Chapter 16: Three Years Later
Three years later.
In the mountains behind Notting Academy, a dark-haired teenager meditated quietly.
Buzz –
Suddenly, a wave of soul power fluctuated out of the young man's body, and the young man immediately opened his bright black eyes.
"Level 10, three years, finally reached level 10!"
Su Mo, who opened his eyes, looked a little excited.
After three years of hard work, Su Mo has finally improved from the original level 2 soul power to the current level 10 soul power.
Thinking of how he had come over in the past three years, Su Mo sighed for a while.
Don't look at the fact that he has improved his soul power by level 8 in three years, and he is even about to catch up with Tang San and Xiao Wu's improvement speed, but the hardships in it are only known to Su Mo himself.
Su Mo was almost either cultivating or on the way to cultivation.
In three years, he has improved by 8 levels, and Su Mo has not improved so quickly every year, but has gradually improved.
Because the new cultivation technique created by Su Mo is becoming more and more mature, coupled with Su Mo's daily exercise, the improvement of his physical fitness has also strengthened Su Mo's new cultivation technique.
In the past three years, Su Mo rarely even went to the classroom.
Su Mo taught himself through the library!
Spending an hour every day in the library to learn knowledge is considered relaxation time for Su Mo.
Thinking that it took him several times as long to barely catch up with the improvement speed of a genius like Tang San Xiaowu, Su Mo also felt sad in his heart.
This is also the new cultivation technique he has created himself, and other students with ordinary talents like him can't chase after him if they want to.
And what Su Mo caught up with was only Tang San's improvement speed.
Three years had passed, and Su Mo had only broken through level 10, but Tang San had already become a level 21 Great Soul Master.
Su Mo and Tang San's levels were not only not brought closer, but were pulled apart.
However, after so many years, Su Mo has long been accustomed to the inequality brought by this different talents, but he is sad and does not complain.
Because Su Mo believes that man will win the sky.
Since he was able to create a new cultivation technique on his own, he would definitely be able to catch up in the future.
"Tomorrow, it's time for me to hunt my first soul ring!"
Su Mo smiled, and then returned to the academy to get ready for a good night's sleep.
……
The next day, Su Mo did not go directly to the nearest Soul Hunting Forest in Notting City, and first came to the blacksmith shop in the city.
"Boss, are all the things I ordered?"
After Su Mo entered the blacksmith shop, he asked the boss who was forging inside.
"It's you, what you have set is ready, I'll take it for you!"
The boss looked up and saw that it was Su Mo, and immediately laughed happily.
A few days ago, Su Mo ordered something here for him, and he was afraid that Su Mo would not come, but now that he saw Su Mo, he was finally relieved.
Then, the boss took out a bag of things and put them in front of Su Mo: "This is something customized according to your requirements, you open it and take a look!" ”
Su Mo opened it and checked it, and found that the boss had created all the things he wanted, and nodded with satisfaction.
"And my weapons?"
Su Mo continued.
"It's already been built!"
"Here's the bow and gun you want!"
Hearing Su Mo's words, the boss hurriedly took out two things under the counter.
They are a bow and a spear.
The bow was forged according to Su Mo's requirements, and it was a composite bow with pulleys installed at both ends, which looked very different from the traditional bow, and it looked weird!
The gun is based on Su Mo's soul hunting gun, and it can be said to be exactly the same as Su Mo's martial soul soul hunting gun.
After Su Mo fiddled with his hands, he was very satisfied.
So Su Mo finished paying the mantissa number, and the boss also happily gave Su Mo a tube of arrows.
Then he rented a carriage with his things, and then set off for the Soul Hunting Forest, which was four hundred miles away.
As for the Martial Spirit Hall certificate that needs to be issued to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, Su Mo has already gone to handle it.
Hunting soul rings, that's how troublesome it is.
Especially hunting low-level soul beasts, because the low-level soul beast forests are all kept in captivity by the Wuhun Palace, which is relatively safe, and there will be no too high-level soul beasts in them.
Of course, the soul master can also go to those wild soul beast forests by himself, and the safety cannot be guaranteed.
Su Mo is only level 10, and he doesn't even have a soul skill yet, so of course he doesn't dare to go to the wild soul beast forest.
Su Mo, a soul beast that has been ten years and a hundred years old, is not afraid, but when he encounters a soul beast that has cultivated for more than a thousand years, Su Mo does not dare to guarantee his safety.
Yes, Su Mo, a soul beast that has been cultivated for a hundred years, is not afraid.
Because Su Mo came for a hundred-year-old quality soul beast this time.
For this reason, Su Mo is also fully prepared.
All kinds of soul beast knowledge below the thousand-year cultivation, Su Mo has mastered everything he can master, so that he can make targeted shots.
The pulley compound bow and spear were also one of Su Mo's preparations.
Use a bow at a distance and a gun at close range!
It stands to reason that Su Mo's own martial soul is already a spear, so there is no need to forge another one by himself.
But Su Mo didn't think so, because at present, his Martial Soul Hunting Gun was not as strong as it was built in reality.
When he watched anime in his previous life, Su Mo didn't understand why an agile soul master with a speed advantage like the Min family didn't know how to take a weapon and convert the speed advantage into attack power.
In that case, even if you are just holding a knife, as long as you are fast enough, it will have terrifying lethality.
Now that Su Mo has been reborn in the Douluo Continent for so many years, he finally understands.
This is because soul masters who have soul power and can use martial souls are extremely disdainful of using weapons.
Almost all soul masters believe that weapons are only used by ordinary people and soldiers who cannot summon martial spirits.
That is, the hidden weapon that Tang San took out later, let them see the weapon that was different from ordinary weapons, and felt that it was not used by ordinary people, it was relatively tall, and this was the first thing they began to pay attention to.
Su Mo disagrees with this, the reason why people are stronger than beasts is that they have learned to use tools, and when the lethality of martial souls is not enough in the early stage, there is no shame in using weapons.
Except for the prohibition of the use of all foreign objects in the Soul Master Competition, it is not forbidden at any other time, so why not use it?
Yu Xiaogang is quite wise in this regard.
The first soul beast Mandala Snake that Tang San hunted was stabbed to death with the short sword that Yu Xiaogang gave him.
Yu Xiaogang, as a level 29 Great Soul Master, has no way to deal with that mandala snake with soul skills, and kills it with a short sword, which shows that the weapons used by people in this world are not weak.
At least it's very helpful for weak soul masters.
"With this bow and spear, I don't believe that I can't hunt a soul beast that has been cultivated for a hundred years!"
Looking at the bow and gun he had prepared, Su Mo was full of confidence.
Of course, self-confidence does not mean that Su Mo will be reckless, after rushing to the Soul Hunting Forest, Su Mo will definitely find a weaker soul beast to practice first.
