Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

The next morning.

Lin Chuan and Shui Lanxin left Tianshui City, accompanied by Leng Man, the head of the teaching department.

Upon learning that Lin Chuan's martial soul had awakened for the second time and that his soul power had broken through to level 30, Leng Man's usually cold and aloof demeanor instantly crumbled.

After six months of observation, she gradually came to understand Lin Chuan.

Although the latter was still young, he was unusually mature, with a gentle and approachable personality, so Leng Man gradually accepted this student.

I never expected that the other party would be so monstrous.

Regardless of anything else, Lin Chuan is a member of Tianshui Academy. The stronger he becomes, the better it will be for the academy. So when Leng Man learned that Shui Lanxin planned to take him to hunt for the third soul ring, she also took the initiative to participate. With an additional Soul Saint, the trip would be more secure.

"Here you go, Xiaochuan."

Inside the carriage, Shui Lanxin took out a ring from her bosom and handed it to Lin Chuan, who reached out and took it. "This is... a soul tool?!"

"You have good insight. It is indeed a soul tool. I came back to the family specifically to get it. It's inconvenient for you to carry so many arrows on your back, so you can put them in the soul tool!"

Lin Chuan blinked, but did not refuse.

He was well aware that this was an investment from Shui Lanxin or the Shui family. Although it was just a small soul tool, due to the loss of the corresponding manufacturing process, all types of soul tools were quite precious.

"Thank you very much, Dean. I will remember your kindness."

Hearing this, Shui Lanxin was delighted and smiled gently, "No need to be so polite, Xiao Chuan, you are my student, and your growth will also benefit the academy."

"By the way, have you decided which soul beast you'll choose this time?"

Wearing a long blue dress, Shui Lanxin looked at the boy beside her, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.

"I haven't decided yet. Let's look for one first. But the soul rings should be at least 5,000 years old!" Lin Chuan shook his head, his tone somewhat indifferent.

"Over five thousand years old? Is that an exaggeration?"

Shui Lanxin couldn't help but complain, and even Leng Man, who had been silent, secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.

The third spirit ring is a whopping five thousand years old! That's outrageous!

Most geniuses strive for the best spirit ring configuration, but Lin Chuan has already transcended this boundary. This shows that there is a significant gap between geniuses.

Fortunately, these prodigies were students of their Tianshui Academy.

After a long journey, we arrived at Sunset Forest.

As one of the three major gathering places of soul beasts, the vegetation inside Sunset Forest is not very dense, at least not as lush as Star Dou Great Forest, but it is not as desolate as Frozen Forest either.

Overall, Sunset Forest is like a combination of the two, but it's more refreshing.

However, although there are many soul beasts in Sunset Forest, not many have a cultivation level of more than 10,000 years. Most of them are between 1,000 and 10,000 years old, which is just right for Lin Chuan's current needs.

However, finding a suitable soul beast is not so easy.

After half a day in the Sunset Forest, they encountered countless soul beasts, some of which had too low a cultivation level, while others did not meet the requirements.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan was already mentally prepared, so he was not in a hurry.

Night falls quietly.

They lit a fire, set up a tent, and rested for a while. However, Lin Chuan did not choose to rest. Instead, he made a target with a machete and began to practice archery.

Shui Lanxin and Leng Man sat by the fire, quietly watching Lin Chuan repeatedly draw his bow and nock his arrow.

Despite the tedious nature of the task, they were able to persevere every day without fail, which truly impressed them both.

"Lan Xin, Lin Chuan's martial soul is a bow, but he needs to use arrows to attack. If this happens during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, it will be a huge disadvantage for him!"

Leng Man suddenly realized this, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Shui Lanxin chuckled softly, "Don't worry about that. Xiao Chuan's soul skill doesn't require arrows, but correspondingly, the consumption will undoubtedly be much greater."

"I can rest assured that!"

Leng Man nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.

It is important to know that the rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament clearly state that no weapon other than a Martial Soul can be used.

If Lin Chuan's soul skill requires the aid of arrows, then he's truly doomed.

"Swish—"

Just then, a faint sound came from the darkness.

Lin Chuan was startled and suddenly drew his bow, shooting an arrow to the left.

"Ouch!"

With a sob, countless bright spots suddenly appeared in the dark forest, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be pairs of eyes.

The scene before me is a godsend for those who are afraid of the dark and timid.

Under the bright moonlight, the group of uninvited guests gradually revealed themselves.

"This is... a Gale Wolf!"

Shui Lanxin and Leng Man slowly stood up, their beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

Lin Chuan's gaze swept past the numerous Gale Wolves and looked towards the very back. "There's another big guy behind us, Dean, Director Leng. It looks like my third spirit ring might be secured!"

"oh?!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Lanxin and the other person looked in the direction indicated.

At the very back of the pack, a Swiftwind Wolf, significantly larger than the others, came into view. Most importantly, this Swiftwind Wolf had two heads.

"A two-headed Gale Wolf, a mutated soul beast?"

Shui Lanxin raised her eyebrows slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

A genius with innate full soul power emerged from Shenfeng Academy. His martial soul was mutated from the Gale Wolf, specifically the two-headed Gale Wolf. They never expected to encounter such a soul beast in Sunset Forest.

Looking at the pack of wolves in front of him, Lin Chuan had a strange expression.

Isn't his connection with wolf-type spirit beasts a little too deep?

First, they encountered the Nether Wolves in the Immaculate Plains, and then the Ice Wolves in the Frozen Forest. Who knew that when they came to the Sunset Forest, they would encounter the Gale Wolf Pack.

However, it seems like I've had pretty good luck this time.

If it were an ordinary Gale Wolf, Lin Chuan might hesitate, but a thousand-year-old two-headed Gale Wolf would be perfect.

"Dean Shui, this is the one!"

"Okay, let me do it!"

Shui Lanxin nodded slightly, her spirit rings shining behind her.

The next moment, all the Gale Wolves in front of her were frozen, but Shui Lanxin held back and did not harm the Gale Wolves.

Lin Chuan flashed forward and ended the life of the two-headed Gale Wolf, a deep purple soul ring slowly rising.

"This mutated Gale Wolf has a cultivation level of at least 5,500 years. Are you sure there's no problem? Lin Chuan, you need to think this through!"

Leng Man spoke in a cold voice, her words conveying concern despite their coldness.

Lin Chuan smiled faintly, "Director Leng, don't worry, I have confidence in myself."

"Alright then, Xiao Chuan, hurry up and start absorbing. Director Leng and I will protect you."

Although Shui Lanxin also had some worries, she could only choose to believe it for now.

Lin Chuan stopped wasting words, sat down cross-legged on the spot, took a deep breath, and guided the spirit ring to his body, beginning to absorb the spirit ring of the mutated Gale Wolf.

This absorption process lasts for a whole day!

Chapter 41 Third Soul Skill

It was already the next day.

As a blue halo enveloped his entire body, three spirit rings floated up behind Lin Chuan one after another, one yellow and two purple, shimmering and shining, indicating the successful absorption of the spirit rings.

Seeing this, Shui Lanxin and Leng Man, who had been on edge, immediately relaxed. Heaven knows how worried they had been during this time. They had driven away many soul beasts along the way and were quite exhausted, but fortunately, they succeeded in the end.

The two exchanged a glance, a look of joy spreading across their faces.

Lin Chuan opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"Congratulations, Xiao Chuan, you've succeeded again!" Shui Lanxin congratulated him with a smile, then eagerly asked, "How did it go? This two-headed Gale Wolf is a mutated soul beast, so the soul skills it provides should be quite good, right?"

Lin Chuan nodded slightly.

"It's not bad. My soul power has reached level thirty-three. As for soul skills..."

With a wave of his hand, a black shortbow appeared in his palm.

Without the aid of an arrow, he drew the bowstring, and the deep purple soul ring instantly shone brightly, an arrow formed from the power of a gust of wind appearing out of thin air.

"Third Soul Skill: Gale Arrow Rain!"

Without a sound, Shui Lanxin only saw a flash of white light before her eyes, and the Swift Arrow flew out quickly. Then, it suddenly split into five identical arrows in the air, piercing into a large tree. With a bang, the thick trunk instantly exploded, and wood chips were pulverized and scattered everywhere.
