Three-Eyed Golden Lion

Yes, Su Yu recognized the Three-Eyed Golden Lion at a glance.

True, he had never seen the Three-Eyed Golden Lion before, but its distinguishing features were far too obvious.

Three eyes, golden fur, and looks worthy of being called the top beauty among Soul Beasts—there was no way Su Yu could mistake her.

Speaking of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, her fate had been rather tragic. She was also the character Su Yu had sympathized with most while reading the novel.

As the Imperial Auspicious Beast, she bore the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest and possessed the rare Golden Dragon Bloodline. She was incomparably noble.

Yet it was precisely that nobility that doomed her.

Because of it, she caught the eye of the Tang God King.

After a series of schemes, she was directly sacrificed to Huo Yuhao, and her fortune and bloodline were all taken away.

In a roundabout way, she helped make the Tang family what it became.

And with the loss of the Auspicious Beast, Star Dou's fortune plummeted, and the Soul Beast lineage never recovered.

It could be said that the Soul Beasts of Douluo Continent were truly miserable and truly deserving of sympathy.

That was also why Su Yu had accepted Di Tian's arrangements and become the Young Master of the Soul Beasts without much resistance.

Possessing Dragon God Power was only one reason. The other was that the Soul Beasts truly had it rough, and he did not mind lending them a hand where he could.

Of course, Di Tian and Bi Ji were factors as well.

Su Yu stared at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and she stared back at him, her golden eyes filled with humanlike confusion.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked, her voice crisp and pleasant.

It was not as though she had never seen humans before, but how could a human child have appeared in the Lake of Life?

Had Uncle Di Tian and the others not sensed him at all?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted her head, unable to understand.

"Then who are you?"

Su Yu deliberately retorted, "Why were you peeking at me while I was bathing?"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion: ????????

"Who was peeking at you bathing? Wait, you actually dared to bathe here?"

This was the Lake of Life, yet this kid had actually dared to bathe in it?

"Why can't I bathe here?" Su Yu crossed his arms over his chest and spoke righteously.

"You... This water is for drinking. Get out here."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's crisp voice rose slightly.

If this guy had bathed in it, did that not mean she would be drinking his bathwater from now on?

At once, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion grew furious.

"If you tell me to come out and I do, wouldn't that make me look bad? I won't!!!"

Su Yu raised his head, continuing to tease the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"You..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was so angry that she looked ready to enter the water and teach Su Yu a lesson.

Just then, a flash of jade-green light appeared, and Bi Ji's figure emerged.

Seeing Su Yu and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion locked in a standoff, the corner of her eye twitched.

How had these two little ancestors ended up together?

She hurried over. "Don't fight. We're all on the same side."

She was afraid the Auspicious Beast might beat Su Yu into trouble.

How could the current Su Yu possibly defeat the Auspicious Beast?

"Aunt Bi Ji."

When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion saw Bi Ji, she immediately complained, "He was bathing in the Lake of Life. I told him to come out, but he wouldn't listen."

The Auspicious Beast complained. The Auspicious Beast felt wronged.

She had nearly drunk bathwater.

Su Yu was not about to be outdone. "Aunt Bi, I had just finished training this morning and wanted to take a bath, but she came over to peek at me bathing."

"I didn't!"

Being accused of peeking at Su Yu bathing again, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fur practically stood on end.

"Alright, alright." Bi Ji played peacemaker. "Young Master, the Auspicious Beast would never peek at you bathing. This is a misunderstanding."

Then she turned to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. "The Young Master has only just arrived and isn't familiar with this place. Be magnanimous and don't hold it against him."

"Young Master?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was startled, and confusion immediately arose in her heart.

Since when did the Soul Beasts have a Young Master?

And such a little brat, at that?

After calming the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Bi Ji said to Su Yu, "Young Master, hurry up and finish bathing. Today, we will officially begin your training."

"Okay, Aunt Bi."

Su Yu responded, then stared fixedly at Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Bi Ji gave a light cough, patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head, and turned to leave.

Before turning away, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion deliberately glanced at Su Yu, her eyes carrying a trace of defiance.

Clearly, Su Yu had been remembered by this Auspicious Beast.

Su Yu did not care. He grinned, quickly cleaned himself off, and changed into clean clothes.

Nibbling on a fruit, Su Yu shook his still-damp hair and headed toward Bi Ji in the distance.

Bi Ji and the Auspicious Beast were sitting beneath a tree. When she saw Su Yu, Bi Ji waved him over.

"Aunt Bi."

Su Yu called out and hurried over in a few strides.

Seeing that the Auspicious Beast still seemed a little indignant, Su Yu laughed inwardly, took out a fruit, and held it out to her.

"Want some fruit?"

"Hmph!" The Auspicious Beast snorted and turned her head away.

What a tsundere!

Su Yu secretly chuckled, casually put the fruit away, and took a crunchy bite himself. "Fine, then. I'll eat it myself."

That made the Auspicious Beast's body tremble with anger again.

"Alright, Young Master. Stop bullying the Auspicious Beast."

Bi Ji could tell that Su Yu was deliberately teasing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Though the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was fifteen thousand years old, she was as innocent as a little girl and had few schemes.

Though Su Yu was only six, he was clever as a ghost. The Auspicious Beast was certainly no match for him.

If this continued, Bi Ji was genuinely afraid the Auspicious Beast would suffer.

They were both children she had watched grow up. It pained her to see either of them feel wronged.

"Alright."

Su Yu finished the fruit in a few bites and put on the expression of an obedient child. "Aunt Bi, what are we learning today?"

Bi Ji smiled gently. "Starting today, we will mainly study various theoretical subjects and practical combat."

"In the mornings, we will cover theory."

"Theory includes the ages of different Soul Beasts, their characteristics, fighting methods, living habits and preferences, and more."

"In the afternoons, we will have practical combat."

"We are not as meticulous as those Soul Masters in dividing subjects, but we have our own strengths. When it comes to understanding all types of Soul Beasts, humans are far inferior to us."

"As for practical combat, the Star Dou Great Forest contains Soul Beasts of every variety. I guarantee that the fighting styles here will be richer and more direct than those in human academies."

"In a sense, our practical combat is more realistic. Those low-level Soul Beasts will not be like humans and know when to stop."

Bi Ji spoke meaningfully.

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded in deep agreement.

Fights between Soul Beasts were more primitive, bloodier, and more real.

Humans were rational and knew to hold back.

But Soul Beasts would not!

Soul Beast attacks were more violent and more lethal.

But conversely, if he could experience such practical combat, his own fighting style would become incomparably decisive, fierce, and direct.
