Chapter 66 Hunting the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast!

Star Dou Forest, core area.

With Xuan Zi clearing the way with his own terrifying aura of level ninety-eight, the two of them moved smoothly from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, let alone soul beasts that have cultivated for ten or a hundred years, even soul beasts at the thousand-year level are hard to come by. This must be because Xuan Zi’s own pressure is too terrifying. In the eyes of soul beasts, this pressure is probably stronger than that of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

“Master Xuan, why don’t you just hide your aura? Otherwise, let alone a ten thousand year soul beast, even a hundred thousand year soul beast would probably be scared away by you.”

After arriving at the core area, Luo Chen looked around at the huge and ancient towering trees. There was almost no strong breath of life. He felt helpless for a moment and spoke to Xuan Zi beside him.

However, Xuan Zi smiled and said:

“Are you sure? If I withdraw my aura, all kinds of soul beasts will soon appear around me. The soul beasts in the core area are more violent and ferocious than those in the periphery.”

What he said was not nonsense. Although under the influence of his aura, soul beasts with cultivation of ten thousand years would be very rare and most of them would stay away from them, but they could always find them by walking around the periphery of the core area a few more times.

Once he cancels the protection of his own aura, the soul beasts will probably only be able to sense the aura of “food” Luo Chen, who is only a three-ring soul master. At that time, it is possible that he will be besieged.

“I’m sure, Master Xuan, please don’t treat me like those kids from the outer courtyard. Although we are all freshmen who have just entered school, there is still a big gap between freshmen!”

Hearing Xuanzi’s words, Luo Chen also said with a smile. At the same time, the blood-red giant sickle that exuded a strong sense of death appeared in Luo Chen’s hand.

What is different from before is that after truly awakening, the Grim Reaper’s Scythe, which originally only had a few blood-colored lines on the black blade, has now turned into a bloody color.

And upon careful observation, one can even see specks of gray light rising uncontrollably from the blood-colored lines at the beginning, and then transforming into skull-like gray ghosts, which looks quite weird.

“Wow, interesting spirit. It seems that the aura of death that suddenly emerged from your body was emitted from this sickle. If I could sense the evil and filthy aura from you, I would have thought you were an evil spirit master!”

Looking at Luo Chen’s aura, which had changed greatly, Xuan Zi’s eyes showed some surprise and he couldn’t help but speak.

However, after hearing the three familiar words coming out of his mouth, Luo Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly and explained:
“Master Xuan, I will not hide the truth from you. When my martial soul first awakened, I could not control the aura of death that came with it very well, so I was mistaken for an evil soul master and was hunted down by the imperial border guards.”

“Even though I have some strange abilities after awakening this martial soul, I have never used these abilities to hurt anyone. But even so, those guards still hold on to me, trying to catch me and collect the bounty.”

“Therefore, in the years before entering the academy, I basically spent all these years alone in the Star Dou Great Forest. Every day and night, I was disturbed by these soul beasts, but over time, I got used to it…” After listening to Luo Chen’s words, Xuan Zi was silent at this moment. He couldn’t imagine that a child who had just turned six years old was forced to encounter such a thing just because of the abnormality of his own martial soul.

What he didn’t expect was that in the face of such danger, the other party actually gritted his teeth and held on. A six-year-old child who didn’t even have a soul ring could actually survive in the soul beast forest!

However, despite his emotion, Xuan Zi quickly reacted, looked at Luo Chen in front of him, and asked:
“Then how did you get into Shrek Academy? If I remember correctly, you need to submit relevant certificates to enter Shrek Academy. If you are wanted by the empire, Shrek Academy cannot be unaware of it.”

Hearing this, Luo Chen did not explain, but silently took out a palm-sized token from the soul guide bracelet on his wrist, and then handed it to Xuan Zi in front of him. On this token, there was a large gold-plated word engraved – Tang!

This token was exactly the guardian token that Tang Ya had given to Luo Chen when she appointed him as the guardian of the Tang Sect. However, Luo Chen was worried that he would lose it during his training, so he kept it in his soul guide storage bracelet for safekeeping.

“Are you from the Tang Sect?”

After seeing the token that Luo Chen handed to him, Xuan Zi instantly realized its meaning and was stunned. Didn’t he just say that he was being hunted? How come he has become a disciple of the Tang Sect now?
“Yes, Elder Xuan. Perhaps God took pity on me. When I broke through the second ring, I happened to meet someone from the Tang Sect. I had nowhere else to go, so I joined the Tang Sect under the Sect Master’s recruitment. Then the information I submitted to the academy was about the Tang Sect.”

As he spoke, Luo Chen showed a hint of regret on his face, as if he was grateful for joining the Tang Sect. If he had not met Bei Bei and Tang Ya and successfully entered the Tang Sect, he might still be wandering somewhere now.

“I see. No wonder…”

Just when Xuan Zi was about to say something, the expressions of both of them changed, because at this moment, there was a violent vibration coming from under their feet, as if something was about to break out from deep underground!

The vibration was extremely strong. Without any hesitation, the moment Luo Chen felt the vibration, who was about to use the Ghost Shadow Steps, he was grabbed by Xuanzi and lifted straight into the air.

“boom!”

Just as the two of them were suspended in the air, the ground beneath their feet collapsed in an instant. Along with the loud sound of rocks shaking, many of the towering trees around them also fell down.

After the dust settled, Luo Chen was able to use his Purple Demon Pupil to see that the place where the two had been standing had now turned into a circular pit with a diameter of more than ten meters. In this pit, one could vaguely see a “tail” covered with purple scales and with a hook at the end.

“Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion!”

After seeing this distinctive feature, Luo Chen instantly determined the type of soul beast, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

This is not because this soul beast is so rare, but because it is exactly the strong attack soul beast that Luo Chen needs. Moreover, the level of life breath sensed from it is neither more nor less, just at the ten thousand year level!
