Douluo Continent: The Silver Winged Star, a Night of Clan Extermination at the Start!

The Li Clan's banquet was held in the dining hall next to the main hall.

Although not luxurious, it exudes the heritage and power of a prominent family.

The heavy wooden table can seat more than twenty people, but only five are seated at this moment.

Titan sat at the head of the table, with his son Tyno and grandson Tyron on his left, and Bai Chen on his right. An elder from the clan also sat below him.

The table was laden with dishes, mostly meat, prepared in a rustic and hearty style.

Whole roasted deer leg, tender stewed soul beast ribs, and meat soup the size of a washbasin, accompanied by a large jar of strong liquor.

The aroma, mingled with the scent of alcohol, emanated warmth under the illumination of the Soul Guide Lamp.

Titan personally placed a large piece of the tenderest deer leg meat on Bai Chen's plate, his voice booming and full of pride.

"Child, eat more! You're so thin, you must have suffered a lot in the countryside."

"From now on, there's plenty of meat with Grandpa!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Titan."

Bai Chen thanked him politely and ate in small bites.

The meat was stewed until very tender and flavorful; it was the most exquisite meal he had eaten in years.

Taino was a burly man around forty years old, who looked about seven-tenths like Titan, but was slightly less imposing.

He picked up his wine bowl and solemnly addressed Bai Chen.

"Nephew Bai Chen, although I am not close to your father Bai Ming, we met several times during the Soul Master Gathering in Tian Dou City."

"Brother Bai Ming is humble and righteous; he is a true hero."

"I am deeply gratified to see an old friend today!"

"This bowl of wine is offered to your parents in heaven, and also to you for the hardships you've endured along the way!"

After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank it all, leaving the bowl empty.

Bai Chen stood up, offered tea instead of wine, and bowed in return.

"Uncle Xie Tainuo."

Tyrone couldn't contain himself any longer and came over to put his arm around Bai Chen's shoulder, chuckling.

"Chen-di, don't be so reserved! From now on, you're my own little brother!"

"My name is Tailong, I'm twelve years old, a level 23 Power Attack type Great Soul Master, my Martial Soul is the Mighty Ape!"

"From now on in Heaven Dou City, if anyone dares to bully you, just say my name!"

"You brat, you have no manners!"

Taino glared at his son, but he was happy to see their affection.

Tailong stuck out his tongue and winked at Bai Chen.

"Brother Chen, you really have innate full soul power? And a dragon martial soul at that? That's amazing!"

"I'm only at the sixth level of the Innate Realm, and my dad always says that my talent is not as good as his."

"Now someone even more formidable has appeared. Let's see what he says about me now!"

"You talk too much!"

Taino made a move as if to hit him, and Tailong quickly ducked back.

The atmosphere at the table gradually became lively.

Titan asked Bai Chen about the details of his life over the years, and Bai Chen answered them one by one, avoiding sensitive points.

I only know that he was adopted by a farmer and grew up safely.

When asked about his awakening of his martial soul, he frankly admitted that it was due to his innate full soul power.

However, the specific abilities of the Sky Comet were only mentioned as "not yet familiar, and need to be explored slowly."

"A dragon martial soul with innate full soul power..."

A mixture of envy and seriousness flashed in Taino's eyes.

"Nephew, now that you have awakened, have you absorbed your first spirit ring?"

"If you haven't found one yet, your father and I will take you to Sunset Forest tomorrow to hunt for a suitable soul ring."

"With Father and me protecting you, I can't guarantee you'll find a thousand-year-old soul beast, but I'll definitely find you a top-tier soul beast with four or five hundred years of cultivation!"

This is a great act of goodwill.

The limit for a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is usually around 423 years.

Being able to hunt down spirit beasts close to their limits is crucial for early development.

With Soul Douluo and Soul Emperor personally protecting them, there is absolutely no chance of failure.

However, he knew about the relationship between the Titans and the Power Clan and Tang Hao.

Bai Chen still didn't want to owe too many favors.

Therefore, Bai Chen thought for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and politely declined.

"Uncle Xie Tainuo is so kind!"

"However... my Heavenly Comet Martial Soul is a mutation, unlike ordinary dragons."

"Young man, you are not yet clear about its characteristics, potential, and development direction. If you rashly absorb the soul ring, it may be a waste of your talent."

"I want to consult the classic texts first to understand the characteristics of various spirit beasts, and then combine them with the characteristics of my own martial spirit to choose the most suitable direction before making any plans."

That makes a lot of sense.

Taino was taken aback, then burst into laughter and slammed his hand on the table.

"Good! Good boy! You're thoughtful and patient!"

"His dedication to learning and research is far superior to that of my lazy son!"

He turned around and started cursing at Tyrone.

"Look at your little brother Chen! He's only six years old, and he already knows about studying classic texts and planning his future!"

"And you? You're twelve years old. Besides fighting and causing trouble, how many books have you actually touched?"

Tyrone was gnawing on a meat bone when his father suddenly called on him. He choked so badly that his eyes rolled back. He finally managed to swallow it and said with a bitter face.

"Dad! Can you please stop embarrassing me in front of Chen?"

"I...I'll take Chendi to the library tomorrow! I want to read too! Okay?"

Everyone laughed.

Titan stroked his beard and nodded, his gaze toward Bai Chen growing increasingly loving and gratified.

"Xiao Chen is so thoughtful."

"Although my Li clan is known for its strength, we have also accumulated a considerable collection of books over the generations."

"Tomorrow, let Tyrone take you to the library. Feel free to browse through all sorts of soul beast illustrations, martial soul treatises, and continental geography."

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask Grandpa or your Uncle Taino."

"Thank you, Grandpa Titan."

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Bai Chen could only express his gratitude.

"Oh, right!"

Titan seemed to remember something and gave instructions to the old man below him.

"Tai'an, make arrangements immediately. Have the 'Flying Feather' team send two people to depart tonight for Maple Leaf City on the border of the Star Luo Empire."

"The Min clan is currently residing there temporarily."

"Tell Old White Crane that his grandson, Bai Chen, is still alive and in my Power Clan. Tell him to come quickly!"

The old man, referred to as Tai'an, stood up solemnly.

"Yes, Chieftain. The 'Flying Feather' squad should arrive by tomorrow noon at the earliest."

"Okay, go ahead."

Tai'an bowed and withdrew.

Titan looked at Bai Chen and said gently.

"If your grandfather knew you were still alive, he would be overjoyed. He's suffered so much these past years."

Bai Chen nodded silently, clenching his fist under his sleeve.

That night, Bai Chen stayed in the side room next to Tai Long's.

The bedding was soft and the room was quiet.

He practiced for a long time but still felt no sleepiness and was unable to fall asleep.

The moonlight outside the window was cold and clear, shining through the windowpane and onto the ground like frost and snow.

My parents' faces are now somewhat blurry in my memory.

But that warmth and resolve remain as clear as yesterday.

Grandpa Bai He... and my younger sister Bai Chenxiang...

Will he finally be able to meet his two remaining closest relatives in this world?

Bai Chen felt a surge of emotion he could hardly contain.

And revenge!

The Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao... these names weighed heavily on my heart like boulder.

He needs strength, he needs to grow up quickly.

The potential of the Heavenly Comet Dragon Martial Soul is beyond doubt.

However, how to develop it, how to choose the soul rings, and how to match the soul skills all require careful planning.

"We can't rush it..."

He took a deep breath and said to himself.

One wrong step and the whole game is lost.

What I need most right now is knowledge and resources.

"The Clan of Strength is a temporary residence, but the Clan of Agility... will be my true starting point!"

Early the next morning.

Bai Chen had just finished washing up when Tai Long burst in.

"Brother Chen! Come on, let your big brother take you to explore Heaven Dou City!"

Tyrone changed into a brand new brown outfit, his hair was slicked back and he looked very energetic.

"Since you're new here, you should definitely see the splendor of the imperial capital!"

"What a coincidence! Tianshui College is having a performance at the City Center Grand Theater today. Their generation of the 'Tianshui Girls' Troupe' was incredibly famous; tickets were always hard to come by!"

"I finally managed to get two front-row tickets!"

Bai Chen originally intended to go to the library first.

Seeing that Tyrone was in high spirits, she couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so she nodded in agreement.
