On the Carriage Meng Daming had just taken a few days off from the academy.
“Dad, are we going to the Star Dou Great Forest?” “No, not there.
It’s too dangerous.
We’re heading to the Hunting Soul Forest, 400 li northwest of Notting City.
It’s a good place, and we won’t encounter very powerful soul beasts.” “I’m really looking forward to my first soul skill.
What should I capture as my soul ring?” A trace of hesitation appeared on Meng Tao’s face.
Sleeping on his lap was the Zhu Xian.
“The best choice is naturally pig-type, followed by ferocious beast-type.
Like Fanged Pig, Bloodthirsty Mad Pig, Iron Armor Splitting Pig…
all are good choices.” On the road, father and son discussed.
“Dad, tell me again about your days adventuring outside.” “Ten years ago, I was full of spirit and vigor.
In our family for several generations, only I had soul power and became a soul master.
But our family was poor and couldn’t afford soul master academy, so I worked while learning from those students.
After a few years, I reached the tenth level.
But with my own strength, I didn’t dare to hunt soul beasts.
So more time passed.
At fifteen, I finally saved enough money.
With the help of two Great Soul Masters, I obtained my first soul ring.
Perhaps because of accumulated strength, I reached the nineteenth level in four years.
Then I went to hunt a soul ring again, this time alone.
It was a life-or-death battle!
If I hadn’t happened to meet the Spirit Hall’s law enforcement team who protected me, I don’t know if I could have survived.
After that, I fought continuously in the Battle Soul Arena.
At that time, I was known as the Mad Pig!” “Then what?” Meng Daming’s eyes seemed to be recalling something, as if returning to the past.
He participated in deathmatches because he had hit a bottleneck.
He had been stuck at the twenty-ninth level for too long and wanted to use life-and-death battles to break through his limits.
However, he still couldn’t do it.
In that battle, he was beaten half to death.
Just when he thought his life would end like this, he met Chun Jiao, that lovely woman.
Chun Jiao took him home to take care of him.
Their feelings rapidly warmed.
He fell in love with Chun Jiao and gave up the so-called soul master path.
Chun Jiao also opened a steamed bun shop.
Afterward, he entered Notting City Primary Soul Master Academy as a teacher.
One night passed.
The next day, at a market 100 li away from the Hunting Soul Forest.
Meng Tao put Zhu Xian away.
Father observed the people around him.
Seeing his father’s actions, Meng Tao said, “Aren’t we going in yet?” “I plan to recruit one or two people to help.
Bringing just you, this stinky kid, I don’t have confidence.” My dad is too cautious.
But that’s not bad either.
“Control-type soul master available, missing one person.” The speaker was also a young man.
“Let’s go over and take a look.” Meng Daming’s face showed joy.
Meng Daming and the man discussed something.
Both nodded, seemingly reaching a price that satisfied both sides.
“Deal done.
Let’s go over.” After checking that their items were complete, they walked toward the Hunting Soul Forest.
After showing their tokens to the soldiers at the entrance, they entered.
On the way, through conversation, he learned that this person named Chen Bufan was also a Great Soul Master, currently at the twenty-sixth level.
His martial soul was Wind Willow Tree, with soul rings: one white and one yellow.
Afterward, they began heading toward a location slightly closer to the center.
After about one or two hours, they discovered some footprints.
“This feces seems to have the scent of a Roaring Pig.” “Let’s go take a look.” Meng Tao was somewhat nervous because he was finally about to have close contact with a soul beast.
He also thought back to the magical animals he had just seen, different from those on Earth.
“The Roaring Pig’s power lies in its roar that can shock people’s hearts.
As long as its mouth is closed, its combat power will be greatly reduced.” “Its fangs are over 30 centimeters long.
It’s probably around two hundred years old.
Little Meng, your first soul ring will be this one.” “Understood,” Chen Bufan replied.
Prepare for battle.
“Little Meng, stay by Big Brother Chen’s side.” Martial soul possession.
A willow tree over two meters tall appeared beside Meng Tao.
“Climb up with me,” Chen Bufan said.
So the two climbed the tree.
Chen Bufan took out the bow on his back.
Meanwhile, Meng Daming was in the bushes nearby, waiting for Chen Bufan’s signal.
Meng Daming now looked much stronger than usual.
He was about 1.9 meters tall, with hair reaching his shoulders.
His nose was slightly upturned, and two teeth were exposed, making him look like a zombie.
His right hand was clenched in a fist as he adjusted his breathing.
Two yellow soul rings flickered around him.
This caution every time he hunted soul rings had allowed Meng Daming to obtain good soul rings.
On the other side, Chen Bufan said, “First soul skill: Crazy Growth!” Only the willow branches on the tree grew wildly.
They had already extended to the ground, and several particularly long ones slowly reached toward the Roaring Pig.
Second soul skill: Binding!
The willow branches moving slowly on the ground suddenly pounced madly toward the Roaring Pig, wrapping around it tightly several times.
Humph humph.
The Roaring Pig struggled wildly, trying to break free from the willow branches on its body.
But the willow branches held it tightly, especially wrapping its mouth multiple times.
Ah, Chen Bufan also showed difficulty on his face.
The opponent’s strength was very great!!
Meng Daming charged.
First soul skill: Savage Charge.
Meng Daming’s speed increased rapidly.
His right arm bent as his whole body pounced like a wild boar.
At the same time, he used his second soul skill: Bloodthirsty Frenzy.
His elbow struck toward the Roaring Pig’s neck.
With a humph, the Roaring Pig fainted.
“Little Meng, come quickly!” Meng Tao took out a sharp dagger.
He took a deep breath.
“Become my power, Roaring Pig.” The dagger in his hand stabbed into the eye area.
Humph humph.
The Roaring Pig suddenly let out a miserable cry, but it was useless—it was just a final struggle before death.
Soon after, a yellow soul ring emerged from the Roaring Pig’s body.
“Use your soul power to guide the soul ring.
Yes, that’s right.
Prepare to begin.” “Absorb this soul ring.” The two adults cleaned up the corpse while protecting Meng Tao.
Meng Tao summoned Zhu Xian.
Zhu Xian lay face-to-face with him.
Meng Tao used his soul power to guide the soul ring, drawing it to his hand.
Then, like during cultivation, he sat up with his hands clasped together.
Zhu Xian also magically closed its eyes.
Meng Tao quickly absorbed the soul ring.
Inside his body, he suddenly discovered the soul ring circling, like a planetary belt around a new moon.
After looking for a long time and finding no problems, he exited this state.
He opened his eyes and found the two adults discussing something.
As he stood up, his body made crackling sounds.
Every time he absorbed a soul ring, it was a rebirth experience.
Now he had become a soul master.
His body had also grown much taller.
Looking at Zhu Xian, it appeared even more extraordinary.
Its original length of over 30 centimeters had doubled.
Two sharp fangs had grown from its mouth corners.
The original brown fur on its body had all turned black, looking like a black whirlwind.
It had become stronger, but also uglier.
Zhu Xian let out a menacing roar.
“Roar!” The two adults were startled.
“Little Meng, you’re awake.
How was it?
Did it go smoothly?
What is your first soul skill?” Chen Bufan looked at the wild boar and then at Little Meng, feeling it was impressive.
He now knew that Meng Tao’s martial soul was a variant.
“My first soul skill is called Intimidating Roar.” “The effect is just like what you saw earlier.
It makes the enemy feel fear.
This is my first soul skill.” The three of them left the Hunting Soul Forest together.
Meng Daming paid the reward and prepared to leave this place and return home.
Chen Bufan watched the two gradually walking away.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that this child would have immeasurable achievements in the future.
But?
What did that have to do with him?
He just wanted to rest well now, then go enjoy himself in the evening.
Hehe, Little Baihe must be missing me.
On the other side, Meng Daming looked through the carriage window at the child riding the pig ahead.
Sigh.
He didn’t know how this child would fight in the future either.
If he had taken him to the Spirit Hall back then, it might have been a better choice.
Outside, Meng Tao was still enjoying the pleasure of riding the pig.
“Hahaha, charge!!!”
