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

……

After three days and three nights of continuous travel, Ning Xingchen finally returned to Tiandou City.

However, he did not return to the sect immediately, but instead planned to stay in Tiandou City for a few days.

If no danger arises, it's not too late to return to the sect then.

After all, he didn't want to bring danger back to the sect, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to risk the sect's fate to save Bibi Dong.

Even using all the power of the sect wouldn't work; it might even endanger the entire sect.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Xingchen realized that no one was following him, so he left Tiandou City and returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Upon entering the sect, they went straight to the small courtyard.

But as soon as Ning Xingchen arrived at the courtyard, he spotted a familiar figure.

Who else could this be but Ah Yin?

"Meteor, you, you're back." Ah Yin looked at Ning Xingchen as he entered, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

It's been a long time since I've seen Ning Xingchen, and the changes he's undergone are tremendous.

“Ah Yin, I went to that canyon to look for you but you weren’t there. I didn’t expect you to have already come to the sect,” Ning Xingchen said.

The two slowly walked together and naturally embraced.

“Meteor, I should call you Star now. You’re finally back,” Ah Yin said.

"Ah Yin, I've already killed those Iron Wolf mercenaries who were chasing you. I knew you were still alive, but I didn't expect you to already be in the sect."

"Ah Yin, it's been years. Your soul power has reached level fifty-six? Not bad!" Ning Xingchen said, noticing Ah Yin's soul power at a glance.

"Yes, I've been working hard to cultivate and reach level 60 as soon as possible, so that I can explore the continent with you," Ah Yin said with a smile.

After chatting with Ah Yin for a while, Ning Dingling, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all came over when they learned that Ning Xingchen had returned.

Ah Yin obediently stepped aside, not disturbing Ning Xingchen's reunion with his family.

"Sister, elder brother, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu."

"Good lad, you should be level 70 by now, right? You need a spirit ring?" Sword Douluo sensed the fluctuations of spirit power emanating from Ning Xingchen.

"Hey, why is there someone else's soul power on you? Let me help you remove it." Sword Douluo said, placing his hand on Ning Xingchen's back.

"This kind of method must belong to a rather special Title Douluo. Xingchen, are you being hunted down?" Sword Douluo asked in confusion.

"Who exactly is Xingchen?" Bone Douluo asked.

"Xingchen, are you alright?" Ning Dingling and Ning Fengzhi were even more concerned about Ning Xingchen's health.

"I am fine."

He always felt someone was following him while he was escaping, so he kept going as fast as he could. It turned out that it was true. It seems that Bibi Dong's warning was correct.

After all, no one knew that group of people better than her, and the marks on their bodies must have been left by Ghost Douluo.

"Sister, for the past year and a half, I..."

In the following time, Ning Xingchen began to recount her experience of going to the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group after leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but everyone already knew about these things.

Since Zhao Wuji, Qingyu, and others had already arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they naturally knew about what happened back then.

What Ning Xingchen said next was the important part.

He began to recount how he was being hunted down by the Heavenly Wolf Douluo, who possessed the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf Martial Soul.

"Xingchen, are you being hunted down by Tianlang Douluo?"

"Damn it, we weren't there at the time, so how did you escape, Star?" Sword Douluo asked.

The Sirius Douluo have been confirmed as the culprit who attacked and killed Ning Xingchen's parents back then, and they wish they could kill him immediately and grind his bones to dust.

Ning Xingchen said, "I entered the City of Slaughter and stayed there for a year and a half before I just came out."

Ning Xingchen thought for a moment but still didn't tell anyone about her relationship with Bibi Dong. As for the marks on her body from the pursuit, she said she didn't know, but they might have been left in the City of Slaughter.

"Xingchen, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. Now that you're back, take a good rest. You've suffered for more than a year," Ning Dingling said.

Although they had never been to the Killing City, they all knew what kind of place it was.

It was truly remarkable that they were able to get out of there.

"Okay!" Ning Xingchen nodded.

"By the way, Xingchen, I've already obtained the national treasure you asked me to get from the Heavenly Dou Empire. Here you go with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Ning Dingling got this a year ago.

Unfortunately, she never had the chance to give it to Ning Xingchen. Now that she's finally back, Ning Dingling naturally has to bring it out.

In Ning Dingling's hand floated a blue, three-dimensional triangular object, about the size of a palm, which looked as if it were carved from a sapphire.

This is the national treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the key to obtaining the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

"Thank you, sister!" Ning Xingchen accepted the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

He wanted to become stronger quickly, and participating in the Sea God's Trial was one of the best shortcuts.

"Alright, now that you're back, get some rest. We'll have a welcome dinner for you today," Ning Dingling said.

"Hmm!" Ning Xingchen nodded, not in a hurry to study the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in his hand, but put it away first.

From day to night, Ning Xingchen met many people, including sect disciples and Zhao Wuji, Qingyu, and others who had been sent back before.

"Thank you for taking us in, young master!" Everyone knelt down on one knee as soon as they saw Ning Xingchen.

Of all these people, only Liu Erlong did not kneel on one knee, as if she did not want to have the same status as them.

Ning Xingchen glanced at it and said, "Qingyu, not bad. You've already reached level 63 in just one year and a half."

It took them a year and a half to go from level 59 to level 63, something they wouldn't have dared to imagine before.

"Old Zhao, you've also reached level 66, not bad."

They gain one level of soul power every six months, which is quite a fast pace for them.

"I still want to thank you, Young Master, for letting us join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We can train in a simulated training ground that suits us for more than ten days every month, so our improvement will naturally be faster," Qingyu said.

Each member of the Azure Feather Mercenary Group has received a promotion of about three levels.

Looking at Liu Erlong again, his soul power had improved considerably.

Ning Xingchen walked straight to Liu Erlong's side and whispered, "Erlong, are you already a Soul King?"

Liu Erlong nodded and said, "I just broke through not long ago, and only obtained my fifth soul ring a little over a month ago."

Level 51, that's Liu Erlong's soul power.

At this time, Liu Erlong was only in her early twenties, no more than twenty-five, and was definitely considered a genius of this era. Unfortunately, according to the original novel plot, too many things delayed his cultivation, which is why he was only level seventy-five when he appeared.

According to Ning Xingchen, if she cultivates diligently, she should be able to reach the level of Soul Douluo in twenty years. It's impossible for her to remain at level 75 in terms of soul power.

"Erlong, keep it up!" Ning Xingchen nodded.

Ning Xingchen only came to see them for a short while; he had other things to do and needed to leave.

But when she left, Liu Erlong had something to say, but for some reason she gave up in the end.

"Erlong, if there's anything you need to say, you must say it clearly as soon as possible. The later you wait, the bigger the gap between you might become, and the bigger the gap, the smaller your chances will be." Qingyu gently patted Liu Erlong's shoulder.

"Hmph, that womanizer, he already has Ah Yin, I..." Liu Erlong stopped there, wondering if she really minded.

“Erlong, you can’t say that. With the young master’s status, it’s impossible for him to have only one person by his side. Besides Ayin, there may be others named Adong or Axi in the future. If you want to maintain some status, you should do it sooner rather than later. If you do it later, well… you can think about it yourself,” Qingyu said.

Having given this much advice, Qingyu felt that was enough; the rest was up to Liu Erlong to figure out on his own.

But the image of Ning Xingchen saving them also lingered in her mind, that powerful figure, and she thought: Should I also try to win him over?

……

At this time, in a small village dozens of miles outside the city of Soto in the Kingdom of Barak.

"Xiao Gang, let's build Shrek Academy here. With your knowledge, you will surely be able to train even more powerful Soul Masters."

"Yes! Thank you, Brother Flander." Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly.

Before they knew it, the two had become entwined, seemingly envisioning a bright future for themselves and Shrek.

Chapter 84: Distributing Soul Bones, Ah Yin Enters the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well

Nighttime, inside the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Palace!

"Xingchen, is there anything else you want to say?" Ning Dingling asked.

Beside him were Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Xingchen said, "Sister, I gained a lot from this trip. You can take a look and see which soul bone is suitable for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Xingchen took out all eight soul bones he had obtained.

So many soul bones?

The four of them stared in amazement!

Ning Fengzhi said, "I've been training on the continent for so long, how come I haven't obtained so many soul bones? I haven't gotten a single one."

This really shows how it's depressing to compare yourself to others.

Sword Douluo said, "Star, are all these for us?"

Ning Xingchen nodded and said, "As long as it suits you, you can absorb it."

"Let me introduce this to you. This is a torso bone that is over 60,000 years old, obtained from that Contra Iron Wolf. Its soul bone skill is to release scales to cover its entire body to protect itself, making it extremely strong in defense."

"And this one, also a torso bone, 50,000 years old, after release it can..."

Ning Xingchen explained the function of each of the eight soul bones one by one.

However, there is only one that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul can absorb: a 30,000-year-old gem-type head soul bone, which Ning Xingchen obtained in the middle of his year and a half in the City of Slaughter.

"Give this soul bone to Feng Zhi. I already have one," Ning Dingling said.

“Okay, this one should be given to the eldest brother,” Ning Xingchen said.

"Thank you, Xingchen."
