Chapter 3 Star Calling
Chapter 3 Star Calling
Obtaining a soul ring is the most important thing in a soul master's life. It symbolizes that the soul master's strength, identity, and status have all reached a higher level.
“For thousands of years, our ancestors have been trying continuously and finally discovered the soul beast called the Star-Calling Cicada.
If you choose this as your first soul ring, you will most likely obtain the first soul skill that is most suitable for the Star Crown martial soul control system: Star Attraction Technique. "
The sect leader personally brought Xu Mingguang and Xu Mingxi, two geniuses with innate full soul power, to the Valley of Stars.
There are no pedestrians passing by here except for the people from the Xingguan Sect. On weekday nights, there is often starlight shining down, making it the best place to raise the Star-Calling Cicada.
The Star-Calling Cicada is a social soul beast. The strongest one in the valley is a four thousand year old Star-Calling Cicada King. The first soul skills of those from the Star Crown Sect who want to take the control route are basically taken from here.
The arrival of the sect leader naturally alarmed Xu Chunmian, the level 73 control-type combat soul saint who was guarding the Valley of Stars.
"Master, why are you here? Oh, look at my brain, it's because of Mingguang and Mingxi."
Xu Chunmian is also of the same generation as the clan leader, but is limited by her talent. Soul Saint is her pinnacle. Now guarding the Valley of Stars is also a contribution to the clan.
"Hello, Grandma Pure Cotton x2."
"Chunmian, I came back this time for these two children. They both want to take the control route, so I brought them here to obtain their first spirit ring."
"Okay, okay, they are all good kids.
However, Sect Master, the only thing suitable for the first soul ring in the valley right now is a Star-Calling Cicada that is about four hundred years old.
There is another one that is only over 300 years old and close to 400 years old. Isn’t it a bit too young?”
The sect leader frowned when he heard the news. This matter is a bit difficult to handle.
"Grandpa Sect Leader, let Brother Mingguang absorb the 400-year-old one. My physique is relatively weak, so I may not be able to absorb it."
Xu Mingxi's understanding made the sect leader feel a little ashamed. Although he did think so, he could only go back and compensate little Mingxi.
In fact, the first soul ring of more than 390 years is not bad, and it is also a fact that Xu Mingxi's physique is not as good as Xu Mingguang's.
"Okay, then let your brother Mingguang absorb the one that lasted for 400 years. Grandpa will give little Mingxi some goodies when he returns."
Xu Chunmian saw that the sect master had made the decision and naturally would not refute it. The star crown martial spirit appeared on his head and the first soul ring lit up.
Two rays of starlight shot out from the star crown, directly freezing two of the Star-Calling Cicadas flying in the distance, and the others fled in all directions.
"Xiao Mingguang, kill the big Star-Calling Cicada."
As the heir of a major sect, there is naturally no such thing as mercy. As long as humans need spirit rings, they and spirit beasts will always be incompatible.
Xu Mingguang took out a dagger from the storage soul guide on his waist and pierced the Star-Calling Cicada's body directly, ending its life.
Then he sat down cross-legged, and the soul power flowed in his body, pulling the yellow soul ring that appeared in the air.
After a while, Xu Mingguang opened his eyes, the Star Crown Martial Soul on his head lit up, and a yellow soul ring appeared above him.
Wherever Xu Mingguang's gaze went, his soul ring lit up, golden light shot out from the star crown, and the small insects crawling on the ground were instantly fixed.
Xu Mingguang's first soul skill is the star attraction technique, which transforms starlight into light and locks onto the enemy, making it difficult for him to move.
Next it was Xu Mingxi's turn. Although he had never killed even a chicken in his previous life, he knew that this was a necessary process to become an excellent soul master. He raised his sword and directly cut off the Star-Calling Cicada's head.
Xu Mingxi performed the same operation next, and as the yellow soul ring floated above his head, the first soul ring was successfully obtained.
"Mingxi, how do you feel? Are you okay?"
Before the sect leader said anything, Xu Mingguang jumped in front of Xu Mingxi and asked with concern.
"Brother Mingguang, I'm fine, but my soul skill doesn't seem to be the Star Attraction Technique."
As he spoke, Xu Mingxi directly activated his martial soul, and the first soul ring lit up.
For a moment, the starlight from the sky sprinkled down and covered Xu Mingxi's body, as if he was wearing a dress woven from starlight.
The sect leader standing next to him was originally feeling sorry that Xu Mingxi had absorbed a bad soul skill this time, but when he saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Master, my soul skill seems to be called Star Summoning, which can draw in the starlight from the sky and increase my cultivation speed, but it seems to be of no use."
"No, no, Mingxi, this soul skill of yours is very useful."
The sect leader waved his hand to let Xu Chunmian go down, and he went forward to pick up the two children and rushed towards the sect leader's hall on the top of the mountain.
As the sect leader rushed forward, starlight left afterimages in the sky.
As the sect leader returned to the hall, the big bell in front of the hall door rang directly. This was the bell to summon the elders to discuss matters.
The six elders who were practicing or busy in various places in Xingluo Mountain immediately stopped their work and rushed towards the main hall.
"Master, what happened again? It can't be because of these two little guys again." Xu Chunyi was the strongest and arrived first. He looked at the two little kids standing behind the master with great curiosity.
"When everyone is here, I will tell you together. Perhaps, this is the hope for our Xingguan lineage to become strong again."
Xu Chunyi was stunned for a moment, he knew that the two little brats were going to hunt for the first soul ring today, it seemed that one of them, this first soul ring, was not simple.
The Great Elder did not expect that both of them would be the case, the probability was too small.
Soon, the other five elders also arrived and sat down around Xu Mingxi and the other two.
"I called you all here this time because I have something important to discuss with you concerning the fate of our Xingguan Sect.
Today I took Mingguang and Mingxi to the Star Valley to obtain the first soul ring. Mingguang used the normal star-attracting technique.
But Mingxi's soul skill is called Star Summoning."
The other five elders were still confused. What was wrong with the Star Summoning soul skill? Was it bad or too good?
However, the great elder sitting at the front seemed to have thought of something.
"Master, you mean the ancestor Xingchen Douluo."
"That's right. The Star Douluo has a soul power of level 98, the highest soul power in the history of our Star Crown Sect, and his first soul skill is exactly Star Summoning."
The Great Elder was overwhelmed with joy and looked at his good grandson excitedly.
The clan leader ignored the old man who was so happy that he was stunned, and spoke directly.
“According to the notes, our ancestor made a mistake in choosing his spirit ring, and was stuck at level 98.
Now that he has his ancestors' cultivation notes and Mingxi has full innate soul power, perhaps he can try to impact that position."
The elders present all understood the sect leader's intention, which was to do their best to train Xu Mingxi.
Others will naturally not object to this being a good thing for them.
The sect leader nodded with satisfaction and turned to face Xu Mingguang.
"Mingguang, are you willing to always protect your brother Mingxi?"
"Grandpa, I do."
Good boy, I’m sorry for having wronged you.
"From now on, Xu Mingguang will be the young master. Please keep Mingxi's affairs confidential."
Everyone present knew the seriousness of the matter. This was more important than having full innate soul power, so they naturally agreed.
Xu Mingxi stood quietly by the side. Although he was the protagonist of the incident, he had no right to speak here.
He could only clench his hands tightly, looking at Xu Mingguang, and made up his mind to become stronger.
However, as a sect with Titled Douluo, Xingguan Sect would not have so many people who are blind.
The clan leader looked at the two little kids running away, his heart filled with infinite longing for the future.
But when he thought of the current situation on the mainland, his smile disappeared instantly.
Although the Xingguan Sect is a secluded sect, it still has connections with some sects and families.
Recently, the Haotian Sect, which also possesses top-level weapon spirits, has been making a lot of noise.
Haotian Sect's leader Tang Chen and Spirit Hall's Qian Daoliu are both known as the strongest in the world. His son broke through to the Titled Douluo level a few years ago.
The Haotian Sect, which has two Titled Douluo, Tang Chen and his son, has been known as the number one sect in the world, and the Haotian Hammer is also known as the number one weapon spirit in the world.
There are seven Soul Douluo elders in the Haotian Sect, and four affiliated families and many small families outside, who rely on them to suppress all disobedience.
Its momentum has completely overshadowed the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect supported by Yu Yuanzhen alone and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect with only one Titled Douluo.
The three major sects headed by the Haotian Sect and the Spirit Hall are confronting each other, the Xingluo Empire is eyeing the Tiandou Empire, and undercurrents have long been surging on the continent.
“These are troubled times. I just hope that the situation on the mainland will not affect our Xingguan Sect.
Mingguang and Mingxi will take a lot of time to take care of these two children."
The sect leader stood alone in the main hall. All the pressure from the entire sect was concentrated on him, and his hair had turned a lot grayer.
Mingxi was pulled out of the sect master's hall by Xu Mingguang. He followed behind and wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
In the end, Xu Mingguang sent him back home in silence.
