Xu Nian, once the leader of a mercenary group, was a level 79 assault-type combat soul saint. He was very lucky to obtain a ten thousand year old soul bone while soul hunting.
After absorbing the ten thousand year soul bone, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and reached level 80. He was only one soul ring away from being able to be called a Soul Douluo level powerhouse. In the Douluo Continent, he could be considered a powerful figure.
So he began to organize people to prepare for the soul hunt. The Soul Douluo masters ignored him, but the soul masters below the Soul Douluo level were a little wary because his previous mercenary group had been completely wiped out.
In the end, it took a long time but the effect was minimal. Apart from him, there was only one low-level Soul Sage in the entire team who was lured here with a large sum of money.
He originally thought that with this team of two Soul Saints, four Soul Emperors, and six Soul Kings, he would be able to hunt down a 40,000 to 50,000 year old soul beast as his eighth soul ring.
But what they did not expect was that before they met a suitable soul beast, they were visited by a 60,000-year-old bald vulture.
Relying on the advantage of flying, apart from Xu Nian, the other soul masters couldn't play much of a role. They could only huddle together to prevent the bald vultures' attacks while watching Xu Nian get beaten up.
Seeing that Xu Nian didn't lose to him, the low-level Soul Saint led his team to retreat and escape from the Star Dou Great Forest. The remaining Xu Nian was entangled by the bald vultures. It felt that as long as it swallowed the human in front of it, it would soon become an 80,000-year-old soul beast.
Xu Nian also became ruthless. The bloodline of the giant-winged eagle was higher than that of the bald eagle. If he wants to eat him, just leave him here as a soul ring.
The huge roar caused by the fight between the two attracted the attention of a woman in a pink dress deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, and soon they were on the verge of fighting.
The woman looked with disdain at the humans who entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt wild beasts, and also the bald vultures whose favorite food was soft-boned rabbits. She wished for both of them to die here.
Thus, he capitalized on the fight between the two, and nine soul rings appeared behind him. He kicked each of them straight to the ground.
What Xu Mingxi and the others witnessed was the sight of a beautiful woman showing off her divine power, yet only he knew who this woman with scorpion-braid hair, wearing a pink dress, and appearing alone in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest was.
"Who is it? Come out."
The arrival of Xu Mingxi and the others could be hidden from Xu Nian, but it could never be hidden from the woman who was a Douluo Degree. She kicked Xu Nian who had crawled up, back to the ground and looked warily at Xu Mingxi and the others.
Xu Mingxi held out his hand to stop the clan leader from advancing. In Star Dou's Great Forest, the woman in front of him was one of the beasts that shouldn't be provoked.
Xu Nian could be killed at any time, but if she provoked the Titan Giant Ape and Blue Bull Python, it wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Although these two beasts have not yet become hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, it will still take a few years. Now, relying on their powerful bloodlines, ordinary beasts that were hundreds of thousands of years old were no match for them.
Xu Mingxi had an idea to take action against these two rabbits and the two soul beasts behind them, but not now. They only had three titles and were no match for these monsters.
"We're just passing through. I think senior has already solved the problem, so we won't bother you."
Xu Mingxi didn't wait for the woman's reply. He left first and signaled the sect leader and the others to follow him. Before long, they heard the roar of a great ape.
The woman stood there and watched Xu Mingxi and the others leave quietly. She could sense just how formidable the strength of the people on the other side was. There was even one that made her feel extremely threatened. It's a good thing they left on their own initiative.
She kicked Xu Nian who had risen again, to the ground. This time, he was completely out of breath. The bald vultures lying on the ground with serious injuries were also torn to shreds by the charging Titan Ape.
The woman jumped onto the Titan Ape's shoulder and returned to the Lake of Life. If possible, she hoped no humans would disturb the tranquility here.
"Mingxi, what happened just now?"
"Sect Master, that woman wasn't human. No, she's a soul creature transformed into a human."
Everyone ran out of the Star Dou Great Forest. The sect master then asked Xu Mingxi about what had just happened. He clearly wanted to kill the person who was kicked to the ground with his own hands, so why did he give up in the end?
But no one expected Xu Mingxi's answer. There were actually soul beasts that could be reborn as humans and become a Titled Douluo.
Everyone silently agreed not to ask Xu Mingxi how he found out. Dugu Bo returned to Heaven Dou City, and everyone from the Star Crown Sect rushed toward Star Luo Mountain.
Xu Mingxi swallowed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and with the dual effects of Yangyanwu's sacrifice, although most of his energy was used to transform his martial soul, his soul power had instantly shot up to level 74.
The speed of this progress left the sect master dumbfounded. It was truly too fast. Perhaps in a few years, the Star Crown Sect would have another elder.
The clan leader was in a very good mood the entire trip. Even when he was attacked by a bunch of blind bandits, he was still able to lead them away with a smile.
Alas, his good mood was completely shattered the moment he returned to Star Crown Sect o. Emperor Star Luo had personally come to invite the Star Crown Sect Master to Star Luo City for a talk.
From any point of view, this looked like the Hongmen Banquet. Although they weren't going to besiege and kill the clan leader, there were definitely some difficult things he needed to do.
Of course I couldn't refuse it. I could only go and see what the situation was like, and then work on it step by step.
The sect leader left the affairs of the sect to some Chun generation elders and set off for Star Luo City. As for Xu Mingxi, the young sect leader, his most important task now was to train.
An old star-seeking vine quietly poked its head out of the star tree and carefully observed Xu Mingxi who was sitting cross-legged beneath it.
He was surprised to find that even though it was daytime and without the blessing of starlight and moonlight, Xu Mingxi's cultivation speed hadn't slowed down much.
He could sense that the light the boy was guided by during the day wasn't starlight at all. The vines swept by and accurately caught traces of golden red light from the seemingly white light.
This, daylight! ! ! How was that possible?
Old Teng stared at Xu Mingxi in astonishment. This was simply outrageous. How can a human control three lights: the sun, moon and stars? This was even worse than a beast.
The captured sunlight gradually fused into Old Teng's body, nourishing his entire beast soul. Although it wasn't as good as the moonlight essence, it was softer, more durable, and more abundant.
Xu Mingxi's guided sunlight at noon illuminates the vines and old trees, and can even slightly accelerate their growth. They had never liked daylight before.
