Chapter 16 The Hunt Begins (3)

After receiving the warrant, Lu Yuan bought sufficient dry food at Su Yuntao's suggestion.

However, since he didn't have a soul guide to store items like Tang San, he could only carry it with a small package, which made him very sad.

Sure enough, being a rich second generation means having a better start than being a farmer who starts with a bowl.

Then, Lu Yuan came to the Soul Hunting Forest outside Notting City.

The place outside the Soul Hunting Forest was extremely lively. Lu Yuan felt as if he had returned to the bustling market in the countryside in his previous life.

Outside the forest, a large number of houses, or shops, were built. Various shouts were heard one after another, and simple artificially paved paths crisscrossed the place. The noisy atmosphere made Lu Yuan quite curious.

"We have a warrant to form a team to hunt powerful soul beasts, there are still two people left."

"Hunting agile soul beasts, warrant for seven people. Ten gold soul coins."

Similar shouts came one after another, and most of the shops selling weapons, armor, and various food supplies.

Mainly those who shouted to form a group were quite lively. Not only did they shout loudly, but they also showed off their muscles from time to time, or directly exposed their martial arts souls and soul rings.

However, Lu Yuan took a look and found that almost all of the soul masters who requested to form a group were soul masters with only one soul ring, and they seemed to be quite old. They were all above eighteen or nineteen years old, and some were even in their twenties or thirties. Young people of many years.

That's right, if you are a talented soul master and can break through the tenth level soul power limit before the age of fifteen, you can basically join the soul master academy and ask the academy teachers to help hunt soul beasts.

These people seemed to be wild people who did not have the talent to practice on their own. They took many detours before being promoted to soul masters, and then embarked on the path of "mercenaries" who hunted soul beasts.

It has to be said that even these wild soul master mercenaries can make a lot of money by helping others hunt soul beasts. If you help hunt a soul beast once, you can get ten gold soul coins and divide them equally. People are quite envious.

Lu Yuan had no intention of finding these people at this time. Let alone money, he only had three Gintama coins on him. How could he afford to hire these mercenaries?

Theoretically, he could ask for help from the teachers at Notting College or Su Yuntao from Wuhun Palace, but he did not do so because...

Lu Yuan ignored the shouts around him and walked straight to the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest.

The height of the trees shows their age. There is a huge steel fence on the outside of the forest, with a large number of spikes exposed towards one side of the forest.

The fence is more than ten meters high and looks extremely solid.

That's not all. Outside the fence, a group of hundreds of soldiers were cruising there. These soldiers were all wearing fine iron full-body armor, holding long guns, and had a neat military appearance. Hundreds of steel warriors stood together, giving people a chilling feeling.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Lu Yuan showed his warrant to the guarding soldiers.

The soldier captain in charge of checking the warrant nodded immediately when he saw the warrant. However, looking at Lu Yuan's young body, he couldn't help but said, "Are you here to hunt soul beasts?"

"Well, yes, I have reached the soul power of a promoted soul master and come to hunt soul beasts." Lu Yuan nodded and said.

"It's too dangerous for you to do this. As a child, it will be very dangerous for you to enter the Soul Hunting Forest." The captain immediately frowned and said, "My suggestion is that you either go back and ask your elders or teachers for help, or you can find someone nearby. of these guys.”

He pursed his lips to signal the mercenaries who were shouting.

"No, thank you uncle for reminding me, but I believe in myself." Lu Yuan looked at the jagged soul master mercenaries outside and said, shaking his head.

"Alas..." The captain could only look at him helplessly when faced with the token, and then motioned for the soldiers to let him go.

Lu Yuan nodded his thanks, then dodged and ran into the Soul Hunting Forest.

"Another overly arrogant soul master child." The captain sighed when he looked at Lu Yuan, and then said.

Then he returned to his original appearance when he was guarding the forest.

…

The moment he entered the Soul Hunting Forest, Lu Yuan quickly activated his martial spirit.

“God’s will is the supreme authority!”

Three rays of blue, purple, and gold light condensed in Lu Yuan's hand, and a huge scythe suddenly appeared. The powerful intimidating power of the Death Star Demon Scythe shocked the small spirit beasts around Lu Yuan, and they hurriedly scattered. escape.

Lu Yuan had no intention of doing anything to these little soul beasts, and he didn't know much about soul beasts, but he had already made a plan before this.

Go to the deepest part of the Soul Hunting Forest!

The Soul Hunting Forest is a place where the Tiandou Empire keeps soul beasts in captivity, and most of the soul beasts hunted by the soul masters in this forest are ten years old and a hundred years old. Thousand-year-old soul beasts rarely appear.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan plans to enter the deepest part of the Soul Hunting Forest, because only there can there be soul beasts that are close to a thousand years old!

That's right, his plan this time is to absorb a soul beast that is close to a thousand years old as his first soul ring.

"I will always watch..."

The next moment, Lu Yuan wielded the Death Star Scythe again, and a dark blue shadow force instantly enveloped his body. Then as soon as he approached a tree next to him, his body instantly hid among the trees. Among them, there was only a faint blue figure on the trees.

"Shadow Step" is an E skill owned by Kaiyin of Shadow Stream. It allows Lu Yuan to walk directly inside dead objects such as walls and trees after being activated. It can also increase his healing when he first activates Shadow Step. Ability, but it consumes soul power. How long he can use Glimpse Step and how quickly he heals his injuries all depend on the consumption of soul power.

According to Lu Yuan's feeling, he can use the Glimpse Step for about fifteen minutes at his maximum. After continuous use, his soul power will be exhausted.

As for the healing ability, he has tried it himself. A slight cut will heal within a few seconds after activating the Shadow Step, which consumes about 30% of the soul power.

If it was a more serious injury... Lu Yuan felt that if it was a serious injury like a fracture or a large burn, it would take all the soul power to be exhausted before he could recover to an uninjured state.

This was the result of Lu Yuan's experiment with his three martial arts in those nights. Not only was he able to use the skill Glimpse Step, he could even use all the abilities of the three martial arts in the game, including the so-called ultimate move.

Originally, Lu Yuan thought that those skills would be turned into his soul skills one by one before he could use them until he obtained the soul ring.

But that's not the case. Even if he doesn't obtain any soul ring, he can use the skills in the game corresponding to each martial soul.

Only later did Lu Yuan finally understand why.

Because these skills are different from soul skills and soul rings, soul rings and soul skills are things that can only be born when the cultivation and abilities of plundering soul beasts are given to the soul master.

But the skills he can use are different, they are part of the power that originally belongs to the martial spirit.

Just like the fire dragon spirit can use flames, the ax spirit can chop wood, and the bird spirit can fly, these are the abilities of the spirit itself and can be displayed without the use of spirit rings or soul skills.

As for Lu Yuan's skills, such as Shadow Step, they originally came from the power of the Shadow Stream of "Odyssey Kayn". Lu Yuan could be given such abilities as long as he wanted.

The same is true for several other skills. The giant scythe sweeps, the sharp blade pierces, and even the split shadow are all part of the power of his martial soul.

It can be used without any soul ring or soul skills.

In other words, Lu Yuan now seems to be a little soul warrior without a soul ring or soul skill, but in fact he is a soul warrior with at least twelve active skills.

Not to mention anything else, in a world like Douluo Continent where one more soul skill can lead to a huge lead, Lu Yuan is directly ahead. Not to mention ordinary soul masters with more than ten levels of soul power, even ordinary great soul masters with level 20 souls might suffer in front of Lu Yuan.
