Chapter 20 Hiring the Soul Sect Team

The whale hunting conference is over, and the last batch of whale oil has been shipped out of Whale Hunting City. The last two batches failed to produce a piece of whale glue, which made Cheng Xiao feel quite regretful.

But it only took a while for Cheng Xiao to adjust his mentality.

Three pieces of whale glue increased the upper limit of his soul ring by 1,500 years, which was enough. Any more would be too greedy.

After Cheng Xiao showed his talent, there were still some voices of opposition in his family. They were worried that if Cheng Xiao was killed by the soul beast before he grew up, wouldn't all the investment be in vain?

Fortunately, Cheng Yu was the mediator and persuaded the rest of the family to risk all their money on Cheng Xiao.

The Cheng family quietly mortgaged their property through various means, loaned back a large sum of gold soul coins, and together with most of the family's working capital, finally invited a team of soul sects.

The highest level of this team is forty-seven, and the lowest is forty-two, with all four systems including control, power attack, agility and auxiliary. In terms of configuration, it is not a bad team.

"My name is Dai Chong, the captain of this team, the forty-seventh level War Soul Sect." A sturdy man stepped forward and introduced.

"I am……"

Everyone was introduced one by one. After Cheng Xiao got to know everyone, Cheng Xiao introduced himself: "Everyone, my name is Cheng Xiao. My mission this time is to help me complete an academy inspection. I need you to hunt various types of spirit beasts. Seven in total.”

Cheng Xiao disguised this mission as a theoretical research investigation in the academy. In order to obtain the admission notice of the Advanced Soul Master Academy, Cheng Xiao needed a good enough resume, so he hired this Soul Sect team.

This reason makes sense. Not all students in the Advanced Soul Master Academy are soul masters who are full of muscles. There are also students who are dedicated to theory, but these students are more discriminated against and not welcomed.

Just like Tiandou Royal Academy, except for the talented students who can compete for the first and second teams of Tiandou, most of them are not very good. Some are admitted by virtue of their noble status, and some are recruited by the academy based on their excellent theoretical performance. .

If the academy only needs to fight soul masters, is it still necessary to exist? It would be more appropriate to change the name to Zongmen.

Dai Chong and others only thought that the students in front of them were not very talented in cultivation and wanted to pursue theoretical research, so they were specially recruited by the Advanced Soul Master Academy. They did not doubt it.

"According to the mission requirements, you don't have to worry about saving the last breath of the soul beast. You only need to kill the soul beast as soon as possible. But after killing it, you must retreat from the guard and let me collect its blood and other operations. You are not allowed to watch. .”

Cheng Xiao's purpose is not to absorb the soul ring, but to obtain the shadow of the soul beast, so he does not care about the ownership of the soul ring. After he obtains enough shadows, he can try to hunt the soul beasts by himself without having to rely on the help of others.

"No problem. It's just that according to the requirements on this sheet, there are at least seven soul beasts that are two to three thousand years old, and the types of soul beasts are also specified. The price is quite high. I wonder if you are ready?" Dai Chong dusted off the things in his hands. Task list, but looked at Cheng Yu behind Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Yu took out a purple card and placed it on the table in front of everyone: "50% of the mission reward, and the remaining 50% will be distributed to you through the Wuhun Palace Commission Office after the completion."

The moment they saw the purple card, Dai Chong and others' eyes began to light up, and they put the card away without any hesitation: "When will we set off?"

"Today!"

Cheng Xiao didn't want to delay any longer and wanted to leave immediately.

Dai Chong and others looked at each other and nodded in agreement: "We have no problem."

Immediately, everyone made preparations, and then the seven-member Soul Sect team took Cheng Xiao and prepared to set off.

"Be careful." Before leaving, Cheng Yu's face was solemn, and he couldn't see any relief. He knew the danger of a soul master. He might go out standing upright today and come back sideways tomorrow.

"Um."

The eight people set off and looked at the figure that gradually disappeared from sight. Cheng Yu's eyes gradually lost focus and his lips pursed. After a while, a slight voice came out.

"Hope everything goes well..."

——

The night was filled with stars. Outside the quiet Star Forest, eight people gathered around a bonfire and talked about the arrangements for tomorrow.

"The first soul beast...the Vajra Tiger?"

After hearing Cheng Xiao's goal, Dai Chong couldn't help but take a breath and grinned: "Brother, it's really hard to earn soul coins."

The Vajra Tiger is considered the overlord among the soul beasts, and its strength, attack power, and defense are also ranked among the soul beasts. What's more, what Cheng Xiao wants is a two-thousand-year-old Vajra Tiger. Even their team is careless. There may be casualties next time.

"Hey, otherwise how could I spend so much money to treat you?" Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

Dai Chong scratched his itchy scalp: "Tsk, it's hard to do..."

"What? Are you going to give up this commission?" Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"That's not true. The Vajra Tiger likes to live alone, and its whereabouts are difficult to determine. It is not easy to find it." Vice-captain Yang Lie explained: "We mercenaries do have some rough activity area maps of the spirit beasts. If you want to Hunting the Vajra Tiger requires a long time of preparation. The danger will be greatly increased."

Generally speaking, most of the people who obtain soul rings start directly when they encounter a soul beast of the right age and with the right attributes. It is rare to directly specify a soul beast, which will consume a lot of time.

And staying in the Star Dou Forest for a long time will greatly increase the risk.

Large sects generally don't worry about these problems. If they are led by elders above Soul Douluo, they don't have to worry too much even if they stay in the Star Dou Forest for a month or two, unless they encounter a hundred thousand year soul beast.

Then again, how many hundred thousand year soul beasts are there in the Star Dou Forest? Where is it so easy to meet? If you really encounter it, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

And they were just a Soul Sect team, obviously they didn't have the confidence to wander around the Star Dou Forest for a long time.

"That's it..." Cheng Xiao pondered for a long time. It seemed that he couldn't do this, so he changed his mind.

"I have these goals. You can consider how to make them faster and more convenient."

So, Cheng Xiao told them his choice ideas.

"The first one's attack power must be strong enough, at least to be worthy of the title; the second one's defense power must be high enough; the third one's speed must be fast enough, and its damage cannot be too low; the fourth one's must be strong in all aspects. Balanced enough…”

Cheng Xiao's choice covers attack, defense, speed, endurance, control, etc.

Even if the shadow soul beast team formed in this way is weaker than before, it can still defeat stronger enemies or soul beasts with perfect enough cooperation.

If you really can't defeat the enemy, you can rely on his soul power supply to infinitely resurrect and consume the opponent to death.

Under the dark night, Cheng Xiao's clear eyes shone with an indescribable light. His shadow team was finally taking shape!
