Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 16 Three Years Later

Three years later.

In the back hills of Notting Academy, a black-haired boy sat quietly in meditation.

hum-

Suddenly, a surge of soul power emanated from the boy, and he immediately opened his bright black eyes.

"Level 10! After three years, I've finally reached level 10!"

Su Mo opened his eyes, his expression filled with excitement.

After three years of diligent cultivation, Su Mo has finally improved his soul power from level 2 to level 10.

Thinking about how he had gotten through the past three years, Su Mo felt a pang of emotion.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he increased his soul power by 8 levels in three years, almost catching up with Tang San and Xiao Wu's improvement speed. Only Su Mo himself knows the hardships he endured.

Su Mo was almost always either cultivating or on his way to cultivation.

Su Mo leveled up 8 times in three years, but he didn't improve so quickly every year; his improvement was gradual.

As Su Mo's self-created new cultivation technique became more and more mature, coupled with Su Mo's daily physical training and the improvement of his physical fitness, Su Mo's new cultivation technique was also strengthened.

During these three years, Su Mo rarely even went to the classroom.

Su Mo learned everything through self-study at the library!

Spending an hour each day studying in the library is a relaxing time for Su Mo.

Thinking that it would take him several times longer to barely catch up with the improvement speed of geniuses like Tang San and Xiao Wu, Su Mo felt a pang of sadness.

This is why he created his own new cultivation technique, which other students with ordinary talent like him could not catch up with.

What Su Mo caught up with was only Tang San's rate of improvement.

Three years have passed, and Su Mo has only broken through to level 10, while Tang San has already become a level 21 Great Soul Master.

Su Mo and Tang San's levels not only didn't get closer, but actually got further apart.

However, over the years, Su Mo had long since become accustomed to the inequality brought about by different talents. She felt only sadness, but did not complain or blame others.

Because Su Mo believed that human will could overcome fate.

Since he was able to create a new cultivation technique, he will definitely be able to catch up in the future.

"Tomorrow, I should go hunting for my first spirit ring!"

Su Mo smiled and then returned to the academy to prepare for a good night's sleep.

……

The next day, Su Mo did not go directly to the Soul Hunting Forest, the closest forest to Notting City, but instead went to the blacksmith shop in the city first.

"Boss, is everything I ordered ready?"

After entering the blacksmith shop, Su Mo asked the shopkeeper who was forging something.

"It's you! Your order is ready, I'll pick it up for you right away!"

The boss looked up and saw it was Su Mo, and immediately smiled happily.

A few days ago, Su Mo ordered some things from him, and he was worried that Su Mo wouldn't come. Now that he has seen Su Mo, he can finally rest assured.

Then, the shop owner took out a bag and placed it in front of Su Mo: "This was made to order according to your requirements. Open it and take a look!"

Su Mo opened it and checked it. He found that the boss had made everything he wanted, and nodded in satisfaction.

"And what about my weapons?"

Su Mo continued.

"It's already finished!"

"Here are the bow and gun you requested!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the shopkeeper quickly took out two items from under the counter.

They are a bow and a spear.

The bow was forged according to Su Mo's requirements. It was a composite bow with pulleys at both ends, and it looked very different from traditional bows, quite strange!

The gun was made based on Su Mo's Soul-Hunting Gun, and it was practically identical to Su Mo's Martial Soul Soul-Hunting Gun.

After fiddling with them for a while, Su Mo was quite satisfied.

So Su Mo paid the balance, and the boss readily gave Su Mo a quiver of arrows.

They then rented a horse-drawn carriage with their belongings and set off for the Soul Hunting Forest, four hundred miles away.

As for the Spirit Hall certificate required to enter the Soul Hunter Forest, Su Mo has already obtained it.

Hunting for spirit rings is just that troublesome.

In particular, hunting low-level soul beasts is important because the low-level soul beast forests are all kept in captivity by the Spirit Hall, making them relatively safe, as there are not many high-level soul beasts there.

Of course, Soul Masters can also venture into the wild Soul Beast Forests on their own, but their safety cannot be guaranteed.

Su Mo was only level 10 and didn't even have any soul skills yet, so of course he didn't dare to go to the wild soul beast forest.

Su Mo wasn't afraid of soul beasts with ten or a hundred years of cultivation, but when he encountered soul beasts with over a thousand years of cultivation, he couldn't guarantee his safety.

Yes, even Su Mo, a soul beast with a hundred years of cultivation, is not afraid.

Because Su Mo came here specifically for a soul beast of a hundred years quality.

Su Mo had made ample preparations for this.

Su Mo had mastered all the knowledge about soul beasts with a cultivation level of less than a thousand years, so that he could take targeted actions.

The pulley-operated composite bow and the long spear were also among Su Mo's preparations.

Use a bow for long-range attacks, and a gun for close-range attacks!

Logically speaking, since Su Mo's own martial soul was already a spear, there was absolutely no need for him to forge another one.

However, Su Mo did not think so, because his current martial soul, the Soul Hunter Spear, was not as strong as one that had been forged in reality.

When Su Mo watched anime in his previous life, he didn't understand why agile Soul Masters like the Min Clan, who had a speed advantage, didn't know how to use a weapon to convert their speed advantage into attack power.

In that case, even if you only have a small knife, as long as you are fast enough, it can be incredibly lethal.

Now that Su Mo has been reborn in Douluo Continent for so many years, he finally understands.

This is because Soul Masters who possess Soul Power and can use Martial Souls hold the use of weapons in utter contempt.

Almost all Soul Masters believe that weapons are only used by ordinary people and soldiers who cannot summon Martial Souls.

It was only after Tang San brought out the hidden weapons that they saw weapons that were different from ordinary weapons, and realized that they were not used by ordinary people, but were quite high-end, that they began to take them seriously.

Su Mo disagreed on this point. The reason why humans are stronger than beasts is that they have learned to use tools. In the early stages when the martial soul's destructive power is not enough, it is not shameful to use weapons.

Except for the Soul Master Competition, where the use of any external objects is prohibited, it is not prohibited at any other time. So why not use them?

Yu Xiaogang is quite wise in this regard.

The first soul beast Tang San hunted down, the Mandala Snake, was killed with the short sword that Yu Xiaogang gave him.

Yu Xiaogang, a level 29 Great Soul Master, was completely helpless against the Mandala Snake using his soul skills; he killed it with just a short sword. This shows that the weapons used by people in this world are quite powerful.

It is at least very helpful to weaker Soul Masters.

"With this bow and spear, I refuse to believe I can't hunt down a soul beast with a hundred years of cultivation!"

Looking at the bow and gun he had prepared, Su Mo was full of confidence.

Of course, confidence doesn't mean Su Mo will be reckless. After arriving at the Soul Hunting Forest, Su Mo will definitely find some weaker soul beasts to practice on first.
