Chapter 16
: "Missing Person Notice"
[Score: 43. You were born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and were adorable from a young age. As you grew up, your intelligence became apparent. You awakened the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, with innate soul power at level seven, catching the eye of the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi. You grew up with Ning Rongrong, who fell in love with you. Ning Fengzhi immediately sent you away. You then met Dugu Yan, and you became engaged to her. You consumed immortal herbs together, but ultimately, after the Advanced Soul Master Competition, you were imprisoned by Pope Bibi Dong… You were just rescued from the secret chamber by Dugu Yan when Tang San killed you. As a support soul master, you were too weak to control your own destiny.]
[Reward: 8 Destiny Points, Millennium Soul Ring.]
Fang Yuan's expression turned even uglier as he looked at the goods he had received this time.
Although they obtained the soul rings they desperately needed.
but……
The next time the fate point starts at 8 o'clock, it's unlikely that I'll become a god, let alone a titled Douluo.
The purple spirit rings unfolded in a circle centered on Fangyuan.
Fang Yuan also summoned his Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul, and its dazzling light illuminated the entire room.
The first soul skill attached to this thousand-year soul ring is called Holy Light Feather Arrow. When the martial soul is attached to the body, the bright wings behind it can launch hundreds of arrows formed by light feathers to shoot at the enemy. Combined with the flight ability of the Bright Phoenix martial soul, it can be both offensive and defensive.
Seeing the effect of this soul skill, Fang Yuan finally felt a little comforted.
However, it was already dark, and after three consecutive simulations, it was now past midnight.
Fang Yuan looked at the Fate Point, which had dropped to 8, and ultimately decided not to continue the simulation.
He feared that continuing down this path would lead to a life of being a beggar, a good-for-nothing, and a fool.
Calm your mind and force yourself to fall asleep.
·············
The next day, while it was still barely light, Fang Yuan woke up on time because of his biological clock.
Looking at his dilapidated yet tidy home, he suddenly remembered that he had awakened his martial spirit and activated his cheat ability to become a soul master.
"It's time to leave here." Fang Yuan looked at the villagers who had already gotten up to work and planned his future.
As an orphan, Fang Yuan had no relatives, so he simply said goodbye to the village chief, gave some items he no longer needed to the villagers who often helped him, and then packed his things to leave.
The village chief escorted Fang Yuan to the village entrance, still trying to dissuade her, "Xiao Yuan, why don't you stay in the village? Wasn't that plot of land to the left of your village just reclaimed?"
In the village chief's view, Fang Yuan's martial soul is just an ordinary chicken martial soul without innate soul power, so he can't become a soul master. He also has no money and is so young. If he goes out like this, it's hard to say whether he can support himself.
If you stay in the village, at least the villagers will give you food so you won't starve. It's a different story outside.
"Village chief, thank you for your help over the years, but I still want to go out and see the world."
"Sigh! You child..." Seeing Fang Yuan's determined look, the village chief swallowed back the words he was about to say.
There have always been people in the village who are unwilling to accept their fate and want to become Soul Masters and venture out into the world.
These people's hearts don't belong here; they can't be kept here.
·····················
However, after Fang Yuan left.
Su Yuntao, who had just left, rushed back.
As soon as he arrived in the village, he went to the village chief's house and anxiously asked, "Village chief, where does that child named Fang Yuan from yesterday live?"
The village was acting strangely, wondering why Su Yuntao, a Soul Master, had suddenly returned and was looking for Fang Yuan.
However, Su Yuntao was a deacon of the Spirit Hall who came to the village every year to help the children awaken their spirits. The village chief naturally trusted him and immediately replied, "Fang Yuan left early the day before yesterday. I wonder if the Spirit Master has something to discuss with Fang Yuan?"
Su Yuntao was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this answer. He didn't keep him in suspense and said, "The Spirit Hall is currently looking for some children named Fang Yuan. It is said that they plan to send them to Spirit City for special training."
"Even if the martial soul is a useless martial soul without innate soul power, being sent to Martial Soul City for training is a good thing. In the future, they can find some good jobs and live in the city."
After hearing this, the village chief was filled with regret. "If I had known there would be such a good thing, I should have stopped Fang Yuan the day before yesterday. Sigh!"
However, it was too late to say anything now. After a few words, the village chief bowed to Su Yuntao and thanked him, saying, "I am very grateful that the Soul Master was able to think of Fang Yuan immediately upon hearing this news. It's a pity that Fang Yuan is not fortunate enough to receive such a blessing."
Su Yuntao waved his hand, not caring, "Since that's the case, then forget it."
Two days have passed since he left, and no one knows where Fang Yuan went. Su Yuntao is not going to search for him like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"If that child returns, you can tell him this good news, and I can try to see if I can still send him to Wuhun City."
The village chief was deeply moved upon hearing this and immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Of course. If that child returns, I will definitely tell him this good news right away, but then I will have to trouble the Soul Master."
"It's nothing, I have other things to do, I'll be going now." After explaining the matter, Su Yuntao also had things to do, so he immediately said goodbye and left.
·························
After leaving the village, Fang Yuan waited on the only road leading in and out of Nottingham City.
He calculated that Xiao Wu entered Notting Academy after Tang San.
This is the best time to ambush them. If Tang San and Xiao Wu meet later, they will definitely be exposed to Tang Hao, and it will be much more difficult to kill them then.
With the simulation scores getting lower and lower and the rewards getting worse, Fang Yuan naturally cared a lot about the opportunity of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.
However, after staking out the city for several days, Fang Yuan was heading into town with his savings to buy supplies when he saw a missing person notice for "Fang Yuan" with a generous reward of 10,000 gold soul coins.
However, apart from a name, appearance, age, and everything else are unknown.
Fang Yuan immediately decided that it would be better to use a pseudonym when he was out and about.
Boys also need to protect themselves.
····························
For the next two months, Fang Yuan meditated and cultivated while keeping watch over Xiao Wu.
In the middle, Fang Yuan saw an old man and a young boy walking towards them. Both of them wore tattered clothes full of patches. The boy had an ordinary face, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp. He also acted with a natural and generous manner, unlike the cautious and timid villagers of this era. Fang Yuan immediately confirmed that the old man and the young boy were Old Jack and Tang San.
"Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at Notting Academy on the same day, but Xiao Wu arrived a little later." Knowing that their target would be arriving soon, Fang Yuan immediately perked up and became even more attentive in his surveillance.
