Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 53 An Encounter

Xu Nian was once the leader of a mercenary group, a level 79 offensive-type Soul Saint, who was very lucky to obtain a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Bone during a Soul Hunt.

After absorbing the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, he broke through the bottleneck and reached level eighty. He was only one soul ring away from becoming a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, and could be considered a powerful figure in the Douluo Continent.

So he began to organize his men to prepare for the Soul Hunt. The Soul Douluo level experts ignored him, but the Soul Masters below the Soul Douluo level were somewhat wary of him because of the complete annihilation of his previous mercenary group.

In the end, after a long time, the effect was minimal. Apart from him, the only other person in the team was a low-level Soul Saint who had been lured in with a large sum of money.

He originally thought that with the team of two Soul Saints, four Soul Emperors, and six Soul Kings, he would be able to hunt a Soul Beast that was 40,000 to 50,000 years old as his eighth Soul Ring.

But unexpectedly, before they could find a suitable soul beast, a 60,000-year-old bald vulture came knocking on their door.

Relying on their advantage of flight, apart from Xu Nian, the other Soul Masters couldn't do much. They could only stick together to prevent the Bald Vulture's attack while watching Xu Nian get beaten up.

Seeing that Xu Nian was not low-level, the low-level Soul Saint led his team to retreat and escape from the Star Dou Great Forest. Xu Nian, however, was relentlessly pursued by the Bald Vulture. It sensed that as long as it devoured the human in front of it, it could soon become an 80,000-year-old Soul Beast.

Xu Nian was also determined. The bloodline of the giant eagle was already above that of the bald eagle. If he wanted to eat him, he would leave him as a spirit ring.

The enormous roar of their battle caught the attention of a woman in a pink dress deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, and she soon arrived at the edge of their confrontation.

The woman looked at the humans who had entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts with disgust, as well as the bald vulture that loved to eat Soft Bone Rabbits. She wished that both of them would die here.

So, taking advantage of the battle, she summoned nine spirit rings behind her and kicked each of them, sending them crashing into the ground.

What Xu Mingxi and the others saw was this scene of a beautiful woman displaying her power, but only he knew who this woman with scorpion braids, wearing a pink dress, and appearing alone deep in the Star Dou Great Forest was.

"Who is it? Show yourself."

The arrival of Xu Mingxi and the others could be kept from Xu Nian, but it could not be kept from the woman who was a titled Douluo. She kicked Xu Nian, who had gotten up, back into the ground and watched Xu Mingxi and the others warily.

Xu Mingxi reached out to stop the sect leader from stepping forward. In the Star Dou Great Forest, the woman in front of him was one of the most dangerous beasts to provoke.

Xu Nian can be killed at any time, but if he provokes the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, it won't be so easy to deal with.

Although these two beasts are probably not yet 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it's only a matter of time before they become so. Now, relying on their powerful bloodlines, ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts are no match for them.

Xu Mingxi did have the idea of ​​taking action against the two rabbits and the two soul beasts behind them, but not now. They were only three titled beings, no match for these beasts.

"We were just passing by. We assume you've already resolved the matter, so we won't disturb you any longer."

Xu Mingxi didn't wait for the woman's response and left first, signaling the sect leader and the others to follow. Not long after, they heard the roar of a giant ape.

The woman stood there quietly watching Xu Mingxi and the others leave. She could sense the powerful strength of the people opposite her, and even she felt a strong threat from one of them. It was a good thing that they were willing to leave.

She kicked Xu Nian, who had just gotten up again, into the ground. This time, he was completely still. The bald eagle, lying on the ground severely injured, was also torn to pieces by the arriving Titan ape. The woman jumped onto the Titan ape's shoulder and returned to the Lake of Life. If she could, she hoped that no humans would ever disturb the peace here again.

"Mingxi, what just happened?"

"Sect Master, that woman just now wasn't human! No, she was a soul beast transformed into a human!"

The group rushed out of the Star Dou Great Forest. Only then did the sect leader ask Xu Mingxi about what had just happened. He clearly wanted to kill the person who had been kicked into the ground with his own hands, so why did he give up in the end?

Xu Mingxi's answer was unexpected by everyone; there really was a soul beast that could be reborn as a human and even become a Title Douluo.

Everyone tacitly refrained from asking Xu Mingxi how she knew. Dugu Bo returned to Tiandou City, while the Xingguan Sect members headed towards Xingluo Mountain.

Xu Mingxi consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and with the combined effects of the Yangyan Crow's sacrifice, even though most of the energy was used for the mutation of his martial soul, his soul power had already directly reached level 74.

This speed of progress left even the sect leader speechless. It was simply too fast. Perhaps in just a few years, the Star Crown Sect would gain another elder.

The sect leader was in a very good mood throughout the journey. Even when he was attacked by a group of ignorant bandits, he was able to carry them away with a smile.

Unfortunately, his good mood was completely shattered when he returned to the Star Crown Sect. The Star Luo Emperor personally came to invite the Star Crown Sect Master to Star Luo City for a chat.

This looks exactly like a trap. Although it's not about killing the sect leader, there must be some difficult things for him to do.

I definitely can't refuse, I can only go and see what the situation is, and then take it one step at a time.

The sect leader entrusted the sect affairs to several elders of the Chun generation and set off for Xingluo City. As for Xu Mingxi, the young sect leader, his main task now is cultivation.

The old man, Xunxingteng, quietly peeked out from the star tree and carefully observed Xu Mingxi sitting cross-legged below.

He was surprised to find that even though it was daytime and the starlight and moonlight of the night had been lost, Xu Mingxi's cultivation speed had not decreased much.

He could sense that the light the boy had guided during the day was not starlight at all. The vines swept around and precisely captured a trace of golden-red light from the seemingly white light.

This is sunlight!!! How is this possible?

Old Master Teng looked at Xu Mingxi in astonishment. This was simply too outrageous. How could a human possibly control the three lights of the sun, moon, and stars? This was even more incredible than a soul beast.

The captured sunlight gradually seeped into Elder Teng's body, nourishing his entire soul beast. Although it couldn't compare to the essence of moonlight, it was gentler, longer-lasting, and more abundant.

The sunlight that Xu Mingxi guided during the day shone on the old vines and old trees, which could even slightly accelerate their growth. They had never liked the daytime so much.
