Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 16 Ambush
In a blink of an eye, Tong Rui's first semester was over.

There were no stupid provocations, no nagging from teachers, and nothing unexpected happened on the day of the holiday.

Before leaving, the five people also said goodbye to each other. After all, they lived in four different directions and no one was going their way.

Because the journey is long, Tong Qingtian plans to pick him up in person. Before that, Tong Rui plans to take a good look around Tiandou City.

Apart from studying books, I usually go directly to the shops to buy some things when I go to Tiandou City, so I basically haven't been around Tiandou City much.

Tong Rui, who was strolling in the market, thought of the many protagonists who had found bargains at street stalls. Today happened to be a day off, so he also planned to visit the black market in Tiandou City.

Tong Rui walked to a tall white marble archway. On the top was an old wooden plaque with four large characters written in iron and silver.

"Number one in the world!"

The big red lanterns were hung high, making the words glow red as if they were bleeding.

Looking inside the archway, we saw two long dragons lined up.

The dark figures and stalls stretched out for hundreds of meters.

Without any disguise, Tong Rui walked into the market in a carefree manner.

Anyway, I can't do anything in Tiandou City, and the precious items will be bought by people at the first time, so if only some rubbish is left, no one will bother me.

As for the gold soul coins, people above the Soul Saint level would not engage in robbery here. His father would be here soon, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Although he felt uncomfortable with people looking at him like a fat sheep, Tong Rui didn't care. After all, he came here to spend money.

Tong Rui wandered around and stopped at a book stall. He asked the stall owner, "How much are these books?"

"30 gold soul coins per copy."

Tong Rui picked up some books and flipped through them. He found that most of the books were old books. He picked out four and said, "These, 20."

"can."

Tong Rui paid and left. These four books were more or less related to soul guides. Two of them were old books, which were also used to confuse the boss and prevent him from asking for an exorbitant price.

Although Tong Rui didn't need these few dozen dollars, he didn't want to be killed in vain.

I continued to stroll along a road and bought some medicinal seeds and a broken soul guide.

Although the soul guides were broken, the core inside them was not damaged.

Tong Rui planned to record it and then try to repair it using the Space-Time Treasure House. After all, even the corpses of soul beasts could be forged into weapons, so there was no reason why soul guides could not be repaired.

As the study of herbal medicine has reached a bottleneck, Tong Rui plans to study soul guides and forging after completing the research on the skills, in preparation for the production of battle armor.

Although he could strengthen himself infinitely through the Treasure House of Time and Space, the strengthening became slower and slower. That set of forged armor had been nurtured for 6 and a half years, and it had only reached 91% now.

Although having reached the level of a one-word battle armor meant he was at the forefront of the times, Tong Rui felt that at this rate of progress, even if he was given a title, his battle armor wouldn't reach the level of a two-word one.

When we reached the soul beast area, things started to get chaotic.

Not to mention soul beast eggs and young soul beasts, the most common things here are slaves and people who exhibit soul beast characteristics.

Tong Rui was also very interested in this. Although now people only sell people with animal ears and tail features as slaves.

But if you have watched Douluo Dalu 3, you will know the importance of bloodline. This kind of people who have shown the characteristics of soul beasts are obviously because their bloodline awakening is incomplete or uncontrollable.

If one awakens his martial soul or purifies his bloodline, then his progress can be said to be rapid.

Generally speaking, in this situation, as long as the bloodline improves, not only will the soul power break through the shackles, but its upper limit will also be greatly increased.

However, even if Tong Rui had the conditions, he would not buy it. Those who were sold must have extremely low innate soul power. Even if they could improve, it would be too slow. The same is true for soul beasts.

Even if there is a good one, Tong Rui will not buy it unless the talent is extremely high or the bloodline is excellent enough. After all, he will be going home soon, and it is not convenient to carry one with him.

After returning home, I bought soul beast eggs from the town near the Star Dou Great Forest. The talents of soul beast eggs there are definitely higher than those in the inland Soul Hunting Forest or Sunset Forest.

As for the beast-eared girl, it depends on fate. If this kind of people are not trained from childhood, it is actually meaningless. Just like that, after visiting the black market, I returned to the academy. I found that my father was already waiting in the reception room.

Tong Rui hurriedly walked into the house and asked, "When did you come?"

Tong Qingtian replied: "Not long, let's go, you still need to go to some villages for experiments."

That’s right, the purpose of Tong Rui calling Tong Qingtian was also for the plan that he had once shelved - the faith experiment.

Although the power of faith is difficult for normal soul masters to absorb, Tong Rui still believes that he can give it a try with the help of the proficiency system.

The father and son headed back home, planning to try it out in the nearest village first.

But not long after leaving Tiandou City, Tong Qingtian pulled Tong Rui and stopped.

Tong Rui looked at his father in confusion, and Tong Qingtian said calmly, "Aren't you coming out yet?"

Tong Rui immediately took a alert posture and summoned his martial soul.

I saw a middle-aged man and a young man walking out, surrounded by four men in black.

"It's you? Mihoyo, right? I remember you were the son of the Grand Duke of the Barak Kingdom. How come you finally got the courage to take revenge on me?"

Tong Rui remained alert but appeared calm on the surface, and at the same time told Tong Qingtian the identity of the person in front of him.

Tong Rui had asked Yu Tianheng to help investigate before. The strongest person in the MiHoYo family was a level 79 Soul Saint. The reason why he became a Grand Duke was because his family was a founding hero, so he could inherit the position of Grand Duke after reaching level 70.

Tong Rui thought to himself, "I guess my family is also within the scope of their investigation. Since they are so confident in surrounding me, the leader must be at the Soul Saint level. I just don't know what level the remaining four are at."

Mihoyo's face flushed, but the man said, "Haha, as long as you kneel down in front of my son today, kowtow and apologize, how about we just let this matter go?"

Tong Qingtian snorted coldly and said, "One Soul Saint and four high-level Soul Sect members, is this the reason why you are so confident in besieging us?"

"As long as we catch that little brat, you'll be able to surrender. Go ahead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four Soul Masters rushed towards Tong Rui from behind, and the Soul Saint also rushed towards Tong Qingtian.

"Hold on, I'll take care of him right away!" Tong Qingtian said in a voice transmission.

"A mere Soul Sect member is not worthy of defeating me." Tong Rui said confidently.

As he spoke, a suit of armor appeared out of thin air and was put on Tong Rui. It was the meteorite armor that had been cultivated to 91%.

Although this armor has not been fully tempered to the level of a one-word battle armor, the parts that have been upgraded are also the highest limit that Tong Rui can bear. After all, a one-word battle armor requires at least a 5-ring soul master to wear.

The four men approached in front of him in a blink of an eye. Tong Rui observed the four men in black. Three had beast spirits and one had a weapon spirit.

He activated his first soul skill, Star Chain.

A silver star appeared at the feet of the Wolf Soul Master who was charging in the front, and in the blink of an eye, a chain extended out, wrapping around and binding him.

But at the same time, a long knife chopped horizontally. Tong Rui stepped back decisively and instantly raised a wolf-head gold shield with his left hand to block the attack of the long knife.

At the same time, he replaced the star disk in his right hand with a long sword and threw it at the Leopard Soul Master who was jumping towards him.

He summoned the star disk again and used his shield to repel the long sword. At the same time, he jumped backwards to avoid the wind blade shot from the air by an avian soul master of unknown species.

As the four soul masters activated their soul skills and rushed towards him, Tong Rui also rushed towards the long sword soul master, replacing the shield in his left hand with a dagger.

Just as the four were about to rush towards him, Tong Rui used his third soul skill, astral barrier.

A purple light flashed, and the accumulated offensive of the four people was instantly interrupted, and they rushed towards Tong Rui with their physical bodies.

At this time, Tong Rui had already approached the long sword soul master and activated his first soul skill again. The chain wrapped around the soul master, and the long sword in Tong Rui's hand pierced the soul master's heart.

He stepped on the long sword soul master, pulled out the long sword, turned half a circle, held the long sword with his backhand, and used his soul power again to insert it into the long sword soul master's brain.

He turned and looked at the remaining three people: "Come on!"
