In the streets and alleys, Ding Xiaohu covered his swollen cheeks and came to a blue-haired teenager.

The blue-haired boy asked urgently, "How about it, do you want that wild boy to have a longer memory?" ”

Ding Xiaohu lowered his head in shame and replied, "We can't beat him." ”

"The seven of you can't beat a soul refiner of the same level?"

Ding Xiaohu was helpless: "He's so powerful!" ”

The blue-haired boy raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did he use the Horcrux?" ”

In Canterlot, it is strictly forbidden to use Horcruxes privately, and even minors who do so will be imprisoned.

Ding Xiaohu looked embarrassed and replied, "He didn't use the Horcrux...... We all used it. ”

"......" the blue-haired young man's face was ugly, and he scolded, "A bunch of waste! ”

Although the mission failed, Ding Xiaohu still said cheekily: "Master Wen, you see that I have done what you said, and help me enter the academy......"

Although he was displeased, the blue-haired boy still didn't break his promise, threw him a letter, and said impatiently: "Go find Andrew, he is a soul master, as long as he is willing to accept you as an apprentice, you are eligible to enter the academy, take this letter of recommendation and get out!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wen!"

Ding Xiaohu picked up the envelope from the ground, and didn't care about the blue-haired boy's verbal insults and contempt for him, and ran away happily like a treasure.

The blue-haired young man looked at the mountain peak to the north, his eyes were fierce, and he said to himself: "A wild boy who doesn't even know who his father is, as long as you don't leave Huo Wu'er for a day, I, Lan Gongwen, will never give up on you!" ”

~

On the streets in the early morning, this scene just now was just a trivial incident that happened in the central city, and it couldn't set off any storms, and when everything calmed down, the vendor reluctantly rearranged his fruit stall, and everything returned to normal.

The mountain peaks to the north were still shrouded in mist, adding a touch of unreachable distance to the boy's journey home.

This is not another continent, nor is it another dimensional space, this is hell, and it is the destination of human souls after death.

In addition to the undead, Hell is more of a native of the area, and they are the same in appearance and form as humans, except that some are born nobles and some are born lowly commoners.

The boy was born into a civilian family, or more precisely, he was adopted by a civilian family.

When the boy's parents found him, his parents were actually only eighteen years old, and in order to adopt the child, they quickly married and raised the child.

When the child was six years old, for some reason, his parents were forced to leave him and go to the next level of hell, leaving only his elderly grandfather to take care of him.

And the power used in the fight between the boy and Ding Xiaohu just now is called 'soul power'.

Soul power is the only criterion used to distinguish whether a hellish creature is strong or not!

In the body of the soul, there is a central mechanism that controls and absorbs soul power, which is called the 'soul house'.

In the Soul Mansion, there are seven layers of 'Star Platforms' stacked up and down like pyramids, and there are nine 'Soul Stars' suspended above each layer of Star Platforms.

After the soul power reaches a certain level, it can light up the corresponding soul star, and when the nine soul stars are lit up, it can connect the nine stars and break through to the next star platform.

People who cultivate soul power are called 'soul refiners', and soul refiners are divided into seven major levels according to the number of layers that break through the star platform, and each level corresponds to a different title:

One-Star Terrace Soul Refiner - 'Soul Warrior';

Two-Star Platform Soul Refiner - 'Soul Master';

Sanxingtai Soul Refiner - 'Soul Sect';

Four-Star Platform Soul Refiner - 'Soul Venerable';

Five-Star Terrace Soul Refiner - 'Soul King';

Six-Star Terrace Soul Refiner - 'Soul Saint';

Seven Star Terrace Soul Refiner - 'Soul Emperor'.

The soul refiners of the same star platform are divided into nine sub-levels according to the number of soul stars lit up on the star platform, with the weakest star and the strongest nine stars.

The previous boy can be called a nine-star soul warrior.

In addition, the hierarchy of Canterlot society is also very strict, in addition to the commoners, the nobility is divided into seven statuses, from the lowest to the highest:

Knight – Quasi-Baron – Baron – Viscount – Count – Marquis – Duke.

In order to obtain the status of a nobleman, in addition to the recognition of the Holy See, you must also reach the corresponding level of soul power, for example, if you want to become a knight, you must be a soul warrior, and if you want to become a duke, you must be a soul emperor.

The young man's name is Wu Ling, and the mountain where Wu Ling lives is called 'Zihuai Mountain', and the reason why it is called Zihuai Mountain is because the mountain is covered with a purple locust tree, and the flowers and leaves do not fall all year round, and the flowers are purple.

At the same time, the purple locust tree is also a common tree in hell, its trunk is hard, ordinary swords are difficult to cut, only horcruxes can be cut down, and it is often used by soul refiners to test soul power.

Walking up the winding path, through the mist and woods, Wu Ling returned to his residence, a wooden house made of purple locust trees, perched halfway up the mountainside, and once the fog cleared, he could overlook the whole of Canterlot.

Surrounded by a forest of purple locusts, almost every purple locust has carved a dense sword mark.

The only one that is intact is the 10,000-year-old locust tree, its vigorous branches stretching out in all directions, like a giant flash on the cliff halfway up the mountainside.

There is an old man sitting under the purple locust forest, there is a stone table in front of him, there is a chess game on the stone table, this is a chess game exclusive to their grandfather and grandson, black and white chess, each falling one piece every day, Wu Ling took a black chess step when he went out to buy vegetables early, and when he came back, his grandfather played white chess.

Today, the old man was calm, holding the white child in his hand, calm and relaxed, and only after Wu Ling sat down opposite him did he slowly open his eyes.

"Smack~"

The white flag fell, and the shaking chessboard made a crisp sound, and Wu Ling's heart trembled even more.

He knew, it was over, he lost.

White has already blocked all the ways for black to survive, and no matter how much he plays, it will not help.

The old man's chess skills are better than him, and Wu Ling himself knows that he has always been at a disadvantage in this game.

Losing is a certainty.

All he could do was to keep struggling, trying in vain to perfect his chess skills for a long time every day, and finally find a way to defeat the old man.

However, there will always be bottlenecks in some things, and no matter how hard he tries, he will never get the results he wants.

"Don't be discouraged, there is a dead chess game, there is no dead end in life, as long as you don't give up, you can always find a way out!"

The old man comforted him and walked into the wooden house with the ingredients he had bought.

Wu Ling was in a daze at the chessboard, the chess pieces in his hand were about to be shattered by his pinching, and he suddenly ripped off the gray headband on the top of his head, revealing the word 'soul' on his forehead.

"Howl~"

The soul power gathered, the white light shone, the magic circle took shape, and a dragon groan came from inside, and then a long sword with an imposing rainbow flew out of the magic circle, and the sword body was filled with dense soul power that flowed like a liquid, and engraved a lifelike white dragon.

This is Wu Ling's Horcrux - the Dragon Yin Sword!

Wu Ling held the hilt of the sword, and the whole person suddenly changed his momentum, he became manic and violent, and stabbed the surrounding purple locust trees with the sword frantically, shouting while stabbing at the edge:

"Why should I be a civilian!

Why do the Holy See and the nobility have a monopoly on all the soul stones!

Why did I have to be trapped at the peak of my first-level soul power for seven years in vain, even though I had excellent talent? Seven years!

Why is God so unfair! ”

"Bang Bang Bang Bang~"

The continuous and rapid slashing caused him to trigger critical attacks again and again, causing the air around him to burst continuously, shaking down the locust flowers all over the ground.
