Well, you can also refer to other talented soul masters. In Douluo Continent, there are so many talented soul masters emerging in the Continental Soul Master Competition. At least before the establishment of the Spirit Hall, no famous genius soul master died because of the so-called assassination.
As long as you are a genius, you can basically develop to a sufficient level, and the teachers in the college will do their best to protect the students.
Right, Xuanzi.
After Tang San awakened his innate full soul power, which was considered a natural alchemist-level talent, the Spirit Hall did not come to arrest him like the Soul Hall did. There was no such thing as the Spirit Hall seducing students from a certain college.
During the Spirit Hall's rule, there were almost no spirit masters who "occupied the mountains and oppressed the civilians". Even when the two major empires refused to do so, the Spirit Hall still insisted on awakening the spirits of the civilians for free, giving them a chance to change their destiny.
In the second stage of the Douliu, there were cases where civilians did not know what a martial spirit was. But in the first stage, even in a small place like the Holy Soul Village where no soul master had been born in decades, everyone had a martial spirit and everyone could awaken it.
In addition, the evil spirit masters were suppressed by the Spirit Hall, and there was no evil spirit master who could easily capture a genius spirit master for brainwashing or launch a city-destroying operation like in the second and third stages of the Dou Yi. At least the first half of the Dou Yi was still a very peaceful world.
Therefore, Gu You believes that there are more good people in the Spirit Hall, even if he is very unlucky to meet that group of bastards... Do you know about the third level warrant?
Tang San was convinced that he could no longer bring the previous idea of "assuming that everyone is an enemy" into the new world.
Gu You, Old Jack, Su Yuntao, Matthew Nuo, Sisi, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, Lanta, and even Xiao Chenyu, with whom they had a fight, the people in the new world are indeed simple and kind-hearted good people.
"Tang San, you are no longer the lonely killer you used to be. You now have brothers, sisters, and even so many people who are willing to help you. Don't always think like this."
Having said that, Tang San still decided to coat all the hidden weapons with poison, prepare poison gas bombs and the like, and prepare enough antidotes.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one." Tang San thought silently.
"Xiao Wu, you must also be careful when returning to the Xingdou Great Forest."
Xiao Wu looked at Gu You strangely, feeling that he was hinting at something, but she had no evidence. In the end, she could only conclude that he had slipped up and forgot to say "nearby".
"Ranta." "Yes, brother."
"You should practice hard while we're away, and don't forget to go to Uncle Lian Tui's place for training on weekends."
"If you run into any trouble at school, go back to the Spirit Hall and find Sister Sisi. If that doesn't work, go find Grandpa Mashunuo."
"As for the arrows, you have to collect them yourself, and remember to take care of the used arrows. Also, don't go..."
Gu You kept talking to Ranta about the same things he would say almost every once in a while, from big things like training plans to small things like how to dress to keep warm, for fear that Ranta was young and would easily catch a cold and get sick without the care of the three of them.
But Lanta was not impatient at all. She knew very well that the reason why Gu You was so long-winded was because he cared about her. After all, if someone didn't care about her, it wouldn't matter even if he froze to death.
"Lanta, here." Tang San took out a few packets of herbs from his soul guide, "If you catch a cold while we're away, ask the students in Dormitory 7 to make some medicine for you."
"Before we set off, I will tell Sister Sisi that we are going to get the second spirit ring, and ask her to check on you from time to time."
Over the past six months, Tang San and Xiao Wu have also fallen in love with this girl. After all, who doesn't like a cute girl who is serious, hardworking, and sensible?
Feeling everyone's concern for her, Ranta smiled and said, "Okay."

ps: In the original novel, Ning Fengzhi originally wanted to do something to Tang San, but gave up because of Tang Hao.
If you ask me, it is impossible that you two Titled Douluo can strengthen yourself, the best auxiliary spirit master in the continent, but still cannot keep a Haotian Douluo.
The explanation is that the people of Douluo Continent are too simple and honest, and they value harmony above all else. If the people from the Soul Palace next door come, they can take away the souls of all the people on the continent in one day.
There are almost no plots in Douluo Continent where spirit masters and civilians come into contact (Ma Hongjun often goes there, but that doesn't count). It is assumed that the Spirit Hall suppresses the evil deeds of other worlds, so there are no malicious acts. Please recommend and vote for the monthly ticket~
Chapter 113 Soul Hunting
Time seemed to be made in heaven, and in the blink of an eye the three of them reached level 20.
Xiao Wu was the same as last time, she disappeared early the next morning. Lanta stood at the entrance of the academy, watching Gu You and Tang San walk towards the Spirit Hall.
This time, only Brother Tao led Gu You and Tang San to go soul hunting. Because both of them had soul guides, they kept everything simple this time, with weapons, food and water all placed in the soul guides.
Gu You said: "The Soul Beast Forest we are going to this time, although it is called the Soul Beast Forest, is actually a soul beast gathering area mainly in swamps and lakeside."
"So after we reach the outskirts of the Soul Beast Forest, we need to prepare some items that are effective in the swamp in advance in the town over there, including flint, some wading tools, and a large amount of special clothing."
"Swamp?" Tang San was a little surprised. This was his first time to go to a swamp environment.
As a Tang Sect disciple in his previous life, his activities were mainly in Sichuan and Shu, and he basically moved around in hills or mountains. Tang San had never been to a swamp area, and didn't know how to fight there.
As if sensing Tang San's embarrassment, Gu You comforted him, "It's okay. Although it's mainly swampland, we don't actually need to go too deep into the swamp area."
"The target this time, the Jade Bead Beast, usually lies on the dry ground outside the swamp to bask in the sun when not hunting."
"That is to say, if we are lucky enough, we may be able to see it coming out of the swamp on the first day."
Hearing the two people in the back of the car discussing how to fight in the swamp, Su Yuntao said: "Except for a small number of water-attributed soul masters, or soul masters with spirits like snakes, other soul masters will not take the initiative to enter the depths of the swamp."
"Because it's too dangerous." Su Yuntao said firmly, "No one knows what is under the swamp. There are snake soul beasts, insect soul beasts, some aggressive fish soul beasts, and even some plant soul beasts, as well as the crocodile soul beast that Xiaoyou wants this time. These are soul beasts that are very used to hunting in the turbid water of the swamp."
“The most important thing is that if you stay in the swamp area for a long time, it’s not just the soul beasts that are in danger. The swamp itself is a very dangerous area.
"Every year, many soul masters, because they are not aware of the dangers of the swamp area, think that they are strong and have rich experience in hunting souls, and think that the swamp area is the same as other soul beast forests. They rashly choose to go deep into the swamp without taking corresponding precautions.
"As a result," Su Yuntao shrugged, "when our Spirit Hall inspectors found them, they were already found dead there."
"Those who were found dead there were considered lucky. In most cases, even their bodies could not be found. No one knew what killed them, and even their belongings could not be recovered."
"Besides that, it's easy to get some special diseases in the swamp area. If you stay in there for a long time, these diseases will affect your combat and even directly affect whether you can get out of there."
"Although Master Mashunuo has already said it, I still want to say it again." Su Yuntao said earnestly, "You two are geniuses. In the future, the only soul rings that can match you two may be in the Life Forbidden Zone."
"Each life forbidden zone has different things to pay attention to. The soul hunting experience in the Star Dou Great Forest is meaningless to the Death Desert."
"At least when I went to Wuhun City to learn how to deal with the Fallen, the teacher who taught us how to deal with the Fallen said that he got his second spirit ring at level 20 from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. At level 30, because his spirit attribute was water, he found someone to go to the Misty Wetlands to get his third spirit ring."
At this point, Su Yuntao suddenly stopped. Tang San was very curious and asked, "Then, what happened to that person?"
Gu You was also very curious: "Is there a big difference between the Misty Wetlands and the Star Forest?"
Su Yuntao sighed, his voice a little low: "He failed and failed to obtain the third soul ring in the Misty Wetlands. He also lost his left hand for this. In the end, he went to the Xingdou Great Forest to successfully obtain the third soul ring and become a soul master."
"Lose your left hand?" Tang San didn't expect that the spirit master would fail after paying such a huge price. Gu You was also surprised. He thought that although there might be a price to pay, it would eventually succeed.
"Yes, he said it was all because he didn't make any preparations beforehand, and he used the experience from the Star Dou Great Forest in the Misty Wetlands. He didn't expect that it was not the soul beast that led to his failure, but the environment."
Tang San was confused now. What kind of environment would allow a Quasi-Soul Master, especially a Quasi-Soul Master from the grassroots of the Spirit Hall who had rich combat experience and skills, to lose a hand? He fell from a great height and there happened to be sharp stones on the ground, which just happened to cut off his hand?
Gu You was different. Being very familiar with the "Wasteland Survival" series, he immediately thought of something.
"Is it...poisoned?"
"That's right." Su Yuntao nodded, agreeing with Gu You's guess.
"He said he was poisoned because a poisonous grass cut his arm. Because the wound was small and the auxiliary spirit master did not have the spirit skills to detoxify, he had not prepared an antidote. He believed that the toxicity of ordinary poisonous grass was not worth mentioning under the suppression of his spirit power, so he only did a simple cleaning and bandaging."
"By the time the arm showed signs of abnormality, the entire hand had already..."
Su Yuntao shook his head and sighed, "After he got out, he had to amputate his limbs, otherwise the toxins would directly affect his heart and kill him. Later, I asked the people in the local town and found out that it was just a very common poisonous grass. He could take an antidote or his first soul ring had the ability to detoxify and he would be fine."
"Then he lost one hand and could no longer participate in frontline combat, so he had to retire and become our teacher."
"He told us that after that incident, he asked many colleagues who had been to the Life Forbidden Zone. Different Life Forbidden Zones have different things that can endanger the lives of soul masters."
"The Xingdou Great Forest is similar to the Soul Beast Forest we visited last time. The dangers basically come from various different types of soul beasts. Most soul masters die at the hands of soul beasts they don't understand."
"But in the Misty Forest, besides dangerous soul beasts, there are also poisonous insects and plants that are not even soul beasts, dangerous miasma, and possible toxic gases hidden by the foul-smelling water."
"Even the soul beasts are different from those in the Star Dou Great Forest. There may be a soul beast of unknown age staring at you under the turbid water you are wading through."
"Xiao You, Xiao San, this is a great opportunity. The Soul Beast Forest we are going to is mainly swamps like the Misty Wetlands. It will give you a basic understanding of this kind of place."
"Remember, if you go to the Life Forbidden Zone to obtain spirit rings in the future, you must do a good job of preliminary research, even if the locals' information is expensive, you must buy it."
"Otherwise, just one mistake could lead to death on the spot."
After listening to Su Yuntao's earnest words, Gu You and Tang San both looked serious and nodded seriously.
Tang San was both surprised and worried. He was surprised that Gu You could tell him about the possible dangers in the Life Forbidden Zone when he first introduced it, so that he could be mentally prepared for it.
What he was worried about was whether the records of poisons and antidotes in the Xuantian Treasure Record that he brought from the Tang Sect were complete enough. What if one day in the future Gu You and Xiao Wu were poisoned by a poison that was not recorded in the record, and he would be helpless and could only watch them die.
Tang San, who did not regard the Tang Sect as supreme as in the original novel, instinctively thought that although the records of the previous life were for some reason so...similar to the records of the current Douluo Continent, there were such things as soul beasts, and the poison and answers of soul beasts could not possibly be recorded.
"When I get back, I'll have to ask Xiaoyou which books contain records of various poisons and herbs, and I'll have to find time to experiment with various solutions."
"This is a good opportunity. We need to buy more herbs in the town, especially herbs we have never seen before. We also need to prepare collection tools and put all the plants that we cannot identify into soul guides and take them back for research."
"We should also consider equipping a soul skill with the ability to detoxify. If there is a poison that cannot be handled in the future, it can also save Xiao You and Xiao Wu's lives."
If Gu You knew what Tang San was thinking, he would probably be a little speechless in his happiness. "Brother, your hidden weapon, the King of Hell Sticker, is not much more poisonous than these."
Of course, Gu You, who had some basic biological knowledge, also knew that the antidote that could detoxify poison A might not necessarily detoxify poison B, and might even have a reinforcing effect on poison C, so they still had to be treated separately.
However, Gu You doesn’t have time to think about this now. He is also reflecting on the mistakes in his cognition and views.
"Although they are both swamps, the swamps in Douluo Continent are completely different from those in my previous life. They are also hidden under the water, but in the past, only piranhas, poisonous snakes, crocodiles and other dangerous things were there. Now, they are all soul beasts. Even a small fish has the ability to kill me."
"Well, we still need to make more preparations."
"Brother Tao, I have a suggestion." x2
Gu You and Tang San spoke at the same time and found that the other party was also looking at each other while speaking.
"You speak first." x2
"..." x2
After a moment of silence, Gu You spoke first: "Brother Tao, our preparations may not be perfect enough. Can I gather some information in the town outside the Soul Beast Forest before going in to hunt souls?"
Tang San agreed. He also needed some time to buy the antidote that would definitely be sold in the town, and to do research and upgrade the formula. "I agree with Xiaoyou's suggestion. We need to make more preparations to be foolproof."
Su Yuntao was speechless. How much did these two people distrust his own talents? As a great soul master, also his rich experience in hunting souls.
"Could it be that after I accompanied Xiaoyou to test his soul skills and got beaten up and went to the hospital, the image of me in their hearts was completely destroyed (indeed)."
Although he was speechless, Su Yuntao still agreed with their enterprising spirit and their "safe hand" approach. Recall whether there is any work in the Spirit Hall next.
Well, the New Year is coming soon, so I have a lot of free time.
Su Yuntao told the two that they would rest for three days after arriving in the town and officially enter the Soul Beast Forest early in the morning three days later.
The two people, who thought they could only get one day at most, were overjoyed and nodded frantically.
"arrive."
A day later, Su Yuntao stopped the carriage outside a small town. Gu You lifted the curtain, and a gust of wind with a slight smell rushed into the carriage.
"Ugh~" Gu You, disgusted by the smell, put on a mask of pain. Tang San also looked disgusted.
"Hahaha!" Su Yuntao, who just turned his head, was amused by the expressions of the two. Everyone is equal in front of the stench. Even a little genius or a mature young man would be disgusted by the smell.
