Vic Ice City is located at the junction of three countries in the southernmost part of the Kingdom of Silves.
The War King Academy is not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, only about two hundred kilometers away.
This place naturally becomes the best place to obtain soul rings.
One hundred kilometers away is the area where the Soul Hunting Town is widely distributed.
Because it was not far, we didn't use a carriage and traveled on foot.
On the afternoon of the first day, the group rushed to the Soul Hunting Town and took a short rest.
Then we set off at full speed and reached our destination the next day.
What comes into view is a magnificent primeval forest.
The trees on the periphery are towering, each one is at least over twenty meters tall.
The majestic trees are densely packed together, forming a dense green barrier that isolates the forest from the outside world.
The shadows of the trees were so thick and the branches were so dense that there was no path at all and it was impossible to see the specific scenery inside.
As you approach the forest, you will feel a cool feeling. The refreshing breath of life flows into your lungs with your breath, as if it can nourish your body and cleanse your soul.
"Stop temporarily, rest for an hour, and then enter again."
The dean waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.
The teachers are fine, this distance is nothing to them.
But the students did feel a little breathless.
He is just a young soul master who has not yet obtained his second soul ring. Running 100 kilometers every day for two consecutive days is already a big challenge.
If they just go in like this, they may be too tired to notice some subtle dangers, which may cause casualties among the students.
The students were resting and the teachers were standing guard around.
The dean and Lin Tianyang walked over to Fang Ling who was drinking water and asked, "What soul skill do you want?"
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "It would be best if I could meet a space-type soul. I hope to obtain a teleportation soul skill that can be used in conjunction with my body movements to make up for the lack of long-range attacks."
Space?
Both of them were a little hesitant. It was rare to find a soul beast with this type of soul skill.
And teleportation is even more difficult to catch.
Seeing their dilemma, Fang Ling did not force them to fight: "If we can't find it, then anything that can increase the attack power, sharpness, and hardness will also work."
No matter which one, once obtained, there will be an immediate improvement effect, and the martial soul will also grow accordingly.
To Fang Ling, they are all pretty good.
He has a panel, and the age of his spirit ring can be upgraded!
Is that so?
The two began to think, and Lin Tianyang raised his eyebrows and smiled at Fang Ling: "Okay, then the teacher will definitely help you choose a powerful soul beast."
"Don't worry, with Master here, it's just a powerful hundred-year soul beast. As long as it's not some awesome super soul beast, it won't be a problem."
The dean also echoed what his son said.
"Thank you, teacher, and thank you, master." Fang Ling was happy.
Then, as if he remembered something, he quickly took out a few pieces of homemade jerky from his Frost Ring.
"Come and have some, I made it myself, it tastes pretty good."
This was emergency reserve food. Because the Frost and Snow Ring had a large space, he made several hundred kilograms of it.
Bring a lot of water too.
The two took it in confusion, sniffed it first, smelling a salty fragrance, and then took a bite.
It is dry but not woody, with the right amount of softness and hardness, and it tastes very good.
Lin Tianyang was surprised: "You can cook? It's been a year, how come I don't know it?"
Fang Ling said: "My cooking skills are pretty good, but I've been obsessed with cultivation in the academy. I've also got some money, so I don't have to live as frugally as before, so I've gotten used to eating in the cafeteria."
"I see."
The dean stroked the tuft of white hair on his head and asked for another bag as a snack.
The teacher also took a bag.
After the rest, the two teams separated and headed in different directions.
There is precedent that too many people may cause siege by soul beasts.
If it was a forest like the Soul Hunting Forest, where the soul beasts were less aggressive and only lived for a hundred years at most, and even a thousand years was extremely rare, then it certainly didn't matter.
You can siege yours, and I will hunt mine.
This is not the case with the Star Forest.
As one of the three major gathering places for wild soul beasts on the continent, this place has a large area and complex terrain, including wetlands, swamps, rivers, lakes, etc. There are many kinds of soul beasts inside, and they will walk out of the forest from time to time and are full of aggressiveness.
There are even soul beasts that are thousands of years old and occasionally appear on the periphery.
It is said that there are soul beasts of 100,000 years old in the deep.
Fang Ling knew that this was not just a legend, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were both there.
There may be more hidden deep inside.
But these are irrelevant to this trip, so don't consider them.
But just the periphery is dangerous enough. If there is a riot due to too many people, we might all die here.
Even the dean, a powerful Soul Emperor, was no longer as carefree as usual and was much more steady.
The standing arrangement of the crowd was simple.
The teachers are on the outside, those with strong records in the fighting arena are in the middle, and those with weak records are inside.
Fang Ling is the strongest, so of course he stands in the middle and on the outside.
After arranging the formation and communicating how to escape in case of an accident, everyone started to move forward.
The terrain in the Star Dou Great Forest is very complex. There are no roads in the forest at all, and there are branches and vines everywhere.
The dean has the highest level of cultivation and is the strongest, but he must always be vigilant to avoid any unexpected incidents.
The job of clearing the way naturally fell on Lin Tianyang.
He grasped the Liufeng Knife, and a sharp wind blade broke through the air, quickly opening up a path within a distance of dozens of meters.
Fang Ling followed closely behind, keeping his eyes and ears open, and being alert to everything around him with his fastest reaction.
There were many poisonous creatures in the primeval forest, and even someone with little knowledge like him knew there were many kinds.
The first soul ring that Tang San absorbed, the Mandragora Snake, is just an insignificant one here.
Including the human-faced magic bead, the green-scaled red-ringed snake, the one-horned viper, the plague lizard, the blood-drinking leech... too many to count.
If he were to hide somewhere and suddenly attack, it would be uncomfortable even if the teacher was a Soul Sect member.
There were no unexpected events. After walking a short distance, they encountered two soul beasts that were confronting each other.
A pitch-black mandrill with blue and dark purple fur, relatively thin legs, and on all fours.
Its fangs are sharp, its face is fierce, and its eyes are flashing a faint red light, giving people a bloodthirsty feeling.
Opposite is an ostrich-like creature.
It has vine-like feathers on its body and a long, pointed beak. Judging from the undried blood and sharp serrations on its beak, it is also a ferocious species.
"A three hundred year old violent mandrill, and a seven hundred year old rattan-feathered razor-beaked bird." After making a simple distinction, the dean waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.
We didn't walk far before we saw soul beasts fighting. What a good start.
"The Violent Mandrill's combat power is sufficient, but unfortunately it is a little low in age. Moreover, its fanatical soul skills have great side effects. The most important thing in a battle is reason. I don't recommend hunting this type of soul beast anyway."
The dean introduced the creature to everyone in a low voice, and then instructed his son to hunt.
"Tianyang, go ahead and scare the mandrill away. Chop off the bird's wings, beak, and legs and bring it to me."
Lin Tianyang simply observed for a moment and blew away the fallen leaves on the ground.
He didn't find any poisonous snakes or any naturally formed traps on the ground, so he rushed out from the leaves.
The dean continued to explain to everyone:
"The Seven Hundred Years Old Rattan Feathered Razorbeak is not a very aggressive soul beast. Although it is carnivorous, it usually hides in the woods and sneak attacks with its hard beak. This one seems to have a foot injury and was caught by the mandrill."
"Is this the soul beast prepared for me?" Fang Ling walked up to him.
Listening to this description, it fits his personality very well.
"No, this kind of soul beast is not that strong, and it is not worthy of a combat genius like you, but it is more than enough for them."
The dean was not shy about being in front of everyone, and geniuses certainly received preferential treatment.
"Master said to find a good one for you. Now I have some ideas. I remember a few places where there may be soul beasts suitable for you. Don't worry."
"Okay, thank you, Master." Fang Ling suppressed the excitement in his heart.
His eyes were fixed on the extremely fast-paced battle ahead.
I don't know what soul skills and specialties the new soul ring can gain.
Really looking forward to it.
