"Martial spirit Flaming monkey, can resist, fight and assist, professional spirit hunter for eleven years, just 10 gold coins, don't miss it!"
"Seeking a healing spirit master, 7 gold coins! The team is fully staffed and absolutely safe."
....
Tang Jiu was fully engrossed in his spirit guide. He was pulled back by the noises outside the car. He immediately lifted the curtain to see a bustling bazaar.
"This is the last supply stop before heading to the spirit Hunting Forest, it's a gathering place for spirit masters, there are those who want to be hired to make money and those who want to hire a group to hunt spirit beasts.
Xiao San, Xiao Jiu, let's get off the car and purchase a little something and prepare to enter the spirit hunting Forest."
After explaining, the master got off the car and went to buy white radishes. After buying more than thirty Kgs of white radishes, Tang Jiu went straight to the grocery stall.
"Boss, give me a big iron pot, and all kinds of big ingredients, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar as well" Tang Jiu happily picked things.
"Good! Just wait a moment." The boss was so happy, he was a big customer!
"Xiao Jiu, what are you buying all these things for?" The master asked in confusion.
"For the picnic! Teacher. We're going to hunt thousand-year-old spirit beasts, don't we have to wait for helpers? Why don't we just stay in the spirit Hunting Forest! Slaughter the spirit beasts and just eat the meat stew!" Tang Jiu's mouth watered greedily when he thought of those thousands of strange spirit beasts.
"En, that makes a bit of sense!" The Master thought about it and it seemed feasible, so he didn't stop him.
"There's no sense in that! And you want to have a picnic in the spirit Hunting Forest, children don't know any better, and you, a teacher, are brain-dead too? No wonder so many people die in the spirit Hunting Forest every year!"
At this very moment, a mocking voice came, Tang Jiu looked up and saw that it was a two-man squad, and one of the arrogant men in his thirties spoke.
"Where did the dog come from to bark here? Did your owner let your lease loose today or what?" Tang Jiu's good mood was instantly ruined and he coldly spitted back.
"Kid, I think you're tired of living!" The arrogant man's face sank.
The boss of the grocery stall was also a spirit Master, he hurriedly acted as a peacemaker and stepped in front of the arrogant man, "Brother Jia, calm down, these children are ignorant"
Then the boss turned back to master, "These two are Spirit Elders, they are the most powerful spirit Masters here, they often help people hunt thousand-year-old spirit Beasts!"
"The oldest is called Chen Ga, and the second is called Chen Jia. Their martial souls are swords! Known as the Twin Sword spirit Dignitaries."
Spirit Elders!
The Master's heart sank and his face turned a little ugly, if it was one spirit Elder, perhaps with Tang Jiu's martial spirit he could still take down the other party, but two would be difficult.
Chen Ga, once he heard the grocery shop owner bragging about him, he tilted his head proudly and swept the Grandmaster with the corner of his eye humming.
"I was kind enough to give you a reminder, but I didn't expect you, an unenlightened student, to scold me!"
"When a student makes a mistake, it is right for the teacher to make amends! You kneel down and kowtow to us and apologise, then pay us with 20 gold coins for the loss of reputation and I will let you go!"
As soon as the people around them heard this, they immediately started chattering.
"What? 20 gold Coins! This is too much, we risked our lives to hunt spirit beasts before asking someone for 7 Golden spirit Coins."
"Right, and making a teacher kneel down, that's just bullying! It's clear that they want to extort."
"Blame the kid too, why did he say something back? now you have to cause trouble for your teacher."
....
If Flander were here, he would have slapped these two bastards to death!
But he could only suppress his anger and said, "You've gone too far! You're the ones who started it."
"Outrageous? Are you stupid? We're teaching you how to behave!" Chen Jia bristled disdainfully, then walked up to Grandmaster and surprised him by hitting him hard with his strong body, knocking him off his feet in one fell swoop.
"What a waste!" Chen Jia laughed in triumph.
Tang San's arm was slightly raised, aiming for Chen Jia's throat, ready to strike at any moment, but he was even more unsure than last time. Last time, Tang Jiu had provoked a two-ring Grand Master, but this time it was a three-ring spirit Elder, and he wasn't quite sure if the sleeve arrow would work anymore.
"Alright, old man, hurry up, kowtow and apologise, then pay up or we don't mind breaking your legs first!"
Chen Jia pointed impatiently at the Grandmaster and said.
"You are the ones who should kowtow and apologize, otherwise, I will break your legs!" Tang Jiu said in a cold voice.
When Tang Jiu finished speaking, there was dead silence around them, and they all looked at Tang Jiu with a look of surprise.
"You're going to break our legs? Do you know who we are? Twin Sword spirit Dignitaries!" Chen Jia was even exasperated by Tang Jiu.
"You are nothing but Twin Bitches" Tang Jiu raised his eyebrows and said.
"Really looking for death! Summon your martial spirit! Looks like we're going to give you a good lesson today!"
Chen Jia's face turned cold as his spirit power surged, a long and narrow sword appeared in his hand with three spirit rings, one white, one yellow and one purple, rose from his body.
Chen Ga also bellowed, a large two-handed sword appeared in his hand with three spirit rings, one white, one yellow and one purple, also rose from his body.
Although it was not the best spirit ring configuration, the purple Millennium spirit Ring immediately made the surrounding people's faces turn pale, and they all mourned for Tang Jiu and his group.
As soon as master summoned his martial soul, he immediately summoned his martial spirit as well.
A cute dog appeared but fat like a pig, with big ears and short legs, walking with a twist, especially his ass.
"Haha~~~ So it's actually a trash martial spirit!" Chen Jia laughed indulgently, beast martial souls possess your body after all, and the more vicious the beast martial spirit looked, the more powerful it was and this one didn't have any offensive power at first glance!
Although they saw the Grandmaster's two yellow spirit rings, they didn't put it in their eyes, even more, a person who was almost fifty years old and only had two spirit rings, what was it if not a waste?
"Xiao Jiu, you're too impulsive! As a spirit master, sometimes you have to hold back when you encounter an opponent that you can't defeat! Now, I'll cover your escape!" The Master didn't mean to blame Tang Jiu, he was just passing on his life experience.
"Run away? No, Teacher, I'm going to beat the shit out of them!"
Tang Jiu shook his head, not meaning to run away at all.
When the people around heard Tang Jiu's words, they shook their heads again and all spoke up to question whether Tang Jiu's brain was faulty.
Not to mention the people around, even master frowned and chided, "Little Jiu, you're usually quite smart, what's wrong with you today?"
"Teacher, believe it or not, without lifting a finger, I can make these two bitches be tamed into submission!"
"Xiao Jiu!" The master was just about to scold, when he saw Tang Jiu take out a card from his spirit guide and spoke indifferently, "I'll hire all you spirit masters, regardless of spirit power level, for 5 gold coins each, as long as you beat these two bastards, the money will be yours."
There was dead silence in the originally boisterous bazaar, then there was a roar of cheers, followed by one voice after another.
"Summon your martial souls!"
"Summon the martial soul..."
...
Nearly a hundred people summoned their martial souls. The scene was extremely gorgeous. The grocery shop owner was even the first to do so, raising his pan martial spirit in his hand and roaring wildly, "First spirit skill, flinging the pan!"
"Holy crap!" The Twin Sword spirit Exalted's face turned green.
Beat these two bastards to death!"
"My brother was crippled by them!"
"Let's all go together, let's all take revenge if we have one!"
In a flash, nearly a hundred spirit masters' eyes were red, these two guys often bullied others because of their high strength, usually,no one dared speak out but today so many people were ready to do it.
The only thing they were afraid of was not beating these two guys up with their own hands.
"First spirit Skill, Bind."
"First spirit Skill, Flame Blast."
"First spirit Technique, Trap."
.....
Even though many of them were first ring spirit masters, nearly a hundred first spirit techniques attacking two people was not something that two mere spirit elder could carry off, they would have to be at least level 50 or above to do so.
Besides, the two of them were not defensive spirit masters and they were directly injured in the first wave of skill attacks, spitting out blood and falling to the ground.
The two men held their heads, their bodies curled up to maintain an optimal way of taking a beating and their two pairs of eyes stared deadly at Tang Jiu and his group through the gap in the crowd like a beast ready to eat someone at any moment
Seeing the sudden reversal, the Grandmaster couldn't help but be dumbfounded, then he laughed dumbfoundedly, "Xiao Jiu, I put all my energy into how to use my martial spirit to deal with it but I forgot that I could also use the power of money, what you're doing is very much like a friend of mine, he also likes money and his character is more like you."
"But, Xiao Jiu, how did you know that these people would definitely make a move?" The master stroked Tang Jiu's head and asked.
"These two guys have high strength yet no one likes to team up with them so it's clear that their character is not good! Plus, with their arrogant and domineering looks, they must have offended many people, I just need to make a little use of people's herd mentality."
Tang Jiu hummed as if he did this kind of thing all the time!
The master nodded in satisfaction, then with a cold face said, "Then, let the teacher teach you one more thing. Weed out the field before it becomes a problem"
Tang Jiu had long wanted to get rid of these two guys and made a neck-wiping gesture at Tang San, "Brother, I leave it to you."
"Good!"
Tang San nodded. He was the only one who could kill these two spirit masters unnoticed outside the crowd.
Now, with the two spirit elders beaten to death and their spirit power depleted, Tang San fiercely raised his hand and with a shake, two flying needles flew in through the gap in the crowd and accurately shot into the two men's hearts.
On the other hand, Tang Jiu pulled over the grocery shop owner and paid him 500 gold spirit coins, asking him to distribute the money to the others, then rushed to the spirit Hunting Forest before anyone could react.
...
"Stop, warrant!"
There were soldiers guarding the entrance, covered in steel armour, holding lances, giving off a stern aura.
The master explained to Tang Jiu, "This is a forest for spirit beasts maintained by the state, you cannot just enter, you need a warrant. It is not difficult to obtain a warrant, as long as your strength reaches the point where you need to hunt spirit beasts, you can go to the Martial Spirit Hall and apply for it."
The Grandmaster took out the dark token and showed it to Tang Jiu and Tang San.
Tang Jiu looked at the token in the Grandmaster's hand, which had a sword and a hammer on it, and an additional dragon-shaped mark.
The master introduced: "Remember this mark, this is the exclusive mark of the Martial Spirit Hall, there are six types of marks: sword, hammer, dragon, ghost, star and chrysanthemum. They represent the top six titled Douluo in the continent."
The Master handed the token to the guard, who immediately returned it with immense respect at a glance, then opened the gate to invite the Master and the others inside.
"Teacher, with this token, wouldn't you be able to come here all day to hunt spirit beasts!" Tang Jiu was curoius in his heart, this was a business opportunity!
He had just lost 500 gold spirit coins, he had to earn them back quickly.
"Xiao Jiu, the Martial spirit Hall doesn't allow people to hunt captive spirit beasts recklessly, after all, one dead spirit beast is one less soul! There is a Martial spirit Hall's Enforcement Corps in the spirit Hunting Forest." The Grand Master reminded.
"Then how strong are they?" Tang Jiu asked undeterred.
"Notting City is a small city and the Martial spirit Hall here is only a branch hall, the Enforcement Corps is under the Martial spirit Branch Hall, and the maximum spirit power of the members should not exceed level 40." The Grandmaster recalled the information in his mind and speculated.
"Alright, let's not talk about that, now that we have entered the spirit Hunting Forest, everyone should be more careful."
The Grandmaster said and directly summoned his Beast Martial Spirit, Luo San Pao.
As soon as that small, short-legged, big-eared, fat, pig like dog appeared, Tang Jiu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Master get the admiration of the two top beauties of the Douluo Continent, it should all be due to this martial spirit.
This Luo San Pao was simply a lady snatcher, any girl who saw it probably couldn't help but want to hug it in her arms, he was simply too cute.
"Luoluo, scout ahead!"
Luo San's short legs ran quite fast, plus being a dog, his sense of smell was very keen.
The Grandmaster also took this opportunity to give Tang Jiu and the two of them an introduction on how to identify the age, strength and means of attack of spirit beasts as well as the kind of spirit beast that was suitable to become the spirit ring.
Once again, Tang Jiu and Tang San were impressed by the Master's knowledge; all the spirit beasts throughout this journey, the Master knew, and could even name their weaknesses.
At dark, Tang Jiu and his group entered the area of the hundred-year spirit beasts but not long after they had travelled, Luo San Pao came flying back with an urgent sound coming out of his mouth.
"Lo-lo, lo-lo..."
The Master's face tightened, knowing that a powerful spirit beast had appeared.
In the distance, a 'rustling' sound continued as a pale green poisonous mist filled the air and in the darkness a pair of glittering dark green diamond-shaped eyes stood tall, sending shivers down one's spine.
The master lit a torch to shine through and drew a breath backwards. The huge triangular-shaped snakehead, which was erected, was opening its fanged mouth, treating Tang Jiu and his party as prey, ready to hunt.
The Master's face was unusually grave: "It's a Mandala Snake, this snake's poison is extremely strong, not only does it have a paralyzing effect but it can also destroy nerves, it's one of the most terrifying existences with poison attribute, the most important thing is that it's incredibly fast!"
