Ten kilometers away from Maple Leaf City, there is a soul beast forest.

If nothing else, Su Luoheng's first soul ring this time will be hunted here.

During the Wuhun Hall 10,000 years ago, in order to facilitate low-level soul masters to hunt soul beasts, they had cooperated with the empire to plan a lot of soul hunting jungles on the mainland, and there were many powerful soul beasts at the 10,000-year-level level.

This maple forest is one of them.

With the overthrow of the Wuhun Palace, the Soul Hunting Forest was directly under the state.

However, the empire did not have so many soul masters to maintain, and the number of soul beasts in the soul hunting forest that was negligent soon decreased sharply.

Today, it is basically abandoned.

Now don't talk about 10,000-year soul beasts in it, even thousand-year soul beasts are rare.

However, this has little impact on Su Luoheng, who only needs the first soul ring in a hundred years, and because the comprehensive strength of this forest soul beast is not high, in addition to hunting the soul ring, he thinks that this is also the assessment of his training this year.

If there is no accident, after entering the forest, everything depends on Su Luoheng himself.

Unless he encountered a soul beast that he couldn't solve, Su Junran would not help.

……

……

Two days later, the Maple Leaf Forest.

The jungle in front of you is lush, the trees are leafy, the shade is thick, dense and dark, and the sun can't penetrate, so the whole world looks dark and damp, giving people a feeling of oppression.

A fresh breeze blew by, rustling through the woods.

"Luo Heng, have you remembered everything you explained on the road?"

"Hmm."

After the last two sentences, Su Junran's figure disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this, a hint of envy flashed in Xiao Luoheng's eyes, and he didn't know when he could be like his father.

However, he soon reined in his emotions, and the light of his fingertips flickered, and the next moment, a short sword-type melee soul guide with a pale red body and a blade length of about half a meter was already in his hand.

Of course, to deal with soul beasts, you must have a weapon at hand.

The use of weapons in this training is also an investigation.

This second-level soul guide is often used in training, and like Su Luoheng, this is also its first actual combat.

It's more than enough to deal with a hundred-year-old soul beast.

"Hoo ......"

Su Luoheng grasped the short sword and slowly stepped into the dense jungle.

The dense soul beast forest, although it looks calm on the outside, but the keen perception can detect the dangerous aura behind it, this forest is far from being as peaceful as imagined.

As we go deeper, the air gets fresher and fresher.

After all, it was the first time to enter the Soul Beast Forest, and after a short period of tension, Su Luoheng's mood turned excited.

After a year of systematic training and waiting.

Now it's finally time to test the results of training and hunt for soul rings.

Thinking of this, Su Luoheng only felt his blood boiling, and his eyes could not hide the heat and anticipation.

In a state of excitement, he couldn't help but start to speed up his pace and clench the short sword in his hand, and couldn't wait to fight with the soul beast to hunt the first soul ring and become a real soul master.

Soon Su Luoheng finally saw the first soul beast: a bellbird that had been cultivated for about thirty years.

But before Xiao Luoheng, who was eager to try, made a move, the alert bellbird had already flown away into the distance.

The first initiative was thus declared a failure.

However, the most important thing in the soul beast forest is soul beasts.

Accumulating the lessons of the bellbird's failure, he began to pay attention to reining in his breath.

Soon, Su Luoheng also saw other soul beasts.

However, the cultivation of the soul beasts on the periphery is too weak, and basically solving it with a sword will not have the effect of testing the strength at all.

As you go deeper into the forest, the forest becomes more and more secluded.

It was so quiet that there was hardly any sound to be heard, not even the chirping of insects and birds.

Su Luoheng's expression became more and more solemn, and being quiet in the forest represented a crisis.

If there is any sound, it must be a powerful soul beast.

Although Su Luoheng sought a suitable opponent, he still had to ensure his own safety before identifying the soul beast.

Suddenly he stopped.

Squinted his eyes and saw that soul beast a hundred meters ahead!

The leopard, which was well-proportioned, about a meter long, and had a light purple halo all over its body, was foraging for food, and it also found him at the same time that Su Luoheng found him, and a trace of bloodthirsty murder flashed in the dark purple beast pupils.

"Shadow Leopard."

Su Luoheng is not an ignorant teenager who has just awakened his martial spirit.

In the past year, he has learned a lot from his old father, the most important of which is about the identification of soul beasts.

The Shadow Leopard is extremely fast, and it is a difficult type of soul beast in the soul beast forest after all.

Its cultivation is calculated according to the length of the body and the depth of the shadow pattern, the shadow leopard in front of Su Luoheng has a body length of one meter, and there is only a faint purple halo on its body, and its cultivation should be about sixty years.

It is just right as one's opponent.

Su Luoheng clenched the short sword in his hand, and his eyes were extremely hot.

He's got this leopard to kill!

The Shadow Leopard took him as a prey, so why didn't he use it as a whetstone?

Su Luoheng did not rush forward to fight, but stood in place and waited.

Although the Shadow Leopard's attack is not high, it is very fast, and if you want to kill it, you must find the right time, and a blind attack will only waste your physical strength and fall into its rhythm.

"Whew!"

After all, the Shadow Leopard is less than a hundred years old.

Seeing that the human beings on the opposite side did not come forward to attack for a long time, it was difficult to suppress the bloodthirsty beast nature.

The Shadow Leopard let out a low roar and grabbed the ground on all fours, turning into a purple light and shadow, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced in front of Su Luoheng.

Su Luoheng reacted quickly.

The muscles of his body tensed, and he held the hilt of his sword in both hands to block the Shadow Leopard's claws in front of him, but the powerful impact he carried made him take a few steps back to stabilize his body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Shadow Leopard pounced again.

This time, its speed suddenly increased, and its soul power attached to the dark leopard's claws, and the cold light burst straight towards Su Luoheng's face.

Although he knew the ability of the Shadow Leopard, his actual speed still surprised him.

However, Su Luoheng's movements were faster.

The change of footstep easily dodged the Shadow Leopard's sharp claws, and at the same time, a side kick from the bent knee flicked into the Shadow Leopard's abdomen, and its own powerful impact caused it to crash into the trunk with a 'bang'.

"Whew-"

The painful shadow leopard roared frantically.

But before it could attack again, Su Luoheng on the side was already ready to attack.

With the infusion of soul power, the light of the dark red sword body soared, and the blade of the sword was aimed at the target from top to bottom, swinging a crescent-shaped light blade.

With a muffled bang, the roar stopped abruptly. The soul power attached to the attached light blade exploded, and the corpse of the shadow leopard turned into a canopy of blood and rained down with flesh and blood.

A white soul ring rose above the minced flesh.

The light on the short sword slowly converged, and Su Luoheng's first official battle ended successfully.

Although the strength of the Shadow Leopard is not strong, Su Luoheng has benefited a lot from this battle, and he is deeply aware of the difference between training and actual combat, and how to give full play to his own strength.

A lot of soul power was wasted in the previous battle process.

If he is allowed to do it again, the soul power consumed can be reduced by at least one percent.
