Although the green crocodiles are the dominant species in the water, they like to live in groups. With Tang Hao's strength, he could enter the lake regardless of everything and kill all the green crocodiles in one go. Considering that Tang Qingyi had no ability to protect herself on the shore, Tang Hao decided to wait and see.

Tang Hao first took Tang Qingyi to a relatively safe place, set up camp, and asked Tang Qingyi to cook. Then he quickly brought back a scarred giant horned deer.

Tang Hao used a rope to hang the giant-horned deer on a tree by the river and cut its legs. The smell of blood attracted the green-skinned crocodiles hiding in the lake. They circled in the lake vigilantly for a long time, and finally one jumped up, trying to bite the prey on the tree.

At this moment, Tang Hao swung one of the smaller hammers and sent it flying. The green-skinned crocodile fell into a coma. The other green-skinned crocodiles in the lake shrank back silently due to the pressure from Tang Hao.

Seeing that they understood what was happening, Tang Hao stopped attacking and instead grabbed Tang Qingyi by the neck and threw her in front of the green crocodile.

"This soul beast is exactly about four hundred years old. Kill it if you dare."

Tang Hao's cold words seemed to be mocking him secretly, implying that if he didn't dare, he should give up as soon as possible.

Tang Qingyi gritted her teeth, looked at the huge crocodile in front of her, and fiercely thrust the dagger into the crocodile's eyes. Fearing that the force was not enough, she thrust it several times.

Tang Hao was a little surprised, but at this moment he felt relieved for the first time.

The green crocodile lost its breath, and a yellow soul ring slowly emerged.

"Sit cross-legged, meditate, and absorb your first soul ring."

Tang Qingyi listened to Tang Hao's words. She sat cross-legged and absorbed it. In an instant, she sank into it.

The power of the soul ring surged towards her like a stream of water, and the spiritual power within her, oh no, soul power, gradually immersed in the water of soul power.

She felt like she was in the sea, the cool feeling soaking her heart. Her book spirit glowed slightly blue, as if it had an extra weight. Although it was floating in the ocean, it did not get wet.

She slowly mobilized the soul power in her body and felt her meridians expanding. The barrier that had bound her before disappeared, and she successfully broke through the Qi Refining stage and reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

When Tang Qingyi slowly opened her eyes, half a day had passed. The sun had already set, and Tang Hao was roasting fish silently by the fire.

Tang Hao glanced at her and spoke casually. "You don't have to tell me what you have gained. Come and have dinner. I will take you to the town tomorrow. The rest of the journey is up to you."

Tang Qingyi took the grilled fish and didn't know what to say.

At night, Tang Qingyi lay in the tent, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She thought about everything that happened during the day, especially Tang Hao's care and teachings to her. In her impression, Tang Hao was indifferent, but Tang Hao was uncharacteristically caring for her to this extent, she couldn't understand.

The next morning, Tang Hao got up early and packed his luggage. Tang Qingyi also quietly packed her things and followed Tang Hao on the road to the town.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. Tang Qingyi felt grateful and reluctant, but she didn't know how to express it.

"Go in, there is still a long way to go." Tang Hao patted Tang Qingyi's shoulder, "I have many enemies outside, don't tell others who your father is, but remember, you will always be my child."

Tang Qingyi nodded, holding back tears. She took a deep breath and spoke. "Father, take care."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the town. Tang Hao watched her back disappear into the crowd, suppressed the last bit of reluctance in his heart, and turned to leave.

Tang Qingyi entered the town and realized how prosperous the outside world was. The streets were bustling with people, and small vendors lined up on both sides of the street, eagerly greeting passers-by.

Tang Qingyi walked and stopped here and there, but because she was short of money, she didn't buy anything.

She always remembered her original intention. Tang Qingyi walked up to a woman selling vegetables and used her only two remaining copper soul coins to get information. Tang Qingyi still remembered that the great soul master who awakened her martial soul came from the Wuhun Hall.

"Auntie, how do I get to the Spirit Hall?"

The old lady took the money and saw the thin Tang Qingyi. She immediately felt pity for her and enthusiastically asked her son to take her to the Spirit Hall.

The gate of the Spirit Hall was solemn and dignified, and there were people wearing armor guarding it. Tang Qingyi hesitated and did not go forward. A child like Tang Qingyi would probably be driven away as soon as he approached.

Tang Qingyi knew that the Spirit Hall was her only way out at the moment. For a child with no family background and no money, the best outcome would be to be taken in by the Spirit Hall, which specialized in training spirit masters.

Now she had two choices: one: make a big scene to attract the steward, but she would probably be beaten to death before that time came; two: wait and see for the steward of the Spirit Hall to come out. But she didn't know the steward, and she wasn't sure she could persuade him.

Is there no better way? Oh, right, soul master registration! The brother who just sent her here said that soul masters who have passed the certification of the Wuhun Hall can receive a sum of money every month.

Tang Qingyi decided to give it a try. She took small steps and walked to the guard at the entrance of the Spirit Hall. When the guard saw her approaching, he showed his weapon slightly.

"Stop, little kid, this is not a place you can just wander into."

Tang Qingyi took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and said, "I heard that I can receive subsidies if I come to the Spirit Hall to determine the level of my spirit master. My father asked me to give it a try."

When the guard heard this, a hint of envy flashed across his eyes, but when he saw her thin face and shabby clothes, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Your clothes don't look like you are a spirit master, how can you get a spirit ring? Go away and don't come to the Spirit Hall to cheat."

Tang Qingyi bit her lip and argued, "I can show you my martial spirit..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a strange and low voice.

"What's all the fuss here?"

Tang Qingyi looked towards the source of the voice. The person had a pale face and a strange black mist on his body. The oppressive feeling that could not be concealed was daunting. His cultivation was at least as good as Tang Hao's.

Tang Qingyi quickly lowered her head. This kind of person was definitely not a simple person and she couldn't just look at him casually.

The guards saw the man's attire and knew he was not someone they could mess with. "Sir, this kid lied about being a spirit master and wanted to sneak into the Spirit Hall. We stopped him."

The visitor glanced at the frail Tang Qingyi. How dare such a young child come to the Spirit Hall to cheat? But he didn't have time to deal with such a small matter here. He said "hmm" impatiently, and seemed to be in a hurry to leave.

Tang Qingyi didn't give herself time to hesitate, she rushed out and knelt down. This was her last chance and she had to seize it.

"Sir, please give me a chance to prove myself. I am really a spirit master and I want to join the Spirit Hall."

The man paused when he heard this, he frowned, and his voice sounded eerie and scary.

"I'll give you time to say a word. If you waste it, you'll have to pay with your life."
