Chapter 11: The Girl Being Chased by Soul Beasts【Thanks for Reading】

Wu Lin, you……

It's really too strong.

Jiang Nannan's face was full of emotion as she looked at the person opposite her, and she couldn't help muttering.

She wasn't sure exactly how strong, but judging by the situation, Wu Lin, who could knock out an eight-hundred-year Soul Beast with a single punch, certainly didn't belong to the frail support-type Soul Masters.

Don't keep sighing.

What is Nannan's second soul skill? Let's see it.

At this moment, Tang Wulin's gaze also fell on Jiang Nannan, and he asked with a smile.

Okay.

Hearing this, Jiang Nannan quickly nodded; in an instant, the light of her second hundred-year Soul Ring flared, and at the same time, a strange color flashed in her cute, playful eyes as she stared straight at Tang Wulin.

For a moment, she even looked expectant, wondering whether her second soul skill could control Wu Lin.

Has Nannan used her soul skill?

Tang Wulin glanced at her and said lightly.

He even had a hint of doubt on his face as he looked up and down at the girl before him.

Jiang Nannan: ……

Oh!

I've used my soul skill!

The girl said in frustration, and as she spoke she blinked her eyes, making the implication obvious.

Charm?

Tang Wulin said thoughtfully, since it had no effect on him, it was probably that most useless soul skill for an agility-attack martial soul—Charm.

What does the agility-attack system emphasize? Speed, swiftness, and a thunderous force too fast to cover one's ears. Launching Charm before an attack just seems out of place.

Mm-hmm, just like Xiao Wu, the Soft Bone Battle Spirit from ten thousand years ago, my second soul skill is also Charm.

Why won't Wu Lin fall for my Charm!

Jiang Nannan nodded in agreement, though she couldn't help muttering doubtfully, 'This is Charm, after all.'

You.

If you want to Charm me, you're still ten thousand years too early.

Tang Wulin smiled warmly, casually ruffling her head, and spoke softly.

Mm.

Ten thousand years, huh.

Jiang Nannan pursed her lips and muttered softly.

What do you mean ten thousand years? That's so long—how could anyone possibly wait that long?

……………………

Tang Wulin and Jiang Nannan were actually in the middle of the South Soul Forest, and as they headed outward, Tang Wulin introduced the Soul Beasts they encountered to the curious Jiang Nannan.

This is Azure Bamboo; my first Soul Ring came from it. It's tough and upright, quite good among ordinary plant-type Soul Beasts, with a thousand years of cultivation. Since it has no combat ability, it's easy to beat, so you can try fighting it later.

This is the Dark Cat, with eight hundred years of cultivation, a darkness-attributed Soul Beast leaning toward speed. With Nannan's current strength, she can't handle it yet.

This is the Bowbow Chicken, a poultry-type Soul Beast with little combat power, probably suited for those with a Chick martial soul.

You mean that clueless little creature? It's called the Useless Dog, and it's good for nothing.

Faced with Jiang Nannan's repeated curious questions, Tang Wulin responded with indulgence each time.

Wu Lin.

That Soul Beast looks really powerful.

At this moment, a figure caught Jiang Nannan's attention.

Huh? This is……

Following the direction of her gaze, Tang Wulin also turned his eyes over, and what came into view was a three-headed snake with a dark green color.

Even though it had its back to them, its height over four meters and its glossy green scales clearly showed its considerable intimidation.

This is……

Mandala Snake?

Seeing the Soul Beast's back, Tang Wulin's eyes flashed, and four words instantly came to mind: Could this snake in front of him not be the famous Mandala Snake?

Ten thousand years ago, this snake nearly killed Tang San and his disciple in a double strike—it was the ancestor of who knows how many generations ago.

A four-hundred-year Mandala Snake—if I had met this guy four years ago, the Forest Director would surely have been thrilled." Tang Wulin pictured an old man in his mind—the Forest Director who had once taken him to hunt Soul Rings, and who had most wanted him to absorb a ring like this.

In recent years, he had often thought of finding this Soul Beast to check it off, but he had never actually seen it—yet this time, bringing Nannan to hunt for her second Soul Ring, he ended up seeing it.

Nannan, this is a Mandala Snake.

It's a formidable snake-type Soul Beast; this one in particular would be hard for an ordinary Great Soul Master to defeat easily, especially for a Soul Master whose soul skill is… farting.

Tang Wulin said seriously.

Oh.

I know, this is the Mandala Snake that Wu Lin told me about—ten thousand years ago it nearly scored a double kill, taking down Tang San and his teacher.

Hearing this, Jiang Nannan's eyes lit up instantly; she had obviously recalled something, and she spoke earnestly.

These past years, whenever she trained diligently, Wu Lin would tell her stories from long ago, always leaving her amazed and fascinated.

That's right.

However, this snake only comes out when hunting for food; normally it doesn't move… Come on, I'll take you to see what it's hunting.

Tang Wulin smiled warmly.

Can Wu Lin beat him?

Jiang Nannan's first reaction was to look at him warily, asking concernedly. Although this Soul Beast's cultivation is half that of the previous Soft-boned Rabbit, but can a rabbit and a snake be the same?

Especially, a four-hundred-year-old Soul Beast from ten thousand years ago still almost killed the God King Tang San, and it's still terrifying.

「Idiot。」

「Do you think I'm that kind of ordinary Great Soul Master？」

Tang Wulin laughed out loud, looking solemnly at Jiang Nannan before him, he gently pinched her little nose, smiling as he said.

「I……」

Feeling the warmth on her little nose, Jiang Nannan blushed shyly and lightly nodded.

「Me too。」

「Wu Lin is second-rate。」

She muttered so earnestly.

Tang Wulin：？

God damn, what a second-rate person.

「................ 」

On the other side, as Tang Wulin and the other's footsteps caught up with the Mandala Snake, they discovered that this Soul Beast's speed was very slow, as if it were teasing some prey.

「Wu Lin, this Soul Beast seems more interested in the act of chasing prey than in eating it, right? 」

Jiang Nannan wore a thoughtful expression, she asked softly.

「Even Soul Beasts play this game。」

Looking at the situation before him, Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

Truly, the world is full of wonders; even a pure Mandala Snake behaves like this—indeed, only peculiar Soul Beasts exist, not peculiar A Bai.

But soon, upon seeing the prey being chased by it, the two couldn't help but become unsettled.

「I just slipped out to take a look……」

「How could we encounter the legendary Mandala Snake! 」

With a tender voice coming, a figure struggling to run also appeared in their line of sight—the target being chased turned out to be a human little girl.

This is an exceptionally cute little girl with two bun hairstyles, looking about six years old; she has only a yellow Soul Ring on her body, her soul power level is not high, as if she had just broken through to Soul Master not long ago.

「Such a young little sister? 」

Jiang Nannan was momentarily stunned, she couldn't help but ask.

「This Mandala Snake. 」

「But we have to kill it. 」

Tang Wulin's face showed an excited expression as he looked at the Mandala Snake before him, as if he were not looking at a Soul Beast but at a heavenly treasure.

Leaving aside the fact that she is being hunted, a little girl this young being a Soul Master is already worth making friends with.

Moreover, at this moment, the system also sensed: 【Detected an important character nearby】

【Please, host, take her down……cough, sign in to her】

PS: There are still two more updates early today.
