Chapter 8: Be Modest and Cautious, and Develop Your Soul Skills
What? Fallen Soul Master!
As soon as Su Lin opened his mouth, Su Haishan and Matthew's expressions changed.
For the Spirit Hall, anything related to Fallen Soul Masters is no small matter!
"Are you serious?"
Matthew couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
On the side, Su Haishan didn't say anything, but his face was serious at this time.
As for Fallen Soul Masters, the attitude of the Spirit Hall is to fight them to the end with determination.
Of course, the Spirit Hall will not judge whether a soul master is a Fallen Soul Master based on his spirit.
Su Lin said with a serious expression: "Grandpa Matthew, although I am young, I am also a formal Soul Master, and a healing Soul Master of the auxiliary system."
"My first soul skill's healing method is related to vitality, and I've already cured a victim in the village."
"A black spot on her arm is constantly eroding and absorbing her life force. If this isn't the work of a Fallen Soul Master, what else could it be?"
Matthew was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that you are actually a support-type Soul Master!"
"But after hearing what you said, I seem to have some impression..."
He pondered for a moment, then stood up and went to the bookshelf on the right side of his desk where documents were placed, and started looking for something.
"Found it!"
Matthew held a stack of documents in his hands. "Five years ago, a servant at the City Lord's Mansion suffered the same symptoms and was drained of his life by a black spot. Unfortunately, Haishan wasn't at the temple at the time, and the people we sent weren't strong enough to seriously injure him before he escaped..."
"We issued a wanted notice, but it didn't work. Perhaps he was hiding in Thatched Village."
Su Lin couldn't help but clench his fists.
Five years ago, the timing of the sudden epidemic in Thatched Village just matched!
The Fallen Soul Master who had been severely injured and fled to Thatched Village naturally needed a large amount of life energy to heal his wounds. That epidemic...
"He was able to severely injure that Fallen Soul Master even without me? Does that mean he's really weak?"
After hearing the key information, Su Haishan's eyes seemed to light up, which was the desire for progress!
Even though he was about to retire and leave his position to his son, Su Haishan was unwilling to miss this opportunity.
When it comes to capturing or eliminating Fallen Soul Masters, the Spirit Hall has always been extremely generous and has given out generous rewards!
Who knows, this reward might help his son, who always acts like a bootlicker after women, go further on the path of becoming a Soul Master.
Being able to encounter such a weak Fallen Soul Master is simply a blessing from heaven.
"I'm going to Thatched Village. If I don't come back, please report to Zidian and ask for help. Remember to let my son take over my job!"
Su Haishan took the initiative to make the request.
"That Fallen Soul Master isn't very strong, how can it be that serious!"
Matthew sighed again as he spoke: "Speaking of your boy, he's good in every way, but he only has eyes for Sisi every day, and he's neglected his cultivation."
After saying that, he opened the drawer of his desk and took out an object that looked like a pocket watch.
"Although the technology for crafting soul guides has been lost, the headquarters has still made some discoveries from their research into ancient ruins. This pocket watch is specifically designed to hunt down Fallen Soul Masters. It can detect their presence within a certain range and indicate their direction..."
"I'm old now, and you're now our branch's top combat Soul Master. This matter really should be handled by you. Take this soul guide with you."
Perhaps because of his achievements, Su Haishan is quite decisive.
He only brought a few Soul Masters with considerable combat experience and headed directly to Thatched Village.
In fact, because he was carrying a soul guide that could track breath, he even threw Su Lin aside.
"Little Su Lin, you won't be able to help much if you follow them. Why don't you stay in the Spirit Hall and wait for news?"
Matthew's voice was kind as he gently advised, not wanting such an alternative "genius" to take risks.
Indeed.
The Spirit Hall is professional in dealing with Fallen Soul Masters. It even has soul guides that are specifically designed to lock onto the aura of Fallen Soul Masters.
Su Lin is only a one-ring Soul Master, and his soul skills can only be used for healing at present, and he has no combat ability.
If he must participate, it would only cause more trouble, and Su Haishan might even have to be distracted to protect him.
Although he was a little worried about the safety of the village, Su Lin still restrained himself.
The only thing he can do now is to believe in the Spirit Hall!
With the Blue Silver Grass, a generally recognized useless spirit, and a level 1 innate soul power, he cultivated to level 10 at the age of eight and a half. Even Matthew and Su Haishan were shocked beyond words. Su Lin couldn't help but feel a little proud.
But the feeling of powerlessness at this moment has made him cautious and alert again.
"I need to grow faster, and I also need to find a way to develop combat-type soul skills..."
Su Lin has realized his shortcomings.
Choosing Blue Silver Grass as his soul ring did indeed replenish the essence of his spirit, and even provided him with the divine skill of Life Sharing, allowing him to continue on the path of a Soul Master.
But this also means that he can only be regarded as an auxiliary Soul Master at present and has no combat ability.
"Blue Silver Grass can be used as a support, but its combat capabilities are also not weak!"
"The replenishment of the essence has already enhanced the resilience of the Blue Silver Grass. Even without the poison, if it can be precisely controlled, it can be used to restrain the enemy..."
Since the soul skills brought by the soul ring cannot be used in combat, then create your own soul skills! Su Lin began to think about the development direction of the Blue Silver Grass's soul skills.
However, even though he had experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life and had many creative ideas, he could only have some clues, and it was not enough to talk about specific development.
"Grandpa Matthew, can I read the books in the Spirit Hall?"
Su Lin plans to brush up on his knowledge of soul skill development.
Even if this is just a branch hall of the Spirit, he thinks there should be relevant collections of books.
"Hehe, of course you can. The higher-level Spirit Hall may have more rules, but the books in our Spirit Halls are open to all Soul Masters."
Matthew chuckled and nodded. "The library is on the first floor. Just go to the lobby and ask for directions."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Su Lin thanked him politely and immediately rushed out the door.
That anxious look also made Matthew smile knowingly.
For some reason, even though he knew Su Lin only had level 1 innate soul power, he still had a feeling in his heart...
Perhaps, this child can really create a miracle and embark on a different path as a Soul Master!
There are no useless spirits, only useless Soul Masters!
Matthew suddenly thought of this sentence.
However, the person who said this was ultimately unable to do it!
Not only has he remained at the Great Soul Master level, but he's also currently eating and drinking for free at Notting Academy...
