Douluo: Becoming the God of Nature from Farming Chapter 008

The two stepped into the Soul Hunting Forest.

It was Xiao Ze’s first time in the Soul Hunting Forest, and he immediately felt a sense of oppression.

Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, their canopies thick and basically impenetrable to light, with only scattered specks of light filtering through.

For the Soul Hunting Forest, these specks of light were completely useless.

It was still early morning, and a faint white mist permeated the forest, the air carrying the scent of earth and grass.

This was just the Soul Hunting Forest; Xiao Ze couldn’t imagine how exaggerated the Star Dou Great Forest must be.

“Xiao Ze, stick close to me. The Soul Hunting Forest is still very dangerous.”

As he spoke, the principal held a crimson longsword in his hand. The sword body was entirely made of lava, with intricate flame patterns.

The blade was not smooth but covered in tiny serrations.

This was the first time Xiao Ze had seen the principal’s martial soul, and he was very curious.

Seeing Xiao Ze’s curious gaze, the principal chuckled, “My martial soul is called Quenched Sword. Although it’s not a high-grade martial soul, it’s still quite good.”

“Let’s go, we’re heading to the Blue Silver Grass area.”

Blue Silver Grass was considered the most numerous soul beast on the Douluo Continent.

It was spread throughout the entire continent, but these Blue Silver Grasses weren’t strong.

Let alone thousand-year-old ones, even five-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass was considered exceptionally talented.

Only Blue Silver Grass over a hundred years old would possess intelligence.

Below a hundred years, they were no different from weeds.

Finding a five-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass was quite difficult, practically one in a hundred.

If his first soul skill wasn’t related to a soul beast, he could later find the Blue Silver Forest.

Then his soul rings would basically be settled, all of them Blue Silver Grass.

“Squeak~”

Suddenly, a crimson fox appeared before Xiao Ze and the principal. It had three tails, and flames burned at their tips.

Its eyes were amber, and there were flame-like golden patterns on its forehead.

“It’s an Illusory Flame Fox, a hundred-year-old Illusory Flame Fox.”

The principal raised his Quenched Sword, blocking Xiao Ze.

“Get out of the way, and I’ll spare your life.”

“Squeak~~”

The Illusory Flame Fox seemed to not understand the principal’s words, transforming into a crimson streak of fire and lunging towards the principal, leaving raging flames in its wake.

“Beast!”

The principal roared, and five soul rings lit up on his body: two yellow, two purple, and one black.

Originally, the principal, being old, only wanted to casually get a thousand-year-old fifth soul ring.

But Xiao Ze had dissuaded him.

The principal might not have high talent, but as long as he obtained immortal herbs later, the principal would also have a chance to become a Titled Douluo.

As for whether giving immortal herbs to the principal would be a waste, that was not something Xiao Ze needed to consider.

Over these three years, the principal’s care for Xiao Ze had reached a level that all students envied.

The principal was even like a grandfather to Xiao Ze.

He was no less than the elders in Qingxi Village.

It was just one immortal herb.

The principal casually swung his sword, and a long blade of fire descended.

The Illusory Flame Fox’s eyes trembled, and its three fox tails coiled into a fiery ring to block the fiery longblade. But the Illusory Flame Fox was only a hundred-year soul beast and no match for the principal.

It was sent flying by a single slash, its body catching fire.

Even with fire attributes, the Illusory Flame Fox couldn’t withstand a Soul King’s flames.

The Illusory Flame Fox looked at the principal in horror.

“Scram!”

The Illusory Flame Fox immediately fled.

“Xiao Ze, if you don’t need soul rings in the future, don’t kill soul beasts indiscriminately. Soul bones depend on luck.

The number of soul masters will only increase, and a soul master needs many soul beasts. Soul beasts might go extinct in tens of thousands of years.

At that time, soul masters will also come to an end.”

The principal lectured.

Xiao Ze nodded.

This was true. By the time of Douluo Dalu 4, fierce beasts were almost all dead, and soul beasts were nearly extinct.

Huo Yuhao’s soul spirit might have been well-intentioned.

But he forgot about human greed.

Even for soul bones, the war between soul beasts and humans would never end.

Moreover, the soul spirit method wasn’t fair enough.

If he had the chance, Xiao Ze wanted to research a more equitable soul spirit method.

He was very interested in this area.

Perhaps “life contract” would be a better term.

As for soul bones, perhaps they could also be created.

If soul spirits could be created, shouldn’t soul bones be even simpler?

Along the way, Xiao Ze and the principal encountered over a dozen types of soul beasts, but none of them were suitable for Xiao Ze.

“Found it, Blue Silver Grass!”

The principal looked at the swaying blue grass on the ground and smiled.

“Yes, it’s Blue Silver Grass. Following this path, we should be able to find more Blue Silver Grass.”

Xiao Ze touched the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass. This particular plant was less than a hundred years old, no different from a weed.

The two continued forward.

Soon, they found a large patch of Blue Silver Grass.

It was dense, but it didn’t look intimidating.

The air here was very fresh.

“That Blue Silver Grass is five hundred years old.”

The principal said, stepping forward to pull it out.

Suddenly, the principal’s foot was bound by a vine that burst out of the ground.

“Mere trickery.”

The principal casually slashed, severing the vine.

Among this group of Blue Silver Grass, there wasn’t a single thousand-year-old one, and only a few were a hundred years old.

That meant A Yin was an extraordinary existence.

Among ten thousand Blue Silver Grasses, there was only one Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Grass sensed the principal’s ferocity and shrank its leaves.

But they couldn’t escape. The five-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass was brought before Xiao Ze by the principal.

“Xiao Ze, absorb it.”

“Okay.” Xiao Ze took out a classic small dagger and pierced the Blue Silver Grass.

A yellow soul ring floated up.

Xiao Ze immediately sat cross-legged, his face still filled with excitement.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ze began to circulate the Shennong’s Hundred Herbs Scripture, using his soul power to guide the soul ring to his head, slowly absorbing it.

“This child, it seems he also has his own destiny.”

The principal chuckled. How could he not see that the cultivation technique Xiao Ze practiced was not an ordinary meditation method?

His soul power was probably also elevated by this technique.

But what did it matter?

They were all his students.

The principal held his Quenched Sword, observing the surroundings, preventing any soul beasts from disturbing Xiao Ze.

Time slowly passed.

By noon, dazzling, hot sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves.

The Blue Silver Grasses, feeling the sunlight, straightened their bodies to absorb it.

“Hoo…”

Xiao Ze slowly opened his eyes, feeling comfortable in his body, a smile on his face.

“Congratulations, you have successfully obtained your first soul ring beyond the limit.”

“Grandpa Principal, thank you so much.” Xiao Ze was very grateful to the principal.

If the villagers of Qingxi Village were Xiao Ze’s life mentors.

Then the principal was Xiao Ze’s mentor on his path as a soul master.

He might not be as powerful as Old Yao, but he was irreplaceable.

Most of Xiao Ze’s knowledge was learned from the principal.

This showed the principal’s regard and affection for Xiao Ze.

“Silly child, I’m your principal.” The principal heavily ruffled Xiao Ze’s head.

“How’s your soul power? Should be level twelve, right?”

“Mhm, level twelve, not far from level thirteen.”

Xiao Ze found that after absorbing the soul ring, his cultivation efficiency was higher when near Blue Silver Grass.

Resilient Blue Silver Grass, a fine tool soul beast.

“Then what’s your first soul skill?”
