The ferocious beasts had almost all mobilized, turning the entire Star Dou Forest upside down in an attempt to find the silver-haired brat described by Lord Bear and Scarlet King.
But with Chrysanthemum Douluo fleeing at full speed regardless of the hidden injuries it would leave behind, they found nothing.
Thus, Lord Bear and Scarlet King, the two culprits behind it all, were utterly doomed.
"But... didn't Lord Bear and Scarlet King say he was just a human child?"
The little golden auspicious beast muttered, "Is he really that scary?"
It was deeply curious about this human who had thrown the entire Land of Great Evil into panic.
Hearing those somewhat naive words, a trace of imperceptible worry flashed through Emerald Swan's eyes. Yet she said nothing, merely gently stroking the little auspicious beast's head.
"You're still young. Don't think about such things. Don't worry, Di Tian won't take their lives."
Perhaps because the auspicious beast had been adored and protected by all living creatures since birth, receiving nothing but beauty and kindness, she was so innocent that she knew little of the world.
Would ferocious beasts fear a child?
Let alone a six-year-old child, even if every Titled Douluo on the continent came out in force, as long as their common lord remained, the great forest had nothing to fear!
What they feared was what stood behind that child.
One had to know that there could not possibly be anyone in this world who knew their common lord's identity.
Anyone who could speak the words Silver Dragon King was surely connected to those beings high above the heavens.
Of course, such things could not be explained to the auspicious beast.
Emerald Swan sighed inwardly.
"Hehe, once I grow up, I'll capture that guy and let Uncle Di Tian vent his anger on him!"
The little golden auspicious beast obediently nodded, then waved her tiny claws and huffed, "And while I'm at it, I'll go take a look at the human world."
"I think that was your real goal."
Emerald Swan knocked the little auspicious beast on the head with irritation. "The human world is very dangerous. Don't entertain such dangerous thoughts, understand?"
"I was just joking, Aunt Bi. I'd never go to such a dangerous place."
The little golden auspicious beast rubbed against Emerald Swan's feathers and obediently agreed.
Yet the curiosity in her heart did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, it only grew.
Before, she had been curious about the human world. Now, there was also that silver-haired youth.
Not long afterward, the enormous black dragon carried two bloody beast bodies that barely clung to life and were no longer recognizable, tossing them before the beautiful lake. Its massive body then knelt as well. "Common Lord, I have remembered that person's aura. Please give the order, and we will bring him back."
The dragon's jaws opened and closed, its voice low and steeped in darkness, carrying dense killing intent.
As its words fell, several figures radiating terrifying auras appeared by the lakeside.
A demonic tree with twisting, entwined roots and branches!
A violet giant dragon with deep purple hues and blazing aura!
A demon spirit, formless and intangible, ethereal as a shadow!
Emerald Swan settled the little auspicious beast nearby and stepped forward as well.
At this point, the ferocious beasts of Star Dou Forest had all gathered!
They all knelt respectfully before that divinely beautiful lake, quietly waiting for something.
After a long while, faint ripples spread across the tranquil lake. A sacred and noble aura spread along with overwhelming pressure, causing every ferocious beast present to stiffen as terror and oppression gripped them beyond their control.
It was as though a pair of silver vertical pupils were watching them.
Fortunately, that suffocating sensation did not last long. An ethereal voice rang beside the ears of every ferocious beast.
"No need."
"He will come to see me himself."
As the voice faded, so too did the suffocating aura.
After waiting for a long time, the enormous black dragon at the forefront slowly rose. Expressionlessly, it tossed the unrecognizable Lord Bear and Scarlet King to Emerald Swan. "Don't let them die, but don't let them fully recover either."
Then, its golden vertical pupils turned toward the other ferocious beasts.
"Spread out wherever you have spies. The moment you discover this person, report it immediately!"
Black flames gathered in the air, gradually forming the shape of a youth.
It was Su Chen.
"Yes!"
The ferocious beasts responded in unison, then scattered and vanished one after another.
"Humans... Gods..."
The dragon claw crushed the flaming figure. Di Tian slowly spread his wings and rose into the air, his ghastly white fangs glinting coldly beneath the sunlight.
"They all deserve to die!"
Spirit City, Spirit Avenue.
Amid the bustling crowds, Su Chen wandered the streets without any particular destination.
However, his expression was not very pleasant.
And the reason was—
"Big Brother, is this a human city? It's so big, there's so much stuff, and it's so beautiful!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's excited cries kept ringing through his mind, giving Su Chen a headache.
When Su Chen had awakened at Bibi Dong's residence, Tian Meng, who had expended a great deal of energy in his sea of consciousness, had awakened as well. It immediately clamored to see the human world.
Su Chen happened to have no desire to remain in His Holiness the Pope's room any longer. After first visiting Su Xiao to assure him of his safety, he came to the streets of Spirit City.
Compared to Heaven Dou Imperial City or Star Luo Imperial City, Spirit City, which mainly served soul masters, was somewhat quieter. But for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which had never been to the human world, it was already an extraordinarily rare experience.
The various buildings, shops, and the enormous palace high among the clouds all thrilled it beyond measure.
"Alright, alright. You'll see this all the time in the future. Stop making such a fuss."
Su Chen rubbed his forehead and waved a hand.
Why had he never known this fellow was such a chatterbox?
Shaking his head, the youth caught sight of a shop from the corner of his eye. His brows immediately rose.
"Perfect. I'll have them made here."
Even before approaching, he could hear the clanging of metal and feel the heat from the furnaces. Several burly, bare-chested men swung iron hammers, pounding metal ingots in their hands. From time to time, sweat dripped into the furnaces, instantly evaporating into wisps of white smoke.
Wang Family Blacksmith Shop.
Su Chen glanced at the sign, then used his Byakugan to inspect one of the metal ingots. He nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of blacksmiths in Spirit City, their skill far surpassed that of the blacksmiths in the small city where he had lived before.
Judging from the auras they gave off, these blacksmiths were actually all Soul Elders.
"Kid, where are your parents?"
Seeing Su Chen approach, one of the burly men came out, wiped away his sweat, and looked doubtfully at the empty space behind the youth.
"No, I'm alone."
Su Chen shook his head and took a blueprint from his Soul Tool. "Can you make this?"
The blacksmith accepted the blueprint, briefly examined it, and nodded. "We can make it. It isn't difficult. Thirty copper soul coins. Come pick it up tomorrow."
Though this dagger looked strange, its overall structure was not complicated.
He was probably some young master having a toy made.
"Thirty copper soul coins?"
The silver-haired youth frowned, immediately realizing that the blacksmith had misunderstood.
That price would not even be enough to buy the raw materials for a kunai.
"I want three hundred of them, all made from refined iron."
Su Chen placed a bag of Gold Soul Coins on the counter, then took out a badge and flashed it. "This is the deposit and proof of my identity. I'll come collect them in three days."
With that, he ignored the stunned blacksmith and turned to leave.
Only after a long while did the blacksmith shudder and come back to his senses. He swallowed as he stared at the glittering bag of soul coins, the blueprint, and the badge that had flashed by.
"He's actually a Spirit Hall student? So young..."
"I misjudged him, I really misjudged him. Good thing I didn't look down on a young kid, or wouldn't I have missed out on a major customer?"
The blacksmith shook his head in relief, excitedly cradling the blueprint before turning to call out to his workers. "Brothers, big order! Move it to the front, move it to the front!!"
Even in Spirit City, an order this large was exceedingly rare.
Having kunai custom-made at the blacksmith shop had merely been a convenient errand. Su Chen had intended to return to cultivate, but Tian Meng kept clamoring in his sea of consciousness, leaving him no choice but to continue wandering around.
However, it was time to bring that ninjutsu back into the world...
The signature technique that had made him the Silver Flash.
Only when the sun was setting did Tian Meng finally feel satisfied, and Su Chen let out a sigh of relief.
After going an entire day without cultivating or conducting research, his whole body felt uncomfortable. He wished he could fly straight to the research base and carry out an experiment immediately.
However, on the way to the research base, someone Su Chen never expected blocked his path.
