The wild boar's eyes snapped open, and it took a stance as if it were about to charge at Su Yun once more.
Su Yun braced his hands, his long spear already poised for a strike.
However, the next second.
The wild boar turned its head and bolted toward the rear.
In just a few breaths, the figure of the wild boar vanished into the mountain forest.
Its back was no longer in sight.
Su Yun: "..."
Although he didn't continue training, Su Yun had gained a fair grasp of his own offensive methods.
He calculated the remaining time for his side quest.
After a few more days of practical combat practice, Su Yun applied to the academy instructors, wishing to obtain his first soul ring.
As it happened, two other work-study students had also reached level ten soul power a few days prior.
Thus, after two days of rest, led by an academy teacher, a group of four including Su Yun boarded a carriage bound for the Soul Hunting Forest.
The teacher leading Su Yun and the other two students was a level 29 Battle Soul Master surnamed Xiong.
Su Yun had seen his martial soul before during a sparring class.
Just like his name, it was a black bear.
Moreover, both of this teacher's soul rings were hundred-year soul rings!
Although he mentioned that his first soul ring had only just barely crossed the hundred-year threshold.
For soul masters in such a small place, that was already considered quite an impressive level.
The vast majority of soul masters had only white ten-year soul rings for their first.
As for the other two male students who came along.
They were both fourth-year work-study students, slightly older than Su Yun.
However, it was worth mentioning.
These two boys were twins.
Furthermore, their martial souls were identical: both were pythons.
Both of their Innate Soul Power levels were 4.
On the road, they had already discussed the soul rings they wanted with the teacher.
That was the soul ring of an Earth Dragon Python.
During class, the teacher had even mentioned it.
He had even specifically called out the names of these twin brothers.
The Earth Dragon Python belonged to the type of soul beast that was relatively thick-skinned and fleshy.
Its characteristics were high durability and great strength.
The scales on its body were also incredibly hard.
Su Yun nodded to himself after hearing this: the Earth Dragon Python's soul ring was indeed very suitable for these two brothers.
"Su Yun, have you decided what kind of soul ring you want yet?"
Inside the carriage, the older twin sitting next to Su Yun asked.
"Not yet."
Su Yun shook his head, then added: "But I plan to follow a support path."
Upon hearing his words.
The younger of the twins looked up and thought for a moment, then nodded: "That seems right."
"The teacher also said in class that the Blue Silver Grass itself doesn't have high attack power."
"As a support-type soul master, with your Innate Full Soul Power talent, it probably won't be difficult for you to join other intermediate soul master academies or even advanced soul master academies in the future."
Teacher Xiong, sitting in the middle of the carriage, laughed and said: "Haha, don't be in such a rush, student Su Yun."
"We'll look as we go; there will eventually be a soul beast that suits you."
Teacher Xiong pointed at the long spear Su Yun had resting on his lap, his expression somewhat displeased as he said:
"However, you're still carrying a spear when you go out; you clearly don't trust me as your teacher."
The twin brothers were also quite confused as to why Su Yun brought a spear with him.
Since they already had a teacher to help, why would he need to carry a weapon on his person?
Su Yun did not hide it, stating his intention to hunt a soul beast on his own.
Sure enough, Teacher Xiong immediately shook his head and refused after hearing his request.
Let a six-year-old child hunt a soul beast alone?
If something were to go wrong, how could he answer to the academy?
However, Su Yun eventually managed to get Teacher Xiong to agree.
There was a condition to allowing Su Yun to hunt a soul beast alone.
That was that Teacher Xiong, as his teacher, must be present.
To prevent any unforeseen accidents.
Su Yun did not refuse.
In any case, he had no secrets worth hiding.
The reason he dragged his teacher along was precisely to prevent himself from being targeted by other soul masters.
After all, he was only six years old, and going out alone...
The hearts of men are unpredictable, as they say.
He still thought it best to be careful for now.
Once he grew up, he could be a bit more reckless.
It wasn't until noon the next day.
That the group of four arrived at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.
Led by Teacher Xiong, Su Yun and the other two students pushed through the crowd and walked straight into the Soul Hunting Forest.
The moment he entered the Soul Hunting Forest, Su Yun's eyes lit up.
He had to admit.
The biggest difference between the Soul Hunting Forest and the back mountain of the academy was the scent of soul power.
Although soul power existed everywhere on the continent.
Every place had its own unique flavor of soul power.
If the soul power at the academy's back mountain was like a glass of plain water.
Then the soul power inside the Soul Hunting Forest was like a glass of soda.
It was a refreshing sensation, and this was the first time Su Yun had ever felt it.
Involuntarily, Su Yun released a cluster of Gold-Veined Blue Silver Grass from his left hand.
And the moment Su Yun released his martial soul, he suddenly felt countless weak auras surrounding his body.
Those weak auras were like breathing; if you didn't actively try to perceive their existence, you would almost ignore them entirely.
"Hmm?"
Teacher Xiong, walking in front, let out a soft sound of surprise and looked back.
He saw that the Blue Silver Grass on both sides of the forest path was swaying gently.
And the direction they were swaying and leaning toward was pointing right at Su Yun behind him!
"Hiss... what is going on here?"
Teacher Xiong was somewhat astonished.
The twin students were also quite surprised when they saw this scene.
"Su Yun, why are all these Blue Silver Grass swaying toward you?"
Su Yun also noticed the anomaly of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass at this moment.
