Chapter 9 Star Forest
Time flies, and a year has passed quietly.
In Notting Junior College, a semester is a year, and students are not allowed to go home during this period. Relatives can come to visit, but they cannot enter the college.
During this school year, Lin Chuan worked very hard.
His soul power has long been cultivated to level ten, but he is 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 soul ring, your soul power is still accumulating, so there is no need to be too anxious.
Now, I am finally sure.
[Name]: Lin Chuan
[Soul Power]: Level 16
[Blessing]: God rewards hard work (Blessing from the will of the blue star, you get what you sow, and your efforts will definitely be rewarded)
[Skills]: Soul Power Meditation LV3 (214/1000)
[Skills]: Archery·Subtlety (321/1w), Gun Skill·Basic (513/1000), Sword Skill·Subtlety (475/1w), Boxing·Basic (533/1000), Body Skill·Subtlety (133/1w), Observation Haki LV1 (334/1000)...
That's right!
After a year of hard training, Lin Chuan made great progress.
Not only did his archery, sword skills, and body skills break through to the next stage, but he also successfully awakened his Observation Haki. The life breath within one kilometer could not escape his perception.
Even his soul power reached level 16!
In just one year, he broke through from level 7 to level 16, a full nine levels higher.
If others knew about it, it would definitely cause an uproar, and they might even slice him up for research.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan was very low-key, and others didn't know his specific situation at all.
However, it was time to go hunting for soul rings!
"Xiao Chuan, tomorrow is a holiday, are you going home?"
Seeing that the other roommates were quietly packing their luggage, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask curiously.
Lin Chuan shook his head gently, "I plan to stay in the academy to practice well, and I probably won't go home this time."
Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's great!"
"What's good about it?" Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.
Xiao Wu, however, looked unaware, with her hands on her hips, "Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu and the others went to take the exam for intermediate soul masters, and the others also had to go home, leaving me alone in school, and no one to play with me, it would be too boring, fortunately you are still here."
Was it because of this reason?
Lin Chuan rolled his eyes helplessly, and then he didn't bother to talk nonsense.
"I'm not staying here to play with you. I'm lagging behind so much, so I have to take this opportunity to practice well."
"Got it, I won't bother you."
Xiao Wu waved her hand nonchalantly.
This little girl has always been fearless, and she has been the boss for so long, she is almost going crazy.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan's words last time also had a certain effect.
At least Xiao Wu is still practicing seriously every day, and her strength is also steadily improving.
It's a pity that it didn't develop in the direction that Lin Chuan had imagined.
In comparison, Xiao Wu seems to have a better relationship with him, and I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Almost at the moment when the two people finished talking, the breath within Lin Chuan's perception range also disappeared instantly, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
'Tsk, is Tang Dachui so idle? He likes to eavesdrop on children's conversations when he has nothing to do. Sure enough, he is too close to Xiao Wu. If this continues, the other party may not be able to help but take action. It seems that he will find an opportunity to slip away. ’
Lin Chuan’s eyes flickered, and he was thinking about it.
Early the next morning.
Students from Notting College left the school one after another, leaving only Lin Chuan and Xiao Wu in the entire dormitory seven, and the campus instantly became deserted.
Lin Chuan stayed in Notting College for two days. During this period, he occasionally ran out of Notting College and pretended to wander around. However, Wen Se Ba Qi was always sensing the surroundings, and finally confirmed that the familiar breath had disappeared.
It seems that Tang Da Chui is not always in Notting City.
Run away!
Almost without hesitation, Lin Chuan rented a carriage and left Notting City quietly.
The journey was calm, but before Lin Chuan could breathe a sigh of relief, another familiar breath quickly approached and soon stopped the carriage.
"Xiao Chuan, come out!"
This rogue rabbit is really haunting!
Lin Chuan couldn't help but spit secretly and lifted the curtain, "Xiao Wu, why are you here?"
Xiao Wu snorted coldly, "Hmph, if I didn't come again, you would run away. You are too mean. You clearly agreed to stay in the academy, but you sneaked away without saying a word. It's too much. If I wasn't smart, I would have let you succeed!"
"I'm going to hunt souls, and I will come back after I succeed."
"Then I don't care, I want to go with you!"
Xiao Wu jumped on the carriage without saying anything, with a posture of pestering.
Lin Chuan was silent for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Finally, he nodded, "Come on up!"
"Great!"
The girl cheered and got into the car quickly.
"Xiao Chuan, where are we going to hunt souls?"
Xiao Wu lay by the car window, looking at the scenery outside the window excitedly, and asked casually.
"Maybe we'll 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."
This was also what Lin Chuan had planned long ago.
At first, he was going to go to the Sunset Forest, but since Xiao Wu was with him, the plan could be slightly changed.
After all, the Sunset Forest is close to Tian Dou City.
There are many Titled Douluo there. If Xiao Wu's identity is discovered by chance, her death would be secondary, but Lin Chuan himself should not be implicated. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the Star Dou Great Forest is safer.
"Go to the Star Dou Great Forest? Okay, okay, I haven't been back for a long time... Uh, I mean, I've never been there either. I heard there are many soul beasts there, and I've wanted to see them for a long time!"
Xiao Wu was a little panicked and covered up, and she was scared.
She almost let it slip again.
In response, Lin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle, but pretended not to notice.
The carriage was a little bumpy, but this experience was fresh. After all, it was the first time for both Lin Chuan and Xiao Wu to ride this thing.
It took about ten days to successfully reach the destination.
Xingdou Great Forest is one of the three most famous soul beast gathering places on Douluo Continent. Its area is almost the same as the land area of Barak Kingdom. It spans the borders of Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire. Two-fifths of it is in Tiandou Empire and three-fifths is in Xingluo Empire.
Perhaps it is because of this that there is the name "Xingdou".
In addition, Xingdou Great Forest is a huge primeval forest with complex internal terrain, wetlands and swamps.
Due to the large number of soul beasts and the tolerance of thousands, this is also a place where most soul masters often come.
To be honest, Lin Chuan has always had a question.
Notting City is in the northwest of Douluo Continent, so far away from Xingdou Great Forest. How did Xiao Wu run to such a remote place to go to school after successfully transforming into a human form?
Of course, this question can only be buried in the bottom of my heart.
"Finally we're here!"
Lin Chuan jumped off the carriage first and looked around.
The observation Haki sent feedback. A mile away, there were many powerful auras, which could be described as a mixture of good and bad people, far from what a small Notting City could compare to.
That should be the market outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, Lin Chuan had no intention of entering it, but stayed far away.
"Let's go in quickly!"
Perhaps because she was home, Xiao Wu seemed particularly excited at this time.
Lin Chuan naturally did not hesitate, and took her along, deliberately bypassing the crowd and entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
Compared to Xiao Wu's excitement and leisure, Lin Chuan was extremely vigilant.
Unlike the soul hunting forest, which was a man-made captive soul beast forest, the Star Dou Great Forest was very dangerous. Even in the outer area, there would be thousand-year soul beasts.
Even the most ordinary thousand-year soul beasts had combat power comparable to that of a three-ring soul master.
Not to mention, many soul beasts were social creatures. If one was not careful and walked into the territory of a social soul beast, he would not know how he died.
