Chapter 8 Three months, ready to go
"Life is between heaven and earth; just like the passing of a white horse, it is all sudden." - "Zhuangzi Zhibei Journey"
——————————
Time flies very fast, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Wu Tong was repeating the four-to-one routine of dormitories, classrooms, libraries, and canteens, and occasionally going out to collect his share of the stall, time slipped away quietly.
In these three months, a lot of things happened.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had already obtained soul rings in the first month and became first-level soul masters.
Of course, Wu Tong also heard about the conflict in the cafeteria and the fight at the back of the mountain, but he did not participate in it. After all, with Wu Tong's regular schedule, it was difficult to have free time to do unnecessary things, and he did not want to participate in such boredom. in the matter.
Now, Xiao Wu has become the eldest sister of the entire academy, and Tang San has also begun the urgent life of studying, blacksmithing, and training.
There is still no clue about the information about the golden fox that Wu Tong needs.
However, two firearms have indeed been built.
M500 revolver.
Known as the most powerful pistol in the world, it is also very famous in the pistol world, and its fame comes from its large caliber. The muzzle is 0.50 inch caliber, which is 12.7 mm, and it fires 50 Magnum with great power. Pistol ammunition, because the bullets are too large, the general revolver chamber can hold six rounds, but this gun can only hold five rounds!
Each bullet is made by Wu Tong himself, who prepares gunpowder, polishes and stamps it. Since it is made manually, the output is not high. Only 5,000 bullets were produced in three months. However, each bullet can be directly fired. Kill a fifth-ring soul king, injure a sixth-ring soul emperor, and even severely damage an eighth-ring soul king in a sneak attack.
After all, the kinetic energy of the bullet fired by the M500 revolver is twice that of the famous .50-caliber "Desert Eagle"! It has reached the kinetic energy of a powerful rifle bullet! The killing power can be described as scary, and calling it a "hand cannon" is not an exaggeration at all.
But once a Titled Douluo reaches the ninth ring, this gun cannot deal with it. After all, every Titled Douluo can be said to be a superman. Low-level soul masters can't catch their movement skills at all, let alone lock on the attack.
"Huh, it's been three months, so it should be almost there. After all, the Soul Hunting Forest is only that big, so we should be able to find it through a blanket search."
In a mountain forest outside Notting City, Wu Tong stood in the middle of a messy grove, surrounded by trees broken and penetrated by bullets, and there were some potholes and bottle fragments on the ground.
Wu Tong put the guns filled with gunpowder smoke back into the holsters on his legs, his eyes dull and muttering to himself.
After all, in the past three months, Wu Tong has taken some time to practice his marksmanship every day. With the help of the terrifying calculation power of the martial arts brain, Wu Tong has been able to accurately shoot the wings of flies lingering on branches a hundred meters away. , without harming the fly itself. The scene in front of him is just a small training conducted by Wu Tong in order to maintain the accuracy of his shooting. But the bullets wasted in this process really made him feel a little pain.
After all, after purchasing the supplies, he only had a few thousand gold soul coins left on him, which still needed to be used to hire a senior soul hunting team. Wu Tong was really in a state of despair now.
After cleaning up, Wu Tong returned to Notting College. I was about to go to the stronghold to inquire about the soul beast. Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the gate of the academy, a man in black walked towards me.
"You are little brother Wu Tong, right? There is news about the soul beast you entrusted us to find. Traces of the Heart-Eyed Golden Fox have appeared in the east of the Soul Hunting Forest. This is a rough map. If you want to hunt for souls, you should go as soon as possible. After all, it may not be in that place after a while.”
The man in black handed a map directly to Wu Tong, then turned and left.
Wu Tong glanced at the map, endured the ecstasy in his heart, thanked the man in black, and then put it away. He set off for action again, but the direction he headed towards became the principal's office.
Dong dong dong...
There was a knock on the door, and Principal Charles inside the door was confused as to why someone was still looking for him during the holiday.
"Come in."
After hearing Principal Charles's permission, Wu Tong opened the office door and walked in.
"Principal Charles, I am Wu Tong, a first-year student who just enrolled this year. I would like to ask for a leave from you to prepare to hunt the soul beast."
After Wu Tong entered the door, he didn't say much nonsense, but went straight to the point.
"Huh? Wu Tong, is it you? You are finally ready to obtain the soul ring. I agree and will approve your leave immediately. Do you need a tutor from the school to take you with you for this soul hunt?"
Charles adjusted his glasses and looked at Wu Tong, who was much stronger than when he entered school. He was relieved. Although he only had a useless martial soul, he was one of the only three geniuses in the school who was born with full soul power.
Charles has also been paying attention to Wu Tong. When he saw that he did not hunt for soul rings for three months, he was instead exercising, reading, and wasting his talents. He also hated that iron cannot become steel. After all, in Douluo Continent, the strong are respected, and the powerful Force is what people in this world value.
Wu Tong came to him today to ask for leave, and Charles was very pleased. After all, although Wu Tong is just a useless martial soul, it is the simplest wish of a teacher to hope that his students will grow up and become outstanding, so Charles is prepared to do his best to help Wu Tong.
"Principal Charles, no need. I still have some savings. I didn't make any mistakes with my first soul ring, so I plan to recruit a soul hunting team to help me hunt for souls this time. After all, they are more familiar with the soul hunting forest."
Wu Tong directly rejected Charles' proposal. He once thought about asking school teachers to help him hunt for souls, but after thinking carefully, he decided to hire a soul hunting team.
The reason is very simple. First of all, the school teachers’ understanding of the soul hunting forest is definitely not as detailed as that of the professional soul hunting team. Secondly, the location of the Heart Eye Golden Fox that Wu Tong needs is located deep in the Soul Hunting Forest. Most of these teachers are great soul masters or soul masters, and they do not have the ability to lead Wu Tong deep into the Soul Hunting Forest. Finally, Wu Tong didn't want to reveal some of his secrets, so Wu Tong didn't want to go with people he knew well.
On the contrary, it was a soul hunting team that not only had extremely rich hunting experience, but also had very high cultivation methods. Wu Tong didn't want to make any mistakes. After all, if he failed this time, he didn't know what to expect if he found the Golden Fox next time. when. So in order to end it once and for all, Wu Tong is going to spend thousands of gold soul coins to hire a soul hunting team at the soul king level to ensure the success rate of this soul hunting.
A few thousand gold soul coins is not a small amount. Although Wu Tong earned tens of thousands of gold soul coins in just three months, this was just because his business was so popular and there were so many people buying it.
After all, even the Soul Saint teachers of Shrek Academy would worry about tens of thousands of gold soul coins. It can be seen that the purchasing power of gold soul coins in Douluo Continent is still very strong.
"Well, you have always been a stable child. I believe you have your own judgment, and the soul hunting team is indeed more professional. Then I won't say more. I wish you can successfully obtain the soul ring and become a Soul Master."
After hearing Wu Tong's reasons, Charles thought for a while, and then said with relief.
Wu Tong listened to Charles' words and bowed: "Don't worry, Principal Charles, I will definitely succeed."
Then he took the leave note approved by Charles and left the principal's office.
