Chapter 18: Founding the Initial Team
Chapter 18: Founding the Initial Team
After departing from the academy, Xiao Yu promptly met up with Hui Huo and Milo, and together they raced until they reached a secluded valley rarely trodden by people.
Focusing his thoughts, Xiao Yu accessed the system interface. In the past few years, with Hui Hu and Milo by his side, and with the academy's authorities looking out for him, he hadn't summoned anyone after completing his tasks.
Upon Xiao Yu's command, the system interface instantly opened in his mind, displaying lines of information:
Name: Xiao Yu
Martial Soul: Underworld Apostle
Soul Power Level: Level 34
Soul Ring Configuration:
- First Soul Ring (508 years): Hellfire Bodyguard
- Second Soul Ring (1398 years): Shadow Gale Burst
- Third Soul Ring (4587 years): Gale Shadow Breaker
Diamonds: 3680
Summoning Cards: 1 Red-tier, 3 Black-tier, 5 Purple-tier
Soul Bones: None
Special Items: Holy Realm Legion Card, "Compendium of Immortal Herbs," "Advanced Meditation Techniques"
Pending Tasks:
1. Establish a Sect (Rewards determined by sect's influence, multiple rewards possible, highest level: Gold-tier)
2. Establish an Academy (Rewards determined by academy's influence, multiple rewards possible, highest level: Gold-tier)
3. Gold-tier Task: Intercept Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils' opportunity, seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Immortal Herbs.
4. Red-tier Task: Recruit Dugu Bo.
5. Black-tier Task: Recruit one of the four major affiliated clans of the Haotian Sect. (Note: Recruiting two clans upgrades the reward to Red-tier, recruiting four clans upgrades the reward to Gold-tier, rewards can be stacked.)
Nine months ago, Xiao Yu ascended to the rank of Soul Ancestor. With the assistance of Milo and Hui Huo, he absorbed a Shadow Demon Wolf with over four thousand years of cultivation, acquiring a single-target burst skill, Gale Shadow Breaker. This skill instantly boosted his speed by 50%, enabling him to defeat Gao Jue, the Dean of Mingjing Academy, who had reached the Soul King level. The only drawback was that this skill was linear, making it difficult to hit agile Soul Masters.
The "Compendium of Immortal Herbs" was obtained by Xiao Yu for 500 diamonds from the system exchange. Its purpose, of course, was to intercept the greatest opportunity of Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils—the Immortal Herbs.
Xiao Yu was not Tang San and had never studied the Xuantian Baolu, so naturally, he didn't recognize Immortal Herbs. That's why he took precautions and exchanged for the book containing knowledge about Immortal Herbs as soon as he learned that such knowledge was available in the system store. He didn't want to end up like Du Gubo, who had a treasure trove but didn't know how to use it.
However, knowledge about Immortal Herbs was dry and hard to remember, with complex and variable points of knowledge. This also made Xiao Yu exert a lot of effort, which in turn caused his progress in soul power cultivation to lag behind in the following two years.
The Holy Realm Legion Card was a reward Xiao Yu obtained after winning ten consecutive victories in the exchange competition held by the academy. Using this card could summon 200 potential Holy Knights similar to Cassiopeia, who didn't have Holy Cloths. After they were converted into Soul Masters, their soul power levels ranged from 20 to 40.
This unexpected reward delighted Xiao Yu. Originally, he had been worried that the system could only summon one by one, and most of the summonings were powerful Soul Masters. He didn't know how to fill the gap in the middle and lower levels. With this card, his initial team was finally perfect.
This unexpected reward filled Xiao Yu with immense joy. Originally, he had been worried about the system's limitation of summoning one by one, and most of the summons were high-level Soul Masters. How to fill the gap in the middle and lower tiers had been a concern. But with this card, his initial team was now perfect.
"Let's start by using the five Purple-tier summoning cards," Xiao Yu decided.
He planned to use the accumulated summoning cards from the past four years, starting from the lowest tier and working his way up.
"Ding! Selection of Purple-tier characters completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Underworld Apostle Unicorn from the SS Era, with a Unicorn Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 7. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 28."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Underworld Apostle Alucard from the SS Era, with a Medusa Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 7. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 65."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Admiral Io, the Sea Beast from the SS Era, with a Sea Beast Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 6.5. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 24."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Underworld Apostle Tianying Xingluni from the SS Era, with a Fire Vine Whip Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 7.5. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 75."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Divine Fighter Miaime, the Star of Shaking Light from the SS Era, with a Harp Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 8. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 28."
"Let's continue and use the three Black-tier summoning cards," Xiao Yu commanded.
"Ding! Selection of Black-tier characters completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Omega-era Golden Saint Seiya Xuanwu from the SS Era, with a Xuanwu Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 8.5. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 86."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one of the Five Little Dragons from the SS Era, the Dracon of the Heavenly Dragon Constellation, with an Azure Dragon Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 9. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 31."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Omega-era Bronze Saint Seiya, Eden of the Hunter of the SS Era, with a Thunder Lord Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 10. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 32."
Closing his eyes, Xiao Yu continued to send instructions, "Use the last Red-tier summoning card."
"Ding! Selection of Red-tier character completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Golden Saint Seiya of the Aries Constellation, Mu of the SS Era, with an Aries Martial Soul. Initial Innate Soul Power Level: 9.5. Current Innate Soul Power Level: 95."
"Finally, a powerhouse at the level of a Title Douluo has arrived," Xiao Yu exclaimed with excitement. In the Douluo Continent, a Title Douluo was a rare sight, and even the lowest-level Title Douluo, like the gatekeeper Dugu Bo, was highly respected in the Heaven Dou Empire. Unlike in the Second Era, where Title Douluos were abundant, and Super Douluos were rare, in the First Era, Super Douluos were everywhere, and Supreme Douluos were rare.
Having a Title Douluo sit in as the leader, Xiao Yu's confidence increased significantly.
After all, the reason why the Top Three Sects were called the Top Three was because there were Title Douluo-level powerhouses in the sects. And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which was at the bottom of the Top Three, only had one Title Douluo-level powerhouse, Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen, with an innate soul power level of around 95, on par with Mu.
Currently, Xiao Yu had two high-level Soul Douluos under his command, Hui Hu and Xuanwu, respectively. In terms of high-level combat power, they were almost on par with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, this didn't mean that Xiao Yu now had the strength to compete head-on with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Because besides high-level combat power, the strength of a sect also depended on the sect's background, such as soul bones, wealth, prestige, and personnel.
After all, according to the original work, when the Hall of Souls launched the Soul Hunting operation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suffered a devastating blow, with over 1,800 casualties.
Even if the surviving clan members who managed to escape were taken into account, the total number of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members during their heyday should have been over two thousand.
And this was because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan itself was a powerful assault-type martial soul, and they didn't need to cultivate and recruit powerful external soul masters like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had recruited affiliated clans from external sources like the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, their numbers would probably have exceeded three thousand or even four thousand.
"The development of a sect is indeed a long and arduous journey," Xiao Yu muttered to himself, well aware of the gap between him and these old sects. With a sigh, he finally used the last Legion Card he had left.
