Adorable Luos an Pao

Master introduced him. "Xiao Yu, Xiao San, this is the helper I called over. You can call him Dean Flender."

"Hello, Dean Flender."

Ye Yu and Tang San both bowed.

Master said, "Flender is a Level 78 Agility Attack System Soul Sage. His strength is enough to deal with a nine-thousand-year-level soul beast." (The ending of the previous chapter was wrong. He is not a Soul Douluo, but a Soul Sage. Four updates tomorrow as an apology.)

Ye Yu nodded. He was not very surprised. After all, Ye Yu had recognized Flender the moment he saw him and knew he was a Soul Sage. He was also the founder of Shrek Academy and the current dean of Shrek Academy.

Tang San said in surprise, "Soul Sage?!"

Tang San looked at Master with eyes full of astonishment. Master could actually invite a Soul Sage. Amazing.

Flender sized up Tang San and Ye Yu, then looked at Master to confirm. "Xiao Gang, are you sure you want me to help him hunt a one-thousand-year, or even nine-thousand-year, soul beast?"

When Flender received Master's letter and saw its contents, he found it unbelievable. He was supposed to help a six-year-old child obtain a soul ring.

At the time, Flender had been stunned. Helping a six-year-old child obtain his first soul ring, and requiring a Soul Sage like himself to make a move—wasn't that making far too big a fuss over a small matter?

Then he read further. Not only did he have to help hunt and obtain the first soul ring, there was also a second one, and the second had to reach nine thousand years!

Flender had been dazed for a moment back then, wondering if Xiao Gang was joking with him.

Flender looked at Ye Yu and exclaimed, "Xiao Gang, is this the child with Innate Full Soul Power Level 30 you mentioned?"

"Mm." Master nodded.

Flender looked at Ye Yu in surprise, while Tang San at the side was somewhat ignored.

Tang San also had innate full soul power, which was extremely rare as well. Normally, he would have become the focus, but unfortunately, beside him was an even more terrifying Innate Full Soul Power Level 30.

When Master first heard Ye Yu's words, even he had been shocked and found it hard to believe, let alone Flender. Even now, Master was still somewhat worried inside about whether Ye Yu could withstand a Nine Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"Let's talk as we walk." Master was the first to enter the Soul Hunting Forest.

After entering the forest, they did not hurry forward. Master reminded Flender.

"Remember what I told you before. When hunting a soul beast for Xiao Yu, you must ravage it with all your strength. The heavier your hand, the better. According to my research, there are two circumstances that are beneficial to a soul master absorbing a soul ring after a soul beast dies. One is when the soul beast is filled with extreme resentment. The other is when the soul beast gives up hope of living and willingly allows itself to be killed."

Flender understood. "So you want me to hit hard and make the soul beast want to be killed sooner so it can be freed."

Flender smiled and teased, "Xiao Gang, for something like this, you should look for..."

Master naturally knew what Flender was about to say. A trace of helplessness and sorrow flashed deep in his eyes, and he frowned. "Don't say it."

"Sigh." Flender sighed and did not continue.

Tang San thought to himself, Looks like Teacher has a very heavy matter on his mind.

Ye Yu naturally knew whom Flender was referring to, but it was impossible for Master to seek her out right now.

Master continued, "These two situations not only allow a soul ring to be absorbed perfectly, but also remove the restriction of age limit. Moreover, there is almost a hundred percent chance of dropping a Spirit Bone."

Hearing this, Tang San said in surprise, "Then, if there's a Thousand-Year Soul Beast willing to let us kill it, it can be easily absorbed without suffering backlash?"

Master said, "Xiao San, according to the original plan, it will be enough for you to obtain a soul ring of around three hundred years. Although that is what the theory says, such a thing is almost impossible to happen. How could a soul beast be willing to be killed by someone and willing to have its soul ring absorbed? This is only an ideal state, or perhaps something that is simply impossible.

"As for making a soul beast's resentment reach the limit, the difficulty is also very great. If you want a soul beast's resentment to reach the limit, you must do it yourself. You cannot let an outsider help even a little, because that will disperse the soul beast's resentment. Under normal circumstances, the soul beast a soul master needs to hunt is stronger than the soul master, so hunting soul beasts generally requires help. Since I am having you match the best soul rings, the soul beasts you face will naturally be stronger than yourselves."

"I asked Flender to hit hard only because it might make the soul beast give up hope of living, making it a little easier for Xiao Yu to absorb. But in my heart, I still think it will be very hard to successfully absorb. After all, the soul ring's resentment will still be there, and that extreme resentment will not want you to successfully absorb the soul ring. So, having the first soul ring be a thousand years old is still impossible in my view. A narrow escape from death, or perhaps... certain death with no life."

Although Ye Yu had previously been confident enough to give it a try, Master was still worried, after all, the risk was too great. Having the first soul ring be a thousand years old had never been accomplished by anyone, and no one had ever dared to do it.

"Xiao Yu, do you still want your first soul ring to be a thousand years old? Your physique is different from ordinary people's. If it were five or six hundred years, perhaps you could."

Seeing Master's concern, Ye Yu said firmly, "I want to try. Although the risk is great, if I succeed, the gains will also be great. Besides, if my first soul ring isn't a thousand years old, then the goal I set for six years from now will be very hard to accomplish."

Master nodded and no longer tried to dissuade him. This was the last time he would try. In his heart, he could only pray that Xiao Yu would succeed later.

Flender was curious. "Xiao Yu, the goal six years from now? What is it?"

Ye Yu's gaze was resolute. "Six years from now, I'm going to hunt a ten-thousand-year soul beast!"

"What?" Flender staggered and nearly lost his footing. He froze on the spot, his face completely bewildered.

"Hunt a ten-thousand-year soul beast? This..."

Master and Tang San were not too surprised. Looking at the shocked and incredulous Flender, they sighed softly. "We're already used to it."

Flender felt that this was impossible. "Master said you're an auxiliary-type Artifact Soul Master. I've never seen any auxiliary-type Artifact Soul Master who could kill a ten-thousand-year soul beast at Level 30. Even killing a three-hundred-year soul beast, I've never heard of that."

Master said, "You don't understand Xiao Yu. Perhaps in the future, he will become the first combat-type auxiliary soul master, the kind of auxiliary soul master who can punch a soul beast to death."

Flender was surprised. "Since even you think so, then he will definitely become a combat-type auxiliary soul master in the future."

"All right, prepare to hunt soul beasts."

Master felt that he and Tang San should take action.

Flender asked, "Xiao Gang, how about I help you deal with a three-hundred-year soul beast while we're at it?"

Master shook his head. "No need. If we encounter one around three hundred years old, I'm confident I can handle it. You take Xiao Yu and continue deeper in to search for a Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

After Master finished speaking, his slightly dispirited eyes brightened, and he shouted in a low voice, "Come out, Luos an Pao."

Master crossed his hands before his chest. Two yellow soul rings appeared around him, and soul power rippled out from his body.

In the next instant, a creature appeared in front of Master. It looked like a dog, but its body was plump and chubby like a pig's. Its two fan-shaped ears drooped, and its pair of crystal-clear deep-blue eyes blinked and blinked, making it very adorable. When it walked, its chubby body swayed from side to side, its fat little rump wiggling left and right, while its four short little legs made its movements very slow.

Ye Yu felt that if Xiao Wu saw it, she would definitely pick it up and hug it at the first opportunity, because it was just too cute.

Ye Yu thought to himself, So this is Master's Martial Soul, Luos an Pao. It really does look a lot like Meng Qi.
