Chapter 202: People are relaxed and happy
On the dimly lit streets of the city, a voice cut through the night sky, like a secret whisper under the neon lights. "Young man, please accept this tip. I have something important to ask you."
In the city, a tall man stood on the street, his eyes flashing with wisdom. Su Xing knew that the security captain in front of him, Kuhans, was a good friend that could not be found. "Haha, it's an honor. I'm Kuhans. May I know your name?"
Kuhans's mouth curled up, revealing a generous smile. The soul gem in his hand, which was glowing faintly, silently melted into the invisible, as if swallowed by the night. "I am awake, this is my wife, Lilithia."
During the introduction, Su Xing seemed a little complacent, which made Lilithya behind him look pouty, revealing a bit of charm in her pout.
As night fell, the horn for the shift quietly blew, and Kuhans suggested: "Since it is getting dark, why don't we go over and drink some tea and talk about life?"
For a city guard, he is often looked down upon by all kinds of soul walkers or passing travelers. However, how could Kuhans miss this sincere invitation today?
The three of them walked into a teahouse full of ancient charm. The aroma of tea filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Kuhans flicked his fingers lightly, and a green aura flowed from his fingertips, touching the crystal in the tea man's hand, and the transaction was completed in an instant.
Su Xing witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "A pot of soul-solidifying wine."
Kuhans saw through his doubts and said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, little brother. Soul crystals are mostly used for cultivation and are not convenient for circulation as currency. We often use the soul power in our bodies to pay directly. The cash register is equipped with a sophisticated metering device, which is accurate and convenient."
Su Xing suddenly realized that the transaction method here was so avant-garde, as if it were a convenient payment in a virtual network, without the hassle of making change.
From this we can also understand why bystanders all sneered when hair was used as currency in the past. It was obvious that they were new to the world and were not yet familiar with the rules.
During the conversation, Kuhans revealed many unknown secrets, which were common sense but of great significance to Su Xing.
He learned that the evil thief he encountered outside the city the day before was actually called a Soul Hunter. Such people were spread all over the city and made a living by hunting soul beasts.
There is another branch called soul mercenaries, which is more complex and diverse. They are eclectic, and hunting is only the tip of the iceberg. The selection of mercenaries is extremely strict, and those who are successfully promoted can enjoy bounty tasks issued by the City Lord's Mansion or the Mercenary Association.
Resources, rather than gold and silver, are the hard currency here. In this world built by souls, the rare treasures needed to build a tough body are priceless, and these treasures are all in the hands of the powerful.
In order to exchange for treasures, you must first upgrade your level, carry out bounty hunting, and accumulate strength.
For Su Xing, resources were not necessary, but he thought to himself that this might be able to condense a flesh and blood body for the Sun Queen.
However, this move is doomed to fail to satisfy the Sun Queen. After all, it is difficult for the reborn body to reproduce its former glory, and it is far inferior to the true body condensed with the help of the light of the stars.
Kuhans's advice was like a wake-up call: "If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you might as well accumulate strength as a soul hunter first, and then consider joining the ranks of soul mercenaries when you have achieved success." In his eyes, the two people in front of him were still weak and there was still some distance between them and the status of mercenaries.
Just as Su Xing was thinking about it, Kuhans mentioned another way: "I heard that the city lord is a martial arts fanatic. He has a fighting arena under his seat, and duels are held day and night..."
Obviously, this arena has long been a dream place in Kuhans' heart, and he could not hide his longing in his words.
Su Xing nodded in understanding. In this world, killing souls would earn one soul crystals and experience points, just like what one gained from defeating monsters in the game, only even more cruel.
As fighting arenas, the Colosseum can be found in major countries around the world. Even peace-loving Ionia is no exception, not to mention the underworld.
The winner of the fight not only wins a reward, but also obtains the soul and flesh, and some gamblers even celebrate for it.
"The current king of gladiatorial combat is our awe-inspiring city lord. I, Kuhans, am honored to have had a glimpse of him, but unfortunately the tickets are expensive and hard to come by, so I will never have the chance to see him again."
Kuhans' eyes were full of admiration. No matter where you are, there are always fanatical fans obsessed with their idols, and the underworld is no exception.
In this field, appearance is of no importance, only strength can make the difference.
"Do you know whether this city lord possesses the power to shake the heavens?"
Su Xing was curious. If there was no threat at the soul level, he firmly believed that he would be able to wipe out the enemy.
If this person is extraordinary, going to the arena to show his skills may speed up the accumulation of souls.
"Absolutely fierce! He was a true god when he was alive!"
Su Xing was shocked when he heard this. It was true, after the gods fell, their souls would remain and they would have a way home. The underworld was the other side of the world.
However, which supreme being in heaven was this person who fell and dominated this place?
According to historical records, there have been three legendary star spirits in history.
The first one unfortunately became a victim of the battle between the Star-Forging Dragon King and the Void, and was severely injured and killed in the aftermath.
The second one took over the body of a young man named Aretus, who was ambitious to challenge the sword demon Aatrox, but was burned by demonic flames at the moment of the confrontation.
Thus, the current war star was born - Pantheon reappeared. With his strong will, he awakened the power of the star and became the third Pantheon, the most powerful war star in history.
Su Xing pondered, is this Pan Sen in front of him his ex?
Most likely it was the first one. Aatrox was said to be ruthless and would never allow his opponents to escape, so it is speculated that the second Pantheon should have been completely destroyed.
The documents did not detail the combat power of the first Pantheon. We only know that his fall was due to the power of the Dragon King and unknown void forces.
This tragic scene is enough to prove that the Dragon King and the God
