Five-Hundred-Year Blue Silver Grass, Excellent Blue Silver Grass Tool

The two of them stepped into the Soul Hunting Forest.

It was Xiao Ze's first time in the Soul Hunting Forest, and he immediately felt oppressed.

Towering ancient trees blotted out the sky. Their canopies were so thick that almost no light could pass through, leaving only scattered specks of light falling below.

For the Soul Hunting Forest, those specks of light were utterly useless.

It was still early morning, and a faint white mist filled the forest. The air carried the scents of soil and fresh grass.

And this was only the Soul Hunting Forest. Xiao Ze did not dare imagine how exaggerated the Star Dou Great Forest must be.

"Xiao Ze, stay close to me. The Soul Hunting Forest is still very dangerous."

As he spoke, the principal held a crimson longsword. Its entire blade looked like molten lava, covered in fine flame patterns.

The edge was not smooth, but lined with tiny serrations.

This was the first time Xiao Ze had seen the principal's Martial Soul, and he was quite curious.

Seeing Xiao Ze's curious gaze, the principal smiled. "My Martial Soul is called the Quenching Fire Sword. It may not be a high-tier Martial Soul, but it's still pretty good."

"Come on. We're heading to the Blue Silver Grass area."

Blue Silver Grass was one of the most numerous Soul Beasts on the Douluo Continent.

It covered the entire continent, but these Blue Silver Grasses were not powerful.

Not to mention a thousand-year one—even a five-hundred-year Blue Silver Grass could be considered exceptionally gifted.

Only Blue Silver Grass over a hundred years old possessed intelligence.

Anything below a hundred years was no different from ordinary weeds.

Finding a five-hundred-year Blue Silver Grass was quite difficult. It was truly one in a hundred.

If his First Soul Skill was unrelated to the Soul Beast, he could find the Blue Silver Forest later.

Then his Soul Rings would basically be settled—they would all be Blue Silver Grass.

"Chirp, chirp~"

Suddenly, a completely crimson fox appeared before Xiao Ze and the principal. It had three tails, and flames burned at their tips.

Its eyes were amber-colored, and its forehead bore Gold Veins resembling flames.

"It's an Illusion Flame Fox, a hundred-year Illusion Flame Fox."

The principal raised the Quenching Fire Sword and stepped in front of Xiao Ze.

"Move aside, and I'll spare your life."

"Chirp, chirp~~"

The Illusion Flame Fox seemed unable to understand the principal's words. It transformed into a crimson streak of fire and charged at him, leaving blazing flames in its path.

"Beast!"

The principal shouted furiously, and five Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—lit up around him.

The principal was already old and had originally only wanted to casually obtain a thousand-year Soul Ring for his fifth one.

But Xiao Ze had talked him out of it.

The principal might not have much talent, but as long as Xiao Ze obtained Immortal Herbs later, he would still have a chance to become a Title Douluo.

As for whether giving an Immortal Herb to the principal would be a waste, that was not something Xiao Ze needed to consider.

Over the past three years, the principal's care for Xiao Ze had reached a level that made every student envious.

The principal was even like Xiao Ze's Grandfather.

He was no worse than the elders of Qingxi Village.

It was only an Immortal Herb.

With a casual swing of his sword, the principal sent down a long blade of flame.

The Illusion Flame Fox's eyes trembled. Its three tails twisted together into a ring of fire to block the flaming blade, but it was only a hundred-year Soul Beast and was no match for the principal.

It was sent flying by a single slash, flames igniting across its body.

Even with its Fire Attribute, the Illusion Flame Fox could not withstand the flames of a Soul King.

The Illusion Flame Fox stared at the principal in terror.

"Scram!"

The Illusion Flame Fox immediately fled.

"Xiao Ze, if you don't need a Soul Ring in the future, don't kill Soul Beasts recklessly. Soul Bones depend on luck.

There will be more and more Soul Masters, and every Soul Master needs many Soul Beasts. In a few tens of thousands of years, Soul Beasts may go extinct.

When that happens, Soul Masters will come to an end as well."

The principal lectured him.

Xiao Ze nodded.

That was true. By the time of Douluo IV, the Fierce Beasts were nearly all dead, and Soul Beasts were close to extinction.

Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit might have been created with good intentions.

But he had forgotten human greed.

Even for Soul Bones, the war between Soul Beasts and humans would never end.

And the Soul Spirit method was not equal enough.

Given the chance, Xiao Ze wanted to study an equal Soul Spirit method.

He was very interested in that field.

Perhaps it would be better called a Life Contract.

As for Soul Bones, perhaps they could be manufactured as well.

If Soul Spirits could be created, shouldn't Soul Bones be even easier?

Along the way, Xiao Ze and the principal encountered more than a dozen kinds of Soul Beasts, but none were suitable for Xiao Ze.

"Found them, Blue Silver Grass!"

The principal smiled as he looked at the swaying blue grass on the ground.

"That's right, it's Blue Silver Grass. If we follow this path, we should find more Blue Silver Grass."

Xiao Ze touched the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass. This plant was less than a hundred years old and no different from ordinary weeds.

The two continued onward.

Before long, they found a large patch of Blue Silver Grass.

It grew densely together, yet did not look frightening at all.

The air here was exceptionally fresh.

"That Blue Silver Grass is five hundred years old."

As he spoke, the principal stepped forward to pull it out.

Suddenly, vines bursting from the ground wrapped around the principal's foot.

"A cheap trick."

With a casual slash, the principal severed the vines.

Among this cluster of Blue Silver Grass, there was not a single thousand-year plant. There were only a few hundred-year ones.

That showed just how heaven-defying Ah Yin was.

Among countless Blue Silver Grasses, there was only one Blue Silver Emperor like her.

Sensing the principal's ferocity, the Blue Silver Grass shrank back its leaves.

But they could not escape. The five-hundred-year Blue Silver Grass was brought before Xiao Ze by the principal.

"Xiao Ze, absorb it."

"Alright." Xiao Ze took out a classic little dagger and pierced the Blue Silver Grass.

A yellow Soul Ring rose into the air.

Xiao Ze immediately sat cross-legged, the excitement on his face undiminished.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ze began circulating the Shen Nong Hundred Herbs Scripture. He used his Soul Power to draw the Soul Ring above his head and slowly absorb it.

"This child seems to have an opportunity of his own."

The principal chuckled softly. How could he fail to see that the cultivation method Xiao Ze practiced was not an ordinary meditation technique?

His Soul Power had most likely been raised through this technique as well.

But so what?

He was still his student.

The principal held the Quenching Fire Sword and watched the surroundings, not allowing any Soul Beast to disturb Xiao Ze.

Time slowly passed.

By noon, dazzling, scorching sunlight streamed down through the gaps between the leaves.

Feeling the sunlight, the Blue Silver Grasses all straightened their bodies and began absorbing it.

"Whew..."

Xiao Ze slowly opened his eyes. Feeling how comfortable his body was, he broke into a broad smile.

"Congratulations. You successfully obtained an over-limit First Soul Ring."

"Principal Grandpa, thank you." Xiao Ze was deeply grateful to him.

If the villagers of Qingxi Village had been Xiao Ze's guides in life.

Then the principal was his guide on the path of a Soul Master.

He might not have been as powerful as Yao Lao, but no one could replace him.

Most of Xiao Ze's knowledge had been learned from the principal.

That showed how much the principal valued and liked Xiao Ze.

"Silly child, I'm your principal." The principal vigorously ruffled Xiao Ze's head.

"How's your Soul Power? It should be level twelve, right?"

"Mm, level twelve. I'm not far from level thirteen either."

After absorbing the Soul Ring, Xiao Ze discovered that cultivating near Blue Silver Grass was more efficient.

Blue Silver Grass with tenacious vitality—an excellent tool Soul Beast.

"And what about your First Soul Skill?"
