Chapter 7: Gathering Stars and Star Network
Chapter 7: Gathering Stars and Star Network
This Starlight Grass soul ring has not even reached the age limit of the so-called second soul ring, and it is absorbed very quickly.
Xu Mingxi opened his eyes, and the second yellow soul ring above the Star Crown Martial Soul lit up.
A brilliant golden light shot out from the star crown and directly pierced through the big tree in the distance.
"Mingxi, is your spirit ring a strong attack starlight ray?"
The Great Elder came over with concern. This was also his first soul skill.
“Well, my second soul skill, Star Gathering, allows me to gather starlight and shoot it out like I did just now.
As my cultivation level improves, the speed, intensity, and number of star gathering will increase.
And most of all, it seems to have strengthened my connection to the stars.”
"What a great Juxing, what a great name."
The goal of the few people coming to the Star Dou Great Forest has been successfully achieved.
Of course, the two children would not be allowed to walk the road away by themselves, so the two elders each held one in their arms, and within a few days, they returned to the Xingguan Sect.
The Great Elder also brought the Star Tiger with him, so the sect would never lack it for food.
Maybe one of the disciples will need it in the future, or at worst, I can kill it and eat its meat.
"Master, this is what happened."
“Okay, just as I expected, the Starlight Grass can indeed gain the ability to condense starlight.
What surprised me was that it also came with a starlight ray soul skill.
The power now even exceeds the second soul skill of ordinary soul masters. As Mingxi's strength increases in the future, the power of this ray will definitely increase accordingly."
The sect leader was listening to the report from the great elder in the main hall, and even he couldn't help but sigh at Xu Mingxi's good luck.
The soul skill that Mingxi obtained further proved the correctness of the path that the Star Ancestor had envisioned.
Perhaps, this is the correct way to practice the Star Crown Martial Soul, but most people's sensitivity to stars is too poor, and it is rare to find someone who can absorb the Star Summoning Soul Skill.
"Great Elder, you must protect your grandson. He is the future of our Xingguan Sect."
"You don't have to say it."
The two old men, whose combined ages were over 150 years old, looked at each other and laughed.
Xu Mingxi's existence made them very happy.
But Xu Mingxi himself was not so happy.
"Master Teng, can you let me down now?"
"Wait a minute, let me take a closer look.
That's not right, boy, could it be that you really have a connection with the stars?"
After Xu Mingxi returned to the sect and saw his parents, he wanted to continue practicing under the star tree.
Who knew that just as he was using his soul power, he was hung up by Old Teng.
"Master Teng, I really don't know what you are talking about.
I just went to absorb a second soul ring."
Mr. Teng didn't believe it, so he hung Xu Mingxi around for a while, but he couldn't see any clues at all.
"You are such a weird kid, your sensitivity to the stars is almost as good as when I first became a ten thousand year old soul beast.
You should know that I am a star-seeking vine born from the stars, how can a human like you do that?"
Mr. Teng was puzzled. After putting Xu Mingxi down, he shrank back into the tree and became autistic.
The dizzy Xu Mingxi was put to the ground. He couldn't stand steadily and sat down on the ground.
Damn, my ass, you old bastard, if you keep treating me like this I’m going to use you as a spirit ring.
Xu Mingxi simply didn't get up.
Keep practicing, sooner or later you will be able to use Lao Deng as a whip.
The days of training in the mountains were always boring. In the blink of an eye, Xu Mingxi was twelve years old and his strength had reached the Soul Master level.
Twelve-year-old Xu Mingxi looked at himself in the mirror. He was about 1.6 meters tall, with simple short golden hair, a handsome face, and yellow hair.
Just half a year ago, the eleven-and-a-half-year-old Xu Mingxi officially reached level 30, and was only one spirit ring away from becoming a "master" level expert.
This time, without waiting for Xu Mingguang, he was taken directly to the Star Forest by his grandfather.
It has to be said that it is difficult to find a soul beast suitable for Xu Mingxi, not to mention one that is of the right age.
The grandfather and grandson searched for almost half a year before they finally found the soul beast they needed in a cave.
A light-weaving spider that has just reached the level of a thousand-year soul beast.
Originally, Xu Mingxi wanted to practice his practical combat skills, but who knew that the starlight rays he emitted were actually caught directly by the weaving spider.
The starlight in its hands seemed more flexible than in the hands of its original owner, Xu Mingxi.
The rays that had just been shot out were instantly woven into a giant net, attacking Xu Mingxi. "Grandpa, save me."
In the end, Xu Mingxi and his grandfather killed the weaving spider together and captured it.
As the purple soul ring floated above the Star Crown, Xu Mingxi opened his eyes.
Without his grandfather saying anything, Xu Mingxi's third soul ring lit up, and the starlight changed into different forms in his hands.
Sometimes it's rays, sometimes it's a giant net, sometimes it's a shield.
The third soul skill that the Weaving Spider brought to Xu Mingxi is called Star Web.
At the same time, his control over starlight is improved, and he can manipulate starlight to change into some simple forms.
Seemingly influenced by the spirit ring of the Light Weaving Spider, the starlight web that Xu Mingxi is now weaving has the same toughness as a spider web.
After absorbing the spirit ring of the Light Weaving Spider, Xu Mingxi's spirit power directly reached level 32, which was considered to be able to barely protect himself.
Moreover, according to the rules of the Xingguan Sect, soul masters who are twelve years old or older need to go out and gain experience alone.
Xu Mingxi had been delayed for a while because of obtaining the soul ring, but Xu Mingguang had set out half a year ago.
Just now, Xu Mingxi had just returned to the sect to rest and came to the sect master's hall.
"Grandpa Sect Leader, where did Brother Mingguang go? Should I go with him?"
"Mingxi is here, come and sit down. The sect's training rules require you to train alone.
Your brother Mingguang is in Xingluo City now. He wrote to me a while ago saying that his soul power has broken through to level 28."
"Really? That's great. In another six months, Brother Mingguang should be able to reach level 30."
"That's about it. Forget about him. Mingxi, it's time for you to go out and gain some experience."
A truly strong person cannot grow up in a greenhouse, and Xu Mingxi understands this truth.
The reason he came this time was to ask the sect leader about going out for training.
"Then Grandpa Sect Leader, where should I go to train?"
The sect leader thought for a while. The disciples of the Xingguan Sect generally go to various colleges, but which college to choose is a problem.
The two royal academies cannot be chosen, and the Xingguan Sect cannot be involved in the struggle between the two empires.
The Spirit Hall and the Elemental Academy are not good choices either, and are not suitable for the Star Crown Spirit at all.
The sect leader still has some good feelings towards the Spirit Hall. He once went to the Spirit Hall to receive subsidies when he was training outside.
It’s just that the Spirit Hall is a bit chaotic right now, and that acting pope is not a smart person.
Then, the sect leader saw the name of a special academy.
Canghui College is an academy that has a lot of experience in training owners of gem-type weapon spirits. Xingguan Sect also had several disciples who went there to study.
Moreover, the kingdom adjacent to Canghui College also has a close relationship with Xingguan Sect.
"Mingxi, what do you think of Canghui College?"
Huh? Looking at the name of the academy pointed out by the sect leader, Xu Mingxi was a little confused.
Canghui Academy, isn’t this the little villain? It seems that all the students participating in the Soul Master Competition have been turned into idiots by Tang San.
"Master, then let's go to this academy."
"Okay, your uncle Fang Zhuo from the sect once studied in Canghui and knows the current dean. He will take you there when the time comes."
The sect leader had another purpose in asking Xu Fangzhuo to take him there, which was to have him discuss something with the dean.
It is necessary to avoid the bone age test of Xu Mingxi when he enters school and change his age to seventeen.
The twelve-year-old Soul Master is still too eye-catching.
Xu Fangzhuo is 59 years old, a level Control-type Battle Soul Emperor. He and the current Dean Canghui are good friends who participated in the National Soul Master Competition together.
The sect leader believed that he could completely solve Mingxi's enrollment problem.
"Yes, then, Sect Master, I will go back first. I will go to see Uncle Fang Zhuo tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
The sect leader looked at Xu Mingxi who walked out with melancholy. If possible, he really didn't want to let Mingxi go.
But for Xu Mingxi's growth, he still bears his heart and lets him go out and explore.
Having said that, we still have to take some precautions, so the sect leader asked someone to call the second elder over.
"Second Elder, Mingxi's safety is in your hands."
"Master, don't worry. With me here, no one can hurt Xiao Mingxi."
The Second Elder is confident in this. She is now a level 91 Control-type Titled Douluo with two yellow, two purple and five black spirit rings.
During these six years, the elders in the sect had also made some progress, most of them had been promoted by one or two levels, and the second elder had even broken through the bottleneck and reached the Titled Douluo.
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion.
