Chapter 28 King-level Bloodline Soul Beast
"Here we go again." Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. He really thought Gangzi had changed his ways, but it turned out he was still spouting nonsense theories as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Little San, this bamboo is already over a meter tall. It's clearly a plant spirit beast that's over ten years old. The bamboo's toughness goes without saying. It's perfect for your spirit, Blue Silver Grass."
Xiao Yan felt ashamed. He and Tang San silently went up to examine the bamboo. It was indeed not easy for a single bamboo to stand here and grow to more than a meter long.
Why is it that no matter how much I say, Gangzi just won't get it and is still fixated on that lone bamboo?
"Master, you yourself said that this bamboo is only a dozen years old. Then let me ask you, in the ten core competencies of your self-compiled (independently integrated) martial soul, what is the age of the first soul ring?"
"432 years? What's wrong? Didn't I just mention that to Xiao San in the carriage earlier? I was worried that the age limit of the spirit rings was too high, and Xiao San wouldn't be able to handle it."
"Since Master is so considerate of Xiao San, may I ask what the age of your first spirit ring is?" In fact, Xiao Yan knew the answer to this question. Not to mention that he had a backer, he already knew Gangzi's age. After Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao, two yellow spirit rings had been floating on his body.
"A hundred-year-old soul ring? I asked someone to hunt it for me in order to try to break through the upper limit of the Three Cannons. At our current level, hunting a hundred-year-old soul ring is too difficult."
"Barely? Does Master mean it's a bit of a stretch for you to do it?" The rolling beast on Xiao Yan's head didn't speak, but its eyes were full of disdain as it looked at Yu Xiaogang.
It should be noted that even a Soul Master like Yong Ge dared to fight against a hundred-year-old Soul Beast for Xiao Yan, while Yu Xiaogang, a Great Soul Master, was still timid and hesitant when faced with a hundred-year-old Soul Beast.
"Otherwise, what's wrong with a hundred-year-old soul beast? It's extremely dangerous. I'm not even confident I can protect you from its attack. Why not just kill this Gu Zhu and get a ten-year soul ring? Besides, it's still dawn when we go back now."
Yu Xiaogang came along with the purpose of taking on disciples and showing off, and if he was lucky, he could study Xiao Yan's martial soul. He couldn't bring himself to risk his life for these little brats by finding a hundred-year-old soul beast.
"This time limit is too short. When choosing a spirit ring, we must prioritize the spirit beast's grade and its age. Master, aren't you delaying my brother's progress by doing this?"
"The Blue Silver Grass's resilience you wanted is perfectly matched by the Lone Bamboo. Is there anything else you're not satisfied with? Besides, this Lone Bamboo isn't poisonous, so it doesn't contradict the vitality you've been talking about, right?" Gangzi didn't seem to be trying to find a suitable spirit ring for Tang San at this moment; it was more like he was challenging the two of them.
In short, whether you listen to me or not, you have to absorb this Guzhu.
"Resilience is only one aspect. No matter how resilient a plant is, it cannot guarantee that it can resist a sharp sword or absolute power. Only when resilience and vitality complement each other can the advantages of Blue Silver Grass be fully utilized." In fact, Xiao Yan had considered the option of Lone Bamboo, but the ten-year-old one that Gangzi pointed to was really too shabby.
"Xiao Yan, I've put up with you for a long time. Do you think that just because I'm not a teacher at Notting Academy, I have no right to criticize you? I am a Grandmaster, a Grandmaster famous throughout the entire continent. In that case, you two can go on this hunt for spirit rings yourselves. I'm not going to accompany you."
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he crossed his arms over his chest. Seeing his master throwing such a tantrum, Luo Sanpao quickly moved closer and licked Yu Xiaogang's hand with his tiny tongue.
Yu Xiaogang quickly pulled his hand away, revealing a look of disgust. He was just taking advantage of Luo Sanpao's lack of a neck, which prevented him from seeing.
He said these words deliberately, just to dampen the arrogance of these two children. He didn't necessarily need Guzhu, but he wanted absolute obedience. His theory, Yu Xiaogang's theory, couldn't be wrong; the problem was his martial spirit...
"Since the master finds us both a burden, then Xiao Yan will take his leave." Xiao Yan cupped his hands in farewell. He was just looking for a reason to get rid of this fly, otherwise, listening to his buzzing all the way would have driven him crazy.
Xiao Yan placed all the bags of radishes from the Twenty-Four Grottoes on the open ground.
Upon seeing it, Luo Sanpao immediately wagged his little tail excitedly and rushed over to nibble on it.
Tang San followed Xiao Yan's example, bowing to the master before leaving.
"Hey, you lot, come back here! Without me, a Grand Soul Master, you wouldn't even be able to handle a ten-year-old Soul Beast in this Soul Hunting Forest, let alone last a hundred years!"
But the two boys had already disappeared from Yu Xiaogang's sight in a flash. He cursed under his breath, and in a fit of anger, he went up and kicked Luo Sanpao, who was eating. As a result, Luo Sanpao was unharmed and remained standing in place, while Yu Xiaogang's foot hurt a bit.
"You piece of trash! If it weren't for you, would I have achieved this? If I also had innate full soul power, I might already be a Soul Saint."
Luo Sanpao naturally understood what Yu Xiaogang was saying, and made a particularly aggrieved whimpering sound from his throat.
"Two bastard children, born of a mother, but without a father to care for them."
This statement wasn't entirely unfounded. He had carefully reviewed Tang San and Xiao Yan's information, and besides, neither of these two impolite kids had their parents with them on the first day of school. Yu Xiaogang vented his anger in one go.
He was thankful that these words hadn't reached Tang San's ears, otherwise it would have definitely been a fight to the death. Besides, this was the Soul Hunting Forest. With any excuse, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang could have been attacked by a soul beast and died here. Who would doubt that? After all, Tang San and Xiao Yan were soul masters with innate full soul power who were seen as gentle and kind by outsiders.
At most, Bibi Dong might turn the entire Soul Hunting Forest upside down to vent her anger for her lover Gangzi, but no one would hold it against them.
A living person is much more useful than a dead one.
Although Tang San didn't hear Yu Xiaogang's words, someone else did.
An aura of anger struck Yu Xiaogang directly in the face, and Luo Sanpao, who was standing next to him, was so frightened that he fainted. In an instant, Yu Xiaogang felt his soul power rapidly draining away.
He trembled and could not stand up. His legs lost their ability to support him and went limp. This feeling was something he had never experienced in his more than fifty years of life. The air was filled with the smell of killing.
The birds and beasts in the forest scattered under this oppressive force, and despite it being autumn, Yu Xiaogang was soaked in sweat.
Yu Xiaogang didn't know how long this murderous aura had enveloped him. He collapsed helplessly to the ground. Fortunately, this was the outer perimeter, and apart from the soul beast lying with him, there was no other danger.
"Phew, how is this possible? This is the Soul Hunting Forest, isn't it? That murderous aura just now, it must be a soul beast with a king-level bloodline, why would it appear in this forest?"
But I'm still alive. Could it be that this king beast had a short lifespan?
I must go find the guard at the gate.
"No, no, even if it's only a hundred years old, they definitely can't handle a King-level Soul Beast. I need to find the Spirit Hall's enforcement team stationed here."
Yu Xiaogang shakily got up, and after a long while in a daze, his legs finally obeyed him. He pulled back Luo Sanpao, who was rolling his eyes, and limped out of the forest.
