Chapter 4: The desire to kill in one's eyes cannot be hidden; the Fallen One

Chapter 4: The desire to kill in one's eyes cannot be hidden; the Fallen One

The fight on the back hill ended with the arrival of the teacher.

As high-achieving students from aristocratic families, nothing much happened to them.

As the one who instigated this incident, Xiao Wu, being a woman, was not pursued further.

Tang San was the one who got beaten up, and since he was also Grandmaster's disciple, he wasn't responsible.

Finally, the work-study students who watched the whole process received a major demerit.

The college's announcement stated that: the work-study students in a certain dormitory lacked motivation and got into a fight with senior students. Students such as [name omitted] were given major demerits, and their monthly scholarships were deducted to compensate Tang San for the losses he suffered.

After this announcement was released

Inside the dormitory, Tang San, who was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries, felt the increasingly unfriendly gazes around him and inexplicably felt ashamed.

Of course, this isn't the worst of it.

To make matters worse, after Xiao Wu returned, she lay down next to him and said, "Xiao San, look how amazing Xiao Wu is! The academy wasn't originally going to give you compensation, but Xiao Wu persuaded the academy leaders to agree to give you compensation after much pleading."

That night, the injured Tang San didn't even dare to close his eyes to sleep.

She was afraid that one of the work-study students in the dormitory, who had lost a month's stipend, might accidentally injure him while stabbing Xiao Wu. (Work-study student: It was just a side effect.)

Tang San: I regret sharing a bed with Xiao Wu.

……

As a freshman,

Bai Ran felt very bored staying in these lower grades.

Every day, all I need to do is study some academic subjects and learn some basic knowledge about spirit beasts.

As for practical training? This course is not offered to lower grades.

It is said that children under nine years old are in the period of physical growth, and that carrying out combat training will affect their development.

Well, the reality is that the primary Soul Master Academy lacks qualified teachers.

Some junior Soul Master academies don't even offer practical combat training courses.

After all, real combat training is no joke. It requires a combat or control-type Soul Master instructor who is at least 20 levels higher than the trainees to intercept Soul Skills that could cause serious casualties.

In addition, there needs to be a healing-type Soul Master whose level is more than ten levels higher than the student, so that timely treatment can be provided even if an accident occurs.

Perhaps life at the academy was just too boring.

It was only the weekend, and Bai Ran rushed home to find her father, who was also on vacation.

"Old Deng, Old Deng, take me out to play."

Entering the bedroom, I saw Comrade Bai Liang taking a nap.

Bai Ran quickly stepped forward and pinched Lao Bai's nose.

"Uh, uh~"

I felt a little uncomfortable while sleeping, and Bai Liang also woke up.

However, upon seeing that it was white, his face immediately darkened.

"Little Bitden, why aren't you studying properly at school? What are you doing running home?"

To be honest, ever since Bai Ran went to study at the beginner level of Soul Master, Comrade Bai Liang feels that he sleeps much more soundly.

"What do you say, Old Braden?"

I bet you skipped class.

As Bai Liang spoke, he began to unbuckle his belt.

"Today is a holiday."

"oh."

Bai Liang withdrew a belt.

Of course, most of the time it was just for show; from childhood to adulthood, Lao Bai had almost never hit this kid.

As for why the speech was so uncivilized?

Well, Bai Liang used to be a veteran of the battlefield, so it's normal for him to speak a little rudely.

"It's great to have a holiday, but you can stay on campus during the holiday and get to know your classmates better."

"The students are on holiday too."

Apart from the students who were working and studying in villages, almost all the other trainees went home.

"Alright, go out and have fun by yourself. If you run out of soul coins, just take them from the clothes I left on the table."

As Bai Liang spoke, he lay back down on the bed.

It's such a rare holiday, I definitely need to get a good night's sleep.

"Dad, have you forgotten something?"

"What is it?"

Bai Liang's heart skipped a beat.

When this little guy calls him "Dad," it's usually not a good thing.

"Take me to hunt for spirit rings."

"Your soul power has reached level ten!"

"Is it possible that your son is born with full soul power?"

"Oh right, you were born with full soul power, so why didn't I take you with me to hunt for soul rings back then?"

"I don't know."

How could Bai Ran know what her father was thinking?

Bai Liang: Oh, I remember now. I was originally planning to take this unlucky kid to get a spirit ring, but he told me he wanted a stepmother, which scared me so much that I immediately went to apply for the junior spirit master academy's admission qualification and sent him to the academy.

"Hey, I'll take you out tonight and get you a spirit ring." (Bai Ran: I don't want a hundred-year-old one.)

"Can't we go now?"

"I worked the night shift last night. I'm going to get some sleep. Wake me up at four in the afternoon."

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them, one adult and one child, boarded the carriage and set off.

"Old Deng, are we heading to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"The Star Dou Great Forest? That's a terrifying place that not even a single knightly order of the Empire dares to enter. You don't want to live, but your old man does."

"So, where are we going?"

"The Soul Hunting Forest is full of soul beasts raised by the empire, the highest level of which is only a thousand-year-old soul beast."

……

The carriage only traveled for four hours before stopping at the next small town.

"Old Bai, have we arrived?"

"That's for sure. It's not even close. The nearest Soul Hunting Forest to Notting City is nearly 300 kilometers away."

If we were to convert that to the time it takes to travel by horse-drawn carriage, it would take a full day and night.

"Then why are we coming down here?"

I had already eaten before boarding the train, and just to be on the safe side, I also brought some biscuits as dry rations.

"Of course we should find a place to sleep here. Otherwise, if we really sit in the carriage for a whole day and night, your old man will be fine, but it's hard to say what will happen to you."

Bai Liang: You want me to ride in a carriage for more than ten hours? You'll probably be covering your bottom and cursing the driver for not knowing how to drive.

"Then I want to stay in the best hotel."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask the hotel to give you another double room."

……

"Hey, Old Deng, don't you think this street is a bit deserted?"

It's only 9 p.m., and even if the residents of this small town don't have a nightlife, they shouldn't be closing their doors so early.

"It is indeed a bit deserted."

Upon entering the small town, Bai Liang immediately sensed something was amiss.

It's important to know that this small town is a necessary stop on the way to the Soul Hunter Forest.

No matter what, you wouldn't close the doors and windows as soon as night falls, would you?

So, what exactly happened?

Bai Liang only learned about this problem from the receptionist when the two entered a hotel that was open for business.

It turns out that a fallen person appeared in the city last month.

This person's methods were extremely cruel, and so far, many people have been killed.

"Didn't the Empire send anyone to suppress it?"

"Oh dear, the Empire doesn't care about these things. When corrupt individuals appear, it's always the Spirit Hall that sends people to wipe them out."

"What about the people from the Spirit Hall?"

"The people from the Spirit Hall branch are unable to handle this kind of thing, and the spirit masters sent by the Spirit Hall sub-branch have also been killed."

"If even the purple-robed steward of the Martial Soul Hall couldn't handle it, doesn't that mean the Fallen One is at least a Soul Master with a Soul Power level of 40 or higher?"

"With such a degenerate person around, aren't you afraid in your daily lives?"

"Be scared? What's there to be scared of? That fallen one only targets women. You're a grown man, bro, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Targeting only women? Is this depraved person a lustful monster?"

Comrade Bai Liang, a former knight of the Empire, could not stand by and watch such depraved individuals persecute female comrades.

"No, that's not true. This Fallen One is quite strange."

For example, last week, Old Wang's wife, Zhao, ran off with all the family's money and her infant child, intending to go and seek refuge with her lover.

Then the next day, he was found drowned in the river. The child returned home, but he was missing one silver soul coin.

Bai Liang: Ah, the Spirit Hall defines such people as Fallen Ones? What a load of bull from the Spirit Hall.
