Soul Hunting: Choosing the First Soul Ring!

As Xiao Wu watched Lin En completely ignore her charm, a flicker of curiosity crossed her eyes.

This fellow was rather interesting...

Wang Sheng was the first to recover and said to Xiao Wu:

"That's right, this is Dorm Seven. This is our boss, Boss Lin!"

Lin En shot him a cold glance, staring until Wang Sheng began to squirm.

"Boss, this has always been the rule in Dorm Seven. Look..."

"I'm not interested," Lin En said coldly.

Wang Sheng gave an awkward smile.

Just then, Xiao Wu rescued him from the doorway, giving Lin En a sugary smile.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Wu. Wu as in dancing."

Lin En nodded indifferently. "I'm Lin En. Dorm Seven doesn't have that many rules. Just be yourself."

"Oh."

Xiao Wu hadn't expected to have the door slammed in her face again. She even began wondering whether her charm was really that pathetic.

She couldn't even tempt a little brat...

Lin En had no idea what she was thinking. He had only one thought right now: to obtain a soul ring as soon as possible and then test his conjecture.

But Xiao Wu soon realized that she didn't seem to have any bedding.

"Lin En, how about we discuss something? Why don't we share a set of bedding?"

"No. I don't want to."

Lin En rolled his eyes at her irritably. She wanted to snare a white wolf with her bare hands? What a beautiful dream!

Hearing his words, Xiao Wu felt rather annoyed and planted her hands on her hips.

"Then lend me some money. I'll buy some bedding first and pay you back later."

Thoughts raced through Lin En's mind. He slowly nodded and casually tossed Xiao Wu a Silver Soul Coin.

"All right, but I charge interest. You get nine and repay thirteen. If you can't pay me back in a month, the interest doubles!"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened at his words.

"Nine out, thirteen back? Are you robbing me?"

Lin En spread his hands. "Do you want it or not? Give it back if you don't. I don't even have enough for myself..."

He was already strapped for cash and currently had no good way to make money. He had to budget every penny carefully.

"Fine, I'll take it!"

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, spat lightly, and muttered a curse about Lin En being heartless before running out of Dorm Seven.

Lin En paid it no mind. After spending a while in the dorm, he headed to the academic affairs office again.

"Director Su."

Seeing that Director Su was still in the academic affairs office, Lin En walked straight in.

"Oh, it's you, little Lin. Is something the matter?"

Director Su spoke gently, his face full of solicitous concern, thinking that Lin En had run into some difficulty.

"Director Su, there's something I'd like the academy's help with."

Lin En bowed respectfully. He was still very warm toward Director Su.

"What is it? Whatever help you need, just ask!"

Lin En nodded slightly. "I'm already at rank ten, but I still need a soul ring."

"I wanted to ask whether the academy could arrange for a teacher to take me to the Soul Hunting Forest and help me obtain my first soul ring."

Director Su froze at his words, but quickly came to his senses.

That's right!

How had I forgotten about this? I should have arranged it for him when he first arrived...

Relief appeared on Director Su's face. Fortunately, Lin En had brought it up himself, or he really would have forgotten.

If failing to obtain his first soul ring kept delaying his cultivation, he would have squandered a genius!

At this thought, Director Su's expression immediately turned serious.

"Of course, no problem, little Lin. The academy can arrange that."

"But before you leave, could you tell me what you have in mind for your first soul ring? For example, what type of soul beast would you like to hunt?"

Lin En nodded slightly.

"I already thought it through before coming here, Director Su. I need a soul ring from a dark-attribute soul beast."

"A dark attribute?"

Director Su nodded thoughtfully. He only knew from Lin En's martial soul certificate that his martial soul could exist outside his body, but he didn't know its attribute.

From the looks of it now, it was probably a dark attribute!

After all, the more closely a soul ring matched one's own attribute, the greater the power it could unleash.

"All right. I'll arrange for a teacher to take you to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain your first soul ring."

"Thank you, Director Su."

Lin En nodded, then left the academic affairs office.

He returned to Dorm Seven.

Besides Xiao Wu, there was now another new face in the room.

The newcomer was none other than Tang San.

Lin En swept his gaze across the room, and the corner of his mouth immediately twitched. Xiao Wu had bought pink bedding.

It really did look out of place in Dorm Seven, which was full of men.

Just then, Wang Sheng ran over again and lowered his voice.

"Boss, another newcomer's here. Aren't you going to show off your authority as the boss?"

"I told you, I'm not interested. If you want to fight, do it yourself."

Lin En glanced at him and spoke coldly.

At this, Wang Sheng's face fell. "I did. I lost..."

"If you're bad, practice more!"

Lin En rolled his eyes, walked past Wang Sheng, and sat down on his bed.

Tang San had also finished making his bed by now. He sat on it, his eyes fixed on Lin En.

What exactly was this fellow's martial soul?

Tang San was very surprised, because he had already learned from Wang Sheng that Lin En's martial soul was a very peculiar creature that had defeated him in a single blow.

Although Wang Sheng wasn't as strong as him, even he couldn't have defeated Wang Sheng in one move.

This made him even more curious about Lin En!

The next day.

Early in the morning, a teacher from Nuoding Academy took Lin En to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a soul ring.

"You're Lin En, right? My name's Niu Dazhuang. Just call me Teacher Niu."

Niu Dazhuang was tall and powerfully built, with an honest, dependable smile that gave others a strong sense of security.

Lin En smiled slightly. "Teacher Niu."

"Let's go. The Soul Hunting Forest is some distance from Nuoding Academy. The sooner we leave, the sooner we'll be back."

With that, the two left Nuoding Academy in a carriage.

The Soul Hunting Forest wasn't particularly close to Nuoding City. Even by carriage, the journey would take quite some time.

Taking advantage of this time, Teacher Niu asked Lin En what kind of soul beast he wanted a soul ring from.

"Teacher Niu, anything is fine, as long as it has a powerful dark attribute!"

"A powerful dark-attribute soul beast, too? That won't be easy to hunt!"

After hearing Lin En's words, Niu Dazhuang sounded rather helpless.

His martial soul was called Azure Bull, and his soul power was rank twenty-seven. He could handle ordinary hundred-year soul beasts with power to spare, but against highly aggressive soul beasts, he would find his strength falling short of his intentions.

"It's fine, Teacher Niu. My martial soul can fight too. You just need to hold it off from the front. Leave the rest to me."

Lin En understood Teacher Niu's difficulties, so he didn't demand anything. It would be enough for him to do his best; Lin En would handle the rest himself.

After all, his Sageross already had considerable combat strength. If he sent both out together, he wouldn't fear even a thousand-year soul beast.

However, he didn't want to expose the fact that he possessed twin martial souls so soon.

After all, if some sly old bastard tried to ambush him while Sageross was away, Ingkaros would be the sternest father that bastard had ever known.
