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

"By the way, a fist-sized piece of red gold iron is worth more than three hundred gold soul coins on the continent. Some people say that our Baiyujing is the most defensive city on the continent, a city wrapped in money."

Ning Xingchen said, "I saw in the book you gave me that this red crystal iron seems to be one of the important materials for manufacturing soul-guided cannons."

"That's right. Anyone on the entire continent who wants to manufacture soul-guided cannons has to buy them from our White Jade Duchy. Actually, calling it a purchase is more like an exchange."

"Why?" Ning Xingchen asked curiously.

Bai Susu said, "Because there are many things in other places that our Baiyu Kingdom doesn't have, the various kingdoms, duchies, and even empires exchange these materials with each other."

"I see."

Obtaining the method to manufacture soul tools is not easy, nor is acquiring the materials; one must travel to various countries to purchase them.

bump……

As they were speaking, a group of knights suddenly emerged from the city gate of Baiyujing and quickly headed towards Ning Xingchen.

Qin Wanqiu said, "Senior, we have already sent someone to inform His Excellency the Duke in advance."

“Brother Ning, Father should be here to pick you up,” Bai Susu said.

In the Star Moon Continent, Title Douluo are very rare. Ning Xingchen learned from Bai Susu that there are fewer than ten Title Douluo on the entire continent.

There are only five in total between the two empires, then there is one from one of the four kingdoms, and two titled Douluo who do not belong to any faction.

In other words, there are only eight Title Douluos in the entire Star Moon Continent, and even with the addition of Ning Xingchen who just arrived, there are only nine.

Of the eight, the one with the highest soul power is only level 97, and another is level 96. They are the pillars of the two great empires, while the other six are all below level 96.

A powerful Title Douluo, especially one without a faction affiliation, would be fiercely sought after no matter where they are on this continent.

In the past few days, Qin Wanqiu and Bai Susu have been praising their Jade Duke from time to time.

The meaning is quite clear: Duke Baiyu is a wise ruler who respects and values ​​talent, and he is obviously trying to recruit him.

Two rows of guards arrived, and a middle-aged man nearly two meters tall strode toward Ning Xingchen.

"Welcome Star Douluo to my Jade Capital!" The middle-aged man said only one sentence, and the civil and military officials behind him, as well as the soldiers on both sides, all shouted in unison.

Duke Baiyu did not ride in a carriage, but walked directly out of the city gate, showing his respect for Ning Xingchen.

Chapter 112 A Twin Martial Soul Cultivated by Mistake

“Brother Ning, this is my father,” Bai Susu said.

Although he was a duke, Bai Susu still addressed Duke Baiyu as her father, since he was not a prince, and the difference was significant.

Before coming, Bai Susu had introduced Duke Baiyu to Ning Xingchen. His name was Baiyu, and his martial soul was the Ice Soul Serpent Emperor, which was an extremely rare mutated ice attribute martial soul.

The Bai family's inherited martial soul is not the Ice Soul Serpent, but a water-attribute snake-type martial soul, which can only be considered above average.

It is because of his existence that the present-day Duchy of White Jade exists.

Bai Yu took a few steps and arrived in front of Ning Xingchen. He had received Ning Xingchen's portrait in advance and recognized him at a glance.

"Star Douluo, I am Bai Yu. Welcome to my Bai Yu Kingdom. You can just call me Bai Yu; there's no need for so much formality," Bai Yu said first.

This is a Title Douluo with two 100,000-year spirit rings. On the entire continent, there is only one other person with 100,000-year spirit rings besides this one.

With the blessing of a 100,000-year soul ring, he was able to rival a level 97 Title Douluo at level 96, their strength being roughly equal.

“My name is Ning Xingchen, you can just call me Xingchen, Mr. Bai,” Ning Xingchen replied.

"No, no, no, you shouldn't address me like that. Senior, you can just call me Bai Yu. May I ask how old Xingchen is? I just turned sixty-three recently," Bai Yu said. Sometimes you can't judge a person's age from their appearance, so Bai Yu still wanted to test the waters.

Ning Xingchen said, "Then I'm two years older than you! Sixty-five."

"But you, how come you look so young!" Bai Yu looked at Ning Xingchen in surprise.

"When I was twenty-two, my teacher gave me some kind of medicine. I don't know what kind of medicine it was, but after taking it, I've maintained this appearance ever since," Ning Xingchen explained.

Bai Yu, Qin Wanqiu, and even Bai Susu immediately understood why Ning Xingchen looked so young.

Bai Susu even thought to herself, "I actually called a man in his sixties 'brother'."

Looking young isn't important; what's important is that the other party is a Title Douluo. You should know that the fastest Title Douluo on the continent to achieve this was at the age of sixty-two.

So even though Ning Xingchen looks young, they don't think he's really young, after all, he's a Title Douluo.

Who can get a title at this age?

This is a matter of common sense.

“Senior, oh no, I’ll call you Brother Ning, please come with me to Baiyujing,” Baiyu said.

“Okay!” Ning Xingchen nodded and walked side by side with Bai Yu into Baiyujing.

Bai Yu is a level 89 Soul Douluo, which is actually not much different from Ning Xingchen's level.

Moreover, according to Qin Wanqiu, Bai Yu once fought for a day and a night with the titled Douluo of the First Kingdom, who was at level 92, without a clear winner.

Although he is only a Soul Douluo, he has already gained the strength of a Title Douluo.

The reason Bai Yu was so enthusiastic was twofold: firstly, he was respectful and courteous to scholars, and secondly, Ning Xingchen had two 100,000-year soul rings.

A Title Douluo with a 100,000-year spirit ring is a completely different concept from one without one, not to mention that Ning Xingchen has two.

Upon entering Baiyujing, Baiyu also acted as an introducer, giving Ning Xingchen a general overview of Baiyujing's situation.

As they walked, Bai Yu began to introduce the people around him, such as his wife and children.

Before long, Ning Xingchen arrived at the Duke's mansion with Bai Yu.

Although it's called a duke's residence, it's actually just a royal city with the same layout, only the title is that of the Duke of White Jade.

The entire White Jade Kingdom has a population of over 20 million, an army of 200,000 mortals, and a Soul Master legion directly controlled by the White Jade Duke, numbering around 5,000.

This force is not small even in the Douluo Continent, but its top combat power is still not very strong compared to the rest of the Douluo Continent.

The welcoming banquet soon came to an end. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Duke Baiyu suddenly asked, "Brother Ning, I wonder what your martial spirit is? What level are you at now?"

What's meant to happen will happen, and Bai Yu definitely needs to confirm it himself.

Ning Xingchen said, "I see that you've been stuck at level 89 for quite a few years, Bai Yu. Why don't we have a spar?"

Since the goal was to demonstrate his strength, Ning Xingchen was determined to let the White Jade Duke try it out himself.

"Good, good, that's exactly what I was thinking too. It's been a long time since I've fought with all my might."

"Brother Ning, this place isn't suitable. Let's go to the training ground outside; that's where we can unleash our full potential," Bai Yu said excitedly.

In the Star Moon Continent, there are very few people who can match his level and fight him.

The Duke's Palace's lower training ground is a huge square that is 600 meters long and more than 300 meters wide.

Duke Baiyu is going to have a match with Ning Xingchen, and the area around the square is already packed with people.

"Aunt Qin, we can finally see Brother Ning make a move!" Bai Susu said excitedly.

Before Qin Wanqiu could speak, a young man next to her immediately scolded, "Seventh Sister, Father calls him Brother Ning. It's not appropriate for you to address him like that. You should call him Uncle Ning."

The speaker was Bai Feng, the eldest son of Duke Baiyu.

“Yes, little sister, this is a Title Douluo. If Father finds out, you’ll definitely be punished. Besides, he hasn’t even questioned you about boarding the Curious Ship without permission this time.” Beside Bai Susu, another beautiful woman spoke up. This was her older sister, Bai Xixi.

"Okay, I understand. I'll call him Uncle Ning from now on," Bai Susu said helplessly.

At this moment, Bai Yu had already released his martial soul, the Ice Soul Serpent Emperor, which was an extremely rare ice attribute. In an instant, the temperature around the field dropped significantly.

Eight spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and four black. It seems that the optimal spirit ring configuration on this continent is the same as that on Douluo Continent.

"Brother Ning, it's your turn," Bai Yu said.

"Okay." Ning Xingchen nodded. Now that he was being called "brother" by a man in his sixties, he had no choice but to keep up the act. There was nothing he could do; his strength simply didn't allow it.

Ning Xingchen's spirit rings also appeared one by one.

The appearance of nine spirit rings—yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, red—immediately drew gasps of amazement from the crowd in the plaza.

"My God, the second spirit ring is a thousand years old, and the fourth spirit ring is already ten thousand years old, is this true?"

There was amazement, but also skepticism.

Ning Xingchen's aura was restrained; from the outside, one could only sense terror from his spirit rings, but there was not much oppressive power.

Only Qin Wanqiu and Bai Susu had witnessed Ning Xingchen's imposing aura.

Although Bai Yu already knew about Ning Xingchen's spirit ring through Qin Wanqiu's information, he was still amazed when he actually saw it, and could not believe that a human could obtain a spirit ring.

Looking at Ning Xingchen's martial soul again, a nine-story tower appeared in Ning Xingchen's hand.

Isn't it a sword-type martial soul?

No wonder he has two martial souls!

However, Ning Xingchen then withdrew his martial spirit and said, "Bai Yu, make your move."

"it is good!"

With the White Jade Martial Soul attached to him, he raised his fist and punched Ning Xingchen.

With loud bangs and each punch landing squarely, it was clear that Bai Yu's physical strength was actually quite good, comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

At this moment, everyone was once again certain that Ning Xingchen's appearance had nothing to do with his age; he was truly powerful. After all, the other two Soul Douluos in the duchy could not gain any advantage in their battle against Bai Yu.

Someone who can fight Bai Yu to such an extent cannot be simple.

The next moment, the white jade soul ring lit up and unleashed an ice snake, which coiled around Ning Xingchen and completely froze him.

In just a few breaths, Ning Xingchen was frozen inside, as if he had been frozen by an ice snake.

Click!

The moment it froze, a cracking sound rang out, and the ice block encasing Ning Xingchen shattered instantly.

It froze for just this moment?

This is Bai Yu's third soul skill, the Freeze Control, yet it's rendered useless by Ning Xingchen. In the Bai Yu Principality, who else could break free from its control in such a short time?

Even fellow Soul Douluo masters couldn't do that; this move undoubtedly proved that Ning Xingchen's title of Title Douluo was well-deserved.

The battle continued, and seeing that the freezing effect had no effect, Duke Baiyu directly used his Martial Soul True Form to transform into an ice-blue serpent king that was over twenty meters long.

What's intriguing is that Ning Xingchen still hasn't used his martial soul or soul skills.

Just as everyone was curious, Ning Xingchen decided to show off a little, so he released his martial soul, the Nine Treasures Profound Yellow Pagoda, and activated his sixth soul skill: Suppression!
