Raid on Rising Sun City
Xu Mingxi told the Three Elders about his current requirements for the Ninth Soul Ring. He thought he would need to search for information about Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast again, but the First Elder gave him a big surprise.
When the First Elder was collecting information on Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in Mingdu, Xu Mingxi needed Soul Beast related to the sun, but she also bought information on other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast along the way.
"Soul Beast related to Silver Moon? I have information about it, but this Soul Beast is quite special; it's a Sea Soul Beast."
"Sea Soul Beast? Does it have a fixed habitat?"
"Yes, it is a 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Dolphin that mainly lives near an island in the southeastern sea. However, this information is from five or six years ago, and we cannot guarantee that it is still around today."
Xu Mingxi frowned slightly. Sea Soul Beast were definitely one of the Soul Beast that Soul Master least wanted to hunt, as they could escape too easily.
In the ocean, if the strength is similar, it is impossible for a non- Sea Soul Master to catch up with Sea Soul Beast. It is very likely that they will fight for a long time but end up wasting their energy.
Not to mention the 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Dolphin. Putting aside whether they could defeat it in the sea, even if they managed to, the intelligent creature would immediately flee if it sensed danger, making the chances of capturing it extremely slim.
"Grandpa, is there any other suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
The First Elder pondered for a moment, looked at Xu Mingxi for a long time, hesitated to speak, and finally nodded.
"Yes, but that was news from decades ago. A Soul Douluo once saw a silver-bodied Moon Worship Wolf King in the largest Soul Beast Forest within the Oran Empire."
At that time, it was hunting a 90,000-year-old Blazing Fire Lion. With a roar towards the sky, the Silver Moon shone down, and the wolf king, swift as lightning, killed the Blazing Fire Lion in a single bite.
"Grandpa, do you have to exaggerate like that? Even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast wouldn't be able to deal with a 90,000-year-old Soul Beast so easily."
"What do you know, you little brat? This is all from intelligence reports, supposedly based on that Soul Douluo's personal account. It's been so long, we don't even know if Silver Wolf is still around."
If what the intelligence says is true, then that Moon Worship Wolf King was already over 100,000 years old. I didn't even want to tell you about it.
When the First Elder first received this news, he put it aside, as it was far too dangerous. Decades had passed, and who knew how much the silver wolf had grown.
But Xu Mingxi didn't want to give up. He wanted to try even if there was only a sliver of a chance. If he could hunt down this Moon Worship Wolf King, it would greatly increase his chances of becoming a god.
"Grandpa, let's go take a look. Even if we can't defeat them, we should be able to retreat with ease."
Silver Moon Dolphin are hard to find, and even harder to catch; it seems their only option now is this Moon Worship Wolf King.
Moreover, the bloodline of the Moon Worship Wolf is not top-tier, not even comparable to the Sun Flame Crow, let alone the overlords among Soul Beast like the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
With the strength of the four of them, as long as the Moon Worship Wolf King's age does not exceed 200,000 years, they can still escape even if they can't defeat him.
Even without acquiring his Ninth Soul Ring, Xu Mingxi's strength has already reached the level of Titled Douluo, making it perfectly capable of Titled Douluo like Serpent Snake Lance and Blood Thorn.
The reason why Xu Zixlong is no match for Xu Mingxi is simply because his Martial Soul is among the strongest on the continent, and he is also wearing several compatible Soul Tool. Not to mention Xu Mingxi, even if Bone Douluo came, he might suffer a great defeat.
Seeing that Xu Mingxi had made up his mind, the First Elder could not say anything more, since their main purpose in coming here was to make him stronger.
"Mingxi, we can go hunt this Moon Worship Wolf King, but before that, we need to seize some Eighth-Grade Soul Tool."
Ever since being driven to the brink of despair by a group of Soul Douluo using Soul Tool, the First Elder has been filled with longing for such things. After arriving in Sea Capital, he even collected a lot of information about Soul Tool through Song Jiang.
He has even taught himself to become Level 2 Soul Engineer, and making some simple standard Soul Tool is no problem for him.
As for where to snatch Eighth-Grade Soul Tool, the First Elder had already figured it out. Rising Sun City, which had trapped them, was a good choice. As a major city of the Sun Moon Empire, it had multiple Soul Tool institutes and definitely had a lot of good stuff.
Rising Sun City? Is it really not that you want to get revenge for losing your arm back then? Well, that's not a bad idea.
Xu Mingxi's inability to deal with Xu Zixlong for the time being does not mean that he is without anger. It would be good to vent his anger while he is seizing the Soul Tool.
He nodded to the Three Elders, and before setting off, he didn't forget to find Song Jiang one last time, as they had another important matter to attend to.
"Brother Song Jiang, could you please check in Sea Capital to see if there are any navigational Soul Tool more advanced than the Shark Tooth, or any Soul Tool that could help us return to the Douluo Continent?"
"Young Master Xu, are you preparing to go back? Alright, I'll go find a way right away."
After bidding farewell to Song Jiang, Xu Mingxi and the Three Elders immediately set off for Rising Sun City. He had been unconscious in the Demon Forest for half a year, and eight years had passed since he set sail years ago. Time was really running out.
The four returned to the Rising Sun City in just two days. The city wall that the First Elder had breached had been repaired, and the soldiers guarding the city had become much more lax, as if nothing had ever happened.
When Xu Mingxi, who was wearing Mask, entered the city, he was asked to take it off for inspection. The soldiers guarding the city gate glanced at him and exclaimed that it was bad luck, then waved him in.
Xu Mingxi was not angry and obediently walked into Rising Sun City. Before entering, he took a deep look at the soldier and memorized his appearance and the position of his post.
The residents of Rising Sun City had forgotten the chaos of the past and returned to their daily lives. The city was once again bustling with activity, with crowds thronging the streets and alleys. Xu Mingxi took one last look at the scene before taking the Three Elders to the hotel closest to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Mingxi, the City Lord of Rising Sun City is an 86th-level Power Attack System Soul Douluo. He is also Level 8 Soul Engineer who is skilled in using Soul Tool Cannon. We can easily take care of him."
"Alright, we'll split up tonight. Grandpa, you and Ninth Elder will attack the Rising Sun Soul Tool Research Institute, the largest in the city, and seize all the Soul Tool data. Eighth Elder and I will raid the City Lord's Mansion."
Xu Mingxi knew that if the four of them attacked the Rising Sun City this time, it would inevitably trigger another large-scale manhunt by the Sun Moon Empire. This time, those City Lords would not be perfunctory; they needed to obtain as many high-level Soul Tool and blueprints as possible this time, as this might be their only chance.
