Without wasting any time, Mu Lan and Beng Zeng set off towards the Paladin trainer. Within 3-4 minutes, they arrived, and the trainer began to speak. The AI in the game was very advanced, behaving almost like real people. When the Paladin trainer saw Beng Zeng, he greeted him warmly, as Beng Zeng had completed his novice training. Some information was transmitted to NPCs, such as task completion or training completion, enabling them to give tasks to regular users.

"Young Paladin. Your soul seems well-trained, and a Paladin's soul aligns with his shield. If you want to strengthen your soul further, you need to complete the task I give you. If you succeed, your soul will grow stronger."

Ding!

[Hidden Quest - The Paladin's Soul]

Every novice Paladin who has successfully completed their training can take a task from Paladin trainers to strengthen their souls. However, completing the task depends entirely on the Paladin's soul. Those who successfully complete the task are rewarded with great prizes, while those who fail face severe penalties.

Awaken the Paladin's soul to complete the task.

Soul Shield

Beng Zeng spoke nervously, "Mu, I accepted the quest, but there's a time limit and I don't know how to do it. What are we going to do? If I fail, I'll lose 50 reputation, and you know how much that would upset me. Help me."

Stolen story; please report.

"Calm down. Tell me what the quest is. Let's go do it and get you that shield."

"Alright, Mu..."

Understanding the details of the quest was an important step for Mu Lan and Beng Zeng. Then, after getting the quiver from the Archer trainer, they were ready to start this challenging quest. They were determined to do their best to complete it successfully.

The Magic Quiver on Mu Lan's back was eye-catching enough to grab the attention of other players. This quiver showed that he was a powerful warrior. The faint white glow reflected the power of his soul and quiver. Feeling more ready for upcoming adventures, Mu Lan was eager to fight more effectively.

"Oooo, Mu, you're glowing. Don't tell me you already completed the quest. Look, I still have mine. How dare you finish before me."

"Beng, it's not just that. Wait until you see the rest of the items I got when we go monster hunting."

"Good grief, what else did you get? What about me? Weren't we supposed to be the invincible duo?"

"Of course, we will be, Beng. But first, let's do your quest. Your time is running out, right? The last I checked, there were 3 hours left. If we don't finish it in time, you'll get the penalty, and then I'll laugh at you. Let's not waste any more time and get your quest done."

When Mu Lan and Beng Zeng left the city, they saw many people attacking monsters. There were so many people that there were hardly any monsters left. Whenever one appeared, 30 people would attack it simultaneously, taking 5 minutes to kill one monster and gaining very little experience.

"Mu, there are too many people here. How are we going to kill monsters? If we go further, there will be stronger monsters. What are we going to do? Losing 50 reputation points seems inevitable."

"Beng, relax. We'll get you that shield, don't worry. Let's go and hunt level 5 monsters."

"What, level 5? Mu, have you lost your mind? How are we going to kill a level 5 monster when 30 people are taking 5 minutes to kill a level 1 monster? How long will it take us to kill a level 5 one? I'd rather take the 50 reputation penalty."

"Beng, don't you trust me? I said we're going to get you that shield, and we're going. The shield we'll get will be as impressive as my quiver. Don't you want a glowing shield? Have a little faith; we'll get you that shield. Now, come on, let's hunt those level 5 monsters."

The forest where the Green Wolves lived truly reflected the beauty of nature. However, despite this beautiful scenery, it seemed to be quite a dangerous place. Facing the Green Wolves wouldn't be easy. Meanwhile, the time remaining to complete the Paladin's Soul quest was quickly running out, so they needed to get started right away.
