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

The journey was tedious and long.

During the day, Bai Chen mostly closed his eyes to rest, but in reality, he silently circulated his soul power and meditated on the Heavenly Comet Dragon Martial Soul within his body.

Perhaps due to the special nature of the Heavenly Comet Dragon Martial Soul, he does not need to enter into deep meditation and cultivation to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into soul power.

However, it is not as efficient as deep meditation.

Even so, he felt that his cultivation efficiency was still far higher than the ordinary meditation methods recorded in his father's notes.

When camping at night, after finishing his dry rations, he would continue to hide in a corner of the tent and silently cultivate.

On the thirteenth day of the journey.

The caravan arrived at a satellite town on the outskirts of the Heavenly Dou Imperial City.

Manager Wang announced that the convoy would rest here for half a day.

A batch of valuable goods needs to be delivered to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the west of the city, and the goods need to be handed over and counted.

"Little one, we'll part ways here."

Manager Wang found Bai Chen and, unusually, spoke to him at length.

"Thirty miles further east is the gate of Tiandou City. The residence of the Li Clan is in the south of the city. Once you get to the city, just ask around."

"Be careful on the road. Although it is peaceful under the capital, do not flaunt your wealth."

"Thank you for your help along the way, steward."

Bai Chen bowed and thanked them again, then shouldered his small bundle and embarked on the final leg of his journey alone.

Thirty li is neither far nor near.

Bai Chen was not slow, but he was still young. After walking for about an hour, he had only walked halfway.

It was nearing noon, and the sun was getting increasingly intense.

Although there were trees providing shade on both sides of the official road, the long journey still left him sweating.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves and the rumble of wheels came from behind.

Bai Chen moved aside and looked back, only to see a light blue, elegantly decorated carriage slowly approaching.

The two horses pulling the carriage were exceptionally fine, with snow-white coats. The carriage walls seemed to be made of some special wood, exuding a cool and refreshing aura, making it particularly comfortable in the summer.

The driver was a solemn-looking middle-aged woman dressed in a light blue outfit, with a restrained aura; she was actually a Soul Master.

The carriage slowed down slightly as it passed Bai Chen.

A small, fair hand lifted the curtain of one of the car windows, revealing a delicate, beautiful face.

The girl looked to be six or seven years old. She had long, light blue hair styled into an elegant bun, and large, bright eyes that curiously observed Bai Chen walking alone by the roadside.

"Auntie, look, there's a little boy walking alone."

The girl's voice was clear and crisp as she turned and spoke into the car.

"Moon, don't lift the curtain so casually."

A gentle, soft female voice came from inside the car.

Then, another similar but slightly older face came closer to the window.

This is an eight or nine-year-old girl, with blue hair and blue eyes, but with a calmer demeanor.

She glanced at Bai Chen, then looked ahead and said softly.

"The sun is blazing; he'll likely get heatstroke walking alone."

The girl blinked and suddenly spoke to the woman driving the car.

"Aunt Rong, stop the car."

"Moon?" The older girl asked, slightly surprised.

"Sister Bing'er, let him give us a ride. We're going to Tian Dou City anyway, it's on the way."

The girl called Yue'er said with a smile, then turned to look out of the car.

"Hey sir, are you heading into town? We can give you a ride!"

Bai Chen stopped and looked at the carriage.

By the car window, two similar little faces looked at him side by side, their eyes clear and filled with the innocent kindness of children.

The middle-aged woman driving the car glanced back at him, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment before turning back to the car, as if asking a question.

"Let him come up."

Inside the car, another, more mature and elegant female voice rang out, carrying a hint of casualness.

"He's just a child, but the sun is really scorching."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Shuiyue cheered, opened the car door, and waved to Bai Chen.

"Hey bro, come on up!"

Bai Chen hesitated for a moment.

He didn't want to cause any trouble, but as the girl said, the sun was blazing and walking alone was indeed exhausting.

Moreover, the carriage was luxurious, and the owner had an extraordinary air about him, unlike a wicked person.

After a moment's thought, he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you, then I'll take my leave."

As you board the carriage, a refreshing breeze hits you, instantly invigorating you.

The interior of the carriage was more spacious than it appeared from the outside, with soft light blue velvet carpets, cool cushions woven from ice silk on the seats, and a small ice jade incense burner in the corner, emitting a faint minty fragrance.

There were three people in the car. Besides a pair of blue-haired sisters, there was a woman who looked to be in her late twenties. She was wearing a light blue palace dress, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament that carried a hint of aloofness.

She was holding a book when she saw Bai Chen come in. She looked up at him, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

What a beautiful child.

This was Shui Linglong's first impression.

The boy was about six or seven years old, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but they were clean, with fair skin and exquisitely beautiful features.

Especially his eyes, clear and calm, completely unlike the innocent look a child of this age should have.

What caught her attention even more was...

Upon closer inspection, she sensed a powerful and ancient aura emanating from the boy, which caused her Water Flying Phoenix Martial Soul to tremble.

"Hey buddy, sit here!"

Shuiyue patted the empty seat next to her enthusiastically, then pointed to the older girl.

"This is my older sister, Shui Bing'er. I am Shui Yue'er."

"This is my sister's and my aunt, and she's also the dean of Tianshui Academy!"

Are Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sisters?

And... Tianshui College?

What a coincidence!

Bai Chen was surprised.

Unexpectedly, I ran into the popular characters from the original work, the Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sisters, here.

"Greetings, Dean Shui, Miss Bing'er, and Miss Yue'er."

Bai Chen sat down in the empty seat, his posture neither humble nor arrogant.

"My name is Bai Chen, thank you for the ride."

"Bai Chen?"

Shui Linglong put down her book, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"No need for formalities, it's just on my way."

"Are you going to Heaven Dou City alone to visit relatives and friends?"

"Yes, my father instructed me before he passed away to go to the Li clan and seek refuge with an elder."

Bai Chen lowered his eyelashes and answered softly.

This excuse has been used many times on the road, so it flows naturally.

"The Power Clan?"

Shui Linglong's eyebrows were slightly raised.

Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, is renowned for his strength and forging skills. He is a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse and has connections with forces such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

If this boy is indeed a distant relative of the Power Clan, then it makes sense.

However… she sensed the faint yet peculiar energy fluctuations emanating from Bai Chen once more, and her doubts remained.

This aura is unlike the fierce and powerful style of the Power Clan.

"I know about the Power Clan!"

Shuiyue'er exclaimed joyfully.

"The weapons they forge are amazing! My aunt has a short sword that Grandpa Titan forged himself!"

Shui Bing'er gently tugged at her sister's sleeve, signaling her to be quiet, and then looked at Bai Chen, her voice soft.

"Brother Bai Chen, where did you come from? How long did it take you to get here?"

"We came from near Soto City in the Kingdom of Barak and traveled with a caravan for nearly half a month."

Bai Chen replied.

"That far?"

Shui Bing'er slightly widened her eyes.

Are you alone?

My father has passed away, and I have no other relatives.

Bai Chen said briefly, unwilling to discuss his background further.

Seeing his slightly gloomy expression, Shui Bing'er assumed that she had stirred up some sad memories for him, so she stopped asking and instead talked about the scenery along the way.

Shui Yue'er chattered on and on, asking questions about Barak's local customs and how old Bai Chen was and whether he had awakened his martial soul.

"I just awakened last month," Bai Chen replied.

"Really? My sister and I awakened last month too!"

Shuiyue'er said excitedly.

"My older sister is amazing! She has innate level nine soul power! I'm level seven! What about you, little brother?"

"Moon".

Shui Linglong gently stopped her.

Asking someone directly about their soul power is somewhat impolite.

But her gaze toward Bai Chen also carried a hint of inquiry.

This child's demeanor is truly unlike that of an ordinary child who has just awakened his martial spirit.

Bai Chen hesitated for a moment.

In response to Shuiyue'er's inquiry.

To be cautious, it's definitely better not to say anything.

However, the kindness and friendliness shown by the Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sisters along the way made it difficult for him to refuse.

He's always been the kind of person who, if I show him respect, he'll repay me threefold.

The character of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Bai Chen still told the truth.

"By sheer luck, I possess innate full soul power."
