Capítulo 9: Ch 9: Twin Mountain Forest

On the light rail to the east of the city, Emrys took out the 'Low-level Soul Beast Illustrated Book' and looked at it. He also carefully marked some 'key' skills of many Soul Beasts.

Emrys's goal for his trip to the forest was to hunt Soul Beasts so that he could explore the new skill he had obtained from the Multicolored Orb. He was eager to try out the Soul Force Extraction ability and confirm whether his guess was correct - whether he could obtain a large amount of Soul Force by killing Soul Beasts or not.

Moreover, after their death, Soul Beasts produce Soul Orbs corresponding to the strength of their soul. These Soul Orbs contain violent Soul Force and cannot be directly used. If a Soul Master wants to use these Soul Orbs, they have to first process and refine the Soul Orbs which is not an ordinary task to do.

That is why, the production of Soul Orbs, which can be used by people for their awakening of Soul Marks or further strengthening the Soul Marks with every stage of cultivation, are left in the Federation's hands. Normally obtained Soul Orbs can be exchanged for credits.

The reason why Emrys wanted to go for the hunt in the forest is not only to verify the ability called 'Soul Force Extraction', it was also to obtain Soul Orbs.

As his strength increases, he'll have to spend a large amount of credits on his cultivation. His family was poor. They cannot provide him with much credits. In the end, he has to rely on himself.

Emrys was aware that despite awakening the mythical-level White Soul Mark, he was almost a year behind his classmates and peers who entered school at the same time as him.

In terms of cultivation, his recent breakthrough to the Eighth Order of Soul Apprentice meant he could barely keep up with some of them.

However, a Soul Master's strength is not solely determined by their Soul Force. While important, it is just the cornerstone. Equally crucial are the skills and experiences.

This is also why the upcoming Joint School Trial, starting next month, can only be participated in by students who have successfully awakened their Soul Marks and those who have officially become Soul Masters.

Students who have not awakened their Soul Marks not only cannot increase their Soul Force and advance to the next stage of their soul cultivation realm, but they also lack skills and experiences. Consequently, they face significant challenges in battling Soul Beasts, making their participation in the trial meaningless.

Therefore, Emrys urgently needed to obtain experiences to supplement his combat power. After all, he doesn't have enough money to buy a Soul Skill from the Federation. Not to mention, only Soul Masters can use Soul Skills.

Emrys was just a Soul Apprentice. With his current strength, his performance can only be average in the Joint School Trial.

So while he still has time, taking this opportunity to come out and experience actual combat was not a bad idea. This way, his combat ability will also increase which will benefit him greatly and boost his strength.

Compared to other Soul Apprentices, the Origin Skill of Emrys's Soul Mark is Node Shift, which is undoubtedly a very comprehensive skill. It can save his life at crucial moments.

It was unfortunate that he could only use Node Shift three times a day due to his limited amount of Soul Force. However, the silver lining was that the number of uses would increase as his strength and cultivation improved.

More than two hours later, Emrys arrived in front of the Twin Mountain Forest on the eastern outskirts of Midnight City.

At this time, the black backpack on Emrys was completely bulging. It contained a large amount of compressed food and water, as well as some basic medicines, enough for more than ten days of use.

"Twin Mountain Forest, huh!"

Looking at the two joint mountains in front of him with dense vegetation and faintly exuding a slightly dangerous aura, Emrys tightened his hand and muttered.

The Twin Mountain Forest was a 'low-level danger zone' bordering five third-level cities of Midnight City and a second-level city. There are more than two hundred different kinds of Soul Beasts inside this forest. It is said that the strongest of them are Silver Soul Beasts.

Danger zone refers to areas where Soul Beasts are infested or where some unnatural and unidentified phenomenon and dangers exist. There are many such danger zones in the Great Flame Kingdom, and the number of them is uncountable in the entire Infinite Soul Star.

As far as Emrys knew, some of his classmates sometimes teamed up to come to the Twin Mountain Forest.

Emrys put down the backpack and slowly opened it, taking out a long knife called E-3 Alloy Knife.

For Soul Masters, especially Soul Apprentices, the weapons at hand are quite important.

White Soul Skills such as Ice Spikes and Small Fireballs may not be more damaging than directly using a weapon.

All students in the Soul Apprentice Class must choose a weapon for battle purposes, whether it is knives, guns, fists, or something else.

Emrys chose a long knife, a weapon that is flexible, fast, and quite sharp.

At this time, the E-3 Alloy Knife in Emrys's hand was purchased at a preferential price for education in order to practice knife skills. This weapon's original price was more than 20,000 Credits.

Closing the zip and putting the bag on his back again, Emrys held the long knife. He then took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into the Twin Mountain Forest.

After traveling a few kilometers, he officially entered the periphery of the Twin Mountain Forest. It is unknown whether Emrys was lucky or unlucky, but not long after entering the forest, he encountered a Soul Beast.

Under a giant tree in front of him, two large yellow-haired hounds with a body length of one meter were playing. These two large yellow-haired hounds have terrifying fangs and sharp teeth. In addition, unlike ordinary hounds, their ears were particularly wide.

"Steel-toothed Hound?"

Emrys silently muttered in his heart. The information of these two Soul Beasts immediately flashed in Emrys's mind. This information was recorded in the 'Low-level Soul Beast Illustrated Book' that he was constantly reading previously. He had already memorized a lot of Soul Beasts' information from this book. The information about the Steel-toothed Hound is just one of them.

The Steel-toothed Hounds in front of him were Seventh Order Ordinary Soul Beasts. They generally produce White (Ordinary) Soul Orbs. They don't have any attributes, they only have one talent called Hearing Enhancement. Other than that, they are born with only one skill. That skill is called 'Steel Teeth Bite'.
