Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 28 Sunset Forest, Second Uncle Yu Luomian
After Yu Xiaolie left the convoy alone, he ran towards the sect.

At this moment, he was filled with dissatisfaction. After the falling out with Yu Zhentian, he could no longer stay in the convoy as if nothing had happened.

After running for an unknown distance, Yu Xiaolie suddenly sensed a familiar presence behind him. Turning around, he saw it was the Second Master Yu Yuanhai.

Yu Yuanhai's breathing was steady and he easily followed him.

"Xiao Lie, are you okay?"

Yu Yuanhai took a few steps forward and looked at Yu Xiaolie with a look full of concern.

"Second Master, I'm fine."

Yu Xiaolie shook his head.

Yu Yuanhai breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and gently patted Yu Xiaolie's shoulder, saying helplessly.

"You're just too stubborn, kid. Your grandfather is doing this for your own good. What's wrong with going to Thunder Academy? Didn't your eldest brother go there too?"

"Second Master, I have my own plans. In the sect, I can better plan my own path of cultivation."

Yu Xiaolie pursed his lips and looked towards the sect.

"Grandpa is also worried about your future, he's just a little harsh in his approach. Thunder Academy is rich in resources and can provide you with a better platform."

Yu Yuanhai looked at Yu Xiaolie's stubborn look and sighed.

Yu Xiaolie frowned slightly and said seriously.

"Second Master, I know he's doing this for my own good. But everyone's cultivation methods are different."

Yu Xiaolie looked at Yu Yuanhai and then asked a question.

"Second Master, what do you think is the method for a soul master to improve his soul power level?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanhai's expression became serious and he spoke patiently.

"For a soul master to improve, one of the key things is to find a mimicking environment. Only in a place that matches the attributes of one's own martial soul can a soul master absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more efficiently and achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation."

"The second is the most basic meditation, which is also extremely important. In silence, you can comprehend the spiritual power of heaven and earth and nourish yourself."

"And actual combat, gaining experience in battle and pushing your limits."

But as he spoke, Yu Yuanhai's voice became smaller and smaller, as if someone had suddenly strangled him.

A hint of realization flashed across his eyes, and the classrooms filled with students at Thunder Academy involuntarily emerged in his mind.

With so many students in a class, each with different talents and martial spirits, how could the teacher have the energy to care about how a child with a mutant martial spirit should practice?
Thinking of this, Yu Yuanhai finally understood why Yu Xiaolie insisted.

"Xiao Lie, you feel that no one in the academy can teach students according to their aptitude, which has delayed your own cultivation."

Yu Xiaolie nodded slightly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yu Yuanhai's face. He knew that Xiao Lie wanted to continue staying in the sect and practicing with him, but...

"But even if you return to the sect and follow me, I can't accompany you to practice every day. The sect leader has instructed..."

At this point, his voice unconsciously lowered, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

When Yu Xiaolie heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Even though Yu Yuanhai hadn't finished speaking, he had guessed what Yu Zhentian had said.

It's nothing more than taking time out every day to train with the talented Yu Xiaozhen. After all, Yu Xiaozhen is the sect's key training target and carries everyone's high hopes.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaolie's eyes dimmed, but his heart was in turmoil.

I thought that returning to the sect and following the Second Master would give me more opportunities for growth, but now it seems that this road is also full of thorns.

For a moment, there was an awkward silence between the two.

After a long while, Yu Yuanhai seemed to have made a difficult decision and said:
"Go find your second uncle!"

Yu Xiaolie raised his head suddenly when he heard this.

The second uncle Yu Luomian mentioned by the second master is an extremely unfamiliar existence to Yu Xiaolie.

In the sect, he had only met his second aunt. His second uncle was not in the sect all year round, and Yu Xiaolie had never even met him once.

……

At this time, in a small town near the distant Sunset Forest.

Yu Luomian, dressed in a blue robe, was busy in an orderly manner.

In the small town, most of the people coming and going are soul masters and their assistants who are busy with soul beast-related matters.

Yu Luomian had just returned from an expedition in the forest, with a look of fatigue on his face.

He walked into a spacious room filled with various books, specimens and instruments related to soul beast research.

"Recently, several hundred-year-old soul beasts have been active in the eastern area of ​​Sunset Forest, which may pose a threat to the surrounding villages."

An assistant said anxiously.

Yu Luomian nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the huge forest map on the wall, and after thinking for a moment, he made arrangements.

"Increase patrols in the eastern area and closely monitor the movements of spirit beasts. Report any abnormalities immediately."

After arranging the affairs, Yu Luomian turned and walked towards the training farm.

Inside the field, several tamed soul beasts stayed quietly in their respective areas. He carefully observed their conditions and recorded data from time to time.

In this small town, every job is related to the safety of the surrounding people, and also carries the trust of the Tiandou royal family in him.

……

"Second Master, since you said that Second Uncle represented our sect and was stationed at the edge of Sunset Forest with the Tiandou Imperial Family's army all year round, then why didn't we directly ask Second Uncle for information when we went to hunt spirit rings, but instead blindly went into the forest to try our luck?"

After hearing about his second uncle's responsibilities, Yu Xiaolie was full of doubts and couldn't help but speak.

In his opinion, his second uncle has first-hand information about soul beasts. If he can obtain it, hunting soul rings will be twice the result with half the effort.

When Yu Yuanhai heard this question, he sighed helplessly and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"This is not allowed unless the Emperor agrees. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to abusing one's authority to benefit the sect."

"The relationship between our sect and the royal family has become increasingly ordinary."

The relationship between the sect and the royal family is delicate, and any carelessness may lead to a greater crisis of trust.

"Also, monitoring soul beasts is mainly for the service of the royal soul masters. When the soul masters in the army need to absorb soul rings, they will find them to assist in hunting."

Yu Yuanhai continued to explain.

"After all, the Empire can't just ignore a Soul Beast Forest like this. The resources within it must be utilized to serve the Empire."

He shook his head slightly and looked at Yu Xiaolie, hoping that he could understand the interests involved. Yu Xiaolie listened to Yu Yuanhai's words and nodded.

After the two finished their discussion, they set off for Sunset Forest together.

……

After several days of long journey, Yu Xiaolie and Yu Yuanhai finally arrived at the border of Sunset Forest.

From a distance, what comes into view is an orderly camp.

The camp is surrounded by a sturdy fence with various warning signs hanging on it, reminding everyone of the dangers lurking in the forest.

There is a huge bonfire pit in the center of the camp, which is now burning with a blazing fire, bringing a touch of warmth to this somewhat desolate border.

There were some tables and chairs made from tree trunks around, piled with various maps, documents and hunting tools.

Not far away, soldiers were conducting daily training, with shouts of killing coming one after another, and their figures appeared particularly resolute under the afterglow of the setting sun.

As soon as the two men entered the camp, two soldiers holding spears came up quickly and looked at them vigilantly.

Yu Yuanhai hurried forward and revealed his identity and stated his purpose. After hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other.

one of them said.

"Follow me, both of you. I will take you to see Master Yu."

Afterwards, led by the soldiers, Yu Xiaolie and Yu Yuanhai walked through the crowded camp and headed towards the largest tent.

Along the way, people cast curious glances at us.

The atmosphere in the tent was somewhat depressing.

Yu Luomian sat in the main seat, looking at Yu Xiaolie and Yu Yuanhai with a cold expression.

After listening to Yu Yuanhai's explanation of his purpose, he frowned and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

In his opinion, the sect sending Yu Xiaolie here at this time was clearly throwing trouble to him. He was busy with royal affairs every day and had no energy to take care of this child.

"This is not a shelter. I don't have time to take care of him."

Yu Luomian's tone was cold, and he made no effort to hide his rejection.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and looked distant.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanhai leaned close to Yu Luomian's ear and whispered.

"Xiao Lie has a mutant spirit. The Sect Master asked him to go to Thunder Academy, but he refused to do so."

Upon hearing the words "mutated martial soul", Yu Luomian's body stiffened slightly, as if something had struck him deep inside.

Yu Luomian looked up at Yu Xiaolie, her eyes becoming complicated.

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't be a burden to you. I just want to find a place where I can improve myself."

Yu Xiaolie looked at Yu Luomian with a firm gaze.

Yu Luomian looked at Yu Xiaolie and felt as if she saw her former self.

Because of the family's favoritism, more attention was paid to the eldest brother Yu Yuanzhen.

Obviously, he also has the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit, but because his elder brother awakened earlier than him and accumulated spirit power earlier, the sect paid less attention to him. This is also why he left in anger and rarely returned to the sect.

"Well, now that you're here, just stay."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolie looked at Yu Luomian with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Yu Luomian looked at Yu Xiaolie without a smile on his face and spoke coldly.

"Here, you only get paid if you work, and you only get food to eat."

"Besides, I don't have time to care whether you live or die."

His eyes were fixed on Yu Xiaolie, as if he wanted to see a hint of embarrassment on his face.

In his opinion, only by setting strict rules for the child in advance can he stop being dependent on him.

After hearing this, Yu Xiaolie was not afraid, but instead his eyes lit up with excitement.

"no problem!"

He nodded vigorously.

For him, actual combat where life and death occurs is exactly the opportunity for improvement that he has always dreamed of. Every battle with danger may become an opportunity for him to break through himself and allow his combat ability and soul power to be rapidly improved.

Yu Yuanhai watched all this from the side.

He walked forward, patted Yu Xiaolie's shoulder gently, and spoke earnestly.

"Xiao Lie, be careful about everything here."

"Although your second uncle looks stern, he is a capable man. You must learn well from him."

His eyes were full of concern. He was worried that Yu Xiaolie would suffer, but also hoped that he could gain something here.

"If you really can't stay here any longer, just return to the sect. Second Grandfather will be waiting for you at the sect anytime."

Yu Xiaolie looked at Yu Yuanhai, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Second Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Yu Yuanhai gave a few more instructions before turning and leaving.

Yu Xiaolie looked at his receding back and secretly clenched his fists.

At this time, a team that had been out on a mission came back, and everyone looked tired.

Several team members were covered in blood, their clothes were torn and blood was dripping from the corners of their clothes onto the ground.

As soon as they entered the camp, they noticed Yu Xiaolie standing next to Yu Luomian, and a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.

One of them raised his hand to wipe the stains of blood and sweat from his face, and when he passed by Yu Luomian, he asked:
"who is this?"

His voice was hoarse, revealing the fatigue from the mission.

Yu Luomian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at Yu Xiaolie.

"He, Yu Xiaolie, came here looking for trouble."

Yu Luomian's tone was casual, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
