Chapter 22: CHAPTER 22 MEETING
Soul-Beast Forest,
After coming to the entrance and showing the entry pass to the guard Huang Yong and Xiao Feng entered the forest.
"Boss what type of soul beast is suitable for me."
"The best combination for an assassin-type soul master is an agility-type dark attribute soul beast or a poison or dark attribute soul beast."
"For your first soul ring an agility-type soul beast will be the best choice."
"Don't get too excited as it may take days to find your soul beast."
2 days later,
Inside of the soul beast.
"You have got some luck, this is a 400-year-old demonic wolf, best suited for your first soul ring."
"Kill it and absorb using the technique I have taught you."
"Yes boss"
Xiao Feng sat cross-legged before the corpse of the demonic wolf and started absorbing the soul ring.
"No matter how hard it gets don't stop the absorption of soul ring."
'Xiao Feng is really lucky in just two days we got the best soul beast for him.'
Huang Yong also sat on a rock near the place where Xiao Feng was absorbing the soul ring and started a fire.
He would have dared not to start a fire if it was before but now he was completely sure to kill any soul beast if it came here after being attracted by the fire.
After 14 hours,
Xiao Feng finished absorbing his first soul ring.
"Boss thank you I'll always remember this grace of yours."
"You have thanked me enough, tell me what is your soul skill."
"Boss my first soul skill increases my speed by 100% and hides my breath for 5 seconds."
"What a full 100%, although the time is less but a 100% increase in speed during a battle even for 1 second can decide death and life."
The skill Xiao Feng got surprised, Huang Yong.
"Xiao Feng attack me with your first soul skill."
"Ok, boss."
[FIRST SOUL SKILL - STRAIGHT THRUST]
The only yellow soul ring around Xiao Feng flashed and he attacked Huang Yong with full strength.
"Speed increases by 100% and there is about a 10% increase in strength as well, a good soul skill."
Huang Yong caught the attack with his hand and commented.
"Boss my soul power has also increased, now it's 14 levels."
"You reached level 10 long ago and the soul power in your body got stored and increased your level after you absorbed a soul ring."
"So if I wait for 2 or 3 years after reaching level 20 to get a soul ring then I will again increase my soul power by 3 levels, yes I must wait."
"I knew you were a fool but I was wrong, you are not a fool you lack a brain."
"But boss don't you say that the soul power gets accumulated in the body even if I don't absorb a soul ring."
"It does get accumulated but if you get a soul ring and cultivate for 2 years you will be able to increase your soul power by 3 or 4 easily."
"Yes if I had git a soul ring 2 years ago when I first reached level 10 I should have reached level 14 or even 15 by now, I am a fool to think that way."
"Boss what will I do without you."
"Enough, pack the things we need to leave."
********************************************
Two months later,
Haina City, Huang Yong's residence
"Boss, Axe master Yao Tian is here to see you."
Xiao Feng shouted from outside.
"Yao Tian you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten about me and went on the mission yourself."
"How can I? Black Fist it took me some time, trying to convince my friend and now the gold mission is in hand."
"Where is that friend of yours?"
Huang Yong asked while looking behind Yao Tian.
"He is at the mercenary's building. I came to invite you as so not to waste time."
"Ok, Xiao Feng I will be out for some time, don't slack on your cultivation."
"I will not disappoint you, boss."
Said Xiao Feng with a bright face
Only he knew how terrifying the last two months had been, he was beaten close to death every day and thrown in a medicinal bath, now, finally, he can have some rest.
"Let's go Yao Tian, go and meet this friend of yours and take on this Gold mission."
*********************************************
Haima City Mercenary Building,
Huang Yong came to this building under the leadership of Yao Tian.
In the lobby, a man in his 40s, with a white strand of hair can be seen.
Coming to the man Yao Tian said,
"Black Fist, This is the friend I was talking about, Long Pei long 'Ihe Ice Bow'."
The man looked at Huang Yong for a moment so did Huang Yong as if estimating each other's strength.
"It's just a fake name given by some friends, it is nice to meet you Black Fist, Yao Tian said a lot about you and your strength."
Long Pei greeted
"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Ice Bow."
Long Pei Was a 37-level soul venerable with the martial soul, Ice Bow a rare long-range attack type soul master.
"Brother Long have you taken the gold mission if we don't others will."
"Don't worry, nothing can escape from me."
Long Pei said while showing a gold envelope to Yao Tian."
Seeing the envelope Yao Tian's face brightened, and he asked with an excited look,
"What is the mission? Is it difficult?."
"It is an escort mission, should not be that difficult."
"They are willing to pay 700 Gold soul coins."
"Can escort missions also be classified as gold-rank missions."
Huang Yong asked with some doubt.
"Any mission can be placed in the gold category as long as the recruiter is willing to pay."
"It makes me wonder who is the person we are escorting."
Huang Yong asked with a curious look.
"Our job is to take care of the safety of our employer we don't have to be concerned about what is happening, It is against mercenary building laws if you try to know too much about the personal life of the employer."
"Will keep that in mind."
"Xiao Tian don't think too much about your soul ring, after the mission I'll help you hunt your soul beast."
Long Pei said to Yao Tian as so not to worry about his third soul ring.
"I can help, I have good knowledge about soul beasts."
Huang Yong added
"Thank you both, I no longer have to think about my soul ring."
"Brother Long when are we leaving for the mission."
"Right now."
