Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 3 Summoning Stars

Acquiring a spirit ring is the most important event in a spirit master's life, symbolizing that the spirit master's strength, identity, and status have all reached a new level.

"Over thousands of years, our ancestors made continuous attempts and finally discovered the Star-Calling Cicada, a soul beast."

Choosing this as your first spirit ring greatly increases your chances of obtaining the most suitable first spirit skill for a Star Crown Martial Soul control type: Star Guiding Technique.

The sect leader personally led Xu Mingguang and Xu Mingxi, two geniuses with innate full soul power, to the Star Valley.

Apart from the members of the Star Crown Sect, no other pedestrians pass by here. On ordinary nights, starlight often shines down, making it the perfect place to raise star-calling cicadas.

The Star-Calling Cicada is a gregarious soul beast. The strongest in the valley is a four-thousand-year-old Star-Calling Cicada King. The first soul skill of the Star Crown Sect members who want to take the control route is basically taken from this.

The arrival of the sect leader naturally alarmed Xu Chunmian, the level 73 control-type battle spirit saint who guarded the Star Valley.

"Sect Master, what brings you here? Oh, look at my brain, it must be because of Mingguang and Mingxi."

Xu Chunmian is also from the same generation as the sect leader, but due to her limited talent, Soul Saint is her peak. Now she guards the Star Valley, which is also a contribution to the clan.

"Pure cotton grandma is so good x2".

"Pure Cotton, I came back this time for these two children. They both want to take the path of control, so I brought them here to obtain their first spirit rings."

"Okay, okay, you're all good kids."

However, Sect Master, the only one suitable as the first Soul Ring in the valley right now is a Star-Summoning Cicada that is about four hundred years old.

There's another one that's only a little over 300 years old, almost 400. Isn't that a bit too young?

The sect leader frowned upon hearing this news; this was a tricky matter.

"Grandpa Sect Master, let Brother Mingguang absorb that four-hundred-year-old one. My physique is too weak, I might not be able to absorb it."

Xu Mingxi's maturity made the sect leader feel somewhat ashamed, although he did think so too. He could only go back and make it up to little Mingxi.

Actually, a first spirit ring of over 390 years isn't bad, and it's also true that Xu Mingxi's physique is not as good as Xu Mingguang's.

"Alright, then let your Mingguang absorb the one from four hundred years ago. Grandpa will send some good stuff to Xiaomingxi when I get back."

Seeing that the sect leader had made a decision, Xu Chunmian naturally did not object. The star crown martial soul appeared on her head, and her first soul ring lit up.

Two beams of starlight shot out from the star crown, freezing two of the star-calling cicadas flying in the distance, while the others scattered and fled.

"Xiao Mingguang, kill the big Star-Calling Cicada."

As the heir of a major sect, he naturally has no soft heart. As long as humans need spirit rings, they will always be irreconcilable enemies with spirit beasts.

Xu Mingguang took out a dagger from his storage soul tool at his waist and stabbed the Star-Cicada directly through its body, ending its life.

He then sat cross-legged, his soul power flowing through his body, drawing in the yellow soul ring that appeared in the air.

A moment later, Xu Mingguang opened his eyes, his Star Crown Martial Soul lit up, and a yellow Soul Ring appeared above him.

Wherever Xu Mingguang's gaze fell, his soul rings lit up, and golden light shot out from the star crown, instantly freezing the small insects crawling on the ground.

Xu Mingguang's first soul skill was none other than the Star Guiding Technique, which used starlight to lock onto the enemy, making it difficult for him to move.

Next up was Xu Mingxi. Although he had never even killed a chicken in his previous life, he knew that this was a necessary process to become an excellent Soul Master. With a swift stroke, he severed the head of the Star-Cicada.

Xu Mingxi then performed the same operation, and as the yellow spirit ring floated to the top of his head, he successfully obtained his first spirit ring.

"Mingxi, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

Before the sect leader could speak, Xu Mingguang skipped over to Xu Mingxi and asked with concern.

"Brother Mingguang, I'm fine, it's just that my soul skill doesn't seem to be Star Guiding Technique."

As he spoke, Xu Mingxi activated his martial soul, and his first soul ring lit up.

Suddenly, starlight poured down from the sky, covering Xu Mingxi as if she were wearing a garment woven from starlight.

The sect leader standing to the side was initially feeling sorry that Xu Mingxi had absorbed a bad soul skill this time, but upon seeing this scene, his pupils immediately contracted.

"Sect Master, my soul skill is called Star Summoning. It can draw starlight from the sky to increase my cultivation speed, but it doesn't seem to be very useful."

"No, no, Mingxi, your soul skill is very useful."

The sect leader waved for Xu Chunmian to leave, then picked up the two children and rushed towards the sect leader's main hall at the top of the mountain.

As the sect leader made his dash, the starlight left trails of afterimages in the sky.

As the sect leader returned to the main hall, the large bell in front of the hall rang out, signaling the summons of the elders for a meeting.

The six elders, who were cultivating or busy in various parts of Xingluo Mountain, immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the main hall.

"Sect Master, what has happened again? It's not because of these two little ones again, is it?" Xu Chunyi, the strongest among them, arrived first and looked at the two little radish heads standing behind the Sect Master with great curiosity.

"I'll speak with everyone here. Perhaps this is the hope for the Star Crown lineage to rise again."

Xu Chunyi was stunned. He knew that the two little girls had gone to hunt for their first spirit ring today. It seemed that one of them had a spirit ring that was not simple.

The Grand Elder didn't expect that both of them would be like that; the probability was simply too small.

Soon, the other five elders also arrived and sat down around Xu Mingxi and the other person.

"The reason I've called everyone here today is to discuss a very important matter concerning the fate of my Star Crown Sect."

Today I took Mingguang and Mingxi to Star Valley to obtain their first spirit rings. Mingguang's is the normal Star Guiding Technique.

But Mingxi's soul skill is called "Summoning Stars."

The other five elders were still in a daze. What was wrong with the Star Summoning Soul Skill? Was it bad or too good?

The eldest elder, sitting at the very front, seemed to have thought of something.

"Sect Master, are you referring to our ancestor, Star Douluo?"

"That's right, Star Douluo's soul power is as high as level 98, which is the highest soul power in the history of our Star Crown Sect. And his first soul skill is Star Summoning."

Overwhelmed with joy, the Grand Elder looked excitedly at his beloved grandson.

The sect leader ignored the old man who was ecstatic and spoke directly.

According to the notes, the ancestor made a mistake in choosing his soul rings and got stuck at level 98.

Now that he has his ancestor's cultivation manual, and Mingxi is born with full soul power, perhaps he can try to break through to that position.

The elders present all understood the sect leader's meaning: he was going to do everything he could to nurture Xu Mingxi.

Others naturally wouldn't object; it's a good thing for them too.

The sect leader nodded in satisfaction and turned to face Xu Mingguang.

"Mingguang, are you willing to protect your younger brother Mingxi forever?"

"Grandpa, I do."

Good child, I'm sorry you had to go through this.

"Next, Xu Mingguang will be the young sect leader. Please keep Mingxi's matter a secret."

Everyone present knew the seriousness of the matter; it was even more important than innate full soul power, so they naturally agreed.

Xu Mingxi stood quietly to the side. Although he was the main character in the incident, he really had no right to speak.

He could only clench his hands tightly, look at Xu Mingguang, and make up his mind to become stronger.

However, as a sect with titled Douluo, the Star Crown Sect wouldn't have so many people who are blind to its power.

The sect leader watched the two little radishes run off, his heart filled with boundless anticipation for the future.

But then he thought of the current situation on the mainland, and his smile vanished instantly.

Although the Star Crown Sect lives in seclusion, it still maintains connections with some other sects and families.

Recently, the Clear Sky Sect, which also possesses a top-tier weapon spirit, has been causing quite a stir.

Tang Chen, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, and Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall are known as the strongest in the world. His son broke through to the Title Douluo level a few years ago.

With Tang Chen and his son both holding the title of Douluo, the Clear Sky Sect is already known as the number one sect in the world, and the Clear Sky Hammer is also known as the number one weapon spirit in the world.

The Haotian Sect has seven Soul Douluo elders within its ranks, and four affiliated families and numerous smaller families attached to it, suppressing all those who dare to rebel.

Its momentum has completely overshadowed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which was supported by Yu Yuanzhen alone, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, which only had one Title Douluo.

The three upper sects, led by the Clear Sky Sect, and the Spirit Hall are locked in a standoff, while the Star Luo Empire is eyeing the Heaven Dou Empire with covetous intent. Undercurrents are already surging across the continent.

"These are turbulent times. I only hope that the situation on the mainland will not affect my Star Crown Sect."

Mingguang and Mingxi, these two children, still need a lot of time.

The sect leader stood alone in the main hall, all the pressure of the sect focused on him, and his hair had turned quite gray.

Mingxi was pulled out of the sect's main hall by Xu Mingguang. He followed behind, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to start.

In the end, he was silently escorted home by Xu Mingguang.
