Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, Sun Sheng wandered among the many soul masters, hoping to find a suitable team.
But after a full round, he found no team that would take him.
The teams recruiting soul masters all required at least a two-ring Soul Grand Master cultivation.
With his current Soul Power Level, he simply couldn't find one.
Left with no choice, he had to take the initiative, swallowing his pride to seek out a strong team willing to accept him.
In the end, he approached a team with decent overall strength.
"Big brother, could I join your team?"
Sun Sheng walked straight up to a man and asked.
The man was burly, clearly a powerful assault-type battle soul master.
The burly man glanced at Sun Sheng, saw how young he was, and immediately refused. "Where'd you come from, kid? Get lost."
Though the man's tone was blunt and firm, there was no contempt in it.
Seemed like he had decent character.
Sun Sheng didn't get angry. Instead, he spoke more respectfully. "Big brother, don't judge me by my age. My cultivation isn't weak."
"Heh, not weak? Kid, go on then, tell me—what's your Soul Power Level?"
At that moment, a sharp-faced middle-aged man walked over, his face full of disdain.
Sun Sheng frowned at the sight of him but replied, "Level 20 soul master."
"Hahahaha! Level 20 soul master? A snot-nosed brat like you? Go home and cry to your mommy."
The sharp-faced man threw his head back and laughed, his words dripping with contempt.
"Old Li!"
The burly man frowned slightly and gave a quiet reprimand.
Clearly, the sharp-faced man's attitude rubbed him the wrong way.
"Kid, you'd better leave now. The Star Dou Great Forest isn't a place for you."
Then the burly man turned to Sun Sheng and spoke firmly.
"Thank you for your kind words, big brother."
Knowing they wouldn't take him, Sun Sheng shot a cold glance at the sharp-faced man and withdrew.
The sharp-faced man caught Sun Sheng's icy gaze and felt the urge to teach him a lesson.
"Hey, that brat's got no respect. Let me show him what's what."
"Old Li, don't. The kid's having a hard enough time."
The burly man stopped him, and the sharp-faced man had no choice but to let it go.
The earlier failure didn't make Sun Sheng give up. He went from team to team, asking.
But without exception, no team was willing to take him in.
Some teams even openly insulted and mocked him when they saw his first spirit ring was a White Spirit Ring.
The taunts piled up, filling Sun Sheng with rage until he nearly threw a punch.
What's so great about you? You've just trained a few more years than me.
Fine. I'll go into the Star Dou Great Forest alone, hunt down a thousand-year Soul Beast, and then you'll all see.
Just as he was about to give up and go solo, two men and a woman suddenly appeared, drawing the attention of every soul master present.
Many of them stared lecherously at the stunning beauty in the center.
She had orange-yellow hair, a nearly perfect figure, and an irresistible allure that radiated from her from time to time, stirring impure thoughts in anyone who looked.
To her left stood a tall, sinister-looking man whose features bore some resemblance to hers.
To her right was a man with red hair, somewhat handsome, with a flamboyant air, clad in red-black armor.
When Sun Sheng saw the trio, his heart jolted, and a wild grin spread across his face.
Wasn't this Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—the so-called Golden Generation of Martial Soul Hall?
What were they doing here?
Wait!
Level 48, Level 49, Level 50!
So they'd come to hunt a Soul Beast and help Yan obtain a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
Sun Sheng sensed their Soul Power Levels through the Douluo Leveling System and instantly understood their purpose.
Heh heh!
Maybe I can make a move on Hu Liena right here.
Sun Sheng stared fixedly at Hu Liena's scorching figure, his mind already wandering into wild fantasies.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating a targeted mission: seduce Hu Liena and make her your woman.
Current mission progress: 0%
Sun Yun heard the system's prompt and felt a secret delight in his heart.
This system—I love it. It was practically tailor-made for him.
"Hehehe, little brother, isn't big sister pretty? Your eyes are glued to me."
Perhaps because Sun Sheng had fair, tender skin and was very handsome, Hu Liena completely ignored all the other soul masters present, walked straight up to him, cast a flirtatious glance, exhaled a fragrant breath, and said seductively.
This scene made every male soul master present itch with desire, aching to pounce on her and go at it for three days and nights straight.
But the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from Hu Liena and her two companions doused everyone's thoughts.
How old were they? Already Soul Ancestors at level forty or fifty—there had to be terrifying existences backing them.
They weren't people these so-called free soul masters could afford to offend.
Gulp!
Sun Sheng breathed in the faint, fragrant scent drifting toward him, gazed at the nearly perfect, fiery figure up close, and couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Damn, she really smells good.
This Hu Liena truly lived up to her reputation—she was indeed a tempting little vixen.
She nearly shook his firm resolve and made him lose control.
This woman—he had to have her.
"Hehehe, big sister is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
Sun Sheng, well aware of Hu Liena's personality, pretended to be innocent and naive, speaking in a childish, soft voice.
And honestly, his acting wasn't bad.
He'd almost believed he was just a fresh-faced young rookie himself.
"Little sister, stop teasing this young brother. We should hurry in and hunt soul beasts."
At that moment, Xie Yue walked over, a sinister smile on his face, giving off a very eerie vibe.
"Sister Liena, why are you messing with a kid?"
Yan followed close behind, his gaze at Sun Sheng filled with disdain.
"Hehehe, how amusing. This little brother sure knows how to take a joke."
"Little brother, weren't you just looking for a team? Why not join us?"
Hu Liena looked at the blushing Sun Sheng and giggled.
Clearly, she was amused by his shy and innocent act.
Xie Yue and Yan were taken aback by her words.
They didn't understand what she meant.
After all, bringing along this deadweight with only level-twenty Soul Power would only slow their progress.
As for the others around, they stared at Sun Sheng with envy.
What kind of dumb luck did this kid have, to catch a beauty's favor?
"Little sister, no. Bringing him will hold us back."
"Besides, we're heading into the core zone this time. It's too dangerous with him—it's not convenient."
Xie Yue quickly tried to stop Hu Liena's impulsive decision.
"It's fine. With Brother Yan here, what danger could we face?"
Hu Liena smiled seductively at Yan.
Truth be told, she didn't know why she wanted to bring him along either.
She just felt a connection with this kid, an inexplicable sense of closeness that made her feel she had to take him.
"Hahaha, Sister Liena's right. What's the big deal about bringing a deadweight? It's nothing."
Yan had always had a crush on Hu Liena, and hearing her words sent him into a frenzy of joy. He immediately agreed to her suggestion.
Seeing this, Xie Yue shook his head helplessly.
This Yan—always the same.
In front of little sister, he had zero resistance.
One casual compliment, and he'd be flying on cloud nine.
"Fine, but you, kid, better not run off."
With two of the three in favor, how could Xie Yue refuse on his own?
If danger came, he could just abandon the kid.
Maybe he'd even make a decent bait to buy them time to escape.
