Chapter 25: The Appearance of an Evil Soul Master
Lin Hao walked away, and when he passed by Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan remained motionless.
Dugu Yan was still in a daze.
The Blue-scaled Snake is a top-tier snake. Its venom is extremely potent.
In Dugu Yan's past battles, her opponents either dared not spar with her or were defeated by her poison. There was no third exception.
Dugu Yan is shrewd when she doesn't make a move, but when she does, her opponent will beg for mercy.
Even when facing a Soul Master with four rings, few dare to fight her.
Unexpectedly, the usually effective poison attack was ignored today.
As Lin Hao brushed past her, Dugu Yan, her eyes unfocused, suddenly snapped back to reality, turned around to look at Lin Hao's retreating figure, and asked, "How did you cure my poison?"
Lin Hao stopped and turned around, saying, "Are you going to go back on your word?"
Dugu Yan's green eyes stared at Lin Hao like a venomous snake, her attitude resolute. "Answer me. Why is my poison ineffective against you?"
Lin Hao said, "Telling you won't hurt. My first soul skill can instantly remove any abnormal statuses I have, including poison. In other words, I'm immune to poison!"
"Poison, no!"
Dugu Yan clenched her fists tightly.
The words "drug immunity" touched her heart.
She took pride in practicing poison techniques.
Everything fears poison.
She believed that she was invincible because of this.
To her utter surprise, she encountered someone who disregarded the power of poison.
Lin Hao asked, "Is there anything else?"
The first soul skill of Blue Silver Grass can remove abnormal statuses from Lin Hao the moment it is activated. During the activation of the soul skill, he cannot be immune to poison.
Theoretically speaking, as long as Lin Hao uses his first soul skill frequently, he can achieve poison immunity.
Dugu Yan was furious. She glared at Lin Hao with a vicious look. "You better pray that I never see you again."
The distance from Tiandou City to Tiandou Royal Academy is nearly twenty kilometers.
It's currently class time, and there's hardly anyone else to be seen on the official road leading directly to the academy.
Lin Hao spent five years at the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy, during which time he consistently skipped classes.
The college's teachers also approached Lin Hao about this.
When Lin Hao consistently ranked first in his grade in every exam, the academy allowed him complete freedom.
The things taught in the academy come from various books.
Besides sudden enlightenment, Lin Hao also possesses a photographic memory.
Anything he has seen, once he has seen it, he will remember it firmly in his mind.
Especially after obtaining spirit rings one after another, and having his own vitality become even stronger, Lin Hao discovered that in addition to the five senses, his memory had also become much better.
A person walks on the official road, sunlight filtering through the trees on both sides.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out.
Lin Hao shifted his body slightly to the left, and the arrow pierced through his afterimage and stuck in the ground.
Lin Hao turned around, looked at the woods by the roadside, and said, "You've finally decided to take action."
From behind a tree in the woods, a young man dressed in brocade robes emerged.
The young man, bow and arrow in hand, slowly walked from the woods onto the official road and asked curiously, "How did you know I was following you?"
Lin Hao touched the ring, which shimmered with light. He took out the sachet he had bought earlier on the street, opened it, and its contents spilled onto the ground. He said, "The answer is in the sachet you sold. Besides lemongrass, mint, calamus, patchouli, honeysuckle, perilla leaves, angelica, dried tangerine peel, and lavender, your sachet also contained the fragrance of perilla flowers. Perilla flowers have a long-lasting fragrance, are difficult to cultivate, and are produced in very small quantities. They are often used to track others."
The young man who killed the man with a hidden arrow was none other than the stall owner who sold sachets in Tiandou City.
The stall owner said with a hint of surprise, "I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age."
Lin Hao's mother is Yang Qianqian, who is rumored to have a connection with the Po clan.
Because of his mother, Lin Hao was exposed to medicinal herbs from a young age and also understood some pharmacology.
In his storage jade ring, there was also a pharmacopoeia left by his mother.
Lin Hao continued his analysis, "You mixed perilla flowers into the sachet. Your intentions are sinister. I'm very curious why you did that? Of course, I'm even more curious about something else, also ground into powder. What exactly is that?"
The young man narrowed his eyes, revealing murderous intent. "The dead don't need to know the answers!"
As he spoke, the young man put away his bow and arrows, and three spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
The colors of the spirit rings, from the inside out, are white, yellow, and purple.
After the martial spirit possessed him, the young man's entire body shone with golden light.
"Physical Martial Soul!"
Lin Hao was taken aback, as the opponent's martial soul was a one-in-a-million true body martial soul.
It is not only the physical spirit of the body, but also an important part of the young man's body.
"Third Soul Skill: Golden Stem Piercing the Sun!"
The youth's martial spirit is like an unyielding golden spear, or a pillar supporting the sky.
Suddenly, the martial spirit extended rapidly forward like a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff). Wherever it passed, scorched marks appeared on the ground.
"Bang!"
Then, a series of sounds were heard.
The young man's soul skill not only failed to kill Lin Hao, but he was also hit by Lin Hao's Rasengan. His body spun and flew out, crashing into several large trees.
Lin Hao walked up to the young man, touched the jade ring with his fingers, and took out a long sword.
The young man tried to get up from the ground, but Lin Hao stomped on his chest, forcing him back down. At the same time, the long sword in Lin Hao's hand touched the young man's throat, making him unable to move.
Lin Hao snapped, "Answer what I just said!"
"I'll talk, don't kill me, I'll talk."
Lin Hao learned this from the young man's confession.
The young man was a villager from the seaside who awakened his martial soul, the Heavenly Sacrifice Golden Stem, at the age of six. He possessed innate soul power at level one.
Before he turned eighteen, he accomplished nothing. Through diligent cultivation, he barely reached level eleven in soul power, thus becoming a true soul master.
When he turned eighteen, his family celebrated and arranged a marriage for him.
However, on his wedding night, he rightly unleashed his golden touch.
His soul power surged by two levels in an instant.
However, his newlywed wife died suddenly because of his excessive behavior.
From then on, he was like a man possessed, his eyes would light up whenever he saw a woman.
Every woman who had sex with him would die as a result.
The authorities wanted to arrest him, but he fled.
From then on, he traveled across the continent. While selling sachets to earn money, he also used the scent of perilla flowers to find suitable young women to improve his cultivation.
Fearing discovery by the authorities, he had to commit crimes while on the run.
He witnessed Dugu Yan and Lin Hao sparring on the street and, upon discovering that Lin Hao's martial soul was the useless Blue Silver Grass, harbored malicious intentions. Besides robbing him of his virtue, he also wanted to rob him. He noticed that Lin Hao appeared to be very wealthy.
He never expected to be caught off guard and lose to a Soul Master with a useless Martial Soul.
Lin Hao said, "There's another question. What is that fragrance that I can't smell?"
The young man looked strange and didn't want to answer. He begged for mercy, "My storage ring contains a lot of valuables. Take it, please spare my life."
Lin Hao's expression was displeased; he snorted, the tip of his sword piercing the skin of the young man's throat. "Hmm?"
What truly caught Lin Hao's attention was something else that had a tremendous uplifting effect on his spirit.
Lin Hao had a feeling that it might be helpful for cultivating mental strength.
Unfortunately, the substance was ground into powder, making it impossible to identify what it was.
The young man was terrified and hurriedly replied, "Don't kill me! I'll talk, I'll talk! It's dragon urine!"
