Chapter 113: Xu Jiujiu Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul EmpireJust as the three of them were walking through the Star Dou Great Forest, at the same time, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong had also entered the forest, as both Yuhao and Xiao Xiao had reached Level 30 and needed to hunt for a spirit ring.Although ostensibly there were only the three of them, they were secretly protected by an expert, none other than Xuan Zi, the academy's second strongest.Their luck was much better than Dai Youheng's; shortly after entering, they encountered a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear of a decent age, which was very suitable for Xiao Xiao's Soul Suppressing Cauldron Spirit.However, without the Ice Burst this time, it was difficult for the three of them to defeat the thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. In the end, it took the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to defeat it, after which Xiao Xiao went up to deliver the final blow.While Dai Youheng pretended to search for a Spirit Beast suitable for himself, his powerful mental force quietly spread out like an invisible spiderweb. Its core purpose was not to capture Spirit Beast fluctuations, but to focus on searching for the traces and aura of human Spirit Masters.He knew that to find the elusive Auspicious Beast, following the path of the protagonists from the original work was the best choice.Sure enough, not long after, intense sounds of fighting and fluctuations of fiery, fire-attribute spirit power came from the southeast."There's activity over there, Seniors, let's go check it out." Dai Youheng spoke first, his tone carrying a perfect mix of curiosity and vigilance.Star Shattering Douluo and Nebula Douluo had no doubts, and the three figures flashed, silently gliding toward the source of the sound.They saw a mess in the forest, with burn marks from flames visible everywhere. Four young people were engaged in a bitter fight, surrounded by a large group of volatile Crimson Fire Monkeys. The few leading monkeys were robust, had fierce eyes, and clearly possessed ten thousand years of cultivation.The four people under attack formed a simple defensive formation. Three young Spirit Kings stood in a triangle, protecting the seemingly youngest girl in the center. The three had different Spirits: one turned into ethereal Cloud Qi, trying to disrupt the monkey group's vision; another was surrounded by biting cold air and flying snowflakes, fighting the flames; and the third held a bamboo staff flashing with purple shadows, stabbing, chopping, and striking with exceptional sharpness.However, the Crimson Fire Monkeys were too numerous and extremely agile. The girl in the center was clearly the core they were protecting, but she was not completely defenseless.A pure white Snow Lotus blossomed in her hand, and streaks of healing and amplification light rings continuously fell upon the three guards. She was clearly a valuable support system Tool Spirit Master.But at this moment, her small face was pale, and her spirit power consumption was immense. Several ten-thousand-year Crimson Fire Monkeys had already broken through the defense line, their sharp claws reaching for her!"Muxue!" She quickly called out the name of her guard for help."Your Highness!" The female Spirit King named Muxue cried out in alarm, wanting to rush back to help but being entangled by even more monkeys.Right at this critical moment."Presumptuous!"A cold shout rang out. The figure of Nebula Douluo, Nebula Douluo, instantly inserted herself into the battle like Gui Mei, so fast that no one saw how she moved. The seemingly ancient Nebula Fan in her hand merely waved lightly.Instantly, an unimaginable, terrifying spirit power storm suddenly formed. It was not mere gale force; the storm seemed to contain the power to crush stars. All the Crimson Fire Monkeys rushing toward Princess Vina, along with dozens of surrounding monkeys, were violently seized as if by an invisible giant hand, then flung away, breaking countless trees, howling as they fell into the distance, instantly losing their combat capability.The might of a Titled Douluo was indeed terrifying!Xu Jiujiu Princess Vina, having survived the ordeal, was still shaken. She looked at the person who had acted, first stunned, then overwhelmed with massive surprise. "Grandma Nebula Douluo! Why are you here?"Nebula Douluo closed her fan, a benevolent smile appearing on her face. "Your Highness Xu Jiujiu Princess Vina, I was ordered to bring one of Star Luo's young talents here to hunt for a spirit ring."Her gaze swept over the three guards who had been facing a great enemy but were now relieved by her intervention, and she nodded slightly.This Princess Vina was the target Dai Youheng was looking for. She was not only the Xu Jiujiu of the Heavenly Soul Empire but also a member of the Body Sect, possessing twin spirits: the Brain and the Snow Lotus, showing extraordinary talent.Due to the existence of the Sun Moon Empire, the greatest external enemy, the original nations of the Douluo Continent had long ceased their conflicts. Regardless of how many covert struggles still existed, outwardly they were in a honeymoon period, united against the external threat.Because of this, Princess Vina and Xu Jiujiu became good friends, and they usually referred to each other as sisters.At this moment, Star Shattering Douluo and Dai Youheng also slowly walked over. Although Star Shattering Douluo did not deliberately release his aura, his shattered-gold eyes and his imposing, mountain-like demeanor immediately made everyone present feel an invisible pressure.Nebula Douluo turned sideways and introduced, "Your Highness, this is the Third Enshrined Elder of the Star Luo Empire's Offering Hall, His Excellency Star Shattering Douluo.""Star Shattering Douluo?" Xu Jiujiu Princess Vina and the three guards behind her exclaimed simultaneously, their faces filled with awe. How could they not have heard of the mighty reputation of this Super Douluo?The four immediately bowed in salute, their posture extremely respectful. "Princess Vina / Mo Feiyun / Muxue / Bei Tang of the Heavenly Soul Empire greet His Excellency Shattering Star!"Star Shattering Douluo's gaze was like lightning, sweeping over the three of them. He said lightly, "No need for formalities. Cloud Spirit,Snow Spirit, and Purple Shadow Bamboo are all seeds of high-grade Spirits. The younger generation of the Heavenly Soul Empire possesses extraordinary foundations."With a single glance, he saw through the true strength of Mo Feiyun, Muxue, and Bei Tang. This vision filled the three Spirit Kings with admiration.Princess Vina was even more shaken. What kind of prodigy could warrant the joint escort of two top powerhouses, Star Shattering Douluo and Nebula Douluo, for a Spirit hunt? Her gaze involuntarily fell upon the young man standing behind the two Douluo.The young man was tall and handsome, but what was most striking were his deep eyes, which were too calm for a youth, instead carrying a detachment that seemed to see through everything.Seeing this, Nebula Douluo smiled and introduced, "Your Highness, this is Star Luo's young talent, Dai Youheng.""Dai Youheng?" Princess Vina was first startled, then her beautiful eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of unconcealed surprise and amusement. "Are you the Dai Youheng who was a simp—uh, I mean, the very persistent one toward Sister Jiu Jiu?"She had almost blurted out the word "simp," but her excellent royal upbringing and the presence of the two Douluo forced her to change it into a euphemism, though a teasing smile had already crept onto her lips.Clearly, from the perspective of Xu Jiujiu's good friend, she had heard more than a few stories about Dai Youheng's "glorious deeds."Dai Youheng timely displayed a perfectly appropriate wry smile of helplessness, stepped forward, and executed an elegant noble bow. "That would be me. I never expected my minor reputation to reach even Your Highness Xu Jiujiu Princess Vina's ears—truly shameful."Princess Vina curiously scrutinized him. The young man before her was completely different from the image of a "lovesick fool" she had imagined.His demeanor was calm, his eyes sharp, and his spirit power solid. What shocked her even more was that the way Grandma Nebula Douluo and Star Shattering Douluo looked at him was definitely not how one looks at an ordinary royal suitor; their gazes contained clear importance.
