The Golden Generation of Douluo Continent, starting with the inheritance of the Flame Emperor.

"A Soul Master wanted?"

Yan suddenly became interested: "Teacher, please tell me."

"The incident began six months ago in the Kingdom of Barak."

Resak began, "The Spirit Hall of Sok City has discovered that murders are occurring frequently in the secondary cities and towns to which the city belongs."

The investigation revealed that the perpetrators were not ordinary people, but rather fallen soul masters.

The Spirit Hall then launched a manhunt, but this fallen spirit master was extremely cunning and never lingered in one place for long.

He has been committing crimes in multiple locations, and it seems that his strength has reached a bottleneck in the past two months. He has been frantically killing innocent villagers and low-level Soul Masters.

It has already caused the deaths of hundreds of people, and its strength has increased from a Great Soul Master to a Level 37 Soul Venerable.

As he spoke, Resac, fearing that Yan might not know what a Fallen Soul Master was, explained it to Yan.

"Fallen Soul Masters rely on the evil cultivation method of killing and devouring flesh and blood, which leads to their cultivation improving extremely rapidly."

Moreover, their combat power is extremely high; in battles of the same level, the Fallen Soul Master usually wins.

However, because their cultivation methods were too vicious, the Fallen Soul Masters not only became more evil and ruthless in character, but also had an extremely bad reputation, making them arguably the enemies of the common people.

One of the main responsibilities of our Spirit Hall is to hunt down and kill these fallen spirit masters.

"Fallen Soul Master".

Yan nodded. Wasn't this the progenitor of the evil soul masters in Douluo Continent II?

Or rather, it's the term used in the novel *Douluo Continent I* to refer to evil spirit masters.

However, because the Spirit Hall in Douyi maintains the stability of the continent, it relentlessly hunts down these fallen soul masters.

In addition, the City of Slaughter, a huge recycling center that shelters fallen soul masters, prevented fallen soul masters from wreaking havoc on the continent like in Douluo Continent II.

"So, do you dare to take on this mission?"

Resak looked at Yan.

Yan's strength is indeed far superior to Tongji's. He can hold his own against the four Soul Masters and already has the combat power of a Soul King.

However, Fallen Soul Masters are far more dangerous than ordinary Soul Masters, and their combat power is also much stronger.

Even with the cultivation level of a Soul Venerable, their combat power rivals that of a Soul Sect Master, and their soul skills are unpredictable, making them not so easy to deal with.

What are the rewards for this task?

Yan didn't directly say whether he accepted the mission, but instead asked about the rewards.

"A piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue carefully roasted by the Spirit Hall."

"That's quite a generous offer." Yan smiled. However, dealing with Fallen Soul Masters, who are extremely dangerous, such a mission could easily result in death or serious injury if one is not careful. It is understandable that the reward is generous.

"Are Xie Yue and Nana on similar missions?" Yan asked again.

"How could that be?"

Resak chuckled and looked at Yan: "Not everyone has your current strength."

Xie Yue and Nana's mission is to obtain the Gold Soul Badge in the Soul Arena within two months, mainly to improve their combat abilities and solidify their foundation.

Your strength has long surpassed the limits of the Great Soul Master realm, and your combat ability has also been enhanced through training. Entering the Great Soul Arena will no longer serve any purpose in honing your skills.

Only through bloodshed can you pave the true path to becoming a powerful figure.

"Understood." Yan replied knowingly, "I choose to accept the mission."

"Alright, let me give you the mission information."

Resak didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Target code name Blood Bat, level 37 agility-attack type, martial soul is a mutated vampire bat."

Bloodthirsty, ruthless, and adept at concealment and creating panic.

Barak's side pursued him for almost half a year, losing three Soul Masters and seriously injuring one Soul Grandmaster, but he still managed to escape.

Recent clues point to the outskirts of a primeval forest adjacent to the border of the Star Luo Empire, a place with complex terrain and few inhabitants.

However, after a thorough search, the Spirit Hall has roughly determined the area where it is hiding.

Your objective is to enter the hiding area, find traces of the blood bats, and kill them.

The mission has a one-month time limit. If you fail to complete the kill mission after one month, other Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall will take over and kill the Blood Bat.

A month is a fairly ample time.

Yan looked up at Resac: "Do you have detailed information? His soul skills, modus operandi, the exact location where he last disappeared...?"

Resack's eyes flashed with approval. He returned to his room, came out with a sealed file, and handed it to Yan.

"Inside is all the information that the Spirit Hall currently possesses, including records of past encounters and the Blood Bat's spirit rings and spirit skills."

The last confirmed trail was found near Greystone Town, on the outskirts of the primeval forest.

"Please note that the area is near the border of the Starfall Empire, and the situation is complex. It's best to avoid causing too much disturbance while pursuing the Blood Bats, lest you arouse the suspicion of the Starfall authorities and cause unnecessary trouble."

Yan took the file, looked it over carefully, and had a general idea in mind: "Since we only have one month, let's set off as soon as possible and finish this quickly."

"Of course, when do you plan to leave?" Resack asked.

"The sooner the better," Yan said.

"Let's set off this afternoon then." Resack patted Yan on the shoulder. "I'll go with you, both to supervise and to support you."

The growth rate of a Fallen Soul Master's strength cannot be measured by normal standards. With Resak around, even if Yan is ultimately defeated by the Blood Bat, at least his safety is guaranteed.

"Go and make the preparations. We'll set off this afternoon."

Resak waved his hand, indicating that Yan could go back and prepare the things needed for this operation.

Yan didn't waste any time. He bowed to Resak and then withdrew.

Back in the dormitory, Yan didn't really have much to pack. She grabbed a few changes of clothes, exchanged some medicine for healing at the college's resource department, and then went back.

During lunch, Yan told Xie Yue and Hu Liena about the mission he was going to carry out.

With the two's concern and instructions, Yan left the advanced academy early in the afternoon with Resac and hurried towards the direction of Graystone Town.

In the afternoon, the sun was setting in the west.

Yan and Resac left the back mountain of Wuhun City, carried by two hybrid soul beast horses specially bred by the Wuhun Hall, galloping southeast along the main road.

Resac changed into a set of gray-brown leather armor that allowed for easier movement. He kept his aura understated, but constantly scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes.

Yan was also dressed in dark, close-fitting clothes, with a cloak over it, a short sword at his waist, and a small bag on his back.

Soul tools are rare in Douluo Continent. Currently, apart from Hu Liena, Yan and Xie Yue do not have dedicated soul tools, so they can only carry some of their luggage with them.

The horses used by the Spirit Hall were extremely fast, and by evening they had already left the bustling Spirit City and entered the hilly area in the southeast of the Barak Kingdom.

The road gradually became deserted, and the forests on both sides became increasingly dense and secluded, with the air filled with the pungent smell of grass, trees, and soil.

"There's a small town about 50 miles ahead. Let's rest there for the night and continue our journey tomorrow morning."

Resak opened his mouth.

This was Yan's first time leaving Wuhun City, and everything outside was unfamiliar to her, so naturally she didn't object.
