Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 110 If you don't join the Star Crown Sect, then die.

Although Soto City is a main city, in Xu Mingxi's eyes, it was just so-so. Moreover, his purpose in coming here this time was not to wander around.

Although Xu Mingxi's clothes were not fancy, the fabric looked expensive, so naturally no one dared to bother her.

He walked slowly into the city, not visiting the twins at the Rose Hotel, nor going to the Soto Arena, but going directly to the commercial street of Soto City.

The cries of street vendors, the enticing aroma of street food, and the dazzling array of exquisite clothes in the shops on both sides did not make Xu Mingxi stop until he walked to a small shop.

The sign above has a circular logo with two symbols inside, a sword and a hammer, and there are traces of something being erased next to it.

"The Seven Kill Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer, I didn't expect that even though the Three Upper Sects have changed leaders, he still keeps the symbols of these two sects."

Xu Mingxi went inside. There was only one person in the shop. There were some old items hanging on the wall, which didn't look very valuable, but there were faint soul guidance fluctuations coming from them.

Hearing the noise, the shop owner got up from the recliner and came to Xu Mingxi. When he saw the clothes on Xu Mingxi's body, his eyes lit up and a cunning look flashed in his eyes.

Xu Mingxi also sized up the shop owner in front of her, or rather, Cathawk Flander, a man around fifty years old with a hooked nose, square black-rimmed glasses, and a cunning look in his eyes.

"Your presence truly honors our humble establishment. May I ask what you would like to order?"

Xu Mingxi turned to look at the wall, where there was an inconspicuous transparent crystal about the size of a human head, with large patches of dark yellow impurities. It was also one of the reasons he had come here.

"I want this crystal."

"Sir, you have a discerning eye. This crystal is a precious treasure that I obtained from a rare and precious place after overcoming countless difficulties. It is an absolutely rare find in the world."

Name your price.

"A sincere offer of one thousand gold soul coins."

"make a deal."

Xu Mingxi tossed a bag of gold soul coins onto the counter, picked up the crystal, and left. Although Flander was suspected of overcharging customers, it wasn't worth wasting time for such a small amount of gold soul coins.

Standing in the shop, Flander watched Xu Mingxi's departing figure, then looked at the large bag of gold soul coins on the counter, and was stunned.

What a sucker! He bought it without even haggling over the price, even though it was overpriced by many times. But as long as there's money to be made, who cares?

After leaving the shop, Xu Mingxi put the crystal into his storage soul tool, intending to seal it away permanently. He wouldn't use it, but he also didn't want it to have the chance to be obtained by Tang San.

Immediately afterward, he inquired briefly at the information-selling place in Soto City, confirmed the direction of Shrek Academy, and then disappeared. He reappeared above Shrek Academy.

Looking down at the rudimentary training ground, the dilapidated school buildings, and the training grounds that didn't even exist, Xu Mingxi shook his head. The only reason someone could cultivate talent in such an environment was probably due to the students' monstrous genius.

He looked around and finally spotted a silver-haired boy practicing his soul skills in a corner of the playground. His captivating eyes were already beginning to show their charm.

Beside him stood a fat Soul Master wearing a chef's hat, muttering to himself as if he were instructing someone.

These two were his targets for this trip, especially the silver-haired boy Oscar, a rare food-type soul master with innate full soul power in the Douluo Continent.

He stopped concealing himself and fell from the sky. Shao Xin quickly noticed this and hurriedly shielded Oscar behind him, watching Xu Mingxi who was falling from the sky warily.

"I wonder what brings you here, sir."

"I happened to be passing by and saw this silver-haired boy cultivating. He has an exceptionally high talent. I wonder if you two have any influence? Why don't you join my sect?"

"May I ask which sect you belong to, sir?"

"Star Crown Sect, if you join us, our Star Crown Sect can offer you an elder position. What do you say?"

Shao Xin felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the intense pressure emanating from the person before him. He knew that this person was definitely not just a Soul Saint; his aura far surpassed that of the stingy old man, Flander.

However, he only got to this point because he didn't like being restricted. Otherwise, as a level 69 food-type Soul Emperor, he would be a guest of honor everywhere.

"My lord, I really don't want to join any faction... Yes, my lord, I'll join."

Shao Xin wasn't stupid. Sensing Xu Mingxi's aura and increasingly obvious killing intent, he knew exactly what this person was thinking: if he couldn't recruit her, he would resort to killing her.

Freedom? In the face of death, that's all trivial. He hasn't lived enough yet, how could he bear to die? Besides, he hasn't even seen Oscar become a Title Douluo yet.

As soon as Shao Xinyi agreed, Xu Mingxi immediately toned down his imposing manner, put on a gentle smile, and looked at him and Oscar behind him.

"Young friend, how about joining my sect? You'll have plenty of gold soul coins and all sorts of resources. We can even provide you with soul bones."

Oscar was precocious and knew that the person in front of him was someone even Teacher Shao Xin couldn't afford to offend. He also knew that this might be an opportunity for him, but having been adopted by Dean Flander, he didn't really want to leave.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I still want to stay..."

Oscar hadn't even finished speaking when Shao Xin covered his mouth. Didn't he realize the situation was dire? He shouldn't have said such suicidal things.

"Sir, this child is an orphan that our director took in. He grew up with him since he was little. It's normal for a child to be reluctant to part with him. Could you wait for our director to return and have him persuade the child?"

At this moment, Shao Xin was only thinking about waiting for Flander to return and see if he could beat the person in front of him. If he couldn't, he would have no choice but to accept his fate and join the Star Crown Sect.

Recalling the murderous aura he had just felt, he couldn't help but shudder. The person in front of him was truly capable of killing.

"When will your dean return? I don't have time to wait too long."

"Today, today, sir. Don't worry, the dean will be back tonight."

"Alright, I just hope you won't disappoint me. By the way, no one is allowed to leave this academy before you come with me."

Feeling the murderous intent emanating from Xu Mingxi that made him unable to even think of resisting, Shao Xin knew that what he said was true. He took Oscar and went to find other teachers and another student from the academy, Ma Hongjun.

They need to work together to persuade Oscar and Flander, otherwise Shrek is really doomed this time.
