Condensing the First Soul Ring

Gu Chen and Gu Yuena followed Tang San and Xiao Wu all the way—no, they silently watched over them all the way.

Tang San and Xiao Wu stopped some distance away.

"Little San, look, there are so many stars in the sky!" Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly.

Tang San was somewhat helpless. He still had to obtain his first soul ring the next day; he could not exactly show up with dark circles under his eyes. "You dragged me out here just to look at the stars?"

After glancing around and confirming that no one was nearby, Xiao Wu stepped closer to Tang San, one step at a time. "Of course not. I came to find you because..."

Watching Xiao Wu approach him step by step, Tang San's face reddened slightly.

Suddenly, her Scorpion Braid turned into a black blur and whipped toward Tang San's neck.

"Of course, I came to spar with you!" Xiao Wu said as both her hand and braid shot up, closing in on Tang San.

Xiao Wu's hand was soft and smooth, like a ball of cotton. But Tang San was in no mood to appreciate that wonderful feeling. To his alarm, he discovered that Xiao Wu's arm had twisted slightly. It not only wrapped around his palm, but instantly stretched out and coiled around his arm.

Meanwhile, that Scorpion Braid was like her third hand as it curled toward Tang San's neck.

Tang San suddenly threw his head back and bent his waist backward, using an Iron Bridge to evade while activating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and channeling its power through both arms.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Wu suddenly released her grip. At the same time, a powerful force struck his waist, making it impossible for him to maintain his balance. He fell straight backward.

Xiao Wu pinned down Tang San's two front shoulder joints and straddled him. "Well? Do you admit defeat?"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A round of applause drew both of their attention.

"Tsk, tsk. Instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, you came out here to show off your affection. At such a young age, you're already up to no good. The girl on top and the boy underneath? Tang San, you're really not cutting it!" The speaker was none other than Gu Chen. Wearing a teasing smile, he walked toward them.

The two sprang apart as if shocked by lightning. Xiao Wu immediately lowered her head, her cheeks as red as apples.

Tang San's face was red as well, but he pointed at Gu Yuena behind Gu Chen and retorted, "Then what are you and Sister Na'er doing out at night? Don't tell me you came out to show off your affection too?"

Gu Yuena's little face immediately flushed, and she snapped in embarrassed anger, "Tang San, you're asking for a beating! Come on, let's spar!"

Tang San did not know Gu Yuena's strength. After all, when Gu Yuena had entered the dormitory, Gu Chen had protected her so thoroughly that she had never needed to make a move.

It was no wonder Tang San agreed to Gu Yuena's invitation to spar.

Gu Chen snickered to the side. Tang San really was a newborn calf unafraid of tigers! Even he did not dare guarantee that he could defeat Gu Yuena. This was going to be entertaining!

Gu Yuena struck first, thrusting a palm through the air. A palm-shaped flame suddenly shot forth and burned toward Tang San.

Tang San was somewhat surprised. A Fire Element Martial Soul?

A faint purple gleam flashed through Tang San's eyes as he instinctively activated his Purple Demon Eyes. The Flame Palm's speed clearly slowed.

He stepped with the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and swiftly dodged to the side.

At that moment, the ground beneath Tang San's feet suddenly turned into a mud pit, clinging tightly to his feet like superglue and pulling him underground.

In an instant, Tang San's lower legs had sunk into the ground, leaving him unable to evade the Flame Palm.

However, Gu Yuena's control over her Soul Power was clearly superb. When the Flame Palm struck Tang San head-on, it merely scorched his clothes. As for Tang San himself, he only felt burning heat and was not injured.

"I surrender!" Tang San said helplessly. Both his legs had been restrained. How was he supposed to keep fighting?

Only then did Gu Yuena reveal a faint smile and return to stand behind Gu Chen. Her silver hair drifted in the night breeze, carrying a unique beauty.

Gu Yuena had used the abilities of both the Fire Element and Earth Element. Could she possess a Dual Element Martial Soul? Or was she like him, possessing Twin Martial Souls?

Tang San was deeply puzzled, but out of pride, he did not step forward to ask.

The next day.

Tang San rose early in the morning and left with Grandmaster to obtain his first soul ring.

Not long after Tang San left, Gu Chen got up as well. He woke the sleeping Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, you probably haven't condensed your first soul ring yet, right? Come on, let's condense our first soul rings together."

Xiao Wu nodded and said softly, "My lord, are we going back to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Gu Chen shook his head. "The Star Dou Great Forest is too far from here. We'll go directly to the Soul Hunting Forest. Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain where our soul rings came from."

Thus, Gu Chen entrusted the work-study student duties of the next few days to Wang Sheng and the others. Since he had spent several Gold Soul Coins treating them to a lavish meal the day before, Wang Sheng and the others readily accepted the task.

Gu Chen went to the Spirit Hall branch once more and applied for a lowest-grade Pass Token. Then, taking Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena with him, he rented a carriage and headed for the Soul Hunting Forest.

The market outside the Soul Hunting Forest was bustling, but since the three of them were only going to condense soul rings rather than hunt soul beasts, they did not need many supplies. Gu Chen and the others got out of the carriage and walked to the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.

After handing the token to the captain of the soldiers responsible for inspecting passes and having their identities confirmed, Gu Chen and the others entered the Soul Hunting Forest.

Once inside the Soul Hunting Forest, Gu Chen and the others were like fish in water. No soul beast dared approach within a hundred meters of them without permission.

Gu Chen and the others quickly reached the center of the Soul Hunting Forest and temporarily "borrowed" the habitat of the Soul Hunting Forest's only Ten Thousand Year soul beast that had escaped capture—the Ten Thousand Year Wisdom Ape.

"Xiao Wu, condense your soul ring first. Gu Yuena and I will stand guard for you," Gu Chen said.

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously and said gratefully, "Thank you, my lord!"

Gu Chen gently shook his head. "It's nothing. I promised the Sky Azure Bull Python that I would look after you."

So it was Da Ming. Xiao Wu nodded, sat cross-legged, and slowly condensed her Soul Power into the shape of a ring.

The shadow of a snow-white rabbit appeared behind Xiao Wu. This was her true form, a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit.

The Soul Power ring behind her slowly shifted from transparent to the milky white of a ten-year soul ring. An hour later, it changed into a deep yellow.

After a long while, the soul ring's color stopped changing, and its Soul Power fluctuations gradually weakened. The yellow first soul ring drew into Xiao Wu's body, and she opened her pink eyes. "Thank you, my lord. Xiao Wu has condensed her first soul ring."

Gu Chen nodded gently. "Next, Gu Yuena and I will condense our soul rings. Stand guard for us and don't let anyone approach this place."

Xiao Wu nodded.

Gu Yuena sat down elegantly. The phantom of a Seven-Colored Silver Dragon emerged behind her, making Xiao Wu, who was standing guard some distance away, tremble uncontrollably.

Seven spheres of light appeared in Gu Yuena's palm, their colors representing the seven elements of water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space.
