Soul Land: Legend of the Spider Emperor

Before long, shortly after Tang San's arrival, Ye Hao, with his drowsy eyes, came up to the two of them.

"Master, can we depart now?" Ye Hao let out a yawn. Since he crossed over to this world, he had been unable to sleep on the first night.

Although he was already a soul master, who wouldn't want to sleep in and have a lazy morning? But when Ye Hao thought about hunting soul beasts today, he couldn't help but get excited, rolling around on the bed and fantasizing about his first soul skill.

Ye Hao had thought it through. At the very least, he hoped to encounter a hundred-year soul beast. He didn't dare to imagine a thousand-year one. What if it exploded and killed him?

Each soul ring had its absorption limit. One must respect the principles of science. They shouldn't aim too high and think that the first soul ring would be a thousand-year one and be super awesome.

No, that would only bring unnecessary danger. Wasn't it great to be alive? Why seek death?

Being low-key was the way to go when Ye Hao had nothing. He didn't have Tang San's title as a son of luck, nor did he have a powerful backing. It was better to keep everything low-key.

Maintaining a low profile and not being flashy.

The Master looked deeply at Ye Hao and nodded. He boarded the carriage and was followed closely by Tang San and Ye Hao.

With a shout from the coachman, the carriage slowly left the academy, gradually disappearing from sight, completely vanishing into the hazy night.

Through winding paths, the carriage sped along the narrow road.

Inside the carriage, the Master spoke incessantly, explaining his lengthy discourses and sharing a wealth of knowledge about soul beasts, soul masters, and martial souls. Tang San listened attentively, nodding from time to time.

And Ye Hao, on the other hand, had a sleepy appearance. He had heard these words countless times before, starting from when he read the novel. For Ye Hao, what the Master was saying at the moment was undoubtedly nonsense.

"We are going to the Hunting Soul Forest on this journey. It is a place where the empire specifically raises soul beasts. For you two beginners, there will definitely be suitable soul rings for you inside." The Master spoke confidently, with a hint of inexplicable self-assurance.

The Hunting Soul Forest was not the Star Dou Forest. With the Master, a Level 29 Grandmaster, ensuring their safety, they should be relatively safe. However, if they encountered powerful soul beasts, there was a chance that the three of them would end up being the soul beasts' excrement the next day.

"Master, can soul beasts also be raised?" Tang San raised a question.

Before the Master could respond, Ye Hao glanced around in boredom and spoke, "Soul beasts are divided into ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year categories. Ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts have weak strength and can be raised by the empire. However, once a soul beast reaches the thousand-year level, they develop human-like intelligence. There are no friendly thousand-year soul beasts in the Hunting Soul Forest we are heading to. Otherwise, with the Master's ability, the three of us would not only be unable to hunt them, but we might not even survive to see the next day."

As soon as he finished speaking, an awkward expression appeared on the Master's face. This child was speaking the truth, but even though he was cramped, he was still a Grandmaster.

(Yes, a Grandmaster specialized in farting.)

"Master, is that true?" Tang San's eyes brightened upon hearing Ye Hao's words. He had never realized that soul beasts were so varied.

"Cough... cough..." The Master coughed, trying to cover up his embarrassment. "No, there is no mistake. Ye Hao is right."

"Ye Hao, who taught you all this knowledge?"

The Master stared at Ye Hao intently, finally revealing his true self. Knowledge about these kinds of soul beasts was not something a beginner like Ye Hao should know.

Ye Hao: "..."

Is having a mouth enough?

"When I awakened my martial soul at the Martial Soul Hall yesterday, it was Master Matthew who taught me. Master, please continue, continue."

The corner of the Master's mouth twitched slightly. What else is there to say? You've said everything I wanted to say.

"Where were we?"

"Right! Soul beasts!"

The Master continued, "Ye Hao already covered ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year soul beasts. Next is the ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Ten-thousand-year soul beasts are extremely rare throughout the continent. The cultivation process of soul beasts is different from that of humans. They need to cultivate year after year, and the dangers they face during cultivation are countless times greater than those faced by humans. Some ten-thousand-year soul beasts are even on par with Title Douluos. After accumulating years of experience, they have already understood everything about humans. Therefore, when hunting ten-thousand-year soul beasts, it is necessary for soul masters to form specialized hunting teams. Otherwise, going there would be a futile death."

"As for hundred-thousand-year soul beasts..."

"There are very few soul masters in the current world who possess hundred-thousand-year soul rings, and I know very little about the research on hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. But for you now, knowing these things is already sufficient."

Tang San contemplated, diligently recording everything the Master described. It was like an awakening, the true knowledge he had gained since becoming a soul master.

"Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts..."

Doesn't our academy have one?

"I once read about hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in an ancient book in my village when I was young. Now that I think about it, it should be accurate."

As Ye Hao finished speaking, the Master and Tang San's eyes lit up.

"The so-called hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are soul beasts that have experienced the Heavenly Tribulation and reached a lifespan of one hundred thousand years. When soul beasts reach a cultivation of one hundred thousand years, they have two choices. The first is to maintain their current form, but their lifespan is only a short thousand years. The second is to transform into human form."

"Transform into human form?"

The Master pondered, "I have heard some people mention this, but there is no one who has ever seen a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form, let alone encountered one."

Alright, our academy has one. How about we bring that rabbit back and strap it to the operating table for some "research"?

The sun rose, casting warm sunlight over every corner of the earth.

Inside the carriage, the Master took out a belt made of twenty-four pieces, specifically giving it to Tang San during Ye Hao's absence. As his only disciple and with the twin martial souls, Tang San's future achievements are definitely higher than Ye Hao's. And Tang San's second martial soul is the Haotian Hammer, the number one weapon martial soul in the world!

Ye Hao: Is that really the case?

"Here, take this."

"? Teacher, what is this?"

"A soul tool."

"A soul tool?"

"I obtained this belt thirty years ago. It has been with me all these years, but it has been underutilized. I hope that in your hands, it can shine again. Each of the twenty-four jade stones in it has a storage space of one cubic meter."

Hearing this, Tang San was overjoyed. He quickly tied the belt around his waist, and it fit quite well.

Before, Tang San had been worried about the issue of hidden weapons. Hidden weapons are weapons used covertly, catching others off guard and causing death.

Now, with this belt, the problem of storing hidden weapons is easily solved.

"Teacher, you gave me the soul tool, then... what about Ye Hao?"

In the face of Tang San's doubts, the Master smiled slightly.

"What do you think of Ye Hao?"

"What do I think?"

Tang San pondered carefully...
