Dugu Bo: "Yes, before knowing about Ah Yin's existence, there were only Xiao Wu and I."
Regarding Ah Yin's appearance, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin didn't know what to say. Chen Xin asked with some confusion, "Xiao Tian, how did you do this? With my mental force, I can't even sense her presence?"
Immediately, Xiao Tian briefly explained the Spirit Soul Contract and why Ah Yin had attacked Tang San and Tang Hao.
Everyone was silent after hearing this. They hadn't expected Tang Hao, who was well-known throughout the Continent, to be such a person.
Ning Fengzhi: "Xiao Tian, is this why you want to establish your own Sect?"
Xiao Tian: "Uncle Ning is as perceptive as ever. That's right, I want to gradually let the people on the Continent know that Spirit Masters don't necessarily have to hunt Spirit Beasts to obtain spirit rings. Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts can coexist through a Spirit Soul Contract."
"Then you should know that ordinary Spirit Beasts generally only gain the thinking ability of a child around ten years old after ten thousand years, unless they possess rare bloodlines, which might allow them to develop intelligence earlier. How can a Spirit Master establish a contract with a low-level Spirit Beast? And high-level Spirit Beasts generally won't agree to a contract."
Xiao Tian: "So at this time, not only the Spirit Master's world but also the Spirit Beast's world needs to select some responsible individuals. I will do this after the Sect is mostly established."
Chen Xin frowned and said, "Xiao Tian, are you going to find the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python? Although they are the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, they are not qualified to be representatives of the Spirit Beast's world. You know clearly that there are too many people in the Spirit Master's world. Just those two hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts alone cannot suppress them."
"For example, right now, if the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python appeared before me, with my current strength, as long as they don't join forces, I can't even defeat them, let alone those who are stronger than me."
Before Chen Xin could finish his sentence, Da Ming and Er Ming, the two Spirit Beasts, directly rushed out from Xiao Tian's mental force sea. Both Spirit Beasts were in their miniature forms.
Er Ming looked at Chen Xin, and the man and the Spirit Beast stared at each other. Er Ming said discontentedly, "Keep talking? Or should we go out and fight now?"
Da Ming said in a calm tone, "Hmm, it's been a long time since anyone has looked down on me to my face. It's been a long time since I've fought, so it might be good to practice."
Chen Xin: ...
Everyone: ...
Ah Yin, who was standing by, looked helpless. When she heard Chen Xin talk about Da Ming and Er Ming like that, she knew things were going to be bad.
Yet Xiao Tian didn't stop them and let them come out.
Dugu Bo glanced at Chen Xin, "Keep talking, why aren't you talking anymore?"
He had also anticipated this situation. Since Ah Yin had appeared, Da Ming and Er Ming's appearance wouldn't be far off.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but almost laugh. She was displeased when Chen Xin spoke just now. If it weren't for Xiao Tian and Rongrong's sake, she would have retorted.
Even Ning Fengzhi couldn't maintain his faint smile. His mouth twitched, and he looked at Xiao Tian, saying, "Xiao Tian, when did the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python become your Spirit Souls?"
"I heard Rongrong say that you encountered danger in the Star Dou Great Forest before because you ran into them, right?"
Xiao Tian smiled, "Yes, we encountered danger, but we became acquainted through fighting. They were interested in the Spirit Soul method I spoke of, and perhaps they saw that my talent was not bad, so they were willing to become my Spirit Souls."
Ning Fengzhi:
Here's an expression for you to understand on your own: you couldn't even make up a better reason.
"What? If you want to practice, then practice. It just so happens that after I advanced to ninety-seventh level, I haven't met an opponent yet!"
Although the appearance of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python indeed surprised him, he was not at all intimidated. A fight was just a fight, and what he said was the truth.
Currently, the known strongest beings in the Star Dou Great Forest are these two, and they are indeed not qualified to be representatives of the Spirit Beast's world.
Er Ming pounded his chest hard with both fists and said in a muffled voice, "Come!"
Da Ming said calmly, "Er Ming, that's enough. Today is not the time for fighting. If we really want to fight, we'll wait until after the competition and go to Shu Mountain. There will be plenty of time to fight."
Immediately, Da Ming looked at Chen Xin, a hint of disdain in his eyes: "You wouldn't really think that we two are the strongest in the Star Dou Great Forest, would you? The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast; how much of the central core area have you explored? The place we usually stay is just relatively close to the central area, and you humans call it the so-called core area. Your knowledge is still too limited."
Xiao Wu secretly gave Da Ming a thumbs up.
Chen Xin's eyes narrowed, and some veins popped out on his forehead: "You mean that the core area defined by us humans is actually just a pseudo-core area, and there are even more powerful existences inside?"
"But even if there are, so what? At most, their bloodline is stronger than yours. Could it be that there are Spirit Beasts with cultivation exceeding one hundred thousand years? Spirit Beasts that exceed one hundred thousand years, apart from transforming into human form, only have about a thousand years of life left. This has been passed down since ancient times."
Da Ming chuckled and said, "That only means your knowledge is shallow. The reason those hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts don't live past a thousand years has a lot to do with you Spirit Masters. I won't mention this for Xiao Tian's sake."
"There are not only hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest; above that, there are two-hundred-thousand-year and three-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, and those with cultivation reaching over two hundred thousand years are referred to as Fierce Beasts by us."
Fierce Beasts
"Then why has no information about Fierce Beasts been transmitted from the forest to this day?" Chen Xin asked.
Er Ming: "That's because those who encounter Fierce Beasts basically all die. Since there are no survivors, the news naturally won't be spread."
Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully; it was indeed true.
Under normal circumstances, Spirit Masters from ordinary forces who wanted spirit rings would not enter the core area at all.
Only those from major forces, who wanted to try their luck, would bring many strong individuals to explore. But to enter the current core area, one must first pass through the pseudo-core area where the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python reside.
There are very few Titled Douluo on the Continent who can defeat these two, and since these two are still alive, naturally no one would delve into deeper areas. Plus, since those Fierce Beasts inside don't come out, people gradually truly believed that these two were the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ning Fengzhi looked deeply at Xiao Tian. He hadn't expected that Xiao Tian, at such a young age, had already made so many preparations in secret, even knowing about the existence of Fierce Beasts!
