Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 110 The Radiant Unicorn!

Zhu Ziyang never expected that he would be so lucky yet so unlucky to encounter a soul beast like the Starry Unicorn.

The reason for his good fortune is that the Starry Unicorn is a perfect soul ring for the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Scythe. The Starry Unicorn is the king of the unicorn race, possessing both light and holy attributes like all unicorns. Starry Unicorns are extremely rare; there are probably no more than ten in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, yet Zhu Ziyang encountered two at once.

It was unfortunate because he encountered the Starry Unicorn alone. As a top-tier soul beast with a super bloodline, the Starry Unicorn possessed formidable combat power. Normally, a Starry Unicorn with over 30,000 years of cultivation could easily fight the Ghost Moon Forest Serpent King to a standstill. Zhu Ziyang, a mere quasi-Soul Master, was simply no match for it.

Zhu Ziyang could only swallow hard, staring at the two unicorns from a distance of tens of meters. He could only pray that the personality of the Starry Unicorn described in the book was true, that it was indeed a kind and benevolent beast that hated war. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to let Electrox continue to overdraw his energy to help him escape.

"Ziyang, reveal your ultimate light!" Electrox suddenly said.

"Huh?" Zhu Ziyang was taken aback, not understanding.

"Although the worlds are different, unicorns all love creatures with the attribute of light, and that should be a common point," Electrox explained. "Your ultimate light is an inviolable and sacred miracle to any unicorn, so if you let these two Starry Unicorns feel your light aura, they certainly won't make things difficult for you. They might even lead you to find your companions."

"Huh? That can't be right! They're soul beasts, and I'm a soul master!" Zhu Ziyang said incredulously.

"Heh! The degree of faith a unicorn has in the light is something that no so-called soul beast or soul master can surpass in hatred," Ilex sneered.

"Well, I'll give it a try." Zhu Ziyang was skeptical, but he could only release a wisp of light with the idea of ​​giving it a shot.

A radiant and sacred aura emanated from Zhu Ziyang, like a divine revelation in the dark, lightless forest, filling him with a sense of sacred inviolability.

Two Starry Unicorns slowly walked towards Zhu Ziyang. Zhu Ziyang was extremely nervous until he saw the extreme piety in the eyes of the large Starry Unicorn, which calmed him down a little.

They approached Zhu Ziyang, the head of the two Starry Unicorns less than an inch from his face, and Zhu Ziyang could clearly feel its breath. The two Starry Unicorns stopped and, to Zhu Ziyang's utter astonishment, slowly knelt down, their proud heads bowed, their translucent horns exposed to him without any defense. They were like tamed horses, kneeling obediently before Zhu Ziyang.

"This..." Zhu Ziyang was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

"Reach out and touch its horn," Electrolux said at the right moment, reminding Zhu Ziyang.

"Oh, oh!" Zhu Ziyang did as he was told, somewhat blankly. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, one that had never been mentioned in any books.

When Zhu Ziyang's hand touched the unicorn's forehead, the pure horn instantly emitted a soft light, and then a gentle female voice echoed in his mind: "Supreme and noble Son of Light, the King of the Unicorn Clan of Star Dou Forest submits to you!"

This… Zhu Ziyang’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene.

"Teacher, did you already know this would happen?" he immediately asked the Electrox in his mind.

"Hehe~ I was just guessing." Electrox chuckled. "Indeed, all unicorns are the same. When I was young, I also had a unicorn submit to me. For us Children of Light, who represent the ultimate light, unicorns are absolutely loyal partners."

"I see!" Zhu Ziyang was truly enlightened and said, "Teacher, what should I do next?"

"Just accept it," Electrolux said.

"Understood." Zhu Ziyang looked at the Great Starry Unicorn and said, "I accept your submission. Stand up."

"Thank you for your recognition!" The Starry Unicorn's voice was filled with joy after receiving Zhu Ziyang's reply. It then stood up and nuzzled Zhu Ziyang affectionately. The little Starry Unicorn followed suit, sticking out its head to nuzzle Zhu Ziyang as well.

Being treated so respectfully by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, Zhu Ziyang was somewhat flattered. He asked, "How did you manage to find me?"

"It is your radiant source that guides me," the Great Star Unicorn replied.

"???" Zhu Ziyang looked surprised. The book didn't mention that the Starry Unicorn had such an ability. But then he thought that the information about the Starry Unicorn was less than a hundred words long, so he understood.

The Great Starry Unicorn ignored Zhu Ziyang's surprise and asked respectfully, "Respected Son of Light, are you here to find a Soul Ring?"

"..." This question left Zhu Ziyang speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to answer. He wanted to lie, but he couldn't bear to deceive such a devout believer, so he could only remain silent.

"Revered Child of Light, you need not take it to heart. It is an honor for those lowly soul beasts to become your soul rings." Seeing Zhu Ziyang's silence, the Great Star Radiance Unicorn comforted him very gently.

This really broke Zhu Ziyang's guard. This Starry Unicorn was incredibly considerate, even taking the initiative to defend him. Such a loyal follower was truly rare. Zhu Ziyang smiled and said, "I am indeed here to find a spirit ring. My Light Martial Soul has reached a bottleneck and needs a spirit ring to break through."

As he spoke, he released the Scythe of Peace and Destiny, its intense aura of light instantly exciting the Great Starry Unicorn and the Little Starry Unicorn. He continued, "This is my Martial Soul, the Scythe of Peace and Destiny!"

"Revered Child of Light, I can sense your power; it seems you haven't yet completed your breakthrough," the Great Star Radiant Unicorn said excitedly. "May I ask for your grace?"

Zhu Ziyang was taken aback upon hearing this, then said with a wry smile, "What do you want? If I can do it, I certainly won't refuse."

Originally, Zhu Ziyang was prepared for a hefty price to pay, but he didn't expect the Great Star Radiant Unicorn's next words to almost make him collapse. The Great Star Radiant Unicorn said, "I hope to become your spirit ring!"

The Great Starry Unicorn's eyes were filled with longing and hope as it gazed at Zhu Ziyang with watery eyes, as if begging him not to refuse.

However, Zhu Ziyang was stunned, unable to believe his ears. He stared blankly at the Great Starry Unicorn and said, "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Honorable Child of Light, I, the King of the Starry Unicorns of the Star Dou Great Forest, request to become your Soul Ring!" The Great Starry Unicorn stood up straight and spoke in an extremely solemn voice.

Zhu Ziyang finally realized what was happening, instinctively feeling that all of this was too absurd. A soul beast actually wanted to become his soul ring; this was the second outrageous event he had encountered after the 100,000-year-old soul beast voluntarily sacrificed itself.

"Ziyang, don't refuse her!" Electrox warned. "Starry Unicorns are extremely proud. If their submission is rejected, they could easily fall into becoming Nightmare Beasts!"

"Starry Unicorn, I really want to agree to your request, but your cultivation level has exceeded my limit." Zhu Ziyang said with a wry smile. He had heard Electrolux's reminder, but he still chose to tell the truth.

"Honorable Child of Light, you need not worry about that!" The Great Starry Unicorn's eyes lit up, and it immediately said, "I will cooperate with you! We Starry Unicorns are highly compatible with you, and we can completely ignore the limitations of the Soul Ring's age!"

"This..." Zhu Ziyang had nothing to say after hearing this, so he could only reply, "Since that's the case, then I agree. By the way, what is your cultivation level?"

"Thank you for your grace!" The Great Starry Unicorn replied with surprise and excitement in its eyes, "My cultivation level is fifty thousand years."

"Fifty thousand years!" Zhu Ziyang was somewhat numb. The fourth soul ring he could currently withstand had a lifespan of no more than fifteen thousand years. This Great Star Radiance Unicorn in front of him was actually a soul beast with a cultivation of fifty thousand years. Could he really withstand it?

"Ziyang, don't worry." Electrox gave him confidence. "When you absorb the spirit ring, I will help you refine the life force of the first three spirit rings. With the feedback and strengthening of this life force, it will be more than enough for you to absorb the spirit ring of this Starry Unicorn."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang no longer hesitated and immediately asked the Great Starry Unicorn, "When do we start?"

"I will obey your command." The Great Starry Unicorn handed over the decision-making power to Zhu Ziyang.

"Listen to me?" Zhu Ziyang suddenly had an idea and said, "Then can you come with me to find my companions first?"

"As you command!" replied the Great Starry Unicorn.
