After returning to his room and finishing washing up with Xiao Tao's help, Ning Bei felt a little excited thinking that he would obtain his first soul ring tomorrow.
However, many fanfictions in his previous life wrote about protagonists absorbing first soul rings that exceeded their limits, resulting in them being covered in blood, which made Ning Bei's heart palpitate.
"Xiao Tao, did it hurt when you absorbed your first soul ring?"
"Ah? It didn't hurt, Young Master, why do you ask?"
Ning Tao looked at Ning Bei in confusion, not understanding why he would ask such a question.
"Well, what was the age of the first soul ring you absorbed?"
Ning Tao pondered for a moment and then replied:
"It seems to be a Star Demon Tiger of about 280 years."
"I see."
Thinking that as a support-type soul master, he didn't need to get a soul ring that exceeded his limits, and that absorbing a normal-age soul beast wouldn't cause much pain, Ning Bei felt a little more at ease.
Besides, even if he wanted to absorb a soul ring beyond his limits, his parents and the two enshrined elders would never agree.
He was already the youngest child of the sect leader and was usually loved very much. Now that he had awakened a martial soul with innate full soul power, they treated him even more like a treasure. Absorbing a soul ring beyond his limits? Don't even think about it.
Ning Bei entered dreamland with anticipation, and in his dream, nine soul rings emerged on his Pill Tower, the last one being a dazzling red soul ring.
The peers of the sect looked at his arrival and secretly said to the side:
"Look, it's Medicine God Douluo."
"Really, so handsome."
"Let's go, my kidneys haven't been good lately, I'm going to ask Medicine God for a pill!"
The morning sun shone into the room, and Ning Bei was sleeping soundly in bed.
Knocking sounds of bang, bang entered his ears.
"Young Master, Young Master, wake up quickly, Sword Douluo is waiting for you at the sect gate!"
Ning Bei rubbed his eyes and got up.
"Coming, how are you more excited than me, the one hunting for the soul ring."
With Xiao Tao's service, Ning Bei washed up, ate breakfast, and came to the sect gate, where his cheap parents and Chen Xin were already waiting.
"Bei'er, come over here quickly."
Ning's Mother waved to Ning Bei from afar.
After skillfully greeting the elders, he came to Ning's Mother's side.
"This is your first time traveling far, listen to your Sword Grandpa in everything, understand? Also, this is for you."
Ning's Mother instructed Ning Bei while taking out a necklace and hanging it around his neck.
"This is?"
"This is a storage necklace, with twenty cubic meters of space inside. Mother has already put in food, water, and your clothes. I was originally going to give it to you yesterday after you awakened your martial soul, but you ran to the library."
Looking at the beautiful necklace on his chest, Ning Bei smiled happily. With soul power and a storage soul tool, storing things would be much more convenient in the future.
"Thank you, Mother!"
Ning Fengzhi also stepped forward to advise:
"The Star Dou Great Forest is not like the sect. Temper your nature, follow your Sword Grandfather, and don't run too far."
"Got it."
Then, the couple nodded to Chen Xin.
After Chen Xin returned the greeting, he didn't waste any more words. He summoned his Seven Kill Sword martial soul, placed it horizontally on the ground, and stepped onto it.
"Bei'er, come up."
It wasn't Ning Bei's first time riding Chen Xin's sword. When he first arrived, everything seemed new and he clamored for Chen Xin to take him to experience the feeling of flying a few times.
"Coming, Sword Grandfather."
He skillfully jumped onto the Seven Kill Sword and came in front of Chen Xin.
"Let's go, Sword Grandfather."
In the eyes of Ning Fengzhi and his wife, the two rose into the sky and headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.
Clouds occasionally brushed past Ning Bei, but he didn't feel the wind's abrasion.
Chen Xin used a protective shield formed by soul power to envelop him.
After several hours of flight, the two arrived at their destination.
Jumping off the Seven Kill Sword, Ning Bei looked at the endless forest in front of him, and his heart was filled with excitement.
"Finally, I'm about to take the first step to becoming a soul master."
The two walked towards the forest, and the scene in front of them suddenly darkened. The towering trees that blotted out the sky blocked the sunlight, and the countless Blue Silver Grasses embellished the dark forest with a little light, bringing a magical visual experience.
"Bei'er, from now on, don't leave my side. The Star Dou Great Forest is full of threats."
"I understand, Sword Grandfather."
Chen Xin smiled when he saw Ning Bei being so well-behaved:
"There's no need to be tense all the time. I can handle some dangers."
"This time our target is the Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros, a soul beast that likes to breathe out spiritual energy and feeds on Blue Silver Grass. So we just need to look for places where Blue Silver Grass is dense. The growth of Blue Silver Grass can also produce some spiritual energy."
"Then aren't these rhinos already courting death?"
Ning Bei nodded happily when he saw that he didn't have to run around like a headless fly. He complained in his heart and followed Chen Xin into the forest.
From time to time, they encountered a few short-sighted soul beasts, but Chen Xin slightly released his aura and scared them away.
Before long, the two found a valley. The brightness of the valley was obviously higher than on the way here, indicating that there was a lot of Blue Silver Grass here.
The two continued to advance into the valley and found several soul beasts standing in place, bowing their heads and gnawing on the Blue Silver Grass on the ground. They were the Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros, the target of this trip.
"Found them. To determine the age of the Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros, look at the length of its tail. Tails less than a hundred years old will not exceed ten centimeters, and will increase by ten centimeters every hundred years thereafter."
Chen Xin, seeing that they had found their target, began to explain to Ning Bei how to determine the age of a Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros.
Following Chen Xin's method, he calculated the tail lengths of several Spirit Devouring Rhinoceroses and found one that was close to 400 years old.
"That's the one, Grandpa Sword."
"Alright."
Chen Xin disappeared from Ning Bei's side as he spoke, appearing above the target's head in the next second, his speed astonishing.
"Titled Douluo, so terrifying."
With a punch, he knocked out the unlucky Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros, grabbed it, and returned to Ning Bei's side, dropping the prey on the ground. The whole process took less than 3 seconds.
Ning Bei watched with envy, but as a small support-type Soul Master, this kind of fighting style was ultimately not for him.
Chen Xin took out a delicate dagger from his ring and handed it to Ning Bei.
"Bei'er, its eyes are its weak point, come on."
Ning Bei took the dagger and swallowed, in both his past and present lives, he had never even killed a chicken.
After 5 minutes of mental preparation, Ning Bei closed his eyes and ended the Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros's life with a single stab. A yellow soul ring floated from the Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros's corpse.
"Release your spirit, and then try to guide the soul ring with your soul power."
Ning Bei immediately did as he was told, and the soul ring seemed to be attracted by the Pill Tower, slowly fitting onto the tower.
An hour passed quietly, and Ning Bei opened his eyes, looking at the faint yellow soul ring on his spirit, a look of excitement on his face.
Chen Xin, seeing that Ning Bei had finished absorbing the soul ring, stepped forward and asked:
"How is it, Bei'er, what is your soul skill?"
