"This won't do. I need to solve the Soul Ring problem as soon as possible." Because of this, Li Yuan's sleep quality had dropped considerably. He felt it was necessary to make a trip to the Sunset Great Forest soon.
Strictly speaking, Li Yuan was already a regular visitor to the Sunset Great Forest. Especially after realizing that he could kill Soul Beasts with his bare hands, he often wandered around the outskirts of the Sunset Great Forest in search of food. Compared to ordinary game, Soul Beasts tasted far better.
However, the Soul Beasts found on the outskirts of the Sunset Great Forest were relatively ordinary, at most a few hundred-year Soul Beasts. Li Yuan had no interest in them at all.
In his previous life, he had read Douluo Continent. According to The Master's theory, the limit for a Soul Master's First Soul Ring was over four hundred years. He could not remember the exact number.
Therefore, Li Yuan felt it would be better to venture deeper into the Sunset Great Forest and find a Soul Beast over four hundred years old for his Soul Ring.
But the problem was, what kind of Soul Ring would be best for his damned Martial Soul?!
There had never been a Keyboard Martial Soul on Douluo Continent before. He could only feel his way forward on his own. Ah, what a pain!
"Xiao Yuan, it's time for you to go down the mountain—no, it's time for you to leave the village!" Just as Li Yuan was agonizing over what Soul Beast to use for his Soul Ring, Village Chief Duke suddenly popped up before him.
Over the years, Li Yuan had grown used to the village chief's habit of appearing and disappearing without a trace, so he was not particularly surprised to see Duke.
"Hello, Grandpa Village Chief!" Li Yuan greeted Duke, but made no move to get up. Instead, he said leisurely, "As for leaving the village, there's no need to rush."
"I still haven't decided what Soul Beast to hunt. How about waiting another two days?" A few days ago, Li Yuan had told Duke about his plans, which was why this scene was happening now. But why did Grandpa Village Chief look so impatient? He could not figure it out.
"Wait..." Duke wore an expression like he was constipated, though it vanished in an instant. Soon, he put on a kind and amiable face and said to Li Yuan, "Well, there's no need to wait."
"Xiao Yuan, you should hurry out and see the world. The outside world is very exciting."
"Oh, right, Xiao Yuan. Grandpa has prepared all your equipment for you. Don't let Grandpa's good intentions go to waste."
As he spoke, Duke pulled a belt out from nowhere and handed it to Li Yuan.
The belt looked quite pretty.
It was entirely black, with dark patterns running across it that were impossible to make out without close inspection. Twenty-four milky-white jade stones were evenly embedded along the belt. The jade stones were round and lustrous, clearly rare pieces of fine jade.
"Oh, what is this? Eh, wait..." Li Yuan carelessly accepted the belt, but his eyes soon widened.
Eh, this thing looked a little familiar! In Douluo Continent, the protagonist Tang San seemed to have a belt like this too. It was called Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan hurriedly counted the jade stones on the belt again. That was right, there were indeed twenty-four of them. Could this be the same belt as Tang San's?
Or rather, was this Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night?
But that was not right! When he had first arrived on Douluo Continent, he had specifically looked into its history. At this point, the two great empires of Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou and Star Luo, still existed. Oh, right, Spirit Hall's current Pope was still Bibi Dong.
This meant that the era he had transmigrated into should be roughly the same as Tang San's. So logically, Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night should still be with Tang San or The Master.
If that was the case, then the belt Village Chief Duke had given him was not Tang San's belt. Could it really just be the same model?
Or were belts like this actually mass-produced?
Li Yuan felt as though he had discovered some incredible secret.
"Grandpa Duke, what is this?" Though he could not help mocking it inwardly, Li Yuan still put on an innocent expression and asked curiously.
"This is a Soul Tool. It can be used for storage. You only need to inject your own Soul Power into it, and each jade stone can provide one cubic meter of storage space. It makes storing all sorts of items convenient. I've already put quite a few daily necessities inside the belt, enough for you to use for a while."
"Besides that, there's also some information about Soul Beasts inside. Aren't you going to the Sunset Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts? It should come in handy."
"So it really is the same model as Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night!" Li Yuan suddenly understood. To be safe, he asked another question, "Grandpa Village Chief, what is this belt called?"
"A name?" Duke froze for a moment before saying, "This belt has no name. If you like, you can give it one yourself."
"This..." Now it was Li Yuan's turn to be stunned. Give it a name?
What should he call it? It definitely could not be called Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night. Otherwise, would it not be awkward when he met Tang San in the future?
Then he would call it Jade Person Where to Teach Flute Playing!
Mm, that was right. It was quite a nice name, and it could even form a pair with Tang San's belt!
Li Yuan thought mischievously, unable to stop a snickering grin from appearing on his face. Duke, who stood beside him, felt a chill run down his spine.
"Alright, Xiao Yuan, stop spacing out. Look, I've prepared everything for you. If you don't know what Soul Beast to choose for your Soul Ring, you can slowly look through the materials I gave you and decide along the way."
"Don't you think it's about time you left?"
"Oh, that? Alright, then." Li Yuan fastened the belt around his waist and climbed up from the pile of grass. At last, he made up his mind to take a trip into the Sunset Great Forest.
At the sight of this, delight immediately appeared on Village Chief Duke's face. It was not that he disliked Li Yuan, but Li Yuan's appearance was simply too bizarre.
Duke felt that he was already too old to withstand such stimulation. Besides, Li Yuan ate far too much. If he stayed in the village any longer, Li Yuan would probably eat away even Duke's funeral savings.
So, it was better to hurry and send Li Yuan away, letting him torment the Soul Beasts of the Sunset Great Forest instead.
"By the way, Grandpa, if you can get your hands on such a miraculous Soul Tool, you probably weren't an ordinary person in the past, were you?" Just then, Li Yuan, who had been about to leave, suddenly turned around and asked the kind old man beside him, who looked no different from any ordinary elder.
