CHAPTER 21 MERCENARY MISSION

Haima city 

Huang Yong's residence training ground

[SECOND SOUL SKILL - TIMBER STRIKE]

Bang…crack...

The attack landed on the stone ground and cracked the ground a little.

[Hook]

Huang Yong who had dogged the attack gave Yao Tian and sent him flying.

"You destroyed my training ground again who will pay for this."

"Cough huff you have gotten stronger again and stop that stinky act of yours have I not rejected the wage you promised me, you should use it to get yourself a stronger house."

Yao Tian said to Huang Yong while catching his breath and dark face.

"Hehe."

"Xiao Feng bring a cold towel and some water for Yao Tian."

"Yes, boss."

Xiao Feng came with two towels and two gourds of water and gave them one each.

"Is this water mixed with recovery medicines."

Yao Tian asked as he took a sip from the gourd.

"You are indeed someone with the surname Yao, what you drank just now was a tasteless medicine mixture I created using some recovery herbs."

"When are you planning to get your third soul ring?"

Yes, Yao Tian had reached level 30 in this one-month training period.

"I plan to wait for a few more months, and do a few more mercenary missions to get enough gold to invite a few other soul masters to help me hunt down a thousand years soul beasts."

"Don't you have some sect or family behind you?"

"No, but how did you come to this conclusion?"

"Your first soul ring is a hundred years old and it's close to impossible for a lone wanderer to kill and absorb a hundred-year-old soul beast."

"If you don't mind me asking how did you get a first hundred-year soul ring."

Getting a martial soul awakened by luck was one thing but inviting a soul master to hunt a soul beast is a completely different luxury civilians can't afford.

"My father was a doctor and had great knowledge in the field of medicine, he once saved the life of a soul master's wife during her childbirth."

"That soul master owned my father a favour and promised to do one thing for my father."

"After finding out that I was born with the talent of becoming a soul master he asked that soul master to help me hunt my soul ring."

Yao Tian said with a sad face and Huang Yong didn't ask more as he understood there must be some sad memories attached to it.

"Where is your father right now."

Xiao Feng asked from the side.

"He was killed as he was not able to save a noble's life."

Yao Tian looked at him with a face full of anger

'Interesting.'

Huang Yong thought while looking at the corner of his eyes

"SYSTEM WARNING"

"Ok leave this matter."

"Yao Tian tell me more about the mercenary mission you are talking about."

"Black fist you are new in the city so you don't know, there is a mercenary building in this city specially made for soul masters where you could get missions and after finishing get the reward with came with the mission."

"They have three types of missions, 

Bronze - One must be at least a one-ringed soul master to take this mission.

Silver - Only great soul masters are allowed to take on these missions.

Gold - You need to be above level 30 to take this mission and you must have a group with two great soul masters.

Recently there has been news that a gold-level mission is going to be posted on the mercenary board and I want to take that mission."

"Will they allow a level 30 two-ringed soul master to take the mission?"

"I have a soul venerable(someone with soul power level between 31-40) friend who should be interested, he lives in a village nearby I'll go and try to convince him."

"What I want to know is if you black fist are willing to form a party with me and my friend to take on this mission?"

"I don't mind earning some extra money."

"Ok, I'll contact you in a month or two, be in your peak state gold missions are not that easy."

Yao Tian left the house after saying this.

"I look forward to this so-called gold mission."

"Boss, can you take me with you on this mission?"

"No, if the gold-level missions are as dangerous as Yao Tian, you will die halfway."

"Don't you want to get a soul ring, go prepare we will leave tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Boss."

Xiao Feng thanked Huang Yong and ran to pack his things.

"Pray that things are not as complicated as they seem, otherwise I may have to leave this place after the so-called gold mission."

****************************************

Next morning,

Knock knock 

"Boss wake up it is already morning."

Huang Yong opened his eyes hearing the knock on the door, looking outside the window it was still dark.

'He is too excited to get his soul ring.'

Opening the door, Xiao Feng was standing there with dark circles under his eyes and a bright smile on his face.

"It's still too early go get some rest, if you are not in the right mental state it may affect your absorption of the spirit ring."

After hearing that not sleeping may affect spirit ring absorption Xiao Feng returned to his room to have some rest.

Closing the door Huang Yong also went to bed to take some rest.

2 hours later

Knock 

"Boss, the sun is out it's time to leave."

Huang Yong came out of the room,

"Have you prepared breakfast?"

"Oh No, sorry boss I forgot, wait a few minutes boss I'll prepare in no time."

"Forget about breakfast let's leave to get your soul ring we will have some food in the market."

Huang Yong and Xiao Feng came to the market and after having a simple lunch they booked a carriage and started their journey towards the Soul Beast forest.

"So what class are you going to follow as a martial soul master."

"Boss I have no idea about the martial soul masters class, why don't you suggest me a class?"

"Many soul masters with a knife spirit will choose to follow the path of attack type soul master or agility attack soul master."

"My recommendation for you is to follow the class of assassin-type soul master."

"Boss what is this assassin class it sounds so cool."

"Assassin type soul master is a class that falls under the category of agility attack type soul masters, These soul masters excel in the art of killing and without getting noticed."

"The biggest advantage of assassin-type soul masters is that their frontal attack is also very powerful."

"Boss, I am following this class, you have chosen it must be the best for me."

"Ok."
