Chapter 59 Xie Xie: I really do possess astonishing talent!
Lately, Xie Xie has been having a bizarre dream: every night, he inexplicably finds himself in a massive, ancient palace, where he is forced to learn swordsmanship. This phenomenon began after his contact with Huo Yuhao, and it became even more pronounced after he acquired an ancient sword-shaped soul tool at an auction.
By building a good relationship with Huo Yuhao, he gained insights into cultivation, which greatly benefited him. He wondered how the other party could be so mature, composed, and knowledgeable at such a young age.
"Brother Yuhao, do you think my dream was normal? Or was it a bit weird?"
Xie Xie immediately sought out Huo Yuhao, whom he knew best, and brought over the soul tool. Huo Yuhao was also very familiar with this soul tool; it was the Judgment Sword used by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy ten thousand years ago, a rare soul tool with both light and dark attributes.
In the original novel of Peerless Tang Sect, it also became Brother Ji's weapon.
He was even more aware of Xie Xie's dream, so he told a series of mystical tales, "Do you know the legend of the Four Luminaries of Wolf and Star?"
"The Four Luminaries of the Wolf Star? What are those?"
Xie Xie, of course, had no idea about the story Huo Yuhao had made up on the spot. He thought it was just some legend circulating within the Spirit Pagoda, and immediately asked with a curious tone, "Does it have anything to do with my current situation?"
"That's natural. The four stars of the Wolf Star are the Heavenly Fiend Lonely Star, the Broken Army Star of Taboo, the Rahu Star of Destruction, and the Void Star of Loss. These four stars actually represent a kind of destiny. You can understand destiny as a special, ethereal kind of luck."
"This 'lonely star of calamity' refers to the 'lonely star of calamity,' destined for a life of solitude. The 'inauspicious star of the Broken Army' corresponds to the Broken Army star, whose inhabitants are destined to compete for supremacy."
At first, Xie Xie didn't quite understand, but after hearing "Lone Star of Calamity," he instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. His expression turned solemn. If he became a Lone Star of Calamity, how could he refine the potential from his family?! Wouldn't that greatly reduce his potential?!
I absolutely don't want to be a cursed lone star!
"Brother Yuhao, Uncle, Father, is it really as mystical as you say? What star am I? Is there any way to avoid this?"
Huo Yuhao suppressed a smile and feigned surprise, "I never expected that the Four Stars of Wolf and Star would reappear in this era. This is still my... never mind, let's not talk about this."
His cryptic and enigmatic manner made Xie Xie very anxious. So, am I really a cursed loner? In which book is this written?
Leaving himself enough room for maneuver later, Huo Yuhao slowly explained, "Judging from your appearance and astrological chart, you're unlikely to be a cursed lone star. A cursed lone star wouldn't be as ridiculous as you."
Huh? Bro, I admit I'm not as good as you. In your eyes, I might be a humanoid, but I never expected that you would actually consider me a comedian?
Xie Xie was deeply hurt, hurt in every sense of the word.
"Your death anniversary is the anniversary of the death of the Po Jun star, and you will surely make a name for yourself in the future."
First of all, I am not a cursed lone star!
Secondly, I actually have unparalleled talent!
Third, my talent even comes with a built-in cheat code!
Xie Xie quickly regained his composure and cheered up. Even Xiao Tu almost cheered up too. When people are happy, they can always be energetic. Fortunately, he did not lose his composure.
Xie Xie happily bowed to Huo Yuhao, the great Buddha, and continued to ask without hesitation, "Boss, can you tell me about the Wolf Star and the Four Luminaries? There aren't any traps in this, are there? Boss, Boss..."
Seemingly annoyed by these trivial questions, Huo Yuhao simply tossed a book into Xie Xie's hands, saying, "You'll know when you get back."
Xie Xie returned home dejectedly, carrying the book with him.

Guanglong was, after all, a Soul Emperor, a Level 6 professional, and his wealth was considerable. He replaced his broken arm with an artificial one worth 5000 million, equivalent to a ten-thousand-year soul bone, which greatly improved his overall strength.
Because the matter stemmed from the Donghai Academy's side, the former dean reluctantly paid for all the expenses, meaning Guanglong didn't actually spend a single penny.
After he recovered, he retrieved the corpse of the faceless man he had killed that day. The reappearance of evil soul masters on the Douluo Continent aroused everyone's vigilance.
After much deliberation, Xu, the official in charge of Donghai, realized that this was not a matter he could be responsible for and could not handle. So he made a phone call and told Sikong Hong of the Spirit Pagoda about it.
He hoped that the Spirit Pagoda would take responsibility for the evil spirit masters, his words almost pleading.
Sikong Hong sat in his office. He'd had a lot more to do lately because of this matter. Rubbing his head, which ached from overthinking, Sikong Hong closed his laptop and said to the person reporting, "Are you sure there's no information missing?"
"Absolutely certain!"
The person reporting the information said with absolute certainty.
"Unless they didn't awaken their martial soul in our Spirit Pagoda, all the information about soul masters in East Sea City is here."
As he spoke, he revealed an angry and aggrieved expression, but then showed fear because of the other party's identity as a branch tower master. "Please do not question our intelligence network! Our Spirit Pagoda has always had information on the identities of all soul masters in the world, and there is no way there could be any mistakes."
"...Then there's only one possibility." Sikong Hong expressed his understanding. He also knew that his intelligence network was invincible. In modern times, from the moment a Soul Master awakens their Martial Soul, their entire life is under the control of the Spirit Pagoda. They themselves may not even know as much about themselves as the Spirit Pagoda does about them.
Unless those people are so repressed that they're practically dying, just for one moment of glory, but then again, if they can't make a name for themselves in life, dying is the same as not having repressed at all.
There was no corresponding character like the Faceless Man in the Spirit Pagoda's intelligence network. He had just accessed the Spirit Pagoda's internal network on his computer, but he had not found any similar Soul Masters who had time to commit crimes here.
It can be confirmed that this is indeed a genuine evil spirit master. If he didn't come from a continent, then he is an unregistered person who escaped screening through some means.
This is not surprising. The sun is so great, shining upon the world, yet there are still many shadows in human history. Neither the Spirit Pagoda nor the Federation can guarantee that they are without any loopholes.
"Damn it, these lowly beasts from another continent have come to our Douluo Continent to cause trouble! This is outrageous!" Sikong Hong slammed his fist on the table. He was genuinely furious at this moment. Although he usually slacked off and did nothing, he was no pushover when it came to important matters.
There are no longer any native evil spirit masters in the Douluo Continent, or more accurately, there are no longer any "evil spirit masters" who practice evil magic. After all, according to certain standards, anyone whose martial spirit has the attribute of darkness is considered an evil spirit master.
