Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

What did the young master understand?

Ning Xingchen picked Qingyu up and carried her to the bed.

Ever since Ning Xingchen rescued her and the Qingyu Mercenary Group, a figure has lingered in her heart, and she has dreamed of being with him one day.

Compared to others, Qingyu felt somewhat inferior and kept her feelings hidden in her heart until she obtained the content of the second Black-level test.

She always felt that this situation was unreal, as if it could only happen in a dream.

Even Ning Xingchen himself didn't know that he had misunderstood Qingyu, thinking that Qingyu's divine test was the same as Bibi Dong's. Otherwise, why would he come so late and ask Qingyu to help him complete the divine test?

Qingyu pounced on him, which caused Ning Xingchen to misunderstand.

After all, this was the Sea God's test, and failing it could mean death. Ning Xingchen didn't hesitate and immediately began to take action.

Although Qingyu was nervous, she still complied.

After a night of passion, a beam of light fell from the sky, passed through Ning Xingchen's room, and landed on Qingyu, who was standing next to Ning Xingchen.

Just as expected, it worked!

Ning Xingchen thought to himself that these gods, having stayed in the God Realm for so long, all had some special ideas.

Little did they know that Qingyu's divine test only required kissing Ning Xingchen for half an incense stick's time, and there was no need to go through all this trouble.

Then a voice rang out.

"Exceeded the assessment target, Qingyu Purple Level Three Tests promoted to Black Level Four Tests".

This left Ning Xingchen speechless. This was an achievement that exceeded the assessment requirements and upgraded him to Black-level Thinking.

However, to be fair, Qingyu already possessed the ability and talent to pass the Black-level assessment, so the Purple-level third assessment was indeed a bit too low.

Compared to the Seven Sacred Pillars' talents, Qingyu's talent and the Azure Phoenix Martial Soul rank at least in the top three.

The purple-level assessment can yield one to three assessments, so Bai Chenxiang did not increase her assessment count after upgrading, while Qingyue did.

I must say, Poseidon is pretty good.

Could it be that Poseidon arranged this on purpose?

Qingyu's soul power increased. Originally, her soul power had increased to level 74 after the first test, but now, after increasing by one level, her soul power has reached level 75.

Qingyu was overjoyed that her wish had been fulfilled. Although the assessment content differed slightly, she wanted to keep this secret.

Ning Xingchen hugged Qingyu and whispered, "Qingyu, from today onwards you are my woman. You must work hard in your cultivation so that we can be together forever in the future."

"Mmm," Qingyu said shyly.

"Shall we continue?" Ning Xingchen asked.

"Ah, you're still going..."

Before Qingyu could continue speaking, her mouth had been gagged.

Why not accept a goddess who's been offered to you, especially one of goddess caliber? As a transmigrator, if I don't accept her, I'll definitely be gossiped about.

However, Ning Xingchen has certain requirements if he wants to take women in. At the very least, they must have the potential to reach the Upper God Realm. Not just anyone can be taken in. They must have talent and be willing to work hard to cultivate to level ninety-nine.

Only by cultivating to level 99 will there be hope of becoming a god in the future. Even if one does not become a god, one can still be carried up. Even if one cannot be carried up, one can simply find a godhood in the God Realm to inherit.

Ning Xingchen has a solution, but you need to be prepared first.

That morning, before dawn, Qingyu quietly left. She didn't want everyone to know yet, and Ning Xingchen respected her decision.

After resting for about five days in the Sea Maiden City, everyone began the next round of assessments.

Now that Ning Xingchen knows that there will be no reward for increasing soul power after level 90, he decides to speed up his assessment progress.

Fortunately, the second or third exams for other people were not very relevant to me, so I didn't have to guide them.

Therefore, Ning Xingchen completed the second and third tests within two months.

After completing the two assessments, Ning Xingchen's soul power successfully reached level ninety under the reward of the divine test. This was much faster than cultivation. If he really used two years, he would probably have a chance to raise his soul power to level ninety on his own.

However, once you reach level 90, there are no more rewards for increasing your soul power, only for increasing your soul ring. Completing this early allows you to receive the rewards early and get your account banned early.

After reaching level 90, Ning Xingchen also obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring as he wished.

After receiving the divinely bestowed soul ring, Ning Xingchen immediately began absorbing it.

Reaching a 100,000-year spirit ring bestowed by the gods wouldn't be a problem for him. If it weren't for the 100,000-year limit, Ning Xingchen could have increased the spirit ring's age even further.

After more than a month, Ning Xingchen successfully absorbed his ninth soul ring.

In his early twenties, Ning Xingchen successfully advanced to the title level, reaching level ninety-two in soul power.

Although he can't compare to Huo Gua, he's still much faster than Tang San.

Looking at the content of the fourth test, Ning Xingchen whispered two words!

"easy!"

The fourth test is to challenge the Seven Sacred Pillars. Once it begins, you must defeat all seven within twenty-four hours.

Of course, for Ning Xingchen, this was not a group battle, but a one-on-one duel to defeat them one by one.

However, Ning Xingchen did not immediately go for the assessment. Instead, he rode the Star Sword and flew westward towards Seagod Island.

There are still ten and a half months left in this assessment, so Ning Xingchen is not in a hurry. Taking this opportunity, Ning Xingchen decided to go and find the Sun and Moon Continent.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School grows stronger in the future, it may have to fight against the Spirit Hall or the Clear Sky School sooner or later. If it can introduce offensive soul tools, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's low-to-mid-level combat power can also be improved.

He will definitely go and take a look when he has time, especially since Ning Xingchen can fly thousands of kilometers a day at his current speed.

In addition, Ning Xingchen also observed the sea along the way, looking for other 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the sea.

Now that my soul power has reached level 92, it's time to consider soul rings for the Star Sword.

Chapter 109 A Walking Essence of Stars

There are no restrictions on leaving the Sea God Island for Ning Xingchen; he had already asked about it when Poseidon gave him a 100,000-year soul ring.

Poseidon Island imposes restrictions on ordinary Soul Masters, but not on him and the people he brought. The weight of the Nine Trials of Poseidon still holds some significance.

Riding on the Star Sword, Ning Xingchen flew into the sky above the sea, about a hundred meters above the sea level.

At this altitude, it was unlikely that any sea spirit beasts would attack, so Ning Xingchen increased his speed and flew towards another direction of the sea.

When he got tired of flying, Ning Xingchen would take out the Dragon Abyss Boat and use it in conjunction with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to rest on the sea, or he could rest for a while when he encountered an uninhabited island.

Rest time should be scheduled during the daytime as much as possible, because at night one can absorb the power of the stars. By absorbing the power of the stars while flying, Ning Xingchen can not only move faster, but also consume less soul power.

There are twelve two-hour periods in a day, and Ning Xingchen spends about ten of them flying in the sky. He cannot estimate the distance he flies, but it is certain that he flies at least a thousand kilometers every day.

As Ning Xingchen flew along, he encountered many islands. The smaller ones were nothing to mention, while the larger ones were about half the size of Seagod Island. However, there were no humans on them, but some soul beasts lived there.

Ning Xingchen found himself seemingly entering a no-man's-land in the ocean. In this no-man's-land, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts could be seen everywhere, and some of them could even leap dozens of meters into the air.

Ning Xingchen did not see any soul beasts that were over 100,000 years old.

On the seventh night after leaving Poseidon Island, Ning Xingchen, riding on the Star Sword, streaked across the sea at a height of about one hundred meters.

With the power of the stars replenishing him at night, Ning Xingchen's speed increased significantly.

Suddenly, after Ning Xingchen stepped into a certain area, he discovered that the amount of Star Power he was replenishing seemed to have decreased.

Standing high in the sky, Ning Xingchen once again felt the power of the stars.

"Is the power of stars gathering here?"

After looking around, Ning Xingchen flew up another hundred meters or so, then activated the Eye of Stars to scan the surroundings.

"That is……"

In front of Ning Xingchen, about a kilometer away, dozens of beams of star power converged and fell, indicating that someone or a soul beast was absorbing the star power.

Regarding soul beasts possessing the power of stars, Ning Xingchen had previously read dozens of records about various soul beasts at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Especially after absorbing the essence of the star power of the Star River Heavenly Net Vine, Ning Xingchen also found a shortcut to forging the Star Sword Body.

Unfortunately, there are very few soul beasts with the power of stars. Apart from the Star River Heavenly Demon Vine that Ning Xingchen saw, he only saw six other soul beasts with the power of stars in dozens of books.

These soul beasts are all rare species and very difficult to find.

After arriving in Hanhai City, Ning Xingchen naturally read books about sea god soul beasts. Apart from whales, the sea soul beasts that possessed the power of stars were what interested him the most.

I obtained the most complete record of sea spirit beasts from Ning Xingchen of Hanhai Pavilion. There are 36 volumes in total, each containing 500 kinds of spirit beasts, which is 18,000 kinds.

After the selection process, nine types of soul beasts containing the power of stars were found. Ning Xingchen seemed to have seen this scene before in his memory.

Right there in mid-air, Ning Xingchen took out a booklet.

He marked all nine types of sea spirit beasts that possessed the power of stars. Ning Xingchen remembered that the spirit beasts presenting this scene were either in the seventh volume or the sixteenth volume.

He glanced at the seventh volume and then took out the sixteenth volume from his spatial soul tool.

The thirty-six volumes do not group similar soul beasts together, but record them according to the order in which they were discovered, so this volume is still being updated.

As Ning Xingchen flipped through the sixteenth volume, he directly accessed the bookmark.

The Starry Night Spots gather together at night to absorb the power of the stars in the night sky. The power of the stars falls like beams of light onto the starry markings on the body of each Starry Night Spot.

"Great! My Starry Sky Sword Body is less than 20% complete. I was just worried about not finding a shortcut."

Looking down at the sea, he realized that this was a deep-sea area, and Starfish Spot was extremely perceptive, fleeing immediately upon encountering a Soul Master or even a powerful Soul Beast.

Starfish will not retaliate proactively; its first instinct upon encountering a creature is to flee.

According to the book, a Soul Master discovered this kind of Soul Beast and spent half a year hunting it down.

Fortunately, Ning Xingchen was prepared. He slowly landed on the sea and then used the invisibility skill of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to slowly approach.

It took Ning Xingchen a full incense stick's time to reach the distance of over a thousand meters, just to be on the safe side. Soul beasts containing the power of stars are extremely rare to find.

It was pure luck to encounter them here; streaks of starlight fell upon the school of fish.

At this moment, Ning Xingchen was only about twenty meters away from these star-sea spots, and he could see clearly how many star-sea spots there were.

There are fifty-nine of them, and their ages are easy to distinguish. It is not based on size, but on the star patterns on the soul beasts. Once ten star patterns have grown on the body, the soul beast has reached the ten-thousand-year level.

Then, after ten thousand years, we can determine how many ten thousand years have passed by looking at the depth of the star patterns.

Of the fifty-nine Starfish in front of me, only twelve are over ten thousand years old, with the oldest being just over fifty thousand. Apart from these twelve, all the others are over a thousand years old.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.
