The few who had just been intimidating Su Yun now wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"You... your first soul ring is actually a thousand-year soul ring?"
"This is impossible!"
"This is just too outrageous!"
The round-faced brute shook his head frantically, his voice turning shrill from disbelief, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Watching the shock of those around him, Tang San felt his resolve to keep pace with Su Yun grow even firmer; a thousand-year soul ring was something he was determined to obtain.
Of course, more importantly, Tang San felt that hunting a thousand-year soul beast with Su Yun this time would be even simpler, especially since Su Yun had been able to hunt thousand-year soul beasts even before obtaining his first soul ring, let alone now that he had already acquired it.
Tang San knew that for this soul hunt, he was destined to rely on Su Yun; against the strength of a thousand-year soul beast, he could only serve to provide a distraction.
However, thinking of his future plan to walk the path of an auxiliary-type soul master, Tang San felt much better, treating this as early preparation.
Meanwhile.
Hearing such a chorus of exclamations, Su Yun did not show surprise or pride, but remained as gentle and refined as ever, retracting his Shadow Scythe before continuing to speak to the bald brute.
"Once we find it, we have our own ways to hunt it."
"Phew..."
The bald brute let out a long breath.
"Fine!"
He had misjudged them!
He had thought they were just two minor nobles, but he hadn't expected them to be scions of a great family.
Yes, he was now certain that Su Yun and Tang San must come from some hidden clan.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to absorb a thousand-year soul ring as a first ring?
One had to know that among the major powers on the surface of the Douluo Continent, there was no record of any disciple having a thousand-year first soul ring.
The bald brute had even begun to imagine that hidden beside Su Yun and Tang San was a guardian, at least a Soul Saint.
In fact, it wasn't just him; everyone present thought the same, otherwise, it would be hard to explain the thousand-year soul ring on Su Yun.
In an instant, the gazes everyone directed at Su Yun and Tang San changed—filled with envy, awe...
Su Yun was very satisfied with this; wasn't the whole reason he exposed his thousand-year soul ring to use the tiger's skin as a banner?
The Frozen Forest was not like the Soul Beast Forest; there was no registration required to enter or leave, and once something happened, it was difficult to trace, so "black-eating-black" incidents were common.
Once they entered the Frozen Forest, the fact that he possessed a soul tool could not be hidden.
In the original work, at the Imperial Capital auction, a 50-cubic-meter soul tool storage ring had a starting price of 500,000 Gold Soul Coins, which showed just how precious storage soul tools were.
Once this was exposed, Su Yun and Tang San would be like two children holding gold bricks in a busy market; many would not mind making a fortune.
Rather than being targeted by others, it was better to display it openly and make people wary.
If you don't have a background, create one yourself and let others imagine it for you.
So, when Su Yun flipped his hand and a bag of Gold Soul Coins appeared in his palm, no one present felt any greed; they even acted as if nothing had happened, looking innocent and pure, terrified that any strange look might get them targeted and slaughtered by a "guardian."
The bald brute looked at the Gold Soul Coins Su Yun handed over and nodded fiercely.
"Since the two young master and miss have made full preparations, our Promise-Worth-a-Thousand-Gold Hunting Group accepts this commission."
After speaking, he took the Gold Soul Coins from Su Yun without hesitation; the bald brute did not think of refusing, wanting to earn some goodwill.
In his mind, a young master and miss from a hidden family wouldn't owe him a favor just because of these 100 Gold Soul Coins, even if that favor was very small.
To take a step back, even if they did owe him, who knew how long it would be before they met again after parting ways this time? They might even forget about it.
Between a tiny favor that might not be useful in the future and 100 Gold Soul Coins within reach, the round-faced brute chose the latter.
The deal was struck, but the round-faced brute did not set off immediately, instead continuing to solicit customers.
As for Su Yun, he stayed with the other team members, occasionally chatting with them, which would trigger friendship points, though they were few, never exceeding 5 points.
After waiting for about half an hour, the round-faced brute returned with three more people and spoke to the group.
"Everyone! Everyone is here now, and we are about to set off. Before that, let me introduce myself to our esteemed customers."
"My name is Kuang Nu! Level 38 Power Attack Soul Elder, martial soul Unicorn Rhino!"
"These are my four teammates."
"They are..."
"Qian Kaixin, martial soul Wolf-Tooth Mace, Level 29 Power Attack Soul Master."
"Snow Leopard, martial soul Ice Plains Leopard, Level 28 Agility Attack Soul Grand Master."
"Gu Yifeng, martial soul Mystic Stone Turtle, Level 31 Defense Soul Master."
"Zhang Qingsong, martial soul Azure Vine, Level 28 Control Soul Master."
"And our beauty Hua Hua, martial soul Spring-Greeting Staff; she is a Level 27 Auxiliary Soul Master."
I have to say.
This team is quite comprehensive.
Although there are only six members, no position is lacking.
After Kuang Nu finished introducing his teammates one by one, he looked back at the customers.
"For the time being, we will protect everyone's safety throughout the entire process and help you obtain the soul rings you desire.
Of course, during this process, we hope everyone strictly abides by our rules. Otherwise, if an accident occurs.
We will have the right to refuse our duty to protect you.
If there are no problems, everyone should state their requests.
Then, according to the regulations, half of the deposit must be paid first.
The other half will be paid after the soul beast hunt is completed."
Basically, all soul hunting teams operate this way.
Naturally, no one had any objections.
Immediately, the first customer stepped forward, looking a bit reserved.
"Um...
My martial soul is a fine rope. Actually, I haven't decided what kind of soul beast to hunt yet.
Can you give me some advice?"
After speaking, he looked at Kuang Nu expectantly.
Kuang Nu's expression didn't change much. As a soul hunting team, they often encountered such situations, and he directly refused.
"Sorry, we can't give you much good advice. You, the boss, need to decide for yourself."
As a soul hunting team, they generally wouldn't help customers recommend soul rings. This was also to avoid situations where the customer was dissatisfied after absorbing it and refused to pay, or paid less of the remaining balance.
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately looked dejected.
It was at this moment that a middle-aged man among the customers suddenly spoke.
"I think snake-type soul beasts would be very suitable.
Not only can it increase the toughness of the fine rope, but it might also grant him a binding soul skill."
Hearing the other person's words, Su Yun subconsciously looked over, his expression utterly indescribable.
He really wanted Yu Xiaogang to come and see. What a master, yet this random person had the same idea as him!
"Binding soul skill?"
The youth's heart immediately lit up, feeling it was quite good.
"Thank you, sir, for your guidance. Then I'll..."
Just as the youth was about to confirm, Su Yun couldn't help but interject.
"I have a better recommendation here."
