Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 91 Surprise Attack on Sunrise

Xu Mingxi told the three elders about his current requirements for the ninth spirit ring. He thought he would need to search for information about 100,000-year-old spirit beasts again, but the first elder gave him a big surprise.

When the Grand Elder was collecting information on 100,000-year-old soul beasts in Mingdu, Xu Mingxi needed soul beasts related to the sun, but she also bought information on other 100,000-year-old soul beasts along the way.

"A spirit beast related to Silver Moon? I have information about it, but this spirit beast is quite special; it's a sea spirit beast."

"A sea spirit beast? Does it have a fixed habitat?"

"Yes, it is a 100,000-year-old silver moon dolphin that mainly lives near an island in the southeastern sea. However, this information is from five or six years ago, and we cannot guarantee that it is still around today."

Xu Mingxi frowned slightly. Sea spirit beasts were definitely one of the spirit beasts that spirit masters least wanted to hunt, as they could escape too easily.

In the ocean, if the strength is similar, it is impossible for a non-sea spirit master to catch up with a sea spirit beast. It is very likely that they will fight for a long time but end up wasting their energy.

Not to mention the 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Dolphin. Putting aside whether they could defeat it in the sea, even if they managed to, the intelligent creature would immediately flee if it sensed danger, making the chances of capturing it extremely slim.

"Grandpa, is there any news about other suitable 100,000-year-old soul beasts?"

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, looked at Xu Mingxi for a long time, hesitated to speak, and finally nodded.

"Yes, but that was news from decades ago. A Soul Douluo once saw a silver-bodied wolf king in the largest Soul Beast Forest within the Oran Empire."

At that time, it was hunting a 90,000-year-old fiery lion. With a roar towards the sky, the silver moonlight shone down, and the wolf king, swift as lightning, killed the fiery lion in a single bite.

"Grandpa, do you have to exaggerate like that? Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast wouldn't be able to deal with a 90,000-year-old soul beast so easily."

"What do you know, you little brat? This is all from intelligence reports, supposedly based on that Contra's personal account. It's been so long, we don't even know if Silver Wolf is still around."

If what the intelligence says is true, then that Moon-Worshipping Wolf King was already over 100,000 years old. I didn't even want to tell you about it.

When the Grand Elder first received this news, he put it aside because it was far too dangerous. Decades had passed, and who knew how much the silver wolf had grown?

But Xu Mingxi didn't want to give up. He wanted to try even if there was only a sliver of a chance. If he could hunt down this Moon Worshiping Wolf King, it would greatly increase his chances of becoming a god.

"Grandpa, let's go take a look. Even if we can't defeat them, we should be able to retreat with ease."

Silver Moon Dolphins are hard to find, and even harder to catch; it seems their only option now is this Moon Worshiping Wolf King.

Moreover, the bloodline of the Moon Worship Wolf is not top-tier, not even comparable to the Yangyan Crow, let alone the overlords among soul beasts like the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

With the strength of the four of them, as long as the Moon Worshiping Wolf King's age does not exceed 200,000 years, they can still escape even if they can't defeat him.

Even without acquiring his ninth spirit ring, Xu Mingxi's strength has already reached the level of a Title Douluo. He could easily defeat weaker Title Douluos like those with Serpent Spear and Bloodthorn. The only reason he can't beat Xu Zilong is because Xu Zilong's martial spirit is among the strongest on the continent, and he's wearing several compatible spirit tools. Let alone Xu Mingxi, even Bone Douluo might suffer a major setback.

Seeing that Xu Mingxi had made up his mind, the elder could not say anything more, since their main purpose in coming here was to make him stronger.

"Mingxi, we can go hunt this Moon Worshiping Wolf King, but before that, we need to steal some level 8 soul tools."

Ever since being driven to the brink of despair by a group of Soul Douluos using Soul Tools, the Grand Elder has been filled with longing for such things. After arriving in Haidu, he even collected a lot of information about Soul Tools through Song Jiang.

He has even taught himself to become a Level 2 Soul Master, and making some simple standard Soul Tools is no problem for him.

As for where to snatch level-eight soul tools, the Grand Elder had already figured it out. Sunrise City, which had trapped them, was a good choice. As a major city of the Sun Moon Empire, it had multiple soul tool research institutes and definitely had a lot of good stuff.

Sunrise City? Is it really not that you want revenge for losing your arm back then? But that's not bad either.

Xu Mingxi's inability to deal with Xu Zilong for the time being does not mean that he is without anger. It would be good to vent his anger while he is seizing the soul tool.

He nodded to the three elders, and before setting off, he didn't forget to find Song Jiang one last time, as they had another important matter to attend to.

"Brother Song Jiang, could you please check in Haidu to see if there's any navigational soul tool that's more advanced than the Shark Tooth, or any soul tool that could help us return to Douluo Continent?"

"Young Master Xu, are you preparing to return? Alright, I'll go find a way right away."

After bidding farewell to Song Jiang, Xu Mingxi and the three elders immediately set off for Sunrise City. He had been unconscious in the Demon Forest for half a year, and eight years had passed since he set sail years ago. Time was really running out.

The four returned to the outskirts of Sunrise City in just two days. The city wall that the Grand Elder had breached had been repaired, and the soldiers guarding the city had become much more relaxed, as if nothing had ever happened.

When Xu Mingxi, who was wearing a mask, entered the city, he was asked to take it off for inspection. The soldiers guarding the city gate glanced at him and exclaimed that it was bad luck, then waved him in.

Xu Mingxi was not angry and obediently walked into Risheng City. Before entering, he took a deep look at the soldier and memorized his appearance and the position of his post.

The residents of Sunrise City had forgotten the chaos of the past and returned to their daily lives. The city was once again bustling with activity, with crowds thronging the streets and alleys. Xu Mingxi took one last look at the scene before taking the three elders to the hotel closest to the city lord's mansion.

"Mingxi, the city lord of Sunrise City is an 86th-level offensive Soul Douluo. He is also an 8th-level Soul Master who is skilled in using Soul Guidance Cannons. We can easily take care of him."

"Alright, we'll split up tonight. Grandpa, you and Ninth Elder will attack the Sunrise Soul Tool Research Institute, the largest in the city, and seize all the soul tool data. Eighth Elder and I will raid the City Lord's Mansion."

Xu Mingxi knew that if the four of them attacked the Sunrise City Lord this time, it would inevitably trigger another large-scale manhunt by the Sun Moon Empire. This time, those city lords would not be perfunctory; they needed to obtain as many high-level soul tools and blueprints as possible this time, and perhaps this was their only chance.
