Legendary Soul Art

Chapter 58 Soul Beasts

Number One didn't know as much about Soul Beasts as he did about Alchemy but those two fields were more tied together than people thought. He knew about one Soul Liquid that had a history with the Emerald Viper and it happened to be one of the main ingredients for many Heaven ranked pills.

Number One waited until Darius was done explaining their mission to the other students and finally questioned, "Is the Emerald Viper perhaps hiding in the cave?"

His question didn't calm the other top class students who were clearly panicking after hearing who they were going to face. Even if they just planned on watching from afar, it was still dangerous and many would try to avoid going if they knew beforehand.

Too bad, they have already boarded the flying ship and could no longer debark.

"How did you know?" Darius asked back in surprise and nodded, "The Emerald Viper is indeed inside one of the mountain caves that is currently surrounded by our hunting team. They are waiting for us to arrive before we begin with the operation. This region is under Winged Soul Academy control so we don't expect any surprises."

Number One's eyes brightened with interest but he didn't let it show too much. He focused on wondering if it was possible that the Emerald Viper found the pool of its favorite Emerald Milk and used it to break through. It was not supposed to be present in the Outer World but nature was unpredictable.

"What if the Emerald Viper attacks us? Can the hunting team protect us?" Fatty questioned while the whole class nodded anxiously. They were still young and never experienced any dangers but that was the lesson they needed to face.

"Did you plan to sit in the Soul Academy and just study Soul Arts all year round?" Darius asked back with an eye roll. "The life of a Soul Artist is as dangerous as it can be. You can die on every mission if you are not careful enough. This special training is meant to introduce those dangers to you all and it's a great opportunity to face your fears."

Darius paused as he pointed at the cabins and added, "If you are too scared you can just sit in the cabin for the whole duration of the mission. I will ask the Headmaster to expel you from the Academy afterward since we have no use for you."

The truth was like thunder in the stormy weather and no one raised complaints anymore. Staying in the Academy was their only life goal so they could only brace themselves and ignore their fears.

"None of them will survive in the main Academy…" Luna commented speechlessly as she stuck with Number One and Luna. "I'm not going to die for any of them if shit hits the fan. It's everyone for themselves."

Number One didn't comment but his situation wasn't any different. The only ones he would even consider assisting were the ladies by his side. Nami because they already shared too much together and Luna because she was yet to repay him for all the favors. He could always add more to the list if it didn't cost him too much.

The flight in the flying ship was supposed to last until noon so Number One managed to finally get some rest. Nami was ready to join the mile-high club the moment he woke up but he still needed to fill the gaps in his knowledge about the Soul Beasts.

"I can teach you the basics," Nami suggested with a clever smile while sitting comfortably on his hips. "We can enjoy and study at the same time. Luna shouldn't be back that quick."

Number One squinted his eyes at the sex maniac in front of him. Any man would dream to have a woman like her until they actually met one. If not for his regeneration, he would be completely drained by now.

"You know, Soul Beasts are similar to your pills," Nami began the introduction without waiting for his agreement. "They are split into the same ranks of Common, Earth, Heaven, Saint, and Legendary. The difference is that they can cultivate just like Soul Artists. The Soul Crystals in their bodies act like a Human Soul and they can grow both the quality and quantity of their Soul Energy."

Nami kept grinding her bottom as she explained and unzipped Number One's pants to pull out her reward. She stroked the erect tip against her entrance as if to tease him when the door suddenly opened and she sat back down immediately.

"Guys, Darius said we are almost at our destination," Luna informed as she entered the cabin and jumped down on the couch with a thud. "Gosh, it's so windy outside. My hair is all a mess."

There were only a few cabins so they had to share one with Luna but it wasn't the best time for her to come back from the deck. Nami covered her mouth to hold back her moans while Number One tried his best not to laugh. It brought him a secret pleasure to watch her struggle after she wanted to tease him.

"Why are you acting strange? Did something happen?" Luna had no idea what was going on as they didn't really change positions since she left.

"It's nothing, Nami was just telling me about Soul Beasts," Number One explained with pursed lips. "Is that right?"

"Mhmm," Nami nodded while pressing her lips together and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Luna, how about you take over? Tell him about Soul Crystal ranks."

"Isn't that the most basic knowledge?" Luna pointed out with raised eyebrows but she still explained while watching them closely. "You should know all the Soul Talents, right? Soul Beasts have the same but they categorize their ranks based on the color of their Soul Crystal."

Luna paused for a second as she saw Nami fidget around with her body. "Common rank has White and Yellow Soul Crystals. Earth rank has Orange and Green. The same follows for Heaven and Saint ranks as they have Blue, Purple, Red, and Black consecutively. The only difference is the Legendary Soul Beasts which have Gold Soul Crystals but it seems to be a myth. No one has ever seen one of them."

"Can every Soul Beast advance infinitely with enough resources?" Number One wondered out loud and Luna shook her head.

"Every Soul Beast is limited by their own species. Just like humans have Soul Talents, they have bloodlines that dictate their maximum capabilities," Luna replied casually as her gaze eyed their hips. "Nature is brutal for Soul Beasts just as much as it is for humans."

It was clear that Luna noticed their actions so Nami stopped pretending and finally opened her mouth to let out her pleasing moans. She grabbed Number One's waist and began moving up to her liking with no shame on her face. Luna only glared at them both as if she was judging them and stood up to leave.

"Hey, don't look at me like that," Number One raised his hands in defence. "It's all her. I was just lying when she jumped on me. I'm a victim here."

Luna only rolled her eyes in response and asked, "Should I jump on you too if you are not going to do anything about it?"

Number One raised his eyebrows and Luna immediately corrected while leaving the cabin, "I was joking. Don't take me seriously."

The speed of Nami's moves only accelerated when the door closed and she commented playfully, "She didn't seem to be joking. You should be careful or she will jump you."

"The only person I should be careful with right now is you. What if it was Darius who caught us?" Number One asked back as he smacked Nami's butt. He considered stopping right there as the flying ship was already slowing down but instead he placed her on the edge of the bed to finish her quicker.

Even though Nami was quite shameless and a bit excessive with her sexual drive, her face during the peak of ecstasy was still the best view in the world. Nothing could replace the pure joy and love on her face as he burst inside of her.

"Let's go. Everyone must be waiting already."

The long-awaited flying ship has finally arrived but besides the hunting team from the Academy, they were being watched by two more groups hiding in two opposite locations. One of them was a single lady which was extremely familiar to anyone in the Academy.

She watched the flying ship land and smiled the moment she saw Number One's face in the group. "I guess the wait was really worth it…"
