Chapter 51: Soul Emperor Criminal, Entering Notting City, First Encounter with Tang San

Because it was difficult for Lin Yu to break through to the Soul King realm in the remaining time and join forces with Qian Renxue to fight against the Soul Douluo-level Tuoba Xi.

Therefore, if he wanted to possess a skill with powerful might in a short period of time, the only path was to research self-created spirit skills.

Qian Renxue said: "Lin Yu, we still have one year, let's research self-created spirit skills slowly. The priority right now is that we need to hurry and research a martial soul fusion skill."

"A martial soul fusion skill is our most important trump card for defeating Tuoba Xi."

"Hmm, Sister Xue'er is right. Let's spend more time on the martial soul fusion skill in the coming year." Lin Yu nodded, then said: "With my current strength, killing a Soul Emperor alone is no problem. I wonder if any of the people on that criminal list have been found yet."

"Let's go to the nearest Spirit Hall branch first to ask."

"Before going back to fight Tuoba Xi, I had best be able to kill three Soul Emperors first to complete the Element Second Trial."

"Good, then let's go to the nearest city first."

"Hmm!"

The five immediately turned around and left the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not long after leaving the forest, a Spirit Hall spirit master hurried over from the front.

And knelt on one knee before Lin Yu and Qian Renxue: "Subordinate pays respects to the Young Master, pays respects to Young Master Lin Yu!"

"After half a year of tracking, our Spirit Hall has investigated the whereabouts of the two escaped Soul Emperor criminals that Young Master Lin Yu focused on locking onto."

"Oh!?"

"That's great, it comes at just the right time." Lin Yu and Qian Renxue looked at each other with joy.

Lin Yu asked: "Where are these two Soul Emperor criminals now?"

"One is currently in Notting City in the Fasinuo Province, and the other is located in Liuli City within the Heaven Dou Empire."

Notting City was not far from the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for this Liuli City, Lin Yu also knew it was near Heaven Dou City, very far from here.

The location of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was in a mountain outside Liuli City.

"Inform me of the situation of that Soul Emperor criminal in Notting City, we will set off for Notting City immediately." Lin Yu said.

"Yes! Young Master Lin Yu!"

This spirit master responded and began to say: "This person is named Bi Zhiyu, control system, martial soul Vine Tree. According to our investigation, this person's soul power has already reached level 63."

"Bi Zhiyu has long since changed his name and surname, and has been living in Notting City for two years."

"He is a famous wealthy merchant locally, but no one knows that he is the Bi Zhiyu who slaughtered over a hundred people in a village back then."

"Our people are monitoring his every move 24 hours a day, waiting for Young Master Lin Yu to go and kill him at any time."

"Very good!" Lin Yu nodded.

"Then this subordinate will take his leave first."

This spirit master bowed respectfully and then left first.

"Let's set off too, to Notting City!"

"Alright, Young Clan Leader!"

"Drive!"

Lin Shuai drove the carriage, leading Lin Yu and the other four towards Notting City.

"Going to Notting City, huh!"

"According to the current timeline, Tang San should only be a third-year student at the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, right? I wonder if this Tang San has broken through level 20 yet."

Lin Yu smiled in his heart, then withdrew his thoughts, no longer caring about this so-called Tang San.

Because in his eyes, Tang San was no longer a character capable of stirring up the winds and clouds and influencing the situation of the continent.

What he needed to do right now was to make himself stronger!

Kill three Soul Emperor-level powerhouses and complete the Element God Second Trial.

One year later, defeat the Soul Douluo powerhouse Tuoba Xi together with Qian Renxue!

A long time later.

The carriage Lin Yu was riding finally arrived at this small city, Notting City.

"Young Clan Leader, we have arrived."

On the carriage, Lin Yu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said calmly: "Enter the city directly, go to the Spirit Hall branch here first."

"Okay."

Lin Yu sat on the carriage, looking out the window at this relatively backward city.

The carriage drove on the main street of Notting City; the environment, the scene, and the crowds of people coming and going gave him a feeling of being both familiar and strange.

Because this place was very similar to the Notting City in his impression from the original work.

The vast majority of the people encountered on the road were also ordinary commoners; it was rare to see spirit masters.

After all, people move to higher places, and spirit masters as a group would also yearn to go to larger cities to live better lives, so spirit masters were rare in such places.

Being able to see a Soul Elder would count as a big shot.

Yet such a small city actually hid a Soul Emperor criminal.

About ten minutes later.

The carriage finally arrived at the Notting City Spirit Hall branch.

Today happened to be during the period when the Spirit Hall branch was open for collecting spirit master subsidies, and there were some spirit masters entering and exiting at the gate.

The Spirit Hall not only helped children in remote mountain villages awaken their martial souls for free and bore the responsibility of maintaining social order, but also gave spirit masters spirit coin subsidies for free.

Allowing spirit masters to have a basic income to maintain their lives, so they wouldn't have to delay their cultivation because of earning money to survive.

As long as one was a one-ring spirit master, one could collect a subsidy of one Gold Spirit Coin from the Spirit Hall here every month.

A Great Spirit Master could collect three Gold Spirit Coins every month.

This was a means for the Spirit Hall to recruit spirit masters, but it indeed gave huge help to the vast majority of low-level spirit masters and civilian spirit masters.

And today happened to be the first day the Notting City branch was open for collecting subsidies every month, so there were relatively many spirit masters coming and going at this moment.

Lin Yu and the four got off the carriage and looked up at the long stairs entering the branch, seeing a middle-aged man on the stairs. He was leading a boy and a girl walking up the stairs.

"Oh?"

It was just an inadvertent glance, but Lin Yu's gaze landed steadily on their backs.

Because the backs of these three made him feel a bit familiar.

Especially the back of that girl, who was wearing a pink dress, had a pair of rabbit ears on her head, and was wearing a black scorpion braid that was very long, hanging down to her buttocks, walking with a skip in her step, which instantly made a person appear in Lin Yu's mind.

No! To be precise, it was a spirit beast!

A hundred-thousand-year spirit beast that had transformed and was recultivating, the Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao Wu!

"It's actually her?" Lin Yu instantly determined the girl's identity.

And very quickly, he guessed the identities of the boy accompanying her and that middle-aged man: "In that case, that boy is Tang San, and that middle-aged man is Yu Xiaogang."

"Heh, what a coincidence!"

"Meeting them as soon as I enter Notting City, and it's even at the Spirit Hall branch." Lin Yu sneered in his heart.

"Hmm?"

Tang San seemed to feel the gaze from behind, stopped his steps, and turned his head to look behind him.

Seeing Lin Yu and the others behind him, his gaze also landed on Lin Yu, who was of a similar age to him.

The two made eye contact for the first time.

"This guy..."

Tang San's intuition was very strong; with just one glance, he felt that Lin Yu was not simple.
