Douluo: Return of the Killing Star, Starting by Settling Scores with Bibi Dong

Douluo: Return of the Killing Star, Starting with a Reckoning for Bibi Dong

Author: Tianqi Douluo

Synopsis:

In his childhood, Qian Xunji's younger brother, Qian Xun'an, accidentally stumbled into a strange dimension.

Qian Xun'an cultivated in that realm for countless years, eventually becoming a Limit Douluo, breaking through the plane, and returning to the Douluo Continent.

By now, the Douluo Continent had changed beyond recognition; his older brother, Qian Xunji, had been killed, his father had withdrawn from worldly affairs, and the Martial Soul Hall foundation that his family had built over thousands of years had fallen into the hands of an outsider.

After uncovering the truth, Qian Xun'an resolved to avenge his brother, kill Tang Hao, settle the score with Bibi Dong, reclaim the Martial Soul Hall, and unify the continent!

Qian Xun'an faced everyone with composure:

Father, justice and debt are not excuses for your cowardice!

Tang Hao, you killed my brother; today is the day you die!

Bibi Dong, my Martial Soul Hall gave you everything, and this is how you repay it? You ungrateful wolf, today I ask you to meet your end!

Many years later, Qian Xun'an sat upon the throne, facing the gods, and said with a smile:

I am invincible in the mortal world; if I do not fight the gods, who else is there to fight?

Martial Soul City.

A young man in black robes stood before the gates of Martial Soul City.

The man lifted his eyes slightly, gazing at the massive city gate before him.

"Martial Soul City!"

"Have I finally returned?"

The man was named Qian Xun'an, the youngest son of the Martial Soul Hall Great Elder Qian Daoliu, and the younger brother of Qian Xunji.

Qian Xun'an was once known as the greatest genius of the Martial Soul Hall.

However, when Qian Xun'an was ten years old, he had accompanied Qian Xunji to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, only to accidentally wander into the depths of the forest.

He had been missing ever since.

Upon learning of his brother's disappearance, Qian Xunji immediately led the elders of the Martial Soul Hall to search for him, but they could not find a trace of Qian Xun'an.

Later, Qian Xun'an's father, Qian Daoliu, also led people to the Star Dou Great Forest many times to search for him, but he never found him.

In the end, everyone believed he was dead.

Even Qian Daoliu had lost his final hope. Originally, he had intended for Qian Xun'an to inherit his position as Pope, but with his disappearance, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to let Qian Xunji inherit it instead.

Yet, who could have known that the young Qian Xun'an had not died back then.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Xun'an had stumbled into a strange dimension—a world of extreme terror, filled with piles of white bones and all manner of incomparably powerful soul beasts.

Not only that, but there were also countless legendary creatures—dragons!

Qian Xun'an survived by sheer luck, and in order to stay alive, he began to cultivate in that place.

Finally, heaven rewards the diligent; after an unknown number of years, Qian Xun'an broke through his limits and became a Limit Douluo.

He was finally able to walk out of that place.

Now that he had returned, he did not know how many years had passed.

"Truly, the seas have turned into mulberry fields, and things have changed; I wonder if Father and Brother are well!" Qian Xun'an sighed softly.

Immediately, he stepped forward.

The guards looked at the newcomer with curiosity.

Because he was wearing a black robe, complete with a hood and a bamboo hat, he did not look like an ordinary person.

At this moment, the guards immediately blocked the man and spoke up: "Who are you? This is Martial Soul City; you cannot just barge in!"

Qian Xun'an said calmly: "My name is Qian Xun'an, and I wish to see your Pope!"

"What did you say? Is the Pope someone you can see just because you want to? You say your surname is Qian? I've seen plenty of people like you; are you trying to impersonate the nobility of our Martial Soul Hall?"

The guard looked at Qian Xun'an and sneered.

Qian Xun'an frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "Since that is the case, please help me report it. Just say my name is Qian Xun'an, and someone will naturally come to receive me!"

Qian Xun'an looked at Martial Soul City; after all, this was his family's territory, and forcing his way in would not be appropriate.

Besides, since he had returned, he wanted to return in glory; sneaking in was not the way to do things.

However, the guard was unreasonable and pressed on: "Get lost, get lost... there are too many people like you trying to sneak into our Martial Soul City. This is Martial Soul City, not some place where any stray cat or dog can enter!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a trace of anger appeared on Qian Xun'an's face, and he asked: "What did you say?"

"Leave now, or we will force you out."

The guard immediately shouted.

"Wait a moment!"

Just then, a crisp voice rang out from the gate.

Qian Xun'an looked up to see a beautiful young woman standing at the city gate. She wore a suit of golden armor that accentuated her tall, graceful figure, and her stunning, peerless face was truly breathtaking.

Her short golden hair draped casually over her shoulders, revealing a perfect profile. A pair of golden pupils shimmered with a lively light, her nose was delicate and upturned, and her cherry-red lips were slightly pursed, giving her an air of heroic spirit.

Upon seeing the young woman, the soldiers immediately saluted, "Greetings, Holy Maiden!"

This Holy Maiden was none other than the disciple of the current Pope, the top talent of the younger generation in Martial Soul Hall, and a member of the current Golden Generation: Hu Liena.

Hu Liena nodded slightly, then looked toward the two squads of soldiers and asked, "What is going on here?"

A soldier immediately spoke up, "Your Highness, this brat is impersonating someone from the Qian family and trying to force his way into our Martial Soul City!"

At this moment, Hu Liena walked step by step toward Qian Xun'an. Qian Xun'an calmly sized up the Holy Maiden before him; this so-called Holy Maiden appeared to be merely a level 50 Soul King.

He couldn't help but shake his head. Why had the Holy Maiden of Martial Soul Hall become so weak?

Hu Liena scrutinized Qian Xun'an and spoke calmly, "You say you are from the Qian family?"

Qian Xun'an replied calmly, "That is correct. Please go and report to the Pope. Once you state my name, they will naturally know who I am."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Liena looked at Qian Xun'an coldly and said, "The Qian family are the nobility of Martial Soul Hall. How have I never seen you before? With the Soul Master Tournament approaching, I suspect you are just trying to sneak into our Martial Soul City!"

Hearing this, Qian Xun'an frowned.

His request was not excessive; was it really so difficult to have someone pass on a message for him?

Why was this Holy Maiden of Martial Soul Hall so unreasonable?

Qian Xun'an shook his head; it seemed he would have to force his way in after all.

At this moment, Hu Liena continued, "Get lost. This is not a place for you, and you especially shouldn't be impersonating someone from the Qian family!"

With these words, even Qian Xun'an's expression darkened. He looked at Hu Liena, let out a cold snort, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just have to go in myself!"

As the words fell, Qian Xun'an took a step forward.

BOOM!

Instantly, the entire ground began to tremble.

Qian Xun'an's aura erupted in an instant.

The next moment, a terrifying pressure enveloped the area, forcing the two squads of guards to their knees.

Even Hu Liena felt an incredibly heavy pressure—a weight like a massive mountain pressing down on her, making it impossible to breathe.

Hu Liena looked at Qian Xun'an in astonishment, her eyes filled with shock.

Although Hu Liena only possessed level 50 strength, her talent allowed her to handle the full-force attacks of peers at her own level, and even defeating those of a higher rank was not impossible.

However, Qian Xun'an's aura made her feel suffocated. She knew clearly that the person before her was far beyond her expectations; he was strong, incredibly strong!

Thump—

With a loud sound, Hu Liena collapsed to her knees right in front of Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an walked past Hu Liena lightly and remarked, "To think the Holy Maiden of Martial Soul Hall is this weak now. It seems my big brother's judgment isn't what it used to be!"

Hu Liena remained kneeling beside Qian Xun'an, her eyes filled with shock and utter disbelief.

After Qian Xun'an departed, the terrifying pressure finally dissipated.

At this moment, everyone present wore an expression of shock.

Hu Liena slowly stood up from the ground and immediately ordered, "Quickly report to the Pope! Tell her someone is forcing their way into Martial Soul City! And... tell her that person is extremely strong, likely a Title Douluo, and he may pose a threat to our Martial Soul City!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately left, rushing toward Martial Soul Hall.

Hu Liena watched Qian Xun'an's retreating back, though at this moment, she felt not a shred of fear.
