Douluo: Soul Shadow King

Chapter 30 The future of the soul beast (I owe a chapter, four updates tomorrow...)

Time flies, two years later.

Cheng Xiao's soul power level has also exceeded level 20. Although he does not need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings like other soul masters, for the sake of safety, he still chooses to go for a walk in the soul beast forest, which is also for himself. The safety is guaranteed.

In the past two years, Cheng Xiao would go back to Chengjia Village every time he took a vacation, and Xiao Wu would go back with him. Because the butterfly flapped its wings, the relationship between Tang San and Xiao Wu was not as good as in the original timeline, but I can't say it's bad, I can only say it's a normal relationship between classmates.

Although Tang San had the intention to contact Xiao Wu, it was just the master's instruction. It was really embarrassing for him, a hidden weapon master who had never even seen a woman in his previous life, to win over the little girl's thoughts.

Although the relationship between Tang San and Cheng Xiao was somewhat estranged, it did not reach the point of breaking up. They would greet each other normally when they met. As for what happened in the Soul Hunting Forest, they both tacitly agreed not to mention it again. After all, once that incident is revealed, it is very likely that the two of them will completely break up.

This time when he set out to hunt for souls, Cheng Xiao did not ask the teachers from the college to follow him. He just rented a carriage with the gold soul coins he had saved for two years, and left Notting City with Xiao Wu.

Cheng Xiao didn't care that Xiao Wu wanted to follow him to hunt for souls. Anyway, he didn't need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings. Xiao Wu saw it when he saw it. Based on her thoughts, she would probably regard herself as a soul beast. The same kind of beasts.

"Cheng Xiao, what kind of soul beast are you planning to hunt this time?" Sitting in the carriage heading to the Star Dou Forest, Xiao Wu looked at Cheng Xiao sitting opposite her and asked curiously.

Looking away from the scenery outside the window, Cheng Xiao looked at Xiao Wu and said calmly: "Let's talk about it when we get there. I don't know yet."

Hearing Cheng Xiao's reply, Xiao Wu nodded slightly and immediately stopped talking. Holding her cheek with one hand, she opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

Cheng Xiao's answer obviously surprised Xiao Wu. She couldn't understand that Cheng Xiao, who had raised his seventh-level soul power in two years, had not yet chosen the soul beast he needed. You know, most soul masters would Mentally confirm the type and attributes of the soul beast in order to find a soul ring that suits you, so that you can find the soul beast you need as soon as possible.

"Cheng Xiao seems to be different from other soul masters. Maybe I can take this opportunity to tell him my identity." Xiao Wu thought in her mind, but soon she rejected the idea.

Notting City is too far away from the Star Forest. Even if you rent a carriage, it will take a long time to arrive.

Therefore, Cheng Xiao chose to spend his time in cultivation. Anyway, he could level up without hunting for soul rings. However, he had not yet condensed the second soul ring, so his soul power level had not yet been broken through.

…………

A week later, a carriage coming from Notting City stopped in a small town outside the Star Forest.

As night fell, seeing that he could not reach his destination today, Cheng Xiao gave the order to the driver of the carriage to rest and prepare to enter the Star Forest again tomorrow.

After entering the town, Cheng Xiao found that it was much livelier than Notting City, and its size was three times the size of Notting College. Except that there were no city walls or guards to guard the city, it was almost like an ordinary small city. Exactly the same.

The streets are lined with shops of all kinds.

Cheng Xiao knocked around casually and found that these shops mainly sell things related to soul masters and hunting soul beasts, such as those selling armor, shops selling detoxification and recovery potions, and even soul master clothing. It can be said that the stores have done things that only you can't think of, but they can't do it without them.

At this time, Xiao Wu pulled Cheng Xiao's arm, pointed to an inn in front and said, "Cheng Xiao, let's stay here tonight. I feel so tired after riding in a carriage for a week."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao nodded and immediately followed Xiao Wu into the inn.

After entering the inn, Cheng Xiao planned to get a double room, but Xiao Wu stopped him. According to her, we don't have much money now, so we can save whatever we can.

Cheng Xiao didn't pay much attention to this. After all, the two of them had been sleeping in the same bed for two years and there was nothing wrong with them. Let's just have a separate room.

"Cheng Xiao, let's have something to eat." Taking the room card handed over by the front desk, Xiao Wu hugged Cheng Xiao's arm and said coquettishly.

This week's carriage life was really tiring for her. Not only was she uncomfortable to rest, but she also had to eat solid food. Now that she finally had a good rest, of course she had to treat herself well.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao was a little helpless, but he still found a remote place to sit down with Xiao Wu and ordered the dishes.

After a while, the two of them walked up to the second floor after eating. After finding the open room, Cheng Xiao opened the door and walked in.

"Phew, I can finally sleep on the bed." Xiao Wu lay down directly on the bed. After riding in the carriage for several days, she was now able to lie down and sleep. It was not very comfortable.

Cheng Xiao glanced at Xiao Wu who was lying on the bed and said, "If you are tired, go to bed early. I will take a shower later. Tomorrow we will go to the Star Dou Forest to hunt the soul beasts."

When Xiao Wu heard about hunting soul beasts, Xiao Wu couldn't help but frowned, and said casually: "Cheng Xiao, do you think there is a way for the soul master to obtain soul rings without hunting soul beasts, thereby increasing the level of soul power? ?”

Cheng Xiao thought for a while and said, "There should be a way, right? If you can obtain soul rings and improve your level without hunting soul beasts, the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters must also be eased a lot."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up and she said: "So, is there a way to solve this problem? If it can be solved, the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters is no longer about killing and being killed. In that case, soul beasts and soul masters Maybe we can become good friends.”

Knowing Xiao Wu's thoughts, Cheng Xiao shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know whether we can become good friends, but have you ever thought about it, even if the problem of the soul master's soul ring is solved, what about the soul bone? The soul on the soul beast Bones are a good thing. Without the soul ring, the soul master will set his sights on the soul bone of the soul beast. When the time comes, it will not just be like hunting the soul beast to obtain the soul ring. "

"Now the Wuhun Palace prohibits the indiscriminate killing of soul beasts. Although they are also hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings, we have to admit that with the Wuhun Palace here, those soul masters who want to obtain soul bones from the soul beasts At least it will be more restrained.”

"If the Wuhun Palace does not prohibit the indiscriminate killing of soul beasts, I am afraid that the soul beasts will be hunted to extinction by soul masters within ten thousand years. Once the problem of soul rings is solved, then it is the soul bones. Without the soul bones, the soul Masters will also find ways to get other things from soul beasts. This is the cultivation law of this world, and it is not something you and I can change easily."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu fell silent. She clenched her fists tightly and her voice trembled, "Then Cheng Xiao... do you think soul beasts should be hunted by soul masters?"

"It doesn't matter whether I think it or not. As long as the cultivation system of this world does not change, the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters will never change. Soul masters need soul beasts' soul rings to improve their strength and become stronger. Soul beasts kill soul masters because if they don’t kill them, they will be killed.”

"But, if we compare the cultivation speed of soul beasts with the cultivation speed of soul masters, I'm afraid there will be no soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest in ten thousand years. Because the cultivation speed is not directly proportional, a soul master with good talent may only need to cultivate to the level of a titled Douluo. It will take decades, but if the soul beast wants to fight against humans, it will take ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years of soul beast. Based on this calculation, the soul beast will become an endangered species in the future, right?"
