Chapter 17: An Old Friend in Tianshui

Xu Mingxi returned to Xingluo Mountain, sat cross-legged under the Star Tree, and calculated the gains and losses of the past two years.

At the age of 14 and a half, his soul power has reached level 36. I think he can reach the level of Soul Master when he is around years old.

Although I didn’t achieve any results during this trip, I met a lot of friends and saw more scenery, which are all gains.

Moreover, thinking of the news that the sect leader told him yesterday, Xu Mingxi couldn't help but sigh at the dangers of the world.

The fifteen academies that successfully entered the finals of the Soul Master Competition are heading to the junction of the two empires and the Spirit Hall to participate in the final finals.

The Spirit Hall arrested Gu Ling, the captain of Othello Academy, on the grounds that he was very likely an evil soul master.

During the arrest process, it was discovered that there was actually a Soul Douluo expert behind Gu Ling. No one knew if it was the evil soul master Xu Mingxi, but the Spirit Hall said he was.

Under the siege, Gu Ling and the people behind him died, but the Tiandou team was accidentally affected.

Yu Xiaotian and Ning Xue were unfortunately killed. Xue Xiang was seriously injured and his cultivation path was cut off.

Anyone can kill the evil soul master who behaves in this way. It is admirable that the three talented soul masters stepped forward. These are the original words in the announcement of the Spirit Hall.

Xu Mingxi didn't believe this result, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan would not believe it even more.

The friction between the three major sects and the Spirit Hall became more intense, like gunpowder, which could be ignited at any time.

Perhaps because he was afraid of Tang Chen, the deputy captain of the Xingluo team who was holding the Clear Sky Hammer did not encounter any accidents.

In the end, it was the Spirit Hall that won the Soul Master Competition, the Xingluo Team was narrowly defeated, and the Tiandou Team directly withdrew from the competition.

"The mainland is going to be in chaos. Once the person from Haotian Sect disappears, something bad will happen."

Xu Mingxi thought of the young talent who fought the Thunder Lion in close combat, and felt sorry for him.

Although I don’t know when Tang Chen disappeared, it should have been soon.

Fortunately, the clan leader also knew that there would be chaos on the mainland, and quickly recalled all the clan members who were outside.

Xu Mingxi finally met his three friends again.

The two younger brothers following behind them had also awakened long ago. Xu Mingjie had an innate sixth-level soul power, and Xu Mingying had an innate ninth-level soul power. Their martial souls were both star crowns.

Since all the tribesmen were called back, Xingluo Mountain has become lively.

Xu Mingxi was also taken by his parents and grandfather to meet many elders in the clan.

At night, starlight shines down from all the simulated training sites in Xingluo Mountain, illuminating the entire mountain gate.

Xu Mingxi spent his sixteenth birthday in the sect in an ordinary way. On that day, his soul power finally reached level forty.

I wanted to ask my grandfather to take me to get the fourth soul ring, but I was unexpectedly rejected and told to wait and see.

"Mingxi, it's not that grandpa doesn't want to take you, but it's too chaotic outside right now.

Some time ago, news broke that Tang Chen from the Haotian Sect had been missing for a long time.

Although we don't know whether it's true or not, undercurrents have already been surging on the mainland.

All the clans and tribes have already guarded the mountain gates tightly, and even the top three clans have become much more restrained in their actions."

When Xu Mingxi heard this, he was shocked. Did Tang Chen disappear so quickly? He must be trapped in the City of Slaughter now.

Wouldn't the Spirit Hall be about to take action against the Haotian Sect soon?
Xu Mingxi didn't care about the life or death of the Haotian Sect. What he was thinking about was whether he could take this opportunity to obtain the knowledge about the immortal grass from the Poyi Clan.

Following Xu Mingxi's suggestion to let his grandfather come forward, Xingguan Sect has been paying attention to Dugu Bo's news.

I think finding the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire is not a problem. What is most important now is the knowledge about the magical grass.

If it doesn't work, I can only look for Yue Guan.

Xu Mingxi didn't want to go this far. The Spirit Hall was too powerful, and balance was what the Xingguan Sect needed.

After a few months, the sect leader saw that the confrontation outside was still the same, so he agreed to Xu Mingxi's application to leave the sect.

This time, their destination was the Far North, and they were accompanied by two Titled Douluo, the Great Elder and the Second Elder, who were afraid that Xu Mingxi would come to any harm.

In the far north, there is a soul beast called the Moon-Gazing Toad, which is the target of Xu Mingxi's trip.

This kind of soul beast faces the moon every night, and over time it will even produce a moon pearl in its body, which is a precious treasure sought after by dignitaries.

The soul beast required for Xu Mingxi's fourth soul ring is roughly five thousand years old.

Moon-gazing toads of this age are mostly found in the Ice Scar Valley in the far north, and their numbers are rare.

The Ice Scar Valley is located in the middle layer of the Far North, close to the core area, and it is very likely that there are ten thousand year soul beasts. Led by the two elders, Xu Mingxi rode in a carriage and entered Zhenbei Pass.

This place was jointly built by the Tiandou Empire and the major principalities to resist the beast tide in the Far North.

Later, after an agreement was reached between the Spirit Hall and the soul beasts of the Far North, it gradually became a supply base for those who entered the Far North to hunt souls.

As a southerner who had never seen snow, Xu Mingxi didn't expect that this was the first time he saw snow on Douluo Continent.

Before entering the Far North, Xu Mingxi felt cold and bought a large amount of cold-resistant supplies at Zhenbei Pass.

I even bought two sets for the two elders. There is a kind of coldness called your grandson thinks you are cold.

As two elders of Titled Douluo, with the protection of their soul power, they can hold out in the core area, let alone the Ice Scar Valley.

However, they also took the cotton coats and put them on in front of Xu Mingxi, giving him enough face.

"Okay, two elders, let's go."

"Mingxi, wait, look who that is."

Hmm? Xu Mingxi looked in the direction of the second elder's finger. Isn't this Ling Yilan from the Tianshui team? Why is she here too?

Ling Yilan, a control-type soul master of the Tiandou team, whose martial soul is ice element, caused considerable trouble to the Canghui team during the Soul Master Competition.

Because she was not very old, she was the youngest member of the Tiandou team and was only twenty years old at that time.

Like Xu Mingxi, he is a control-type soul master and is also a very outgoing person, so the two sides are acquainted with each other.

There was an old woman next to her. Xu Mingxi guessed that she should be a member of her clan or a teacher at Tianshui College.

Xu Mingxi covered his face with his hands. The two elders were still around him and he couldn't be recognized.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Ling Yilan had already seen Xu Mingxi looking around and purchasing supplies.

"Xu Mingxi, what are you blocking? Can't you see me?"

Seeing Ling Yilan walking straight towards him, Xu Mingxi knew that there was no way to avoid her.

"I didn't block it. I was just scratching an itch. You must have seen it wrong."

"You said you didn't block it. Forget it. You are here to obtain the fourth soul skill as well. Do you want to go in together?"

Xu Mingxi refused directly. He didn't want to travel with this woman, and the two elders couldn't be exposed either.

Ling Yilan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the old woman next to her.

"Miss, since he doesn't agree, forget it."

After Ling Yilan was dragged away by the old woman, she stomped her feet in anger.

"Grandma Shuanglan, why are you stopping me? This little brother is exactly my type."

"My dear, I can't see through the two people behind him, so how can I let you go with him?"

"what!"

Ling Yilan was a little surprised, because Grandma Shuanglan was a level 68 Soul Emperor.

Even she couldn't see through it. Could it be that those two old men were Soul Saints?

The Ling family also has Soul Saints, but they are the top fighters in the clan and will not be sent out to help her obtain a fourth soul ring.

"It seems that the power behind this little brother is not simple."

The Ling family can be considered a reclusive family, living in seclusion in the northern part of the Tiandou Empire, close to the Far North, for many years.

Although there are powerful Soul Douluo, they are just stronger ants on the mainland.

Ling Yilan doesn't mind sacrificing her marriage if it can give her family a powerful backer.

Looking at the direction Xu Mingxi left, Ling Yilan's eyes flickered, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

After a while, she spoke again.

"Forget it, just let it be, you can't force it.

Grandma Shuanglan, let's go too. The sooner we get the spirit ring, the sooner we can go back."

Following in Xu Mingxi's footsteps, Ling Yilan also stepped into the far north.
