Soul Spirit

Although Di Tian desperately wanted his lord to recover from her injuries, these people were shrouded in mystery in the human world, and their reputation was not particularly good.

Letting them heal his lord was far too risky. If they meant her harm, the consequences would be unthinkable.

At that moment, a silver light rippled out across the Lake of Life, and a silver dragon head rose from its depths. It was the Silver Dragon King.

Di Tian's expression changed drastically.

"I disturbed your recovery, my lord. I deserve ten thousand deaths."

The Silver Dragon King, however, said, "I'm very interested in what they said."

In her view, Soul Spirits were a highly creative idea, one that held some significance for prolonging the lives of Soul Beasts.

Most importantly, this Wu Horse had said he could heal her injuries.

The Silver Dragon King said, "My injuries were inflicted by the Asura God Sword of the Divine Realm."

"Are you sure you can heal them?"

Wu Horse answered confidently:

"Naturally."

He could even erase God King Tang's divine consciousness imprint with ease.

The Silver Dragon King pondered for a moment, her violet dragon eyes narrowing slightly.

"Your purpose in treating my injuries is none other than that so-called Soul Spirit Plan."

"But I must see the entire process of this so-called Soul Spirit Contract with my own eyes. Otherwise, even if you can heal me, I cannot agree."

Hearing that, Di Tian couldn't help feeling relieved.

His lord had her own considerations after all.

Si Snake sneered. "What's so difficult about that? Just choose a Soul Beast on the verge of death and come to an understanding with it."

Di Tian said coldly, "Which of you three will sign the contract?"

Wei Goat shook his head and said,

"The three of us have long since become Titled Douluo. None of us has a slot available for a Soul Spirit at present."

"We'll bring another fated person over."

A spatial rift appeared beside Si Snake, and he vanished without a trace.

The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Ya looked dejected.

"Why is it so hard to find a suitable Soul Beast?"

"We've been looking for most of the day, and we haven't found a single suitable one."

Bei Bei comforted her. "Don't worry, Teacher Xiao Ya. Maybe we'll find a suitable one soon?"

Tang Ya was helpless. "If only it were that simple."

Just then, a black-robed figure wearing a snake mask appeared out of thin air.

"Little girl, it's your lucky day. I'm giving you an opportunity."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Si Snake seized Tang Ya by the shoulder, and they vanished.

At the sight, Bei Bei's eyes blazed with fury. "Teacher Xiao Ya!"

His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon instantly possessed him, and violent lightning surged into the void.

But Tang Ya and Si Snake had already vanished without a trace.

"The Zodiac Temple! The Zodiac Temple again!"

Bei Bei slammed his fist into a nearby tree.

His eyes were filled with anguish. He had never expected Xiao Ya to be abducted right in front of him.

Then he gritted his teeth and raced toward Shrek.

At this point, he could only ask his great-great-grandfather for help.

As they traveled through the void,

Tang Ya forced herself to speak.

"You're Si Snake of the Zodiac Temple. Why did you grab me?"

"Our Tang Sect fell into decline long ago. We don't have any money!"

"I'm telling you, no one will pay to ransom me."

Si Snake chuckled leisurely.

"No one believes the truth these days."

"I said I was giving you an opportunity, and that's exactly what I'm doing."

"Just take a message back to Shrek afterward."

Tang Ya was dumbfounded to hear that.

Was there really no danger?

Did such good fortune really fall from the sky?

She didn't believe it.

But under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to bow her head.

A moment later, Tang Ya and Si Snake arrived in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

At the sight of all the terrifying Ferocious Beasts gathered beside the Lake of Life, Tang Ya nearly went pale with fright.

Why had the Zodiac Temple brought me to a place like this?

Even Mu En wouldn't dare enter this core region lightly.

Di Tian frowned and said,

"This is the human you brought? Her aptitude is mediocre."

"Will someone with her aptitude suffice?"

"A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Do we have a suitable Plant-type Soul Beast to choose from?"

Bi Ji nodded.

"There is a dying ten-thousand-year Golden Radiant Bamboo. It mutated from a Purple Radiant Bamboo, and its life force was nearly exhausted during the mutation."

Di Tian looked at Wei Goat.

"What do you think?"

Wei Goat nodded.

"She'll do, as long as you make sure it doesn't resist."

"Both sides must trust each other."

Wei Goat walked over to Tang Ya and explained the concept of Soul Spirits and the process of forming a contract.

Tang Ya listened with a bewildered expression.

What was a Soul Spirit? It was the first time she had ever heard of one.

Could this really work?

Besides, it was a ten-thousand-year Plant-type Soul Beast.

Just as she was still feeling somewhat resistant, a voice sounded in her mind.

"Little girl, cooperate with the contract, and it will bring you nothing but benefits."

"And let me tell you something else: our Zodiac Temple has a way to bring the dead back to life."

Tang Ya's pupils contracted at those words.

Bring the dead back to life?

Didn't that mean I might have a chance to see my dead parents again?

At that moment, the thought filled her mind.

Even if an abyss lay ahead, she was willing to jump in.

Besides, she had no choice now. If she didn't do as the Zodiac Temple said, what else could she do?

She could only treat a dead horse as though it were alive and first make sure she survived.

Tang Ya nodded vigorously. "I'm willing to try the contract."

Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King were surprised. Humans really did know how to deal with other humans. Tang Ya had looked resistant just moments ago, yet now she had completely changed her mind.

Di Tian then brought over the ten-thousand-year Golden Radiant Bamboo.

"With the soul as the guide, may the Soul Spirit endure forever. Contract!"

As Wei Goat performed the Soul Spirit Secret Technique, the Golden Radiant Bamboo, which had been somewhat withered, turned into a ball of golden light and shot straight toward Tang Ya under the watchful eyes of the Ferocious Beasts.

A tiny Golden Radiant Bamboo radiating golden light floated above Tang Ya's head, its golden leaves brushing against her hair. It looked full of life.

It really seemed to have survived in another form.

All the Ferocious Beasts were stunned by the sight.

Didn't this mean they could use this method to avoid heavenly tribulations?

Even the Scarlet King roared, "A secret technique like this actually exists!"

Bi Ji was also stunned. She had a feeling that this was an important day that could change the relationship between humans and Soul Beasts.

Di Tian was also deeply astonished. He hadn't expected that what Wei Goat had said might actually be true.

The Silver Dragon Fish's dragon eyes also trembled. As far as she was concerned, she had even been ready to kill them, but the three humans had actually succeeded.

At that moment, Wei Goat said calmly,

"This is the sincerity of our Spirit Pagoda."

The Silver Dragon King nodded.

The Lake of Life exploded, and an exquisitely beautiful silver dragon's body instantly appeared above it.

As Tang Ya watched, she even forgot her joy at obtaining a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring.

What kind of Soul Beast was this?

It was simply too beautiful.

Yet a crimson scar marked the beautiful silver dragon's body.

Wu Horse took a deep breath, and nine Soul Rings lit up around him.

A beam of white light then shot from his palm toward the Silver Dragon King.

As she felt the warm healing power flow into her body, the Silver Dragon King sensed the killing power of the Asura God Sword, which had plagued her for countless years, being forcibly driven out of her body.

The Silver Dragon King felt a wonderfully soothing sense of relief.

The power within her had never flowed so smoothly.

But a moment later,

the white healing light radiating from Wu Horse stopped.

Wu Horse was also gasping for breath.

He seemed to be exhausted.

The Silver Dragon King froze.

It was like having someone clean her ears and suddenly stop halfway through.

Being stopped just short like that left her feeling a tremendous letdown.

Di Tian frowned. "Why did you stop?"

Wu Horse put on an innocent expression and said,

"Too much of anything is as bad as too little. The divine power of the Asura God Sword is formidable. Treating Her Excellency the Silver Dragon King has even damaged my origin."

"We'll have to wait a while before the next course of treatment."

Di Tian grew anxious. "How long is a while?"

With his lord's recovery at stake, he couldn't help being anxious.

By now, the Silver Dragon King could clearly see that Wu Horse and the others were making excuses to obtain more benefits.

She said,

"Di Tian, first help these guests complete the Soul Spirit Plan."

Wei Goat smiled. "Her Excellency the Silver Dragon King really does have a talent for business."
