Chapter 1: The Wedge: Unknown Birth
The night was as heavy as ink, and there was not a trace of starlight, as if a thick coat had been draped in the sky.
The country of stars and moons, Qingzhou County, Lucheng, is also called an exquisite inn.
Xu is tonight the sky is not good, the location of the inn is relatively remote, the people in the inn are three or three, not very many, one of them, but it is quite attention-grabbing, I saw this person dressed in green clothes, sitting on the seat with a big horse golden knife, holding a small wine glass is drinking himself, and another horse chopping knife is placed on the wine table.
On top of the cyan coat, there was a small white sword, and there were three pure white stars on it.
Obviously, this is a three-star soul warrior, a soul warrior who has officially passed the trial of the soul warrior union.
In the Soul Martial Continent, the strong are respected, on this continent, there is no other cultivation system, soul power is the main tone of this continent, and cultivating soul power is the only way to reach the strong.
The soul is the first to condense the soul qi, and the soul qi accumulates, and at this stage when it has not yet condensed into the soul cyclone, it is for the soul disciple. After condensing the soul cyclone, it is a soul warrior, and after becoming a soul warrior, every time you cultivate to a certain stage, there will be an additional soul cyclone, and after condensing the nine soul cyclones, the cyclone will become one and condense into a soul core, and then you can become a soul master.
Becoming a soul master can be regarded as truly stepping into the door of the strong, and the city lord of Lucheng, Qingzhou County, is a powerful soul master.
The name of the person in Tsing Yi is Zhao Chuan, a member of the Zhao clan in Lucheng, who has condensed three soul cyclones in his body, and is a three-star soul warrior.
Speaking of which, although the Zhao family in Lucheng is not a big family, it is not like a wave in Qingzhou County, but in Lucheng, Zhao Chuan, who is a descendant of the Zhao family, actually disdains to come to this kind of inn to drink.
But Zhao Chuan came, but as a bounty hunter, he received a bounty task in the Shifang Pavilion, the content of the task is to attack and kill a teenager who is still a nine-stage soul disciple between yesterday and today, the content information shows that the target will pass through this inn between these two days, yesterday, Zhao Chuan has been here, but did not find any trace of the target, so it seems that the target will pass by here today, therefore, Zhao Chuan intends to wait here, first confirm the target, and then decide the next move.
Zhao Chuan's talent is not low, among the younger generation of the Zhao clan in Lucheng, it can be regarded as the top few, and the clan is also willing to provide him with enough cultivation resources, speaking of which, Zhao Chuan does not need to do the root of Wuping outside, and earns cultivation resources by doing bounty tasks.
But although Zhao Chuan is highly talented, due to the death of his parents since he was a child, his personality is strange, moody, and likes to see blood at every turn, plus he is unruly, often disobedient to discipline, and has many disrespectful words to the elders of the clan, and over time, the Lucheng Zhao family is no longer willing to provide its cultivation resources, and turns it into a free-range mode.
As long as you don't act too recklessly outside, you will let it go, after all, in this Lucheng, Zhao's name still has a certain effect, as long as it is not too much, I believe that no one will give Zhao Chuan any heavy hands.
The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and the wine in his hand was pouring less and less, Zhao Chuan couldn't help frowning secretly, he was an impatient person, yesterday's waiting, and today's time for a pot of wine had exhausted his little patience.
"Little Er, bring another pot of wine. ”
"Come on!" the sound of footsteps came, and an innkeeper appeared from the stairs and walked quickly towards Zhao Chuan.
"Come, guest officer, I'll fill it up for you." The innkeeper walked to Zhao Chuan's side, wanting to help the guest officer in front of him fill the empty wine jug.
Xu was impatient, Zhao Chuan snatched the wine pot from the inn's hand, and pushed the innkeeper by the way.
Although Zhao Chuan did not use soul power, but the person who practiced the soul path had a lot of strength, and the innkeeper was pushed a big one, and he fell not far away.
The innkeeper who was pushed to the ground secretly glanced at Zhao Chuan, saw that he was not looking at him, rubbed his ass with his hand, muttered a few words softly in his mouth, and prepared to leave. He has seen a lot of such guests, most of them are irritable personalities, and they happen to be in a bad mood, and he can't do anything about it when he sprinkles his anger on a little person like him.
At this moment, there was a steady and powerful footstep at the staircase, and when I looked up, I saw a young man in blue slowly coming up from the staircase.
Looking at the blue-clothed young man in front of him, Zhao Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, stared quietly for a while, and then looked away casually.
This should be the target of this bounty mission, Zhao Chuan has also sensed it just now, although the soul power aura of the target person is not as strong as the ordinary soul disciple ninth stage, but it does not exceed the soul disciple realm.
The realm is like a ravine, Zhao Chuan is confident that within a few rounds, he will kill the target figure in front of him, but it is easier and less troublesome to surprise than to face it head-on.
The blue-clothed young man at the top of the stairs looked around, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he walked straight to a place, and the direction he was moving was exactly where Zhao Chuan was.
"Zhao Chuan?" A clear voice came out of the mouth of the young man in blue, and what surprised Zhao Chuan was not only that the young man in blue suddenly shouted his name, but also the brazen attack of this person who was originally the target.
The smile on the young man's face did not decrease, his right hand formed a fist, and he strode towards Zhao Chuan.
Zhao Chuan saw the young man in blue rushing quickly, and he also punched him head-on.
"Bang", the two fists met, the blue-clothed young man did not move, on the other hand, Zhao Chuan, at this time, he was a few steps backwards, Zhao Chuan was secretly shocked in his heart, although he said that he was in a hurry just now, but the power of the blue-clothed young man's punch still frightened him, this is not like the fist strength of a soul disciple nine-stage.
You must know that the difference between the two is a big realm, plus three small realms, even if you can still force yourself back with one punch, I have to say that the opponent's brute force is really terrifying.
Looking at the appearance in front of him, Zhao Chuan already understood that his identity in this mission was exposed, although he didn't know how the other party knew his identity, but Zhao Chuan now had only one thought, that is, to solve the opponent in front of him as soon as possible, and then think about the rest of the problems.
It's just a kid with a soul disciple of the ninth section, hmph, and he dares to provoke himself?
Thinking of this, Zhao Chuan smiled cruelly, and instead of retreating, he quickly rushed towards the blue-clothed young man not far away.
"It's good to come!" The young man in blue laughed loudly, and also stepped forward to meet Zhao Chuan.
"Ten fist strength", he silently recited in his heart, and then, a stormy fist came out of the hand of the blue-clothed young man, forming a series of visible energy, although it was the last strike, but it was the first to come.
Zhao Chuan snorted coldly, his soul power condensed, intertwined in his hands, and suddenly, a layer of pale red soul power wrapped around his hands like smoke—the Flame Soul Clan.
In the Soul Martial Continent, basically all people can cultivate soul power, and to measure the talent of a soul person, one is to see how fast the soul person's cultivation is, and the other is to see whether the soul person has a soul genus, and the vast majority of ordinary people have no soul power attributes, that is, they do not have any soul genus. And there is a soul genus, but it can take a huge advantage in battle.
The soul genus is generally inherited through blood, under normal circumstances, there is only one soul of a soul, either inherited from the father or inherited from the mother, the soul is often the parent of the line, if a person's parents are fire and water respectively, but gave birth to a child with the attribute of earth, then congratulations, you can go to see the old king next door, maybe there is a special surprise waiting for you, but there is no absolute, mutation still exists.
Of course, if your parents do not have a soul genus, but they have given birth to a child with a soul genus, this probability is also there, but it is basically negligible, if it really exists, it can only mean that this person is the "chosen son", no matter what the person's future achievements are, at least in terms of probability, the title of "chosen son" belongs to you.
If someone can inherit all the talents of both parents, then there is no doubt that this person is the darling of heaven, and it is definitely rare. This is also the reason why the big families in the world like to marry, for the sake of each other's bloodline, for their descendants to be more talented, and then their strength can be stronger.
The Zhao clan of Lucheng can dominate in Lucheng and become a major force second only to the City Lord's Mansion, the flame soul genus is where their confidence lies, not every heir of the big family can awaken their own soul, but Zhao Chuan is precisely the one who awakens his own soul, which is also the reason why although he is stubborn, he is not given up by the Zhao family.
The scorching temperature filled the air, and Zhao Chuan clenched his fists and greeted the blue-clothed young man who was running.
In fact, Zhao Chuan is not good at fist and foot kung fu, he is better at knife skills, which is to carry a horse chopping knife with him, compared to the slightly "weak" means of fists and feet, he prefers the feeling of blood, but at the beginning, the punch of the blue-clothed young man that was close to a sneak attack blasted him out of the scope of use of his horse chopping knife.
Originally, the people around had already run away when there was a conflict, only the innkeeper was still standing not far away, looking stunned and frightened.
Breaking through the momentum that was surging over one after another, and seeing that he was about to touch the fist of the blue-clothed young man opposite, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but show a sneer.
The blue-clothed young man seemed to see Zhao Chuan's thoughts, smiled slightly, and the blue arc shot out from his hand, wrapped in the fist, and collided with the whistling red fist.
Thunder attribute soul genus, Zhao Chuan's eyes couldn't help but squint again.
The fists are blended, blue and red are intertwined, the two sides can be said to be equal, the young man in blue has not retreated, and Zhao Chuan is also as steady as a rock.
Gradually, over time, the form of the field quietly changed. When prepared, the advantages of Zhao Chuan's soul power realm were completely reflected, and the sufficient soul power gave Zhao Chuan enough toughness.
The steps of the young man in blue had slowly retreated unconsciously, and sweat slowly oozed from his head.
Zhao Chuan looked at the young man in blue who was gradually leaking out of decline, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, at this time, his soul power was also very little, and it would take a while to say who would win and who would lose.
He was also very puzzled in his heart, the blue-clothed young man in front of him was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his strength and talent were terrifying, not only with strange powers, but also with strong soul power, almost not inferior to his own three-star soul warrior, the most important thing is that he has a thunder attribute soul genus, and the thunder attribute soul genus is not like the general Five Elements soul genus, this kind of soul genus can be called rare.
Could this be the son of a big family? Zhao Chuan couldn't help but think that if he killed him, would he cause any trouble? And this kid shot at him from the beginning, as if he already knew his identity as a bounty hunter.
He knew that the task given by Shifang Pavilion was so unreliable, even if he was given more compensation, he would not accept such a task.
But now, Zhao Chuan can't care so much, at this moment, don't say that you are a child of a big family, even if you are the prince of the Star and Moon Kingdom, he will not show mercy.
If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
Zhao Chuan was ruthless, and the only remaining soul power in his body blasted towards the blue-clothed young man in front of him like a surge.
The young man in blue whose soul power was close to exhaustion, was invaded by this fierce soul power, and the whole person was like drifting in the sea, staggering, and his footsteps kept moving backwards.
But at this time, although his face was pale, there was no tension on his face, and he gestured with his lips in the direction behind Zhao Chuan, as if he was signaling that there was something behind Zhao Chuan.
Looking at the small action in front of him, which can be called a fierce opponent, Zhao Chuan was unmoved. He clearly remembered that at the beginning of the battle, he swept the entire inn with his peripheral vision, and the guests on the second floor had already fled everywhere and were no longer here, could the young man in front of him be naïve enough for such a little trick that he would do?
The corners of Zhao Chuan's mouth couldn't help but leak a trace of mockery, and a contemptuous voice came out of his mouth: "Do you think I look like a fool?"
