Going Out to Train! Advancing with the Earth Escape Technique! Traces of a Fallen Soul Master!

"Teacher!"

The moment Li Fei entered the office, he gave the beautiful married woman before him a slight bow.

"Xiao Fei, it's rare for a cultivation maniac like you to come looking for me on your own."

"What is it?"

Su Ru set aside her work and sized up Li Fei. After a year, he had grown taller, and his spirit looked far better than before.

Li Fei said, "I've been cultivating here all this time. It's dull and tedious, and my cultivation has been advancing slowly. I plan to go out, travel around, and gain some experience."

Su Ru said, "So That's How It Is. You really should do that, but the All Continent Elite Soul Master Competition will begin next year..."

"I'll return before next year arrives," Li Fei said.

"Alright. This is a protective talisman I specially made for you. Keep it with you."

"If you encounter Life Danger, it can block three attacks below the Soul Saint level. If it is an attack from a Soul Saint, it can only block one."

"I made this over the past year and originally intended to give it to you, but I was busy, and since you weren't going out, I delayed it. Now that you've come, the timing is perfect."

Su Ru knew that a talent like Li Fei could not be kept confined. He had to be sent out to explore and see the world.

So, she took a green Plant Token from her Soul Guide Ring and handed it to Li Fei.

"Thank You, Teacher!" Li Fei was deeply moved and hurriedly accepted it with thanks.

Sure enough, having someone to rely on was wonderful.

However, this talisman probably would not be triggered.

Because he had already mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique.

The moment he encountered danger, he could immediately use Earth Escape to flee.

Once underground, even if a Soul Master with formations made a move, they could forget about trapping him.

"Do you have a destination in mind?" Su Ru asked.

"Mm... I'll go to Heaven Dou City first, then take a look at Vast Sea City," Li Fei said after giving it some thought.

Naturally, he was going to Heaven Dou City to search Sunset Forest for the Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye.

With his Heaven-Defying Luck, there was a high chance he could find it.

"Alright. When are you leaving?" Su Ru nodded and asked.

"Better to act today than wait for another day. I'll leave today," Li Fei said.

"Fine, go then! Be careful on the road. Don't trust others too easily, and don't flaunt your wealth..."

"You don't need to worry about the Whale Rubber. I've been keeping an eye out for it the entire time."

Like a mother, Su Ru carefully reminded Li Fei of all sorts of matters he might face on the journey.

Having grown up without parents, he felt warmth in his heart.

"I understand, Teacher," Li Fei said.

He swore inwardly that this time, he would definitely find the Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye and obtain Immortal Herbs to help Su Ru improve her talent and Soul Power, allowing her to break through to Title Douluo as soon as possible.

With this connection and support behind him, he could develop with greater peace of mind.

Li Fei left Plant Academy.

This time, he did not plan to use a Swift Wind Horse.

Because he already had a better way to travel.

Locations from this world's map automatically surfaced in his mind.

As the capital of the entire Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City lay northwest of Plant Academy.

"Five Elements—Earth Escape!"

Li Fei formed hand seals with both hands.

The next second, Rock Earth surged from the ground, wrapping around him and pulling him underground.

Beneath the earth were layers upon layers of Rock Earth.

He could clearly see earthworms, insects, and other creatures living beneath the surface.

A layer of Rock Earth wrapped around Li Fei's body. Like traveling through the sea, he moved swiftly forward, and there was no resistance throughout the process.

Yin Yang Two Forces surrounded the outer layer of Rock Earth. Yang Force increased his traveling speed, while Yin Force canceled out resistance and friction.

With Li Fei controlling it through his thoughts, the Rock Earth could continuously sink deeper.

He could also clearly control willow trees and observe the scenes above ground through all kinds of plants.

The scenery above flashed past at high speed, giving him the familiar sensation of riding a high-speed rail in his previous life.

One day, as he passed beneath a village, he suddenly stopped.

It was because the village was far too quiet, carrying an eerie feeling.

Li Fei's intuition told him that something must have happened here.

So he controlled Willow Branch and resonated with every plant, quickly using their perspectives to see corpses scattered throughout the village!

The sight was horrifying!

"They're all dead!"

Following The Way of Survival, Li Fei did not emerge from beneath the ground.

When he saw the scene outside through the plants' perspectives, his heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

Fortunately, he was underground and protected by layers of Rock Earth, which gave him quite a bit of security.

Looking closely, the villagers had died horribly. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and it seemed they had been tortured before death.

"What exactly happened here?"

"There isn't a single living person left. It's impossible to find anyone to ask. It seems I can only question the plants around here. They must know something."

Li Fei summoned the Yin Yang Willow. Dense willow branches shot out wildly, connecting with every plant in the area as he began the purest form of spiritual communication.

At that moment, he heard the thoughts of the surrounding plants.

They conveyed everything they had seen and heard.

It turned out that three days ago, a man in a Black Robe had appeared in this village. Without saying a word, he began a massacre.

This Black Robe man emanated an evil aura all over his body. Even the martial soul he displayed was a Black Scythe wreathed in black energy. He had two Soul Rings, and his Soul Power had reached Level 29.

After harvesting the lives of the villagers, his Soul Power broke through to Level 30.

He had already left the village and was likely hunting for his Third Soul Ring.

"Alas, life is unpredictable. Large intestine wraps small intestine. Amitabha!"

"I can't possibly avenge you either. Everything is fate."

"Since I happened across this, I'll at least lay all of you to rest."

After learning the full story, Li Fei understood that the village had been massacred by an Evil Soul Master and could not help but sigh.

However, during this era, people generally did not call them Evil Soul Masters. Evil Soul Master was the name used in later generations; in this era, they were called Fallen Soul Masters.

Spirit Hall was the organization specifically responsible for capturing Fallen Soul Masters. Those caught were either executed directly or thrown into the City of Slaughter and imprisoned.

In the future, Tang San destroyed Spirit Hall and ruined the City of Slaughter. With no restraints or natural enemies left, the Fallen Soul Masters all escaped and wreaked havoc everywhere, becoming the Evil Soul Masters of later generations.

Tang San had not cleaned up the aftermath or established an organization to suppress Evil Soul Masters in place of Spirit Hall. He simply wrapped things up carelessly and ascended to the God Realm. That was indeed something people could criticize.

Therefore, Li Fei had no desire to get involved with Tang San, or even the Protagonist Group.

Those people all had something wrong with their heads.

A Soul Master who did not cause trouble was mediocre?

Tsk, tsk. It was fortunate that they were the Protagonist Group and had protagonist luck protecting them. If it had been anyone else, they would have been killed long ago.

The ideas of Shrek Academy, Flender, and those people were all flawed.

Li Fei followed The Way of Survival, so he was naturally at odds with them and could never walk the same path.

Besides, by the time Tang San was born, Li Fei did not even know how old he would be.

"I just need to handle my own affairs."

"Yanluo City is not far ahead. I can tell Spirit Hall about what happened here and let them deal with the headache."

After thinking it over, Li Fei circulated his Soul Power the next second. Rock Earth rose from the ground, wrapping each corpse in the village and burying them in the underground world. At least they could rest in peace.

Then, he rapidly headed toward Yanluo City ahead!

Five Hundred Li beyond Yanluo City was Heaven Dou City!
