"Mom, I just encountered a soul beast in that forest!"
Facing Xu Yao's question, Qing Mu said seriously.
"What!?"
When Xu Yao heard this, she was shocked and quickly stood up to check Qing Mu's body. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Qing Mu was not injured.
But then Xu Yao frowned again and said, "Son, do you remember the soul beast you encountered in the forest? What kind of soul beast was it, and roughly how old was it?"
As the lords of this area, they have the responsibility to protect the security of the territory. If they allow the soul beast to run rampant in the territory, it will inevitably threaten the lives and safety of the people in the territory, which is what they are trying their best to avoid.
Qing Mu replied, "It was a hundred-year-old shadow leopard. It has now been killed by Bulbasaur and I. However, I am worried that there are other spirit beasts. You and father need to check them together."
"Hundred-year Shadow Panther? Not bad, wait! You said you've dealt with it?"
Hearing that it was a hundred-year-old shadow leopard, Xu Yao felt relieved at first. After all, it was just a hundred-year-old shadow leopard, which could be easily dealt with with their strength.
But when Xu Yao heard that Qingmu and Bulbasaur actually solved it, an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on her face, and she looked at Qingmu and Bulbasaur beside him in shock.
Qing Mu nodded and said, "Lucky luck. The Shadow Leopard was too anxious and ended up getting pierced through by the vines that Bulbasaur had ambushed in the ground."
"Hiss~"
Hearing this, Xu Yao took a breath of cold air.
She knew that Bulbasaur was very powerful. After all, she often watched Qingmu train Bulbasaur and was amazed at the abilities displayed by Bulbasaur.
According to Xu Yao's guess, Bulbasaur is now even stronger than many first-ring soul masters. This is one of the reasons why she and Qing Tianfeng let Qingmu stay alone in the small forest to train.
Their territory was originally relatively safe, and with such strength, even if they were unlucky and encountered some ordinary beasts or bandits, they could easily deal with them.
The only thing they didn't expect was that even though they were hundreds of miles away from the nearest Soul Hunting Forest, and they had thoroughly searched that forest, Qing Mu still encountered a soul beast.
But then, a smile that could not be concealed appeared on Xu Yao's face, and she said:
"Good, good! He hasn't even obtained his first spirit ring yet, but he's already killed a century-old shadow leopard. My son has the potential to become a Titled Douluo!"
After saying this, Xu Yao was surprised to find that Qing Mu's level seemed to have reached level ten.
Generally speaking, if a soul master does not release his martial soul to fight, it is difficult for others to see your level, but there is one exception, that is, the level gap between the two sides is too big!
With Xu Yao's strength as a level 34 Soul Master, it is not difficult for him to see through Qing Mu, who has not even obtained his first soul ring.
As if guessing Xu Yao's thoughts, Qing Mu immediately said, "Just now in the battle with that Hundred-Year Shadow Leopard, it seems that due to the tremendous pressure, I broke through to level ten!"
Qing Mu chose to conceal Bulbasaur's ability to defeat spirit beasts and gain experience because it was too shocking. If his parents knew about it, it would not only do them no good but also bring additional risks.
As for the reason of breaking through during battle, it is quite normal. Although this situation is relatively rare, there are also examples on Douluo Continent of people making rapid progress in cultivation after experiencing life and death.
"I see. It seems my son is quite lucky to have encountered something like this."
After hearing Qing Mu's explanation, Xu Yao suddenly realized and didn't dwell on it too much.
After all, breaking through under the pressure of life and death is a common method used by big families to train their disciples. Basically, all larger families have similar methods.
The ultimate manifestation of this method is undoubtedly the City of Slaughter. As long as you can get out of it, you can not only obtain a domain of the God of Killing, but after washing away the hostility, you will also have a period of explosive growth in your cultivation.
Then Xu Yao immediately took Qing Mu to see Qing Tianfeng, and told him everything Qing Mu had just said to her.
Qing Tianfeng was shocked when he heard that a soul beast appeared in the forest. However, when Xu Yao said that Qing Mu not only killed the hundred-year-old shadow leopard, but also reached the tenth level of soul power, his expression suddenly became serious.
"Mu'er's killing of the Hundred-Year Shadow Leopard and her breakthrough to level ten in spirit power must not be spread, at least not now!"
Qing Tianfeng stared at Xu Yao and Qing Mu and said.
Seeing her husband like this, Xu Yao nodded. She naturally knew what Qing Tianfeng was worried about.
If he was just an ordinary genius, they would be very happy that their son had such talent, and his future prospects would undoubtedly exceed their imagination.
However, Qing Mu's level-up speed is obviously abnormal. He is clearly at the fifth level of innate soul power, but the speed of improvement is not inferior to the legendary innate full soul power.
Moreover, it would be fine if the level just increased quickly. After all, there are such geniuses. Even if they are born with full soul power, one will appear every few years.
As for this kind of genius, as long as they are not from the mortal enemy forces, generally no one will pay too much attention to it. After all, everyone has a few similar geniuses, and it does not affect the overall situation.
But if one shows extraordinary combat talent while practicing at a fast speed, then there will be trouble.
The competition in Douluo Continent is extremely cruel. Once this kind of talent is revealed, it will inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of those big forces. Even if you join one of the forces, you may not be able to be safe.
After all, no force would sit idly by and watch a strong man who could change the situation rise up and divide their already limited resources.
Especially for a small family like theirs, exposing this talent too early would be a curse rather than a blessing.
There are too many examples of a small family being wiped out because of a peerless genius.
"In that case, Mu'er can't register with the Spirit Hall. And now that Mu'er has reached level ten, how should we deal with the spirit ring issue?"
Xu Yao couldn't help but frowned and said.
It's okay if they don't go to the Spirit Hall to register. It just means they will lose some gold soul coins. They are not particularly short of money now.
But the problem with spirit rings is huge. Without spirit rings, you cannot upgrade. This is very important!
Qing Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "There are two solutions. One is to let Mu'er be patient for a while. After a year, we will take her to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a spirit ring for her."
The Soul Hunting Forest is strictly monitored by the Empire, and every entry and exit requires a clear level, for fear of poaching soul beasts.
Although Qing Tianfeng could use some other excuses to get in, Qing Mu's level could not be concealed from the guards.
"no!"
However, as soon as this method was mentioned, Xu Yao rejected it.
Xu Yao immediately blurted out, "Although you can accumulate soul power at level ten, the speed at which a soul warrior accumulates soul power is so different from that of a soul master. Doing so will consume Mu'er's potential!"
Hearing this, Qing Tianfeng sighed and said, "Then there is only one other way. That is to find a suitable small soul beast forest and go there to obtain Mu'er's first soul ring."
