Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 893 Soul Hunting Operation
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He patted Ma Liang and Ma Wencai on the shoulders and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, both of you have made progress. In this soul hunting operation, we must cooperate well and strive to get the best soul ring."

Ma Liang and Ma Wencai both nodded, with happy looks on their faces.

Then, Chen Xiaojun chatted with Zhu Wuneng and Dugu Fu for a few more words, asking about their preparations.

After learning that everyone had been notified and prepared, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's take a break for the next two days." Chen Xiaojun said.

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet, with only the occasional sound of birds and wind.

Ma Wencai sat next to Ma Liang and talked in low voices.

He cherishes this opportunity to work together with Chen Xiaojun. It is not only a test of his own strength, but also an exercise of his tacit understanding and collaboration ability with Chen Xiaojun's team.

Chen Xiaojun stood aside, watching him silently.

………………

A few days later, two hundred miles deep in the Xieluo Mountains, there was a dormant volcano that had not been disturbed by the mortal world. It was called Yunyin Mountain, where lived the legendary Fiery Winged Spirit Luan, a ninth-grade soul beast.

They are descendants of the phoenix, and like their ancestor the phoenix, they live in pairs and are loyal throughout their lives.

In the vast mountains, Yanyu and Yanyi are the undisputed overlords.

Generally, male phoenixes are called Yanyu, with scarlet feathers, while female phoenixes are called Yanyi, with bluish-red feathers. They are the most dazzling creatures in this mountain range and the perfect fusion of the spirit of nature and the power of fire.

They feed on flame grass unique to volcanoes and other plants containing fire elements. These foods not only provide them with sufficient energy, but also make their flame power purer and more powerful.

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on Yunyin Mountain, a pair of Flame Feathers and Flame Wings slowly rose from the crater where they lived, and soared into the morning glow.

In the air, they fly intertwinedly with graceful postures, sometimes tumbling, sometimes circling, performing a morning dance that belongs only to them, celebrating the arrival of a new day.

This is their daily dance in the morning light.

Otherwise, how would it be discovered and Chen Xiaojun and others would come to find us?

Just as the two Fiery-Winged Phoenixes flapped their wings and were about to fly through the deep and mysterious entrance of the huge cave, an unprecedented atmosphere of tension suddenly gathered in the air.

At this critical moment, Chen Shurui and Chen Bin rushed out and activated their second soul skills almost at the same time.

"Second soul skill - the dawn!"

Chen Shurui, who was lurking on the side, had the Seven Killing Sword in his hand instantly enveloped by the soft and warm morning light. The light was like the rising sun, gentle and full of vitality.

The tip of the sword was lightly raised, and a brilliant beam of light cut through the sky and pointed directly at Yanyu Xiongluan. The light seemed to contain the power to awaken all things, bathing everything around in the glow of hope.

At the same time, Chen Bin beside him shouted in a low voice: "Second soul skill - Darkness is coming!"

The Seven Killing Sword in his hand turned into the messenger of night. The sword was wrapped in deep and mysterious dark energy, as if it could devour all the light around it.

As agility attack spirit masters, they were quick and accurate in their attacks, and displayed years of tacit understanding.

A shocking pair of swords of light and darkness, with irresistible power, slashed towards Yan Yu Xiong Luan.

On the other side, Zhu Wuneng was not to be outdone. He shouted loudly: "Third soul skill - Tianpeng battle armor!"

Before he finished speaking, his body skin began to emit layers of golden light, which quickly condensed into a set of gorgeous and extraordinary armor, with each piece of armor shining with dazzling brilliance.

The effect of the armor surged in his body, and Zhu Wuneng's momentum instantly climbed to the peak, with his strength, defense and endurance each increasing by 100%.

As the third soul skill, it can increase three dimensions by 100% each, which is already top-notch enough.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Wuneng leaped up.

"Water Type IV - Strike Wave!"

As he moved, the surrounding water elements responded to his call and gathered into a surging wave. This power condensed into countless sharp water arrows in his palm, pouring towards the Yanyi female Luan like a tsunami.

Each water arrow contains powerful force. They interweave into an impenetrable water network in the air, with a roaring sound, presenting a double feast of vision and power.

In this spectacular scene of light and darkness interweaving and water and gold colliding, the male Flame-Winged Luan and the female Flame-Winged Luan also reacted quickly. They spread their wings and cried loudly, releasing their own innate skills to deal with this sudden attack.

The Flame-Winged Luan flapped its wings, and flames suddenly rose up like a tornado. That was its "Flame Phoenix Burning the Sky" skill.

The flames carried a scorching heat, as if they were going to burn everything around them.

When it met the light and dark swords of Chen Shurui and Chen Bin, it suddenly burst into dazzling light and deafening roar, and the surrounding battlefield trembled under the impact of this force.

The female Flame-Winged Luan spread its gorgeous scarlet wings, and every feather contained extremely high heat.

It cried loudly and activated its innate skill "Phoenix Dancing in the Nine Heavens". Blue and red flaming phoenixes flew out from its wings and collided with Zhu Wuneng's Water Form - the Wave of Strike.

The flames and water flow intertwined and collided in the air, generating a large amount of steam and heat, filling the entire cave entrance with hazy mist.

In this fierce battle, the three soul masters and two spirit phoenixes all demonstrated their respective strengths and skills.

Light and darkness, fire and water, gold and feathers, various elements interweave and collide here, forming a colorful picture.

In this battle of turbulent elements and brilliant skills, Gao Cuilan, Su Ningxia and Ma Liang also joined the battle, and their participation made the battle even more thrilling.

Gao Cuilan raised her hand elegantly and whispered, "Second soul skill - Gold and Silver Binding."

As she spoke, two energy rings shining with gold and silver light flew out from her hands and accurately wrapped around the two Fiery-Winged Phoenixes.

These two energy rings have endless gravitational force, which solidifies the air around Lingluan, making their movements slow and tightly bound by invisible chains.

As the Jinyinhuan Gao family is famous for its control, compared with the Ji family and the Liu family, the Gao family is the most orthodox control family.

Therefore, although it is the second soul ring, its effect is not weak.

At the same time, Su Ningxia's clear voice rang out on the battlefield. She shouted, "First Soul Skill - Red Mist Blazing Flame! Second Soul Skill - Orange Mist Storm Whirl! Transformed Phoenix Wings Soaring into the Sky!"

As she shouted, the flames and storms in her palms began to intertwine and rotate, forming a unique energy storm.

The flames burned fiercely, burning and distorting the surrounding air, while the storm spun wildly, drawing the flames into it, forming a thrilling force.

This energy storm continued to expand and eventually turned into a huge fire phoenix. Its feathers were made of flames, and its eyes were the center of the storm, flashing dangerous light.

The Fire Phoenix circled in the air, making crackling sounds, and then suddenly rushed towards Yanyu Xiongluan, leaving a sea of ​​fire and raging storm wherever it passed.

On the other side, Ma Liang flew out quickly, with bursting flames burning in his hands: "Third soul skill - Phoenix shock wave!"

As he threw a punch, his soul power condensed into a powerful fire shock wave. This force, with an explosive aura, blasted towards the Yanyi female Luan.

The flame shock wave drew a gorgeous arc in the air, and then slammed into the body of the Yanyi female Luan, bursting out with dazzling light and deafening roar.

………………

While the battle outside was in full swing, there was movement coming from deep in the cave.

Two smaller Fiery-Winged Phoenixes seemed to be shocked by the noise outside and wanted to fly high. They rushed out of the cave and joined the chaotic battle.

Chen Mu was quick-witted and activated his third soul skill immediately: "Nine Blossoms!"

Ninety-nine and eighty-one sword energies blossomed like plum blossoms. They drew graceful arcs in the air, falling elegantly and quickly, accurately tracking the trajectory of the two Fiery-Winged Spirit Phoenixes.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, leaving long and thin cracks, demonstrating the sharpness and domineering nature of Chen Mu's soul skills.

"Third soul skill - Golden Centipede Thousand Splitting Thorns!"

Dugu Fu's whole body began to release countless sharp golden centipede thorns. Those golden centipede thorns flew in the air. These thorns intertwined in the air to form a dense attack net, covering the two Fiery-Winged Spirit Phoenixes.

Like a golden storm, enveloping everything around it.

They were extremely sharp and easily penetrated the feathers of the Fiery-Winged Luan, even leaving deep scars in some places.

The bodies of those Fiery-Winged Phoenixes that were stabbed stiffened instantly, with traces of fear and despair flashing in their eyes, obviously affected by the strong neurotoxin.

"First soul skill - Splendid Feather!"

Ma Liangcai flashed to the side, and his martial spirit appeared, transforming into a sun-glowing pheasant covered with gorgeous feathers, with its wings spread, emitting colorful light.

This golden pheasant danced in the air, releasing pieces of brilliant feathers. These feathers were spinning and flying in the air, and each piece emitted a dazzling light, as if they were the brightest stars in the sky.

They floated lightly onto the body of the Fiery-Winged Luan, but brought considerable impact.

The power of light surged in the feathers, causing the body of the Fiery-Winged Spirit Luan to tremble slightly.

The two Fiery-Winged Phoenixes that were hit by the feathers had a trace of confusion and dizziness in their eyes, obviously dazzled by the bright light.

After all, these two have only been cultivating for about 1500 years. Although they are ninth-grade soul beasts, they are not as good as geniuses like Chen Mu and Dugu Fu.

Chen Mu's attack, Dugu Fu's control and Ma Wencai's assistance were enough to control them.

………………

The battle outside the cave entered a white-hot stage, and the confrontation between the six soul masters and the two blazing-winged phoenixes became more and more intense. Gao Cuilan maintained the gold and silver rings, tightly binding the two phoenixes, preventing them from flying quickly, but the two phoenixes were not ordinary people, they began to struggle, trying to break free from the invisible shackles.

At the same time, they also activated their own skills. Flames and storms raged around them, colliding with the attacks of the soul masters, producing more brilliant light and shocking sounds.

Su Ningxia's fire phoenix circled in the air, and every flap of its wings brought a blazing fire storm, burning the surrounding space red.

Her eyes were determined as she stared at the Flame-Winged Luan, ready to give it a fatal blow.

The Flame-Winged Male Luan was also extremely ferocious. It spread its wings and flames surged out like a tide, engaging in a fierce confrontation with Su Ningxia's Fire Phoenix.

After hitting the Yanyi female Luan, Ma Liang's Phoenix shock wave did not dissipate immediately, but turned into pieces of burning flames and continued to attack the Yanyi female Luan.

The female Flame-Winged Luan struggled in the flame explosion, but its resistance to fire was extremely high. There was an unyielding light in its eyes. It flapped its wings and flew high, trying to escape from the encirclement of the flames.

The light and dark swords of Chen Shurui and Chen Bin played a huge role in the battle. Their sword light cut through the sky like lightning, interweaving with the skills of the two spirit phoenixes to produce brilliant light and shadows.

They cooperated well with each other and each attack was just right, making it difficult for the two phoenixes to resist.

Zhu Wuneng's Tianpeng armor shone with golden light during the battle, and his Six Wheels of the Eighteen Styles of Wheel of Heaven and Water Breathing forced the two phoenixes to be distracted to deal with them.

The two Fiery-Winged Luan were under the tacit siege of six soul masters. Although they displayed amazing resilience and powerful innate skills, they were ultimately unable to withstand the continuous attacks.

Under the heavy siege of Chen Shurui and Chen Bin's light and dark swords, Su Ningxia's fire phoenix and Zhu Wuneng's nine-toothed rake, the flame of Yanyu Xiongluan gradually dimmed and the flapping of its wings became weaker and weaker.

Finally, after a fierce collision with the Ninth-Rank Rake, it let out a shrill whine, and its body fell powerlessly, being completely defeated.

The death of the male Yanyu Luan made the female Yanyi Luan's eyes instantly red. The Chiyi Luan had always been together in life and death. She let out a mournful cry and launched a suicidal attack, with flames surging from her body.

But with the tacit cooperation of the six soul masters, its efforts seemed in vain.

Gao Cuilan's gold and silver rings made its movements slower and slower, while Su Ningxia's Fire Phoenix kept pulling it back.

Although it wanted to drag Zhu Wuneng, who killed its spouse, to die together with it, it was never able to do so.

Finally, after a fierce fire attack from Ma Liang, it let out a final wail, and fell powerlessly, ending the battle.

………………

The smoke gradually dissipated, and the several-meter-long bodies of two Fiery-Winged Spirit Phoenixes lay quietly on the ground. Their wings no longer flapped, and the light that once shone had dimmed.

Chen Xiaojun and Zhang Ci walked over slowly. They had been keeping watch before, and to be honest, there was no need for them to take action in this situation.

They were allowed to formulate their own tactics. The academy required that unless necessary, the instructors would not intervene and could only provide theoretical guidance at most.

However, they are all experienced people, and they have no pressure at all to deal with several thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Zhang Ci's gaze lingered on the two Blazing Winged Spiritual Luans for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "These two Blazing Winged Spiritual Luans are about seven thousand years old. Let me ask you again, are you sure you want to absorb their spirit rings?"

Zhu Wuneng responded with a grin, "Teacher Zhang, I've always dreamed that my fourth soul ring could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul skill, but unfortunately my strength doesn't allow it."

The corner of Zhang Ci's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt an urge to teach this clown a lesson.

Ma Liang smiled gently and said, "Teacher, Wu Neng and I are fine."

"Our physical fitness has always been good, and our third spirit rings are all over two thousand years old."

"According to the calculation that the fourth spirit ring is usually three times the age of the third spirit ring, although it may be a little thrilling, it should still be manageable."

Zhu Wuneng continued in a rude tone, "Teacher, don't worry."

"As the head teacher of our key class, there is really no need to make a fuss about absorbing a spirit ring that is only 7,000 years old for a group of geniuses like us who are beyond common sense."

Zhang Ci pulled the corner of his mouth and suppressed his emotions. It was really difficult to talk to Wuneng.

He smiled helplessly, nodded and said: "Okay, since you are sure, then let's do it."

Afterwards, Zhu Wuneng and Ma Liang sat cross-legged and began to pull the two deep purple soul rings, devoting themselves to absorbing the soul rings.

At the same time, on the other side of the cave, Chen Xiaojun walked up to Ma Wencai and said softly, "Wencai, your performance just now was good and you didn't show any stage fright. You deserve recognition."

Ma Wencai scratched his head shyly and said, "Xiaojun, I was actually just behind Brother Mu and Afu, helping them."

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly and said, "You are also planning to absorb the spirit ring of this Blazing Winged Spiritual Luan, right? This spirit ring is 1,500 years old."

Ma Wencai nodded firmly and said, "Yes, this Blazing Winged Luan's spirit ring is also very suitable for my martial soul. After all, I also have an avian martial soul."

Chen Xiaojun said solemnly: "This Fiery Winged Spiritual Luan is the king of birds, and its quality is extremely high. When you absorb it, you must be careful."

Ma Wencai nodded seriously and said, "Well, don't worry. I'm ready, and I believe I can hold on."

Although Ma Wencai is only an average person now, he possesses a fifth-grade high-level martial soul that is close to the sixth grade. He has barely acquired the ability to withstand the spirit ring of a 1,500-year-old ninth-grade soul beast.

Of course, Ma Wencai is far inferior to his cousin Ma Liang.

Ma Liang is the recognized genius and rising star of the Ma family.

Ma Liang's innate soul power is as high as level 9.4. Such talent is enough to be compared with the light and dark swords of the Chen family. The third soul ring is also more than 2000 years beyond the norm.

As for Chen Xiaojun, he once joked three years ago that Ma Liang was his younger brother, but this was not a casual remark.

Because Chen Xiaojun discovered that all the "celebrities" he met had good luck, qualifications and backgrounds.

For example, the seven emperors in the academy, Zhu Wuneng, Gao Cuilan, Ma Liang, and his cousin Ximen Chuxue, who ranks 22nd on the list of geniuses, and even Zhong Yao and Zhong Kui, father and son of the Zhong family, are all extraordinary figures.

None of these people's innate soul power is lower than level eight, which is the standard of genius.

Even Ma Wencai, the guy of the same name who was just a love-struck background figure in the Liang Zhu story, has his luck turned around.

Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but wonder whether these "celebrities" all carried the luck of Blue Star. Although this feeling was mysterious, he just had this intuition.

………………

Zhang Ci said softly, "The three of them have successfully obtained spirit rings. As long as we get Xiaobin and Shurui's, we can go back."

He was under a lot of pressure taking care of these precious teenagers.

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."

A few days ago, a group of people followed the mighty army of more than a hundred people and went seventy or eighty miles deep into the Xieluo Mountains. Then they went their separate ways according to the different soul beasts they needed to hunt.

Afterwards, they headed straight towards the soul beast habitat that Chen Bin and Chen Shurui had already targeted. When they saw the Fiery Winged Luan on the way, they wanted to capture it immediately.

Zhu Wuneng's fourth soul ring requires fire attribute, not to mention Ma Liang and Ma Liangcai, what could be better than the Fiery Winged Spirit Luan, a ninth-grade soul beast that is a descendant of the phoenix.

The main thing is that the year is right, so it can be said that God has blessed it.

Chen Xiaojun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was his first time out alone, so there shouldn't be any setbacks.

He actually had some trauma about his luck. Whenever he went out, he always ran into trouble.

It doesn't matter to him, because there are so many people around.

We are all brothers and friends, it would be bad to hurt any of them.

He himself was not unaware of the risks involved and had been suppressing himself for more than three years, but he could not help himself and gave in to his youthful spirit.

Besides, the young eagle will eventually spread its wings and fly alone. He doesn't want to always be under the protection of his family. He is already a Soul King.

…………

Two hours passed quietly, and Zhu Wuneng and Ma Liang were still immersed in the mysterious process of absorbing the soul ring. Their bodies were wrapped in a faint light and merged with the soul ring.

Beside the cave entrance, a group of people were leaning against the cold stone wall, some sitting or standing, with a tired look on their faces yet still alert.

At this moment, a clear and long cry suddenly came from the sky, the sound penetrated the clouds and struck people's hearts.

Everyone looked up and saw two small dots flashing with golden light approaching at an alarming speed in the distant sky, like two meteors streaking across the sky.

Chen Xiaojun's eyes changed at this moment, and colorful light flowed in his pupils.

He muttered to himself, "Hey, this aura... is actually also from the Blazing Winged Spiritual Luan, and judging from its pressure, it must have been cultivated for 20,000 to 30,000 years."

Zhang Ci heard this and said to everyone with a serious expression: "Yes, these should be the parents of the two Blazing Winged Luan. Wu Neng and Ma Liang are at a critical moment and cannot move at all."

"With my current strength, I can barely contain one of them, but for the other one... I'm afraid I'll have to rely on your strength."

After saying that, the wings behind Zhang Ci suddenly spread out, a faint light flowed on the wings. He stretched out his body and rushed towards the two blazing-winged phoenixes that were approaching quickly like an arrow.

Just as Zhang Ci expected, the Flame-Winged Male Luan, whose cultivation had been over 30,000 years, rushed forward with eyes wide open and rage, and its speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

Feeling this powerful pressure, the people at the cave entrance suddenly became nervous and the atmosphere froze in an instant.

At this critical moment, Chen Shurui and Chen Bin attacked almost at the same time, chanting: "The bright moon shines in the sky, the stars adorn the sky, and the sword energy shines forever!"

As the voice fell, two sword wheels rose up, and countless fine and sharp sword qi were seen, like a dense and impenetrable sword net, flying towards the Flame-Winged Luan. The flashing sword light reflected the resolute and unyielding faces of everyone.
