“Fine, I already have a teacher.
A teacher for a day is a father for life, and I will not take you as my master.”
Tang San said it resolutely.
Seeing that Tang San’s attitude was so resolute, and looking at Fang Yuan aside who was crossing his arms and sneering, faintly radiating a powerful Aura, Yu Xiaogang finally decided to follow his heart for once and give up on Tang San, the Disciple of his dreams.
He glanced coldly at the two of them, and once again asked towards the student dormitory: “Is there a student named Xiao Wu here?
I wonder if she is willing to be my Disciple?”
In this cohort’s student roster, Tang San was not the only one born with full Soul Power; there was also a female student named Xiao Wu.
Although Xiao Wu’s Martial Soul was the Soft Bones Rabbit, not extreme in its weakness like Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass where one could almost instantly tell he possessed Twin Martial Souls, she was still a Genius born with full Soul Power regardless.
Settling for second best, Yu Xiaogang could also accept it.
Right now, he urgently needed a Genius Disciple to practice his teaching philosophy and vindicate his theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls.
However, after seeing the farce between him and Fang Yuan just now, no one would possibly apprentice to him at this time.
“Scram, scram, scram!
There is no one named Xiao Wu here!”
Xiao Wu cursed under her breath, reached out and pulled Tang San and Fang Yuan into the dormitory, and then slammed the door shut.
“Bang!”
Amidst the splashing dust was Yu Xiaogang’s dull expression.
Inside the dormitory, the students looked at the unfamiliar Tang San and Fang Yuan with curiosity written all over their faces, but hindered by the fact that Fang Yuan was older than them, they didn’t dare to step forward and greet them.
Fang Yuan had nothing to say to this group of six or seven-year-old children.
After confirming that Yu Xiaogang had left outside the dormitory door, trembling with anger every three steps, he also prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he patted Tang San’s head and said to Tang San: “The academy’s opening ceremony is tomorrow, and classes officially start the day after, but none of these are the most important.
Your Soul Power has reached the time to absorb a Soul Ring.
Tomorrow, I will take you to obtain a Soul Ring first so that you can continue to Cultivate.”
Feeling the caress of the warm large hand, Tang San respectfully agreed: “Alright, Teacher.”
Xiao Wu, who was in the middle of the students, stiffened slightly in expression and turned her head away somewhat unnaturally upon hearing the words to obtain a Soul Ring.
After Fang Yuan left, the other students finally gathered around, curiously sizing up the expensive-looking bedding and food box in Tang San’s hands, and began asking questions left and right.
The next day.
Just as the sky was faintly bright, Fang Yuan had already brought Tang San out of the gates of Notting Academy.
“Teacher, where are we going to acquire a Soul Ring?”
On the way, Tang San asked with a tone of thinly veiled excitement.
His Soul Power had long reached level ten, and he was able to acquire a Soul Ring.
Before obtaining his first Soul Ring, no matter how he Cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San felt that his Soul Power had not improved by the slightest bit.
Out of a desire for strength, his anticipation for a Soul Ring could be said to have reached its extreme.
Turning his head to look at the expectant Tang San, Fang Yuan said indifferently:
“The Soul Hunting Forest near Notting City is a large-scale breeding farm, and the quality of the Spirit Beasts is too poor, so there might not be a Spirit Beast suitable for you.
Because the age of the Soul Ring is low, the first Soul skills consumes the least Soul Power and is generally the most commonly used skill for a Spirit Master.
Therefore, it is very important and cannot be dismissed with just any random Spirit Beast.”
“As for the Star Dou Great Forest, it is a bit dangerous again.
Therefore, this time we are going to Sunset Forest.
The types of Spirit Beasts there are richer than the Soul Hunting Forest, and it is not as dangerous as the Star Dou Great Forest.
It is to the east of Heaven Dou City, and you can reach it by passing through the Vikes Rock Plain from Notting City.”
Hearing Fang Yuan’s well-reasoned words, Tang San nodded convincedly.
However, what Fang Yuan didn’t tell Tang San was that, besides the reasons mentioned before, there was another very important point for choosing Sunset Forest: the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Well.
Within the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Well, there existed a large number of immortal-grade herbs, which could be called a treasure trove.
A single immortal-grade herb could transform a Spirit Master with mediocre talent into a Genius who attracted all attention.
However, such a treasure trove was currently treated as an ornamental garden by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Having nothing to do, he would go inside to pick up some fragmented roots and tree bark to chew on, relying on the characteristics of the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Well to suppress the poison within his own Martial Soul—simply wasting heavenly treasures.
If possible, Fang Yuan intended to see if he could enter the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Well and select some immortal-grade herbs suitable for himself and Tang San to take away.
Although his knowledge in medicinal materials could not be called all-knowing, it didn’t matter; wasn’t there Tang San?
As a demon from beyond the heavens, Tang San had studied the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record in his original World and could distinguish all kinds of rare treasures and exotic grasses in the World.
Although Fang Yuan didn’t know how Tang San, in his previous life in a low-martial World playing with cold weapons, could have records of medicinal herbs from this Xuanhuan World of Douluo Continent.
The floor tiles of Xuanhuan were still Xuanhuan, and it was hard to imagine being porcelain-touched by a World where throwing iron pieces and flying needles were used as means of attack.
However, Fang Yuan’s life experience was extremely rich.
He had even witnessed Worlds where people manipulated superpower bugs to fight in melee battles, so naturally he wouldn’t be unable to accept this kind of setting.
From Notting City to Sunset Forest, one almost had to traverse the entire Slevis Kingdom, and the distance was still quite far.
With Fang Yuan’s cultivation as a six-ring Soul Emperor, traveling there was not a difficult task, but bringing Tang San along was different.
Therefore, after the two left the academy, they did not head directly out of the city.
After purchasing some travel essentials, Fang Yuan led Tang San to the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Notting City, and relying on his six-ring cultivation, rented a carriage pulled by a Spirit Beast Pegasus at the Martial Soul Branch Hall.
The Pegasus was extremely fast.
Fang Yuan and Tang San rode the carriage, traveling day and night until they arrived in Heaven Dou City.
After handing the Spirit Beast Pegasus and the carriage over to the Spirit Masters in the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Sanctuary, Fang Yuan replenished some supplies in the city and then led Tang San on foot toward Sunset Forest.
Sunset Forest was very vast in area and was one of the largest Spirit Beast gathering places in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Fang Yuan led Tang San all the way through the outer perimeter.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few Spirit Beasts with cultivation at the century and millennium levels, but these Spirit Beasts, hindered by Fang Yuan’s Soul Emperor Aura, did not actively attack the two of them.
Along the way, Fang Yuan displayed rich field survival experience, as well as knowledge in identifying Spirit Beasts and plants.
Benefiting from several hundred years of life experience across his lives, Fang Yuan’s experience was naturally extremely seasoned, far surpassing Tang San, who was only in his thirties when adding up his two lives.
There were also gaps between demons from beyond the heavens.
While searching for Spirit Beasts, he used practical actions to impart knowledge and teach Tang San by personal example as well as verbal instruction.
The two marched all the way, and the direction they chose was heading toward places where the Aura of life grew stronger and stronger.
As he walked, Fang Yuan told Tang San about the path he had chosen for him.
“Your Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, is spread all over the continent.
It looks unremarkable and has no special features.
But being able to adapt to different environments in different regions is already enough to show the greatest characteristic of Blue Silver Grass, which is tenacious vitality.”
“The path I have chosen for you is to absorb Spirit Beasts with life attributes to enhance the vitality of the Martial Soul itself.”
