The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 14 Soul Hunting Forest

When she first transmigrated to Douluo Continent, she was picked up by Jack, the village elder of Holy Soul Village.

Having stayed in Holy Soul Village for five months, Xia Liang had met Tang Hao and his son Tang San.

The six-year-old boy who was chatting with Wang Sheng at this moment was Tang San.

That six-year-old girl with the black scorpion braid must be Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old soul beast who has taken human form.

"Ah Liang, you're finally back." Wang Sheng greeted Xia Liang with a smile. "We've all been waiting for you."

"Why are you waiting for me?" Xia Liang asked, puzzled.

Wang Sheng glanced at the girl with the scorpion braid, then looked at the six-year-old boy, and introduced them, "These two newcomers are work-study students who just moved in. The boy's name is Tang San, and he's a work-study student from Holy Soul Village. The girl's name is Xiao Wu. Don't let her gentle appearance fool you; she's actually very strong. She defeated me, a sixth-year student, in an instant."

At this point, Wang Sheng sighed helplessly, "Sigh. I won't go into the embarrassing details. In short, from today onwards, Xiao Wu is the boss of our Dormitory 7."

"Wang Sheng, what are you muttering about?" Xiao Wu glared at Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng straightened up in fright, "It's nothing, boss."

"No, that's not right," Xiao Wu corrected. "You have to call me Sister Xiao Wu! Tang San, you lost to me in the fight this afternoon, so you have to call me Sister Xiao Wu too, understand? And you too."

Xiao Wu was pointing at Xia Liang when she said the last sentence.

Tang San's gaze also fell on Xia Liang, and he immediately realized that this person had stayed at Old Jack's house in Holy Soul Village for a period of time, and later left for some unknown reason.

Looking back at the gazes cast by Xiao Wu and Tang San, Xia Liang smiled politely. He had originally wanted to learn about immortal herbs from Tang San, but suddenly gave up the idea.

At this moment, Tang Hao might already be secretly monitoring everything.

The thought of this made him feel uneasy, so how could he dare to try to get anything out of Tang San?

After obtaining your first spirit ring, it's best to leave Notting Academy as soon as possible. Whatever your purpose, staying away from Tang Hao's surveillance is always the right thing to do.

The next day, in the morning.

Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Cannons roared into the sky above the academy, accompanied by a constant cacophony of noise.

Today is the opening ceremony, and the square is filled with teachers and students from all grades.

However, a middle-aged man and a thin student walked out of the academy gate.

The middle-aged man's name was Yu Xiaogang, and he was not a teacher at the college.

The skinny student was Tang San, who had just joined the academy.

Yesterday, on the way to the Academic Affairs Office to report for duty, Yu Xiaogang revealed the secret of Tang San's twin martial souls to his face.

This act did not lead Tang San to regard him as an enemy; instead, Tang San became his teacher.

The two also started addressing each other as master and apprentice yesterday.

Dean Ding encouraged Yu Xiaogang to take Xia Liang as his disciple, actually because he valued Xia Liang's innate fifth-level soul power talent.

Now that Yu Xiaogang has taken Tang San, who has full innate level 10 soul power, as his disciple, Dean Ding is naturally happy.

Today, he granted Tang San special permission not to attend the opening ceremony and agreed to let Yu Xiaogang take Tang San to hunt spirit beasts and obtain his first spirit ring.

"Teacher, shall we go straight to the Soul Hunting Forest?" Tang San asked curiously.

"No. Let's go to the market first. We'll buy some white radishes and the items we need to hunt spirit beasts."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang looked down at Tang San and instructed him, "Xiao San, remember this. Hunting spirit beasts is never a trivial matter, because in the habitat of spirit beasts, a spirit master will face more than just one spirit beast. If you act rashly without adequate preparation, you will pay a heavy price."

Tang San nodded very seriously, "I understand, teacher."

A satisfied smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's stiff face. "Let's go. When we get to the Soul Hunting Forest, I'll teach you how to identify the cultivation level of a soul beast."

With that, he and Tang San took a carriage and headed towards the Soul Hunting Forest.

One hour later.

The opening ceremony has ended.

Another man led a student out of the Nottingham College gate.

However, the man was not as old as Yu Xiaogang; he was only about thirty-five years old, dressed in a silver outfit and with short black hair.

The student following the man also had short black hair and was eight years old.

Because the chef works part-time and eats well, and exercises regularly, this eight-year-old student is much taller than his peers and looks like he is twelve years old.

The man in the silver outfit was named Mohen, and he was a senior teacher at Notting College.

The eight-year-old student is Xia Liang, who has just entered the third grade.

Several days earlier, the two had agreed to go to the Soul Hunting Forest together to hunt soul beasts after the opening ceremony.

After checking their belongings, Teacher Mo and Xia Liang hailed a horse-drawn carriage at the academy gate and headed to the Soul Hunter Forest.

a few days later.

night.

Outside Nottingham City, in the Soul Hunter Forest.

After showing the guards at the forest entrance the warrant to hunt soul beasts, it is now the third day since entering the forest.

Teacher Mo set up the tent for sleeping outdoors.

Xia Liang had already grilled the meat and poured on a fragrant sauce.

The two were having dinner around the oven.

"Ah Liang, your cooking skills have improved a lot in the two years you've worked part-time at the restaurant. I never expected you to make such simple grilled meat taste so good."

As he spoke, Teacher Mo picked up another piece of roasted meat from the oven, wrapped it in lettuce, and began to eat it with great relish.

Xia Liang was also eating the roasted meat in his hand, but he had a feeling of unease in his heart.

When the wind rustled through the grass at night, a strange roar suddenly rang out from afar, along with an odd smell mixed in with the damp air, and faint fluctuations of soul power lurking around.

Everything was terrifying.

This is the core area of ​​the Soul Hunter Forest. Everywhere you look, flying insects and beasts possess soul power just like soul masters. Some soul beasts have even cultivated for a hundred years and comprehended a powerful soul skill that can kill people invisibly.

This was Xia Liang's first time in the world of Douluo Continent, and also his first time visiting a forest inhabited by soul beasts, truly experiencing their unique aura.

He discovered that his highly concentrated mental energy acted like a detector, capable of detecting the fluctuations in the soul power of the surrounding soul beasts at any time.

Several spirit beasts were lurking in the shadows, eyeing him menacingly.

Teacher Mo patted Xia Liang on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry. Soul Masters are afraid of being ambushed by Soul Beasts, and Soul Beasts are just as afraid of being ambushed by Soul Masters. Unless a Soul Beast has a strong sense of territory, it won't actively cause trouble for a Soul Master. The reason we chose to camp here is because there are few Soul Beast tracks and no aggressive Soul Beasts will appear. I'll be keeping watch tonight, so you don't need to worry too much."

After hearing these words, Xia Liang finally felt relieved.

This Teacher Mo truly lives up to his reputation with ten years of experience working in mercenary groups.

His job involves hunting spirit beasts for others. The courage and experience he has honed through frequent trips into spirit beast territories give people a sense of security.

Feeling the aura of the soul beast watching him in the dark again, Xia Liang was no longer as afraid as before. In fact, being watched by a soul master was more terrifying than being watched by a soul beast.

Now that she lives in the same dormitory as Tang San and Xiao Wu, she inevitably attracts the attention of Tang Hao, who is secretly protecting Tang San, so she has to be timid and hesitant in everything she does.
