Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Bending the Bow and Shooting the Shuttle

  "Do you know me?"

  "Of course not."

  Lin Yan shook his head, but his eyes were bright.

  Having read the original novel, he knew Flanders. He

  had spent his entire life as a lapdog for his beloved Liu Erlong. He was a close friend to his rival, even going so far as to bring him and his beloved together.

  It had to be said that this man was a "Wolf Mine."

  Compared to these things, Lin Yan was actually concerned with Flanders's identity.

  After all, Flanders wasn't just a clown. Lin Yan hadn't forgotten that the original novel also stated that he was a formidable force, a Level 78 Soul Sage.

  "A Soul Sage-level powerhouse! Today I finally get to meet him in person."

  Lin Yan rubbed his hands excitedly.

  After all, in the past thousand years, Lin Yan had come into contact with many Soul Masters, but never one as powerful as this one!

  Calling him 'the strongest' wouldn't be an exaggeration.

  Fortunately, Flanders didn't know Lin Yan's evaluation of him. Otherwise, he would have been mortified to death.

  "You, what are you doing?"

  Flanders was stunned by Lin Yan's actions.

  But at that moment, a voice echoed in his mind.

  "Don't worry, boy. Have you forgotten what I said? My master is practicing a strange cultivation. He's treating himself like an ordinary person without soul power. So, you have to cooperate, understand?"

  Ugh. What a bizarre hobby!

  Flanders was stunned. If he were in another place, encountering such strange people and things, he would definitely teach them the truth of cruelty!

  But,

  in this situation, he obviously didn't dare to question it.

  "I understand. I understand,"

  he hurriedly replied in his mind.

  And then, nothing else happened.

  "Huh, this first hurdle is over."

  Flanders glanced calmly at the terrifying three-headed hellhound and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  He felt that if he had hesitated just now, he might have died inexplicably.

  At this moment, Lin Yan also came to Flanders' side and said eagerly, "Dean Flanders, my name is Lin Yan, nice to meet you."

  Actually, I don't want to see you. Flanders gave a forced smile. "Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Lin Yan."

  But now, his body was charred black, his teeth looking especially white.

  He looked like an emoji.

  "But meeting is fate. Why don't you come to my house?"

  Lin Yan invited.

  In his previous life, he'd read plenty of Douluo fanfiction, usually starting with a protagonist or supporting character, then using that opportunity to lick Tang San's ass, ascending to the pinnacle of life.

  But Lin Yan was different.

  Used to being a lazy fish, he had no desire to be a lapdog or a babysitter.

  After all, wouldn't it be nice to stand tall and be a decent human being?

  He invited Flender simply because he found the big owl amusing.

  That's all!

  Could

  I refuse?

  Of course not!

  Flender glanced at the Scarlet King imperceptibly. He gritted his teeth and replied.

  "Okay."

  He felt bitter, but life and death were determined by fate, and he had to go through the hurdles.

  "Really?"

  Lin Yan was delighted, but also a little surprised.

  He didn't expect that the soul masters in this world were so easy to talk to. They were so kind!

  Then, Lin Yan said happily: "Then Dean, come with me. However, we have to go collect some ingredients first." When

  guests come to your home, you can't eat too lightly. Since no prey was caught, let's eat something else.

  "There is a lake not far away with very good fish."

  Lin Yan called out and led the way.

  Flanders followed Lin Yan closely.

  But.

  Did we go in the wrong direction?

  That is deep in the Star Dou Great Forest.

  Flanders wanted to stop Lin Yan and ask clearly.

  However.

  After seeing Dahei's cold eyes, he swallowed back the words on his lips.

  But the more he walked, the more panicked Flanders became. That fleeting figure, is it the Silver Moon Wolf King?

  It is said that it is a soul beast that is almost 100,000 years old.

  Uh. That spiderweb between the two tall trees up ahead, was it woven by the human-faced Black Widow?

  Wow, it's such a pitch-black color, and a fucking matte black.

  To be able to lay such a poisonous web, it must have taken at least ninety thousand years of cultivation.

  Wait, are those two ancient trees the Man-Ogre Trees?

  With a diameter of nearly seven meters, doesn't that mean they're two seventy-thousand-year-old plant-type soul beasts?

  These two trees can easily take me down

  ! This place is truly terrifying.

  Flanders swallowed subconsciously. "Oh my god. I want to go home. "

  His calves were already trembling uncontrollably.

  He was confident that he wouldn't be able to handle any of the soul beasts he encountered along the way.

  "You're such a coward. But don't worry, as long as you don't anger the master, you'll be fine."

  Suddenly, Dahei's voice appeared in Flanders' mind.

  Although Dahei's words were extremely insulting, they reassured Flanders and brought his attention back to Lin Yan.

  He secretly speculated, "What exactly is Lin Yan's identity? Hmm... I think this thing is definitely a terrifying, transformed beast!"

  After a while, Lin Yan stopped.

  "Dean Flender, we're here."

  "Arrived? So soon?"

  Flender was stunned at first, realizing he was on a high ground.

  Looking up, he was stunned by the scene before him.

  The azure blue lake, like a flawless, magnificent gem set into the earth.

  "What a beautiful lake,"

  he murmured, then a new possibility occurred to him. He blurted it out. "Could this be the legendary habitat of the Azure Bull Python?"

  "Azure Bull Python? Does it really exist?"

  Lin Yan was stunned. He remembered such a terrifying creature from the original novel.

  However, in all his years living in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had never witnessed the terror of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. He

  had never even seen a soul beast.

  Thinking of this, Lin Yan felt particularly miserable.

  "Of course it exists,"

  Flender said, intending to share his information with the "ferocious beast" before him. He

  was only halfway through his words when

  he stopped abruptly. A cool breeze blew past his ears,

  originating from the lake.

  Looking in the direction of the wind, he saw a large blue fish leaping from the water.

  "It's a flying shuttle!"

  Flanders' face changed.

  The flying shuttle was the name of this fish-like soul beast. While the name was a bit strange, its power was immense.

  And don't be fooled by the fact that the flying shuttle leaping across the lake was only a little over

  two meters long. It took twenty thousand years of cultivation to grow and cultivate!

  Most importantly, the soul beast's strength was disproportionate to its size. Even with only twenty thousand years of cultivation, Flanders wouldn't have been able to easily handle it in the water.

  This soul beast's greatest characteristic was its immense speed; otherwise, it wouldn't be described as flying.

  And beyond that speed

  , its hardness was so strong it could easily penetrate even steel.

  A Soul Saint's full-strength attack was enough to severely injure it, but only if it could hit.

  However,

  Flanders witnessed an unexpected scene.

  What was Lin Yan doing?

  Drawing his bow and arrow to shoot the flying shuttle?

  Hilarious!

  If you were a soul master using your own soul skills, I would believe it. But you are going to kill this soul beast with the routine of an ordinary person?

  What kind of brain circuit can do such a thing?

  Are you living in a dream?

  No, such a scene would never appear in dreams.

  But the next moment, Flanders's ridicule stopped abruptly.

  I saw a scene that I will never forget.
