Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

"When did it first appear?" Wang Xian'er and Xu Jiujiu looked at each other in bewilderment.

Neither of them knew why Xia Die was pursuing this Antillin Flower so thoroughly.

Wang Xian'er thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the exact time, but it definitely didn't happen 20 years ago."

"After I returned from my visit to Antirhyn, I inquired about this matter with the other devotees."

They all shook their heads at this.

"So that's how it is."

Xia Die nodded slightly, her eyes flickering, lost in thought.

This was just a minor incident.

As they spoke, the four arrived at a small town near the Star Dou Great Forest. After parking their vehicle, they continued deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Miss Jiu Jiu, Miss Xia Die," Wang Xian'er said in a serious tone, "A week ago, a small-scale riot of soul beasts occurred in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Once you enter the Star Dou Great Forest, do not stray more than half a meter from us."

After a long while, she nodded gently, while Xia Die, who was walking beside her, seemed lost in thought.

A week ago?

Wasn't that when she met Huo Yuhao in the Star Dou Great Forest?

Manyi and Wang Xian'er walked one after the other.

By placing Xia Die and Xu Jiujiu in the middle, this formation can prevent being unable to cope with unexpected situations.

The Star Dou Great Forest, especially the Star Dou Great Forest where a soul beast uprising occurred not long ago.

Even the two titled Douluo dared not be too careless.

"If it weren't for the anomalies in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Shrek Academy people might have already come to Star Luo City." Walking through the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Xian'er rarely sighed.

A look of surprise flashed across Xia Die's face. Seeing this, Wang Xian'er explained, "The matter of the darkness enveloping Xingluo City has caused quite a stir, and Shrek Academy wants to meddle in other people's business."

"A college is actually in charge of the country."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Xia Die analyzed Wang Xian'er's words, but did not reply.

Shrek's arrival in Star Luo City to investigate was not unexpected by Xia Die. The fact that they haven't come now is probably because they are worried about the beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Miss Xia Die, what is the required age of the Soul Ring?" Wang Xian'er asked.

"A thousand years old is fine."

"A thousand... a thousand years?"

"Hmm." Xia Die nodded gently. "I killed a thousand-year-old soul beast when I was collecting herbs in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"If we can kill it, we should be able to absorb it!"

"However, I had not awakened my martial soul at that time."

The three of them looked at each other again.

Killing a thousand-year-old soul beast without awakening a martial soul?

Are you sure? This isn't a novel?

"Xia Die, did you come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone?" Xu Jiujiu's eyes flickered with shock, and he even subconsciously ignored the honorifics.

"Yes," Xia Die replied, "My teacher was probably there too."

"However, I killed that soul beast all by myself."

"My teacher told me that if I can't kill a thousand-year-old soul beast before I awaken my martial soul, then there's no point in awakening my martial soul. I'm too useless, and it's a waste of time to teach me."

Xu Jiujiu and the other two: "..."

This is profound meaning, absolutely profound meaning.

Are there any children on the mainland who can kill thousand-year-old soul beasts without awakening their martial soul?

"There's no need to be too surprised," Xia Die said earnestly. "I studied with my teacher for six years before I awakened my martial soul, and I can be said to have inherited most of my teacher's self-defense skills, except for soul power cultivation."

"After six years of medicinal baths, my body is not weak."

"Uh, what did you learn?"

After a long while, she subconsciously pressed for an answer, but then realized she had been too presumptuous.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's nothing." Xia Die shook her head. "What I'm learning isn't anything that needs to be kept secret."

"Some alchemy techniques, some pharmacology, some alchemy, and the making of soul tools."

"Alchemy, pill refining?" Wang Xian'er was a little confused.

Is it worth spending six years learning these things?

Without awakening one's martial spirit, one's mental and physical strength probably won't be very strong!

But when she thought about how Xia Die could fight a thousand-year-old soul beast single-handedly without awakening her martial soul, and how she now had innate level 20 soul power, she was speechless.

Indeed, the ways in which the world's strongest individuals teach their disciples vary greatly.

For example, Shrek uses running exercises. Although she still doesn't know how much benefit that kind of purely intensive running exercises will have in the future, perhaps its existence is justified.

"Since that's the case..."

Wang Xian'er placed her hand on her storage soul tool.

Two thick notebooks landed in his hands, and he handed them to Xia Die.

"Miss Xia Die, I have no way to repay your teacher for the help I have received."

"These are some insights I've gained over many years as a healing-type Soul Master, along with my understanding and mastery of pharmacology and medicinal herbs. I'm sharing them with you today."

Xia Die was taken aback upon hearing this, looking at the two ancient-looking books.

The title of the number one healing-type Soul Master on the continent is naturally highly valuable. His notes and even the pharmacology of medicinal herbs are priceless treasures. Xia Die was still thinking about how to gain a detailed understanding of the medicinal herbs in Douluo Continent.

Different medicinal herbs vary from place to place, and we need to learn these differences to truly understand them.

Xia Die took the two notebooks and flipped through them lightly.

Yes, it's something I need.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency the Healer."

Seeing that Xia Die had put the things away, Wang Xian'er immediately smiled broadly: "Miss Xia Die, you're too kind."

"If I could get your teacher to put in a good word for me, and if I could learn from that senior, it would be a truly remarkable thing for me."

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Healer, I will tell my teacher."

"That's good." Wang Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief.

The four continued their journey into the Star Dou Great Forest.

After walking for several hours, they still hadn't found the soul beast that Xia Die needed.

However, this is normal.

It's common to spend a month and a half hunting spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings.

"Um?"

Wang Xian'er is now a level 96 Title Douluo, and with her previous rough grasp of the elements of death, she is relatively sensitive to the energy of death aura in the outside world.

"Three kilometers to the west, there is an Antichrist flower," Wang Xian'er said, looking at Xia Die for her opinion.

It's uncertain whether Xia Die will absorb the Netherworld Ghost Butterfly or the Antichrist Flower first, as she needs to absorb two soul rings.

"Then let's go."

Xia Die didn't care about the established rules, but she was quite curious about the Antichrist flower.

This is the area of ​​thousand-year-old soul beasts; ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts usually don't appear here.

The aura of the two Title Douluos spread so far that the surrounding soul beasts dared not approach, and even stayed away from their path.

"A ten-thousand-year-old Vinelight Blood Tiger!" Manyi exclaimed.

Encountering a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in the millennium soul beast zone is surprising, especially since the Vine Light Blood Tiger is a rare tiger-type soul beast with the light attribute.

In the Star Luo Empire, it's normal to be unfamiliar with other spirit beasts, but people are usually very knowledgeable about tiger-type spirit beasts.

The stable Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Technique—this is the foundation of Star Luo.

"Not just ten thousand years, at least twenty thousand years." Wang Xian'er continued, her gaze quietly fixed on the soul beast, which was over three meters tall and had red and white fur all over its body.

The soul beast lay quietly on the ground, its skull pried open, its brain seemingly eaten, with the remaining bits of brain matter scattered on the ground, already dried.

Clearly, this mindless soul beast had been dead for some time.

But what's most surprising isn't that; this Vinelight Blood Tiger still retains the fear and rage it felt before its death.

Those resentments soared to the heavens.

Not far from the dead Vinelight Blood Tiger, a blue-purple flower swayed in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance.

It appears to have grown from the dried blood of this tiger.
