Lord of the Nine Stars

Master of the Nine Stars is a long-form science fiction novel by Yuwen Group's star author Yu, following his previous work The Nine-Star Poison Milk. Serialized on Qidian Chinese Network, the complete novel spans approximately 3.93 million characters across nearly a thousand chapters. The story is set in a modern world centered on soul martial arts: humans become so-called "soul martial artists" by awakening soul slots, cultivating soul techniques, and fusing with soul beasts. The protagonist, Rong Taotao, is an ordinary teenager from Songjiang. His mother, Xu Fenghua, is a legendary soul general enshrined in textbooks, and his father and older brother are also high-level martial artists, yet all are long absent from his upbringing due to their duties. On his fifteenth birthday, the day of his awakening, Rong Taotao opens his inner soul map and awakens a rare six soul slots, entering the youth class of Songjiang Soul Martial University and embarking on the path of a soul martial artist. His goal is simple and stubborn: to grow stronger, reach the northern Long River border, and meet the mother he has never known. Opening with the line "Cold stars reflect on halberds, the moon shines on bows," the work unfolds around nine soul martial attributes—snow realm, desert, lava, firefly forest, thunder, star field, void, and cloud peak—and follows the youth and his companions as they train and grow across the academy, border passes, snow realms, and encounters with alien races, drawing step by step closer to the title of "Master of the Nine Stars." The book continues the author's signature lighthearted, humorous tone while featuring passionate battles and ensemble camaraderie.
