Arrival at Soul Hunting Forest!

Hearing this, Long Yun was filled with shock. The system was far too powerful, able to create a person out of thin air! But on second thought, it was still acceptable. After all, it was a system.

Then I'm really looking forward to drawing a Titled Douluo from the first Douluo world. I wonder how they'd react if they one day saw someone with the exact same Soul Power Level and martial soul as themselves, Long Yun thought.

If he drew Tang Hao, that would be interesting. How would Tang Hao feel when he saw someone wielding a Clear Sky Hammer against him? Would he think the Clear Sky Sect had sent someone to kill him? Long Yun was truly looking forward to that scene.

I just hope I don't draw Teacher! Long Yun secretly thought.

The Soul Hunting Forest outside Spirit City was roughly two hundred kilometers away. With the carriage carrying Long Yun and the others traveling at full speed, they reached the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest in just over four hours.

The Soul Hunting Forest was an artificial forest, so massive walls had been built around its perimeter to prevent the soul beasts within from escaping and endangering ordinary people outside.

The wall stood thirty meters tall and was about five meters thick. Combined with special construction materials, it was extraordinarily sturdy. Thousand-year soul beasts simply could not break through it. At the forest entrance stood a metal gate, surrounded by many Spirit Hall knights clad in armor. Each of them emitted fairly strong Soul Power fluctuations, making it clear that they possessed considerable cultivation.

"So this is the Soul Hunting Forest? The walls look even better than those ancient city walls!" Long Yun was also shocked by the enormous wall. He secretly compared it to ancient architecture and found that even the walls around ancient capitals seemed inferior to this wall built to enclose a forest.

This made Long Yun understand even more clearly how different Douluo Continent was from his previous life. A world with a cultivation system really is different, he sighed inwardly.

"Hehe, how is it? Does this place feel familiar?" Yue Guan teased when he saw Long Yun's surprised expression. He had heard how Long Yun had been brought back to Spirit Hall by Your Holiness the Pope.

"Uh..." Long Yun's mouth twitched. Why did this man always bring up the one thing he should not? Wasn't this rubbing salt in his wounds?

You're a big shot. I won't argue with you right now! Long Yun thought. Though he was now the Pope's disciple, Yue Guan was still an elder. Yue Guan had merely teased him a little; he could hardly go complain to his teacher. That would be ridiculous. He was not an elementary school student anymore.

Long Yun chose to ignore Yue Guan's teasing and changed the subject. "Chrysanthemum Elder, let's go in quickly!" Obtaining his soul ring was more important right now. Long Yun could barely wait. During the several hours of travel, he had constantly been thinking about soul rings and had wished the carriage could fly straight to the Soul Hunting Forest.

"You really are impatient, kid. Then follow me. But once we enter the Soul Hunting Forest, don't run around recklessly. Stay by my side. That's the safest way, understand?" Yue Guan instructed.

"Mm, I understand!" Long Yun nodded quickly. He had experienced the dangers inside before, so naturally he would not foolishly run around on his own.

"Let's go!" Yue Guan led Long Yun toward the gate. As soon as the guards saw the elder's token in Yue Guan's hand, they immediately knelt in salute and opened the gate for the two of them.

The moment he passed through the gate, a dense forest appeared before Long Yun's eyes. The towering trees seemed to pierce the clouds when he looked up. The air within the forest carried the scent of grass and ancient trees, and was slightly damp. The fresher air compared to the outside world made Long Yun almost lose himself in it.

I've returned to the place where I came from, Long Yun sighed inwardly.

"Let's head in. We still need to find the soul beast you need," Yue Guan said.

"Mm."

"Chrysanthemum Elder, what kind of soul beast are we hunting this time? Can you tell me?" Long Yun asked casually.

"Your Holiness the Pope has already planned it out for you and listed several soul beasts that are very suitable for you. As for which one we encounter, that will depend on our luck."

"But the soul beasts you need really surprised me, kid. They are all at least top-tier soul beasts, and even among top-tier soul beasts, they are exceptionally powerful. If you can absorb their soul rings, the improvement they bring you will definitely be enormous," Yue Guan said with some emotion.

"Hehe, when absorbing soul rings, the higher the quality of the soul beast, the better!" Long Yun chuckled.

"You really dare to dream. The higher the quality, the better? Do you think high-quality soul beasts are that easy to encounter? The higher a soul beast's quality, the rarer it is, which means it is harder to find. Sometimes, you might wander through a forest for one or two months without finding a single one. Just imagine how difficult it is to obtain a high-quality soul ring." Yue Guan rolled his eyes at Long Yun.

This kid really thought high-quality soul beasts were cabbages, available whenever he wanted them. What was he thinking?

Long Yun said nothing and could only smile awkwardly. He knew high-quality soul beasts were extremely rare and could only be encountered by luck, not forced. But no matter how difficult it was, he had to try his best to find them. This concerned his future cultivation as a soul master. With these high-quality soul rings, his path would surely be much smoother.

Seeing Long Yun's expression, Yue Guan stopped mocking him. "Still, your luck is fairly good. The soul beasts you need for your first and second soul rings can be found in this Soul Hunting Forest."

"Really?" Long Yun's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Yue Guan expectantly.

"Of course it's true. The Soul Hunting Forest outside Spirit City is considered one of the best Soul Hunting Forests on the continent. After years of accumulation, the variety of soul beasts inside has become extremely abundant. Basically, eighty percent of the soul beast species in Star Dou Great Forest can also be found here."

"There are even several Super Soul Beasts here, and among them are soul beasts suitable to become your soul rings." A faint smile appeared on Yue Guan's effeminate face.

"Great!" Long Yun said excitedly. "Then Chrysanthemum Elder, hurry and take me there! Let's not walk. Aren't you a Titled Douluo? Just fly me over directly!"

He had originally wanted to walk and take in the scenery of the forest, but the moment he heard about Super Soul Beasts, Long Yun no longer had any interest in scenery. How could scenery compare to Super Soul Beasts?

"You really are impatient! Look how excited you got just from hearing about Super Soul Beasts. Don't you know how to be steady?" Yue Guan said with amusement.

"I understand. I'll be more composed." Long Yun restrained his excitement, rubbed his face, and calmed himself down. "Then, Chrysanthemum Elder, take me there now." Long Yun spoke with a serious expression, though a trace of urgency remained in his eyes.

Yue Guan's eyelid twitched as he watched Long Yun change expressions so quickly. He did not know what to say. "Walking slowly like this really does waste time, so I'll fly you over."

Long Yun had just begun to smile upon hearing that, but it was quickly replaced by panic. The moment Yue Guan finished speaking, he wrapped Long Yun in Soul Power and flew toward the depths of the forest, streaking across the sky like a beam of light.

"Ah!"

Long Yun was startled by the sudden ascent and cried out, "Chrysanthemum Elder, slow down! It's my first time being carried through the air like this!" The fierce wind from their rapid flight made it hard for him to breathe, and even his words came out unevenly.

Hearing Long Yun's cries, Yue Guan slowed down. "Haha, I forgot that you can't adapt to this speed yet," Yue Guan said with a laugh.

Though he had not been flying at full speed just now, he had still been moving at nearly half his maximum speed. Even many Soul Ancestors would struggle with such speed, let alone someone who had yet to obtain a soul ring. This had indeed been his oversight.

"Huff, huff!" Once Yue Guan slowed down, Long Yun finally felt much better and could breathe properly again.

"Are you all right?" Yue Guan asked with a hint of apology.

What do you think? Try standing in my position and see whether you throw up or not! Long Yun grumbled inwardly. If he had not forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit, he might have already thrown up.
