Chapter 14: The City of Soto

Kingdom of Barak, Soto City.

The Barak Kingdom is one of the four kingdoms under the Heaven Dou Empire, located in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Heaven Dou Empire originally intended to use it as a barrier against the Star Luo Empire, but due to the Martial Spirit Palace's obstruction, the Four Kingdoms looked like a country and China.

The city of Soto is known as the breadbasket of the Barak Kingdom. As one of the two important cities of the Barak Kingdom, the prosperity of Soto City is far from comparable to that of Notting City.

A boy and a girl walk down a wide street in the city of Soto.

The boy has black hair and black eyes, and is also wearing a black trench coat.

The girl had long dark blue hair, a pinkish-gray mist swirling in her pupils, and a long blue and white dress.

The two stopped in front of a building on the side of the street.

It is a three-storey building with a delicate rose red paint on the façade.

The boy is Lin Jing, and the girl on the side is naturally Lin Yin.

Lin Jing looked at the building with the sign of "Rose Hotel" in front of him, and seemed to remember something.

"That's it, right? ... It should be. Lin Jing asked and replied.

"Are we really going in?" The girl's voice was glutinous.

"We just went in and had a plot, what do you think." Lin Jing said.

"Okay..."Shade was a little reluctant, she liked pink to rose.

......

Bang... Bang –

Before the two of them could enter the hall, they heard the sound of a fierce battle.

In the hall, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old and a boy of about twelve years old were fighting. In front of the counter on the side, a pretty girl was looking at the two anxiously.

The five soul rings floating around the two of them and the floor tiles that seemed to have been plowed over in the middle of the hotel lobby showed that this battle was not a child's play.

As the boy punched the boy's white jade-like hands, the figures of the two staggered again.

"Lin Jing and Lin Yin, help Xiao San fight the bad guys!" The girl suddenly saw Lin Jing and Lin Yin, and shouted at the two in a crisp voice.

"Brother Jing!" The boy also noticed Lin Jing at the door.

The boys and girls in the hall were none other than Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Huh?" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy turned his head to look at Lin Jing when he heard the sound

I saw that the young man was handsome, with blonde hair scattered on his back, and his two eyes were even more pupils, which looked very bewitching.

If it was usual, the boy must be a beautiful man. But now, the young man's muscles are bulging, his skin is covered with white hair, a black word "Wang" can be faintly seen on his forehead, and there are three soul rings floating beside him, two yellow and one purple.

Lin Jing and Lin Yin naturally recognized the teenager.

The evil-eyed white tiger Dai Mubai, the boss of the Shrek Seven Monsters in the original book.

"Bullying my junior brother, the road is narrow." Lin Jing looked at Dai Mubai and smiled evilly.

"Why, you want to intervene too?" Dai Mubai said unceremoniously.

Lin Jing stretched out his right hand and shook it, and the martial spirit possessed him.

White bone gauntlets appeared, and cold light flashed on the sharp bone claws of both hands.

Not only that, but Lin Jing's chest, back of neck, and knees were also covered with hideous bone armor. A strange purple light shone in Lin Jing's eyebrows.

The same three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, rose from under Lin Jing's feet.

"Shade of the woods, take a hand." Lin Jing said to the girl beside him.

"Huh? ... Yes! Okay. The glutinous voice reacted. Martial Soul Summoning~"

Pink and white flowers with red lines bloomed in the girl's hands, and two yellow soul rings also appeared with the appearance of the flowers.

"Little San, I'm going to get on it~" Lin Jing said to Tang San, and then looked at Dai Mubai.

"Wait, little brother, I have something to say." Dai Mubai's pupils shrank, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

When Dai Mubai heard Lin Jing call the boy who had been fighting with him back and forth, he would not be naïve to think that Lin Jing was a parallel soul master.

Between confessing and being beaten in public, Dai Mubai made a wise choice.

......

In the end, several people didn't fight, and a big stone fell in the hotel manager's heart.

"Farewell, goodbye to Shrek Academy." Dai Mubai didn't say anything, and left the hotel with a tattered outfit.

"How did he know we were going to Shrek Academy?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Appearing during this time period, we are all soul masters around twelve years old and above level twenty, and it is most likely that we will go to Shrek Academy to sign up." Lin Jing explained.

"Level 20 or above?" This time it was Tang San who asked.

"Well, Shrek Academy only recruits students whose soul power can reach level 20 or above before the age of twelve." Lin Jing added.

When Tang San Xiaowu heard this, he immediately had a strong curiosity about Shrek Academy.

...

A head poked out from behind the counter.

Seeing that the battle was over, the hotel manager hurriedly climbed out of the counter and walked to the four of them, and said with a smile.

"You guys are really amazing, you became a soul master at a young age." The hotel manager said to Lin Jing and Lin Yin again. "Thanks to you, if I continue to fight, I won't be able to do this business."

"How much does it cost to compensate for these?" Tang San saw that the hotel lobby was in a mess and asked out loud.

"No, no, Dai Shao said it, these losses are all his, Dai Shao is our honored guest, just record it in his account. I'm really sorry to delay the time of a few people, and as compensation, the contemptible people decided to provide two large rooms for a few people, rent-free for three days. The room is on the top floor, the golden one is the red ocean, and the purple one is the violet paradise. ”

As he spoke, the hotel manager took out two keys, one gold and one purple, from his pocket and handed them to Tang San and Lin Jing respectively.

"Wasn't there just one room left?" Xiao Wu asked suddenly.

"Uh... Just as the fight started, one of the guests checked out. The manager thought for a while and said, taking advantage of the fact that the four of them were not paying attention, he turned around and glared at the waiter at the front desk.

"The contemptible surname is Wang, if you need to find me in the front work room, I will leave first." Manager Wang said.

With that, Manager Wang hurriedly left the hall.

"Little San, have a good life~" Lin Jing looked at Tang San meaningfully, and left the hotel with Lin Yin.

Xiao Wu blushed when she saw this scene.

Tang San: ???

.....

Lin Jing and Lin Yin wandered aimlessly on the street, and before they knew it, they came to the auction house in Soto City.

The Soto City Auction House is one of the iconic buildings of Soto City. The exterior of the auction house resembles a low column, with a curved gap along the side of the street. The auction house is divided into four floors, and the whole is made of a black stone.

The gate of the auction house is in the gap of the column, and you can see that the gray-white gate is five or six meters high, and in front of the gate there are eight dark statues, symbolizing the eight soul beasts unique to the vicinity of Soto City.

"That's right!" Lin Jing suddenly thought of something and said to Lin Yin. "You wait here at the door first, I'll go in and do something."

"What's the matter?" Lin Yin was a little curious.

"Sell soul bones." Lin Jing whispered.

The second floor of the auction hall, the trading room.

Lin Jing placed a green soul bone on the table, and across the table sat a thin middle-aged man.

"Hundred-year-level snake soul bones." Lin Jing introduced concisely.

This soul bone was the first soul bone that Lin Jing dug up outside Notting City.

"It's... This is—" The thin man stared at the soul bone, his eyes flashing with greed.

"Humph!" Lin Jing snorted coldly, but since his body was only twelve years old, this cold snort did not have any deterrent effect.

Smack-

A black token was slapped on the table by Lin Jing.

The thin man looked fixedly, and the greed in his eyes was instantly replaced by panic.

The token is engraved with four different motifs, a sword, a hammer, a dragon, and a crown.

"Fifty thousand gold soul coins." Lin Jing said.

"This...."The thin man was a little flustered.

Lin Jing shook the token in his hand.

"Okay, okay, the price is reasonable." The thin man smiled more ugly than crying.

Lin Jing thought about it and said again.

"40,000 gold soul coins, plus a storage-type soul guide."

....

The entrance of the auction house.

"Ahh

"Now, here's for you." Lin Jing handed a bracelet-shaped item to Lin Yin.

"What is this? Jewelry? Lin Yin's gaze was immediately attracted by the bracelet.

It is a silver-white bracelet with various delicate flower patterns carved on it. In the center of the bracelet, a round sky-blue gemstone shines with a fascinating light.

"Storage Soul Guide." Lin Jing corrected.

"Wow... Thank you..."

"I asked, there's no pink..."

"Hee-hee~"
