Notting City, Soul Hunting Forest.
At the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest, a man with a scruffy unkempt beard and a young boy with dark skin tone and blue hair are seen.
The boy took in his surroundings calmly but the moment he saw the entry archway of the Soul Hunting Forest he clenched his fists tightly.
'This is where my journey will officially begin.
After today, I'll become an official Soul Master.' The boy muttered under his breath.
His eyes turned purple for a split second as he scanned the imposing patrol guards.
'The Guards are at Soul Master to Grand Soul Master level at the least and that other one called Captain, who seems even stronger, maybe a Soul Elder?' The boy mused.
"Xiao San, let's go inside." The older man who verified the permit with the guard spoke up and started walking into the Soul Hunting Forest.
"Yes, Teacher." Tang San replied and walked behind his teacher Yu Xiaogong.
As they entered they first encountered a 10 year old lone bamboo.
"Um, sturdy enough." Yu Xiaogong praised as he examined the Bamboo with his hands.
"If we don't find a suitable Soul Ring for you, this lone bamboo is a good substitute for your Blue Silver Grass.
Although its age is not up to par, its toughness is something your Martial Soul needs." He explained, getting a nod from Tang San.
Then the two moved on and encountered a 100 year old tabby cat.
Yu Xiaogong sighed as he looked at the cat.
"Sigh, this tabby cat seems to have reached 100 year level recently, if only the situation of lone bamboo and this cat are reversed, the lone bamboo would become an even better substitute." He lamented aloud.
They walked ahead after ignoring the cat as it never attacked them.
Shortly after they reach about a 100 meters from the gate, they start getting encircled by a wolf pack.
Tang San, noticing this, became alert and informed his teacher Yu Xiaogong about it.
Who dismissed his worries, thinking of taking this opportunity to teach his disciple and wanting to show off summoned his Martial Soul Luo SanPao.
An animal that looked like a cross between a dog and a pig materialized before them.
He quickly took out two masks and put one on while giving the other to his disciple who followed his lead.
Once the wolf pack was close enough he yelled out his soul skill.
"Fart like Thunder, Luo SanPao."
Instantly the Luo SanPao stretched its legs and floated in the air as it quickly got bloated.
It released a yellow fart at the wolf pack, which created a shock wave that sent the whole pack flying.
The wolves slowly got up and ran away, leaving three wolves who got seriously injured behind.
Once the fog of gas created by the fart was cleared, both of them removed the mask and approached the injured wolves.
Yu Xiaogong took out two daggers and gave one to his disciple and guided him in finishing the three wolves.
Then he packed them into his storage soul device, and took out two radishes and tossed them to Luo Sanpao. Who caught them and started chewing.
Tang San felt complicated as he looked at his teacher.
'Although Teacher is weak, he is genuinely serious about teaching me and by watching him all this time i can conclude, he is really a genius in theory.
He cares for me and even cooked for me for the past few weeks.I should work hard and treat him well in the future to repay this kindness.' He thought.
Yu Xiaogong seeing the look of adoration and respect from his disciple felt his pride swell up, his vanity satisfied he took a packet and handed it to Tang san to spread it around.
"Let's take a break, once you spread that Soul Beast repellent powder, most soul beasts shouldn't come to trouble us." He said, but shortly after he got slapped in the face by his words, as a sinister presence loomed over them.
Just as they sat down to rest after spreading the Soul Beasts repellent powder, a "hiss" sounded in the distance and poisonous mist started spreading towards them.
Both of them instantly shot to their feet.
"Poison." Tang San exclaimed, as the expert in the field he quickly recognised the mist to be poisonous and warned his teacher.
Yu Xiaogong nodded solemnly as he got ready to fight or flee at a moment's notice.
As they waited a green snake with red spikes about 3 meters appeared in front of them.
Yu Xiaogong instead of explaining asked Tang San excitedly.
"Xiao San, what do you think of this Datura Snake?"
Tang San thought of the question for a second and then said. "Teacher, this Datura Snake is about 3 meters long, so it's around 300 years old. Its characteristics of toughness and poison suit me perfectly."
"Good Good Good. You learned well." Yu Xiaogong praised as he got ready to attack.
