Auspicious Beast's Improvement

Ten minutes later

The Soul Beasts at the very outskirts began to wake up. After awakening, they silently prostrated themselves before Su Yu, then gradually departed.

Twenty minutes later

Watching another large group of Soul Beasts leave, Su Yu could not help but smile. He now knew that the special power within him truly could help Soul Beasts cultivate.

To be honest, Su Yu felt that he had probably become the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent. After all, how could a mere breakthrough trigger such a powerful phenomenon if he were not the Child of Destiny?

Half an hour later

Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Bi Ji finally opened their eyes.

"12,000 years of cultivation... Auspicious Beast, you actually gained a full 5,000 years of cultivation. How is that possible? Little Su Yu, this ability of yours is far too terrifying." Bi Ji stared at Su Yu with wide eyes, unable to believe it.

For some reason, Bi Ji now felt that Su Yu gave off an especially comforting aura. Under the influence of that aura, she found herself liking Su Yu even more.

"Alright, let's head back." As she spoke, Bi Ji intended to pick Su Yu up. However, just as her hand was about to touch him—

A streak of golden light instantly flashed past Bi Ji. Three-Eyed Golden Lion's petite body had actually expanded to nearly two meters in size.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion nudged Su Yu onto her back, then broke into a run toward the Lake of Life.

Lake of Life

Di Tian, Bi Ji, Bear Lord, Zi Ji, Ten Thousand Demons King, and Demon Spirit—six powerful Fierce Beasts—were gathered together, every one of them wearing a grave expression.

"Bi Ji, if what you said is true, then when Su Yu breaks through to level thirty next time, I hope we can have him make his breakthrough beside our lord. That power might truly be able to heal our lord's injuries. After all, it is a power that can even increase the Auspicious Beast's cultivation."

Di Tian spoke solemnly. His tone was serious, carrying an overbearing air that allowed no refusal.

"Agreed. I think so as well. If Su Yu can heal our lord, that would be wonderful. As long as our lord emerges from seclusion, Star Dou will surely rise." As one of the few remaining descendants of true dragons, Zi Ji also spoke with a smile.

"Agreed." The other Fierce Beasts had no objections. Although Su Yu could help them increase their cultivation, every one of them had over 150,000 years of cultivation. They truly did not think much of a mere 5,000 years.

However, what they had not considered was whether Su Yu's power might strengthen again. After all, Su Yu was only a little over level twenty.

"System, open the panel," Su Yu said softly.

Ding. Successfully opened.

Evaluation: Having just entered the martial world, you possess some combat ability, but it remains undeniable that you are weak.

Holy Fire Armor was precisely the second soul skill Su Yu had obtained. Holy Fire Armor had no other effect. Its sole function was to summon armor over his body for defense.

Although Su Yu had not tested it yet, he felt that with Holy Fire Armor, a Soul Elder around level thirty would have no chance of injuring him.

Though a level-thirty Soul Elder might not amount to much, Su Yu himself was only level twenty. Bridging a gap of ten levels was already quite impressive.

"System, take out Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement," Su Yu silently said in his heart.

Very soon, the Scroll for Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement appeared in Su Yu's hand. He flipped through it, then headed straight outside.

"Little one, I'm counting on you. I'm entrusting my safety to you. Protect me well, and I'll give you a reward afterward," Su Yu said with a cheerful smile as he looked at the nearly two-meter-tall Three-Eyed Golden Lion before him.

"Wuuu." A humanlike look of confusion appeared on Three-Eyed Golden Lion's face. However, seeing that Su Yu did not seem to be joking, she nodded.

Before long, Su Yu and Three-Eyed Golden Lion arrived at a swamp.

Taking out the Scroll, Su Yu studied how to cultivate Thunder Flash, the first level of Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement. After looking for a while, a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

Streams of Soul Power continuously covered Su Yu's feet as he took a step forward.

Splash! Su Yu sank viciously into the mud. Under the force of his Soul Power, clumps of black sludge slapped fiercely against his body. After only one attempt, Su Yu had become a mud man.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion pulled Su Yu out in one motion. After resting for a while, Su Yu began cultivating Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement again.

Again and again, Su Yu fell into the mud. Again and again, Three-Eyed Golden Lion pulled him back out.

Nighttime

Su Yu sat beside the campfire while Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay beside it.

Looking at the several grilled fish that were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, Su Yu took two for himself, then placed all the remaining grilled fish beside Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. I'll still need to rely on you tomorrow." Su Yu smiled and took a bite of grilled fish.

After an entire day, Su Yu had made no progress at all with Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement.

The essence of Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement lies in the word 'thunder.' Every Scroll contains sealed Wind and Thunder Power. I originally wanted to see whether I could cultivate it without using Wind and Thunder Power, but it seems that would be rather difficult.

As Su Yu ate, he thought, It looks like I can only wait until Heavenly Thunder descends. Once I absorb the Wind and Thunder Power within the Scroll, I can continue cultivating it. Without Wind and Thunder Power, it was nearly impossible for Su Yu to successfully cultivate Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement.

Even Xiao Yan had expended tremendous effort when cultivating Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement, let alone Su Yu now. Therefore, Su Yu did not feel disappointed or discouraged.

After finishing the grilled fish, Su Yu wiped his mouth and jumped straight into the Lake of Life, taking a satisfying bath. He then returned to his little house.

"Very well, Di Tian. When Su Yu breaks through again, bring him to me. Since none of you can discern what is strange about that power, let me take a look myself."

Gu Yuena's voice slowly drifted from the depths of the Lake of Life.

Di Tian knelt on one knee by the Lake of Life. Hearing Gu Yuena's words, he nodded solemnly.

Early morning

Looking at the fine weather, Su Yu could not help but sigh softly. He wanted it to rain.

"Forget it. If I need something, I'll go find Bi Ji." After thinking it over, Su Yu walked toward where Bi Ji lived.

"Little one, what brings you to see me so early in the morning?" Bi Ji asked curiously as she looked at Su Yu, who had appeared at her door at daybreak.
