Douluo: Starting with a Stone

Notting City is about a few hundred miles away from the Soul Hunting Forest of the Tiandou Empire. Shi Yun, who set out overnight, arrived at the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest on the afternoon of the third day.

The market on the outskirts of the forest is very large, with numerous wooden houses, and the shouts of various vendors can be heard from a distance.

"Dry food, dry food..."

"Weapons! Weapons made of fine iron."

Shi Yun ignored it, found a restaurant, and ordered a simple meal. After eating it, he closed his eyes and rested in his seat, quietly waiting for the night to come.

Shi Yun, who had read the illustrations, knew that most soul beasts, like humans, were active during the day and were afraid of fire. Since Shi Yun wanted to find a plant soul beast that could not move like Lone Bamboo, night should be the best choice.

As night falls, no shops in the market are closed, but lanterns are hung up and candles are lit. Everyone cherishes their lives, and there are many soul masters like Shi Yun.

Looking at the night outside the window, Shi Yun estimated the time, bought a torch in the shop, and headed towards the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.

When Shi Yun walked into the Soul Hunting Forest, the patrol team found that Shi Yun was alone, with a look of surprise on their faces.

The patrol leader looked at Shi Yun's warrant and asked, "Child, why don't you wait for the school to unify to hunt for the soul ring?"

Shi Yun said seriously, "Uncle, I want to hunt for a century-old soul ring."

The patrol leader was silent after hearing this, and there seemed to be a look of nostalgia in his eyes. He had seen too many children like Shi Yun, who did not succumb to his fate and longed for powerful power, but there was no one who could walk out of the forest. not much.

After a moment of silence, the patrol captain said to Shi Yun, "Child, you are not very old. You have cultivated to the tenth level now, and your innate soul power is at least three levels. Listen to your uncle and go back. Talk to the academy. Come with the teacher, you still have a bright future."

"Uncle, I came prepared. I brought kerosene in my package. My requirements are not high. I only hunt centuries-old lone bamboo."

Hearing this, the patrol leader suddenly said, "If it is Lone Bamboo, it is indeed a good choice. It is much easier to hunt than other century-old soul beasts. However, my child, when it reaches the century-old Lone Bamboo, it will release soul power to attack , even with the help of kerosene, it is still not comparable to ordinary ten-year-old soul beasts."

What do you say about the soul beast Lone Bamboo? In a very embarrassing situation, people who can hunt for a century-old soul ring generally look down on Lone Bamboo, but a century-old Lone Bamboo is not something that ordinary children can handle at will.

Shi Yun showed a determined look on his face, "Uncle, let me go. If I randomly absorb a ten-year soul ring today, maybe I will regret my original choice for the rest of my life."

The patrol leader who heard this sighed and pointed towards a path, "That's the route that the patrol team often takes in the forest. Even the century-old spirit beasts don't dare to appear on that road. Remember to follow the patrol team's instructions. If you leave your footprints, the soul beast will not continue to pursue you if you run back to that route if you encounter danger."

Shi Yun's eyes lit up and he bowed formally to the patrol team, "Thank you, uncle."

Seeing Shi Yun being so polite, the patrol leader's face froze as if he had thought of something, "Go ahead, uncle can only wish you good luck."

After saying this, the middle-aged man looked at Shi Yun's back and slowly disappeared deep into the forest.

…

Shi Yun followed the route guided by the man and found no soul beast. This also made it more difficult for Shi Yun to find the century-old solitary bamboo.

After a while, Shi Yun could clearly hear the movement of the water, but Shi Yun really did not dare to approach the water source. The spirit beasts were like animals. The closer they were to the water source, the stronger they became. The spirit beasts in the upper reaches of the water source were hunting here. He is definitely the overlord in the Soul Forest.

"Plants generally grow in warm, humid, and shady environments."

After thinking about it, Shi Yun slowly moved toward the water source. Shi Yun was still feeling extremely uneasy as he walked in the forest holding a torch. After all, this was his first jungle adventure.

Halfway through the walk, suddenly vines sprang out from under Shi Yun's feet and wrapped tightly around Shi Yun's knees. Shi Yun's heart skipped a beat. He could clearly feel that the pulling force was not strong. He reluctantly calmed down and held up his hands. The torch shined through.

"This is……"

Shi Yun looked at the black vines and couldn't help but think back to the Soul Beast Illustrated Book.

Since the thunder calamity had not yet started, Shi Yun drew out the sharp sword he had prepared from his back and drew it towards his feet. A white soul ring appeared and floated in the air.

Shi Yun murmured, "The ten-year-old ghost vine seems to have no problem with the route we are looking for. Plant-type soul beasts have begun to appear."

With a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, Shi Yun was advancing slowly, not daring to relax at all, because he understood that if what he had just been entangled with was a century-old ghost vine, his life might depend on it.

Shi Yun, who was still frightened, kept testing the surrounding plants with the sharp sword in his hand.

"Wow..."

As he advanced slowly, Shi Yun could already faintly hear the sound of running water. When he saw the solitary bamboo not far away, Shi Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed. Solitary bamboo never grew in pieces, so it was called solitary bamboo.

"Bamboo joints, bamboo joints...look at the bamboo joints."

Shi Yun used the torch to explore it, and seemed to feel the temperature of the torch. With two rustling sounds, Shi Yun suddenly found two blue crescents about three inches in size heading towards Shi Yun. Shi Yun's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he drew his sword horizontally. After blocking, Lone Bamboo's skill collided with Shi Yun's sword and made two crisp sounds. Shi Yun suddenly felt a slight numbness in the tiger's mouth, but saw two marks appear on the sword.

Immediately, Shi Yun retreated slightly, and counted the joints of the lonely bamboo with the help of the shimmering light.

"Four quarters, haha, God has paid off the debt."

Shi Yun was immediately overjoyed. He had never expected that he would actually meet his best years. Ever since Guiteng appeared just now, Shi Yun had been lowering his standards in his heart. After all, no one would think that his life was too long.

Immediately, Shi Yun threw the sharp sword aside. After the encounter just now, Shi Yun did not intend to use kerosene. He inserted the torch on a tree branch not far away and slowly summoned the thunder calamity.

"You can't hit a living creature with your cloak thrown around, but I still have to use a pinch to hit someone like you who can't move."

Therefore, Shi Yun held the sword with both hands and used the sword as a hammer, with soul power surging throughout his body. Then he stepped close to Lone Bamboo's body in an instant, raising his hand and lowering it in one go.

"Chaos cloak!"

boom!

A sword hit the bamboo trunk, making a metallic roar.

"Swiss, swish, swish," the branches and leaves quivered continuously, as if they were in pain, and the bamboo leaves glowed with a green halo.

Seeing Zhuye preparing to launch a large number of soul power attacks, Shi Yun turned his waist, and the second attack of Luan Cloak had arrived. In an instant, the large number of soul power attacks were forced to the side of the open space.

As Shi Yun's chaotic cloaks continued to pile up and soul power continued to be injected into the Thunder Tribulation, the light on the Thunder Tribulation sword became more intense.

"The tenth sword!"

A burst of white light flashed, and Shi Yun cut the tough lone bamboo in two. The irregular cut was also scorched black. It was obvious that the thunder attribute contained in the martial soul had taken effect.

Looking at it, the bamboo trunk deeply planted in the ground was motionless. The chopped bamboo trunk on the other side also lost its original soul power fluctuation. Then a bright yellow soul ring floated from the bamboo trunk implanted in the ground. come out.

"I will also have my own soul ring, God bless me."

Looking at the bright soul ring in front of him, Shi Yun couldn't help but sigh at his good luck. He cleaned up the surroundings and extinguished the torch. Suddenly, the surroundings were shrouded in darkness, and he could only see the brightness of the soul ring in front of Shi Yun.

While thinking, Shi Yun slowly sat cross-legged and summoned his martial soul to pull the soul ring.

Feeling the pull of the soul power, the soul ring floated to Shi Yun's head at an extremely fast speed. Then, it quickly shrank and became the size of a golden bracelet, which was placed directly on Lei Jie.

The next moment, Shi Yun couldn't help but tremble in comfort, and a large amount of soul power poured into his body through the martial spirit. Warmth, this was Shi Yun's first feeling.

The majestic energy envelops the entire body like a warm hot spring. Part of it disperses into the limbs and bones, and part of it flows into the meridians. It circulates crazily in the meridians like a whirlpool, constantly washing the body, and greatly accelerating the movement of the soul power in the body.

Obviously, after two and a half years of Hammer Iron, Shi Yun's physical strength was very good, and Shi Yun was not stingy with his gold coins in terms of diet. This level of energy infusion did not cause him pain.

Shi Yunzhi felt his mind suddenly light up, and it instantly appeared in his mind that he was immersed in a whirlpool composed of soul power, and in the center of the whirlpool, he was sitting cross-legged, with Lei spinning in his palms. Tribulation.

Under the infusion of the vortex of soul power, Lei Jie vaguely underwent some changes. The light on the sword sprouted like bamboo shoots after the rain. The light was no longer as vague as before, but became clear. It seems to be covered with a hint of gold.

Time passed slowly, and the warmth on Shi Yun's body slowly subsided. He suddenly opened his eyes, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes. This was the first milestone in Shi Yun's cultivation journey.

"Successful! It's already level 11."

Shi Yun then summoned his martial soul, held the Thunder Tribulation in his hand, activated the soul power, and waved it gently, and the bright yellow halo of rhythmic movement around his body also flickered.

"The first soul skill, Thunder Blade."

The next second, Shi Yun threw out a three-inch crescent moon from Lei Jie's sword, instantly splitting a nearby large tree in two like a sharp blade, leaving a scorched black incision.

Shi Yun looked at the mess not far away and said with emotion, "This power is really impressive. No wonder no one is willing to develop their own soul skills. This is just a weak century-old soul beast."

Looking at the sword blade of Thunder Tribulation, Shi Yun nodded with satisfaction. It was obvious that the purity of the thunder pattern iron was higher and the sword blade was tougher.

Looking at the dark stone clouds around him, he picked up the extinguished torch on the side, lit it, and returned to the original route.
