Chapter 22: Entering the Soul Hunting Forest
The teacher leading Su Yun and the other two students is a level 29 Soul Master named Xiong.
Su Yun had encountered his martial soul in a previous sparring class.
True to his name, his martial soul is a black bear. {Xiong = Bear}
Moreover, both of the teacher's soul rings are hundred-year soul rings! Although he mentioned that the first soul ring just happened to cross the hundred-year level.
For Soul Masters in a small place like this, this level is already very good.
The majority of Soul Masters here only have a white ten-year soul ring as their first one.
As for the other two male students who came together, they are already fourth-year work-study students, a bit older than Su Yun.
However, it's worth mentioning that these two boys are twins. And their martial souls are the same, both being pythons.
Both of them have a innate soul power of level 4.
On the way, they had already discussed with the teacher about the soul rings they wanted.
They wanted the soul ring of the Earth Dragon Python.
The teacher had mentioned it in class before, even pointing out the names of these twin brothers.
The Earth Dragon Python belongs to the type of soul beast that is tough and robust.
It is known for its endurance and great strength.
The scales on its body are also extremely tough.
Su Yun nodded inwardly upon hearing this: the soul ring of the Earth Dragon Python is indeed suitable for these twin brothers.
"Su Yun, have you figured out what kind of soul ring you want?"
In the carriage, the twin brother sitting beside Su Yun asked.
"Not yet," Su Yun shook his head. Then he added, "But I plan to go for the auxiliary path."
After hearing his words, the younger twin lifted his head, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Sounds like a good idea."
"The teacher mentioned in class that the attack power of Blue Silver Grass itself is not high."
"As an auxiliary-type Soul Master, with your innate full soul power talent, it shouldn't be difficult to join other intermediate Soul Master academies, or even advanced Soul Master academies, in the future."
Teacher Xiong, sitting in the middle of the carriage, smiled and said, "Haha, Su Yun, don't be in a hurry."
"We'll find a suitable soul beast for you. Don't worry."
Teacher Xiong pointed to the long spear on Su Yun's thigh, looking a bit displeased, "But, why did you bring a spear with you? Don't you trust me?"
The twin brothers were also puzzled about why Su Yun brought a weapon when the teacher was already helping.
Su Yun didn't hide anything and explained his intention to hunt soul beasts alone.
As expected, Teacher Xiong immediately shook his head in refusal after hearing his words.
Let a six-year-old child hunt soul beasts alone? If something happened, how could he explain it to the academy?
However, Su Yun eventually persuaded Teacher Xiong.
Permission for Su Yun to hunt soul beasts alone is limited, though.
The condition is that Teacher Xiong must be present to prevent any accidents.
Su Yun didn't refuse. After all, he had nothing to hide.
The reason he brought the teacher along was to prevent other Soul Masters from targeting him.
After all, he's only six years old, going out alone. People's hearts are unpredictable. He just wanted to be cautious.
Wait until he grows up, then he can be a bit more carefree.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the group arrived at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.
Guided by Teacher Xiong, Su Yun and the other two students walked through the crowd and entered the Soul Hunting Forest.
As soon as they entered the Soul Hunting Forest, Su Yun's eyes lit up.
It must be said that the biggest difference between the Soul Hunting Forest and the academy's back mountain is the taste of soul power.
Although there is soul power everywhere on the continent...
But the soul power in each place has its unique flavor.
If the soul power in the academy's back mountain is like a cup of plain water...
Then the soul power in the Soul Hunting Forest is like a cup of soda.
This refreshing feeling was something Su Yun experienced for the first time.
Involuntarily, a cluster of golden-blue silver grass released from Su Yun's left hand.
And when Su Yun's martial soul was released, he suddenly felt countless weak breaths around his body.
Those weak breaths were like breathing. If you didn't actively perceive their existence, you would almost ignore them.
"Hmm?"
Walking in the front, Teacher Xiong made a soft exclamation and turned to look.
He saw that the Blue Silver Grass on both sides of the forest path was swaying slowly.
Moreover, the direction in which they swayed was all pointing towards Su Yun behind him!
"Hiss... What's going on?"
Teacher Xiong was somewhat surprised.
The twin students were also amazed when they saw this scene.
"Su Yun, why are these Blue Silver Grass shaking their heads toward you?"
Su Yun also noticed the abnormality of the Blue Silver Grass around him at this time.
Regarding this, he naturally knew what was going on.
The existence of the Blue Silver Emperor is a noble presence for these Blue Silver Grass, which have only been around for a few years. They are bowing to his martial soul.
"I don't know, maybe it's because my martial soul has full innate soul power."
Su Yun gave a vague explanation.
"That makes sense."
"After all, it's rare for Blue Silver Grass to have full innate soul power. Maybe these Blue Silver Grass are recognizing your Blue Silver Grass martial soul as their leader."
Teacher Xiong laughed heartily.
Su Yun also responded with a wry smile.
Teacher, you almost got it right.
"Hey, I remember Tang San's Blue Silver Grass also has full innate soul power, but why haven't I seen his Blue Silver Grass have this phenomenon?"
"I don't know."
The twin brother shook his head.
Suddenly, the twin brother's eyes lit up, turned to look at Su Yun, and said:
"By the way, Su Yun, I remember Tang San's first soul ring is the Man-faced Demon Spider soul ring."
"I heard that his teacher discovered it, called the Martial Soul Mimicry Theory, where a plant martial soul can also absorb an animal soul ring."
"You can also go for control like Tang San instead of auxiliary?"
Teacher Xiong, walking in front, agreed, "Although I can't say whether Master's theory is true or false."
"But this time, I think what he said makes some sense."
"I've seen Tang San's first soul skill. His first soul skill, Binding, not only has a toughening effect but also carries poison. It's indeed hard to deal with."
"I know some young nobles with soul power several levels higher than him, but they were defeated by him several times in sparring."
People in the academy don't dismiss Tang San's first soul skill.
On the contrary, they praise it.
However.
Su Yun also knows why they praise it.
In short, it's because people in the academy don't know that Tang San's bloodline is the Blue Silver Emperor.
In the eyes of the world.
Blue Silver Grass is considered a waste martial soul.
A waste martial soul like Blue Silver Grass having a skill like Binding, which has a toughening effect and can cause poison, sounds quite crazy.
But.
All of this is based on the premise that Blue Silver Grass is a waste martial soul.
If the martial soul is a top-tier one like the Blue Silver Emperor.
Choosing a trash soul skill like Binding would simply be brainless.
