Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 64: It's the beginning of another school year
The next day, when Tong Rui was treating the villagers, he mentioned the cracks in the ground at the edge of the village.

However, the villagers came forward with what they had seen and heard. Some said that there was a terrifying soul beast hiding in the gap, while others said that they had asked a soul master from the Spirit Hall to investigate, but the soul master said that there was nothing inside.

After all, the crack in the ground was filled with darkness, and it was estimated that the spirit master from the Spirit Hall left after confirming that there were no spirit beasts.

Anyway, after finishing the treatment of the village, Tong Rui informed the village chief that the sect would send people to garrison there later, and then he and Ye Xiong set out on the journey back to the sect.

After returning to the sect, the two of them went back to their respective homes.

As soon as Tong Rui opened the door, a golden-colored, twin-winged dragon swooped down from the roof. This was the Holy Dragon of Light that Tong Rui had carefully cultivated for two years.

Because he had been using the Star and Moon Prayers during the dragon egg period for many years, in addition to the breath of light and holiness, Tong Rui could also feel some of the breath of the stars that was closely related to himself.

Perhaps it was because the fourth soul ring was guided by the stars. Through the power of destiny that came with it, Tong Rui could vaguely sense that the people related to him were all favored by fate.

Tong Rui called this Holy Dragon of Light Dragon Baby. Although it was just born, its body length was already over one meter, and its cultivation had been going on for more than twenty years.

In order to help it quickly pass through its childhood and reach the level of a ten-thousand-year soul beast as soon as possible, Tong Rui specifically instructed the sect's disciples to collect thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts and hand over their corpses to Tong Rui.

The corpses of ordinary soul beasts, after special processing, can be used to feed Long Bao, which can increase its cultivation years as quickly as possible. The corpses of special soul beasts and ten thousand year soul beasts can be used to make soul bones and weapons to add to Tong Rui's treasure house.

The sect's strength is not comparable to that of Tong Rui's family of three. In response to Tong Rui's needs, the sect began to collect methods to enhance the body and rare metals.

After the elders of the sect negotiated with the two empires, the empires sent a large number of people to assist the Xingchen Sect in establishing a chamber of commerce. However, the scale will not be very large, after all, most of the cake in this market has been seized.

Fortunately, the sect has sufficient resources for sale, and the market for mid- and low-end soul masters is very good.

Speaking of it, the high-end soul masters on the mainland, just like Shrek ten thousand years later, still look down on soul guides. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, which is on good terms with the Star Sect, doesn't look down on soul guides.

In terms of attack and defense, low-level soul guides are not as good as themselves, and higher-level soul guides consume too much soul power and are not worth it. This kind of thinking is also the case in the eyes of those families with top martial spirits.

Even the fixed-type soul guide cannons only caused a stir in the armies of the two empires. These soul guides were mostly used as weapons to defend the city. If the two sides were at war, the soul masters who used these soul guide cannons could achieve the same effect by consuming more soul power.

Therefore, the soul guide device only caused a brief wave, which was soon quelled by major forces.

Except for the Spirit Hall, or in other words, except for Bibi Dong, this talented woman.

Bibi Dong rose to her current position step by step from a commoner. He naturally knew how much impact the continued development of soul guides would have on ordinary soul masters.

In Bibi Dong's view, the actions of the Xingchen Sect and Tong Rui over the years have gradually replaced the role of the Spirit Hall.

Although other sects were also within their sphere of influence and prohibited the Spirit Hall from interfering, Bibi Dong didn't care much about their power. After all, in terms of the combat power of high-end spirit masters, it was enough to form a crushing force. But once the Xingchen Sect waited for Tong Rui's generation to develop, I'm afraid even the Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to say that it was a head start.

Logically speaking, Bibi Dong should target Tong Rui and his Xingchen Sect, but considering her hatred for the Spirit Hall and the inheritance assessment of the Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong wishes that the Spirit Hall would be destroyed as soon as possible.

Moreover, the news that Tong Rui and Xue Qinghe were very close friends deeply hurt Bibi Dong's heart.

Whenever she thought of Qian Renxue, she would always be conflicted. On the one hand, she hoped that her daughter could find a good match and not suffer the same fate as she did back then.

But on the other hand, when she thought that her daughter was born to that scumbag Qianxunji, she wanted to destroy everything related to angels.

Tong Rui had no idea what Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall had done, and at this time he returned to the Tiandou Royal Academy.

In fact, it is normal for Tong Rui not to go back to school with his current level. It would be much more convenient for him to obtain resources or research in the sect.

But the main thing is that Tong Rui needs to show up at Tiandou Royal Academy. This is also the agreement between Tong Rui and the Tiandou Royal Family, or with Xue Qinghe.

According to Xue Qinghe, as long as they show up a few times as the signboard of Tiandou Royal Academy, they can obtain a batch of royal resources, including mineral resources and herbal resources.

Tong Rui thought that he had nothing to lose anyway, Tiandou Royal Academy could also provide the corresponding resources, and it would be better to study knowledge in the royal collection than to work in isolation.

Therefore, he sought out Dugu Bo, a guest of the Tiandou royal family, to ensure his safety. Tong Rui frequently went to the library in the palace. Every time he read a book, he secretly copied a copy of it in the treasury using a typing soul guide.

As a result, the relationship between Tong Rui and Xue Qinghe became better and better.

Tong Rui was very pleased to see such a scene. Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was ostensibly a prince who assisted Emperor Xue Ye in governing the country in an orderly manner, but secretly he was weakening the country's strength in various ways.

In particular, the growth potential of domestic soul masters is the most suppressed. Through the intelligence system of the Tiandou Empire, the news is brought to the Spirit Hall. If there are geniuses, they will be recruited into the Spirit Hall, and the threatening forces will be assassinated.

If Tong Rui had not acted extremely quickly and the sect had not already taken shape, I am afraid that as time went on, the geniuses in the team who took the magical herbs would eventually lose their families and lives.

So what does Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, think?

After a long period of observation, she knew very well that Tong Rui only favored his relatives and friends, and the Tiandou Empire was simply unable to recruit him and the Xingchen Sect behind him.

Then, if he makes friends with Tong Rui in the name of Xue Qinghe, the Tiandou Empire will fall apart in the future. Even if his identity is exposed, Tong Rui will still have to keep his promise. As long as his sect does not get involved in the royal disputes, the unification of the Spirit Hall will be just around the corner.

However, the years of friendship did not bring Tong Rui any favors, but instead a sense of reluctance in his heart.
