Early the next morning, Su Xiao and Tang San went to Yu Xiaogang's office. Yu Xiaogang was not there. They learned from the other teachers that he had gone out before dawn to prepare something.
Su Xiao looked at the listless Tang San and asked, "Didn't sleep well last night?"
Tang San shook his head and sighed softly. "A Xiao, let's squeeze in together at night. Xiao Wu is a girl, after all."
"No." Su Xiao put on a look of disgust. "Xiao Wu likes you quite a bit. She even wants to acknowledge you as her older brother."
Tang San froze for a moment, then hurriedly changed the subject. "What does Teacher want with us?"
Before Su Xiao could answer, Yu Xiaogang's voice sounded from outside the window. "The carriage is ready. A Xiao, Xiao San, get on!"
Yu Xiaogang then took Su Xiao and Tang San by carriage toward the Soul Hunting Forest closest to Notting City.
During the journey, Yu Xiaogang took out a belt. "This is a Soul Tool. It has twenty-four jade pieces on it. As long as you infuse them with Soul Power, each jade piece has one cubic meter of storage space. This is the only presentable welcome gift I have. Discuss between yourselves who will wear it."
Su Xiao gave Tang San a look, signaling for him to accept it. After all, Tang San needed to carry hidden weapons with him.
Yu Xiaogang caught the subtle exchange between them and handed the belt to Tang San.
"Thank you, Teacher." Tang San did not refuse, accepting the belt respectfully with both hands.
Su Xiao helped Tang San fasten the belt and suggested, "Xiao San, give this Soul Tool a name."
Looking at the belt, Tang San recalled memories from his past life. "I want to call it Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night."
Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction. "A very elegant name."
After traveling for some time, the three arrived at the edge of the Soul Hunting Forest. They had not gone far when they were surrounded by a group of plant Soul Beasts, each about ten meters tall.
"Come out, Luo Sanpao!" Two hundred-year soul rings appeared beside Yu Xiaogang.
As Yu Xiaogang released his Soul Power, Luo Sanpao appeared before the plant Soul Beasts. Luo Sanpao bared his teeth with a fierce expression, no longer looking as cute as usual with his tongue hanging out.
First Soul Skill - Heaven-Shaking Earth-Splitting Luo Sanpao!
A halo of light emerged from Yu Xiaogang's soul rings and merged into Luo Sanpao's body.
Luo Sanpao trotted and leaped into the air, aiming his rear at the plant Soul Beasts. Then came a thunderous fart. Every one of the plant Soul Beasts collapsed, white soul rings floating above their bodies.
Yu Xiaogang then used the plant Soul Beasts as an example to explain Soul Beasts, soul rings, and soul skills to Su Xiao and Tang San.
"Teacher, how should Xiao San and I choose our first soul rings?" Su Xiao asked proactively.
Yu Xiaogang had long made his plans. As his disciples, Su Xiao and Tang San had to receive the very best.
"Su Xiao, your Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul evolved from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Therefore, for your first soul ring, a Light Attribute Sub-Dragon Soul Beast would be the most suitable. I have already asked someone to search for one. Once it is found, it will be personally escorted to Notting City."
"As for Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, if it is to become powerful, it needs to become tougher and gain the attribute most suitable for plants: poison!"
Tang San looked at his teacher in surprise and said quietly, "What a bold hypothesis, yet it is completely logical."
"I had people scout this place long ago. There is a 422-year-old Mandala Snake ahead, the most suitable first soul ring for Xiao San." Yu Xiaogang pointed into the distance.
"This is your first test. Sanpao will cooperate with you. Show me everything you have and take down that venomous snake."
