[Douluo] Twin Souls

In the early morning, when most of the teachers and students of Notting College were still asleep, three people, one tall, two short, had already walked out of the gate of the college.

"Teacher, where are we going to find the soul beast?"

Those who walked out of the academy were the master and Tang San, Tang Lan, the master and his apprentice.

"We're going to the Hunting Soul Forest, four hundred miles northeast of Notting City. It's where the empire keeps spirit beasts in captivity. We can definitely find a spirit ring that suits you."

The master wore a strong outfit today, and he looked a bit more heroic, but his stiff face still gave people a feeling of disharmony.

"Captive breeding? Can soul beasts be raised in captivity too? Teacher, please tell us about the knowledge of soul beasts."

The master nodded and said: "Of course high-level soul beasts cannot be kept in captivity, but low-level ones can. Soul beasts are beasts with soul power. The longer they exist, the stronger their strength. Therefore, Generally speaking, we divide soul beasts into five levels according to their age. Ten-year soul beasts, century-old soul beasts, thousand-year soul beasts, ten-thousand-year soul beasts, and 10-year soul beasts. As the name suggests, soul beasts that have been cultivated for more than ten years , is a ten-year soul beast, and so on. The distinction between soul rings and soul beasts is the same. The soul rings of different ages are very easy to recognize, and you can tell from the color. Among them, the soul rings of ten-year soul beasts are white. Hundred-year-old soul beasts have yellow rings, thousand-year soul beasts have purple soul rings, ten-thousand-year soul beasts have black soul rings, and 10-year soul beasts have red soul rings. Most of the soul beasts that are kept in captivity by the state for soul masters to hunt and kill It is ten years and one hundred years old, and there are very few thousand-year-old soul beasts."

"Teacher, the longer the time of cultivation, the stronger the strength of the spirit beast, and the better the effect of the spirit ring produced. In what aspects does this strength manifest itself?" Tang San asked.

His iconic ugly smile appeared on the stiff face of the master,

"This question is very good. The difference between the soul rings produced by soul beasts of different levels is mainly in the ability to add attributes and skills to the soul master itself. For example, if you look at it from a quantitative point of view, your blue silver Grass Martial Soul will follow the route of the soul master of the control system, then, if you get a ten-year soul ring with matching attributes, then your blue silver grass control will increase by ten, but if it is a century-old soul ring, then you are right The control of the Blue Silver Grass is increased by one hundred. And so on. Of course, if it is Xiaolan's folding fan, then it is an increase in attack power. Therefore, when possible, all soul masters will try to pursue a more powerful soul ring."

Tang Lan asked suspiciously: "Wouldn't it be the case that the more powerful the person, the better the spirit ring they can get? Those nobles can use their family power to hunt and kill stronger spirit rings for themselves."

There was a gleam of approval in the master's eyes,

"Being able to think of this proves that you have thought about it carefully, but in fact it is not that simple. In other words, the additional requirements for the soul ring are extremely stringent. First of all, you must kill the soul beast yourself to get the soul beast The soul ring. The soul ring will only exist for a very short time, and if it is not attached to oneself within an hour, it will lose its effect."

"Secondly, soul beasts are extremely proud creatures. No soul beast will allow itself to be captured. If they are seriously injured by the enemy and want to capture them, then the soul beast will choose to commit suicide by self-destructing with its soul power. This is Just put an end to the situation you mentioned, even if you invite someone to hunt the soul beast, if he doesn't kill it in the end, it will be very difficult to get the soul ring."

"Of course, this is not absolute. How can the wisdom of human beings compare with soul beasts. The best way to hunt and kill soul beasts is to form a group to go to the location of the soul beasts, and complete the last blow by yourself, so that you can get the soul ring. So , the nobles you mentioned and some powerful people do have certain advantages in hunting soul beasts."

"However, just because such a person can easily obtain a soul ring does not mean that he will become stronger than ordinary soul masters. No one can be sure whether the attributes of the soul beasts they encounter are the most suitable for them. The level of the soul beast is of course important. Whether the attributes match is also crucial. No matter how good the soul ring is, it will not have a good effect if it is incompatible with your own martial soul, but will affect yourself. The most important thing is that each soul master absorbs the soul ring at different stages limited."

"For example, you are only a tenth-level soul warrior now. With your current soul power, you can only absorb the soul ring of a hundred-year-old soul beast at most. If you try to absorb a thousand-year-old soul ring in vain, then there will only be one soul ring in the end. To bear, to be destroyed by the power of the soul ring. When absorbing the soul ring, no external force can help, and you can only rely on yourself. Think about it, those who need the help of others to hunt and kill the soul beast they need, their own strength How can it be tough, maybe absorbing a soul ring that suits you and is within your control will produce a devastating blow. Xiaosan and Xiaolan, both of you must remember that this world is fair, what do you want to get? Therefore, we must make corresponding efforts, opportunism is mediocrity. The theory of Wuhun I have studied is just to make it easier for soul masters to make this effort. In the case of equal strength, they can become Stronger. Do you understand?"

The two nodded seriously.They are not people who are used to opportunism, relying on their own efforts to work towards their goals step by step is the most solid.

The master took them out of the city in no hurry, but walked towards the city instead.

"Teacher, aren't we going out of town?"

The master said: "To hunt and kill spirit beasts, we need to prepare something. Moreover, we can't go on foot. Although the distance of four hundred miles is not too far, it is always good to hurry up."

As the sun gradually rose from the east, the number of pedestrians in Notting City gradually increased.Today is also one of the few days when Tang San and Tang Lan did not use Zi Qi Dong to cultivate Ziji Demon Eyes.

The master said the preparation is not complicated, he bought three skin bags specially used for drinking water.Each skin bag can hold a full five liters of clean water.I bought some bacon, bread and fruit.Made two big bags.

If Tang San and Tang Lan could still understand these things, the master also bought something that he couldn't understand, and this kind of thing was also the most bought.

A whole twenty catties of white radish.Tang San's task now is to hold them, while Tang Lan helps to carry the things and water that he just bought.A weight of twenty catties was nothing to Tang San.Of course, if you walk four hundred miles, that's a problem.

Fortunately, after the master purchased all these items, he immediately hired a carriage in the city and gave the driver five silver soul coins.

The currency exchange in Douluo Continent is like this, one gold soul coin is equal to ten silver soul coins, which is equal to one hundred copper soul coins.One gold soul coin is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for a few months.It is also equivalent to Tang San's three-year working income at Notting College.

The reason why the profession of soul master is said to be the most noble in the mainland is that income is an important reason.Even if you just advance from a soul warrior to a soul master, you can enjoy a subsidy of one gold soul coin every month, which is enough for ordinary people to live.Of course, it is just basic life, and it is impossible to want luxury.

And when a soul master has cultivated to a higher level, especially after surpassing a great soul master and entering the realm of soul master, as long as he registers in the Wuhun Temple, he can be directly conferred a title by the country and become the lowest noble baron.The higher the strength, the higher the title of nobility, and the higher the income, the higher the income.

It was the first time for Tang San and Tang Lan to ride in a carriage. Although it was a bit bumpy, the novelty still made them very interested, and they opened the curtains to look outside from time to time.Looking at the bustling crowds and various shops, I can't help but yearn for the outside world.In this life, Tang San knew that he was destined not to be as simple as the previous life, and he didn't know what would happen when he entered the society.The surprise in Tang Lan's eyes was even stronger than Tang San's. He had never had much contact with the outside world. Even after reincarnation, he only stayed in the small Holy Soul Village, and rarely went to the city with the village head, Old Jack. , and will not come to such a prosperous place.Now, Tang Lan is full of curiosity about everything outside.

"Xiao San, Xiao Lan, this is for you."

The master's faint voice awakened the two of them from their thoughts. When they looked at the master, they found that at some point, the master had already had an extra belt in his hand, which looked very beautiful.

The whole body of the belt is black, with dark stripes on it, which cannot be distinguished unless you look carefully. On the entire belt, 24 pieces of milky white jade are evenly inlaid, each piece of jade is only the size of an adult's thumbnail, and is round.The color is warm and moist, and it is a rare beautiful jade at first glance.

"Thank you, teacher."

Tang San was not polite either, stretching out his hand to take it, the so-called elders can't deny it, he had seen it before when he was in Tang Sect, Tang Sect inner elders would give a meeting gift after accepting disciples.The belt that the master gave him should have the same meaning.

Seeing that Tang San still took the belt, Tang Lan obediently followed suit to thank him.

The master said: "This belt has been with me for many years, and it has also been buried for many years. I hope it can bloom in the hands of you two in the future with the brilliance it deserves."

As soon as the belt was in his hand, Tang San felt it was unusual, there seemed to be many weak air currents circulating on the belt, and these air currents used the belt itself as a bridge and jade as storage.Tang Lan also touched some beautiful jade curiously.

"30 years ago, when I got it, I didn't know its name. But according to my years of research, it can be regarded as a top-notch soul guide, and its function is to store items. You only need to inject your own soul power into it, Each piece of jade can provide a cubic meter of storage space, which is convenient for storing such items.”

Soul guide, to Tang San and Tang Lan, this is a brand new term. Although they still don't know what the meaning of soul guide is, the master's explanation has already shocked him.

24 pieces of jade, that is, there is a storage space of 24 cubic meters. For them, that is the place where 24 kinds of hidden weapons can be stored.Tang San's eyes became hot, and the desire in his heart to improve Xuantian Kung reached an incomparable level.I can't wait to have enough internal strength to practice the use of various hidden weapons now.With this belt, there is no need to worry about the storage of hidden weapons.And if this belt is put on Xiaolan, after he can make enough hidden weapons with enough strength, then Xiaolan's safety will be guaranteed another layer.The reaction of Tang Hao and the master when they saw Tang Lan's second martial spirit has always been a lump in Tang San's heart.

Before Tang San and Tang Lan asked, the master had already explained:

"Soul guides, as the name suggests, are tools used with the power of martial souls. There are very few soul guides handed down from ancient times, and most of them have no offensive function. Soul masters themselves do not need weapons. Soul guides can be described as cultural relics. As for them How it was produced and how it was made has long been lost. This belt was obtained by me and a few friends during an expedition. It was distributed to me as a reward. For me, it does not have much use. You should be able to It is useful. You brothers should make good use of it. By the way, you should discuss who to put on it first."

Tang San just wanted to say to put Xiaolan there, but he always thought that he could make more hidden weapons for Tang Lan's self-defense in the future, of course it would be better if there is a place to put it.But as soon as he turned his head, he looked at Tang Lan's expressionless little face.Tang San grew up with Tang Lan, how could he not understand what Tang Lan meant.

"Xiaolan, from now on you have to put your things away by yourself."

"Why, brother, won't you always be by my side?"

"But...you still have to learn this by yourself..."

"..."

Looking at Tang Lan's expressionless face, Tang San lost again.What else can he do, Xiaolan, if you don't want a belt or put something for me, will you abandon my expression in the future, Tang San dare to say anything?I had to silently take the belt.

"Ha ha."

Laughter that did not belong to the two resounded in the carriage. As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw the master's awkward smile, but there was a gratifying light in his eyes.

"You two brothers, this is very good."

The master patted Tang Lan's head. The way the two brothers didn't fight for this rare treasure just now really made him feel very comforted and moved.

"Brothers help each other and care about each other, you should also support each other like this in the future."

"Well, of course."

The two nodded at the same time, and the earnest affirmation made the master show an ugly smile.

"Well, yes, this is my disciple."

As he spoke, the master took out another wristband from his pocket.The same black belt with dark stripes, also inlaid with three jade stones.However, unlike the jade on the belt, the jade on the wristband is not milky white, but emerald green. Its crystal clear appearance is no worse than the jade on the belt.

"Xiao Lan, this is for you."

Tang Lan took the wristband suspiciously, and the feeling in his hand was the same as the belt just now.

"This is also the same soul guide as the belt. Although there are only three jade stones, each jade stone can store three cubic meters of items. Although it is much smaller than the belt belt, in terms of a single jade stone, This is a better soul tool than the belt."

Those three jade stones are nine cubic meters of space.Although it is more than half less than his elder brother's, Tang Lan doesn't care at all. For him, this is enough. Of course, he doesn't care whether he has it or not. Anyway, there is a brother (--) but this is The gift from the teacher was such a precious item, of course Tang Lan accepted it very gratefully.

"Well, thank you teacher!"

"Well, you just need to use them well. By the way, give them a name."

give a name to?Tang San looked at those 24 gentle jade stones, almost without thinking, he remembered a famous poem from his previous life,

"24 bridge moon night, let's call it 24 bridge moon night."

Both Tang Lan and the master were taken aback for a moment, the master's stiff face showed no expression, he nodded and said:

"It's a nice name, but it's a bit lengthy."

Tang San secretly sighed in his heart, perhaps, this can be regarded as a little memory of his previous life.And Tang Lan was just stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and fiddled with her hand to take it away.

"Well, what about Xiaolan?"

Tang Lan took a look at the three jade stones on her hand, then looked at her elder brother next to her, and said with a blank expression,

"Little three."

Tang San:"……"

Grandmaster:"……"

"Uh... Xiaolan, are you sure?"

The master's always serious expression is a little weird now, but after all, this is something for Xiaolan, so what name to choose depends on Xiaolan's meaning.

Tang Lan stared at the master and nodded seriously.

"Well, it's up to you, as long as you like it."

In the end, the master didn't know what to say, so he had to skip this topic.

Tang San"……"

"Okay, as for how to use them, it's actually very simple. Inject your soul power into that jade, and you can feel the existence of its space. If you react quickly enough, the things in it will appear out of thin air .But if you want to master its characteristics well, you need to practice more. This is also a homework for you in the future."

Needless to say, the master, the two also understood the importance of practicing how to extract objects from these two soul guides, and nodded in agreement.

Originally, the two of them were still wondering, the master bought so many things, how to use them to hunt soul beasts after entering the hunting forest, but now that there are 24 Qiao Mingyueye and Xiaosan, these are no longer a problem.With nothing to do along the way, they began to practice the control of access items to 24 Qiao Mingyueye and Xiaosan under the guidance of the master.And the items used for practice are those white radishes...

The road of four hundred miles was not long, but it was not short either. It was not until noon the next day that they arrived at the destination of the trip - the Hunting Soul Forest.

When Tang San pulled Tang Lan out of the carriage, they found that the Hunting Soul Forest was completely different from what they had imagined.

In the impression of the two of them, the forest should be full of the atmosphere of nature, quiet and serene, with fresh air and few people.Just like the place where Tang Lan stayed in the previous life.But the hunting soul forest in front of him, at least outside the forest, feels like a big market.

Outside the forest, there are large houses, or shops.All kinds of yelling sounded one after another, simple paths paved artificially traversed them, and the noisy atmosphere couldn't help making Tang San frown.

"There is a warrant to form a group to hunt and kill power-type soul beasts. There are still two people left."

"Hunting agile spirit beasts, seven people and other warrants. Ten gold soul coins."

Similar yells came and went, and most of the shops in the forest were selling weapons, armor and various food supplies.The master led the two of them into the market, which can be regarded as a small town,

"Do you know why I bought everything in Notting City?"

The two shook their heads.

The master pointed to the prices marked in those shops,

"Because here, the price has to be doubled at least. Are you surprised that it is so lively outside a forest. It is actually very simple. Where there are soul beasts, there are benefits. Especially these souls that are specially raised by the state. The forest of beasts is even more so. Soul masters are a rich group, and there are too many people who want to earn money from soul masters."
