Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Yellow Spring, Mei and Thunder General

Chapter 8: Why would I keep a kitten when I'm around?

Early in the morning, while most of Notting College’s teachers and students were still asleep, a few people had already walked out of the college gates.

Besides Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, Xingkong also joined in.

The Starry Sky Soul Master certificate states that the innate soul power is level five.

But Yu Xiaogang has a sharp eye; he can tell from the appearance and temperament of Huang Quan, General Lei Dian, and Lei Dian Mei that they are extraordinary.

It is also speculated that Xingkong is a member of a large family, and perhaps he is hiding in Holy Soul Village to avoid enemies or for some other reason.

Such large families often have many treasures, so I thought Xingkong could reach level ten so quickly and obtain a soul ring.

They must have been drugged.

He despises people like that.

Giving children such strong medication from a young age will only lead to greater side effects as they grow up.

"Teacher, where are we going to find soul beasts?"

Tang San didn't pay much attention to Xingkong and the others, but instead asked Yu Xiaogang out of curiosity.

"We're going to the Soul Hunting Forest, four hundred miles northeast of Notting City. That's where the Empire raises soul beasts. We're sure to find one that suits you there."

Yu Xiaogang was dressed in a smart outfit today, which added to his heroic air, but his stiff face still gave people a sense of disharmony.

"Captive breeding? Can soul beasts be captive breeding? Teacher, please tell me about soul beasts."

Then, as Yu Xiaogang walked, he explained the spirit rings and their age limits.

We went to the mall together and bought some dry food.

Yu Xiaogang bought about twenty kilograms of radishes, which almost made Xingkong burst out laughing.

Is this the very thing he's going to use to get Luo Sanpao to kill the hundred-year-old soul beast?
That's a bit too naive!

Yesterday, Raiden Mei secretly cooked a lot of food and sold it.

Having made a lot of money, Xingkong is now spending it lavishly.

But I didn't spend extravagantly; I only bought some essential items.

For example, outdoor necessities such as tents.

The two groups of people traveled to the Soul Hunter Forest by horse-drawn carriage.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were few in number, so they only had a small horse-drawn carriage.

There are four people in the starry sky. The carriage is quite large, and it's just right for four people to fit inside.

Anyway, when you look down at the starry sky, all you see are legs; when you look up, all you see are spheres.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Four hundred miles is not a long distance, but it's not short either. It wasn't until noon the next day that they arrived at their destination, the Soul Hunter Forest.

As Xingkong stepped down from the carriage, he took a deep breath.

This place is filled with the breath of nature, quiet and serene, with fresh air.

However, the Soul Hunting Forest in front of us, at least from the outside, feels like a huge market.

There are many shops outside the forest.

Various shouts and calls rang out one after another, and simple man-made paths crisscrossed the area, creating a noisy atmosphere.

"We have a warrant to form a group to hunt down power-type soul beasts; we're still missing two people."

"Hunting agile soul beasts, seven people required. Ten gold soul coins."

Similar shouts came one after another, and most of the shops selling weapons, armor, and various food supplies.

"It's so expensive! Things here are twice as expensive as in Nottingham."

Mei was amazed when she saw the prices of these items.

Yu Xiaogang, speaking with the air of someone who's been through it all, said:
"Where there are spirit beasts, there are profits. This is especially true in forests where spirit beasts are specifically raised by the state. Spirit masters are a wealthy group, and there are too many people who want to make money off them." "So being a spirit master is that lucrative. But I'm actually quite good at being a chef."

Mei did not feel sorry about it.

After passing through the bustling market, you come to a forest.

The trees here are tall and look very old. There is a huge steel fence around the perimeter of the forest, with a lot of sharp spikes sticking out from one side of the forest.

The fence is over ten meters high and looks extremely sturdy.

That's not all. Outside the fence, a squad of a hundred soldiers was patrolling, holding long guns, their military bearing impeccable. The sight of a hundred steel warriors standing together gave off a chilling and menacing feeling.

Yu Xiaogang introduced in a low voice:

"The Soul Hunting Forest is not a place that just anyone can enter. Only Soul Masters who have obtained a warrant issued by the Spirit Hall can enter the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt Soul Beasts."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang took out a token. The token was dark and of unknown material, and the pattern on it was composed of three different shapes.

In the center is a sharp sword pointing downwards. To the left and right of the sword are a hammer and a monster that Tang San has never seen before.

He was about to hand the token to the guard.

Starry Sky quickly said:
"Uncle, are you just going to go in like this? Aren't you going to find some help? A hundred-year-old soul beast isn't so easy to kill!"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, "I believe I have the ability to help Xiao San find a suitable soul beast."

"Uncle, finding someone and being able to kill them are two different things. You should always have a backup plan. Don't wait until you encounter danger and then it will be too late to regret it."

The starry sky spoke earnestly and patiently.

"Starry Sky, I believe in Teacher's strength. There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters. Moreover, I think that if a person does not have the ability to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings on their own, then they are not a true strong person."

Tang San spoke with absolute certainty!

Why doesn't Tang San talk to the support and food-type Soul Masters?

See if they accept this principle.

But Xingkong had done what he was supposed to do. Tang San didn't listen, and his death in the Soul Hunting Forest was his own fault.

Then, Xingkong watched as Tang San and Yu Xiaogang went inside first.

He also took out the warrant he had obtained from Su Yuntao and entered the Soul Hunter Forest.

Passing through the steel fence and entering the forest, all the noise seemed to disappear, and the air finally became as fresh as I had imagined.

It gives people a feeling of comfort and relaxation.

"A soul beast? Is this what a soul beast is? It's actually kind of cute!"

After entering the Soul Hunter Forest, the three of them went straight inside.

The group was also filled with curiosity about the place, looking around from left to right.

Soon, an animal that looked somewhat like a cat appeared in its line of sight, perched on a tree, watching the four people warily.

"This is a spotted cat. It's so small, it must be a ten-year-old soul beast," Xingkong explained.

"So cute, can I take it home as a pet?" Raiden Mei's eyes sparkled.

"Soul beasts are all ferocious, I think it's better not to do that." Xingkong pouted. Wasn't she cute enough? She wanted to raise a kitten instead.

"Hey! Look, this bamboo can move! It even has feet."

Mei is cheerful and lively, and she can't help but touch everything she sees.

Looking at the starry sky, it was a lone bamboo. It didn't look particularly remarkable, but it was easily noticed because it was surrounded by tall trees instead of bamboo groves.

Its body swayed gently, and the bamboo strips on it moved rhythmically in the wind.

"This is a plant-type spirit beast, but you think it's a plant that has become a spirit. Tang San's spirit beast, Blue Silver Grass, is a plant-type spirit beast, which is very suitable for absorbing this kind of plant-type spirit beast spirit beast."

"Ideally, my martial soul should be a lightning-attribute soul beast. Let's quicken our pace and get inside as soon as possible to find a suitable soul ring."
