Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 7 Star Dou Great Forest

When talking about the great battle between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect back then, Yang Wudi frowned and his face was full of anger.

"The incident back then was caused by Tang Hao, the current Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect, killing Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall."

(Prologue)

"Your mother left after leaving you these words!"

"Then you just grew up, and that's how it is now!"

When Yunming heard his grandfather relay his mother's last words, a resolute light shone in his eyes, his lips pressed tightly together, as if he were trying hard to suppress his emotions. However, as he lowered his head, a tear silently slid down his cheek and landed in his palm. He quickly wiped away the tear, looked out the car window, and tried to hide his grief with a strong gaze. But the tears flowed like a burst dam, pouring from his eyes and down his cheeks, wetting his clenched fists. Despite his efforts to control himself, the pain and sorrow in his heart were uncontrollable, and the tears became his unmasked vulnerability.

Seeing his grandson's tears, Yang Wudi felt an indescribable pang of heartache. His brow furrowed, his eyes revealing deep concern and worry. Yang Wudi knew that Yunming's resilience was something he had cultivated from a young age; he knew how to face difficulties and setbacks. However, seeing Yunming's tears still deeply touched Yang Wudi. He understood that no matter how hard Yunming tried to control his emotions, the pain and sorrow in his heart could not be completely hidden. Yang Wudi silently sat down beside Yunming, letting his presence remind him that no matter when or where, his grandfather would always be by his side, offering him endless support and love.

Yunming felt his grandfather's presence and temporarily suppressed his sadness, asking the question he had after hearing about this past experience.

"So, who killed my parents? Is he still alive? And back then, from the beginning to the end of that war, Tang Hao never showed his face? So many of our clansmen died, and we don't even know why Tang Hao killed the Pope of the Spirit Hall?!"

Hearing his grandson mention the culprit who killed his daughter and son-in-law years ago, Yang Wudi felt resentful but helpless. The man was not only powerful but also held a high position in the Spirit Hall. Yang Wudi could not disregard the safety of the Po clan to seek revenge.

"Still alive! That person is none other than Guli, the current vice-commander of the Knights Guard of the Papal Palace!"

"Ming'er! Remember this! Never act rashly unless you are absolutely certain of your own and your family's safety!!!" Yang Wudi solemnly reminded Yun Ming when he spoke of this person.

Upon learning the identity of his enemy, Yun Ming's murderous intent surged, but he was temporarily helpless and had no choice but to endure it.

Seeing this, Yang Wudi continued to answer Yun Ming's second question. Thinking of this, Yang Wudi also gave a bitter smile, his eyes revealing a self-deprecating expression.

"As for Tang Hao's problem! The Clear Sky Sect hasn't told us anything, and we haven't seen Tang Hao at all from beginning to end!"

After hearing his grandfather's reply, Yun Ming fell silent, and Yang Wudi, lost in his own emotions, also remained silent. An eerie silence settled over the carriage.

Beneath this surface tranquility, a raging fire was burning fiercely within the hearts of both grandfather and grandson. Whether the fire would consume them or engulf the entire Douluo Continent when it finally erupted, no one knew!

After a long while, Yunming looked at his grandfather and said in a low voice.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have pressured you!"

"I know you don't want me to get involved in this too soon, but you know I can't escape! I won't escape! Right?!"

"I promise you, I will protect myself and make my safety my top priority. Only then will I seek the truth and take revenge!"

Hearing Yun Ming speak, Yang Wudi looked up into Yun Ming's eyes. In Yun Ming's eyes, Yang Wudi seemed to see a flame spreading wildly. He didn't know if Yun Ming could do it, but now he could only trust him. Yang Wudi silently responded.

"good!"

Yinchuan City is not far from the Starry Sky Forest, only about 400 li away.

That evening, the grandfather and grandson arrived at Soul Hunting Town, which was about 100 kilometers away from the Star Dou Great Forest. As the name suggests, Soul Hunting Town was formed because of the hunting of soul beasts, and it was a town where soul masters could rest and handle matters such as soul beast materials.

The grandfather and grandson rested in the town for one night, and set off early the next morning to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Star Dou Great Forest, located in the far north of the Star Luo Empire, spans two empires. It is the premier gathering place of the three major wild soul beasts, possessing not only the most numerous and complete types of soul beasts, but also the strongest overall strength and high-end combat power.

No one knows how long the Star Dou Great Forest has existed, but judging from the ancient trees that blot out the sky after Yun Ming entered the forest, it must have existed for a very long time.

As Yunming entered the forest, he saw that none of the trees were less than twenty meters tall, and this was only the outer edge of the forest. The trees were dense and jagged, obscuring the view beyond.

"Ming'er, always be vigilant. Danger lurks everywhere in this Star Dou Great Forest, not only among soul beasts, but also among many poisonous plants and flowers that are hard to find elsewhere!" Yang Wudi solemnly reminded Yun Ming.

"Yes, Grandpa!" Yun Ming replied earnestly, and then took out a silver spear from the emerald green phoenix ring on his index finger. As for why he didn't use the Sky-Piercing Spear, Yun Ming's soul power was not enough to maintain the Sky-Piercing Spear for a long time.

Seeing that Yun Ming was ready, Yang Wudi waved his hand and shouted.

"Set off!"

Yun Ming led the way, while Yang Wudi followed behind to keep watch and protect them, with the two about half a body length apart.

The Star Dou Great Forest was densely wooded and had no paths, so Yun Ming had to clear a way with his silver spear. Yang Wudi followed behind Yun Ming, maintaining a high level of vigilance in monitoring their surroundings.

Along the way, they encountered many soul beasts, such as the toothed weasel, the spotted cat, the solitary bamboo, and the nightmare rabbit. Yang Wudi had Yun Ming fight these low-level soul beasts to hone his combat skills, while also teaching Yun Ming about wild soul beasts and some precautions and taboos in soul beast gathering places.

Besides knowledge about soul beasts, Yang Wudi also found a lot of poisonous herbs along the way, which he introduced to Yun Ming one by one, explaining their uses, when to use them, and how to cure them. Moreover, these poisonous herbs clearly excited Yang Wudi more than the soul beasts.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Ming'er, this is three-lobed ragweed. The pollen of this herb is extremely likely to cause allergies. It can not only cause problems such as coughing, sneezing, and asthma, but also irritate the eyes and even irritate exposed skin, inducing symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching. If you want to teach someone a lesson in the future, use this."

"Look, Ming'er, this is a poinsettia. The entire plant is poisonous. Its white sap can irritate the skin and cause redness and swelling. Ingesting the stems and leaves can lead to poisoning and death. It's an essential poison for home, travel, and even for killing silently!"

"Ming'er, there's also this. The seeds of the Abrus precatorius contain a highly poisonous substance called Abrus toxin. If ingested, it can cause death."

"This is datura, which can produce an anesthetic effect, but it's not very effective."

Yun Ming: "."

In just one day, Yun Ming had a great eye-opening experience with various poisonous herbs. However, this also raised a small question for Yun Ming: how could his maternal grandfather, Yang Wudi, an extreme aggressor with all his spirit rings being of the extreme attack type, be so interested in something as unorthodox as poison? Yun Ming couldn't quite figure it out.

Throughout the day, Yun Ming defeated numerous ten-year and hundred-year-old soul beasts. He only defeated them, not killed them. It wasn't for any reason other than wanting to leave enough soul beast resources for future generations; it was simply unnecessary. After all, Yun Ming wasn't a bloodthirsty monster. It was a pity he didn't encounter the Bewitching Light Beast or the Illusion Scale Serpent he desired, or even lower-level replacement beasts.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Wudi also spoke up.

"Ming'er, let's find a place to camp first. We can still find suitable soul beasts!"

Yunming readily agreed. Soon, the grandfather and grandson set up a tent at the edge of a low-lying area with complex terrain, and sprinkled insect and snake repellent powder around the area.

As night fell, inside the camp

Yang Wudi lit a campfire and began teaching the Yunmingpo clan's exclusive meditation method.

As for not being able to light fires at night in the Star Dou Great Forest? Yang Wudi said, "What can they do if I light a fire on the outskirts of Star Dou? If any foolish soul beast dares to come, it'll be a good extra meal for my grandson tonight!"
