Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"Dad, these are specially saved for you and my eldest brother."

"Brother, take this ancient ginseng. After you eat it, I think your soul power will be able to cultivate faster."

Wang Teng picked up the largest, ancient ginseng and shoved it directly into Wang Sheng's hand.

Wang Sheng quickly caught it and turned to look at his father.

Wang Wu waved his hand and said, "Teng'er, since these things can enhance soul power, you can keep them for yourself."

"Let him have his share, and the rest is fine. I'm too old for that, it would be a waste for me to eat it."

"Dad, I've already taken other rare and precious herbs, I can't take these anymore."

"You and your brother can use it without worry."

Wang Teng picked up a thick ginseng root and forced it into his father's hand.

"You silly child."

Wang Wu said this, but the corners of his eyes couldn't help but curve up, and his heart was filled with warmth.

"Alright, Dad, Big Brother, you can take it now. I'll watch over you."

After Wang Teng finished speaking, he walked to the door and closed it.

"Just eat it raw like this? No need to cook it into medicine?"

Wang Sheng was somewhat uncertain, and he examined the ginseng root from all angles.

"Oh dear, brother, this is a thousand-year-old ginseng king. I don't know what other medicinal herbs to brew it with."

"Just eat it directly. At most, it will just waste a little of the medicine's potency. Anyway, I brought plenty with me."

Wang Teng pointed to the dozen or so remaining pieces in the jade box, looking quite wealthy and powerful.

Wang Sheng and his father exchanged a glance and realized that what he said made sense.

So the two of them picked up ginseng and began to chew it in large mouthfuls.

Wang Sheng ate the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng King, a rare treasure even among immortal herbs.

Not long after he finished eating, he felt hot all over, as if a ball of fire was burning in his stomach, and his face turned bright red.

"Brother, start meditating!"

Wang Teng quickly reminded him.

Wang Sheng sat cross-legged and began to meditate and absorb the essence.

Soon, wisps of heat rose from the top of his head, and the burning sensation in his body gradually subsided.

Wang Wu, on the other hand, didn't make as much of a fuss.

Firstly, the ginseng he ate was smaller, and secondly, Wang Wu was old and his absorption was slower.

Even so, after a while, Wang Wu felt his mouth was dry and his whole body was burning hot, as if he were soaking in hot water.

“Dad, you’re not a Soul Master, so you can’t meditate like my older brother.”

"Go get some water and take a walk in the yard."

Wang Teng looked at his father and said.

"You're such an unreliable kid. If I had known it would be this bad, I would have saved it to make soup."

Wang Wu couldn't help but complain as he walked out.

"I didn't know this thing would have such a strong reaction on ordinary people."

Wang Teng scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Wang Wu pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. He drew a bucket of water from the well, scooped up a ladle of cold water and drank it down, which made him feel better.

Then he took the longbow off the wall and began to draw it, trying to use the movement to dissipate the medicinal effects in his body.

Wang Teng stood at the door, watching his father and elder brother slowly digest the medicinal power of the herb.

An hour later, Wang Sheng was the first to finish absorbing the nutrients.

"Roar--"

The War Tiger Martial Soul appeared behind Wang Sheng, raising its head and letting out a deep roar that seemed to shake the entire room.

At this moment, driven by the medicinal power, his soul power broke through to level 20.

"Little brother, I've broken through! I've broken through!"

Wang Sheng shouted excitedly, his face turning red.

You should know that he has been stuck at level 16 for a long time and has not been able to improve, no matter how he cultivates.

Wang Sheng was overjoyed at his breakthrough.

"Brother, you should continue meditating to stabilize your condition. I'll take you to hunt for a spirit ring tomorrow."

Wang Teng smiled and reassured him.

"well!"

Wang Sheng nodded emphatically, then closed his eyes and continued meditating, fearing that this hard-won breakthrough might be unstable.

In the courtyard, Wang Wu was covered in sweat, his clothes were soaked, but he was in surprisingly good spirits, full of energy, and his strength in drawing the bow was several times greater than usual.

"Dad, that's enough."

Wang Teng poked his head out and shouted into the courtyard.

"It's alright, but I feel like I haven't fully absorbed it yet."

Wang Wu put down his longbow, examined his body, and said with lingering interest.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Take your time if you haven't fully digested it yet, and don't overwork yourself."

Wang Teng walked over and took the longbow from his hand, stopping him from continuing to practice.

"Okay, I'll go cook for you."

Then, Wang Wu went into the kitchen and got busy.

As he started the fire, he muttered to himself, "This ginseng is really potent; I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

By the time Wang Sheng finished his meditation, Wang Wu had also prepared dinner.

A pot of stewed meat, a vegetable dish, a basket of steamed buns, and several cold dishes were laid out on the table.

On the first night Wang Teng returned home, the whole family sat together and had a lively meal.

Wang Wu kept serving food to his two sons, while Wang Sheng pulled Wang Teng aside and asked him about what had happened in the short term, what Ning Rongrong looked like, and how powerful the Title Douluo was, leaving Wang Teng both amused and exasperated.

The moon slowly rose outside the window, and laughter occasionally drifted from the courtyard, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Early the next morning, Wang Teng led his elder brother toward the Soul Hunter Forest.

"Little brother, are we in such a hurry to go?"

"Should we go to the Mercenary Guild and ask around to see which soul beasts are most active lately and which location is suitable?"

When they reached the main gate, Wang Sheng still asked a question with some uncertainty.

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng laughed heartily, patted his elder brother on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, I'm quite different now than before."

"To tell you the truth, my soul power has reached level thirty-six!"

"With my current strength, there are really not many soul beasts in the entire Soul Hunting Forest that can threaten me."

"All those preparations you mentioned for the Soul Hunt are really unnecessary now."

“Let’s go straight in, find a strong enough and suitable soul beast for you, and leave the rest to me. There’s no need for the usual stuff like asking for information or setting traps.”

Wang Teng spoke with an air of confidence.

Since absorbing his third spirit ring, he has gained a completely new understanding of his own strength.

He figured that as long as he didn't directly confront a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

Even if he encounters a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, with Wang Teng's poison attacks, as long as he is careful not to be ambushed, it is not a problem for him to escape unscathed.

Besides, this time, my brother is only hunting for his second spirit ring. At most, he will encounter a spirit beast with a thousand years of cultivation.

Wang Teng felt he could handle an opponent of this caliber with his eyes closed.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Wang Sheng nodded, but his mind was still processing the news he had just heard.

My little brother is already level 36?

This cultivation speed is simply terrifying.

So the two of them didn't linger any longer and headed south after leaving the city of Barak.

This time, they weren't going to a large place like the Star Dou Great Forest where soul beasts roamed, but rather a small Soul Hunting Forest within the territory of the Barak Kingdom.

These forests are usually fenced off and managed jointly by the Spirit Hall and local forces, mainly to provide a relatively safe hunting ground for low-level spirit masters within the kingdom.

The one they visited this time was the same; it was jointly established by the Spirit Hall and the Barak Kingdom.

Since the distance wasn't too far, the two didn't hire a carriage and simply used their soul power to travel.

After a frantic run, around noon, they finally reached the outskirts of the Soul Hunter Forest.

There is a small town on the edge of the forest, which provides supplies and resting places for Soul Masters who come to hunt for Souls.

The two found a restaurant, sat down, had a good lunch, and then took a break while the midday sun was blazing to recharge.

Around 2 p.m., when the sun had shifted slightly westward and was no longer so strong, Wang Teng got up and called to his older brother, "It's about time, let's go inside."

Upon reaching the entrance to the forest, several guards from the Spirit Hall blocked their path.

Without wasting any words, Wang Teng directly revealed the token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The guards glanced at it, their expressions changed, but they said nothing and immediately let them pass.

After walking for a while, Wang Shengcai muttered to himself, "I thought that to get into a place like the Soul Hunting Forest, you needed a Soul Hunting Certificate issued by the Spirit Hall."
