Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo!

Whoosh!

Luo Fan stomped his right foot on the ground.

Immediately afterward, the earth beneath Luo Fan's feet exploded, blasting open a basin-sized crater!

At almost the same moment, Luo Fan's vision blurred. When it cleared, he had already gone from one side of the courtyard to the other, almost as if he had teleported.

The straight-line distance was roughly seven or eight meters.

"Not bad. This move is similar to the Body Flicker Technique. It's exactly what I need right now!"

After testing the Flash Soul Skill from his right-leg Soul Bone, Luo Fan nodded in satisfaction.

The distance was only seven or eight meters because his courtyard was only that large—not because that was the farthest he could go!

The activation of this Soul Bone skill placed relatively greater emphasis on physical strength.

One look at the huge crater on the ground was enough to tell him that. Forcefully stomping on the ground and using the rebound to achieve an instant burst of speed required an extremely powerful physique.

The stronger an impact his body could withstand, the farther he could Flash.

And wasn't that precisely his greatest strength?

With the Hashirama Senju template, Luo Fan's physique was absolutely formidable!

Moreover, Hashirama Senju in the original work possessed the Sage Body.

Even his cells alone contained an incredibly terrifying power.

Although his own Sage Body had yet to awaken, his physical qualities were still frighteningly strong!

Qian Renxue had probably understood this as well, which was why she had chosen this right-leg Soul Bone for him.

On one hand, it suited his powerful physique.

On the other hand, the Flash Soul Skill was exactly what he needed most.

Although it was only a twenty-thousand-year Soul Bone, in Luo Fan's eyes, it suited him even better than a Soul Bone over fifty thousand years old!

He wanted to test the limits of how far he could Flash, but doing so in the city would be inconvenient.

As luck would have it, tomorrow was the day he and Su Yuntao had arranged to go hunting for soul beasts. With this Soul Skill, he should be a few more degrees safer!

And besides...

Luo Fan's gaze lingered over the basin-sized crater.

On the surface, this Flash Soul Skill was a movement skill.

But what if he activated it with his foot planted directly on someone else's body?

Hiss... Could this Soul Skill occasionally be used as an offensive skill, too?

It was quite practical.

The next day, after Luo Fan met up with Su Yuntao, they headed together toward the Sunset Forest outside the city.

In the original work, the Sunset Forest had been an extremely important place!

After all, Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located in the Sunset Forest, and that place was filled with immortal herbs!

Putting everything else aside, just the Lovesick Heartbreak Red alone—which could help Xiao Wu conceal her soul beast aura—was something Luo Fan desperately wanted!

After leaving the city, they walked for a little over an hour before arriving.

However, after searching the forest all morning, they had found mostly century-level soul beasts.

Although they had also encountered several millennium-level ones, none of them were what Su Yuntao wanted.

By noon, they had worked up quite an appetite. Luo Fan and Su Yuntao found an open area, intending to rest and eat something to restore their strength.

Su Yuntao had originally planned to take two black loaves of bread from his pack.

But when he saw Luo Fan take an entire cleaned lamb from his storage pouch,

along with flour—and even tables, chairs, pots, bowls, salt, MSG, cumin powder, chili powder, and all sorts of other seasonings—Su Yuntao silently withdrew the hand he had extended into his pack.

Then?

Luo Fan set up a grill, coated the whole lamb in seasoning, and placed it over the fire.

As the flames licked at it, a layer of fat was soon roasted out.

Luo Fan sprinkled on more cumin powder and chili powder, bringing out the aroma.

Su Yuntao inhaled deeply.

Th-This smells incredible!

"Luo, Luo Fan, is that bag of yours a Soul Tool?"

Seeing Luo Fan take out so many things from the cloth bag hanging at his waist, Su Yuntao could not help asking.

"Mm, that's right. It's a spatial storage Soul Tool!" Luo Fan nodded.

"Then... are all the things inside your Soul Tool food and cooking equipment?" Su Yuntao asked, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Spatial storage Soul Tools were extremely valuable. Didn't Soul Masters usually keep important things inside them?

But what was he supposed to make of pots, bowls, and other cookware?

"This Soul Tool was given to me by the Second Prince. It has quite a lot of space, so I casually put some things inside. That way, eating is more convenient when I travel!" Luo Fan replied casually.

A hundred cubic meters was indeed enough to hold a great deal. Luo Fan was very satisfied.

"This doesn't look convenient at all!" Su Yuntao remarked as he watched Luo Fan's movements.

"Then put it this way: when traveling, I can eat better," Luo Fan corrected him.

Put that way, it was indeed true!

Luo Fan spread the roast lamb out into one large piece and kept turning it over. The aroma grew increasingly rich.

Then a few drops of fat fell into the flames with a sizzle, making the fire leap even higher.

When the lamb was almost done, Luo Fan mixed flour, eggs, water, and some seasonings in a basin, making a bowl of batter.

He then brushed oil onto a flat-bottomed pan.

Spoonful after spoonful of batter was placed on the pan and fried.

It took about half a minute to fry one thin egg pancake.

From a single basin of batter, Luo Fan fried seventy or eighty pancakes, each roughly the size of a plate!

"Luo Fan, there are so many. Can the two of us finish them?"

Su Yuntao looked at the roast lamb beside them, then at the seventy or eighty pancakes, and asked in puzzlement.

With his appetite as an ordinary person, he would probably be full after eating four or five of these pancakes.

Adding the roast lamb, this was enough food for at least a dozen or even twenty people!

"I can eat quite a lot," Luo Fan replied casually.

With the Hashirama Senju template, Luo Fan's physique was extremely powerful—but maintaining that strength required food.

Just as Naruto Uzumaki had an enormous appetite, Luo Fan naturally ate a great deal as well.

Whenever Xue Qinghe and the others came over to freeload a meal, Luo Fan ate most of the pot of rice by himself.

Luo Fan had finished frying dozens of pancakes, and the roast lamb was nearly done as well.

In the forest roughly a hundred meters away, a figure happened to be passing by.

The figure looked to be around fifty years old. He had a short beard and wore a suit of emerald-green armor.

Suddenly, his steps paused slightly. At the same time, the tip of his nose twitched a few times.

He looked toward Luo Fan and Su Yuntao, his eyes lighting up faintly. "What an incredible smell of roast meat!"

Then he changed direction and walked straight toward Luo Fan and the others...
