"Ahhhh, is this really a test that a soul master can complete?"
Xu Mingxi fell to the ground, his sweat soaking the ground. Seeing the Yangyan Bird and Hanyue Bird flying in the sky, the sorrow in his heart was like a flood bursting its dam, unable to stop flowing.
Half a year had passed since the great priest had brought her to this arena-like valley. Although his skills and use of the three lights of the sun, moon, and stars had improved greatly, he was no match for this two hundred thousand year old soul beast.
Thinking of what the great priest said, that this was only the first round of the second test, Xu Mingxi wanted to cry. What would the next two rounds be like?
The sun and moon were always stationary in the Valley of the Sun and Moon, there was no change between day and night. Xu Mingxi took a short break, strategized, and began today's review.
Yangyanwu and Hanyue Bird have both mastered their resizing skills, and can resize their bodies to the size of a parrot in the smallest size, and at an unbelievably fast speed.
Among the three lights Xu Mingxi controlled, starlight was the fastest, moonlight was the most flexible, and sunlight had the strongest attack power. Only starlight was able to catch up with the speed of the two soul beasts, but it could be easily broken by them, and the other two couldn't even touch them.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and pondered for quite a while. He could become more proficient in using the Three Lights, but it was impossible to increase their intensity and speed in a short period of time.
The only solution Xu Mingxi could think of now was perhaps he could try combining starlight and moonlight. Was it possible to obtain a new type of light that could chase after the two soul beasts without allowing them to escape easily?
Seeing that Xu Mingxi was no longer attacking, the two soul beasts flew back to their nests and continued to love each other, leaving Xu Mingxi alone outside to continue trying.
Starlight appeared in one hand and moonlight appeared in the other. He wanted to combine the two. However, as the two approached, they repelled each other. Xu Mingxi forcefully controlled the two to merge, but directly caused an explosion. The power wasn't great, but it was able to scare Xu Mingxi away.
This kind of explosion was too weak and consumed too much mental energy, so it couldn't be used as an ordinary attack tool. Instead, it created a huge obstacle for Xu Mingxi to fuse starlight and moonlight.
Xu Mingxi learned from his mistake. He no longer placed the two points of light in front of him to fuse. Instead, he spent more of his mind making them converge in the distance. The sound of explosions continued to be heard in the valley.
The Yangyanwu couple were very unhappy that their nest had been disturbed. The Hanyue bird spouted a gust of silver light, which instantly froze the entire cave entrance. They pretended to be deaf and dumb. If they wanted to catch it, they would have to wait for half a year.
Xu Mingxi ignored the above movements, he knew that it was impossible for him to catch this two hundred thousand year old beast now, the best thing that could be done was to utilize the time to improve himself.
What he needed to do now was to continue improving his control over starlight and moonlight until the two could fuse perfectly.
The high priest watched Xu Mingxi try to merge in the darkness, and he wasn't optimistic. Although he had never seen a human who mastered these three energies simultaneously, it wasn't easy to merge starlight and moonlight.
Testing was still ongoing and there was no time limit. He still had a few decades to live and could definitely wait. If the people in the valley wanted to cause trouble, don't blame him for wanting to kill them.
Xu Mingxi's arrival made the residents of Sun Moon Valley uneasy. Led by the two old men, almost everyone wanted to leave this small world.
It's not that the High Priest didn't let them leave. The Sun and Moon God hadn't set up daily entrances and exits to the Valley of the Sun and Moon. Only the high priest and the challenger could enter and exit freely, and everyone else could only enter and could not leave.
The once peaceful village streets were suddenly engulfed in fighting today. The top leaders of the two clearly divided camps sat together on a rare occasion.
"Jin Lin, don't get too excited. No matter how excited you are, you won't be comparable to the high priestess. It's better to take it easy."
"Yinlin, stop pretending. Aren't you the one who wants out the most among us?"
Sun Moon Valley Village was divided into two branches, one branch had the Red Fire Bird spirit, and the other branch had the Frozen Bird spirit. They had been at odds in the past, but now they could barely sit together peacefully, all because of the two elders, Jinlin and Yinlin, who were also the only two Douluo-titled people in both branches.
Although they fought bitterly, they were able to bring the two camps together. Their relationship was not that of enemies. Although they were not particularly close, they could be considered comrades-in-arms who shared the same hatred and enemies.
For many years, the two bloodlines had lived in the Valley of the Sun and Moon, but the information passed down from generation to generation told them how rich and colorful the outside world was.
At the same time, it also made the two old people know that their strength was enough to dominate the outside world, which made them want to leave this narrow place and go out to enjoy life.
This wasn't the first time they had asked the high priest for help, but each time they were refused on the grounds that there was no way to get them out. This excuse certainly did not satisfy them.
In their opinion, since the high priest could get in and out, they must be able to do it too, he just wanted them to stay in the valley.
This idea had been circulating in the village for many years, but it only came to full light after the emergence of the two Titled Douluo in this generation.
The villagers obtained their soul rings mostly from the soul beasts they tamed. Although the environment in the Sun Moon Valley was favorable and resources were abundant, the maximum lifespan of these soul beasts was no more than ten thousand years. The two elders were able to become Title Douluo only thanks to the two sets of soul bones passed down from one generation to another over thousands of years.
Although these soul bones were only a few thousand years old, and at most no more than 20,000 years old, their accumulation had allowed them to break through the Titled Douluo bottleneck.
However, the long-standing peace, coupled with the fact that they were the strongest within the tribe, made them sit in the well and look at the world, and they were completely unaware of how large the gap was between them and the high priests and Titled Douluo experts in the outside world.
It could be said that even if the two had titles, they probably couldn't defeat Xu Mingxi together.
"Stop arguing, isn't there a new challenger in this valley? The high priest said that as long as he can win, we can go out."
"Hmph, a challenger, he's not worthy of it. I don't know what the high priest is thinking, and he's looking for someone from outside. I say, just pick one of us to succeed. The two of us with the title of Douluo are not stronger than him, a Soul Douluo."
"Don't say that. The high priest is old and sometimes he can get confused."
The high priest who was far away in the arena suddenly shook his head. These people had been in Sun Moon Valley for too long. They really thought that whoever had more soul rings would be stronger.
If these people behave well and don't cause trouble, he won't mind sending them away when Sun Moon Valley is destroyed, and then teaching them common sense about the outside world.
But if something untoward happens, just bury him in this beautiful Valley of the Sun and Moon, and don't go out and ruin the image of the Sun God and Moon God.
