The Taste of Freedom

Before she had fully confirmed Su Yu's identity, Xiao Wu had no intention of being honest with him.

"Phew." Su Yu opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"That felt good. Time really flies when cultivating!" Su Yu looked at the crescent moon outside the window and could not help smiling, only to suddenly freeze.

Looking at Xiao Wu, who lay beside him sound asleep and occasionally twisted around, Su Yu could not help but smile.

Xiao Wu's sleeping posture was really wild. Those little feet of hers were practically about to kick him.

"Hehe, what a cute girl. Though her brain seems a little lacking."

Su Yu shook his head. Even when he had read the original novel, he had felt that Xiao Wu was not very bright.

You were a hundred-thousand-year-old little rabbit. After becoming human, not only did you fail to hide somewhere safe, you even followed Tang San around causing trouble every day.

Tang San had a Titled Douluo father protecting him. What did Xiao Wu have? If Tang Hao had even the slightest ill intent, Xiao Wu would probably have been skinned and had her bones dug out, perhaps even turned into spicy rabbit head.

She was so young, yet her brain already did not work very well. Su Yu shook his head. Although this girl was a little lacking upstairs, she was still good to her friends.

It was fine for him to be friends with her.

Su Yu moved Xiao Wu's leg into place, then lay down on the bed, pulled up the blanket, and closed his eyes.

"Hey, hey, Yu Ge, Yu Ge, wake up. It's time to eat." Su Yu groggily opened his eyes, then instantly snapped awake and threw a punch.

His fist landed squarely on Wang Sheng's big face, sending Wang Sheng flying with a single blow.

"Yu Ge, what are you doing? I was only waking you up, okay?" Wang Sheng said aggrievedly, rubbing the side of his face that Su Yu had punched swollen.

"Ahem, it's nothing. I opened my eyes, saw that face of yours, and got startled. All right, I'll treat you guys to a meal." Su Yu shook his head and casually took out a Silver Soul Coin, pressing it into Wang Sheng's hand.

"Yu Ge, aren't you coming to eat? With one Silver Soul Coin, we can even have meat."

Su Yu shook his head. He had obtained a Barrett yesterday. Today, he planned to acquire a Soul Ring.

The combat power of Douluo Continent was not actually that strong. The Barrett's power should be enough to handle Soul Beasts below a thousand years. If not, he could always use the pills Hei Da Wu had refined.

Su Yu refused to believe that Soul Beasts would remain so vigilant at a time like that.

"I'm not going. Wang Sheng, you guys go ahead. I have something to do today." Su Yu nodded at Wang Sheng with a smile.

Hearing Su Yu's words, Wang Sheng did not say anything else. They were all future Soul Masters. They had been taught from the moment they entered the academy not to pry too deeply into other people's affairs.

"All right, Yu Ge. Then I'll go with the brothers. If you need anything, just call out." With that, Wang Sheng left with his group of lackeys.

Watching Wang Sheng, Su Yu could not help feeling speechless. He did not know why, but whenever he looked at Wang Sheng, he always got the feeling of a gang boss leading his underlings around to collect protection money.

Su Yu tidied himself up, then walked straight out of the academy.

Notting City Spirit Hall

"Little Su Yu, if you want to buy a token, I can't make that decision. But if you give me one Gold Soul Coin, I can lend you my token for half a month. Don't think it's expensive. This is the price no matter where you go."

Su Yuntao looked at the child before him and spoke helplessly.

"All right, Tao Ge, thank you. Here's the money." Su Yu took a Gold Soul Coin from his system storage and handed it to Su Yuntao.

Su Yuntao accepted the Gold Soul Coin without saying anything, then directly pulled out a token from his pocket and handed it to Su Yu.

"Thanks, Tao Ge. I'll definitely return it in half a month."

Su Yu knew Su Yuntao probably was not cheating him, and one Gold Soul Coin really meant nothing to him now.

"No need to thank me. Be careful."

Su Yu smiled at Su Yuntao, feeling a little emotional inside.

There really are more good people than bad. Though this Su Yuntao's judgment is terrible, at least he has a kind heart. Tang San really went too far by slaughtering the lower ranks of Spirit Hall.

Su Yu walked out of the Notting City Spirit Hall branch and headed directly toward the place where carriages were rented in Notting City.

"Uncle, how much to go to the Soul Hunting Forest?" Su Yu approached one of the carriages outside the academy gates and asked the elderly driver atop it.

"Eight Silver Soul Coins. No haggling!" When the old man saw that Su Yu was only a child, the expectant expression on his face immediately fell.

Su Yu thought for a moment, then took several Silver Soul Coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man.

"Mm, boss, let's go." Su Yu jumped into the carriage and smiled at the old man, who was still staring blankly.

"Ah, all right, young boss. Sit tight, we're off. Hyah!" Coming back to his senses, the old man looked at the Silver Soul Coins in his hand and nodded at Su Yu.

He immediately drove the carriage toward the Soul Hunting Forest, hundreds of li away.

The old man was a skilled driver, and they reached the Soul Hunting Forest in a little over half a day.

"Young boss, we're here. I'll be heading back now. If there's anywhere you want to go in the future, you can come find me, Lao Wang. My carriage is both steady and fast."

After seeing Su Yu jump down from the carriage, the old man smiled as he spoke.

"All right, Lao Wang, don't worry. I'll definitely bring you more business in the future. Take it slow on your way back." Su Yu smiled, then walked toward the Soul Hunting Forest.

Looking at the small groups constantly calling out around him, Su Yu found it rather novel.

This was a feature of Douluo Continent. What other fantasy world had groups like this? Everyone there put themselves first.

Only a world like Douluo Continent had the concept of teams. Still, Su Yu did not care much for teams. True strength always came from oneself.

Even Tang San in the later stages of Douluo Continent was like that. Without Tang San, would the Shrek Seven Devils truly have been remembered by the continent? That was impossible.

If Tang San had not become the Sea God through cheats later on, the continent would likely have long been conquered by Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.

"Stop right there!" Su Yu had barely reached the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest when he was stopped.

Without hesitation, Su Yu directly handed his token to the guard.

"All right, kid, go in. Be careful once you're inside. If you can't handle something, hurry back."

After saying that, the guard ignored Su Yu. Su Yu nodded and smiled at him.

Then he stepped directly into the Soul Hunting Forest. Looking at the lush trees around him, Su Yu could not help taking a deep breath.

"Ah, that feels good. Is this the smell of freedom? I definitely couldn't have smelled it in my previous life. Though this smell of freedom is a little stinky."

Then Su Yu saw a yellowish pile of something not far away.

"Uh, this is really awkward!"
