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

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately ran out, knowing that his family had also contributed a gold soul coin for this event.

If they can get 80% back, that's 10 Silver Soul Coins. If they're careful with their spending, 10 Silver Soul Coins would be enough for them for more than half a year, almost a year.

……

"what?"

"You're withdrawing this mission! Are you sure you don't need any more help?" Tang Hao said in a low voice, seemingly a little angry.

The middle-aged man was startled and said, "Two Soul Masters, this is what the village chief asked me to inform you. We already have a solution. We apologize."

"You..." Tang Hao wanted to say something, but Tang Xiao pulled him back down.

"Let's go!" Tang Xiao said.

"Big brother, aren't they just playing with us? Who else would take on this mission besides us? We kindly helped them, and they... Hmph... I'd like to see how they handle this." Tang Hao said in a low voice.

Tang Xiao could only shake his head helplessly as he looked at Tang Hao, who was somewhat angry.

Since returning from the killing system, Tang Hao's temper has become much more volatile. Although he has improved a lot after half a year of training, he is still occasionally swayed by his emotions and cannot control himself well.

Chapter 54 Ah Yin Appears, the Possessiveness of the Twin Stars of Haotian

Ning Xingchen was in a great mood after Tang Xiao and Tang Hao left the village!

They successfully changed the plot, thus preventing them from meeting Ah Yin. Little Ah Yin won't be able to be controlled by him.

After all, in the original story, Ah Yin went with them and then traveled across the continent together.

But no matter how you look at it, these three don't seem to fit together. Tang Xiao is fifty years old now, and Tang Hao is about thirty-five.

Ah Yin is a girl who is about ten years old!

amount……

Is Gintoki a fan of older men?

After several analyses, Ning Xingchen concluded that having the villagers drive it away was the safest course of action.

As for the Mercenary Guild's refund of gold and soul coins, Ning Xingchen lied. In reality, once a Soul Master accepts a mission from the Mercenary Guild, it's impossible to get a refund.

Before someone accepts the quest, you can get 80% back, but after someone accepts the quest, you can't get a single gold coin back.

These villagers were unaware of this, which is why they chased Tang Xiao and Tang Hao away.

Although Ning Xingchen didn't consider himself a good person, he didn't want to deliberately act like a bad person. He would make up for the villagers' inability to return the gold soul coins.

He didn't intend to take back the five hundred gold soul coins. The reason he told them he would return them was mainly to make them determined to get their gold soul coins back from the Mercenary Guild.

Only by doing this could they drive Tang Xiao and Tang Hao away.

Night falls!

The village chief of Songlin Village even went so far as to order someone to slaughter a chicken and roast it for Ning Xingchen's dinner.

But before the chicken was even cooked, the villagers came running over in a panic.

"Oh no! The fourth brother's child ran into the back mountain to play and was targeted by that soul beast."

"That brat! Didn't I tell him he can't go to the back mountain anytime soon?" the old village chief said angrily.

Ning Xingchen stood up directly from beside the fire and said, "Leave it to me."

After saying that, Ning Xingchen ran out in one stride. At this time, some noises were already coming from the back mountain, and the direction could be clearly felt.

"Village chief, is this boy capable?" the middle-aged man who brought the news asked with a doubtful look.

"He's very confident, maybe... he can do it." At this moment, even the old village chief was a little unsure whether Ning Xingchen could actually do it.

However, they've already given him 500 gold soul coins, so it should be enough. If he dies, then those 500 gold soul coins will be theirs.

"Let's wait. We don't know much about Soul Masters. Being young doesn't mean you can't do it." That was all the old village chief could say.

……

On the back mountain, Ning Xingchen quickened his pace.

This place shouldn't have any powerful spirit beasts.

If any spirit beasts come here, they most likely come from a small spirit beast forest more than a hundred kilometers away.

Currently, the Douluo Continent is rich in soul beast resources. In addition to the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sunset Forest, many kingdoms and provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire have some small soul beast forests, but they are much smaller than the Sunset Forest and are not well-known.

Ning Xingchen's speed was extremely fast!

A giant bear roared!

Ning Xingchen drew his Star Sword, and with a whoosh...

He threw the Star Sword away.

Having learned the art of sword control, one can naturally control one's own martial spirit.

Boom...

The Star Sword pierced through the giant bear's skin and simultaneously severed a large tree.

Unfortunately, the tree fell right in the little boy's escape route.

Roar……

The giant bear roared, perhaps sensing the pain, and opened its blood-red maw to bite the little boy.

Ning Xingchen controlled the Star Sword to launch a rapid counterattack.

At that very moment, Ning Xingchen saw a blue light in the forest, and the Blue Silver Grass in the forest began to change.

The main character has arrived!

A beautiful woman in a blue dress appeared in front of Ning Xingchen.

She was as dazzling as a fairy descending to earth!

The blue light illuminated almost the entire forest as Ah Yin descended the vines.

The giant bear, bathed in this blue light, immediately became docile.

Ning Xingchen quickly sheathed his Star Sword, and with a whoosh...

The Star Sword veered off course and did not continue its attack on the giant bear.

Ah Yin seemed to know that Ning Xingchen had given up attacking the giant bear. When she landed between the giant bear and the little boy, she glanced at Ning Xingchen and smiled.

Meanwhile, on a large tree a hundred meters away.

"Brother, this energy is so pure, it can actually calm my heart!" Tang Hao's eyes were fixed on Ah Yin's appearance.

"Yes!" Tang Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.

"No wonder they don't need us!"

"Second brother, if we let this woman come with us, it might help you completely overcome the last trace of aftereffects left on you by the City of Slaughter," Tang Xiao said.

"Okay!" Tang Hao nodded.

“However… this woman is strange!” Tang Xiao looked closely at Ah Yin.

In Douluo Continent, Soul Douluos can distinguish immature transformed soul beasts if they look closely (this is actually mentioned in the original work; Xiao Wu was afraid that Flander was a Soul Douluo when she first entered Shrek Academy, and worried that she would be discovered), while Title Douluos can easily distinguish them.

"Brother, something's wrong with this woman?" Tang Hao asked, puzzled.

At this time, Tang Hao was only thirty-five years old and at the peak of level seventy-nine in soul power. Since he was not yet a Soul Douluo, he naturally could not see Ah Yin's true identity.

“We must keep this woman with us,” Tang Xiao said.

“Brother, that’s what I think too,” Tang Hao said.

At this time, Tang Xiao's soul power had already reached level 88 for quite some time, and it would only take a few years to reach level 90.

If needed, wouldn't this be just a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone on site?

Tang Chen is gone, and their father Tang Wei's health is deteriorating. They must grow stronger, otherwise how can they deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

A 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone would make him one of the top beings among the titled Douluo.

With Seven Kill Douluo now crippled, he will have a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, and he is confident that he can deal with both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo by himself.

"Let's go! It'll be too late if we don't go now," Tang Xiao said.

At this moment, Ning Xingchen had already arrived beside A Yin and said, "Luckily you were here, otherwise this child would have been in trouble."

Ah Yin used the powerful life-restoring ability of the Blue Silver Grass to help the little boy and the giant bear heal their wounds. Afterwards, she stood up and said to Ning Xingchen, "Actually, you had a chance to kill it with one blow just now, why did you stop?"

Ordinary Soul Masters certainly wouldn't act like Ning Xingchen, which piqued Ah Yin's curiosity.

Just as Ning Xingchen was about to answer, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, each wielding a Haotian Hammer, ran over.

"Sorry we're late," Tang Xiao said loudly.

Ning Xingchen frowned, a thousand curses running through his mind. Hadn't they driven them away? Or had they come back?

He tried his best to change the plot, but the three of them still ended up meeting at this moment.

"I remember you guys seem to have already left the village, right?" Ning Xingchen asked, puzzled.

Tang Xiao said, "We had already left, but we were worried about the safety of the villagers here, so we didn't go too far. When we heard the bear's roar, we came to check it out."

"Fortunately, you intervened in time, preventing a major disaster."

Ning Xingchen said, "Now that you're here, could I trouble you with something?"

“Speak!” Tang Xiao said.

"Could you please take this child back to the village?" Ning Xingchen asked.

"Forehead……"

“Okay…” Tang Xiao agreed.

"You saved this child, why don't you come with us!"

Tang Xiao also glanced at Ah Yin, who seemed to be about to agree.

Ning Xingchen couldn't let them have their way, so she quickly said, "We can't go to the village yet."

After saying that, Ning Xingchen looked at Ah Yin and said, "You were able to calm it down just now, and it seems that it will listen to you. Why don't we take it back to the Soul Beast Forest? That way, it won't come out to continue harming humans, and it can return to its own place."
