9: Star ForestTime flies, and a year has passed quietly.
At Nottingham Junior College, one semester lasts for one year, during which students are not allowed to go home. Relatives can come to visit, but they cannot enter the college.
During this school year, Lin Chuan worked extremely hard.
His soul power had already been cultivated to level ten, but he was not in a hurry to hunt for soul rings.
Not to mention that there is no one to help, it is quite dangerous to go alone. Even if you don't get the spirit ring, your spirit power will still be accumulated, so there is no need to be too anxious.
Now, I finally have some confidence.
[Name]: Lin Chuan
[Soul Power]: Level 16
[Blessing]: God rewards hard work (Blessing from the will of the blue star, no pain, no gain, hard work will definitely be rewarded)
[Skill]: Soul Meditation LV3 (214/1000)
[Skills]: Archery·Subtlety (321/1w), Spearmanship·Basic (513/1000), Swordmanship·Subtlety (475/1w), Boxing·Basic (533/1000), Body Movement·Subtlety (133/1w), Observation Haki Level 1 (334/1000)...
That's right!
After a year of hard training, Lin Chuan made remarkable progress.
Not only did his archery, swordsmanship, and body skills successfully break through to the next level, but he also successfully awakened his Observation Haki. No life breath within a kilometer could escape his perception.
Even his soul power had reached level 16!
In just one year, he had broken through from level 7 to level 16, a full nine levels higher.
If others knew about this, it would definitely cause an uproar, and they might even slice him up for research.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan is very low-key and others don't know his specific situation at all.
But it's time to go hunting for spirit rings!
"Xiaochuan, tomorrow is a holiday, are you going home?"
Seeing that other roommates were quietly packing their luggage, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Lin Chuan shook his head gently, "I plan to stay in the academy and practice well. I probably won't go home this time."
Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's great!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.
Xiao Wu, however, looked unaware, with her hands on her hips, "Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu have gone to take the intermediate spirit master exam, and the others have to go home, leaving me alone in school with no one to play with. It's too boring. Fortunately, you are here."
Is the result due to this reason?
Lin Chuan rolled his eyes helplessly and then didn't bother to say anything else.
"I'm not staying here to play with you. I'm far behind, so I have to take this opportunity to practice hard."
"Got it, I won't bother you."
Xiao Wu waved her hand nonchalantly.
This little girl has always been fearless, and having been the boss for so long, she is almost going crazy.
Fortunately, what Lin Chuan said last time did have a certain effect.
At least Xiao Wu is still practicing seriously every day, and her strength is steadily improving.
It's a pity that it didn't develop in the direction that Lin Chuan had envisioned.
In comparison, Xiao Wu seems to have a better relationship with him. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Almost at the moment when the two people finished their conversation, the aura within Lin Chuan's perception range disappeared instantly, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Tsk, is Tang Dachui so idle? He likes to eavesdrop on children's conversations. As expected, he got too close to Xiaowu. If this continues, the other party will probably be unable to resist making a move. It looks like he's going to find a chance to slip away."
Lin Chuan's eyes flickered as he thought to himself.
Early the next morning.
The students of Notting College left the school one after another, and only Lin Chuan and Xiao Wu were left in Dormitory 7. The campus instantly became deserted.
Lin Chuan stayed in Notting College obediently for two days. During this period, he would occasionally run out of Notting College and pretend to wander around. However, Wen Se Bai Qi was always sensing the surroundings. Finally, he was sure that the familiar breath had disappeared.
It seems that Tang Dachui does not stay in Nottingham all the time.
Run away!
With almost no hesitation, Lin Chuan rented a carriage and left Nottingham quietly.
The journey was smooth, but before Lin Chuan could breathe a sigh of relief, another familiar aura approached rapidly and soon stopped the carriage.
"Xiaochuan, come out!"
This rogue rabbit is really haunting!
Lin Chuan couldn't help but spit secretly and lifted the car curtain, "Xiao Wu, why are you here?"
Xiao Wu snorted coldly, "Humph, if I didn't come, you would run away. You are really too mean. You clearly agreed to stay in the academy, but you sneaked away without saying a word. This is too much. If I wasn't smart, I would have let you succeed!"
"I'm going to hunt souls. I'll be back when I succeed."
"I don't care, I'm going with you!"
Xiao Wu jumped onto the carriage without saying anything, looking like she was going to pester the man.
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he nodded and said, "Come up!"
"Very good!"
The girl cheered and quickly got into the car.
"Xiaochuan, where are we going to hunt souls?"
Xiao Wu leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery outside excitedly, and asked casually.
"Maybe I should go to the Star Dou Great Forest... After all, I don't have the Spirit Hall's warrant, so I can't enter the Soul Hunting Forest. I can only try my luck outside the Star Dou Forest."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This was also what Lin Chuan had planned long ago.
The original plan was to go to Sunset Forest, but since Xiao Wu is coming along, the plan can be slightly changed.
After all, Sunset Forest is close to Tiandou City.
There are many Titled Douluo in that place. If he is unlucky and accidentally runs into them, Xiao Wu's identity will be discovered. Her death will be secondary, but Lin Chuan himself must not be implicated. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the Star Dou Great Forest is safer.
"Going to the Xingdou Great Forest? Sure, sure. I haven't been back for a long time... um, I mean, I've never been there either. I heard there are a lot of soul beasts there, and I've wanted to go see them for a long time!"
Xiao Wu covered herself up in panic, feeling a little scared.
I almost let it slip again.
In response to this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle, pretending that he didn't notice it.
The carriage was a little bumpy, but the experience was still new. After all, it was the first time for both Lin Chuan and Xiao Wu to ride in this thing.
It took about ten days to successfully reach the destination.
The Xingdou Great Forest is one of the three most famous soul beast gathering places on the Douluo Continent. Its area is almost equal to the land area of the Barak Kingdom. It spans the borders of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, with two-fifths of it being within the Tiandou Empire and three-fifths within the Xingluo Empire.
Perhaps it is because of this that the name "Xingdou" came into being.
In addition, the Star Forest is a huge primeval forest with complex internal terrain and wetlands and swamps.
Due to the large variety of soul beasts, this is also a place that most soul masters frequent.
To be honest, Lin Chuan has always had a question.
Notting City is located in the northwest of Douluo Continent, so far away from the Star Dou Great Forest. After Xiao Wu successfully transformed into a human form, how did she manage to go to such a remote place to go to school?
Of course, this problem can only be buried deep in my heart.
"We're finally here!"
Lin Chuan jumped off the carriage first and looked around.
Feedback came from the observation Haki, one mile away, there were many powerful auras, it could be said that there were good and bad people mixed together, far from what a small Notting City could compare to.
That should be the market outside the Star Forest.
However, Lin Chuan had no intention of entering, but stayed away from it.
"Let's go in quickly!"
Maybe it was because she was home, Xiao Wu seemed particularly excited at this moment.
Lin Chuan naturally did not hesitate. He took her with him and deliberately avoided the crowd and entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
Compared to Xiao Wu's excitement and leisure, Lin Chuan was extremely alert.
Unlike the Soul Hunting Forest, a forest of artificially raised soul beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest is extremely dangerous. Even in the outer areas, there are thousand-year-old soul beasts.
Even the most common thousand-year soul beast has enough combat power to rival that of a three-ring soul master.
Not to mention, many soul beasts are social creatures. If you are not careful and walk into the territory of a social soul beast, you may die without knowing how.
