40 The Calculating GuyNot long after walking out, a series of subtitles appeared in Qi Tian's mind.
[Triggering event, defeating a Soul King-level warrior for the first time, rewarding a strengthened Deliberate Punch. ]
Strengthened Deliberate Punch: Fifty percent of the damage dealt within ten seconds is converted into additional damage from Deliberate Punch.
The more powerful the deliberate punch is, the more powerful it is, but there is also a limit. The blow will not exceed the limit that Qi Tian's body can withstand. In other words, the damage of the enemy and the damage of oneself are superimposed at the same time, which is not completely unlimited.
After all, once the power of a spirit skill exceeds one's own endurance limit, using it out would be equivalent to self-destruction.
Compared to the enhancement brought by soul skills, what Qi Tian urgently needs now is to find a way to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
Helplessly, he could only grope his way forward on his own.
…
Leo did not deal with Wendong and the other three. Vinci, with his seriously injured body, fled to the outskirts of the forest and was rescued by a group of people who were about to enter the forest.
In order to take revenge on Leo, he told almost everyone he met; soon, everyone in the Soul Beast Town knew the news about the soul bone.
For a time, many people rushed into the forest for soul bones.
But what they didn't know was that the soul bone was currently on Qi Tian; and Qi Tian followed the traces of these people and quickly found the right way.
Of course, these people had a good anti-tracking awareness, and Qi Tian didn't know how long he had been crawling before he finally walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Looking at the bustling Soul Beast Town ahead, the stone in his heart finally fell.
Fortunately, he had prepared several sets of spare clothes in his soul guide, otherwise he would probably have to run out of the forest naked.
After asking around in the town, he realized that more than two months had passed since he entered the forest.
However, there is good news. Li Youtian, the governor of Fasno Province, has issued a wanted order throughout the Tiandou Empire.
The portrait on the wanted poster was Tang Hao in a cape. When Li Youtian sent people to look for Li Dawei's carriage, those guys happened to have a conflict with Tang Hao.
Fearing that they would be charged for negligence, the group of people who were looking for the carriage resolutely portrayed Tang Hao as the murderer of Li Dawei. However, they did not expect that they would accidentally guess the identity of the real murderer.
The road from the Soul Beast Town to Tiandou City must pass through Soto City. Qi Tian was originally worried that his previous efforts would be in vain, but now it seems that Tang Hao will most likely not go to see the latter in order to prevent Tang San from being implicated.
Qi Tian found a random hotel and washed up quickly. He had no chance to take a shower in the forest, so he already stunk.
…
At the same time, in a room in the town.
A young man in elegant clothes asked, "Are you sure the soul bone is in Leo's hands?"
In front of him was Vinci, who had escaped from the forest earlier.
At the beginning, when they heard about the soul bone, many people were eager to try. But as time went by, the whereabouts of the soul bone and Leo were never discovered, and over time, most people lost interest and left the forest.
But this does not include the young man in front of him.
Vinci did not dare to hide it and said quickly: "Your Highness, when I escaped, the soul bone was indeed in Leo's hands. Leo has been a mercenary for more than ten years and must be familiar with the terrain in the forest. Perhaps he is hiding somewhere in the forest at this moment."
"Oh, yes. There was another guy named Qi Tian who entered the forest with us. This guy must be very important. Leo took good care of him along the way. If he meets Leo later, his soul bone is likely to be in his possession. It's just that the family behind him is very important."
In order to save his life, Vinci used the accurate information of the soul bone to exchange for the young man to come forward and invite a healing soul master.
If it lost its effect, the young man would probably kill him. For the sake of his own life, Vincy simply made up a reason.
The young man turned to the old man beside him and asked, "Uncle Zhang, is there a big family with the surname Qi on the mainland?"
Zhang Bo thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, there is a marquis family named Qi in the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, but their inherited martial spirit is the snow owl, not the fist martial spirit that this guy mentioned. In fact, I have never heard of a case where a body part is used as a martial spirit."
The young man's fingers kept tapping on the table, and Vincy's heart was in his throat, fearing that his lies would be exposed.
"The Haagen-Dazs Kingdom is very close to the Far North Forest and is unlikely to come to the Star Dou Great Forest. It is possible that this guy is a foreign disciple who has joined a large force, but he is definitely not a family member of Marquis Qi."
"We have been waiting in the town these days. All the guys who came out were dejected. It is unlikely that the soul bone is in their hands. Uncle Zhang, wait a little longer. If this guy wants to leave the town, we must arrest him immediately."
"If he is really a disciple of the Marquis of Qi's family, we will let him go in order to avoid conflicts between the two kingdoms. If not, and he does not have a powerful family behind him, perhaps we can take him into the royal family."
Uncle Zhang asked in confusion, "What if he refuses?"
The young man sneered and said, "It doesn't matter whether the soul bone is in his body or not. What matters is him as a person. If my Barak royal family can't get it, other forces can't get it either."
…
After leaving the hotel, Qi Tian's next stop was Soto City.
There was no other way. The official road to Tiandou City had to pass through Soto City. Taking a shortcut would not only risk getting lost, but also encountering powerful bandits would be a difficult matter.
Entering Soto City now, you might even run into Tang San. Tsk tsk, the little punk has two more great opportunities coming up, Qi Tian doesn't want the Eight Spider Lance to fall into his hands.
Before he knew it, he had reached the exit of the Soul Beast Town.
Suddenly, dozens of people rushed out from the shops on both sides and surrounded him.
"Who are you!" Qi Tian looked at these people warily.
The soul bone that countless people had fought for was now in his possession. Once it was exposed, he would be doomed.
These people didn't say anything. Soon, three figures passed by them and walked in front of Qi Tian.
One of them happened to be someone Qi Tian knew.
Vinci pointed at him and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this is Qi Tian who hunted souls with me."
The young man nodded and took a few steps forward. "You are Qi Tian, you look no older than fourteen. I didn't expect that you are already a Soul Master."
"Who are you!"
Vinci's actions just now were obviously planned for a long time.
But Qi Tian didn't know who this guy was, let alone have any grudge against him.
The young man smiled and said, "I am the eldest son of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Barak. You can call me Silin Kundera."
Kundera!
This surname is unique to the Barak royal family. Qi Tian has heard that the current king of the Barak Kingdom is the brother of Emperor Xue Ye. Because he failed in the competition for the throne, the Barak Kingdom was leaderless at the time. After Xue Ye came to power, not only did he not hold him accountable, but he gave the Barak Kingdom to him.
However, he could no longer call himself Xue and was forced to change his surname to Kundera.
