CHAPTER XXIII
By the time the two of them finally cleaned up, it was almost noon, and in half an hour, it was estimated that it would be time for the students to get out of class.
Shen Yuan took out the apprenticeship ceremony prepared for the master in advance from the cabinet,
That is, some tea leaves picked from the Xingcao Forest in some villages, which have a soothing effect.
took Xiao Wu's hand and walked all the way to the top floor of the dormitory.
It didn't take long for Shen Yuan to come to a small room according to Director Su's instructions.
Taking a deep breath to calm his slightly nervous mood, he knocked softly on the door.
"Knock knock~"
"Excuse me, is this the master's room?"
Shen Yuan's crisp voice echoed outside the house, and it didn't take long to hear a slightly hoarse voice from inside: "Who." ”
"I'm a student who just entered the Soul Master Academy today, and my name is Shen Yuan. Because I heard that there was a teacher in the academy who knew a lot about martial spirits, I came to visit. Shen Yuan stood outside and said calmly.
The voice inside was silent for a moment before continuing, "Come in." ”
After receiving the master's answer, Shen Yuan immediately pushed open the door and led Xiao Wu in.
Entering the room, the first thing that made Shen Yuan's eyes light up was that there were bookcases full of books around him.
After coming to this world for so many years, Shen Yuan was also the first time he had seen so many books, which made him feel a little excited for a while.
"Did you come to me for something?" A hoarse voice interrupted his thoughts.
Only then did Shen Yuan come back to his senses and turn his head to look at the room.
In the middle of the room was a large desk, full of books, and on the chair opposite the desk sat a middle-aged man, staring at him with incomprehensible eyes.
glanced at the middle-aged man slightly, his expression was stiff, his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were full of energy, and he seemed to have starlight.
When I first saw him, I instantly left a deep impression on Shen Yuan.
And next to that person, there was also a young man in black, who also looked plain, but looked very energetic through those eyes.
This should be the master and Tang San.
Suddenly, Tang San seemed to notice Shen Yuan's sweeping eyes, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he nodded his head at Shen Yuan with kindness in his eyes.
Shen Yuan, who saw Tang San's movements, was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled back.
Then he moved his gaze back to the master, and said respectfully: "Hello master, I am Shen Yuan, this is the sister Xiao Wu. I came here this time because I heard that the master has a deep study of martial souls, and the martial souls on my body are a bit peculiar, so I specially wanted to come over and ask the master to see if he can give some advice. ”
As he spoke, he also took out a bag of tea leaves from his arms and solemnly handed them over with both hands: "This is some coarse tea specialties in my mountain village, although it is not a generous gift, but it also has the effect of calming the mind." ”
Looking at Shen Yuan's series of movements, both the master and Tang San had strange expressions. It seems that seeing other people's attitude of respect for them is a little unaccustomed.
Then, Tang San, who received the master's signal, walked over, and while taking the tea, he lowered his head and whispered in Shen Yuan's ear: "Actually, you don't need to prepare so many things, the teacher is very interested in all kinds of special martial souls, in fact, the peculiar martial souls you said alone are enough." ”
As he spoke, he shook the tea leaves in his hand lightly, and said with a chuckle: "However, this time the teacher accepted it, and the reason will be known later." ”
"Ahem~"
Before Shen Yuan could react from the deep meaning of Tang San's words, the master coughed lightly and pulled his attention back.
"Let me see what kind of strange martial soul you are talking about."
Shen Yuan nodded and glanced at Xiao Wu, motioned for her to close the door, and then raised his right hand and shouted, "Martial Soul: Talisman of Contract!" ”
The master and Tang San on the side immediately saw a dense rune light up on the back of Shen Yuan's hand, and then a yellow soul ring rose from under Shen Yuan's feet.
"Centennial Soul Ring!" The master and Tang San exclaimed at the same time when they saw the soul ring.
Moreover, the master looked deeper, judging by the color of the soul ring, it should be a soul ring of more than four hundred years, which is already the limit of the first soul ring.
Shen Yuan raised the martial soul in his hand, turned his back to the master and showed it, and said, "This is my martial soul, the talisman of the contract. ”
The master got up and left the table, leaned over to Shen Yuan to take a closer look, and asked, "What is the effect of your martial soul?" ”
immediately reacted and explained: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to force it, just because a martial soul like you doesn't appear outside, it's already rare to see it on your body." ”
Shen Yuan shook his head, lifted the martial soul on his hand and said, "This is just the surface!" Most especially its effects. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the soul ring around his body and asked, "Master, do you know where my soul ring came from?" ”
Looking at the puzzled eyes of Master Eye and Tang San on the side, Shen Yuan replied directly, "I got the soul ring without killing any soul beasts. ”
"It can't be!" The master immediately opened his mouth and said in denial.
This is the answer that people in this world will subconsciously come to when they encounter this question.
Because, the soul ring must be obtained from the dead soul beast, which is the truth that this world has not changed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years since the birth of the profession of soul master.
On the contrary, Tang San on the other side had not been in contact with the martial soul for long. Although he was also surprised, he was not as unbelievable as the master.
"Master, I'm not lying. The effect of my Martial Soul Contract Talisman is that you don't need to kill the soul beast when you level up, you only need to pass the contract soul beast to automatically generate a soul ring. Shen Yuan replied calmly.
The master stared at the contract talisman in Shen Yuan's hand, as if he was staring at something that overturned his worldview.
After a long while, he looked at Shen Yuan and asked, "You mean that you can generate a soul ring as long as you contract a soul beast?" Then I have a question for you......"
Speaking of this, the master paused and looked at Shen Yuan with a serious face: "How is the soul beast that you contracted?!! ”
Shen Yuan indifferently raised the martial soul in his hand and said, "Master, you also guessed it." When the contract is successful, it will become my contract soul beast, and it can directly live in my unique martial soul space. ”
"Hiss~"
Hearing the fact that it was exactly as he had guessed, the master couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Tang San on the side looked at the master's shocked expression and expressed his doubts: "Teacher, is this martial soul very strong?" ”
"Strong, or a little too strong," the master sighed, "Little San, do you know what will happen to the people who fight against him when Shen Yuan grows up?" ”
Ignoring Tang San, who was thinking on the sidelines, the master continued: "That will be Shen Yuan with a group of soul beasts that are not much different from your strength level to besiege you. It might even be the kind of combo with a delicate coordination! ”
Saying this, the master realized something, and asked Shen Yuan with an eager face: "Shen Yuan, after your soul beast and you make a contract, can you communicate without barriers." ”
"Yes, yes. After I make a contract, I can communicate with my contract beast at the consciousness level through my martial soul," Shen Yuan nodded to confirm the master's guess, and at the same time expressed his admiration for the master's keen thinking.
Hearing Shen Yuan's words, the master muttered on the side: "That's right!" The effect of your martial soul is to use your own contract soul beast to attack, and it is impossible to disconnect the soul master and the soul beast. ”
At this moment, Tang San also reacted, looking at Shen Yuan with a surprised face.
If according to what the master said, those who are enemies with Shen Yuan in the future are afraid that they will be equivalent to facing a team with tacit understanding.
