Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 - The situation on the continent

Since the number of ten thousand year soul beasts required for the fifth soul ring is relatively scarce, it is impossible to hunt down specific soul beasts like the first four soul rings.

As for the Star Crown Soul Master in charge of controlling the direction, according to the sect's long-term research, if possible, he will try to find a special soul beast.

This soul beast was the Soul Witch Butterfly, which often appeared in areas within the Star Dou Great Forest and utilized the scales on its body to make enemies hallucinate.

A soul expert of the Star Crown Sect who hunted this kind of soul beast would most likely absorb the hallucinogenic soul skill, namely Star Shining Soul Magic.

At the same time, there was also a soul-eating butterfly that appeared. After the soul-eating butterfly causes its prey to hallucinate, it will cause its prey to die in a psychedelic dream.

However, soul masters with additional direction from the Star Crown Martial Soul can absorb the soul ring of the Soul Devouring Butterfly and have the opportunity to acquire soul skills that can heal the mind.

In the Star Crown Sect, some additional soul masters absorbed the Soul Devouring Butterfly. Unfortunately, only the Fourth Elder obtained this miraculous healing skill.

"No, the Soul-Eating Butterfly is not suitable for me, although the soul skill it produces is very powerful. I prefer the Moon Enchanting Flower. I think it suits me better."

The sect leader showed an "as expected" expression, since he learned from Elder Teng that Xu Mingxi's martial soul had undergone positive changes and his first soul skill was attracting moon essence.

The sect leader began to search for information on soul beasts, but unfortunately, moon soul beasts were too rare.

The sect leader only found three types, one was the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, one was the Blood Moon Wolf, and the third type was the Moon Clutching Flower mentioned by the sect leader.

The Howling Moon Silver Wolf was similar to the Moon Watching Frog, and absorbing it would most likely increase Xu Mingxi's fascination with the moon.

The Blood Moon Wolf is a variant of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf. By absorbing this soul ring, it would most likely gain offensive soul skills. The number of Howling Moon Silver Wolves were few, let alone Blood Moon Wolves.

The most likely choice was the third, plant-type soul creature, the Moonflower.

According to the sect's records, the Moonflower most likely appeared in the Moon Lake at the intersection of the core area and the mixed area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, these were only the records of the old ancestors who conducted research hundreds of years ago. Moreover, the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest deep within the Moon Lake had never been considered by the people of the Star Crown Sect to hunt this kind of soul beast. The sect leader was unclear about the situation there.

"Mingxi, are you sure? Choose the Moon Clutching Flower as your fifth soul ring."

"Sect Master, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf and the Blood Moon Wolf are fine too, but, of course, the Moon Grabbing Flower is better."

For the Star Crown martial souls, the first two soul beasts were actually not very suitable. Some sect followers chose the wolf soul beast as the soul ring.

"Alright, now that you've made your decision, the sect will fully support you."

The sect leader looked hesitant, but finally responded with a stern look.

In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, or even on the outskirts of the core area, there was a possibility of a hundred thousand year old soul beast appearing.

A hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast is not terrifying; what is terrifying is the endless waves of soul beasts attracted by the noise of battle.

That night, the lights in the sect leader's hall were brightly lit, and the sect leader and the ten elders were all sitting there.

"Tell me, we have to help Mingxi get his spirit ring this time. The question is, what kind of team do we need to send?"

Everyone present fell silent. Of course, they all knew the importance of Xu Mingxi, but that was the core area.

Star Dou's Great Forest was not a good place. A great many soul masters were buried there every year. Not everyone was willing to risk their lives and make selfless contributions, even if it was for the future of the sect.

Besides, isn't there anyone else here?

As Xu Mingxi's grandfather, the Great Elder naturally stepped forward, and the Second Elder also went with him.

No one was surprised. Although the two often fought with each other, they had the best relationship.

Finally, the three new elders who had just become Contra looked at each other and raised their hands.

"Master, the three of us are here. We were able to break through thanks to Little Mingxi."

"Yes, Master. I never thought that I would be able to realize my dream at my age."   

The sect leader looked at the five old men in front of him. Although they all had their own thoughts, their original intentions were all good.

"I leave Mingxi to you."

"Don't worry, Sect Leader. With our array, we'll be fine as long as we don't run into a hundred thousand year old soul monster."

If Xu Mingxi were here, he would definitely stop his grandfather from putting up that flag that sounded so dangerous. Unfortunately, he was still busy taking care of his newborn baby boy.

Xu Mingxi, who was already eighteen years old, was wearing a white soul master robe with gold patterns on it that glittered in the sunlight.

His fair skin that hadn't been exposed to the sun in years, his handsome face, and Xu Mingxi's shiny blonde hair, made me wonder how many young female soul masters in love would be mesmerized by him.

Alas, this talented young soul master was overwhelmed by the baby in his arms.

"Dad, you're really great. You're usually busy cultivating, how can you have time to do this?"

The couple laughed. They didn't expect that after just a few times, they would hit the jackpot. The child was already so big, and it was a shame to have a second baby.

"Oh, Mingxi, you must take good care of your little brother in the future.

By the way, why don't you just treat her like your own child? I heard from your aunt that some soul experts out there have children at fifteen or sixteen."

Ummm.

"Mom, you have to take care of it yourself. I don't have time."

Xu Ya certainly knew that her son was busy practicing. That was why she was worried. Many high-level soul masters only cared about practicing and had no desire or ambition.

"Alright, Mom, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to pack up and leave to pick up the spirit ring tomorrow."

Xu Mingxi instantly hugged his little brother into his mother's arms, returned to the room, and shut the door with a bang.

What the hell was going on?

Xu Mingxi didn't want to be in any kind of relationship right now, he was focused on his career.

Women? That would only affect my speed of becoming a god.

In the middle of the night, Grandpa brought Xu Mingxi news of the Soul Hunting Team.

Not just the first elder, second elder, and three new elders alone, but also because two of the three new elders controlled one and attacked, the sect leader asked the fourth elder for his opinion and let him join the team as well.

Xu Mingxi's fifth soul ring caused the Xingguan Sect to mobilize its forces, including two Titled Douluo and four Soul Douluo. Only the sect master had to guard the mountain gate and couldn't leave with them.

Otherwise, this team would at least be enough to defeat the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, which was now only supported by Yu Yuanzhen.

Just two days ago, Xu Mingxi saw the latest mainland news summary on the sect leader's desk.

Due to his slow progress and weak strength, Yu Xiaogang was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and chose to go out and explore the world.

The reputation of the Haotian Sect's two stars had risen. Both of them had reached the level of Soul Saint. Ordinary Soul Douluo didn't dare to face them head on.

The Star Luo Empire seemed to sense the threat of the Spirit Hall and relaxed its suppression of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Qian Xunji was also afraid of the alliance between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, so he no longer acted so radically, but he still used many tricks in private.

Even Luo Yi, the king of Star Luo Kingdom, had sent a letter to the Star Crown Sect, and the contents of the letter showed that Wuhun Hall wanted to recruit him.

Luo Yi, however, would not take sides so easily. Before the situation became clear, no one dared to take the first step.
