"That's right, my Martial Soul is a brain. I have a wise brain."

Taking advantage of being taller than Xiao Wu, Romantina tore down Zhou Qing and Tang San's task sheets before Xiao Wu noticed, then walked up to Alice. "Sister Alice, my Soul Power has already reached level ten. This time, I can go with them to hunt Soul Beasts. I'm really looking forward to becoming an official Soul Master."

"Can you do it?"

Tang San was somewhat doubtful. The other party was not even a Soul Master yet—what fighting ability could she have?

Besides, didn't one need to become a Soul Master before registering as an Adventurer? This girl had not obtained a Soul Ring, so she was only a Soul Scholar! Why had she become an Adventurer? Just because she was the Vice City Lord's daughter?

"You can't say that, little brother. I'm very experienced. You should know that in the Soul Hunting Forest, great strength isn't the key. What matters most is understanding the conditions in the forest. I'm an old hand." Romantina spoke with absolute confidence.

"Can you tell us why you want to take our task?" Zhou Qing felt that there was something off about her and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Because I need a Soul Ring too."

Romantina once again stated that her Soul Power Level had reached ten.

It was just that...

For some reason, Zhou Qing felt that this answer was not the crucial one.

No matter what, she was the daughter of Nuoding City's Vice City Lord. If she wanted to hunt Soul Beasts, couldn't she have her family help her? Did she need to come out and take on tasks herself?

Reaching level ten in cultivation...

She certainly could not compare to the geniuses in the original work, but Xiao Chenyu from the academy was only a level-eleven Soul Master.

In Nuoding City, Romantina's situation made her a genius!

The only reason people might look down on her was probably that Body Martial Souls had yet to awaken the talents that should have belonged to them in this era, causing them to be regarded as useless Martial Souls.

But no matter how useless it was, once she became a Soul Master, her actual status would rise. The Vice City Lord could not possibly neglect this daughter just because of her Martial Soul, could he?

Moreover, judging by Miss Alice's introduction, Romantina could defeat a level-twenty Soul Grandmaster with the wooden staff behind her back.

Though she was only from the Support System, she was still very formidable.

In Nuoding City, she could already be considered "high-end" combat power. There was no reason for the Vice City Lord to leave her to fend for herself, was there?

"You definitely have another reason, don't you?"

Zhou Qing had to get a clear answer.

"Um, mainly because I want to compete in strength with a Moo Spring Ox." As she spoke, Romantina's breathing became slightly hurried, and a faint blush inexplicably appeared on her cheeks.

Zhou Qing: "???"

This person—

Seemed!

Probably!

Possibly!

Was a masochist?

But Brain Martial Souls were simply too rare. Even in Douluo II or Douluo III, they were exceedingly scarce. Wanting to win her over, Zhou Qing ultimately agreed. "Alright, I agree."

"Why?" Xiao Wu refused to accept it, waving her hands. "We're classmates, okay?"

"She's older than you, and she should have more experience in the Soul Hunting Forest than you," Zhou Qing said.

"I agree with Qing Ge."

Tang San echoed him.

Originally, if he had to choose between Xiao Wu and Romantina, he would have chosen Xiao Wu.

After all, Xiao Wu had already become a Soul Master. Her Soul Power had broken through level ten and reached level eleven or even higher, and she had a Soul Skill as well. She should have been stronger.

But after Zhou Qing's reminder, he suddenly realized that Xiao Wu was only a little girl. She might even be some young miss who had run away from home, so her understanding of the Soul Beast Forest was surely that of a complete outsider.

Romantina was different. She was an Adventurer from the Nuoding Guild. Perhaps her identity as the Vice City Lord's daughter had allowed her to register as an Adventurer before becoming a Soul Master, but judging from the reactions of the other Adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild, she definitely had plenty of experience in the Soul Hunting Forest.

With her leading the way, their safety would certainly increase greatly.

Tang San also recalled matters from his previous life: in forests filled with poisonous insects and savage beasts, even experts whose Internal Energy had reached great mastery would not dare enter lightly. Yet villagers living near those forests could catch poisonous insects to play with, even as children.

Different lands nurtured different people.

Although Romantina's Soul Power was only level ten, the role she could play in the Soul Hunting Forest would probably be far greater than Xiao Wu's.

"Did you hear that? I have more experience than you!" Romantina waved the task sheet in her hand, raised her head and puffed out her chest, looking down with her firm, full breasts at Xiao Wu's washboard.

Xiao Wu seemed to sense the other party's gaze and hear another layer of meaning in her words. It was practically a personal attack, and she immediately cursed, "With all that experience, don't tell me someone trained you?"

"How dare you say that?!"

Romantina shouted loudly, her cheeks flushed red.

In the eyes of the other Adventurers, she had been angered. But Zhou Qing, who could see Romantina's expression up close, was certain that she was turned on.

Because those trembling eyes, like a startled deer, could not hide it!

Under Xiao Wu's verbal abuse, Romantina had already imagined herself being humiliated by Evil men.

That excitement fed back into her body, making her tense her shoulders, clamp her thighs together, and even tremble faintly all over.

Was this the effect of the Brain Martial Soul?

Zhou Qing suspected that Romantina had developed her Brain Martial Soul in the wrong direction.

Though it had given Romantina an exceptionally rich imagination, that imagination seemed to have gone off the rails. Before she had even obtained her First Spirit Ring, her original body had already been affected.

"She's still a virgin."

Although Tang San had been an old virgin in his previous life, he had learned from an elderly outer disciple of the Tang Sect how to determine whether a woman was still a virgin. He lowered his voice and whispered into Zhou Qing's ear, "So I suspect there might be something wrong with her brain. And now, I'm starting to doubt whether she's suitable for taking on our mission."

It was no wonder Tang San had begun to distrust her.

With Romantina acting like this, who knew whether she might suddenly get "excited" while hunting Soul Beasts and end up needing the two of them to save her?

Should they replace her?

Zhou Qing swept his gaze over the other Adventurers in Nuoding Guild and found that they were all busy with their own affairs—those eating were eating, and those drinking were drinking.

"Ah... no choice. It'll have to be her."

The other Adventurers in Nuoding Guild clearly had no intention of competing with Romantina for the mission. Perhaps they knew her personality was "abnormal," or perhaps they were giving face to the Vice City Lord of Nuoding City behind her.

"But Xiao Wu is coming too."

Zhou Qing felt that if they brought along this Hundred-Thousand-Year Shapeshifted Soul Beast, then should they encounter unavoidable danger, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast-level aura on her body ought to be enough to deter the Hundred-Year Soul Beasts in Soul Hunting Forest.

"The payment goes to me?" Xiao Wu glanced at Romantina, who was still "furious," and also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this person's brain. But she cared more about the matter of payment.

After all, in the human world—

Everything cost money!
