Di Tian Appears, I'm Fighting Xiong Jun?

After discussing the Abyss with Lin Chen, Bi Ji waved to Lin Chen, indicating that she would go and awaken Di Tian, and asked Lin Chen to wait a moment.

Xiong Jun stood not far away with his arms crossed, his dark golden pupils occasionally glancing at Lin Chen, and he exuded a savage aura from time to time, making Lin Chen feel very uncomfortable.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay beside Lin Chen, chatting enthusiastically and asking him all sorts of questions about the human world.

After all, according to human age calculations, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is not even an adult yet. In addition, it has been staying in the Secret Realm all this time, so its mental age is about the same as that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. It is normal for it to talk a lot.

After waiting for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Chen suddenly felt a huge and terrifying aura emanating from the depths of the space.

As the black mist surged forth, an aura rose from the depths, spreading a terrifying dragon's might, as if it were ruling the world.

Sensing the dragon's might, Xiong Jun slightly restrained his posture, Three-Eyed Golden Lion also quieted down, obediently watching the depths of the Secret Realm.

"Wow... no wonder it's Soul Beast that's around 890,000 years old. I can sense its dragon might even from 800 miles away. It truly lives up to its reputation as the number one beast god among the ten most Ferocious Beasts." Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying aura emanating from the depths of the Secret Realm.

As the billowing black mist parted in the middle, a pitch-black figure slowly emerged.

He was a middle-aged man, dressed in a black robe, with long, pure black hair hanging down his shoulders, and dark golden vertical pupils with a deep and calm gaze.

Di Tian stopped in front of Lin Chen, looked him up and down, especially focusing on Lin Chen's legs before turning his gaze back to Lin Chen's face.

Sensing the dragon might of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings emanating from Lin Chen, Di Tian spoke in a deep voice, "Considering you possess the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Soul Bone, I may hear your reason for coming here."

"Speak, tell me everything you came to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Lin Chen didn't beat around the bush. After recounting the events of the Abyss Plane, he bowed to Di Tian and said, "That's roughly how things are."

After listening, Di Tian slowly said, "Even if what you say is true, the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest have absolutely no obligation to protect the peace of the Douluo Continent for humanity."

"When you humans hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings and Soul Bones, you never think about peaceful coexistence. Now that you're in danger, you suddenly remember to come to us?"

At this point, Di Tian unleashed a terrifying dragon aura, instantly enveloping Lin Chen within it.

"Cough cough..." Lin Chen suddenly felt a weight on his body, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Lin Chen channeled his Soul Power, resisting the dragon's might, and opened his mouth with all his might. "I know about all the evil humans have done to Soul Beasts, but I still believe that it is possible for humans to coexist peacefully with Soul Beasts."

"That sounds nice," Di Tian nodded, speaking calmly, "But words alone are useless."

"I cannot possibly decide the future of the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest based on a few words from you, a human."

"As long as you humans need Soul Rings, we Soul Beasts will always be killed. Therefore, I do not agree with your idea of peace, because it is impossible."

Just as Lin Chen was about to say something more, his right leg suddenly lit up with light.

A wisp of icy blue light surged from his right leg bone, spreading to the Fire Dragon King Soul Bone on his left leg. The two rays of light intertwined, condensing into a phantom dragon shape in front of Lin Chen.

Bi Ji and Xiong Jun felt the dragon's might, which was even purer than that of Di Tian, and their expressions became extremely respectful as they bowed to the illusory figure.

The Ice Dragon King slowly opened his eyes, raised his head high, and looked down at Di Tian, uttering an ancient voice. "Little Black Dragon, you carry the aura of our Lord. Is our Lord still asleep?"

Di Tian's vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly bowed to the illusory figure of the Ice Dragon King, saying, "Ice Dragon King, junior Di Tian greets you."

"No need for formalities." The Ice Dragon King's remaining Divine Sense waved its dragon head. "The Fire Dragon King and I each left a wisp of our remnant souls within this human boy."

"And this kid also agreed to our conditions for counterattacking the Divine Realm, so he's practically one of us. When our Lord awakens, remember to bring him to meet him."

Di Tian nodded and said, "Since it's Ice Dragon King's request, I will definitely bring this human to meet the Lord later."

"However, I will not easily agree to what he said about the Abyss. I have a responsibility to our Soul Beast Clan, and I cannot easily agree to such an important matter based on just one person's words."

"I know," the Ice Dragon King's Divine Sense nodded, "That's why I didn't make you agree to this human's conditions, but only gave you the opportunity to take him to our lord."

"However, considering you are a pure-blooded descendant of the dragon race, I will give you a heads-up."

"Don't treat this human as an ordinary person. He harbors many secrets, secrets that even I cannot see through."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Dragon King's Divine Sense gradually faded, eventually turning into blue specks of light and dissipating into the air.

Di Tian stood still for a moment before calmly speaking, "Out of respect for Ice Dragon King, I will treat you as a guest of our Soul Beast Clan and take you to see our Master."

"But this doesn't mean I'll agree to cooperate with your human race, nor does it mean I truly approve of you."

Lin Chen frowned slightly, sensing the deeper meaning in Di Tian's words, and tentatively asked, "Then, Senior Di Tian, how can you gain my approval?"

Di Tian snorted coldly, ignoring Lin Chen's words. He turned his head to look at Xiong Jun and calmly said, "Xiong Jun, I'm leaving this place to you."

Xiong Jun took a step forward, his dark golden pupils fixed on Lin Chen, and a "friendly" smile appeared on his lips.

"Human, you fight me." Xiong Jun cracked his knuckles, a dark golden light flashing in his palm. "I won't use my Soul Power; I'll fight you with my physical strength alone."

"If you can harm even a single hair on my head, I'll acknowledge you and consider you a distinguished guest of our Soul Beast Clan!"

Lin Chen glanced at Di Tian, only to find that the other party not only did not stop him, but also took two steps back.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Bi Ji exchanged a tacit glance, then retreated behind Di Tian.

Lin Chen's lips twitched as he looked at the enthusiastic Xiong Jun and Bi Ji, a stiff smile appearing on his face.

"I'll fight Xiong Jun?"

"Really?"
