Douluo Continent: The Silver Winged Star, a Night of Clan Extermination at the Start!

"Senior Flander,"

Bai Chen interrupted him, his tone polite yet firm.

"I appreciate your appreciation, but this matter is of great importance to me, so please allow me to consider it carefully before making a decision."

He bowed slightly and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Flander wanted to say something more.

But Bai Chen had already turned and left after saying goodbye.

"Hmph! Brother Chen, you really don't know what's good for you!"

Behind him, Ma Hongjun was very angry and shouted.

"Professor Flander is a Soul Saint! A Soul Saint! How could you refuse?"

Bai Chen glanced back at Ma Hongjun but didn't say anything.

Flander was left standing there, his expression unpredictable.

Outside the Martial Soul Branch Hall, the villagers who had gathered around were discussing the matter animatedly.

"Has the Bai family brat gone mad? The Soul Saint wanted to take him as a disciple, and he actually refused?"

"Yeah, what a great opportunity!"

"Sigh, he's an adopted child after all, so he might not be very bright..."

Bai Chen ignored the surrounding discussions and went straight home.

Bai Chen's adoptive parents were feeding chickens in the yard when they saw him return and rushed over to greet him.

"Xiao Chen, how's it going? Have you awakened your soul power yet?"

"I can't wait to hear it," Xie Chunlan, the foster mother, asked anxiously.

Bai Chen nodded: "It has soul power, and it's even innate full soul power."

"real?!"

Lin Dashan, the adoptive father, was both surprised and delighted.

"Great! Great! Our family is going to produce a Soul Master!"

"The one who awakened our martial soul was a Soul Saint. He also wanted to recruit me into his Soul Master Academy, but I did not agree to become his disciple."

Bai Chen did not hide anything.

Therefore, the villagers thought he made a big mistake.

Therefore, there will definitely be a lot of discussion at the meeting.

The adoptive parents will find out sooner or later.

The adoptive parents were stunned, then sighed.

"Are you worried about tuition fees, kid?"

"Don't worry, your parents will sell everything we own to send you to the Soul Master Academy!"

"It's not about the money."

"This place isn't right for me!"

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I have plans and ideas for the future."

Bai Chen shook his head, offering no further explanation.

He walked back to his simple little house and pulled a wooden box from under the bed.

Inside the box was a faded bracelet, the last thing his mother left him—a storage soul tool.

For six years, he tried countless times to activate it with his soul power, but all his attempts failed.

Activating this soul tool requires at least one level of soul power.

Today, he finally gained soul power.

Bai Chen took a deep breath and poured the meager soul power he had just awakened into the bracelet.

"Click".

With a soft sound, the bracelet emitted a faint glow, and he realized that he had sensed a space.

The space was small, about one cubic meter, and contained several items neatly arranged: a bag of gold soul coins, roughly estimated to be over a hundred; several yellowed books; a token engraved with a swift pattern; and a letter.

Bai Chen's hands trembled as he took out the letter. On the envelope was a line of delicate handwriting:

"To my son Bai Chen, if you can see this letter, it means you have grown up and awakened your soul power."

"There are some things your mother must tell you."

He opened the envelope, and his mother's handwriting came into view:

"Xiao Chen, by the time you read this letter, your mother and father may no longer be alive."

"Please forgive us for leaving you in this way, and please forgive your mother for breaking her promise to your father—I still told you the truth."

"Your surname is Bai, your given name is Chen, and you are the grandson of Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan. Your father, Bai Ming, is my husband. My name is Qing Ling, and I come from the Qing family of Tian Dou City. My martial soul is the Dragon Eagle."

"The Min clan suffered a great calamity, and the Spirit Hall, in retaliation against the Clear Sky Sect, purged our affiliated families."

"Your father lured away the pursuers alone to protect us, mother and son, and mother will soon pass away as well."

"The gold soul coin in the bracelet is the last gift your parents left you."

"That token is the identity certificate of the Min clan, and the books contain the family's basic cultivation methods and martial spirit knowledge."

"Xiao Chen, your mother knows that telling you this might burden you with heavy hatred."

"But after thinking it over, I believe you have the right to know your background and the right to know who you are."

"If you want a peaceful life, take this money, find a place to settle down, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life."

"If you choose the other path... then inquire about the Min clan, and go to the Min clan to find your grandfather (if the Min clan still exists)!"

Finally, whichever path you choose, remember: your mother and father will always love you, and our love will protect you through life and death.

"I will always love you, my mother."

"Qingling".

"Final Words"

The letter slipped from Bai Chen's hand, and he knelt down, tears welling up silently.

Although I already knew the truth, I was still deeply moved when I saw my mother's suicide note.

The excruciating pain almost overwhelmed him.

After a long while, Bai Chen wiped away his tears, carefully put away the letter, and put the bracelet on his wrist.

His choice was already made on that night six years ago.

That evening, the village elder, Gao Si, came to Bai Chen's house with some news.

"Xiao Chen, Hong Jun has been taken away by that Soul Saint. They say he's going directly to Shrek Academy to study."

"This way, the work-study student slots for our village to go to the Soto City Junior Soul Master Academy this year will be vacant."

"Since you have soul power, this spot will be yours."

Work-study students can enter the Soul Master Academy without tuition fees and offset their room and board expenses by completing academy work.

For ordinary families, this is the only way for their children to become Soul Masters.

"Thank you, Grandpa Gauss."

Bai Chen thanked him politely, but did not immediately agree.

After Old Gauss left, Bai Chen said to his adoptive parents.

"Father, Mother, I plan to go to Soto City, but not to the Junior Soul Master Academy."

"Where are you going?"

The adoptive father grew anxious: "Son, don't do anything foolish. These work-study student spots are hard to come by..."

"I have places I must go."

Bai Chen looked intently at his adoptive parents.

"Thank you for raising me all these years. I will definitely come back to see you after I finish my business."

As he spoke, he took out ten gold soul coins from his bracelet and placed them on the table.

The adoptive parents' eyes widened – ten gold soul coins would be enough for their family to live frugally for ten years!

"Where did you get this money?"

The adoptive father's voice trembled.

"It was left to me by my biological parents."

Bai Chen did not hide anything.

"Father, Mother, there are some things I can't say right now, but please believe me, I know what I'm doing."

The couple exchanged a glance and finally sighed.

"The child has grown up and has their own ideas now."

The foster mother wiped away her tears.

"Go, and remember... remember to come home."

"must."

The next morning, Bai Chen, carrying a simple bag, bid farewell to his adoptive parents at the entrance of Poultry Village and embarked on his journey to Soto City.

He planned to hire a carriage in Soto City to travel to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, and through the connections of the Li Clan, return to the Min Clan.

Although the Titans of the Power Clan are loyal servants of Tang Hao.

The future remains uncertain, with friend and foe uncertain.

But there was no other way.

Of the four major clans, he only remembered that the Power Clan was in the Heavenly Dou Imperial City.

Only by relying on the help of the Assistance Clan can we return to the Sensitive Clan.

Only then will his growth be smoother, and his plans for the future be able to unfold.

All he could say was that he would try his best not to owe anyone favors!

But before heading to the Heaven Dou Imperial City, he needed to figure out one thing first—what kind of power did the Heavenly Comet Dragon Martial Soul possess?

Having been a player of the Monster Hunter series in his previous life, Bai Chen was well aware of how terrifying the Celestial Comet was in the game.

That was an ancient dragon known as the "Calamity," capable of absorbing dragon vein energy and forming red dragon energy on its body. It could fly at supersonic speeds, and the force of its impact was enough to change the terrain.

But what will this martial soul be like in Douluo Continent?
