Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Renxue Appears

After leaving, Yang Yuan could not help laughing out loud.

In the novels he had read in his previous life, the protagonists of other fanfictions had all disparaged Tang San's Blue Silver Grass absorbing Poison Attribute Soul Rings to the utmost.

But he was different.

He had chosen to do the opposite!

He lavishly praised Tang San for absorbing Poison Attribute Soul Rings, afraid Tang San might suddenly take the advice and switch to Soul Rings with the Life Attribute.

If that happened, Douluo Continent would lose who knew how much fun.

So Yang Yuan chose the tactic of praising someone to ruin them.

And the reason he did this was because he wanted to see.

If he stole the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone and claimed all the Immortal Herbs as well.

Then vigorously supported Tang San in absorbing Poison Attribute Soul Rings.

Would the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul be crippled?

Would it?

How curious!

Hehehe~

Upon learning that Yang Yuan was going to obtain a Soul Ring, everyone from Dorm Seven, along with Xiao Chenyu and the others, came to see him off.

Xiao Chenyu even secretly slipped a silver card into Yang Yuan's clothes.

"Boss Yang, there are two thousand Gold Soul Coins inside. If possible, you should still hire a Soul Hunting Group to help."

Even for him, coming up with two thousand Gold Soul Coins had taken no small effort.

After all, he was not favored at home. Otherwise, his First Soul Ring would not have been merely a Ten-Year Soul Ring.

Yang Yuan accepted the Silver Card and shot Xiao Chenyu a surprised glance.

Kid, you're on the right track.

"Alright, this is far enough. You can stop here."

Yang Yuan waved to them, then turned and strode away with carefree ease.

Inside Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

"You're saying Yang Yuan went out alone to hunt Soul Beasts?"

Upon hearing this from Tang San, Yu Xiaogang immediately looked surprised.

He had originally thought that Yang Yuan would ask one of the academy teachers for help, or perhaps request his assistance.

If Yang Yuan had asked him, then for the sake of his talent, he certainly would have helped.

Especially after learning from Tang San that Yang Yuan strongly approved of his theory about attaching Poison Attribute Soul Rings to Blue Silver Grass.

He felt that while Yang Yuan was calculating by nature and deeply scheming, as long as he could recognize and correct his mistakes, Yu Xiaogang would still be willing to accept Yang Yuan as his second disciple.

But he had not expected the usually "shrewd" Yang Yuan to actually consider hunting his First Soul Ring alone.

Did he think that because he had defeated Tang San and Xiao Wu, he was capable of hunting Soul Beasts on his own?

How foolish!

One's limit for a Soul Master's First Soul Ring was four hundred and twenty-three years.

With the strength Yang Yuan had displayed.

Even hunting an ordinary Soul Beast that was one or two hundred years old posed a mortal danger, much less a Soul Beast that was three or four hundred years old.

Besides, as a first-year student, did he even know what kind of Soul Ring he should absorb?

Beside him, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and sighed. "Teacher, it's all my fault for not persuading him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone hunting Soul Beasts alone."

After hearing that, Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

"Xiao San, this is not your fault. There is no need for you to feel guilty."

"I saw long ago that this boy is arrogant by nature. He must have seen that even you and Xiao Wu, two One-Ring Soul Masters working together, were no match for him. That is why he became so conceited that he went hunting Soul Beasts alone."

"As the saying goes, one may survive calamities wrought by Heaven, but one cannot survive calamities of one's own making."

"Even if you had tried to persuade him, he probably would not have appreciated it."

Tang San could not help letting out a long sigh.

Yu Xiaogang continued, "By the way, is Xiao Wu willing to take me as her teacher?"

When it came to Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang truly had not expected a tiny Nuoding Academy to produce three people with Innate Full Soul Power at once.

Although Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul was not top-tier, she did possess Innate Full Soul Power.

Thus, Yu Xiaogang was equally willing to take on another disciple.

Tang San shook his head. "Teacher, I've already told you about Xiao Wu's personality."

"She is naturally lively, dislikes restraint, and is rather carefree by nature."

"And you have always been strict. Once she learned that becoming your disciple meant studying diligently every day, she wanted nothing more than to avoid you."

Yu Xiaogang could not help laughing.

"That Xiao Wu truly is a person of temperament."

After saying that, he looked at Tang San teasingly.

"Xiao San, I've noticed that you seem to care a great deal about Xiao Wu?"

Tang San's face immediately reddened, and he hurriedly explained, "Teacher, I only regard Xiao Wu as a younger sister."

"Hahahaha!"

"See? You're getting flustered again!"

On the other side.

After leaving the academy, Yang Yuan rented a carriage in the city.

Traveling day and night, he finally reached a settlement called Qinglan Town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest after a full three days.

After paying the remaining fare, Yang Yuan stepped down from the carriage.

Though the town was not large, its streets were bustling with people, making it even livelier than Nuoding City.

Shops lined both sides of the streets, and stalls selling all kinds of Soul Master supplies could be seen everywhere.

The cries of vendors rang out without end.

With a bundle on his back, Yang Yuan found a hotel in town that looked clean and simple. He had no intention of entering the Star Dou Great Forest immediately.

Instead, he rested in town for a day and went to a weapons shop to buy a broadsword that suited his hand.

The sword was four chi long and five fingers wide. Forged from Mysterious Iron, it weighed several dozen jin.

Of course, that amount of weight was nothing to Yang Yuan.

Perhaps it was because of the Double Pupil, or perhaps because of the Supreme Bone.

Ever since awakening his Martial Soul, Yang Yuan could feel his strength growing at a visible rate every day.

Forget several dozen jin—even if its weight were increased tenfold, Yang Yuan could still wield it with ease.

After buying the weapon, Yang Yuan went to a map shop and purchased a map of the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The map marked simple routes within a hundred li of the forest's outskirts, as well as the distribution of certain Soul Beasts.

With a map, Soul Masters would not easily lose their way within the Star Dou Great Forest.

For every Soul Master entering the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts, a map was especially important.

Because once they became lost and accidentally entered the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, even ten lives would not be enough to spare.

After finishing all this, Yang Yuan traveled light and entered the Star Dou Great Forest with his sword in hand.

However, he looked far too unusual. The moment he left town, several figures began following him.

After all, a child who looked only six or seven years old, without any elder accompanying him, naturally became easy prey in many people's eyes.

At the same time, two figures clad in black robes stood inside a pavilion.

Through the window, they happened to see Yang Yuan's departing back. One of the black-robed figures suddenly voiced her surprise.

"Interesting. This child looks no more than six or seven years old, yet he actually dares to come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone."

"If he came to obtain a Soul Ring, then his Innate Soul Power must be at least Rank Eight."

"However, he is about to run into big trouble!"

The other black-robed figure, tall and thin, said, "Young Master, should I go save him?"

"Snake Lance Elder, follow him and take a look. If he is in danger, save him."

"With a little training, a genius like this could become a rather useful asset."

The other black-robed figure waved her hand casually.

Her identity was obvious as well. She was Qian Renxue, one of Spirit Hall's three great love-brained fools.
