Chapter 15

Dai Xiyu smiled, and didn't go after.

Today, he won't continue cultivating; instead, he plans to make a trip to the Starlight Forest.

At the very least, he needs to put on a show; he can't let others suspect the origin of his soul ring.

After returning to the palace and reporting to the Star Luo Emperor, upon receiving permission, he found a carriage and set off for the Starlight Forest.

The Starlight Forest is an artificial small forest of the Star Luo Empire, said to have been created by the Star Luo Emperor two hundred years ago, specifically to provide soul rings for the nobility's children.

The soul beasts inside were all captured from the Star Dou Great Forest over the past two hundred years.

The highest cultivation level is only five thousand years, which can provide a soul master with the first four soul rings of perfect age limits.

Setting out from Star Luo City, after just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he had already reached the forest's edge.

The carriage stopped; Dai Xiyu opened the door, got out, and looked around.

Before him stood a massive iron gate six meters high, with tall, thick walls on either side perfectly sealing off the forest inside and out.

In front of the gate, armored soldiers stood guard, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.

Dai Xiyu presented the prince's token, naturally allowing unimpeded passage; the guards respectfully opened the gate for him.

After entering the forest, Dai Xiyu did not go deep inside.

In the outskirts, he found a relatively thick tree, leapt up, and sat on its trunk.

Afterwards, he opened the system shop with his thoughts.

【A Bag of Gold Soul Coins (1000 pcs): 1000 Luck】

……

Actually, Dai Xiyu felt he didn't really need to buy anything urgently.

The third martial soul he wanted to buy was also beyond his means, lacking several million luck.

"Anyway, since we're here, we might as well improve our combat ability."

After a moment's thought, Dai Xiyu decided to first enhance his three-dimensional attributes.

Increasing his physical strength would give him more adaptability; then today, in this Starlight Forest, he would hunt soul beasts to gain combat experience.

Now, his physique and soul power are unmatched among his peers.

What he lacks is only combat experience.

As for soul power, there's no rush to increase it.

If he increased it too quickly, he would inevitably be noticed by the Star Luo Emperor.

"Really, everywhere there are restrictions; once I deal with Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai, I'll definitely find a chance to leave Star Luo, so I can upgrade without restraint."

"Also, the other Luck Maidens must be intercepted early, starting from childhood; the longer we delay, the worse it becomes."

Thinking this, Dai Xiyu first chose to redeem 9 free attribute points.

【You successfully redeemed Free Attribute Points +9, Luck -1260000】

After distributing the nine free attribute points evenly, Dai Xiyu's attributes also changed.

【Name: Dai Xiyu】

【Gender: Male】

【Age: 9】

【First Martial Soul: White Tiger】

【Second Martial Soul: Sharingan】

【Soul Power: Level 22】

【Strength: 68】

【Agility: 68】

【Stamina: 68】

【Lifespan: 305 days 20 hours 41 minutes】

……

After raising his attributes, Dai Xiyu stood up and then punched the nearby trunk.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, wood chips flew, and the trunk was directly stamped with a fist print, as deep as if chopped hard by an axe.

Force acts mutually, but as strength and stamina increase, the toughness of bones and flesh also greatly improves.

Therefore, Dai Xiyu felt little pain.

"Although he's only nine years old, his physique is already beyond ordinary people."

"If he also used soul power, a punch to a person would likely at least break bones and tendons."

Dai Xiyu shook his head with a wry smile, feeling fairly satisfied.

After testing his improved physique, Dai Xiyu jumped directly down from the tree.

Immediately afterward, he roamed the outskirts of the forest, beginning to hunt soul beasts.

For Dai Xiyu now, as long as the soul beast is not over five hundred years old, he can basically handle it easily.

As an assault-system battle soul master with a White Tiger martial soul, he is not like Yu Xiaogang, who almost lost his life dealing with a four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake.

Furthermore, with his near-perverse second martial soul, the Copy Wheel Eye, even against a thousand-year soul beast, the outcome is still uncertain.

In the Starlight Forest, even five-thousand-year soul beasts are extremely rare, mostly located in the center.

In these outskirts, soul beasts over five hundred years old are seldom seen; it can be said to be very safe.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

A day quickly passed.

At a certain spot on the outskirts of the Starlight Forest, Dai Xiyu's two soul rings released, the light of the first soul ring burst forth.

The tiger's roar echoed through the mountains!

Roar——!!

Opposite him, a five-hundred-year-old Blazing Light Tiger was shaken so violently that it flung its head wildly, seeing stars.

Immediately afterward, Dai Xiyu's second soul ring, a thousand-year ring, blazed with purple light.

Second soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

Dai Xiyu's body instantly began to swell, muscles bulging, his skin covered in black stripes.

His strength surged greatly, as if endless. He stepped forward violently, his form shooting out instantly.

Whoosh!

In the instant he left his spot, Dai Xiyu switched martial souls, activating his second martial soul, the Copy Wheel Eye.

The whole world seemed to slow down.

Even the Blazing Light Tiger, originally extremely fast in speed and strength, became as slow as a snail.

Dai Xiyu instantly appeared beside the Blazing Light Tiger, and before it could react, he threw a punch that struck its waist.

Howl——!!

This five-hundred-year-old Blazing Light Tiger let out a mournful cry, its whole body flying away.

It traced a parabolic arc, finally crashing to the ground ten meters away.

Midway, one could even hear the crack of bones breaking.

After landing, the Blazing Light Tiger struggled for a while, but ultimately could not get up again.

Its vertebrae were shattered, making survival impossible.

Dai Xiyu stepped back, sat down on the tree roots, and began to recover his expended soul power.

This Blazing Light Tiger was already the thirteenth soul beast he had hunted today.

Among them, eight were one or two hundred years old, three were five hundred years old, and two were about seven hundred years old.

When encountering soul beasts not exceeding a hundred years old, Dai Xiyu would not even lift a finger, for such beasts could not pose any pressure to him.

It is precisely this method that allowed Dai Xiyu to gain considerable combat experience in this day.

Even his demeanor gained a hint of fierce, killing intent.

Not long after.

The Blazing Light Tiger ahead had specks of yellow light emerging from its body, eventually condensing into a yellow halo.

This is the soul ring produced upon the death of a soul beast.

Dai Xiyu now naturally has no need for a soul ring.

After resting a while longer, feeling his soul power mostly restored,

He stood up and glanced at the sky.

It was already late; time to head back.

After stretching his limbs, Dai Xiyu left the Starlight Forest following the direction he remembered.
