Chapter 77 Star and Moon Fusion
Chapter 77 Star and Moon Fusion
“Ahhhh, is this really a test that a soul master can complete?”
Xu Mingxi collapsed to the ground, his sweat soaking the ground. Looking at the Yangyan Bird and Hanyue Bird flying in the sky, the sadness in his heart was like a flood bursting through a dam, unable to stop surging.
Half a year had passed since the high priest brought him to this arena-like valley. Although his skills and his use of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars had improved a lot, he was no match for these two hundred thousand year old soul beasts.
Thinking of what the high priest said, that this was only the first round of the second test, Xu Mingxi wanted to cry. What would the next two rounds be like?
The sun and the moon are always still in the Sun and Moon Valley, with no changes between day and night. Xu Mingxi took a short rest, regrouped and started today's review.
Yangyanwu and Hanyue Bird have both mastered the skill of changing their size, and can change their body size to the size of a parrot at the smallest, and at an incredibly fast speed.
Among the three lights controlled by Xu Mingxi, starlight is the fastest, moonlight is the most flexible, and sunlight has the strongest attack power. Only starlight can catch up with the speed of the two soul beasts, but can be easily broken by them, and the other two cannot even touch them.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and pondered for a long time. He could become more proficient in using the Three Lights, but it was impossible to improve the intensity and speed in a short time.
The only solution Xu Mingxi could think of now was that maybe he could try to merge the starlight and the moonlight. Would it be possible to get a new kind of light that could catch up with the two soul beasts while not allowing them to escape easily?
The two soul beasts saw that Xu Mingxi was not there.
After attacking again, they flew back to the nest to love each other, leaving Xu Mingxi alone outside to keep trying.
Starlight appeared in one hand and moonlight appeared in the other. He wanted to merge the two. However, the moment the two came close, they repelled each other. Xu Mingxi forcefully controlled the two to merge, but it directly caused an explosion. The power was not great, but it did scare Xu Mingxi.
This kind of explosion was too weak and consumed too much mental energy, so it could not be used as a common means of attack. Instead, it created a huge obstacle for Xu Mingxi to blend starlight and moonlight.
Xu Mingxi learned his lesson. He no longer placed the two light spots in front of him to merge. Instead, he spent more of his mind making them merge in the distance. The sound of explosions continued in the valley.
The Yangyanwu couple were very unhappy about being disturbed in their nest. The Hanyue Bird spurted out a breath of silver light, which directly froze the entire entrance of the cave. They pretended to be deaf and dumb. If they wanted to capture them, they would have to wait for half a year.
Xu Mingxi ignored the movement above, he knew that it was impossible for him to capture these two hundred thousand year old soul beasts now, the best thing to do was to seize the time to improve himself.
What he needs to do now is to continuously improve his control over starlight and moonlight until they can fit together perfectly.
The high priest watched Xu Mingxi trying to merge in the dark, and he was not optimistic. Although he had never seen a human who mastered these three energies at the same time, it was not easy to merge starlight and moonlight.
The test is still ongoing and there is no time limit. He still has a few decades to live and can definitely wait. If those people in the valley want to cause trouble, don't blame him for wanting to kill them.
Xu Mingxi's arrival made the residents of Sun Moon Valley restless. Led by the two elders, almost everyone was eager to leave this small world.
It's not that the high priest didn't let them go. The Sun and Moon Gods didn't set up daily entrances and exits to the Sun and Moon Valley. Only the high priest and the challenger can enter and exit freely, and everyone else can only enter but not leave.
The once peaceful village road unexpectedly broke out into a quarrel today. The top leaders of the two clearly divided sides sat together for a rare occasion.
"Jinlin, don't be so excited. No matter how excited you are, you will never be a match for the high priest. It's better to relax." "Yinlin, stop pretending. Aren't you the one who wants to get out the most among us?"
The Sun Moon Valley village is divided into two branches, one branch has the Scarlet Flame Bird spirit, the other has the Frozen Bird spirit. They had frictions in the past, but now they can barely sit together peacefully, all because of the two elders, Jin Lin and Yin Lin, who are also the only two Titled Douluo in the two branches.
Even though they quarreled fiercely, they were able to unite the two factions. Their relationship was not that of enemies. Although they were not very close, they could be considered comrades-in-arms who shared the same hatred and enemy.
For many years, the two lineages have been living in the Sun and Moon Valley, but the information passed down from generation to generation tells them how rich and colorful the outside world is.
At the same time, it also let the two elders know that their strength is enough to dominate the outside world, which made them want to leave this cramped little place and go out to enjoy life.
This was not the first time they had asked the high priest for help, but each time they were refused on the grounds that there was no way to let them out. This reason naturally did not satisfy them.
In their opinion, since the high priest could go in and out, they must be able to do so too, he just wanted them to stay in the valley.
This idea has been circulating in the village for many years, but it was not until the emergence of two Titled Douluo in this generation that it was fully revealed.
The villagers obtain their soul rings mostly from the soul beasts they tamed. Even though the environment in the Sun Moon Valley is favorable and the resources are abundant, the maximum age of these soul beasts is no more than ten thousand years. The two elders were able to become Titled Douluo only thanks to the two sets of soul bones passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Although these soul bones are only a few thousand years old, and at most no more than 20,000 years old, their accumulation has allowed them to break through the bottleneck of Titled Douluo.
But the long-term peace, coupled with the fact that they are the strongest in the tribe, makes them sit in the well and look at the world, and they have no idea how big the gap is between them and the high priest and the Titled Douluo powerhouses in the outside world.
It can be said that although both of them are titles, they may not be able to beat Xu Mingxi together.
"Stop arguing. Isn't there a new challenger in the valley? The high priest said that as long as he succeeds, we can get out."
"Hmph, a challenger, he is not worthy. I really don't know what the high priest is thinking, and he is looking for someone from outside. If you ask me, just choose one of us two to succeed. The two of us Titled Douluo are not stronger than him, a Soul Douluo."
"Don't say that. The high priest is old and sometimes he gets confused."
The high priest who was far away in the arena suddenly shook his head. These people had really been in Sun Moon Valley for too long. They didn't really think that whoever had more spirit rings would be stronger.
If these people behaved well and didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't mind sending them away when the Sun Moon Valley was destroyed, and then teaching them some common sense about the outside world.
But if anything goes wrong, just bury him in this beautiful Sun and Moon Valley, and don’t go out and harm the image of Lord Sun God and Lord Moon God.
