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

But seeing the white crane's heartfelt joy and pride, his years of pent-up frustration vanished, and he looked as if he had become ten years younger, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to dampen its spirits.

She silently withdrew the illusory image of the Heavenly Comet Dragon and stepped forward to support her grandfather, who was swaying slightly from excitement.

"Grandpa, please calm down."

"Calm down? How can Grandpa calm down?!"

Bai He grabbed Bai Chen's arm with surprising force, his eyes shining like the blazing sun.

"Innate full soul power! And such a powerful dragon martial soul!"

"Chen'er, do you know what this means? A Titled Douluo! You have at least a 70% chance of becoming a Titled Douluo! Even... a Super Douluo is possible!"

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, but his voice still trembled.

"Good! Good! Excellent! Chen'er, now that you've awakened and your soul power has reached level ten, your top priority is to acquire your first soul ring!"

"Grandpa will go and prepare now. Tomorrow... no, this afternoon, Grandpa will personally take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt the most suitable first spirit ring for you!"

Bai Chen already had a plan in mind, and upon hearing this, he spoke up.

"Grandpa, could we postpone the hunt for spirit rings for a few days?"

Why?

The white crane was taken aback.

"The Heavenly Comet Martial Soul has a unique mutation, and I am not yet very clear about its characteristics, potential, and development direction."

Bai Chen said earnestly.

"The first spirit ring is crucial to one's foundation and should not be taken lightly."

"I want to spend a few days consulting the clan's records, especially those about dragon-type spirit beasts and flying spirit beasts, and then combine that with my own feelings to choose the most suitable direction."

Upon hearing this, the white crane's eyes showed even greater admiration.

He patted his grandson's shoulder hard.

"Good! Meticulous, calm, and thoughtful in planning! This is my grandson, Baihe! Much more composed than your father was back then!"

He stroked his beard and pondered.

"You may freely browse the books in the clan's collection."

"Although my Min clan is known for its speed, we have also accumulated knowledge of all the spirit beasts and martial spirits in the world over the generations."

"At the same time, our clan has been studying the Swift Martial Soul for generations, pursuing the development direction of extreme speed, and has also made great achievements in movement techniques, creating the Soul Skill: 'Nine Flashes Through the Void'."

"This is the core heritage of my clan. Now that you have returned to the clan, I will teach you it on a chosen day."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Bai Chen felt suppressed, but he wasn't surprised.

After all, the Power Clan also has its own created Soul Skill: Iron Forging Hand.

"But Chen'er."

The white crane's expression turned serious.

"Your martial spirit matter must not be discussed with outsiders for the time being."

"A dragon martial soul with innate full soul power is too amazing. If it gets out, it may attract unnecessary attention, or even... trouble."

"Within the clan, they will only say that you have a high-quality mutated martial soul and considerable innate soul power."

"Specific details need not be disclosed except to Grandpa and a few core elders."

"Grandson understands."

Bai Chen nodded. This was exactly what he wanted.

"Okay, then you go to the library first."

"Grandpa is going to arrange some clan affairs. Come find Grandpa whenever you're ready."

"Grandpa will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest then."

The white crane affectionately patted his head.

Bai Chen bowed and left the study.

The sun shines brightly outside, and the maple leaves in the courtyard are just beginning to turn red.

He clenched his fist, feeling the stillness and pulsation of the Heavenly Comet Dragon Martial Soul within his body.

The first step is to return to the Min clan and get back into sight!

The second step is to acquire knowledge and plan for the future.

What should I choose for my first spirit ring to maximize the power of this "natural disaster" from another world?

He strode towards the library he remembered passing by yesterday.

......

Maple Leaf City, the Min Clan, the Library.

On the third floor, by the window, Bai Chen closed the last volume of "A Study of the Mythical Beasts of the Star Dragon" and let out a soft sigh of relief.

On the desk in front of him lay more than a dozen pages of densely packed notes.

The information on dozens of soul beasts is recorded in a categorized manner: name, age determination, habitat, characteristics, possible soul skill tendencies, hunting difficulty and risk rating.

Golden-winged Thunder Roc, Lightning Falcon, Wind and Thunder Falcon, Purple Lightning Eagle, Dragon Blood Winged Bird, Thunderwing Flying Dragon...

Each name is followed by a detailed analysis of its advantages and disadvantages.

He circled the most likely possibilities with a vermilion pen and wrote down his thoughts next to them.

The Heavenly Comet Dragon Martial Soul excels in: extreme speed, a powerful dragon body, aerial maneuverability, and unknown dragon energy.

First Soul Ring Direction:

[1] Enhance rapid dash (preferably a wind or lightning attribute flying soul beast)

[2] Develop Dragon Energy Attack (requires Dragon Bloodline or a Soul Beast with Special Energy Attributes)

[3] Complete the defense or control (not considered for now; the initial focus should be on maximizing the advantages).

Conclusion: Prioritize finding spirit beasts with lightning attributes, flight ability, and dragon bloodline, aged around 500 years to ensure the quality of the spirit rings and to ensure the body can withstand them.

He carefully put the notebook away and placed it in his pocket.

After three days of research and reflection, I have a general idea in mind.

The Min clan's library may not be as vast as that of the three upper sects or the Spirit Hall, but its records of flying and agile spirit beasts are particularly detailed.

With his own understanding of the characteristics of the Sky Comet, his chosen direction was already clear.

Next, we will head to the Soul Beast Forest to turn the name on the paper into a real soul ring.

He got up and went downstairs, walked through the quiet courtyard, and came to the study in the main courtyard where his grandfather, Baihe, lived.

"Grandpa, your grandson requests an audience."

"Chen'er? Come in."

The gentle voice of a white crane came from inside the door.

Bai Chen pushed open the door and entered.

The white crane was standing by the window, its hands behind its back, gazing at the gradually reddening maple leaves in the courtyard. Hearing the sound, it turned around and a kind smile appeared on its face.

"Are you comfortable staying in the library? Have you found any useful books?"

"I benefited greatly."

Bai Chen bowed respectfully, then straightened up and looked at Bai He with clear eyes.

"Grandpa, I have consulted relevant ancient texts and have some initial ideas about the choice of my first spirit ring."

"I feel... it's time to go hunt for spirit rings."

Upon hearing this, Bai He was taken aback at first, then a broad, joyful smile spread across his face, and his loud laughter echoed throughout the study.

"Haha! Excellent! My grandson certainly knows how to do things systematically!"

"Don't act rashly or hastily, plan carefully before you act, good!"

"Now that you're ready, let's not delay, Grandpa will take you there!"

He strode up to Bai Chen, patted his grandson's shoulder hard, his eyes filled with pride and anticipation.

"Tell Grandpa, which gathering place of spirit beasts do you want to go to? The Starfall Forest is closer, but there are relatively fewer top-level spirit beasts there; the Star Dou Great Forest is farther away, but it has the most complete variety of spirit beasts, and the chance of encountering rare and powerful spirit beasts is also higher."

"Let's go to the Starry Sky Forest."

Bai Chen did not hesitate.

To find the rarest soul beast that best matches the Sky Comet Dragon, one must go to the largest treasure vault.

"You've got ambition! Then go for it!"

The white crane was decisive and efficient.

"Go back and pack quickly, we'll leave immediately!"

The news quickly spread within a small circle of the clan.

When Bai He brought Bai Chen to the manor gate, the Second Elder Bai Peng and several core clan members were already waiting there, with Bai Chenxiang, whose eyes were slightly red, being led by her mother.

"Brother, please be careful on this trip. The Star Dou Great Forest is not like other places."

Bai Peng stepped forward and solemnly gave him his instructions.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

"I'll leave the clan affairs to my second brother."

Baihe nodded, then looked at her hesitant granddaughter beside her, her expression softening.

"Xiangxiang, what's wrong?"

Bai Chenxiang broke free from her mother's hand, ran over, looked up at Bai Chen with her little face, and her voice was choked with reluctance.

"Brother Chen...you, you should come back soon after you've obtained the spirit ring."

"Xiangxiang, I'm waiting for you to come back. I'll show you the new words I've learned."

Looking into the little girl's sincere eyes, Bai Chen felt a surge of tenderness. He squatted down, gently patted her head, and smiled.

"Okay, Xiangxiang, be a good girl and study hard at home. Your brother will be back soon to check your homework."

"Okay! Pinky promise!"

Bai Chenxiang extends her little finger.

Bai Chen smiled and made a pinky promise with her.

The little girl then stopped crying and smiled, waving vigorously, "Goodbye, Brother Chen! Goodbye, Grandpa!"

"Let's go!"

Bai He didn't delay any longer. He nodded to everyone and bowed, gesturing for Bai Chen to come up.

Bai Chen leaned against his grandfather's broad yet lean back.

With a slight push from its feet, the white crane soared several meters into the air, a pale blue halo flowing behind it. A pair of solid, ethereal swift wings suddenly unfolded, their wingspan exceeding four meters, light yet full of power.

"pay close attention!"

Before the words were even finished, the wings flapped violently!

"Whoosh—!"

A sharp, piercing sound rang out as the two transformed into streaks of azure light, instantly passing over Maple Leaf City and hurtling towards the Starry Sky Forest in the southwest. Their speed was so great that they left a faint azure trail in the sky.
