each joint is one meter, and the sword bamboo starts at four meters. At this time, you have to compare the colors above. If the bottom is slightly darker, it means that the age and length do not match. For more than 500 years and less than 1,000 years, you have to look at the leaves on the bamboo. If it reaches 1,000 years, you have to look at the length.
