Di Tian's Resolve, Iron Horse Ice River

Di Tian spoke calmly. "Master instructed me to satisfy the Young Master's requests whenever possible."

"The Young Master is not one to act recklessly. When it comes to important matters, he has always been clear-headed."

"Since he has chosen to target the Taotie Douluo, he must have his reasons."

"After all, the Young Master is the Dragon God Reincarnation. Perhaps he can see things that we cannot."

"You mean the Young Master may believe that the Taotie Douluo will pose a threat to our Soul Beast clan in the future?"

Bi Ji's heart tightened as she asked.

"Perhaps." Di Tian let out a soft sigh.

"How is that possible? The Taotie Douluo's strength is at most on par with the Myriad Monster King, and he may very well be far inferior to it."

"Not to mention that the Star Dou Great Forest has you and Xiong Jun. What could a mere Taotie Douluo possibly do?"

Bi Ji was perplexed.

Xuan Zi was, after all, only a Level 98 Super Douluo. Such an existence was not weak, but neither was he so strong as to be unstoppable.

At the very least, before the Star Dou Great Forest, he was not worth mentioning.

Between the Myriad Monster King and Xiong Jun, which one was weaker than him?

What was more, Di Tian was there. On the present-day Douluo Continent, aside from Master, Di Tian was the strongest.

What was a mere Xuan Zi worth?

And there was also herself, was there not?

Though she was not skilled in battle, her support abilities were enough to make even Super Douluo tremble in fear.

With her around, it would be difficult for the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest to die even if they wanted to.

With such a lineup, what force on the Douluo Continent could compare?

"That is unclear. But then again, Shrek Academy is no good thing either."

"Over the years, has Shrek Academy slaughtered few Soul Beasts?"

"They have even hunted our Soul Beast clan on a massive scale to create those so-called Secret Art Soul Bones. How cruel is that?"

A trace of cold hostility appeared in Di Tian's golden eyes. "If not for the need to consider the bigger picture, I would have dealt with those people long ago."

"Shrek Academy may have a half-crippled Limit Douluo, but when have I ever taken him seriously?"

"Now that the Young Master has emerged, there is hope for the rise of our Soul Beast clan. I think the Star Dou Great Forest no longer needs to keep such a low profile as before."

"You mean?" Bi Ji's expression shifted slightly as she pressed on.

"I mean, we shall follow the Young Master's wishes and let those people know that the Star Dou Great Forest has its own dignity."

"Anyone who dares offend the Star Dou Great Forest will pay a terrible price."

Di Tian's tone was forceful, yet incomparably icy.

In truth, he had endured for a long time. Now, he would let this Taotie Douluo become the first outlet for his fury.

And through this so-called Taotie Douluo, he would also warn those human powerhouses that the Star Dou Great Forest could not be humiliated!

The next morning!

Beside the Lake of Life, beneath a great tree, Su Yu rubbed his eyes and woke up.

At this moment, dawn was breaking on the horizon. The sun had yet to rise, and waves of cool air drifted over from the direction of the Lake of Life.

Su Yu habitually stretched, his head brushing lightly against the soft golden fur that touched his face, smooth and warm.

Su Yu sat up and looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside him, still sleeping soundly. A smile appeared on his lips.

Last night, he had slept beside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, using her soft belly as a pillow.

It had to be said, a Three-Eyed Golden Lion belly pillow was indescribably comfortable.

Still, he was probably the only one in the world who could experience it.

Seeing that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still asleep, Su Yu did not disturb her. He walked some distance away, stretched his limbs, and began his daily morning training.

With just a few steps, Su Yu charged straight into the Lake of Life.

His body moved like the wind. Even atop the water's surface, he could easily borrow force and tread upon the waves without effort, showing just how formidable his movement technique was.

This was the premier movement technique of the Wind God Leg—Catching Wind, Grasping Shadow, the first stance of the Wind God Leg.

Su Yu stood above the Lake of Life. Light flashed in his hand, and a longsword appeared.

The longsword hovered in the air as sword qi surged. The surrounding waters rapidly froze.

Before long, everything within dozens of yards had turned completely to solid ice.

This was entirely due to the sword intent carried by the blade itself.

Su Yu raised his hand and gripped the sword, and an overbearing, icy sword intent swept toward him madly.

A chilling aura also erupted from Su Yu's body, echoing with the longsword. The temperature in the surroundings dropped sharply once more.

Su Yu raised his sword into stance and began practicing on the ice.

Icy sword qi shot in every direction. Strands of sword light seemed ready to shatter everything around them.

This sword was named Iron Horse Ice River, and its origins were far from ordinary.

It came from the Shaoge World and ranked third on the World's Famous Swords Ranking, the coldest sword in the mortal realm.

Its first owner had been the Kunlun Sword Immortal Li Changsheng, after which it belonged to the Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi.

Iron Horse Ice River lived up to its name.

It possessed frost-cold sword qi and an overbearing sword momentum, like iron cavalry trampling through a wilderness. At the same time, it was exceptionally sinister and fierce. Once drawn, it could sever the sleet falling from the sky.

Iron Horse Ice River possessed extraordinary power. Paired with Su Yu's Ultimate Ice, it was a match made in heaven.

In fact, Iron Horse Ice River was the most powerful weapon in Su Yu's possession.

Even the Azure Ancient Spear was slightly inferior to it.

Although the Shaoge World was a martial arts world, those in the Divine Travel Profound Realm could travel ten thousand miles with a single thought.

The Douluo Continent, though a fantasy world, was not exaggeratedly powerful below the godly level.

Comparing the two, it was truly difficult to say which was stronger.

As for how Iron Horse Ice River had come into his possession, it had naturally been obtained through check-ins over the years.

Yet in the eyes of Di Tian and the others, Su Yu had acquired it by chance while traveling the continent.

It could not be helped. Sometimes, such things needed a suitable origin story to be more believable.

As Su Yu moved through each stance, sword qi danced through the air. By then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Bi Ji, and the others had also awakened.

They stood outside the Lake of Life, watching from afar as Su Yu practiced his swordsmanship in the middle of the lake.

"The sword the Young Master obtained truly is a fine sword. And this Self-Created Soul Skill is quite impressive as well."

Bi Ji could not help but praise him.

Clearly, she had mistaken the sword technique Su Yu displayed for one he had created himself.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said nothing, merely watching quietly.

As the sun rose, the newborn rays of dawn shone across the ice, and the entire frozen surface immediately seemed to light up.

Su Yu sheathed his sword and stood still, gently letting out a breath.

The next instant, his body transformed into the wind, leaving behind a series of afterimages. In only a moment, he crossed the distance and arrived swiftly on the shore.

"Aunt Bi!"

Su Yu called out.

"Young Master, wash up and have breakfast."

Bi Ji smiled gently.

Su Yu nodded. After washing up, he ate breakfast with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

After breakfast, Su Yu began preparing to do some serious business.

He sat cross-legged beneath a great tree. Light flashed in his hand, and a dark-golden bone adorned with sharp claws appeared.
