Knowing the sight of blood and never having seen blood were two entirely different things.

"Well? Are you scared?" Bi Ji asked with a smile.

"I've made all the necessary preparations," Su Yu said firmly.

If he did not even have this much resolve, then he would be letting down all the cheats he had been given.

"Very good."

Bi Ji nodded in satisfaction. "Then let's begin today's lesson."

With that, she waved toward the distance. Before long, a fiery red three-headed mastiff emerged from the dense forest.

Behind it followed more than a dozen equally crimson mastiffs, each carrying a Soul Beast in its mouth.

The moment Su Yu saw the three-headed mastiff, he recognized it.

This was Scarlet King, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. Its true form was a three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, with around three hundred thousand years of cultivation, roughly equivalent to a Level 96 or 97 Super Douluo among humans.

In the original novel, this Scarlet King was not even a match for Xuan Zi, the weakest Level 98 Peak Douluo. It was likely still somewhat short of Level 98.

Scarlet King tossed down the three Soul Beasts in its mouth and respectfully bowed to Su Yu. "Greetings, Young Master."

"Please rise, Scarlet King."

Su Yu accepted Scarlet King's bow without much change in expression.

Scarlet King was different from Di Tian and Bi Ji. Those two had raised him since he was young, and their relationship was different, so he naturally addressed them as uncle and aunt.

But as for the other Soul Beasts, they could call him whatever they wished.

It was not as though he did not understand what his status represented.

"Bi Ji, I've brought the Soul Beasts you asked for."

Behind him, the dozen or so Crimson Demon Mastiffs also dropped the Soul Beasts from their mouths.

"Thank you for your trouble," Bi Ji said softly.

Scarlet King shook its head, nodded toward the Auspicious Beast, then looked at Su Yu again. "If Young Master requires anything, call for me at any time. This subordinate will always be nearby."

"Mm, thank you," Su Yu replied calmly.

"It is this subordinate's duty." Scarlet King bowed once more before departing with the Crimson Demon Mastiffs.

After witnessing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Su Yu with even greater curiosity.

Even Scarlet King had to bow and refer to itself as his subordinate. She was the Imperial Auspicious Beast, yet she had never received such treatment.

"Alright, let's begin learning." Bi Ji clapped her hands, drawing Su Yu's attention back. Then, with a casual gesture, she pulled a Soul Beast over to stand before him.

It was a baboon about one meter tall, covered in brownish-yellow fur. Its eyes were brown, its arms exceptionally long, and its claws tipped with sharp nails. Its canine teeth protruded from its lips, while ferocious light gleamed in its eyes.

"This is a ten-year Soul Beast, a Wind Baboon."

"Wind Baboons are a low-level type of Soul Beast. Their rank is not particularly high."

"They are generally distinguished by their height, fur, and eyes."

"A ten-year Wind Baboon is generally under two meters tall, with brownish-yellow fur and brown eyes."

"A hundred-year Wind Baboon stands over two meters tall but under four meters, with brownish-yellow fur and brown eyes."

"A thousand-year Wind Baboon stands over four meters tall, with dark yellow fur and dark brown eyes."

"Once they reach ten thousand years, however, Wind Baboons actually shrink to around two meters tall. At that point, their entire bodies turn dark yellow, their eyes become black, and their speed, strength, defense, and attack power all surge dramatically."

Bi Ji pointed at the Soul Beast before them as she explained.

As she spoke, she brought over three more Soul Beasts.

These three Soul Beasts looked very similar to the Wind Baboon.

Clearly, they were hundred-year, thousand-year, and ten-thousand-year Wind Baboons respectively.

Su Yu kept examining the Wind Baboons before him, a strange expression in his eyes.

So this was the God Slayer Wind Baboon.

If one had to name the most famous Soul Beast in Douluo 2, it had to be the Wind Baboon. It had almost achieved the feat of slaying a god.

Unfortunately, it had fallen just a little short and failed.

Otherwise, it really could have bragged about it for the rest of its life.

"Look closely at the differences between them."

Bi Ji's voice sounded at just the right moment.

Su Yu nodded and observed the distinctions among the four Wind Baboons.

"A Wind Baboon attacks by spitting white light waves from its mouth to strike its enemies..."

Bi Ji spoke endlessly while Su Yu learned and nodded along.

Jade Celestial Swans were an extremely special kind of Soul Beast. They were born as healing types and possessed extraordinary restorative abilities, making it easy for them to gain the following and protection of other Soul Beasts.

Bi Ji was even the queen of the Jade Celestial Swan clan. Countless Soul Beasts followed her, so she possessed an unparalleled understanding of all kinds of Soul Beasts.

She introduced each Soul Beast in clear, accessible terms while getting straight to the heart of the matter. Su Yu listened with complete concentration, learning a great deal.

As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion watched Bi Ji teach, she let out a bored yawn.

Curling up, she found a comfortable position and soon drifted off to sleep.

Time passed quickly, and the morning soon came to an end.

Over the course of the morning, Su Yu learned the age-specific traits, combat methods, strengths, and characteristics of more than ten types of Soul Beasts.

He also firmly committed all of it to memory.

No one else could possibly receive treatment like this.

The rulers of the Star Dou Great Forest personally captured Soul Beasts for him to study. Who else could boast of that?

How could anything seen in books compare to studying them firsthand with such detail and clarity?

He had not merely looked at those Soul Beasts—he had even touched them.

He knew exactly what their fur felt like, how hard their muscles were, and how thick their bones were.

That was the advantage of being the Young Master of the Soul Beasts.

After finishing his morning lessons, he ate two fruits for lunch, rested briefly, and it was soon afternoon.

The afternoon was for practical combat training.

This time, they would not be bringing captured Soul Beasts into the core region. Instead, they would take Su Yu out to experience real combat firsthand.

It was all about authenticity.

The surrounding environment and the Soul Beasts were all completely real.

Bi Ji soon brought Su Yu to the outer region. Since he was only a Soul Master, the outer region was where he could find opponents suited to him.

Su Yu walked through the forest while Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion concealed their auras and watched from not far away.

With Bi Ji present, she could rescue Su Yu at any time, so there was no need to worry about him encountering any danger.

Su Yu walked through the forest alone, carrying a heavy iron hammer in his hand.

Su Yu had specially commissioned this hammer. It weighed several hundred jin.

There was no helping it. He currently had practically no combat experience at all, and he knew nothing about using any other weapon.

He might as well use a hammer and swing it around wildly. Combined with his inhuman strength, it would still have considerable destructive power.

Su Yu moved through the forest with his nerves taut.

The surroundings were silent, but that only made him less willing to lower his guard.

Suddenly, Su Yu's vision blurred. A shadow seemed to flash past on the path ahead.

Su Yu tightened his grip on the hammer, his gaze becoming incomparably calm.

Then Su Yu suddenly felt a chill down his back. He hurriedly dove to the right while violently swinging the hammer in his hand.
