Chapter 53 Chance Encounter
Chapter 53 Chance Encounter
Xu Nian, once the leader of a mercenary group, was a level 79 assault-type combat soul saint. He was very lucky to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul bone during a soul hunt.
After absorbing the ten thousand year soul bone, he broke through the bottleneck and reached level 80. He was only one soul ring away from being called a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse. On the Douluo Continent, he could be considered a powerful figure.
So he began to organize people to prepare for soul hunting. The Soul Douluo masters ignored him, but the soul masters below the Soul Douluo level were a little wary because his previous mercenary group was completely wiped out.
In the end, it took a long time but the effect was minimal. Apart from him, there was only one low-level Soul Sage in the entire team who was lured here with a large sum of money.
He originally thought that with this team of two Soul Saints, four Soul Emperors, and six Soul Kings, he would be able to hunt down a 40,000 to 50,000-year-old soul beast as his eighth soul ring.
But what they didn't expect was that before they encountered a suitable soul beast, they were visited by a 60,000-year-old bald vulture.
Relying on the advantage of flying, other than Xu Nian, the other soul masters could not play much of a role. They could only huddle together to prevent the attacks of the bald vultures while watching Xu Nian get beaten.
Seeing that Xu Nian was not inferior to him, the low-level Soul Saint led his team to retreat and escape from the Star Dou Great Forest. The remaining Xu Nian was entangled by the bald vulture. It felt that as long as it swallowed the human in front of it, it would soon become an 80,000-year-old soul beast.
Xu Nian also became ruthless. The bloodline of the giant-winged eagle is higher than that of the bald eagle. If he wants to eat him, then just leave him here as a soul ring.
The huge roar caused by the fight between the two attracted the attention of a woman in a pink dress deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, and soon they were on the verge of a battle.
The woman looked with disgust at the humans who entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, as well as the bald vulture whose favorite food was soft-bone rabbits. She wished that both of them would die here.
So, she took advantage of the fight between the two, and nine soul rings emerged behind her. She kicked each of them directly into the ground.
What Xu Mingxi and others saw was a scene of a beautiful woman displaying her divine power, but only he knew who this woman with scorpion braids, wearing a pink dress, and appearing alone in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest was.
"Who is it? Come out."
The arrival of Xu Mingxi and others could be hidden from Xu Nian, but it definitely could not be hidden from the woman who was a Titled Douluo. She kicked Xu Nian, who had crawled up, back into the ground and looked vigilantly in the direction of Xu Mingxi and others.
Xu Mingxi stretched out his hand to stop the clan leader from going forward. In the Xingdou Great Forest, the woman in front of him was one of the beasts that should not be provoked the most.
Xu Nian can be killed at any time, but if he provokes the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, it will not be so easy to deal with.
Although these two beasts have not yet become hundred thousand year soul beasts, it will take a few years. Now, relying on their powerful bloodlines, ordinary hundred thousand year soul beasts are no match for them.
Xu Mingxi had the idea of taking action against these two rabbits and the two soul beasts behind them, but not now. They only had three titles and were no match for these beasts.
"We are just passing by. I think the senior has already dealt with the matter, so we won't bother you anymore."
Xu Mingxi did not wait for the woman's response and left first, signaling the sect leader and others to follow. Not long after, they heard the roar of a huge ape.
The woman stood there and watched Xu Mingxi and the others leave quietly. She could feel the powerful strength of the people on the opposite side. There was even one of them that made her feel strongly threatened. It was a good thing that they left on their own initiative.
She kicked Xu Nian, who had gotten up again, into the ground. This time, he was completely out of breath. The bald vulture, who was seriously injured and lying on the ground, was also torn to pieces by the Titan ape. The woman jumped onto the Titan ape's shoulder and returned to the Lake of Life. If possible, she hoped that no human would ever disturb the tranquility here.
"Mingxi, what happened just now?"
"Sect Master, that woman just now is not a human. No, she is a soul beast transformed into a human."
Everyone ran all the way out of the Star Dou Great Forest. The sect leader then asked Xu Mingxi about what happened just now. He clearly wanted to kill the man who was kicked into the ground with his own hands, so why did he give up in the end?
But no one expected Xu Mingxi's answer. There was actually a soul beast that could be reborn as a human and become a Titled Douluo.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask Xu Mingxi how he knew it. Dugu Bo returned to Tiandou City, and everyone from the Xingguan Sect rushed towards Xingluo Mountain.
Xu Mingxi swallowed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and with the dual effects of Yangyanwu's sacrifice, even though most of his energy was used to mutate his martial soul, his soul power had already directly rushed to level 74.
This speed of progress left the sect master dumbfounded. It was really too fast. Perhaps in a few years, the Xingguan Sect would have another elder.
The clan leader was in a very good mood along the way. Even when he was attacked by a group of blind bandits, he could still carry them away with a smile.
Unfortunately, this good mood was completely shattered when he returned to Xingguan Sect. Xingluo Emperor personally came to invite the Sect Master of Xingguan Sect to Xingluo City for a chat.
No matter how you look at it, this looks like the Hongmen Banquet. Although they are not going to surround and kill the clan leader, there are definitely some difficult things that he needs to do.
I definitely cannot refuse. I can only go and see what the situation is and then take it one step at a time.
The sect leader handed the sect affairs to several elders of the Chun generation and set off for Xingluo City. As for Xu Mingxi, the young sect leader, his most important task now is to practice.
The old star-seeking vine quietly poked its head out from the star tree and carefully observed Xu Mingxi who was sitting cross-legged below.
He was surprised to find that even though it was daytime and without the blessing of the night's starlight and moonlight, Xu Mingxi's cultivation speed did not slow down much.
He could feel that the light that the boy had guided during the day was not starlight at all. The vine swept across and accurately caught a trace of golden-red light from the seemingly white light.
This is, daylight!!! How is it possible?
Old Teng looked at Xu Mingxi in surprise. This was really too outrageous. How could a human being control the three lights of the sun, moon and stars? This was even worse than a soul beast.
The captured sunlight gradually merged into Old Teng's body, nourishing his entire soul beast. Although it was not as good as the essence of moonlight, it was gentler, longer-lasting, and larger in quantity.
The sunlight that Xu Mingxi guided during the day shone on the old vines and trees, and could even slightly speed up their growth. They had never liked the daytime so much before.
