Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Come, Fight Me

"Hiss, why did I suddenly get a chill down my back? Could someone be thinking about me?"

The moment Su Yu emerged from the Space Passage, he shuddered, feeling an invisible chill wash over him.

"Could that Little Scoundrel be plotting against me again?"

Su Yu was somewhat suspicious.

Whenever something bad happened, he instinctively blamed a certain God King.

It couldn't be helped. He was now someone chosen by the World Will, and that God King was probably already preparing to scheme against him.

If the Novice Protection Period had not yet ended, that God King would likely have already begun targeting him and setting things in motion.

Just look at how miserably Huo Yuhao had been targeted by that God King in the original story.

Even his mother's soul had been taken to the heavens by that God King, who had seized Huo Yuhao's greatest weakness from the very beginning.

There was a reason Huo Yuhao had been successfully tamed.

"Damn it, I'll make you pay sooner or later."

Muttering curses, Su Yu headed outside.

A certain God King, who had been saddled with blame for no reason at all, felt that this was utter bullshit.

Though he was no saint, blaming every last thing on him was a bit much, wasn't it?

A certain God King declared that Su Yu had already earned the right to die.

Su Yu followed the Lake of Life outward.

He was fast, and before long, he arrived at their former residence.

Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were both there. Upon seeing him, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately transformed into a streak of Golden Light and arrived at Su Yu's side.

She circled Su Yu several times, her golden eyes scrutinizing him closely. Only after seeing that he appeared uninjured did she finally relax.

Su Yu took the opportunity to stroke the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fur and gently held her head.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Su Yu said softly.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded and gently rubbed her head against Su Yu's cheek.

"I've added my third Soul Ring now. It's a million-year one, and it's incredibly powerful."

Su Yu smiled as he stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fur.

"Really?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was astonished. "A Million Year Soul Ring?"

"Could it be that Ice Silkworm?"

At that moment, Bi Ji walked over as well.

There was probably only one million-year Soul Beast on the continent at present—the Ice Silkworm.

Though he was weak as hell, he was still technically a million years old.

"Aunt Bi is right. It was that Ice Silkworm."

Su Yu was not surprised. Of course Bi Ji knew Tian Meng.

After all, Bi Ji was one of the ferocious beasts who had absorbed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy.

Her current cultivation was also partly thanks to Tian Meng.

Tian Meng had single-handedly nourished all the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. He truly was "great."

"That Ice Silkworm's attributes are fairly ordinary, but its age is high enough. It is indeed very suitable as the Young Master's third Soul Ring."

"Still, it might have been even better as your seventh Soul Ring. After all, what matters more for a seventh Soul Ring is its age."

Bi Ji voiced her opinion.

"Perhaps, but I'm only a level thirty-six Soul Elder right now. Reaching Soul Sage will take at least six or seven years."

"Even though I have confidence in myself, an Ultimate Martial Soul is ultimately restricted in cultivation. Reaching Soul Sage before twenty would already be quite impressive."

Su Yu was being conservative, but his words made perfect sense.

Throughout history, no one with an Ultimate Martial Soul had reached Soul Sage before the age of twenty.

Forget Soul Sage—even reaching Soul Emperor before twenty with an Ultimate Martial Soul was extremely rare.

Ultimate Martial Souls were famously powerful, but they were equally famous for being difficult to cultivate.

When Huo Yuhao participated in the second Soul Fighting Tournament at seventeen, he had only been a Soul King.

If not for cheats, it would have been impossible for him to reach Soul Sage before twenty.

And Su Yu's estimate excluded the factor of cheats.

No one knew what kind of cheats he might obtain in the future or how much they might improve him.

That was why he was being conservative.

If cheats were taken into account, Su Yu was confident that he could reach Soul Douluo before twenty.

"That's true. Ultimate Martial Souls are difficult to cultivate. Even the Young Master cannot achieve it overnight."

"Forget Ultimate Martial Souls—even with other Martial Souls, reaching Soul Sage before twenty is difficult."

"Those who can reach Soul Sage before twenty are peerless geniuses."

Bi Ji nodded in deep agreement.

"Exactly. That's probably why Sister Na'er and the others were worried that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm might not last that long. His Heavenly Tribulation could arrive at any moment."

Su Yu shrugged and smiled.

There were very few people who could reach Soul Sage before twenty.

Even in Shrek Academy's inner court, those who reached Soul Emperor before twenty were called inner-court seeds.

The only one clearly stated to have reached Soul Sage before twenty in the original story was Long Aotian of the Body Sect.

Sadly, he died far too casually.

As for Xiao Hongchen, he had taken too many drugs. His Soul Sage cultivation was far too watered down, and he was basically ruined for the future.

Meng Hongchen was better by comparison. Her cultivation talent was actually quite good.

"That makes sense. But speaking of talent, that girl Xiao Xuan has rather good talent. If she reaches Soul Sage before twenty, she may become an aid to the Young Master in the future."

Bi Ji suddenly thought of something and said.

The talent of that girl they had casually saved back then was unexpectedly outstanding.

"I don't care whether she becomes an aid or not. As long as Sister Xuan can live happily, that's enough. She has had a hard life, and I don't want to put too much pressure on her."

Su Yu shook his head. Sister Xuan's background was already pitiful enough.

He cherished her greatly as well.

He regarded her as family, not as a chess piece to be used at will.

There were plenty of people in this world who could serve as chess pieces. He would not lay a hand on those close to him.

Wouldn't it be better to use enemies and command enemies instead?

Why was Tang San so disliked? One of the most important reasons was that he had even used his own biological daughter.

If he could be so ruthless toward those closest to him, how could anyone believe he was a good person?

Su Yu detested that God King, so he would not engage in the same dirty deeds. Otherwise, what would be the difference between him and that God King?

"Ah, Young Master..."

Bi Ji sighed. This Young Master's greatest virtue was that he valued his feelings deeply.

But she also feared that this would become Su Yu's weakness.

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan, you had better not betray the Young Master. Otherwise..."

A sharp glint flashed through Bi Ji's eyes. She was kind and gentle, but Su Yu was someone she had raised since childhood.

If anyone dared hurt Su Yu, she would definitely make them pay the price they deserved.

Fortunately, Su Yu did not know what Bi Ji was thinking, or he certainly would not have worried.

Sister Xuan's character was absolutely trustworthy.

"Enough of that. I've just obtained my third Soul Ring and am not yet very familiar with its Soul Skill. I want to find an opponent to test it on."

Su Yu changed the subject with a smile.

"Me, me! Let me do it."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion raised her head, curiosity gleaming in her golden eyes.

She also wanted to experience a Million Year Soul Skill.

Su Yu: "..."

Fight you?

You sure think highly of me!

You aren't secretly plotting something, are you? You just want to beat me up properly, don't you?
