"Bang!"
The next moment, Qing Mu threw the almost drained flat-headed soul beast aside.
Although most of Qingmu's combat power is in Bulbasaur, and due to the choice of spirit rings, Qingmu's combat power is indeed not outstanding among the same level, but this does not mean that Qingmu has no combat ability.
At least with Qingmu's current level of Soul Master, it is more than enough to deal with this ordinary hundred-year-old soul beast, and he doesn't even need Bulbasaur to take action.
Soon, Qing Mu went deep into the Star Dou Great Forest again and began his leveling journey.
......
A month later, a ragged boy walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest, followed by a blue-green toad with garlic heads on its back.
The boy looked at the smoke rising from the distant town and muttered, "Finally out of the Star Dou Great Forest? I must choose a better map next time."
That's right, this ragged young man was Qing Mu who had entered the Star Dou Great Forest before.
In order to find a suitable soul beast, he and Bulbasaur went a little deeper, but because the map was inaccurate, they lost their way in the Star Dou Great Forest and it took them a long time to relocate their location.
"Sniff~"
At this time, Qing Mu smelled his body, and suddenly a sour smell rushed to his head.
"Looks like I need to go buy some clothes. This smell is a bit too strong."
Suddenly, Qing Mu slapped his forehead helplessly. He originally had a lot of clothes, but they were all used up in the battles with soul beasts in the past month. Otherwise, he would not be wearing such tattered clothes.
Fortunately, this was not a problem for Qingmu, because he not only had the two thousand gold soul coins given by his parents, but he also found some valuable items in the Star Dou Great Forest, which should be able to be exchanged for some money.
Soon, Qing Mu arrived at a hotel in the small town.
Qing Mu placed two gold soul coins on the front desk and said to the receptionist, "Get me a room with a shower and buy me a nice set of clothes. The rest is your tip."
The guy at the front desk looked at the two gold soul coins in front of him, his eyes shining, and he quickly took Qing Mu to a slightly luxurious room.
Although this room is not as good as Qingmu's own room because it is a small town, it is enough for Qingmu.
Qing Mu himself is not a particularly pretentious person, otherwise he would not have chosen to enter the Star Dou Great Forest alone to gain experience.
Staying in a place with many soul beasts for a month would not be a pleasant experience even if Qingmu had a storage soul guide.
A moment later, Qing Mu sat on the soft bed with a bath towel wrapped around him. Looking at his increasingly strong body, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Is this a blessing in disguise?"
Because they got lost, Qingmu and Bulbasaur once mistakenly entered the transition zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, and were forced to experience extremely brutal battles, and even fell into life-and-death crises many times.
But because of these hundreds of battles of varying sizes, Qing Mu's level increased rapidly. In just one month, he rose from level 32 to level 34.
More importantly, Qingmu and Bulbasaur's temperaments have undergone earth-shaking changes. The slightly lazy aura they had before has completely dissipated, and their overall temperament has become much more resolute.
Especially Bulbasaur, perhaps because he had killed too many soul beasts, his eyes were even blood red, and an extremely terrifying murderous aura lingered around him.
This state is somewhat similar to the state in the original novel when Tang San came out of the City of Slaughter. If not handled properly, it will affect people's spirit to a certain extent.
But fortunately, Qingmu is a noble himself, and with the help of Bulbasaur, his condition is far less serious than Tang San in the original work, so he does not need to undergo the so-called cleansing, he just needs to relax for a while.
"Knock, knock~~"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the receptionist came from outside the door, "Sir, the clothes you asked for are here."
Qing Mu opened the door, took the clothes, smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, no trouble. If you have any other needs, you can call me anytime!" The guy at the front desk had a smile on his face and bowed respectfully to Qing Mu.
Although he booked a room of the highest grade, it only cost five silver soul coins for a night, plus clothes costing nearly one gold soul coin. He earned five silver soul coins in tips on this trip alone.
Five silver soul coins, this is more than his monthly salary. How could he not be grateful to Qing Mu?
After the receptionist left, Qing Mu got dressed and went to a big restaurant, where he had a big meal with Bulbasaur.
This meal ultimately cost Qingmu four gold soul coins. Although this was already an annual expense for many families, Qingmu was actually considered a relatively frugal person among the nobles.
If other nobles were to come and spend the money, it would not be uncommon for a meal to cost dozens or even hundreds of gold soul coins. Sometimes, in order to host a dinner party, the top nobles could spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins in one night.
Although they all seem to be using gold soul coins, the nobles, soul masters, and civilians can be said to have two completely different economic systems.
After eating and drinking, Qing Mu came to the hotel, lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Qingmu had not rested because of the dangers all around. Most of the time he used meditation instead. Now that he was back to the place where humans lived, Qingmu naturally wanted to have a good sleep.
The next morning, Qing Mu woke up from the soft big bed and stretched.
"Ah~ This sleep was so comfortable."
After a night, Qingmu's mental fatigue had disappeared without a trace. This was the best time for Qingmu in the past month.
Arriving at the front desk, Qing Mu asked the hotel receptionist, "Is there a large fighting arena nearby?"
"Sir, are you going to the Great Soul Fighting Arena? Then I recommend you go to the nearby Soto City. It's a big city with a larger number of soul masters."
The guy at the front desk suggested to Qing Mu.
"Soto Castle, I didn't expect the nearest city to be there!"
After hearing the answer from the receptionist, Qing Mu touched his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He remembered that Soto City seemed to be where Shrek was. He might even face off against Shrek's men when he went there. He wondered if the main characters in the original novel would provide more experience.
Yes, through testing with his father Qing Tianfeng, Qing Mu has confirmed that winning a battle against a soul master will also gain experience. The only thing that needs to be verified is whether its mechanism is different from that of a soul beast.
It just so happens that during this period of rest, Qing Mu can go to Soto City to participate in the soul battle and study the mechanism of gaining experience by fighting with soul masters.
