When Yan Ling saw Vaun's face right now, he didn't know what to say, because the man in front of him even surpasses a beautiful girl in terms of looks.
Vaun saw Yan Ling that was somewhat thinking of something and said: "Can we go right now?"
Yan Ling was startled for a moment before responding: "Not now."
Vaun was shocked there for a moment while saying: "Why? Are you still going to find something?"
Yan Ling shook his head and looked towards where Vaun and the bear had fought and said: "No, but we need to really check the if forest brown bear is still alive."
"Okay, we should just check if the bear is really dead right?"
"Yes."
Vaun gestured Yan Ling to follow him.
"Then what are we waiting for let's get going already."
Vaun leads the way to the place where they fought and what Yan Ling saw was a wisp of the soul that was slowly fading away in front of them.
Vaun was stunned, rooted at his place and asked with his eyes wide open: "What was that?"
Vaun looked at Yan Ling and saw that fear was written on Yan Ling's face.
He patted his shoulder and ask: "You alright?
Yan Ling, on the other hand, was startled and beads of sweat started to pour down the ground: "I... I'm fine. Thanks for worrying about me, savior."
Vaun nodded his head resolutely as he huffed his chest as if he was proud of himself.
'Ahhh. Being called by a title and shower by respect felt really great.'
"Oh, what was that thing by the way?"
When Vaun asked this question, he saw Yan Ling's squinting his eyes as he heard him say: "Spirit Soul."
"Spirit Soul? What's that?"
"That was the Soul of the Spirit that you had just slain."
"What? You mean that was the soul of the bear that I just have slain? Not even a year has passed and his body was already eaten by the land as a fertilizer?" Vaun looked at Yan Ling with shocked on his face as if he cannot believe what he just heard.
Yan Ling, on the other hand, was choking when he heard Vaun said the body was turned into fertilizer. He wants to laugh but cannot laugh because Vaun might think about him as being a rude person.
"That was the soul of a slain beast and only those guys can do it."
Vaun said: "Is there something wrong about it?"
Yan Ling said: "Yes, and we really need to get out of here, I think they are still nearby." He said with a grave face filled with fear.
"They are still nearby? Who are them anyway?"
"Martial Spirit Summoners."
"Spirit Summoners?" Vaun was suddenly piqued at this name and suddenly remember his one of his most favorite novels. The Invincible.
Yan Ling explained Vaun about the Spirit Summoners and what can they do.
"They can summon spirits below their cultivation level. A martial beginner can summon one and will only increase the total of summoning in cultivation realms."
Vaun was shocked. If he can summon a spirit like that how good will it be? Because he doesn't need to fight too much anymore if he has a spirit that can do the job.
He heard Yan Ling saying: "Martial Spirit Summoners, are martial artists that specialize in the Dao of soul, they will increase in strength if they can find a suitable soul to refine and use for there own cultivation."
"Increase in cultivation?"
"In other words, you need to kill a human being and absorb the soul of the human you killed, that's the only way to become a martial spirit summoner."
Vaun was shocked again, so that's what it was, it looks like the only way to become one is to kill one human being and absorb its soul.
Vaun suddenly stop's the idea of becoming a Martial Spirit Summoner.
Yan Ling said: "I thank you again for saving my life if you didn't come I was most likely to be killed. If the bear that they summon has got me, I was most likely to be a soul only waiting to be absorbed to strengthen others."
"Don't worry about it. Now that we confirm it already, can we get going now?"
"Yes, I will lead the way."
When Vaun and Yan Ling was already far away from the place that they talk, suddenly two figures appear.
The first one was at the same height as Yan Ling and can be considered close to twenty years old, while the other one is taller than Yan Ling.
These two are the Martial Spirit Summoners that Vaun and Yan Ling talk about. The two only watch Vaun and Yan Ling going far away while drooling.
Drooling? Why are they drooling? Looks like they have malicious intent to the two.
Vaun was checking his storage and saw the remaining items. 49 diamond, 2 Mystic, 20 titans, and 10 imperishable fruits.
Vaun was thinking if he should ask the system to search for other fruits that can increase his strength. When Vaun was thinking, Yan Ling suddenly said: "Savior, we need to get going fast. I think our village is being attacked by a beast horde."
"How did you know?"
A red paper slip appears in Yan Ling's hand. Vaun asked: "What's that?"
"A paper slip that will change red color if the village is being attacked or being invaded."
"Ahhhhh, okay I get it, we only to fasten our speed right?"
"Yes, savior."
"Okay let's get going then."
When the two were speeding to get out of the forest, Vaun saw a huge post that can reach the 5th-floor building.
When Vaun was thinking about how huge the post tower was, he suddenly heard a voice beside him: "Savior Vaun, that is the Yang Village that I am talking about. I hope savior Vaun can help Yang Village because of the beast horde that the village is facing a crisis today.
Vaun heard what Yan Ling has said, and Vaun knows that each of the words that Yan Ling said was filled with the utmost respect and begging towards him to save the village, Vaun can only sigh and nod his head.
Vaun only said one thing: "Sure!"
