Chapter 27 Tang 3, This Lonely Bamboo is Perfect for You
The carriage was parked on the outskirts of the Soul Hunter Forest. Compared to the torrential rain that day, there were an unusually large number of Soul Masters gathered at the entrance today.
The hawking was lively and bustling, and several teams even tried to recruit Xiao Yan and Tang San. Tang San naturally watched the scene with curiosity.
Xiao Yan patiently explained to him why these people were gathered here, and that he shouldn't take the fancy weapons on those display stands too seriously, as they were just using people as prey.
"Such a lively scene, and Xiao Wu didn't come."
This is the second time Tang San has mentioned Xiao Wu today. What a henpecked husband! Even Xiao Yan is about to lose his temper.
Yu Xiaogang followed behind them without saying a word, looking even more haggard than after absorbing the spirit ring.
"Brother, do you think this master will be alright? What if he goes back and becomes mentally impaired? Will the academy blame us?"
"Oh, it's alright. He brought it on himself. As a soul master's other heart, the martial soul is something that needs to be treated with care, but Grandmaster despises his own martial soul. If he realizes his mistake today, then it's his own fault."
Tang San nodded and handed the soul tool that Yu Xiaogang had just given him to Xiao Yan.
"What are you doing, mistress?"
"Brother, don't refuse. Although this was a gift from someone else, it is still mine. You are my only brother. Judging from the Master's reluctant expression just now, this belt must be no ordinary item. It's perfect for you."
"In that case, as your older brother, I will definitely find the most suitable spirit ring for you. I hope we can gain something from this trip to the Soul Hunter Forest."
Seeing that Tang San was genuinely giving it to him, Xiao Yan stopped refusing. He had originally planned to accept it first and borrow it another day to take it apart and see its internal structure.
"But mistress, next time someone gives you something, you can pretend to be polite and refuse it. I'll take it first, and you can give it back to me after they've disappeared. Otherwise, it's not very respectful to them."
As Xiao Yan spoke, he had already put the "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon" pendant on his waist. He checked the storage device with his consciousness and only found several large bags of radishes inside.
When they got off the carriage earlier, Yu Xiaogang specifically instructed Tang San to put those bags of white radishes inside.
"But this name is too awkward. Let's call it Twenty-Four Grottoes. Each bead is an independent storage space." Since it's his own stuff, he might as well change it to a name that's less ambiguous, even though the original name was quite elegant.
Xiao Yan patted his waist with satisfaction, then looked back at Yu Xiaogang. The other party seemed to have recovered a little. He wondered if Gangzi would improve after this lesson. If Gangzi humbly asked for advice, he would be willing to teach him how to break through the 30 mark.
However, his future prospects are still worrying. Every soul ring a soul master has to take seriously. Take Gangzi's first and second soul rings, for example; he's already wasted.
"These merchants are all very cunning. After all, being a Soul Master is a golden goose. You should be careful in the future." Yu Xiaogang wearily squeezed between the two children, put one hand on each of their shoulders, and gave them a seemingly caring reminder.
Yu Xiaogang has figured it out, but he's figured it out in the wrong direction; he doesn't want to work hard anymore.
He thought Xiao Yan's method of forging martial souls was utter nonsense. He was already old enough to be embarrassed to urge Luo Sanpao to run every day. Wouldn't that make him, as a master, a laughing stock in Notting City?
There are spies from the Spirit Hall in Notting City. If this gets back to Bibi Dong, he'll be ruined. Instead of improving himself, he should focus on Tang San and Xiao Yan now.
Although the two children stubbornly insisted that they were not his disciples, he had accepted the soul tool that he had kept close to him for so many years. Even if he was just a nominal master, he was still a master.
If Tang San and Xiao Yan are properly taught, it's not impossible for them to become Soul Saints or even Title Douluo masters in the future.
The next moment, Xiao Yan gently pulled away from the hand on his shoulder. After all, he and Yu Xiaogang were not that familiar with each other, and Tang San not only pulled away, but also patted his shoulder with great dissatisfaction.
Xiao Yan was dumbfounded. What had he done to his three sons? They seemed to have a stress response to Yu Xiaogang, and they even seemed to breathe on him like a giant ball beast.
At the outer gate of the Soul Hunter Forest, two soldiers were still guarding the place. They glanced at Xiao Yan and Tang San's Notting Academy uniforms and understood their purpose.
"This child needs to acquire a spirit ring, please allow him to pass."
When the captain of the guards checking the warrants saw the token handed over by Yu Xiaogang, his expression immediately changed. He bowed respectfully and ordered the other soldiers to make way for him.
Xiao Yan explained the level and usage of the token to Tang San, and even emphasized the pronunciation when introducing the blue lightning tyrannosaurus rex pattern on it.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang was walking ahead, so the two of them couldn't see his expression.
If Gangzi hadn't come along, he had planned to go to the Spirit Hall to get a temporary one.
He dared not casually take out the token that Tang Hao had given him. The Heavenly Dou Six Emperors' Token was like an ID card; if it attracted attention, his studies at the academy for the next few years would be disrupted.
After passing through the steel fence and entering the forest, the group stopped laughing and joking so much, and even lowered their voices when they talked.
Although it's almost impossible for there to be any powerful soul beasts on the outskirts of the forest, there's a risk of encountering groups of them. If they're attracted, dealing with them will be troublesome.
Don't be fooled by the fact that their team has one Soul Master and one Great Soul Master; the Great Soul Master's power might not even be as strong as their own Agumon.
"We're already inside the forest, so it's best to keep quiet to avoid attracting any powerful soul beasts," Yu Xiaogang instructed, turning his head to give instructions. He then half-squatted down and clasped his hands together on the ground.
"Come out, Luo Sanpao."
To Tang San's astonishment, a creature that looked like a dog and had the body of a pig appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
Fortunately, having already witnessed Xiao Yan's Rolling Ball Beast, Tang San was no longer surprised by beast spirits that were detached from the body.
After being summoned by Yu Xiaogang, Luo Sanpao affectionately nuzzled against Gangzi with his head, giving the impression that they hadn't seen each other for centuries. This was understandable, given that Yu Xiaogang rarely fought against Soul Masters or trained Luo Sanpao; it was normal that they hadn't seen each other for so long.
"Brother, you mentioned before that most of the soul beasts in this Soul Hunting Forest are no more than a thousand years old. Now that we're here, stop keeping me in suspense. Which soul beast should I hunt for my first soul ring?"
Aside from being initially drawn to the purple Luo Sanpao, the two of them stopped paying attention to Yu Xiaogang's actions.
"As I've told you before, what Blue Silver Grass needs most is to strengthen its strengths, which are the resilience and vitality I've repeatedly emphasized. Let's take a look around first."
It's not that Xiao Yan is trying to keep things mysterious; the forest is so vast that you can't just find any soul beast you want.
"Alright, let's call that master over and wander around for a bit."
Seeing that the two kids ignored him, Yu Xiaogang, led by Luo Sanpao, had already walked to the base of a lone bamboo stalk. He looked up and saw that it was at least a meter tall.
"Xiao San, there's a bamboo here that I think suits you perfectly!" Yu Xiaogang turned around and greeted Tang San and the other person, his face full of authority and confidence.
