8 Five Hundred Years of Blue Silver Grass, Excellent Tool Blue Silver Grass
The two stepped into the Soul Hunting Forest.
This 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 so thick that almost no light penetrated, with only a few scattered specks of light falling through.
For the Soul Hunting Forest, these specks of light had no effect whatsoever.
It was still early morning, and a faint white mist permeated the forest, with the scent of earth and grass in the air.
This was only the Soul Hunting Forest; Xiao Ze couldn't imagine how exaggerated the Star Dou Great Forest would be.
"Xiao Ze, stay close to me. The Soul Hunting Forest is still very dangerous."
As he spoke, the principal held a crimson longsword in his hand, its blade entirely made of lava, with intricate flame patterns.
The edge of the sword was not smooth but covered with tiny serrations.
This was Xiao Ze's first time seeing the principal's Spirit, and he was very curious.
Seeing Xiao Ze's curious gaze, the principal smiled, "My Spirit is called Quenching Fire Sword. Although it's not a high-grade Spirit, it's quite good."
"Let's go to the Blue Silver Grass area."
Blue Silver Grass is considered the most numerous Spirit Beast on the Douluo Continent.
They are found all over the continent, but these Blue Silver Grass are not strong.
Forget about thousand-year-old ones; even five-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass are considered exceptionally gifted.
Blue Silver Grass above one hundred years old will possess intelligence.
Below one hundred years, they are no different from weeds.
Finding a five-hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass is quite difficult; it's like finding a needle in a haystack.
If the First Soul Skill has nothing to do with Spirit Beasts, then later he can find the Blue Silver Forest.
Then his spirit ring would basically be settled, all of them Blue Silver Grass.
"Squeak, squeak~"
Suddenly, a crimson fox with three tails appeared in front of Xiao Ze and the principal, its tail-ends burning with flames.
Its eyes were amber, and its forehead had flame-like golden patterns.
"It's a Huan Yan Fox, a hundred-year-old Huan Yan Fox."
The principal held up his Quenching Fire Sword, standing in front of Xiao Ze.
"Move aside, and I'll spare your life."
"Squeak, squeak~~"
The Huan Yan Fox seemed not to understand the principal's words, transforming into a crimson streak of fire and charging towards the principal, leaving a blazing trail of fire in its wake.
"You beast!"
The principal roared, and five spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and one black, lit up on his body.
Originally, the principal was old and only wanted a casual thousand-year spirit ring for his Fifth Soul Skill.
But Xiao Ze had dissuaded him.
The principal might not have high talent, but if he obtained Immortal Herbs later, he would also have a chance to become a Titled Douluo.
As for whether giving the Immortal Herb 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 was to the extent that all students envied him.
The principal even treated Xiao Ze like his own grandfather.
He was no different from the elders in Qingxi Village.
It was just an Immortal Herb.
The principal casually swung his sword, and a long blade of fire descended.
The Huan Yan Fox's eyes trembled, and its three fox tails coiled into a ring of fire to block the fiery blade, but the Huan Yan Fox was only a hundred-year Spirit Beast and no match for the principal.
It was struck by one blow and sent flying, its body catching fire.
Even with fire attributes, the Huan Yan Fox could not withstand a Spirit King's flames.
The Huan Yan Fox looked at the principal in horror.
"Scram!"
The Huan Yan Fox immediately fled.
"Xiao Ze, if you don't need spirit rings in the future, don't kill Spirit Beasts indiscriminately. Spirit Bones depend on luck.
The number of Spirit Masters will only increase, and a Spirit Master needs many Spirit Beasts. Spirit Beasts might become extinct tens of thousands of years from now.
At that time, Spirit Masters will also come to an end."
The principal lectured.
Xiao Ze nodded.
This was true; by Douluo Dalu 4, the fierce beasts would almost all be dead, and Spirit Beasts would be nearly extinct.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Soul might have been well-intentioned.
But he forgot about human greed.
Even for Spirit Bones, the war between Spirit Beasts and humans would not end.
Moreover, the Spirit Soul method was not equitable enough.
If given the chance, Xiao Ze would like to research an equitable Spirit Soul method.
He was very interested in this aspect.
Perhaps calling it a Life Contract would be better.
As for Spirit Bones, perhaps they could also be created.
If Spirit Souls can be created, shouldn't Spirit Bones be simpler?
Along the way, Xiao Ze and the principal encountered more than a dozen Spirit Beasts, but none were suitable for Xiao Ze.
"Found it, Blue Silver Grass!"
The principal looked at the swaying blue grass on the ground and smiled.
"That's right, 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 Blue Silver Grass 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.
They were densely packed, but didn't look scary.
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 vines that burst from the ground.
"A trivial trick."
The principal casually cut the vines with a single slash.
Among this group of Blue Silver Grass, there wasn't even one thousand-year-old one, and only a few were hundred-year-old.
That meant Ah Yin was an existence against the heavens.
Among tens of thousands of Blue Silver Grass, there was only one Blue Silver Emperor.
The Blue Silver Grass sensed the principal's ruthlessness 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 spirit ring soared into the air.
Xiao Ze immediately sat cross-legged, his face still filled with excitement.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ze began to circulate the Shennong Hundred Herbs Scripture, using his spirit power to guide the spirit ring above his head, slowly absorbing it.
"This child, it seems he also has his own destiny."
The principal chuckled; he could clearly see that the cultivation method Xiao Ze was practicing was not an ordinary meditation technique.
His spirit power was probably also boosted by this method.
But what did it matter?
They were all his students.
The principal held his Quenching Fire Sword, observing his surroundings, not allowing any Spirit Beasts to disturb Xiao Ze.
Time slowly passed.
When noon arrived, dazzling, scorching sunlight poured through the gaps between the leaves.
The Blue Silver Grass, 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 an over-limit First spirit ring."
"Grandpa Principal, thank you." Xiao Ze was very grateful to the principal.
If the villagers of Qingxi Village were Xiao Ze's mentors in life, then the principal was Xiao Ze's mentor on his Spirit Master path.
He might not be as powerful as Medicine Elder, but he was irreplaceable.
Most of Xiao Ze's knowledge was learned from the principal.
This showed how much the principal valued and liked Xiao Ze.
"Silly child, I am your principal." The principal vigorously ruffled Xiao Ze's head.
"How's your spirit power? It should be Level 12, right?"
"Mm, Level 12, not far from Level 13."
Xiao Ze found that when absorbing the spirit ring near Blue Silver Grass, his cultivation efficiency was higher.
Resilient Blue Silver Grass, a good tool Spirit Beast.
"Then what about your First Soul Skill?"
