Su Yunlin looked toward Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. "Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Sister have all reached level 70 Spirit Power now, right?"
Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan nodded. They had indeed reached this level. They only needed to obtain a suitable Spirit Ring to become Spirit Sages and truly step into the high-level ranks of Spirit Masters.
"I wonder when Yuhao will come back…"
Bang!
"Was someone calling me just now?"
Everyone looked over. Huo Yuhao had returned, and Di Ruiqiu was following behind him.
Su Yunlin looked at Huo Yuhao. "Done?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "It is indeed done. This trip had many difficulties and dangers. It was all thanks to Qiu'er. If not for her, I might have been torn apart by the Savage Beasts long ago."
"When can it happen?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Right now. Qiu'er has already invited Senior Myriad Demon King and Senior Emerald Swan to select Spirit Beasts. I counted the students in the academy who need to obtain Spirit Rings, including Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother.
"In total, there are 5 people. There are quite a few aged Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Some were injured in battles, while others encountered accidents. They are not far from the end of their lives."
Su Yunlin nodded. "Good. We'll prepare, and ask Elder Xuan to bring a few elders with us."
The next day.
The mission on Huo Yuhao's side was quickly approved by the Sea God's Pavilion meeting. Elder Xuan would personally lead the group, with Su Tianxuan and the elders accompanying him, to prevent Elder Xuan from acting recklessly again.
Just like that, the group entered the Star Dou Great Forest in a grand procession.
Along the way, they did encounter Spirit Beasts, but Elder Xuan directly released his Super Douluo aura and forced all these Spirit Beasts to retreat. After all, they had come to negotiate with the Star Dou Great Forest's side, so naturally, they could not do anything that would displease the Savage Beasts.
The location of this exchange was at the border between the mixed region and the core region.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar sounded. A three-headed giant mastiff charged over.
The Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff, Red King.
"Follow me."
Red King's voice sounded, and then he led everyone from Shrek Academy toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Roar!
Suddenly, a dragon roar rang out, making everyone from Shrek fall into a daze for a moment.
"The show of force is here," Su Yunlin said with a frown. It seemed this Beast God had come to intimidate them.
"Di Tian! Is this how you treat guests?" Elder Xuan shouted.
"Heh, treat guests? Since when did you become guests of our Star Dou Great Forest? This king only remembers that we have been enemies for many years!"
At this moment, the sky instantly turned pitch-black like ink. In that very instant, an incomparably massive figure that covered the sky and blotted out the sun suddenly rose into the air, appearing in midair.
It was a giant black dragon. Its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales. Even looking up at it from below, one could still sense its terrifying size. Its body length was probably over 3,000 meters!
This black dragon was entirely pitch-black, but its eyes were golden. Those golden dragon eyes were especially eye-catching.
The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian!
Elder Xuan's eyes narrowed. "So, are you saying you have no sincerity this time?"
Di Tian said coldly, "Hmph! Sincerity depends on whether your experiment can succeed. If it does not succeed, then what sincerity is there to speak of?"
This was Su Yunlin's first time seeing Di Tian. The pressure he gave off was truly immense. Seeing this pure-blooded black dragon for the first time, Su Yunlin could feel that the darkness attribute on Di Tian's body was incomparably dense. Even the term ultimate attribute was probably not enough to describe it.
Rumble!
Di Tian's body rapidly shrank, and in an instant, he transformed into a middle-aged man who looked around 30 years old. His appearance was handsome and resolute, his height around 2 meters. He had broad shoulders and wore a black robe covered in golden patterns. In the middle of his black hair, a single strand of long golden hair was mixed in, making him appear extremely distinctive.
Huo Yuhao cupped his fists and bowed to Di Tian. "Senior Di Tian."
"Mm."
Di Tian looked toward Huo Yuhao, his gaze relatively gentler. After all, this was the boy who had obtained the Auspicious Beast's recognition and brought the Spirit Soul method that could ease the relationship between humans and Spirit Beasts.
At this moment, an emerald-green figure appeared. It was impressively a woman, a "human" woman with an exceedingly beautiful appearance.
This peerless woman had long emerald-green hair, and her eyes were also emerald-green. Her figure was excellent, and the water-green dress she wore perfectly outlined her slender body. A pair of snow-white arms, tender like lotus roots, were exposed. The most unusual thing was that behind her was a pair of wings, as though carved from gemstones.
This pair of wings was emerald-green, and every feather was dazzling and resplendent. That fresh, vivid green was filled with life aura, making her seem even more soul-stirring, like a goddess of nature.
Emerald Swan, Bi Ji.
Behind Bi Ji followed quite a few Spirit Beasts whose auras looked weak. There was an emerald-green halo around each of their bodies. Presumably, Bi Ji had brought them here, afraid they might die on the way.
Not long after, the Myriad Demon King also arrived. When he saw Su Yunlin, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but he did not greet him.
"Mm?"
At this moment, Di Tian looked toward Su Yunlin. He only felt that Su Yunlin's aura was somewhat strange. His darkness aura was extremely dense, not only reaching the ultimate attribute, but even carrying a trace of divinity.
Regarding this, Di Tian did not care. These were all geniuses of Shrek Academy. As long as they stayed under that Golden Tree long enough, they would more or less become touched by divinity. Di Tian did not care about this.
This time was the day when their Star Dou Great Forest established relations with Shrek Academy. There was no need to make things unpleasant.
"All right, Huo Yuhao, begin."
Di Tian waved his hand, telling Huo Yuhao that he could start.
"Yes! Both sides, please select one member to enter."
From Shrek Academy's side walked out a handsome young man. Su Yunlin and the others were not unfamiliar with him. It was precisely their teammate who had fought alongside them in the Spirit Master Tournament 5 years ago, the Soulchasing Sword, Chen Zifeng.
Now, he had also cultivated to the Spirit Sage level and needed a suitable Spirit Beast to advance to Spirit Sage.
Chen Zifeng released his Martial Soul, the Soulchasing Sword. 2 yellow, 2 purple, and 2 black, 6 Spirit Rings appeared, and a solemn killing aura spread out.
Bi Ji began asking who would go first to establish a Spirit Soul contract with the student from Shrek Academy.
Several old Spirit Beasts looked at each other, as though communicating.
Su Yunlin's gaze fell on the golden turtle. The aura on this turtle's body was the weakest. It was clearly a king among turtles, yet it was incomparably weak. There had to be something strange about it.
That Golden Tortoise was hiding inside its shell, not daring to stick its head out.
Su Yunlin roughly guessed what was going on. This might be that 100,000-year Golden Tortoise that had swallowed Life Gold. It was also precisely because of it that Xu Sanshi obtained 3 100,000-year Spirit Rings and officially surpassed Bei Bei.
The Eye of Life between Su Yunlin's brows trembled slightly. The Eye of Life had sensed the existence of something similar to itself. Presumably, it had sensed the Life Gold inside the Golden Tortoise's body.
Su Yunlin crossed his arms with a smile on his face. He merely found it somewhat interesting.
Aside from this Golden Tortoise, there were also other Spirit Beasts. One of them was a Heavenly Dragon Horse close to 50,000 years old. Its body had been extensively corroded by darkness, so it had likely been injured by some kind of dark Spirit Beast.
There was also a huge Ruby Soft Tendon Python. On this Ruby Soft Tendon Python's forehead was a very large gemstone. Judging from this feature and its size, this was a female Ruby Soft Tendon Python. After all, among reptiles, females were generally larger than males.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar rang out. The Darkgold Sabertooth Tiger that had originally been lying down stood up. Step by step, it walked toward Chen Zifeng. Although it walked very slowly, the might of this Darkgold Sabertooth Tiger had not diminished in the slightest.
