Robbing Xiaogang, Sun and Moon Illuminated by Treasured Light

"Spare my life, please show mercy! I'll pay, I'll pay!"

Yu Xiaogang looked on the verge of tears as he hurriedly raised his hands in surrender.

He had already lost enough face today, so he could only choose to pay to avert disaster.

As long as the green hills remained, there would be no shortage of firewood.

With a Titled Douluo backing the other side, Yu Xiaogang could only swallow his broken teeth and endure.

He had no face to return to Spirit Hall, did not dare go back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Golden Iron Triangle was no match for them either.

Then, wearing an aggrieved expression, Yu Xiaogang took out all his possessions.

Calling them possessions was generous; there were only a pitiful few things.

A token, a black belt embedded with twenty-four milky-white jade stones, and a small amount of Gold Soul Coins.

Xu Yuan was not polite. Apart from the pitch-black token, he thoroughly looted everything else.

The Soul Hunting Token concerned Tang San's first Soul Ring. This was also a side quest, so there was no reason to let it slip away.

A Hundred Year Soul Ring was a precious soul beast resource.

Pathetic Wretch, did you deserve to absorb one? A ten-year one was enough for you.

Xu Yuan constantly reminded himself that he needed to ruin the plot of Douluo Continent and muddy the waters.

With Jingliu backing him, he could do whatever he wanted!

Living off that white-haired, red-eyed ice-element Sword Champion big sister was fucking amazing.

After finishing all this, Xu Yuan delivered a heavy whip kick straight into Yu Xiaogang's back.

Powerful and forceful—woohoo!

Yu Xiaogang flew several meters away, crashing into a nearby corner in a face-down sprawl.

By sheer coincidence, Xiaogang's face landed in a pile of black lumps.

Wow, Black Shark Oligey!

Xu Yuan's kick had knocked the wind out of Yu Xiaogang. He opened his mouth to greedily suck in air, but then...

"Ptooey, ugh~"

He choked on shit on the spot. The stray dogs immediately burst into tears at the sight.

"People don't steal dog food. Is this man insane?"

"Indeed. Over fifty years old, yet still only a Soul Grandmaster."

"Everyone, disperse. Don't let him ruin your appetite."

"..."

The bystanders watching the spectacle wore disgusted expressions. They even felt Yu Xiaogang ought to pay every viewer a Silver Soul Coin.

Listening to the crowd's chatter, Yu Xiaogang's cheeks turned crimson with rage as he hurriedly fled in a miserable state.

After teaching Yu Xiaogang a lesson and robbing him, Xu Yuan put away the spoils, feeling extremely pleased.

Because the panel before Xu Yuan had changed.

[Main Quest Honkai Progress Bar: 1%. Reward: Blessing of Abundance "Sun and Moon Illuminated by Treasured Light"]

[Sun and Moon Illuminated by Treasured Light: Can soothe the emotions of up to two targets simultaneously, causing them to enter a calm state.]

[During this period, targets are immune to negative effects, and all damage they receive is reduced by half. Duration: three minutes. CD: 12 hours.]

The next second, a dense force of vitality flooded Xu Yuan's body, taking the form of a full-moon-shaped Blessing of Abundance.

A flash of delight crossed Xu Yuan's face.

Holy shit, this was good stuff.

This ability was incredibly useful. Although it could not directly improve combat power, it leaned more toward support and battlefield control.

But it seemed capable of soothing Jingliu's mara-struck state...

The fate of Long-Life Species had said it before—those who fell to mara had their six senses inverted and all human bonds scattered.

It was just a pity that the cooldown was too long, so it could not be used casually.

Still, he had gained quite a bit this time. A small profit.

The spoils consisted of a Storage Soul Tool belt with a capacity of twenty-four cubic meters and two hundred Gold Soul Coins.

This Storage Soul Tool belt had a total capacity of twenty-four cubic meters, but each compartment was independently calculated as one cubic meter. That was a little hard to accept.

Forget it. He would see whether he could enhance it later.

Xu Yuan happily inspected the spoils. Then, under the reverent gazes of the surrounding pedestrians—

He leaped high into the air and arrived beside Jingliu.

"Little brother, has this finally put your mind at ease?"

Jingliu did not ask Xu Yuan why he had let Yu Xiaogang go. She had roughly guessed his intentions.

A whetstone!

For enemies, either kill them or torture them.

"Thank you for backing me up, big sister. I vented my anger just now, so my mind is at ease."

Xu Yuan smiled faintly, in an excellent mood.

"Very good. Then... it is time to set out and hunt soul beasts."

Jingliu covered her eyes with black silk and spoke softly.

She nodded slightly, then placed one slender hand on Xu Yuan's shoulder again and carried him away through the air.

Only after watching that mysterious Titled Douluo fly away with someone did the people of Notting City finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But immediately afterward, secret letters were hastily written and sent flying out of Notting City by carrier pigeons.

Their destinations were the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall!

Several hours later.

Heaven Dou City, the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, northeast district.

The imperial palace, the Crown Prince's residence.

"Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, an urgent dispatch from eight hundred li away!"

A soldier knelt on one knee and respectfully held up an envelope sealed with wax in both hands.

"Speak."

The young man wore a clean white robe that gave him a fresh and tidy air, his long black hair neatly hanging behind his back.

He was none other than His Highness Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

More accurately, the identity of Xue Qinghe was merely a disguise. Her true identity was—

Qian Renxue.

"...A mysterious female Titled Douluo has appeared in the direction of Notting City, possessing nine red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings."

"This venerable one was accompanied by a youth. According to intelligence, their final destination was the Great Star Dou Forest..."

The soldier read the contents of the letter in full.

"Understood. Go collect your reward."

She waved her hand, and the soldier respectfully turned and departed.

After a long silence, Qian Renxue spoke.

"Troubled times indeed. Uncle She... what do you think?"

Before Qian Renxue's words had faded, an elderly man emerged from behind the screen. His thin, tall frame stood as straight and sharp as a spear.

This man was an elder of Spirit Hall—Snake Lance Douluo.

"Your Highness, Spirit Hall has confirmed that the intelligence is true. We should make every effort to recruit her. With her assistance, the two great empires would be nothing to fear."

"This person is very likely a Peerless Douluo!!"

"You make sense. Someone, relay my order."

Qian Renxue nodded. That was what she thought as well.

Soon afterward, Qian Renxue swiftly issued a Recruitment Edict, extending goodwill to that Titled Douluo throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.

According to the intelligence, that female Titled Douluo appeared to be only in her early twenties. How terrifying was that?

Among Titled Douluo, youth was capital. It often signified even greater potential.

Furthermore, the continent was divided among countless powers and plunged into chaos.

Spirit Hall had always intended to unify the continent, and achieving that goal would require the support of powerful experts.

Unfortunately, Qian Renxue did not yet know that the plan to unify the continent... was merely Bibi Dong's scheme to bury the Qian family.

All one could say was...

Love-brained fools were fucking terrifying!

Jingliu's appearance gave Qian Renxue hope.

Whether it was to strengthen her own faction or bolster Spirit Hall's foundation.

If Jingliu had not left Notting City immediately, Qian Renxue would have wanted to personally visit with lavish gifts and recruit her.

The Heaven Dou Empire was not the only place where such scenes played out. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were doing the same.

Even the Star Luo Empire on the other side of the continent did likewise. Though they knew the chances were slim, what if?

They all wished to recruit this expert and strengthen their foundations.

The sheer significance of nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings was shocking beyond belief, along with more than ten powerful soul skills.

It was enough to overturn the balance between empires and sects!

For a time, undercurrents surged throughout the entire continent.

Large numbers of elite soul masters were dispatched, moving like a tide through the empires and around the Great Star Dou Forest.

And all of it was for the sake of recruiting a powerful expert.
