The Ultimate Conductive Terror Beast stands on Douluo Continent

Gu You and Tang San were not unprepared. In addition to the necessary water bottles and clothes, Gu You found a lot of weapons piled up when he was cleaning the utility room, so he chose a few better daggers and short swords and tied them around his waist.

Tang San did not bring a dagger, but chose daggers instead. He also found a few lightweight table knives and sharpened them again. He found materials for setting traps in the pile of miscellaneous items and put them all on his body.

At the same time, using the pharmacology knowledge learned by the Tang Sect in the previous life, he picked a lot of herbs outside the city of Nottingham and made various ointments. He divided them into two small bags, kept one for himself, and gave the other to Gu You last night and told him the effects of the various ointments.

Mashuno was very satisfied to see the two men fully armed. Every soul hunting was a dance between life and death, so no matter how cautious one was, it was not too much.

It takes two days to get from Notting City to the Soul Beast Forest. During these two days, Mashu Nuo has been teaching the two various precautions and tips for the Soul Beast Forest, such as not to light a fire at night unless necessary, not to camp too close to the water, and the saying among civilians that lying on the ground and pretending to be dead can survive the mouth of a soul beast is false, etc. Gu You and Tang San also knew that Mashu Nuo was concerned about them, and wrote down his words very seriously.

Two days later, the group arrived at the outskirts of the big forest. Unlike what Gu You and Tang San had imagined, there was a human gathering area on the outskirts of the forest. There were large houses, vendors along the streets, and all kinds of shouting sounds coming one after another. A noisy atmosphere enveloped Gu You and his group.

Seeing that the two people's expressions were a little strange, Mashouno smiled and said, "Is it different from what you imagined?"

"This is the Soul Hunting Town. Usually, you need to stay in the Soul Beast Forest for nearly a week, so all kinds of supplies must be prepared. This kind of Soul Hunting Town has slowly developed from this. Food, drinking water, medicine, weapons, protective gear, etc. can all be purchased here, but the price will be much higher than other places."

Ma Xiunuo touched Gu You's head and continued, "There is also a soul master team. Usually, soul hunting requires a team with a full range of soul masters. First, the strength of soul beasts is often much stronger than the soul masters who need their soul rings. Second, someone is also needed to be on guard when absorbing soul rings to prevent being attacked by other soul beasts."

Tang San asked: "Grandpa Mashunuo, do we need to prepare some more items?"

"No need," Mashouno said, "We have good stuff on us."

Matthew stretched out his right hand. On his right index finger was a black ring with mysterious patterns printed on it and a small white gem in the middle.

"This is a soul guide. With this, I can easily carry all my daily necessities."

"What is a soul guide?" Tang San asked.

Mashuno explained: "A soul guide is a special item that is driven by soul power. Just like the lamps we use every day, the devices that bring water to the bathroom, and a series of common things in life are all soul guides, but they are classified as auxiliary soul guides."

"The ring on my hand is a storage soul guide. There is about three cubic meters of space inside the ring. By infusing soul power, you can put items in or take them out at will. But you can't put living things in it. Living things will die if you put them in."

"This is the symbol of every Spirit Hall Master. The one in my hand was given to me by the previous Spirit Hall Master of Notting City. I will also give it to the next Master when I retire in the future. The Notting City Spirit Hall is the lowest level Spirit Hall, so the internal space of this ring is only three cubic meters. The rings of higher level Spirit Hall Masters have larger space."

"Finally, there are weapon soul guides. These soul guides can exert incredible effects through soul power. I heard that there is a sword-shaped soul guide collected in the Spirit Hall. After infusing soul power, it can make flying slashes. If a Titled Douluo uses it, it can even cut off a mountain."

"It's a pity that the manufacturing principles of storage soul guides and weapon soul guides have been completely lost. Although the life soul guide has not been lost, the manufacturing drawings have also been lost. Only a few people have preserved the manufacturing process through word of mouth."

“With your talents, if you enter the Spirit Hall, at the very least you can become the masters of the Spirit Halls in the capitals of the two empires, and the storage soul guides you can get are much larger than mine.” Although he was rejected by the two, Matthew Nuo still hinted at the benefits of joining the Spirit Hall, hoping that the two could join the Spirit Hall and grow more smoothly.

"Wow, that's amazing." Gu You understood what Matthew meant, but still refused, answering with a tone of amazement that was obviously fake.

"Brat." Matthew had no way to deal with Gu You and could only scold him with a smile.

At the same time, in Wuhun City.

"Your Holiness, this is the list of the children's martial spirits that have awakened this year." In an empty and magnificent hall, a thin man with sunken eye sockets walked into the hall and respectfully presented the scroll in his hand to a woman sitting on a gorgeous throne at the end of the hall.

The woman was none other than Bibi Dong, the current pope of the Spirit Hall. She was wearing a golden long dress that shone with dazzling brilliance and had over a hundred red, blue, and gold gems on it. The nine-curved purple gold crown on her head was even more brilliant, and she held a two-meter-long scepter inlaid with countless gems. Her fair skin and nearly perfect face made her look so different. Especially the invisible nobility and holiness that emanated from her. If one did not have a firm will, one would probably feel like worshipping her from the bottom of one's heart at the first sight.

The woman reached out her hand and took the paper roll. The man said, "This year, many children have awakened their spirits from various spirit halls. It took a long time to compile the statistics. Please forgive me, Pope."

The woman said calmly, "It's okay."

The man bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Pope."

After a pause, he continued, "This year, there are 7 children who have awakened to level 365 innate spirit power, including three with full innate spirit power. It is worth noting that all of them were awakened by the Notting City Spirit Hall in the Tiandou Empire."

"Oh?" Bibi Dong was curious, "All of them?"

"Yes." The man lowered his head. "The martial spirits of the three children with innate full spirit power are the Ultimate Conductive Terror Beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit, and the Blue Silver Grass."

"Blue Silver Grass?" The woman chuckled and said, "Can Blue Silver Grass also awaken the innate full soul power? And what is that ultimate conductive beast?"

"Yes, according to the information reported, the soul master in charge of awakening has carefully observed it and it is indeed the appearance of ordinary blue silver grass. The name of the other child's ultimate conduction beast martial spirit was given by himself. According to the report, this martial spirit has the potential to be a top-level beast martial spirit."

"Blue Silver Grass, if his theory is true, then could that child be..." Bibi Dong murmured to herself.

Then he asked the man, "Where are the three geniuses?"

The man's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "They all rejected the invitation from the Spirit Hall." Bibi Dong was about to frown, but the man immediately said, "But the Spirit Hall Master of Notting City presented a secret letter and expressed the hope that it could be delivered directly to you, sir."

After saying that, the man took out a letter from his arms and gently handed it to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong frowned as she looked at the letter, then gradually her brows began to relax. She smiled and said, "Genius? This kid is quite confident."

"Ghost." "Yes, Your Holiness."

"Go tell the person in charge of Wuhun Newspaper that if you receive an article from a person named Gu You in Notting City in the future, please hand it over to me for review first. Go ahead."

“Yes, Your Holiness.” After saying that, the man turned and left the hall.

In my setting, Bibi Dong guessed that Tang San was Tang Hao's child. After all, Qianxun Ji killed the spirit beast Blue Silver Emperor that had just given birth. The age, martial spirit, and even talent all matched. Except for the twin martial spirits, Bibi Dong should have guessed everything else.

Chapter 26 The Soul Hunt Begins

After leaving the Soul Hunting Town, they continued walking for half an hour before they saw a city wall. The wall was about five meters high, with no end in sight on either side. A large number of metal spikes were installed on the wall.

Matthew showed his ring and token to the guards guarding the gate. After Su Yuntao parked the carriage and Matthew put all the items into the ring, the guards opened the pure metal gate to let Gu You and his party pass. Only then did the two discover that spikes were also installed inside the city wall. Compared with the outside, the one facing the soul beast forest was slightly blackened, and there was solidified soul beast blood at the bottom of the spikes.

Seeing the two people's eyes, Mashuno explained: "These are what were left after the soul beasts attacked during the beast tide. The last beast tide was hundreds of years ago."

Inside the city wall, there is a vast grassland. Mashuno explained that this is to facilitate the observation of soul beast riots in advance and to allow time to prepare for response.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally reached the outskirts of the forest. Mashuno asked everyone to stop and rest, and to get ready before officially starting the soul hunting.

Gu You sorted out the short knife tied to his waist and several daggers tied to his thighs, while Tang San checked the daggers and sharpened table knives all over his body, and secretly checked the sleeve arrows in his hand to keep them ready to fire at any time.

"Let's go." Mashunuo and Su Yuntao were also ready, and they started to hunt souls with two prospective soul masters. Su Yuntao led the way, the two newcomers were in the middle, and Mashunuo was in the rear.

Entering the forest, he found that the path in the forest was completely different from what Gu You had imagined. The fallen leaves, exposed tree roots, and vines would affect his footing, not to mention the bushes in some places. If he had not been well prepared in advance, and if Su Yuntao had not been there to lead the way, the thorns on the bushes alone would have been enough to make Gu You suffer.

Gu You whispered to Tang San: "The forest here is completely different from our Holy Spirit Village." Tang San nodded, and Mashu Nuo behind him laughed and said: "How can it be the same? The Spirit Hall has arranged spirit masters to clean up the woods near the human living area, and the bushes and so on have been cleared. And spirit masters have also been arranged to check later to prevent the appearance of ten-year spirit beasts."

Gu You said: "We just came to the Soul Beast Forest from the north gate. Wolf hunting is a random activity. Let's go to the east district to help Xiao San get his soul ring, and then slowly look for the soul ring I want. Let's go to the southeast."

After hearing this, Su Yuntao silently changed his direction from due south to southeast.

Along the way, Tang San saw many soul beasts, both herbivorous soul beasts that lived in groups and solitary carnivorous soul beasts. Gu You, Su Yuntao and Mashu Nuo explained to him one by one the knowledge about soul beasts and how to avoid conflicts with soul beasts unless necessary.

Gu You said: "Xiao San, you must remember that unless you need the soul ring of a soul beast or are being chased by a soul beast and cannot escape and need to protect yourself, you must not kill soul beasts indiscriminately."

"Generally speaking, the soul rings of soul beasts are divided according to their age. That is to say, those that have lived for more than ten years are ten-year soul beasts, those that have lived for more than a hundred years are hundred-year soul beasts, and so on. The strongest soul beast has lived for at least a hundred thousand years."

"Xiao San, have you ever thought about what to do if all the soul beasts die?"

"Have all the soul beasts died?" Tang San thought for a moment, "It's impossible. With so many life forbidden areas and the soul beasts in the sea, how could they all die?"

Gu You shook his head. "That's not the case, Xiao San. Usually, a soul master has nine soul rings at most. According to the most popular soul ring ratio of two yellow, two purple and five black, a Titled Douluo would have to kill nine soul beasts even if he hunts the least number of soul beasts."

Tang San was even more confused, "Nine, that's not a lot."

"If we only look at one Title Douluo, it's not a lot. But if we look at the numerous one- and two-ring spirit masters across the continent, the number is terrifying."

"Why?" Tang San asked. Even Su Yuntao, who was leading the way, and Mashu Nuo, who was guarding the rear, were secretly listening.

"Because soul masters grow too fast, while soul beasts grow too slowly." At this point, Gu You sighed and continued, "A two-ring soul master needs two hundred-year soul rings, but it takes a soul beast a full hundred years to grow into a hundred-year soul beast."

"It only takes us humans ten months to give birth, and the child will grow up and give birth to another child twenty years later. If the parents are soul masters, then the child is likely to be a soul master as well. As long as they have soul power, they will at least be a first-level soul master. Even the lowest-quality ten-year soul beasts take ten years to grow. How many children can the soul master parents give birth to in these ten years?"

Tang San, Su Yuntao and Mashunuo thought about it seriously and felt a little scared.

Ma Xiunuo said in a slightly trembling voice: "From the time a soul beast is born to the time it grows into a hundred-year soul beast, there may be several, dozens or even dozens of first-ring soul masters."

Gu You nodded slightly solemnly. "After I learned about the profession of soul master, I knew very well that this profession was bound to die out."

"According to the data released by the Spirit Hall, the number of soul masters awakening each year is gradually increasing. Even if the number of soul beasts is sufficient now, what about a thousand years later, ten thousand years later, or a hundred thousand years later? Will the soul beasts born now still have a chance to grow into hundred thousand year soul beasts?"

"That's not right, Xiao You." Tang San interrupted Gu You, "Then what does this have to do with our current soul hunting?"

Gu You replied in a nonchalant tone: "It's okay, I'm just talking."

Seeing the other three people glaring at him, Gu You said slowly, "But this is the problem. Even if I don't say it today, the problem still exists. It will only drag on until the soul beasts completely die out, the martial spirits have no soul rings to continue training, and the profession of soul master disappears completely."

Gu You said this because he had seen the situation of the 100,000-year-old soul beast in "Unrivaled Tang Sect". Although he had not seen the sequel, his friends who had seen it also talked about the story of the soul beast in "Legend of Dragon King". In addition, after personally coming to this world, after investigation and thinking, Gu You was very sure that even if Tang San did not regard Douluo Continent as his own backyard after becoming a god, the soul beast would inevitably become extinct, and the profession of soul master would completely disappear in tens of thousands of years.

"I am a genius (compared to the local Aboriginals). It would be fine if I didn't find the problem, but now that I have found the problem and don't solve it, my future self will definitely look down on my present self."

"I will definitely find a way to replace the spirit ring and upgrade my spirit power."

Tang San looked at Gu You in front of him. He felt an incomparably powerful will in his ordinary words. The sunlight shone through the treetops above his head onto Gu You. At that moment, it seemed as if Gu You himself was emitting light.

This is something Tang San cannot do, as he has almost no personal will. In the original work, whether it is fighting against the Spirit Hall or becoming a god, Tang San is passively doing things to satisfy some people's wishes, and he has never shown that he does this thing entirely out of his own will.

"I will help you." Tang San said softly.

At this time, no one noticed that behind the bushes to the left of Matthew, a pair of green eyes were watching them.

Chapter 27: First Battle

Continuing in a southeast direction, the group soon encountered a stream.

Gu You looked at the direction of the stream and said, "Next, we just need to follow this stream to the downstream. The location of the lightning-struck wood is recorded to be near a lake in the southeast. The direction of this stream flows from northwest to southeast, and the downstream location is likely to be the lake mentioned in the record."

Mashunuo stopped Gu You's actions, "Okay, Xiao You, stop, everyone needs to rest now."

"We have been advancing for two hours straight. If we continue, we will run out of energy. If a soul beast attacks us, it will be very dangerous."

Hearing what Mashuno said, Gu You noticed that his breathing had become rapid, and even Tang San, who exercised regularly, had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Gu You realized his problem. It is indeed important to find the soul beast when hunting it, but if you use up your physical strength in the process of searching, it is just like delivering takeout to the soul beast.

Feeling that Gu You was a little disappointed, Su Yuntao immediately comforted Gu You. He deliberately laughed a few times and patted Gu You on the back. "Haha, little genius, you still lack experience. You should listen more to the words of elders like me."

Gu You deliberately glanced at Su Yuntao sideways and curled his lips.

"You little brat." Su Yuntao felt relieved that Gu You was not overwhelmed by the title of genius and pride, and he scolded him with a smile.

"Crack" the sound of branches being broken by something came from the jungle.

"Lone Wolf, possess!" Su Yuntao shouted in a low voice, his muscles swelled instantly, bulging his clothes, the nails on his hands turned into sharp claws, and his exposed arms were covered with gray hair. Two soul rings, one white and one yellow, were wrapped around Su Yuntao's body, flickering slightly with his breathing.

"Iron rod, show up!" With a low shout from Mashunuo, a pure black iron rod about two meters long and as thick as a one-year-old child's arm appeared in Mashunuo's hand. Mashunuo stood in a horse stance, one hand stretched forward, and the other hand held the iron rod under his armpit. Two soul rings, one white and one yellow, slowly floated up and down behind him. His eyes were fixed on the place where the sound came from.

Hearing the sound, Tang San immediately entered a combat posture. He pulled out the dagger with both hands in an instant, and a faint purple light appeared in his eyes.

Gu You took a full step, and the other three were ready for battle before they placed their hands on the daggers at their waists, ready to draw them at any time.

A black wolf head slowly emerged from behind the tree, followed by its front paws, torso, hind legs, and finally its tail. There was a white stripe on each side of its torso, and its eyes were green, staring straight at everyone.

"It's black in color, with white stripes on its trunk and green eyes. This is a wolfhunter." Gu You said in surprise. He didn't expect to meet the soul beast he needed so soon. As a solitary soul beast without a settlement, the entire forest is its range of activity. Gu You originally estimated that it would take at least a week to find the wolfhunter's traces and track it.

"Ha, what good luck." Su Yuntao, who had transformed into a werewolf, clenched his fists and clashed them against his chest, "Xiao You, let me show you how powerful I am."
