Douluo Continent: Reborn as Qin Ming, starting by joining the Spirit Hall

Chapter 173 Adding More Burden to Kelin

Several hours later, it began to get dark.

Inside a wooden house on the edge of the Soul Hunter Forest.

Qin Ming was currently communicating with the members of the Spirit Hall's law enforcement team who were guarding the Soul Hunting Forest.

The crackling of the fire mingled with the sounds of conversation...

This Soul Hunting Forest is considered one of the Angel Family's secrets.

Since the establishment of Spirit City, successive popes of the Spirit Hall have raised a large number of light-attribute spirit beasts in this Spirit Hunting Forest.

Over time, the number of light-attribute soul beasts in this Soul Hunting Forest has become extremely large.

Although there are no particularly outstanding soul beasts from different years, the strongest soul beasts only have a cultivation of three or four thousand years.

However, this is enough to meet the needs of the Angel Family for their first three spirit rings.

Not every Soul Master from the Spirit Hall is qualified to enter this Soul Hunting Forest to hunt Soul Beasts.

The law enforcement team members were initially reluctant.

However, after Qin Ming revealed his signature martial spirit and identified himself...

The law enforcement team members then handed Qin Ming a detailed map that marked the boundaries of each soul beast's territory.

After receiving the map from the law enforcement team members, Qin Ming called out to them.

"Thank you all. I'll send the map back to you later."

Qin Ming didn't put on any airs, but the law enforcement team members didn't dare to relax.

The leader clasped his hands in a salute to Qin Ming.

"Your Highness, you don't need to go to such trouble. We have many backups of this map."

You can simply keep it; there's no need to waste time sending it back to us.

Seeing this, Qin Ming didn't say anything more.

He nodded to them and then led Xue Qinghe and the others into the Soul Hunter Forest.

Before entering the Soul Hunter Forest, Qin Ming turned to Xue Qinghe and asked him a question.

"Qinghe, aren't you scared?"

Hunting spirits deep in the forest late at night carries a certain degree of danger.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe shook her head at Qin Ming.

"With the teacher and Elder Corin here, I will be in no danger."

"Um."

Qin Ming smiled and nodded.

Qin Ming was fairly satisfied with Xue Qinghe's somewhat mature performance.

While pondering, Qin Ming turned his head and glanced at Ke Lin.

"It seems that Elder Kelin has some experience in educating children."

Compared to when I first met Xue Qinghe six months ago.

This kid has changed a lot.

Perhaps I can ask Elder Kelin to take on more responsibilities.

Besides researching martial spirit theory, he could also take on a teaching position at a martial spirit academy.

Just as Qin Ming was about to speak, he heard Zhao Wuji complaining to Xue Qinghe.

"Qinghe, have you forgotten about me?"

I'm very strong too.

As he spoke, Zhao Wuji showed Xue Qinghe his strong arms.

Seeing this, Qin Ming smiled and shook his head.

Qin Ming ignored Zhao Wuji and Xue Qinghe and directly told Ke Lin about his thoughts.

"Bishop Kelin, would you like to consider taking a position at the Martial Soul Academy?"

This will give you more room for advancement in the future.

The academy's teachers also provide substantial subsidies and resources, which should be of some help to your cultivation.

Upon hearing Qin Ming's suggestion, Ke Lin agreed without much thought.

"Your Highness, just make the arrangements."

I followed in His Highness's footsteps.

Kelin had no objection to Qin Ming's arrangement.

The Spirit Academy of the Spirit Hall gathers commoner geniuses recruited by the Spirit Hall from across the continent.

Aside from the outstanding students who remained as teachers, it wasn't an easy thing for anyone else to join the Martial Soul Academy...

After receiving Ke Lin's reply, Qin Ming responded.

"Alright, then when you get back, Bishop Colleen, go and talk to Elder Dugu Bo and ask him to take care of this for you."

During their conversation, Qin Ming had already led Ke Lin and the others deeper into the Soul Hunter Forest...

Under the starry night, following the markings on the map, Qin Ming led everyone forward.

Two or three hours later, they finally found their target.

On the thick, ancient tree, Qin Ming and the others looked down into the distance.

Under the moonlight.

A bright crane is drinking water by the stream.

White feathers gleamed, red eyes sparkled.

As the water splashed, it would occasionally glance around.

Seeing this, Kelin's face lit up with joy.

"Your Highness, this Bright Forest Crane should be around 650 years old, which meets Qinghe's requirements."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming nodded.

He looked at Xue Qinghe, who was being held by Zhao Wuji, and asked.

"Qinghe, what do you think?"

"Teacher, there's no need to go through any more trouble. Just choose this soul beast."

After receiving a reply, Qin Ming stopped dawdling.

With a light touch of his toes, his figure transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the luminous crane.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ming had taken him down.

At this moment, Ke Lin and Zhao Wuji had also arrived near Qin Ming.

Qin Ming handed the Radiant Crane in his hand to Xue Qinghe.

"Qinghe, just finish him off."

As he spoke, Qin Ming took out a dagger from his storage soul tool and handed it over.

Compared to using soul skills to kill soul beasts.

Using a dagger to kill a soul beast is less noisy and does not consume soul power, allowing the soul master to absorb soul rings in a better state.

Therefore, low-level Soul Masters usually use daggers to kill their elders' seriously injured Soul Beasts.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe took the dagger from Qin Ming.

Xue Qinghe, who had never killed a living being, hesitated at this moment.

Seeing this, Qin Ming reprimanded Xue Qinghe.

"Seize the opportunity and finish it off in one strike. Your hesitation will only bring more pain to this soul beast."

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Xue Qinghe gritted her teeth and used her dagger to sever the neck of the Bright Forest Crane.

Seeing the deep yellow spirit ring float up, Qin Ming waved to Xue Qinghe.

"Qinghe, adjust your mindset and hurry up and absorb the spirit ring."

Such low-level spirit rings cannot be retained for very long.

"Yes, teacher."

Xue Qinghe took a few deep breaths to relax, then sat cross-legged in front of the Radiant Crane and began absorbing the soul rings...

At this moment, Qin Ming leaned against an ancient tree.

As Qin Ming watched Xue Qinghe absorb the soul ring, his thoughts drifted away.

"In just one or two days, I will be able to reach level 58 in soul power."

I'm not far from level 60, but where should I get my sixth ring?

Is it to absorb the inner core of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent in the City of Slaughter, or to search for some other 10-year-old soul beast?

Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be difficult for me to get through the hellish path of the Killing City.

Moreover, I possess the essence of the Blue Silver Emperor, giving me vitality and recovery ability far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Masters.

"It shouldn't take me too long to achieve a 100-win streak in Slaughter City..."

Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Xue Qinghe had already successfully absorbed the soul ring.

"Teacher, I did it!"

Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's voice, Qin Ming snapped out of his daze.

"Qinghe, well done."

As he spoke, Qin Ming looked at Zhao Wuji and Ke Lin.

"Bishop Colleen, Teacher Zhao Wuji, let's set up camp here for the night."

We'll head straight back to Wuhun City tomorrow morning.

"Yes, Your Highness..."

After receiving replies from several people, Qin Ming stretched his body and leaned against the ancient tree again.

Qin Ming decided not to think about the sixth spirit ring anymore.

The bridge will naturally straighten as it reaches the bow of the boat.

Qin Ming had already decided that after returning to Wuhun City, he would first go into seclusion to break through to level 60 in soul power...
