RNP Chapter 4 An Invitation from Fabia College
Chapter 4 An Invitation from Fabia College
Before setting off for the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Chen found a secluded spot and tested his first soul skill.
This test brought Xiao Chen immense joy.
When both martial souls are released simultaneously, the arrows fired can actually pierce through a three-meter-thick boulder, with power greater than that of a soul skill granted by a typical hundred-year soul ring.
Its attack power is undeniable, but correspondingly, it consumes a great deal of soul power.
Xiao Chen tried to transfer the soul skills from the wooden bow to the wooden arrows, but found it extremely difficult. If he didn't control it properly, he would be backfired by the soul skills.
Xiao Chen tried many times before he finally succeeded once, but he couldn't control the direction in which the arrow was shot, making it impossible to use in actual combat.
However, Xiao Chen was still very happy. This at least proved that the system was not lying to him. Although he couldn't control it well now, he could gradually adapt. As his soul power continued to increase, Xiao Chen believed that he would definitely master this skill.
Before setting off, Xiao Chen bought fifty arrows at a weapons shop in Soto City and carried them on his back.
Soto City is more than 500 kilometers away from the Star Dou Great Forest. Xiao Chen did not travel in a hurry and took three days to reach the nearest town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
During these three days, Xiao Chen was not simply traveling. On the way, he had to release his wooden bow martial spirit at all times, then draw the bow fully and repeat the operation.
Then there are the training programs designed by the system: fixed-point target shooting, moving target shooting, environmental adaptation, and rapid fire, etc.
The systematic training method was very effective. In just three days, Xiao Chen's archery skills had improved significantly, and although his soul power had not yet reached level 20, it was very close.
Moreover, his proficiency in using shared soul skills has improved somewhat. Although he still cannot hit the target precisely, he can at least control the direction in which the arrow is shot.
Xiao Chen wasn't in a hurry to enter the Star Dou Great Forest. He planned to raise his soul power to level 20 in the town first, and then attach the three soul rings to it.
When Xiao Chen entered the town, it was already dark, but the town was still very lively.
This town is quite large; apart from lacking city walls, it is comparable to some small cities.
The streets of the small town were bustling with people, most of whom were Soul Masters on their way to explore the Star Dou Great Forest.
Soul beasts are treasures, and even if they don't hunt for soul rings, there are still many soul masters who go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts on a regular basis.
The street was lined with shops of all kinds, and the shop owners all exuded faint soul power fluctuations. You really wouldn't dare to open a shop here if you didn't have some real skills.
Xiao Chen casually found a cheap hotel to stay in.
He is not short of money now.
As long as you complete the training tasks issued by the system, you will automatically receive gold coins. Although the amount is not much, it is more than enough to cover your daily expenses.
However, Xiao Chen was well aware of the principle of not flaunting wealth, and before he had enough ability to protect himself, he naturally had to act with humility and caution.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Xiao Chen collapsed onto the bed. He was really exhausted from the three days of training.
"System, do you think I should join a faction?" Xiao Chen asked. He felt that although he had a system, it would be too dangerous for him to act alone without a backer.
When Xiao Chen entered the town, he saw many people his age.
When others go to the Star Dou Great Forest, they are either accompanied and protected by academy teachers or escorted by family elders.
Even in the worst-case scenario, there are always companions. Young soul masters like Xiao Chen who come here alone are extremely rare.
In response to Xiao Chen's question, the system replied, "Of course! Joining a faction will help you grow. This system suggests you join the Spirit Hall. With your talent, the Spirit Hall will definitely cherish and nurture you!"
Xiao Chen nodded. The Spirit Hall was indeed the best choice, after all, he would be going against Tang San in the future.
However, joining the Spirit Hall also means that some of his secrets will be exposed.
However, Xiao Chen thought again that the Spirit Hall was not some evil organization, so even if some secrets were exposed, it didn't seem to be a big deal.
Moreover, the Spirit Hall is the number one power on the Douluo Continent. If we can get their help in the future, completing the ultimate mission will definitely be much easier.
So Xiao Chen made up his mind that once he returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, he would go directly to Wuhun City.
Xiao Chen wasn't worried at all about the Spirit Hall rejecting him. He now possessed twin spirits, so joining the Spirit Hall would be a piece of cake.
"I wonder what Bibi Dong's expression will be when she sees that the first two spirit rings of my two great martial souls are both white?" Xiao Chen wondered to himself.
Afterwards, Xiao Chen took a bath and changed his clothes. He meditated quietly in his room for an hour, and after adjusting his breathing, he went to bed to rest.
The next morning, Xiao Chen was awakened by the noisy fighting outside before he even got out of bed.
When Xiao Chen went outside to take a look, he found that two groups of young soul masters had gotten into a conflict.
"Judging from their attire, they seem to be from two different academies!" Xiao Chen muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the group on his left.
To be precise, I was drawn to the college emblem on their left shoulder.
"Canghui Academy, the students here really love to fight!" Xiao Chen thought to himself.
He remembered that the Shrek Seven Devils had clashed with Canghui Academy, and the Canghui Academy's teacher in charge had been badly beaten by Zhao Wuji.
The academy that clashed with Canghui Academy was also located within the Kingdom of Barak—Fabia Academy.
Their soul power was basically around level 20. Obviously, the two groups of people that Xiao Chen encountered were not the top tier of the two academies.
The overall strength of this group of students from Canghui Academy is slightly better than that of the students from Fabia Academy, and there are also one more students from Fabia Academy.
In a one-on-one situation, it was difficult to determine a winner, but as the students from both sides attacked together, Fabia Academy fell into a disadvantageous position.
Seeing that the students from Favya College were about to suffer a loss, their teacher, who was leading the group, moved quickly and stopped the fight.
The teachers from Canghui Academy also came out. Clearly, the two teachers knew each other. They chatted for a few minutes and then let their respective students disperse.
Seeing that there was no more fun to be had, Xiao Chen prepared to go back and get something to eat. However, just as he turned around and walked to the hotel entrance, he felt a palm strike coming from behind him and heard two words: "Get out of the way."
Xiao Chen slightly turned his body and dodged it.
The student from Canghui Academy who had tried to push Xiao Chen away glanced at Xiao Chen indifferently. Seeing that Xiao Chen did not make any move, he walked past Xiao Chen into the hotel.
"Damn it, if you're weak, you'll get bullied wherever you go!" Xiao Chen cursed inwardly, but his face remained expressionless. The other team had a teacher with them, and he didn't want to make things difficult for himself.
However, the female teacher leading the group from Fabia Academy walked up to Xiao Chen after seeing the Canghui Academy members enter and asked, "Young man, are you also going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Chen said.
"Alone?" she then asked.
Xiao Chen was unsure of her purpose, but the system could detect that the person in front of him showed no hostility towards him, so Xiao Chen nodded.
Seeing Xiao Chen nod, the female teacher's face lit up with joy, and she immediately said, "We're also going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, young brother, would you like to come along?" She directly invited Xiao Chen.
