Legend of Douluo
Chapter 8: First Soul Hunting
In the early morning, Yun Ming quietly opened the wooden door of the dormitory.
Three days ago, Oscar's soul power reached level [-], and Flanders and the teachers at the academy were naturally very happy.So that night, Dean Flender even hosted a feast for everyone in the college.
Thinking of the scene that night when Shao Xin greatly praised Flanders' vision, Yun Ming couldn't help but smile.
Half a month passed, and although Yun Ming's body gradually improved, several things still weighed on his heart, making Yun Ming's mood somewhat heavy.
One is that since the power of destruction broke out out of control, Yun Ming found that the power of destruction in his body became more spiritual than in the previous life, and as his soul power increased, the power of destruction also slowly increased.
It's just that Yun Ming can't blend it with his own soul power no matter what.
Moreover, this power of destruction seems to be suppressing his own soul power on his own, making Yun Ming's soul power operation become quite stagnant.
Every time I practice meditation, the effect is not as ideal as in the previous life.
The second is that since then, that violent emotion has always lingered in my mind and cannot be dispelled.If Yun Ming hadn't been a human being in two lifetimes, and his mental state and mental strength were far beyond ordinary people, I really wouldn't dare to imagine what terrible scenes would happen now.
But fortunately, it was not without any benefits. After this incident, Yun Ming found that his physical fitness was slightly stronger than before.Under the suppression of the power of destruction, although the soul power increased slowly, it became extremely solid.
Moreover, Yun Ming had a hunch that he might not have an easy life in the future.
If the physical strength and mental power cannot always restrain this destructive force, what awaits you will either explode and die, or completely lose your mind and fall into evil ways...
But there is no point in overthinking, just do your best.
While I was busy, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Today is the day that Flanders takes Yun Ming and Oscar to hunt for the soul ring.
Today, Yun Ming can only choose to hunt the soul beast.
The three souls of my previous life have long since been extinguished, and there is no way to resurrect them.
Moreover, my current cultivation level is low, and I have no status to speak of. Even if I know the method of soul transformation, I still can't use it.
You must know that there are only a handful of spirit beasts with a cultivation level of less than ten thousand years, let alone those who are willing to conclude a soul contract with humans.
As for the method of artificial souls, Yun Ming knew something about it, but it was simply impossible to realize it with the technology of this era.
But there are many advantages to being born in this era.
The first is the diversification of soul skills.
As long as you have the patience to find a suitable soul beast, you can make your own soul skills as close to perfect as possible.In Yun Ming's previous life, the soul skills given to soul masters by souls were often relatively simple.
Fighting soul masters are okay, but auxiliary soul masters, especially food soul masters, often need one soul for each soul ring in the early stages of cultivation, until they finally face the dilemma of having difficulty maintaining their souls with their mental strength.
Another point is that although the method of the soul master directly absorbing the soul ring to advance is a bit crude, the rapid impact on the body, soul power and mental power every time the soul ring penetrates the body is a good way for the soul master to consolidate his own cultivation. An excellent opportunity to enhance your physical fitness.
It can be said that souls and soul rings have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Walking towards the playground, Flanders and Oscar have already arrived.Seeing Yun Ming, Oscar shouted excitedly: "Xiaoyun, come on!"
Seeing the excitement on Oscar's face, Yun Ming couldn't help but smile.During this time, it was obvious that Oscar had become a lot more cheerful.But another thing is that while this guy is cheerful, he also obviously likes to play tricks.
He often performs some unbelievable tricks, which makes his teacher Shao Xin a little sad. He always laments how his well-behaved little apprentice could become like this.
Flanders returned to his cold demeanor. When he saw Yun Ming, he just nodded, said "Let's go", turned around and walked out of the gate.
It was calm along the way, probably because he was worried about bringing two children with him, Flanders slowed down a little, but even so, Oscar still looked like he was dying.
After walking and stopping, we finally arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the forest in the evening.
At this moment, the lights were on, and there were not many pedestrians walking on the street.After a tiring day, the three of them had no intention of wandering around and hastily found an inn to stay.
Silent all night.
At dawn, Yun Ming climbed out of bed habitually. Since he was going to enter the Star Forest today, Yun Ming did not meditate last night, but had a good sleep. After all, he had to take care of himself before entering the forest. The mental and physical state is the basic common sense of soul masters in this era.
Facing Chu Yang on the horizon, Yun Ming, who had practiced the Purple Demon Eyes and wanted to go out to practice his spear, stopped.
That's the disadvantage of being away from home. It's always inconvenient to practice shooting or something like that.
After washing up and having breakfast, the three of them walked slowly towards the Star Forest...
In his past life, this was the first time that Yun Ming saw such a vast forest. He felt the strong breath of life comparable to the one on Poseidon Island in the academy in his previous life. Then he thought about the small piece of forest surrounded by steel barriers in his impression. A place of great danger."
Yun Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly...
Approaching the forest, Flender's face became more serious, and he patiently warned Yun Ming and Oscar: "Xiao Ao, although this is not your first time here, don't leave my side when you enter the forest. The five-meter range. Xiaoyun, this is your first time here. This Star Dou Forest is no better than the spirit beast forests kept in captivity in other countries."
"Wait, just like Xiao Ao, don't leave me too far."
As he spoke, he took out a long knife from the storage soul guide and said to the two of them: "Follow me."
Flender led the way, and Yun Ming and Oscar followed him step by step.
After entering the forest, Yun Ming gathered his mental strength immediately and paid attention to the movements coming from around him. Seeing Yun Ming's prepared but not panicked performance, Flanders felt even more satisfied.
It's just that there is always some regret in my heart. Yun Ming is not a flying martial spirit, and he has said before that he had a master. Although he is no longer alive, he can't bring up the matter of becoming a master again.
The road conditions in the forest are always not very good. Although Flanders opened the way, the traveling speed of the three of them was also much slower.
Encountering some low-level soul beasts on the road, Flanders originally planned to deal with them directly, but was stopped by Yun Ming.
In desperation, the three of them had to take a short detour. Seeing the puzzled look on Oscar's face, Yun Ming smiled and explained: "Everything in this world has a balance, just like a small fish eating a small shrimp. , the big fish eats the small fish, and after the big fish dies, it is eaten by the most inconspicuous mayflies in the water, and the mayflies are exactly the food of the small shrimps.”
"You can just imagine, if one of them is hunted and killed, what will the final situation be like?"
Seeing the look of horror on Oscar's face, Yun Ming nodded and continued: "This is the case for all species in the world. In this vast forest, there is actually a cycle. From some kind of To a certain extent, the emergence of human soul masters has broken this balance. A soul master needs at least one or two soul rings in his lifetime, and as many as eight or nine. Not to mention some cases of indiscriminate killing."
"Although the current base of soul beasts is much larger than that of human soul masters, their cultivation is much slower than that of human soul masters. If things go on like this one day, human soul masters will face the point where no rings are available. If that day comes, , the number of soul masters will inevitably gradually decrease, and the profession of soul masters may even become extinct."
"At the same time, when the remaining soul beasts gradually become short of food, it will not only intensify the sharp decline in the number of soul beasts. In serious cases, they can only choose to go out to eat people..."
"The most serious situation is that until the end, there will be no more living creatures in this world..."
"This person, born between heaven and earth, still has to have a certain degree of reverence for this world..."
Yun Ming's words scared Oscar to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat, and even Flanders had goosebumps.
Seeing the astonishment on the two people's faces, Yun Ming smiled and continued: "Of course, this is only the most extreme situation. Maybe many years later, we will be able to think of a way to break the situation."
But thinking about what happened in the past life, although Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao created the soul method, and later the Spirit Transferring Tower developed artificial souls, human greed still made the soul beasts gradually on the verge of extinction.
Isn't this another extreme situation?
Until his death, coupled with the threat of the abyss, the God Realm had long ceased to exist.Although he was protected by the soul guide, he could not imagine where the fate of mankind would eventually go...
While his mind was ups and downs, a vague thought gradually emerged in Yun Ming's heart.
"Perhaps my arrival can leave a slightly better foundation for this world..."
After half a day of walking and stopping, Yun Ming and the others had arrived at the activity area of the century-old soul beast.
When he got here, Yun Ming didn't dare to be distracted anymore and kept staring at the surrounding situation closely.
When they walked around a small swamp, the three of them noticed an unusually elegant aroma, and their spirits were lifted for a moment.
Walking around the low bushes next to it, I saw a clear white lotus standing in the mud, and there were several obviously mature lotus pods swaying gently next to it.
Flanders was overjoyed when he saw this and said to Oscar: "Xiao Ao, you are really lucky. As soon as you entered the forest, you met a Pure Heart Lotus. This thing is an excellent antidote. It seems to be no less than 600 years old. It can be used for you." The second soul ring is indeed a good choice."
Yun Ming also nodded when he heard the words. He had seen the introduction of this plant-like soul beast in the classics. The Pure Heart Lotus has the effect of neutralizing hundreds of poisons and will produce one flower every hundred years of cultivation.Looking at the plant in front of me, with one flower and five pods, it is indeed 600 to 700 years old.
After carefully looking around and seeing that there was no movement, Flanders immediately possessed his martial soul, and with his wings fanning, he flew towards the Pure Heart Lotus in the swamp.
There were no unexpected situations during the process. Under the pressure of Flanders' Soul Saint, a century-old plant soul beast had no room to resist.
He was directly uprooted by Flanders, came to the shore and threw the Pure Heart Lotus in his hand at Oscar's feet. The poor little white flower was unable to move at all under Flanders' pressure.
He handed the long knife to Oscar and warned: "Just point it at the top of the lotus root and cut it off."
Oscar nodded, held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, and then slashed hard, looking at the guy's unfamiliar force exertion method and shaky body.Yun Ming couldn't help but shook his head.
Fortunately, it is a soul beast like Jingxinlian whose body is fragile after all, otherwise it may not be able to cut it off.
A bright yellow halo slowly rose, Oscar hurriedly sat on the ground, pulled the soul ring, and slowly absorbed it.
Flanders was standing by to protect him.
Yun Ming walked to the side of Jingxin Lotus. He first carefully removed the lotus seeds from the lotus pods, then selected all the lotus roots cleanly. After throwing two more mature lotus seeds into the swamp, he removed the rest. Everything was handed to Flanders.
Flanders naturally knows that the lotus seeds of Jingxinlian are extremely rare and are a good antidote to poisons, but what does this kid mean by giving him a few lotus roots covered with mud...
Seeing the confusion in Flender's eyes, Yun Ming smiled and said: "Dean, you must know the function of this lotus seed. But in comparison, the value of this lotus root is actually higher. This thing has the ability to open meridians, The effect of removing impurities from the body, if consumed regularly, there will be almost no bottlenecks before level [-], and the taste is also good."
Hearing Yun Ming's explanation, Flanders's eyes also lit up. You must know that in this era, although soul masters have appeared for a long time, their exploration of the world and themselves are still in their basic infancy.
Even the in-depth research on soul beasts is basically at zero. At best, we only know what kind of soul skills will be obtained after killing what kind of soul beast.
As for the research on soul beast ingredients and elixirs, it is basically blank.
An hour passed quickly, and Oscar's expression remained calm.After all, this Pure Heart Lotus is not very old, and it is a plant-based soul beast. It is gentler than an animal-based soul beast, so it is not too difficult to absorb it.
As Oscar stood up, Yun Ming looked at him. At this moment, Oscar seemed to have grown taller, and his skin had become a bit more transparent.
It's just... damn, this guy has become more beautiful...
Three days ago, Oscar's soul power reached level [-], and Flanders and the teachers at the academy were naturally very happy.So that night, Dean Flender even hosted a feast for everyone in the college.
Thinking of the scene that night when Shao Xin greatly praised Flanders' vision, Yun Ming couldn't help but smile.
