Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 25 Entering the Star Dou Great Forest

Soul Masters are physically active, so they readily welcome hearty dishes; Fang Tian didn't hold back at all. Apart from a radish to cut through the richness, everything else was heavy on oil and meat.

"Fengyan, come and have a taste, I hope you like it." Fang Tian brought over another bowl of rice and began to invite Qiu Fengyan to eat.

Modern cuisine is simply divine for those who haven't tried it before. After Qiu Fengyan took a bite, she couldn't stop eating. Before she knew it, the two of them had finished all the food.

Qiu Fengyan looked at the clean plate of food, her face slightly flushed. "Uncle's cooking is so delicious, I was being impolite!"

"Hehe, it's nothing. Actually, you didn't eat much at all; most of the food ended up in my stomach. Don't be embarrassed," Fang Tian comforted him.

From that day on, Fang Tian settled down in Wanghun Village. He spent his days practicing various martial arts techniques, occasionally giving Qiu Fengyan pointers, and his evenings fighting in Soto City to gain practical experience. His days were peaceful and fulfilling.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two months, Fang Tian's combat ability has improved significantly, allowing him to unleash almost his full potential. He is virtually invincible among those of the same rank in the Soul Arena, and his Soul level has reached the Gold Soul level.

"System, open your own panel."

……

Realm: Level 30

Soul Power: 2207/2000

Physical condition: 1846/1000

……

In the past two months, Qiu Fengyan has made tremendous progress. Not only has her combat ability doubled with the help of the Nine Palaces Blade Step, but she has also mastered and learned other martial arts techniques such as the Eight Pieces of Brocade. After healing her hidden injuries and receiving sufficient energy replenishment, her Bone Forging Secret Technique has improved rapidly. And her soul power has finally broken through to level 30.

Fang Tian used the system to identify Qiu Fengyan's data.

Name: Autumn Encounter with Geese

Age: sixteen years old

Martial Soul: Goose Feather Blade

Realm: Level 30

Soul Power: 2000

Physical condition: 1300

Spirit: 1000

Skills: Eight Pieces of Brocade (Beginner Level), Condensing Silk and Controlling the Soul (Beginner Level), Willow Leaf Flying Knife (Advanced Level), Nine Palaces Knife Steps (Advanced Level), Bone Forging Secret Technique (Masterful Level)

……

The system provides data to non-hosts that is not very detailed, but it is still of great reference value.

For example, Fang Tian can now roughly calculate, based on Qiu Fengyan's three data points—soul power, physique, and spirit—that the lifespan of her third soul ring is less than 2500 years.

"Feng Yan, we've both reached level 30 and need to add soul rings. Do you have any suggestions?"

"We have no one to rely on, so we have to hunt spirit beasts ourselves. I hunted my first and second spirit rings myself. Is there any way you can help me, uncle?"

After spending the past two months with Qiu Fengyan, Fang Tian realized that Qiu Fengyan's talent was actually quite high, with innate soul power at level six.

Qiu Fengyan had originally planned to join the Spirit Hall after graduation, but the sudden death of her parents completely disillusioned her. This was because one of the people involved in the battle that affected her parents was a member of the Spirit Hall.

Of course, it wasn't someone from the Spirit Hall of Soto City, but rather someone from elsewhere passing through. It's unclear what kind of transaction took place within the Spirit Hall, but the people from the Soto City Spirit Hall branch compensated Wanghun Village with two hundred gold spirit coins.

However, since the dead cannot be brought back to life, Qiu Fengyan also lost all goodwill towards the Spirit Hall.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battle, a person wielding the Clear Sky Hammer completely ignored Wanghun Village, paying it no heed whatsoever.

"I don't have any good ideas either. Hiring soul hunters is risky; we might not have that much money, and we also have to be wary of being cheated. So I prefer to hunt the soul beasts I need myself."

Moreover, Fang Tian also had to guard against the possibility of his many secrets being exposed.

"Mountains crumble, people run away, in the end we still have to rely on ourselves. Let's go soul hunting together!" Fang Tian encouraged again.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Uncle."

The two packed their belongings into their storage belts, and carried a bundle as cover before setting off on their journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Fang Tian and his companion did not rush on their journey, and instead disguised themselves further along the way. Finally, three days later, they arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Star Dou Great Forest is located at the border of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and is one of the three major gathering places of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.

The spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest often venture out to attack human villages and settlements, which gives you an idea of ​​how dangerous the Star Dou Great Forest is. Fang Tianqiu and Feng Yan had been extremely cautious ever since they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, walking on thin ice.

The two tried their best to conceal their aura and soul power, avoiding the soul beasts they encountered along the way, and trying to avoid unnecessary battles.

Fang Tian had already planned out the soul beasts the two of them needed to find, and they would try to search in places where the required soul beasts might appear, which would make things easier.

The two searched carefully during the day and took turns keeping watch at night. Although they were on tenterhooks every day, they were safe for the time being.

The two recognized most of the common spirit beasts. When they encountered something unfamiliar or strange, Fang Tian would activate the identification system to identify it. This helped them avoid some danger and also brought them some unexpected gains.

For example, Fang Tian collected several tough and elastic bamboo logs, intending to use them to make bows and crossbows.

"That's strange, why do I feel a little awkward? Fengyan, do you feel the same way?"

On their third day in the Star Dou Great Forest, the two were carefully searching for soul beasts. Fang Tian felt that what he saw did not match what his spiritual probe detected.

"System, identify." Fang Tian opened the system and carefully explored the surroundings.

Name: Daye Maple

Duration: 328 years

……

Name: Spruce

Duration: 643 years

……

Name: Small-leaved Locust

Duration: 217 years

……

……

Name: Hidden Breath Grass

Duration: 304 years

Soul Skill: Concealment

Description: A herbaceous plant that emits a unique scent that causes those who smell it, whether human or spirit beast, to overlook its existence. A plant spirit beast adept at concealing itself.

Fang Tian was shocked. There was actually such a soul beast? Fortunately, the Hidden Breath Grass didn't have much offensive ability, otherwise the two of them would have been in danger.

Fang Tian shielded his breath and carefully observed before discovering this soul beast.

The Hidden Breath Grass grows to one meter tall, with opposite leaves and small yellow flowers. It's easily overlooked, as if it possesses an innate ability to become invisible.

Fang Tian collected some juice and, after confirming it was non-toxic and harmless, carefully applied it to his body. The scent it emitted made it easy for Qiu Fengyan to overlook him. The two were overjoyed and carefully placed two large bottles full of juice into their storage belts.

"Haha, what luck! I actually stumbled upon such a good thing!" Qiu Fengyan felt that with the Hidden Breath Grass juice, the search ahead would be much safer.

"The Star Dou Great Forest seems to be more dangerous than I imagined. The Hidden Breath Grass we encountered today had no offensive power, but other soul beasts might be. We need to be more careful in the future." Fang Tian was not as optimistic as Qiu Fengyan.

"Yes, I will." Qiu Fengyan naturally understood Fang Tian's good intentions.

Something came up, so there will only be two chapters today. Sorry.
