Guzhu and Yu Xiaogang

Chapter 19 Guzhu and Yu Xiaogang

Yu Tianheng has been suffering a lot these past three months.

The pride of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect prevented him from attacking those of lower rank than himself, which meant he could only watch Li Xun and Dugu Yan interact every day.

But there was nothing they could do.

He had come up with many countermeasures, but they were all useless. Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo were still more affectionate towards Li Xun than he was.

However, Li Xun will soon be at the same level as him. If the two have a conflict, he will have a legitimate reason to spar with Li Xun. Then he can take the opportunity to kick Li Xun out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Tianheng thought so.

The Soul Hunting Forest of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

A huge carriage slowly drove up on the official road.

"So this is the Soul Hunter's Forest!"

Ning Rongrong poked her head out of the carriage: "I heard that the soul beasts inside are all raised by the Empire, is that true?"

"Yes, and ordinary people need a warrant to get in." Qin Ming nodded.

"Do we need a password too?"

"No need for that. All teachers and students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy can enter for free."

As the group chatted, the carriage slowly came to a stop.

Many low-level Soul Masters gathered at the entrance of the Soul Hunter Forest.

Some of these Soul Masters help others acquire Soul Rings for profit, while others are unwilling to spend money and slowly form teams to hunt Soul Beasts.

When Li Xun stepped down from the carriage, he was greeted by a bustling scene.

"Let's go."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the gate.

The others quickly followed.

The Soul Hunting Forest was of a very low level, and Li Xun didn't see many old soul beasts along the way.

I've seen quite a few people from Guzhu over the past ten years.

Coincidentally.

Guzhu is precisely Li Xun's target this time.

But it wasn't the ten-year-old Lone Bamboo that the master found for Tang San; he was looking for the thousand-year-old Lone Bamboo.

Bamboo is often overlooked, which leads to a lack of understanding about it.

It is actually one of the fastest growing plants in the world.

Under natural growth conditions, its fastest record is growing more than one meter per day.

Moreover, it has an extremely strong reproductive ability; as long as there is one bamboo, it can turn into a bamboo forest in a few years.

After careful research, Li Xun discovered that Guzhu (孤竹) also possesses the above two characteristics, and also has the quality of being tough.

"Xiao Xun, isn't Gu Zhu too ordinary? Should we change to a different soul beast? For example, perhaps a poisonous one, to add some unique characteristics to your martial soul?"

Qin Ming turned to Li Xun and said.

He didn't know before he arrived that the soul beast Li Xun was going to hunt was Guzhu.

Qin Ming had seen Li Xun's first soul skill.

According to his perspective.

Although Li Xun's first soul skill has a wide range, its control is very weak, and at most it can restrict the opponent's movement.

Even if you manage to hit your opponent by chance, the thorns on the sapling won't cause much damage.

What role can a sapling that is only half a meter tall play in a battle?

That's why he thought of adding some poison or something else to the saplings.

"Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Qin Ming, but I have been studying Guzhu for a long time. Besides, absorbing a soul ring of the same attribute will help improve the quality of my martial soul."

Li Xun smiled and declined Qin Ming's offer. He never cared about short-term gains; the path of a Soul Master was long, and he needed to take a long-term view.

Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up when he heard the two talking, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

He had never heard of any noble soul master choosing Guzhu as their soul ring. This thing had neither attack nor special characteristics; even if it grew there, it would just be a target.

Even an ordinary person with an axe can chop down a bamboo that is ten or even a hundred years old.

However, he was happy to see Li Xun choose this as his second spirit ring.

"Once you obtain your second spirit ring, we'll be spirit masters of the same level. I hope you won't be too weak then." Yu Tianheng looked at Li Xun's back.

"Little brother Li Xun, are you really going to choose Guzhu as your soul ring? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should be able to offer you a better option, right? If all else fails, I'll go find Grandpa and have him take you to Sunset Forest to choose one."

Dugu Yan frowned slightly and said with some worry.

"What do you know? My brother has his reasons for choosing this, and my father and Grandpa Jian don't object." Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and looked at the expressions of the group, her little face puffed up with anger.

These guys thought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was deliberately mistreating her brother.

Little did they know that Li Xun possessed twin martial souls, so there was no need to worry about him lacking offensive options. His father had also said that Li Xun's choice of development path for his first two spirit rings might have been the right one.

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt happy. That's right! They don't know that Brother Li Xun has twin martial souls!

Li Xun felt exhausted by this.

I should have known better than to agree to let them come along; now he has to explain himself again and again.

Just as the group was discussing, a furious shout suddenly came from afar.

"A bunch of level 10 wolves dare to act so arrogantly in front of me! Three shots, prepare!"

"His farts are like thunder, deafening and earth-shattering."

Boom—

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

A tremendous roar came from afar.

Li Xun was stunned: "Luo Sanpao? Master Yu Xiaogang?"

This incantation is so famous that he swears it's unique among Soul Masters.

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan were startled by the sound.

He quickly moved closer to Li Xun.

Compared to the reactions of others, Yu Tianheng was extremely excited.

"Teacher, can we go in that direction?" Yu Tianheng asked, trembling, pointing in the direction the voice came from.

"Is it someone you know? I have no problem with that, but I'll have to ask Xiaoxun first."

Qin Ming glanced at Yu Tianheng in surprise.

Li Xun shrugged indifferently.

He naturally knew what Yu Tianheng was thinking at this moment: "I have no objection. There are plenty of places in Guzhu. It's good to go there and take a look first."

Besides, he also wanted to meet the master.

If he wasn't mistaken, Tang San should be there at this time.

"It seems that Yu Xiaogang and the others are here to help Tang San obtain his second spirit ring."

Li Xun thought to himself.

Two years ago, in order not to fall behind Tang San, he cultivated chakra during the day and meditated on soul power at night. He almost died suddenly.

My situation only improved after I learned how to control my distractions in the first six months of the year.

Now that he knew Tang San was on the same level as him, he felt both relieved and slightly anxious.

Having decided to go and see, the group headed toward the source of the sound.

Not long after.

Three figures appeared before everyone's eyes.

Two adults and one child.

One of them, one large and one small, was wearing masks and watching another person in the distance deal with the ghost vine. There were also three wolf-shaped soul beast corpses around them, which appeared to have been killed by having their throats slit.

"uncle!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man wearing a mask, Yu Tianheng excitedly exclaimed.

Li Xun followed Yu Tianheng's gaze.

With his short hair and full beard, Yu Xiaogang's classic look is easily recognizable.

"Then this one next to me is Tang San, the God King Tang."

Tang San had not yet undergone the Blue Silver King's plastic surgery at this time, so he was not particularly outstanding in appearance.

"Who are you?"

Yu Xiaogang and his two companions were somewhat surprised to see the group of people who had suddenly arrived.

Yu Tianheng excitedly stepped forward: "Uncle, it's me, Tianheng!"
