On the road, the Master continued to impart knowledge about Soul Masters and Soul Beasts to the siblings.
Four hundred li, not long yet not short, it wasn't until noon the next day that they arrived at their destination, the Hunting Soul Forest.
Tang Sui, with only a pitiful 89 points of spirit remaining after being jostled by the carriage, looked exhausted. Her legs felt weak and unsteady as she stepped off the carriage.
If Tang San hadn't been constantly transferring inner force to her along the way, and if the moonlight last night hadn't been so good, her remaining spirit wouldn't be just this much; she would have already hit zero and given up.
Looking at her own unreliable body, Tang Sui buried her small head into her brother's equally thin but strong back, silently sulking.
She was supposed to be the support, but she ended up being a burden. She needed her brother to carry her to walk, how could this be QAQ
The three of them bought the "equipment" they needed from the shops set up on the outskirts of the Hunting Soul Forest, which took about half an hour.
Without the jolting of the carriage, Tang Sui's spirits visibly improved, and her spiritual power recovered to 102.
After purchasing the necessary items, the Master led the siblings to the entrance of the Hunting Soul Forest.
The captain of the guards responsible for checking passes, upon seeing the three glowing marks on the token handed over by the Master, immediately showed a look of respect. He hastily ordered his soldiers to clear a path and allow the master and his disciples to enter, without even questioning why such young children as Tang Sui and Tang San also needed to enter the Hunting Soul Forest.
After entering the heavily guarded Hunting Soul Forest, Tang Sui, who was being held by the Master's left hand, turned her head to look at the respectful and well-trained soldiers. An indescribable feeling welled up within her.
This was a world where strength determined one's standing.
The world wouldn't show her any mercy or give her a way out just because of her frailty. Everything depended solely on one's own strength.
A faint ripple spread across Tang Sui's dark, lustrous eyes. Her demonic power began to stir, and her soul power, which had been stuck at the bottleneck of level 18, surged violently, breaking through the confining barrier and officially entering the ranks of level 19 Soul Masters.
Tang Sui, who had been feeling a bit listless, instantly felt her spirit power soar. Her entire being was like a withered branch that had regained its vitality, straightening up. Even her physical appearance began to change.

Tang Sui: "......"
Very good. Although she had leveled up, it was still the familiar mockery, the familiar weakness.
However...
Tang Sui's gaze fell on the equipment section, and the description for the amethyst jade bracelet made her expression momentarily strange, then her small face froze.
No way? It couldn't be what she was thinking, could it?
"Sui Sui?"
The tug on her left hand made the Master lower his head and look at Tang Sui, who had inexplicably stopped.
Tang Sui snapped back to reality and met the confused gazes of the two figures, one big and one small. A guiltless smile bloomed on her still slightly pale little face.
Whether it was Tang San's imagination or not, he felt that beneath her well-behaved and adorable smile, his sister seemed to be hiding a hint of... revenge?
"Teacher, my soul power just broke through level 18, I'm level 19 now!"
The Master and Tang San were stunned. After reacting, both their faces showed shock, and they stared blankly at the sweet-smiling Tang Sui.
