Chapter 36: An unexpected encounter with the Royal Fighting Team leads to a conflict!
After confirming that everything is safe and sound.
Tang Chuan then took out a ring with an antique design and a surface covered with patterns.
This is a low-level living creature storage soul guide that he bought from a second-hand shop in Notting City with all his savings from the past few years of frugal living.
The interior space of the ring is extremely small, less than one square meter.
But for him now, it is incredibly precious.
"Mother, please bear with it for a moment."
"My soul power level broke through to level 40 half a year ago, but I haven't gone to acquire my fourth soul ring yet. Before going to Heaven Dou City, we need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest first."
After saying that, he gently put the flowerpot into his soul tool.
Only after confirming that it was placed securely did he slowly stand up, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Tang Chuan's soul power level has not improved rapidly in the past few years, mainly because his innate soul power is only level one.
In the Douluo Continent, the level of innate soul power will determine the speed of a soul master's cultivation!
Why is Tang Chuan's innate soul power only level one? Logically speaking, his martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, so his innate soul power shouldn't be level one.
That's because his Blue Silver Grass martial soul isn't the true Blue Silver Emperor yet. His Blue Silver Grass is somewhat similar to Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao, a defective product among top-tier martial souls.
Only after a specific opportunity is encountered to awaken one's bloodline can its true power be unleashed.
In other words, Tang Chuan's current innate soul power level is indeed only level one. If he wants to increase his innate soul power level and speed up his cultivation, he must awaken the Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor.
His rapid increase in soul power level over the years is entirely due to the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone left behind by Ah Yin, as well as his ability to absorb soul rings beyond his level.
The right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor brought Tang Chuan a boost to his soul power level, but this boost slowed down after his soul power level reached level 30.
That's because of the soul power brought by the 100,000-year-old soul bone.
It's like a hundred bowls of rice, and Tang Chuan is just a child who is only a few years old. He can't finish all the rice in one day, so he can only eat it slowly every day.
In other words, the increase in his soul power level brought by the 100,000-year-old soul bone was gradual, rather than a direct increase from level one to dozens of levels.
Due to the limitations of all these factors, Tang Chuan's soul power level only reached level 40 six months ago. The reason he did not acquire a soul ring immediately was because he felt that his improvement in soul power level over the years was entirely due to soul rings and soul bones.
The reason for not rushing to break through is to consolidate the foundation. Only after obtaining the fourth spirit ring can we find an opportunity to fully awaken the Blue Silver Grass spirit into the Blue Silver Emperor!
…………
A few hours later.
Nottingham was brightly lit under the night sky, and there were still many people coming and going on the streets.
Walking briskly through the bustling market, Tang Chuan arrived at a familiar alleyway in the east of the city, a place where he had rented a car many times before.
In front of a caravan shop, several carriages were parked quietly, and an old coachman in a gray robe was dozing off to the side.
"Excuse me, do you have any carriages available?" Tang Chuan asked politely.
The old driver looked up at him and saw that he was neatly dressed, carrying a long bag, and had a calm face, clearly indicating that he was a traveler on a long journey. He immediately smiled and said:
"Yes, there's a taxi here. Where are you going, young man?"
"A small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest," Tang Chuan said without hesitation.
"Tsk... Star Dou Great Forest, huh? Even though it's just the outer area, it's not exactly a fun place." The old coachman frowned slightly, but then didn't say anything more. "Alright, I'll hurry. You'll be able to reach the lodging in the next town by tomorrow morning."
"Thank you." Tang Chuan nodded and handed over a few copper soul coins.
Before long, the carriage was ready to depart.
Tang Chuan climbed onto the train, draped the cloak over himself, leaned against the corner of the carriage, and closed his eyes to rest.
The sound of horses' hooves shattered the night, and the wheels rolled over the bluestone road, kicking up a cloud of dust.
A few days later.
The two successfully arrived at the town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As soon as I stepped into the town, a familiar atmosphere greeted me.
The streets were still bustling with vendors hawking their wares and soul hunters on the move, just as they had been when Tang Chuan first arrived a few years ago.
Without lingering, Tang Chuan headed straight for the tavern with the wooden sign at the west end of the town.
This is where he stayed before entering the Star Dou Great Forest many times. The owner is discerning and doesn't talk too much. The guest rooms are clean, and the food is not bad either.
"Boss, the usual place, give me some food." Tang Chuan pushed open the door, brushed off the dust of his journey, and casually found a corner against the wall to sit down.
"Hey, young man, I haven't seen you in years. I thought you'd changed careers and given up being a Soul Master." The shopkeeper, a fat man, walked over with a smile, wiping his hands. "The usual? Braised rabbit, Sichuan pepper grilled fish, and a pot of osmanthus wine, please?"
"Um."
Tang Chuan nodded, smiled and agreed, his gaze slightly lowered as he looked at the bustling crowd outside the window.
"Young man, you've come at the perfect time! There's just one last pot of osmanthus wine left!"
Before long, the aroma of the dishes filled the air.
Tang Chuan picked up his chopsticks, preparing to eat something before heading into the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable soul beast. However, just as he began to eat, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside the tavern.
Followed by.
Eight figures filed in, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Leading the way was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
He was handsome, with slightly messy short orange-red hair, simple and plain clothes, and a deep light shining in his bright eyes.
Behind him were seven young men in their early twenties.
Among the seven youths, the leader had long blue-gold hair, a slender figure, and while not exactly handsome, he was dressed in very luxurious clothes.
Beside him followed a woman with short, dark purple hair that looked quite dashing. Most strangely, she had a pair of green eyes.
The next few people were all unique in their own way.
The last person to walk was a girl. She was wearing a blue-purple dress, her face was covered by a veil, and her eyes showed no emotion.
All one could sense from her was loneliness and desolation!
Tang Chuan's gaze narrowed slightly as he swept over the eight people one by one. When his eyes finally landed on the middle-aged man with short orange-red hair, his gaze flickered almost imperceptibly.
"Qin Ming?" Tang Chuan murmured to himself, his brows furrowing slightly.
Based on his memories from his previous life and the appearance of these people, he could roughly guess their identities. They should be the Royal Fighting Team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy!
At the same time, Qin Ming had already led his men to the large table in the center of the tavern and sat down. He casually gestured:
"Boss, bring me some of your signature dishes. Spiced rabbit, spicy porcini mushrooms, king eel slices, steamed wild pheasant, and finally, a jar of your osmanthus wine."
The owner greeted them with a beaming smile, saying respectfully, "Distinguished guests, the dishes are all excellent, I guarantee you'll be satisfied, but—"
"Just what?" Qin Ming raised an eyebrow.
The boss explained with a wry smile:
"Our shop is out of osmanthus wine. The delivery person is still on the way, I'm so sorry."
Just then, a tall, burly young man with immense strength stood up. It was Shi Mo. He pointed to the wine on Tang Chuan's table and said in a deep voice:
"Since it's sold out, what happens to that pot?"
"This was the last pot, and it's already been sold to that young man." The shopkeeper's expression wasn't good. He clearly knew that these people in front of him were Soul Masters, and he couldn't afford to offend them, so he hurriedly explained.
Qin Ming glanced at Tang Chuan's table, waved his hand slightly at the boss, and said calmly, "Then forget it, just bring a pot of wine."
Although he wasn't angry, he still gave Tang Chuan a few more glances.
However, at this moment, Dugu Yan stood up, her brows slightly furrowed, and said, "Since Teacher Qin wants to drink osmanthus wine, then leave it to me."
As she spoke, she walked straight toward Tang Chuan.
"Young man, would you sell me this bottle of wine? I'll pay double the price." Dugu Yan looked at Tang Chuan with a rather arrogant gaze as she approached the table.
"Not for sale."
Tang Chuan didn't even look up, lightly picking up food with his chopsticks, his tone as calm as the wind.
"Not selling? That's not up to you."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's face darkened, she snorted coldly, and reached out to snatch the bottle of wine.
As Dugu Bo's granddaughter, knowing that her grandfather was a Title Douluo, she had been quite arrogant in the Heaven Dou Empire all these years. Even in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, few people dared to provoke her.
In addition, this is the Douluo Continent, a place where martial arts are valued and fighting is commonplace. Conflicts over a room, a grilled fish, and other trivial matters are already quite common and taken for granted.
