"It was just a rude brat, yet he even mocked me, his teacher, with his sharp tongue. He's simply absurd."
Yu Xiaogang immediately exaggerated everything and told Tang San.
Hearing that Yu Xiaogang had been mocked by Lu Yuan, Tang San's eyes instantly flashed with a hint of killing intent.
Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents, Teacher—someone dared to mock his teacher! This was simply a path to self-destruction!
"Teacher, is that person called Lu Yuan? I will make him pay the price."
Tang San sneered in his heart. If someone dared to mock his teacher, they would have to pay the price!
A foolish brat, even if he awakened Innate Full Spirit Power like himself, so what? He didn't understand the importance of knowledge at all, and his future achievements were destined to be limited. He wasn't even worthy of being his opponent.
"We'll talk about it later, Little San. Tomorrow, wake up a bit earlier. I'll take you to get your first spirit ring."
"The Blue Silver GrassSpirit is, after all, not as good as the Clear Sky Hammer. Only by adding a poison attribute can you maximize your benefits."
Tang San thought about his Blue Silver Grass, which would break with a single tug, and nodded in agreement. Moreover, as a Tang SectDisciple, using poison was already his first choice.
Yu Xiaogang's suggestion could be said to perfectly align with his wishes.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
"Then, Teacher, I'll head back first."
...For the next few days, Lu Yuan was either in the cafeteria or the library. In fact, Yu Xiaogang wasn't entirely wrong about one thing: Spirit Masters indeed needed to learn knowledge. An illiterate person, even in this World where the strong are respected, would ultimately find it difficult to get by.
This was also why there were so many Spirit Master academies on the Douluo Continent.
Time flew by, and soon three days had passed.
Early in the morning, Director Su arrived with several teachers from Nuoding Academy. These were all people he had specially gathered to help Lu Yuan obtain his first spirit ring.
Lu Yuan expressed his gratitude to these teachers who were willing to help him acquire his spirit ring one by one.
On the Douluo Continent, how many Spirit Masters reached Rank 10 but, due to lack of money and influence, could only hastily find a ten-year Spirit Beast for their spirit ring, and many of those even had unsuitable attributes.
"Xiao Yuan, what is your target Spirit Beast? We are heading to the Spirit Hunting Forest this time. Although the Spirit Hunting Forest cannot compare to the Star Dou Great Forest, it still has most types of Spirit Beasts."
The Spirit Hunting Forest was specially established by Spirit Hall for low-RankSpirit Masters. It contained many Spirit Beasts suitable for low-RankSpirit Masters, and it was even rumored to have many high-species Spirit Beasts within it.
"It would be best to get a Thunder Cloud Leopard. Of course, a Purple Thunder Scorpion can also be a backup option."
Of the three Spirit Beasts he chose, the Thunder Cloud Leopard was the best option, followed by the Purple Thunder Scorpion, and finally, of course, the Swift Thunder Rat.
"Thunder Cloud Leopard, huh? Don't worry, there are such Spirit Beasts in the Spirit Hunting Forest. This time, I, Director, will definitely get you a hundred-year spirit ring."
Director Su patted his chest with a smile, looking as if everything was now in his hands.
"Then it's all up to Director Su! Teacher Zhao and I will just watch your heroic presence from behind, Director!"
A teacher named Mo Hen joked to Director Su with a smile.
"Xiao Yuan, when we get to the Spirit Hunting Forest, stand in the middle of us."
A gentle female teacher reached out and patted Lu Yuan's head, saying.
Lu Yuan nodded. Although the Spirit Hunting Forest was not considered dangerous, it was still a gathering place for Spirit Beasts. It was possible to suddenly encounter a surprise attack from some Spirit Beast.
If he stood in the center, at least his safety would be guaranteed. Otherwise, everyone might have to be distracted protecting him.
The Spirit Hunting Forest was located four hundred li northeast of Nuoding City. To conserve physical strength, Director Su proactively rented two carriages, carrying everyone grandly towards the forest.
Director Su was a Spirit Elder, and the other six accompanying teachers were all Spirit Grandmasters. Such cultivation could be said to be almost invincible in the Spirit Hunting Forest.
Even if they encountered some thousand-year Spirit Beasts, it wasn't impossible to fight them. Moreover, the probability of encountering a thousand-year Spirit Beast in the Spirit Hunting Forest was like encountering a fire-attribute Spirit Beast in the Extreme North Land.
The first sight of the Spirit Hunting Forest left Lu Yuan awestruck by the towering trees. The outer perimeter of the forest was blocked by layers of iron fences.
These steel fences were not only to deter poachers but also to prevent Spirit Beasts from escaping and harming the common people on the Continent.
Director Su presented his command token, and then they were allowed to pass through.
Upon entering the Spirit Hunting Forest, the fresh air that assailed him made Lu Yuan feel refreshed and invigorated.
"Thunder Cloud Leopards use elements as their means of attack and, according to records, prefer to live in areas with dense lightning."
"It looks like we'll have to head towards the Thunder Gorge."
Although the Spirit Hunting Forest was only a small gathering place for Spirit Beasts, it also contained many types of Spirit Beasts. These Spirit Beasts had different living habits, and over so many years, they naturally divided into many areas.
And the Thunder Gorge was one such location within the Spirit Hunting Forest, inhabited by a large number of lightning-attribute Spirit Beasts. The Thunder Cloud Leopard was one of them.
Since the target had been determined, everyone said no more and headed directly towards the Thunder Gorge.
The Thunder Cloud Leopard was a relatively fierce and territorial Spirit Beast, belonging to a type that does not form groups. With the strength of Lu Yuan's group, hunting one would not be a problem at all.
As long as they seized an opportunity, not to mention focusing their attacks, even Director Su alone could easily take it down.
After all, as a Rank 35 Spirit Elder, taking down a small hundred-year Spirit Beast was simply effortless.
Led by Director Su, a Spirit Elder, the group quickly headed towards the Thunder Gorge.
Lu Yuan, protected by everyone, began to anticipate his first spirit ring.
The group walked and rested, taking a full day to reach the Thunder Gorge.
Upon arriving at the Thunder Gorge, Lu Yuan felt that this place seemed very suitable for his Cultivation.
Looking at the dim sky and feeling the rather dense lightning elements, he couldn't help but show an expression of enjoyment.
Is this the Thunder Gorge? Here, it seems my spirit power circulation speed has increased significantly. If I could Cultivate here for a while, my spirit power would definitely improve a lot.
It's just a pity that this place is indeed a bit dangerous.
"Next, everyone will enter the Thunder Gorge. All of you, pay attention. I will lead the way, and you all protect Xiao Yuan well."
Director Su instructed, and everyone nodded, becoming serious and solemn.
A flash of green light, and suddenly a bow and arrow emanating a hot aura appeared in Director Su's hand. This was Director Su's Spirit, the Blazing Flame Bow. At the same time, three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, glowing with brilliant colors, also appeared beneath him.
