"Green water and green mountains are as valuable as gold and silver. The Xingdou Great Forest is indeed the largest soul beast forest on the continent. It's much bigger than ours."
Sixty miles away from the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Hongchen, who was in disguise, was holding a telescopic soul guide and looking into the distance, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation of admiration.
"Yes, no wonder the soul masters of Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek are so powerful. There are countless soul beast resources here, and the reserves of natural treasures are abundant. It is much stronger than ours."
Xuan Ziwen, who was also in disguise, looked into the distance with emotion, relying on his cultivation as an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.
There are countless rare metals on the Sun-Moon Continent, but the natural treasures and soul beast resources are far inferior to those in Douluo Three Kingdoms, otherwise soul guides would not have been developed so vigorously.
At this time, Xiao Hongchen noticed that there was one less voice agreeing with him. He glanced at Xu Tianxi's figure and asked in confusion:
"Old Xu, what are you doing with the soul detection device? We are about to enter the Star Forest."
"If you want to enter the Star Forest, you must explore the surrounding situation."
Xu Tianxi put away the detection equipment, gave Xiao Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen a "all is well" smile, and waved:
"Let's go, I'll lead the way."
"No one has been here before, so why are you leading the way?" Xiao Hongchen muttered to himself as he jogged to keep up with Xu Tianxi.
Xu Tianxi looked at the other party's honest footsteps, shook his head and smiled: "It's enough to be more familiar with you. I have been prepared for this operation."
As early as the trip to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion more than a year ago, he had the evil soul master leave an imperceptible sensor soul guide on Huo Yuhao.
With the help of that sensing soul guide, he could sense Huo Yuhao's position and locate him accordingly. Just now, he had already found Huo Yuhao's position.
"That's good. By the way, have you seen what that great opportunity is? We have come all the way here, we can't go there in vain, right?"
Xiao Hongchen was reassured by Xu Tianxi's answer, and then asked about the biggest question in his mind.
He asked Xu Tianxi many times along the way, but the latter was always vague.
Xu Tianxi shrugged his shoulders and shook his head gently: "I didn't see it too clearly, I just know it might be related to my martial spirit. This time I came here to try my luck. If I can get it, that's the best. If not, there's nothing I can do."
In terms of conditions, he is definitely far superior to the current Huo Yuhao, but he is not sure whether he can intercept Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Alex.
If Tianmeng Ice Silkworm still wanted to choose Huo Yuhao, there was nothing he could do; let alone Alex, that was an undead disaster that almost massacred the continent.
"Well, let's just take this trip as a chance to relax and have fun."
Xiao Hongchen held his head in his hands, a leisurely smile appearing on his face.
"It just so happens that I'm about to break through level 50. If I come across a suitable soul beast, I can ask Teacher Xuan to capture it."
Suddenly he thought of something and turned his head to tease Xu Tianxi: "Oh, by the way, you are almost at level 39, right? You should work hard, because I won't wait for you when I become a Soul King."
Xu Tianxi's expression remained calm as always, and he said lightly, "If you can break through, just do it. I don't need you to wait. After all, even if you break through, you may not be my opponent."
His current soul power is at the peak of level 38. At the age of twelve, he can be called a genius of his generation, but compared with his previous training speed, it is much slower.
The influence of the ultimate martial spirit was indeed not small. He had not slacked off for more than a year. He took the Soul-Upgrading Pills and also had a few Mysterious Water Pills as snacks, but his soul power did not increase by more than four levels.
However, everyone believed that he devoted most of his energy to learning to be a soul master, and no one suspected that there was something wrong with his soul power training.
We already have a level 5 soul master, so why do we need a soul master? We should not be too greedy.
"Stop looking down on me. I will beat you sooner or later!" Xiao Hongchen said angrily.
"My second soul skill and level 5 soul guide shells do not allow you to be so confident."
"You, your fighting style is too shameless..."
Xu Tianxi smiled calmly, and Xiao Hongchen was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he could do nothing about it.
Just as Xu Tianxi said, his second soul skill was too outrageous. As long as he turned on the invisibility, Xiao Hongchen would have nowhere to find him, and no matter how powerful his soul skill was, he couldn't hit anyone.
As long as Xu Tianxi is given enough time to set up the gun mount for the fifth-level fixed-type soul guide artillery shells, the Soul Sage strongmen who fail to dodge in time will most likely be blown to death. This is the terrifying power of the fifth-level fixed-type soul guide artillery shells, which far exceeds the vast majority of seventh-level soul guide devices.
Normally, no soul guide would be so extravagant, and would not dare to use fixed-type soul guide shells easily, because it is easy to be targeted and attacked by the opponent, but Xu Tianxi is not normal.
Not only can he become invisible, he can also manually assemble soul-guided shells, and firing them is free of charge.
That is to say, fixed-type soul guide shells are not allowed to be brought onto the ring, otherwise no student in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy can withstand Xu Tianxi's fighting style; even so, his invisibility ability makes all the students who have fought with him complain bitterly.
Unless his mental power is superior to Xu Tianxi's, he can only passively take the beating. Xiao Hongchen's mental power is still far from enough.
"Haha, all right, you youngsters, stop talking. We are almost fifty miles away from the Star Forest... Eh? What smells so good? It sounds like barbecue."
Xuan Ziwen was no longer surprised by the bickering between Xu Tianxi and Xiao Hongchen. Just as he was about to give Xiao Hongchen a way out, he smelled an enticing fragrance and could not help but look around.
Xu Tianxi's eyes fixed when he heard this, and his phantom moon pupils looked around and soon locked onto the direction. With a smile on his face, Xu Tianxi called Xuan Ziwen, who had also discovered the target, and Xiao Hongchen, who was looking around, and said as they walked:
"Looks like someone is grilling fish. Let's go see if they're willing to sell us two to try."
The two had no objection and quickly followed.
Pushing aside some clumps of trees and going around a stream, the three men saw a thin young man in gray cloth. In front of him was a grill made of thick branches, on which he was slowly grilling two small black carps, and on his back was a dark green dagger.
"Um?"
Xuan Ziwen's eyes moved, and he recognized that the dagger was a level 5 melee soul guide weapon.
"My friend, we passed by here and followed the aroma of your grilled fish. Are you interested in selling us a few? The price is negotiable."
Seeing that it was Huo Yuhao, Xu Tianxi stepped out first. A friendly smile appeared on his handsome face, and he spoke in a gentle voice.
Huo Yuhao obviously didn't expect to meet these three people. His face flushed slightly as he said, "I'll treat you guys to a meal when the fish is grilled."
"You are so polite, hey, I won't be polite later."
Xiao Hongchen sat down familiarly, staring at Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, rubbing his hands and saying with salivating eyes.
He had seen many delicacies from land and sea, but he had never seen many with such tempting aroma. He also didn't know how this grilled fish was made.
Seeing this, Xu Tianxi secretly said, "The Huo family's grilled fish is well-deserved," and sat down with Xuan Ziwen.
Soon, the two small bluefish were baked into a golden color, looking crispy and juicy, and extremely tempting.
At the same time, a boy and girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old walked along the stream. The girl was wearing a light blue outfit and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. The boy had an elegant temperament, and there were occasional flashes of lightning in his bright eyes.
Xu Tianxi, who was familiar with the plot of the original novel, knew that the visitors were none other than the Tang Clan's teacher-student love duo, Bei Bei and Tang Ya.
"Huh? Did you guys grill this fish? It smells so good!"
Tang Ya sniffed, and a gleam of surprise flashed across her almond-shaped eyes.
Huo Yuhao raised his hand timidly, "I baked this. These three big brothers just passed by here."
Xiao Hongchen waved his hand carelessly: "That's right, the three of us have already made a reservation. If you want to eat, it's on a first-come, first-served basis."
"oh?"
Beibei became interested and started observing Xu Tianxi and the other two. Soon, a gleam appeared in her eyes.
He couldn't even see through the cultivation levels of these three people. Either they were carrying treasures that concealed their cultivation levels, or their cultivation levels were higher than his.
"I'm Beibei, and this is my companion Xiaoya. May I ask why we three are here?"
After thinking for a while, Beibei bowed slightly to the three people, with a hint of vigilance in his smile.
The fish was already grilled. Xuan Ziwen and Xiao Hongchen each had one and ate with such delicious taste that their mouths were filled with relish. Only Xu Tianxi had time to respond to Beibei.
Xu Tianxi stood up and returned the greeting, then calmly asked, "What else can you do here besides hunting souls?"
Staring at Beibei, a glimmer of surprise flashed across Xu Tianxi's eyes. This guy's cultivation seemed to be somewhat different from that in the original book.
"That's true." Beibei smiled in agreement and was about to ask Tang Ya to sit down, but she found that the latter had run to the side of the boy who was grilling fish and started asking questions.
"Hehe, little brother, who did you learn how to grill fish from? I've never seen anything so delicious."
"I learned all this from my mother." Huo Yuhao replied with his head down.
"Oh, then why did you come here alone? Where are your family?" Tang Ya's cultivation was far inferior to Bei Bei's, but she could still vaguely see Huo Yuhao's weak soul power fluctuations, which was exactly level ten.
"I... I don't have any family left. I'm the only one left." Huo Yuhao's eyes froze for a moment, then he shook his head firmly.
Tang Ya was overjoyed and blurted out: "That's great!"
"Um?!"
"ah?!"
"What?"
The expressions of Xu Tianxi and the other two changed drastically. Xuan Ziwen and Xiao Hongchen put down the grilled fish, protected Huo Yuhao behind them, and stared at Tang Ya and the others with vigilance.
"You just opened your mouth and congratulated the other person for having no relatives. Are you two evil soul masters?!"
