Chapter 6 The soul leaves the body
More than 400 miles away from Nottingham City, the Soul Hunting Forest.

It took Luo Ling five days to get here. Before going to Tiandou City, he wanted to add soul rings to his second martial soul, the Soul of Desire.

In the Emperor Soul Village, Luo Ling did not wait for Xiao Wu to wake up, but left directly after paying homage to the old village chief.

After all, Xiao Wu is just an insignificant person to Luo Ling, so planting the psychological hint is enough.

He would not waste too much time on Xiao Wu. She was just a hundred thousand year old transformed soul beast. If Xiao Wu still followed the original story and got together with Tang San, he would just kill her.

In the past, when his martial soul was a scarecrow, Luo Ling might not have had much confidence. But now that he has awakened for the second time and possesses two powerful martial souls, plus he knows the plot inside and out, Luo Ling is confident that he can defeat Yu Xiaogang and Tang San!

Arriving at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest and looking at the gathering place in front of him, Luo Ling easily found an inn and stayed there.

He had just been here not long ago under the leadership of the Dean of Studies at Nottingham College.

"We have a warrant. We need to form a team to hunt down agile spirit beasts. We are still short of three people!"

"Hunting plant-type soul beasts, seven people waiting for the warrant, ten gold soul coins!"

Not far away, various shouts could be heard one after another, mostly from groups hunting soul beasts.

The warrant is issued by the Spirit Hall to soul masters who need to advance. Only those with the warrant can enter the Soul Hunting Forest.

Luo Ling did not have a warrant, but he did not plan to follow the group into the Soul Hunting Forest.

To join the group one needs proof from the Spirit Hall, which Luo Ling does not have, and he does not want to expose his spirit either.

"Wait until night and sneak in." Luo Ling glanced at the guards at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.

The Soul Hunting Forest is very large, and it is impossible for there to be guarded everywhere. We just need to find the places where there is negligence!

"We can explore it a little bit first..."

With an evil arc on the corner of his mouth, Luo Ling retracted his gaze, closed the window of the room, and then sat on the bed.

A strange red light emanated from his eyes, and the next second, Luo Ling felt his body lighten.

He saw himself sitting upright on the bed.

“Is this the soul-leaving of the soul of desire?”

Looking at his illusory figure floating in the air, Luo Ling flew around the room for a while with great interest. He found that when his soul was out of his body, his body could pass through entities freely.

The illusory spirit passed through the wooden wall and Luo Ling came to the next room.

I saw a burly man counting the coins in his bag.

Luo Ling floated in front of the man for a long time. No matter what he did, the man seemed to be unable to see it.

"He can't see me because my soul is out of body." Luo Ling nodded, and then his entire body merged into the man's body.

Possession is a skill that the Soul of Desire possesses when it is in an out-of-body state.

As she gradually merged into the man's body, Luo Ling seemed to feel that her sense of touch had recovered a little.

While Luo Ling was still experimenting with his martial spirit, the man counting money on the bed suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and then he discovered that his hands were out of his control!
Under the man's horrified gaze, his body spontaneously stood up from the bed and walked to the mirror beside him.

In the mirror, the man had a strange expression. Suddenly, a red light seemed to flash in the man's eyes, and a silver-haired black shadow wrapped around the man like a ghost.

"Ah!" With a terrified scream, the man collapsed to the ground.

This lasted for several seconds, and when the man felt his body returning to normal, he frantically picked up the purse on the bed and rushed out of the room without looking back.

In the room, Luo Ling's spirit floated in the air, looking at the direction the man escaped.

"Soul possession can temporarily control another person's body. The duration depends on the mental strength of both parties. This is quite reasonable."

"But..." Luo Ling turned his gaze to the mirror beside him, in which a silver-haired ghost-like figure was reflected.

"I didn't expect that a mirror could actually reflect a soul that has left its body. It's really..."

Shaking his head helplessly, Luo Ling couldn't help but think of the horror movies he had watched in his previous life.

How did those directors come up with the idea that mirrors can see ghosts?
...Outside the inn, Luo Ling floated out quietly.

After making sure that no one could see him, Luo Ling began to explore the boundaries of the Soul Hunting Forest with confidence.

No one in the crowd expected that a ghost would slowly float past them.

Luo Ling also didn't expect that in another inn not far away, a pair of eyes were staring at him curiously.

"It's interesting."

In a private room of the inn not far away, at a table by the window, a flamboyant-looking blond man was looking at the crowd below with great interest.

This blond man was none other than the Spirit Hall elder who accompanied Bibidong to Notting City, Ju Douluo, Yue Guan!

"Elder Ju, what's wrong?" Bibi Dong on the other side raised her head and looked at Ju Douluo in confusion.

"Your Holiness, look there!" Ju Douluo pointed outside the window.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong stuck her head out, and when she saw a figure floating in the crowd, she was stunned.

"That is?"

"It should be some kind of special martial spirit." Ju Douluo replied with a smile.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?" Hu Liena on the side also came to the window curiously.

But looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, she saw nothing.

"He looks about seven or eight years old, and his spirit power is at the level of a spirit master."

"It's a bit like the almost extinct spiritual soul beast Nightmare. It's in the form of a spirit. Looking at its concealment, even a level 40 soul master would find it difficult to see through it if it's not a spiritual soul beast."

"Your Holiness, this is a talent. If he grows up, his ability to conceal and assassinate may be even better than that of the old ghost!"

Ju Douluo's gaze stayed on the "ghost" in the crowd, and his enormous mental power had already explored Luo Ling's spirit body completely.

"Ghost Elder, what do you think?" Bibi Dong looked at Ghost Douluo who had been silent in the corner.

"Strong concealment ability!" Ghost Douluo's answer was concise.

"Then please trouble Elder Ghost to keep an eye on this kid and we will observe him first." Bibi Dong nodded and looked at Luo Ling in the crowd with great interest.

The Spirit Hall has always liked to recruit spirit masters with powerful spirits. If they can recruit one, it is naturally a good thing. If they cannot, then they will be destroyed.

This is a rule that has been established by the previous pope.

"Teacher! What are you talking about?" Hu Liena looked confused.

"See a funny little fellow who might become your companion."

"What?" Hu Liena was stunned for a moment.

……

In the crowd, Luo Ling suddenly shuddered all over.

Ghosts also feel cold? The weather isn't cold now... Luo Ling stopped, feeling a little uncomfortable all over. He looked around but found nothing.

Shaking his head, Luo Ling continued to move forward. A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the edge of the gathering place.

The edges are blocked by iron nets that are nearly ten meters high, but compared to the seven or eight guards at the entrance, there is only one person every thousand meters here.

"Looks like this is it." Luo Ling nodded with satisfaction.

There aren't many guards in places like the Soul Hunting Forest where there are only low-level soul beasts. All we have to do now is wait until dark.

Thinking of this, Luo Ling no longer stopped, floating in the air, floating towards the inn where he was staying.

He didn't notice at all that in the corner, a dark shadow was quietly watching him.
