Shocking: A Thousand-Year First Soul Ring?

Soul Hunting Forest was not very far away. It was a soul beast forest raised and managed by Spirit Hall, mainly intended for low-level soul masters to hunt soul rings!

If others came, they would naturally need something like a pass.

But Su Yuntao himself was from Spirit Hall. Bringing Luo Fan here was merely a matter of a single word from the bishop of Notting City's Spirit Hall.

"Luo Fan, although Soul Hunting Forest mainly contains soul beasts under a hundred years old, you can occasionally spot some at the thousand-year level!"

"Most importantly, you need a plant-type soul beast. Comparatively speaking, fewer soul masters hunt those!"

"As for the Twin-Bloom Lotus you mentioned, there is a lake in the center of Soul Hunting Forest. You should be able to find it there!"

Su Yuntao brought Luo Fan into Soul Hunting Forest, explaining things to him as they walked.

Luo Fan silently nodded, feeling that asking Su Yuntao for help had indeed been the right choice.

The soul beasts in Soul Hunting Forest were raised by Spirit Hall, so Su Yuntao naturally had firsthand information about the place!

Sure enough, after walking for less than half a day, the two arrived at a large lake in the heart of the forest!

Quite a few soul beasts came here to drink, while many aquatic plant-type soul beasts and aquatic soul beasts lived in the water as well!

After searching for a while longer, they finally found a thousand-year Twin-Bloom Lotus soul beast!

Having made the necessary preparations long ago, Su Yuntao took out some fire oil and splashed it over the creature, igniting it before combining that with his own combat strength.

Though it took some effort, the battle ended without any real danger.

After all, Su Yuntao was level 27. Plant-type soul beasts were generally less aggressive than animal-type ones, and they had prepared fire oil to suppress it.

After Luo Fan went up and delivered the final blow, a purple soul ring appeared as expected.

Luo Fan sat down cross-legged and began guiding himself to absorb this thousand-year soul ring!

As the purple soul ring settled onto him, Luo Fan felt pressure bearing down on him, as if an ordinary person had two huge sacks of rice piled onto their body.

The pressure was considerable, but Luo Fan could still endure it and absorbed the ring in an orderly manner!

Su Yuntao stood to one side, guarding Luo Fan. At the same time, watching Luo Fan truly absorb a thousand-year soul ring, disbelief filled his eyes.

Before setting out, he had tested Luo Fan's physique. It was even stronger than his own as a level 27 Soul Grandmaster, so in theory, Luo Fan should have been qualified to absorb a thousand-year soul ring!

But theory was theory, and reality was reality.

Watching someone absorb a thousand-year soul ring right before his eyes still felt like a dream.

Innate Full Soul Power, with a thousand-year first soul ring—no matter how he looked at it, Luo Fan was an unmatched prodigy!

But when he thought of Luo Fan's useless Blue Silver Grass martial soul, Su Yuntao calmed down somewhat!

Still, it would be best to report this matter!

If he had previously been certain that Luo Fan's useless martial soul could never grow stronger—

Now, Su Yuntao felt that Luo Fan might still have a chance.

If so, then he was worth taking seriously!

He did not know how much time had passed, but Luo Fan could feel that the soul ring's power had finally been slowly absorbed completely!

At the same time, his Soul Power Level, which had been stuck at level 10, rose steadily. It crossed the thresholds of levels 11 and 12, directly reaching level 13.

"As expected of a thousand-year soul ring. Most people only get a thousand-year ring as their third soul ring, but mine was the first. It actually raised me three levels in one go!"

Feeling his Soul Power surge to level 13, Luo Fan marvelled inwardly.

"Congratulations, Luo Fan. Your first soul ring is already a thousand-year one!" Seeing that Luo Fan had truly absorbed it successfully, Su Yuntao stepped forward to congratulate him.

"I also have to thank you for your help, sir!" Luo Fan thanked him politely.

"Ah, calling me sir is too distant. From now on, call me Brother Yuntao!" Su Yuntao waved his hand at Luo Fan's form of address.

"Alright, Brother Yuntao!" Luo Fan nodded along with the suggestion.

"Good. Let's head back. Since you've called me brother, if there's ever anything I can help you with, just come find me!" Su Yuntao nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright!" Luo Fan replied.

Strictly speaking, Luo Fan had given him the method of using Whale Rubber to strengthen his physique, while Su Yuntao had helped him hunt his first soul beast. It was a transaction!

But since Su Yuntao had said this, he clearly still wanted to befriend him. Naturally, Luo Fan would not refuse!

After all, as a great man once said, make more friends and fewer enemies!

After returning directly to Notting City, the two went their separate ways.

Along the way, Su Yuntao and Luo Fan talked about many things, but Su Yuntao never once asked what Luo Fan's first soul skill was. He truly knew where to draw the line.

By the time Luo Fan returned to the academy, it was already dark. Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and several other roommates were all there.

"Luo Fan, you're back! How did your soul ring hunt go?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when she saw Luo Fan return, and she asked curiously!

Likewise, Wang Sheng and the others gathered around curiously!

Before obtaining a soul ring, Boss Luo had already been so powerful. Now that he had gained his first soul ring, wouldn't he be even stronger?

"Mm, everything went smoothly. By the way, where's Tang San?" Luo Fan looked around the dormitory, did not see Tang San, and asked curiously.

"Him? He heard you went to hunt a soul ring, so he also went with Grandmaster to Soul Hunting Forest to get one!" Wang Sheng answered.

Hearing that, Luo Fan did not say anything more.

Still, Tang San would probably obtain the skill called Motherly Entanglement, just like in the original story, right?

Actually, a plant-type martial soul like Blue Silver Grass already possessed entangling abilities. In Luo Fan's eyes, wasting a skill slot specifically on an entangling skill was simply a loss!

It was like a fire-type martial soul getting a burning-type soul skill. Wasn't that completely redundant?

But forget it. Even if he said something, Tang San would not listen, and might even fall out with him. What could he say?

"By the way, Luo Fan, what is your first soul skill?" Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes and asked Luo Fan curiously.

"My first soul skill isn't an offensive one, nor is it a defensive one. It should count as a support-type skill, one that can assist my cultivation," Luo Fan casually explained.

Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Fan raised his hand and revealed his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Then, a purple soul ring emerged!

First soul skill, Wood Clone Technique!

The stalk of Blue Silver Grass rapidly grew wild, and before long, four figures of Luo Fan appeared.

In appearance, these four wood clones were no different from Luo Fan himself.

After all, even the Sharingan in the original Naruto could not distinguish a solid wood clone from the original body.

After releasing the four wood clones, they all consciously walked to Luo Fan's bedside, sat down cross-legged, and began meditating to cultivate!

Seeing Luo Fan's first soul skill, everyone in Dorm Seven was completely stunned!

"P-purple soul ring? Am I seeing this right?"

"Th-this is a thousand-year soul ring!?"

"How is that possible? His first soul ring is already a thousand-year one? That's way too monstrous!"
