The Great Sun Golden Crow Begins to Show Its Might

After earnestly comforting Tang San, Yu Xiaogang returned to his attic, his expression changing as he began to curse under his breath.

"A mutated Martial Soul, the Three-Legged Fire Crow. As expected, it's far stronger than the useless Blue Silver Grass. If I want Little San's Blue Silver Grass to defeat Su Chen's Three-Legged Fire Crow, it seems I'll have to make greater use of my astounding wisdom..."

At that moment, a powerful surge of Soul Power wrapped around a token and flew in through the window, landing on the desk before Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang jumped in fright and looked uncertainly out the window.

A tall, sturdy figure wrapped in a black robe stood there.

Only half of his face was visible. His complexion was sallow, his beard unkempt, and he looked rather disheveled.

He spoke. "Master, I'll entrust my son to your guidance. He bears a blood feud as deep as the sea. I hope you will guide him with care."

Even with only half his face visible, Yu Xiaogang recognized him.

Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

After all, what fan would fail to recognize his idol?

Ever since seeing Tang San's second Martial Soul, Yu Xiaogang had harbored his suspicions. Now that he had met the man himself, he trembled with excitement.

"Your Excellency, rest assured. I will pass on everything I have learned in my life to Little San and make him the second genius in history to successfully cultivate Twin Martial Souls."

Tang Hao gave a slight nod.

Then, with a flash, he vanished.

Tang Hao was not Tang San's nanny. He still had to go back to drink and sleep. How could he have time to follow Tang San around every day?

In Tang Hao's eyes, with Su Chen serving as a whetstone to pressure him and Yu Xiaogang, this master, guiding him, Tang San would grow rapidly over the next few years.

At the same time, with the help of moonlight essence, Su Chen sensed that the pressure shrouding Nuoding Academy had finally dissipated completely.

Tang Hao is gone!

I finally don't have to hide anymore!

Su Chen left the dormitory, leaped onto the rooftop in a few flashes, and began fiercely absorbing the moonlight essence.

The moonlight flowed like silk, cleansing his body and mind and allowing his soul to grow.

Even the circulation of his Soul Power had improved by roughly fifty percent.

Perhaps because the Lunar Jade Rabbit was too active, Xiao Wu, who had originally fallen asleep, woke up and followed the scent to the rooftop.

When she saw Su Chen, she nestled against him.

Xiao Wu blinked, her eyes filled with attachment, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.

Ever since her mother died, she had not slept this peacefully for a long time.

Days passed one after another!

Su Chen never attended classes at the academy. During the day, he held a book borrowed from the library and basked in the sun at the back of the mountain. At night, he held Xiao Wu and basked in the moonlight on the rooftop.

In truth, he went to the rooftop alone every night, but whenever he woke up the next morning, there would always be one more person in his arms.

Su Chen had chased Xiao Wu away several times in annoyance, but she only laughed and never took it to heart.

Even when Su Chen scolded her until tears welled in her eyes, Xiao Wu still pressed close to him and burrowed into his arms.

Eventually, Su Chen could only let her do as she pleased.

Time flew by, and a year and a half passed like this.

Su Chen successfully broke through to level 20 Soul Power.

He was only seven and a half years old!

At the same time, Tang San had only reached level 17 Soul Power. Su Chen's cultivation speed was twice as fast as Tang San's.

Principal Gao Lu was both shocked and delighted, and he prepared to take Su Chen to the Soul Hunting Forest to find his second Soul Ring.

Su Chen voiced an objection. He did not want to hunt for a Soul Ring in the Soul Hunting Forest, as the varieties of soul beasts there were not abundant.

He wanted to go to a larger soul beast forest.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

It was the largest soul beast forest on the Douluo Continent. It had a rich variety of soul beasts, but danger lurked everywhere.

As the principal of a junior Soul Master Academy and merely a Soul Ancestor, Gao Lu instinctively did not want to risk venturing into a dangerous place like the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, the academy had produced a genius. If he, as principal, did not spare every effort to nurture him, he would be ridiculed by his peers.

Gritting his teeth, Gao Lu set off with Su Chen, intending to try their luck on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After wandering around the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest for two days without finding a suitable soul beast, trouble arrived first.

Su Chen and Gao Lu unexpectedly encountered two golden-armored guards in the forest, escorting a girl with flowing golden hair, exquisite features, and a long court dress.

This was not unusual. Encountering other soul-hunting teams in the Star Dou Great Forest was perfectly normal.

The two golden-armored guards warily swept their eyes over Su Chen and Gao Lu, but were first stunned by Su Chen's exceptional appearance.

Su Chen was simply too handsome, not at all inferior to the girl in the court dress they were guarding.

Seeing that they posed no danger, they relaxed.

They prepared to escort the girl away from there.

But!

Su Chen's Great Sun Golden Crow Martial Soul began to exert its influence!

The girl stared unblinkingly at Su Chen with her long, beautiful eyes.

Just then, she had felt a tremor from her Martial Soul.

Like concave meeting convex, the wondrous complementary nature of their Martial Souls made them look at each other.

Su Chen also reacted somewhat. The Great Sun Golden Crow was a divine bird born from the sun. Once it matured, it could command the authority of the sun.

And that girl's Martial Soul should also command part of the sun's authority.

Qian Renxue!

Su Chen recognized her!

Even if the two golden-armored guards were merely a coincidence, the only Martial Soul Su Chen could think of that could resonate with the Great Sun Golden Crow was the Six-Winged Angel.

Ignoring the urging of the two golden-armored guards beside her, Qian Renxue parted her red lips and spoke in a voice as pleasant as spring water, extending a rather friendly invitation.

"Old sir, little friend, we are all here in the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls. Meeting is fate. Why don't we travel together?"

One of the golden-armored men immediately asked in confusion, "Young Master?"

Qian Renxue gave him a look, making him swallow all the words he had wanted to say.

Gao Lu was also an experienced veteran. In a soul beast forest so far removed from human society, let alone strangers, even companions hunting souls together had to be guarded against.

If a Soul Bone appeared, even the closest of companions would wish to stab each other in the back.

He would not casually agree to travel with others just because of one invitation from Qian Renxue.

Gao Lu gave a dry laugh and politely declined.

"There's no need to trouble yourselves. We have already finished hunting souls and are preparing to leave the Star Dou Great Forest."

Qian Renxue chuckled. Her looks were already peerlessly beautiful, and her smile made her even more breathtaking.

"Old sir, I understand your concerns. But if we truly meant you harm, you would not be able to resist at all."

As Qian Renxue spoke, the two golden-armored guards beside her cooperatively released their pressure.

In an instant, even the air seemed to become viscous.

Gao Lu felt his breath catch as a mountain-like pressure descended upon his shoulders, making his body tremble involuntarily.

He silently cried out in misery!

In an ordinary soul-hunting forest, his Soul Ancestor cultivation would have been enough for him to run rampant.

But this was the Star Dou Great Forest. Any soul-hunting team encountered at random could consist of high-level Soul Masters who were usually as elusive as divine dragons.

That was precisely why Gao Lu had not wanted to come to a place like this.

Now that he had encountered beings he could not afford to provoke, there was nothing he could do. Gritting his teeth, he said with a forced smile,

"Then the two of us will have to trouble you."
