Star Luo Prince

A few others were with him: a woman in her forties, surrounded by six Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black.

There were also two young people, a man and a woman. The man looked about eighteen or nineteen, with blond hair and purple eyes. His expression was proud, his hands clasped behind his back, his whole bearing lazy and casual.

The woman was a little younger, around fifteen or sixteen. Her black hair spilled loose over her shoulders, her features were exquisite, and her bright eyes moved with charm. A smile lingered at the corner of her mouth, carrying a faint trace of seduction.

Of course, what drew the eye even more was her figure—far too voluptuous for her young age. Full in front and rounded behind, with lush curves, a slim waist, long legs, and plump hips, her entire person radiated a dangerously alluring charm.

The girl looked a little tense as she gazed at the old man, her voice soft, melodious, and bewitching. "Elder Dai, are you saying that black shadow that just flew across the sky was a Title Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar?"

Elder Dai nodded and said gravely, "That's right. It was an enormous Purple Lightning Roc, but there wasn't the slightest aura of a soul beast on it. Instead, nine Soul Rings were flashing around it. It had to be some Excellency using Martial Soul Avatar."

The girl said in shock, "How could there be such a huge Martial Soul Avatar? It must have been over a thousand meters long."

Elder Dai said, "There's something you don't know. Among all avian soul beasts, roc-type soul beasts are the largest. 'They bear the blue sky and sever the clouds; their wings are like clouds hanging from the heavens'—that speaks of the great roc. Roc-type martial souls naturally possess the same trait. What's more, that was no ordinary roc martial soul, but the legendary top-tier martial soul, Purple Lightning Roc."

The young man cut in, "Then, great-uncle, do you know which Excellency it was? Is there any Excellency on Douluo Continent whose martial soul is the Purple Lightning Roc?"

Elder Dai shook his head. "Among the Title Douluo and even Soul Douluo known openly, no one has the Purple Lightning Roc as their martial soul. This kind of top-tier martial soul is extremely rare and no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. But Douluo Continent is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No one knows how many experts are concealed in the dark. This person should be some unknown Excellency."

"A Title Douluo...!"

The young man looked up at the blue sky, longing appearing on his face, and said calmly, "I will definitely become such a powerhouse too. Who else but me could become the Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Douluo?"

The girl curled her lip, clearly unimpressed.

Elder Dai, however, was very pleased. He laughed and said, "Good, good, good. Young people should have exactly this kind of vigor and ambition. Weisi, you are the empire's eldest prince. Though you do not bear the title of crown prince, you hold the reality of one, and in the future you will also become the emperor of the empire. If you can become a Title Douluo, our Star Luo Empire will have the strength to challenge Spirit Hall. Perhaps we can move aside this great mountain blocking us from annexing the Heaven Dou Empire and truly unify the continent, leaving Star Luo supreme for all ages."

Dai Weisi said proudly, "Great-uncle, just wait and see. Weisi will not disappoint everyone."

Elder Dai smiled in satisfaction and said, "For now, let us first help you obtain your fourth Soul Ring. Since you have such ambition, that Soul Ring must be refined to perfection as well. There can be no compromise whatsoever; you must absorb the best. Five years from now will be the next soul master tournament. When the time comes, that will be when you shine brilliantly and make your name known throughout the world."

As they spoke, the group headed deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest. Elder Dai also possessed his martial soul. His stooped body instantly became tall, burly, and powerful. White fur grew from his arms, and cold, gleaming blades over a meter long sprang from his ten fingers. Many black stripes appeared across his body, and the character for "king" even emerged on his forehead.

What was even more terrifying was that eight full Soul Rings circled him—two yellow, two purple, and four black.

He was, astonishingly, a powerful Soul Douluo, and his martial soul was the top-tier White Tiger martial soul.

The young man and the girl also entered Martial Soul Possession. Dai Weisi was practically a smaller version of Elder Dai, with three Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple—circling him.

As for the girl, two adorable cat ears grew from her head, and a black cat tail extended from her hips. Black fur grew over her hands, sharp blades sprang from her ten fingers, and her black eyes faintly glowed green, like emeralds in the night.

The girl likewise had three Soul Rings circling her—two yellow and one purple.

The old man walked in front, the young man and girl in the middle, and the female Soul Elder in her forties brought up the rear. The four of them continued deeper into the forest and slowly vanished from sight.

"Those four just now—were they from the Star Luo imperial family and the Zhu clan?"

How sharp was Zhu Huang's eyesight? With just one sweep, he had seen through those four people's backgrounds. Even their exact Soul Power Levels could not escape his eyes.

"About seventeen or eighteen and already about to break through to Soul Ancestor. And that fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl also had rank thirty-six soul power."

"For the Dai family and Zhu family to have such talent and strength at that age, with a Soul Douluo personally accompanying them to obtain a Soul Ring, they should be Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun."

At this time, Zhu Zhuqing was not yet nine, and Dai Mubai was only twelve. Clearly, it could not possibly be them.

"But judging by the timing, Dai Mubai fled to Shrek Academy this very year. Could it be that Dai Weisi broke through to Soul Ancestor, causing him to lose all hope, unable to bear the pressure, so he fled to an enemy nation to drown himself in pleasure?"

Zhu Huang shook his head. Whether Dai Weisi or Dai Mubai, they were only minor figures. On the other hand, the pair of sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were quite good. It was rather a pity to let the Dai brothers have them so cheaply.

As his thoughts turned, Peng King had already flown over a thousand li and descended near Nuoding City.

As if sensing the auras of Peng King and Zhu Huang, before Zhu Huang could even enter the city, Xiao Wu—already transformed back into her adult appearance and wearing a pink rabbit mask—came rushing over and threw herself into Zhu Huang's arms.

"Master, you finally came to see me again. Xiao Wu missed you so much!"

"I missed my little rabbit too. See? That's why I came."

Zhu Huang patted Xiao Wu's beautiful back. In truth, the two of them had only parted two months ago, but to Xiao Wu, a single day apart felt like three autumns. Two months was terribly long.

After hugging for a while, Xiao Wu took Zhu Huang's hand and walked toward Nuoding City. Peng King followed respectfully from a dozen meters away, not daring in the slightest to disturb his lord and lady.

They found a hotel and settled in. Reunited after parting, they naturally had to explore the changes in each other's bodies. After a round of deep exchange, the two finally ordered a lavish dinner and began eating.

After dinner, they strolled around for a while, then returned to the hotel for another bout of wild indulgence. After that, Zhu Huang took Peng King and Xiao Wu and set out overnight for Soul Hunting Forest.

With Peng King's speed fully unleashed, they reached Soul Hunting Forest, four hundred li away, in less than ten minutes.

From far off, Zhu Huang once again sensed Tang Hao's aura. Three years had passed. The injuries Ice Empress had inflicted on him had already healed, and Tang Hao's soul power had also broken through to rank ninety-three.

It had to be said, Tang Hao's talent was indeed top-tier. Without cheating, Tang San might not necessarily have surpassed him.

Only an extremely small number of people, such as Tang Chen, Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu, had stronger talent than Tang Hao.

Unfortunately, the one Tang Hao now faced was Zhu Huang, who had also cheated. He had already lost at the starting line, and afterward there was even less comparison. They were completely on different dimensions.

"Peng King, disguise yourself as an Evil Soul Master and lure Tang Hao to a deserted place, then beat him up. As long as you don't kill him, that's fine."

"As you command!"

Peng King grinned savagely, turned into a bolt of lightning, and disappeared into the distance.
