Holy Light's Blessing

In the lush Starlight Forest Grounds, dozens of Starlight Deer roamed.

The Starlight Deer had slender, graceful bodies and translucent silver-gray coats. Their fine, soft fur looked woven from crushed fragments of night.

Countless tiny stars dotted their coats. At rest, their glow was faint, but whenever the deer moved or channeled Soul Power, those points of light flowed across them, as though the stars of the heavens had gathered on their bodies.

The herd of Starlight Deer frolicked through the Starlight Forest Grounds, carefree as could be.

A Starlight Deer's age was judged chiefly by its antlers.

One white star marking on its antlers meant a hundred years, with another appearing for every additional century. At a thousand years, the white markings turned silver. At ten thousand, the silver markings turned gold.

After a hundred thousand years, all the golden markings joined into a Zhou Tian Star Chart. It was a sight of breathtaking beauty.

Tang Chen studied the dozens of Starlight Deer, picking through them again and again. He found only one that was barely suitable for Qian Daoliu.

The silver star markings on that deer's antlers numbered six, putting it at six thousand years old. Qian Daoliu could most likely absorb its Soul Ring.

Tang Chen unleashed the pressure of his Soul Power straight at the six-thousand-year-old Starlight Deer.

At the sight of such a powerful Soul Master, the other Starlight Deer scattered in a panic.

The deer pinned by Tang Chen's Soul Power pressure struggled on the spot, unable to move.

"Qian Daoliu, come over and put it out of its misery."

Tang Chen called Qian Daoliu forward to finish off the six-thousand-year-old Starlight Deer.

Qian Daoliu nodded, stepped forward, and drew his sword.

With one stroke, he finished off the deer.

The Starlight Deer died
