Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 17 Refining the Human Soul: My Enemies Aren't Human

"Don't be nervous, I'm a human, not a soul beast!"

A male voice came from the dense forest, and then a scarred man with an iron knife walked out, cutting through the thorns and brambles.

"Huh? Why is it a kid?"

Upon seeing the youthful-looking Bai Yu, the scarred man was stunned. He had heard a commotion here, but he hadn't expected it to be a kid!

"Kid, where are your parents?"

As he sized up Bai Yu, Bai Yu was also sizing him up.

Muscular and with a fierce expression, he's definitely killed someone. The fact that he dares to walk alone in the forest suggests he likely possesses soul power; I wonder if he has any soul rings.

Bai Yu's eyes darted around, and he said:

"Uncle, I've gotten separated from my dad."

He was more handsome than Tang San, and he was even better at feigning innocence.

With the added passive effect of the Human Emperor Banner, the scarred man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"Little rascal, how did you get separated from your father?"

"We encountered a giant python, and my dad lured it away by himself to save me."

Bai Yu feigned a sorrowful expression, and the scarred man's heart stirred. He asked:

"A giant python? How big is it? Does it possess soul power?"

Bai Yu looked bewildered, and the scarred man guessed that Bai Yu had no soul power, but he still continued to probe.

"I mean, was there anything special about that python, like it was exceptionally long or incredibly fast?"

Bai Yu nodded and said:

"Yes! That python was huge, probably about three meters long!"

Three meters tall, it's probably a ten-year-old soul beast. A ten-year-old soul beast is equivalent to a level ten soul master. This kid's father was able to lure it away, so his soul power must be at least level nine.

The scarred man pondered silently for a moment, then asked:

"Little friend, when your father lured the snake away, did he leave you anything so he could find you?"

Bai Yu nodded:

"Yes, my dad gave me a lot of things. He said he was afraid he wouldn't be able to come back, so he gave me everything."

The scarred man's eyes lit up:

"All of them?"

Bai Yu nodded. Suddenly, the scarred man was overcome with greed and walked step by step toward Bai Yu, laughing:

"Little friend, it's too dangerous for you to be here alone. I'll take you out of the forest."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yu suddenly summoned the black Ten Thousand Souls Banner. The dark aura, along with the terrifying suction force, scared the scarred man half to death.

"Sigh, since you dare to set your sights on me, why don't you think carefully about how I could possibly find you?"

Bai Yu smiled faintly, the innocent expression on his face vanishing in an instant.

The scarred man let out a low growl and unleashed his first soul skill, but he still couldn't break free.

He looked at Bai Yu with a horrified expression and said in disbelief:

"You, you're a Soul Master?!"

Bai Yu glanced at his white spirit ring and sneered:

"No wonder there are Soul Masters in this forest, and I even ran into one. Turns out it's just a ten-year Soul Ring. No wonder I can only hang around here."

As he spoke, Bai Yu created a series of illusions for him, and the scarred man attacked the air frantically, rapidly depleting his soul power.

When the Myriad Souls Banner was activated, the scarred man's soul was instantly torn out and shattered, turning into countless points of light. Even his soul ring was not spared and was completely devoured by the Myriad Souls Banner.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and decided not to feed the soul power to Xiao Qing, but to save it.

Whether you go back to cultivate or continue devouring souls, it's always good to retain some soul power to replenish yourself.

Bai Yu glanced at the Myriad Soul Banner. This was the first time he had refined a human soul, but he felt nothing at all.

He shows no mercy to anyone who opposes him, whether human or beast, even a maggot.

On the contrary, Bai Yu will not mistreat anyone who wholeheartedly supports him, whether human or beast.

Therefore, in Bai Yu's eyes, as long as someone is an enemy, whether they are human or pig, just kill them. Why would you distinguish between human and animal corpses?

The scarred man's corpse turned to dust and scattered, leaving only a bundle. Bai Yu went over and touched the corpse; inside were only some gold soul coins and some trash.

"It's worthless, which is understandable. Why would someone with money come here? They would have gone to the Soul Hunting Forest long ago. Now I have the Myriad Soul Banner, Little Green, and the system. I can even fight against a level 29 Great Soul Master. With this kind of strength, I can make a name for myself in the Soul Hunting Forest."

Bai Yu remembered that Yu Xiao was only level 29 when he dared to take Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest. His Luo Sanpao was still a trash martial soul. Bai Yu's current combat power should be stronger than his, and he was sure he could also venture into the Soul Hunting Forest.

As long as you don't encounter a soul beast that is over 200 years old, your chances of winning are very high.

It's okay if you encounter it; the system is there. You can just modify the narration and run away.

Having made up his mind, Bai Yu decided to go back to the academy for a stroll first, so as not to arouse the dean's suspicion if he was away for too long.

However, before that, he needs to register at the Spirit Hall branch and obtain the Spirit Master's Manual before he can be qualified to enter the Soul Hunter Forest.

In the Martial Soul Branch Hall, Su Yuntao and Matthew were discussing matters when suddenly a guard led Bai Yu in.

Upon seeing Bai Yu, Su Yuntao suddenly remembered him and exclaimed with delight:

"Bai Yu?"

Bai Yu nodded and smiled:

"Mr. Su Yuntao, it's been a long time."

Su Yuntao introduced him to Matthew, who exclaimed in surprise:

"Child, you've already obtained your first spirit ring?"

Bai Yu nodded, and Matthew was greatly shocked.

Su Yuntao had other things to do, so before leaving he gave Matthew a wink. Matthew understood and, while helping Bai Yu register, tried to poach him from the company.

Especially after learning that Bai Yu was a support-type character with innate full soul power, Matthew was even more eager to go to Notting Academy to poach him from Dean Wu.

To be fair, both of them were born with full soul power and both obtained their first soul ring at the age of six. The current Bai Yu is much more important than Tang San in the original story.

Control-type characters are nowhere near as scarce as support-type characters.

Especially since this support class is almost omnipotent, that's why Matthew is so fanatical about it.

However, after being persuaded by Bai Yu, Matthew finally gave up the idea of ​​poaching people. But he made an agreement with Bai Yu that if Bai Yu had similar ideas in the future, the Spirit Hall would be the first place to be considered.

Bai Yu readily agreed. Regardless of whether he had such thoughts or not, it was always good to have a backup plan.

After registering, Bai Yu returned to Notting College, only to run into Boss Xiao at the college gate.

Boss Xiao and a few of his underlings were surrounding a man. Bai Yu took a closer look and realized that the man was the same gatekeeper he and Old Jack had encountered when they came to the academy.

Bai Yu walked over, and Xiao Laoda's voice reached his ears from afar.

"You bastard! My family came to deliver something to me, and you dare to stop them? Who do you think you are?"

"I won't use my city background to bully you. Even here in this academy, I'm a Soul Master, and you're not. You're only fit to bow and scrape before me!"

The doorman nodded nervously and echoed his agreement.

At this moment, Bai Yu walked over, patted Boss Xiao on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Boss Xiao, what are you doing?"

Boss Xiao was furious, but when he turned around and looked, his anger vanished, replaced by a sense of fear.

"Bai Yu? What are you doing?!"

"Don't look at me like a mouse seeing a cat. We've become acquainted through a misunderstanding, and you're not happy that I'm saying hello?"

Bai Yu smiled enigmatically. Boss Xiao swallowed hard. He harbored some resentment towards Bai Yu, after all, he had been tricked by him that day. If he had known earlier that Bai Yu was a support-type character, he and Zhao Hu would have won long ago!

However, the effects of Bai Yu's Emperor Banner quietly activated, and Boss Xiao felt that Bai Yu had suddenly become more approachable, and he smiled:

"Hey, what are you talking about? We're all classmates, what's there to be unhappy about? But you, when are we going to have another match? I definitely won't lose this time!"

The doorman swallowed hard, looked at Bai Yu, and recognized him too. Wasn't this the little brat from that day?

He was already on equal footing with Boss Xiao as soon as he entered the school?

Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
