Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 38 Memories
Ever since Xu Mingxi was betrayed by his team leader, he began wandering alone in the Star Dou Great Forest, being wary of everyone around him.

Talking about his past experiences, he directly took out a box from the storage soul guide ring and handed it to the great elder.

The Great Elder took it and opened it. He was stunned for a moment. Inside was a soul bone. Judging from its appearance, it should be a left leg bone of about 30,000 years old.

"Mingxi, where did this come from?"

A 30,000-year-old soul bone is an absolute rarity even in the Xingguan Sect. With Xu Mingxi's strength, it should be impossible for him to hunt and obtain it alone.

Xu Mingxi looked at the 30,000-year-old soul bone emitting light in the box and fell into memories.

He only remembered that it was a clear day and he could enjoy the beautiful night sky and the twinkling stars.

Originally, he was sitting cross-legged in the center of the lair of a thousand-year-old purple moon bear soul beast, meditating and practicing.

But a sudden loud noise interrupted his practice. Xu Mingxi walked out of the cave, stepped lightly, and jumped onto the treetop next to him.

As far as the eye could see, trees kept falling down. A soul beast shaped like an ape leaped up with a roar, and smashed down with its fists clenched together.

There was a figure carrying a huge hammer on the ground. He stomped his left foot hard, the ground shattered, the figure flew into the air, and the huge hammer was swung out. The two collided, and a huge roar broke out.

"This giant ape should be around 30,000 years old. That hammer should be the Clear Sky Hammer."

Xu Mingxi muttered as he quickly hid in the woods nearby. He saw that the giant ape had the upper hand in the clash with the man from Haotian Sect, but he did not pursue the victory. Instead, he fled for his life, heading towards him.

Sure enough, Xu Mingxi, who was hiding behind the bushes, saw the man in black robe leap into the air and chase after the giant ape, and behind him, there were also several figures holding the Clear Sky Hammer.

The giant ape seemed to be already injured and was soon caught up. The leader smashed it with a hammer and directly stopped it. The sixth and last soul ring on its body lit up, and the Clear Sky Hammer was emitting a faint black light.

He held the Clear Sky Hammer in both hands, raised it high, and smashed it down at the giant ape, forcing it to stop. He waited for others to arrive. The giant ape fell down in endless despair and turned into a black soul ring.

The leader of the Haotian Sect sat cross-legged on the ground, pulling the soul ring. Just when he had just absorbed the soul ring, a roar was heard, and a giant ape fell from the sky. There was a huge scar on its chest, and its body was even bigger than the previous one.

"Eighty thousand year old giant ape, run."

At the command given by the leader of Haotian Sect, the others hesitated for a moment, but still decided to retreat. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Sharp-tailed Swift Soul Master who had been flying in the sky and observing the surroundings exclaimed.

"There is a soul bone in the body of that giant ape, and we haven't had time to take it yet."

The leader of the Haotian Sect turned around suddenly and saw the faint glow of the soul bone on the left leg of the 30,000-year-old giant ape on the ground.

His head hurt a little, and when absorbing the spirit ring, he would not touch the body of the spirit beast so as not to disturb the person absorbing the spirit ring.

Unexpectedly, an 80,000-year-old giant ape appeared at the last minute, and the 30,000-year-old ape actually revealed its soul bone.

There are now only two options before the Haotian Sect: either fight against the 80,000-year-old giant ape, or lose this soul bone forever.

The leader of the Haotian Sect thought about it again and again, and decided to take action. The soul bone of the giant ape is definitely one of the most suitable soul bones for the Haotian Hammer soul master, and they only need to temporarily hold the giant ape and let the white ibis retrieve the soul bone. Once the leader's order came out, the other people in the Haotian Sect naturally would not object. Retrieving the soul bone would be a great achievement for the Haotian Sect, and their status in the sect and the resources they can obtain would be greatly improved.

The seventh soul ring that the team leader had just obtained lit up immediately, and he led all the soul masters forward.

The giant ape felt the breath of his son in the black soul ring opposite, and a tear shed from the corner of his eye. His eyes were red, and bloodstains appeared on his body. He pounced directly towards the crowd.

Taking this opportunity, Bai Ibis's second and third soul rings lit up at the same time. He flew and stepped on a swallow. His figure passed under the arm of the giant ape. While it was not yet reacting, he landed in front of the 30,000-year-old giant ape's corpse and chopped it down with the sharp blade in his hand.

"Captain, hold on a little longer. I can't cut it down."

The Spine-tailed Swift's martial spirit was incredibly fast, but it had no offensive capabilities. Although the weapon in the White Ibis's hand was sharp, it still seemed somewhat powerless in front of the thick skin of the 30,000-year-old giant ape.

By the time he dug out the soul bone, the leader of the Haotian Sect was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. Bai Ibis wanted to retreat with the soul bone. The 80,000 year old giant ape wanted to stop him, but was stopped at the risk of his life by the fighting soul masters.

No one noticed that there was someone hiding in the woods along the white ibis' retreat route.

Xu Mingxi, who was hiding in the bushes, had no idea. As he looked at the white ibis getting closer and closer to him, he became ruthless and condensed starlight in his hands. At the moment when the white ibis thought it was safe and retreated and smiled, the bright starlight flashed and directly shattered his head.

"How dare you, little thief."

"You are so brave."

The people of Haotian Sect watched Xu Mingxi kill the white ibis and take away his soul bone. They were about to give chase, but unfortunately they were stopped by the crazy giant ape and could only watch him leave.

By the time they defeated the giant ape, Xu Mingxi had long disappeared, so they could only search everywhere. Finally, based on their rough memory, they drew a picture of Xu Mingxi's appearance at that time and put a wanted list on the continent.

"That's probably what happened. Don't look at me like that. It's not like I wanted to provoke the Clear Sky Sect. Who knew that the Sharp-tailed Swift Spirit Master would just fly right into my face?"

Xu Mingxi felt the strange looks from his three family members and made a false rebuttal.

So what if they are from the Haotian Sect? I can kill them if I want, and snatch their soul bones if I want. How can they find me?

Xu Mingxi was not afraid at all. What's more, the Haotian Sect would not make a big fuss for a person from a affiliated family. They were only after this soul bone. Did they really dare to reveal the news of the soul bone?

The treasure of the Blood River is very tempting, but it is still unknown to whom this soul bone will belong.

The Great Elder also told Xu Mingxi about some of the things that happened in the sect in the past three years. The biggest change was that after Xu Mingxi's father absorbed a hundred thousand year soul bone, he was now a soul douluo at level 82.

And what he got in Jueyun Gorge that year, the soul guide, was given to some people in the sect who were researching this aspect. After studying it for a long time, they found nothing and did not dare to use it for fear of damaging the spirits of the sect's disciples.

They could only break open the soul guide with force and take out the soul bone inside. After identification by the sect leader, it was most likely a left leg bone about 70,000 years old, and of spiritual nature.

After discussion between the sect master and the elders, Xu Mingguang was given his fifth soul skill, the Starry Soul-Bewitching, which was taken from a twelve thousand year old Soul-Bewitching Butterfly. This soul bone was just right for him.
