Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 454 Ning Rongrong Wins the Star Crown
"Star Crown?"

Upon hearing the name, both Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were slightly startled. Dai Mubai quickly said, "This thing has the same name as the Xu family's inherited martial soul."

"Xu family?"

Dai Mubai smiled wryly: "The Xu family of the hidden sect, Star Crown Sect, possesses the Star Crown Martial Soul, which is one of the top martial souls in our Star Luo Empire. It can even be said to be the strongest martial soul within our Star Luo Empire. It is positioned as a support-type martial soul. The Star Crown Martial Soul is even comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Rongrong."

"From a purely support perspective, the Star Crown Martial Soul may not be as good as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. However, the Star Crown is not just for support; it also possesses strong combat capabilities. In terms of support, it is obsessively focused on enhancing combat power. This is quite different from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's comprehensive enhancement of attack, defense, speed, and spirit. It can be said that the Star Crown Martial Soul exists almost entirely for combat."

"It feels a bit like a power-attack type support Soul Master."

Both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Star Crown have their advantages and disadvantages. While the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda possesses an incredibly powerful treasure-hunting ability, its weakness is that it cannot reach the level of Contra Douluo, getting stuck at level 79. The Star Crown, while not having this drawback, also lacks the special ability of treasure hunting.

However, Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is definitely much stronger than the Star Crown Martial Soul.

Ning Rongrong tilted her head upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, and asked in confusion, "How come I've never heard of such a powerful martial soul?"

Zhu Zhuqing explained, "Because the Star Crown Sect is a very low-key, reclusive sect, they generally don't appear in public. Moreover, the Xu family has a small population, so very few people know about this martial soul."

The so-called sparse population in Douluo Continent doesn't mean there are few children, but rather that the probability of the remaining children inheriting a martial soul is very low. The Clear Sky Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are known as the Three Upper Sects mainly because the probability of the next generation inheriting a martial soul is very high, so they don't keep mutating weaker martial souls, which would lead to a sparse population.

"The Spirit Hall once compiled a list of the top ten spirits in Douluo Continent, and the Star Crown Spirit was among them."

Ning Rongrong looked at the black, star-like crown in Tang San's hand, which resembled a dark crown, and asked in confusion, "What does this thing have to do with the Star Crown Sect's martial soul? Why is it here?"

Dai Mubai said, "However, this crown is somewhat different from the Star Crown Martial Souls I have seen before. The Star Crown Martial Souls I have seen seem to be composed of countless stars, all of which are a light gold color. The entire crown is golden yellow, starting from a rhombus-shaped gemstone, and quickly converges backward. There are a total of eighteen larger stars protruding upward on the crown, forming a beautiful circle of tips."

"But the stars on this crown are dim and the whole thing is black, though the shape does look like it."

Tang San said, "Because this is a soul tool, not a martial soul. Perhaps someone once created this soul tool based on the Star Crown Martial Soul, or it is possible that the Star Crown Martial Soul is related to this soul tool. As for what it is, we don't know."

Tang San's statement that the Star Crown Martial Soul is related to this Soul Tool is not mere speculation.

[Soul Tool: Star Crown (Quasi-Divine Artifact) (Corrupted)]

Tang San's immediate reason for picking up the star crown was undoubtedly because the most valuable item here was this quasi-divine artifact, the star crown, which was currently corrupted by the power of the evil god and thus could not reveal its true form.

Tang San glanced at Dai Mubai and said, "Does everyone have any objections to giving this star crown to Rongrong?"

Everyone present knew that Star Crown must be closely related to Star Crown Sect, and Star Crown Sect had just existed in Star Luo Empire for a long time. In fact, the name of Star Luo Empire contained the character "Star," so there must be a lot of connections between them.

Tang San was also very clever; he didn't use it for himself, but gave it directly to Ning Rongrong. Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong were old teammates and classmates, so even if he were the emperor of the empire, he wouldn't object.

As expected, Dai Mubai did not object when he heard that Tang San was going to give it to Ning Rongrong. He said, "If it's for Rongrong, that would be the best. With the addition of the Glazed Pagoda and the Star Crown, Rongrong's support ability will definitely be even better."

Tang San then glanced around and said, "I have achieved my goal. There should still be some of the legacy left by your late emperor here. I will not get involved anymore. I will take my leave now."

Tang San cupped his hands in a respectful greeting and left without even turning back. Seeing that Tang San didn't continue looting, Dai Mubai and the others were dumbfounded. Had their young sect leader lost his mind?!

However, this is not the case.

Tang San and the others rested at the accommodations arranged by Dai Mubai. Not only Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, but also Bingdi and Xuedi were there, resulting in a serious gender imbalance.

"Third Brother, how do I use this Star Crown?" Tang San kept his word and gave the Star Crown to Ning Rongrong. However, no matter how much soul power Ning Rongrong poured into it, the Star Crown did not react.

"It can't be used yet. This star crown has been corrupted by the power of the evil god and needs to be purified first."

"Purification? But I don't have any purification-related soul skills."

Tang San smiled and said, "To purify the power of evil, one must seek out angels."

Third Brother, you mean...?

"Spirit Hall."

!!!

Upon hearing Tang San mention the Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu, Bing Di, and Xue Di each displayed a different expression. As spirit beasts, they had heard of the Spirit Hall during their spirit beast days, and it wasn't exactly a friendly place for them.

Tang San said, "Don't rush. After we finish dealing with other matters, I also need to go to the Spirit Hall to see if there's any way to remove the mark left by the Evil God. If there's anyone in the world who can remove the mark left by the Evil God, it's probably only the Six-Winged Angel."

Tang San would naturally not go to the Pope. Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is more powerful than the Pope's, and Qian Renxue also possesses the Nine Trials and the Six-Winged Angel Soul Bone Set. She is the true inheritor of the Six-Winged Angel.

Moreover, the two are quite familiar with each other.

With a snap of his fingers, Tang San led everyone into the treasure pearl space. When Tang San arrived in the special space, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm immediately ran over, carrying something in its tail.

"Third Master, this." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm placed the thing on its tail directly in front of Tang San.

When everyone saw what it was, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had incredibly interesting expressions and extremely strange looks.

Skeleton! This is a skeleton! And it is highly likely that this is the remains of Dai Hu, the ancestor of the Star Luo Empire!
They were wondering why Tang San hadn't looted the place; if Dai Hu were truly a Limit Douluo, he would surely possess a soul bone. Now they knew why: the super support, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, had secretly collected the spoils for Tang San without their knowledge.

This assistant is amazing; it can even automatically pick up items with a single click.

"Third Master, there's a soul bone that's perfect for you." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't hold back either, snapping off the right leg bone of the ancestor with a snap.

As Tang San's intelligent soul ring, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm naturally knows what soul bones Tang San is currently lacking.
