Da Ming, Er Ming

Solomon rode on the Winged Unicorn's back, with Xiao Wu seated in front of him, as they headed deeper into the Star Dou Forest. Xiao Ba bounced along behind them, occasionally taking bites from wild fruit by the roadside.

"Brother Solomon, it's okay, I'll help you. I still have Da Ming and Er Ming. We'll all help you." Xiao Wu was quite frank.

"Yes, yes, I'll be relying entirely on Xiao Wu." Solomon rubbed Xiao Wu's head. "It really is fortunate to have you."

As they spoke, the trees ahead suddenly shook violently. A powerful pressure swept toward them, and the Winged Unicorn immediately stopped, alert.

"Sister Xiao Wu!" A deep, resonant voice rang out. Immediately afterward, an enormous Titan Giant Ape leaped out from the forest. It was Er Ming.

The moment his bell-like eyes saw Xiao Wu, they softened instantly.

"Er Ming!" Xiao Wu waved happily, jumping down from the unicorn's back and throwing herself toward him. Er Ming carefully caught her with a single finger, afraid of hurting her tiny human body.

Just then, the sound of water came from the direction of the lake. Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, slowly emerged from the surface. "Sister Xiao Wu, you're back." His voice was gentle and affectionate, as though he were not treating her as his elder sister, but as a younger sister he had known for years.

Solomon gracefully dismounted from the Winged Unicorn and gave a salute. "I have long heard of you two."

"A human? Who allowed you to enter the forbidden zone of life?" Before the Sky Azure Bull Python could speak, the Titan Giant Ape had already charged forward, eager to attack.

Then Xiao Wu gave him a sharp knock on the head. "Don't go waving your hands around at Brother Solomon! Er Ming, you have to call him Brother too!"

The Titan Giant Ape froze for a moment and reluctantly stopped, but he still did not call him Brother. He merely glared at Solomon before turning and running off.

Xiao Wu awkwardly rubbed against Solomon's shoulder. "Brother Solomon, don't be angry. That's just Er Ming's personality. He's actually pretty nice, just a little stubborn sometimes."

"I understand." Solomon said nothing more. He had a fairly good impression of both soul beasts. Besides, once he became the king of soul beasts in the future, these soul beasts would all become his capable subordinates.

Why bother getting upset with them?

Solomon looked toward the Sky Azure Bull Python. To ordinary people, the Sky Azure Bull Python's oppressive aura was self-evident. Timid people might faint or wet themselves at the very first sight of its head.

But when that pressure fell upon Solomon, it was as light as a breeze, as though it did not exist.

After all, I'm a Deity's Avatar! Solomon thought to himself.

Then he spoke again. "I came here to meet the master of this forest."

The Sky Azure Bull Python looked down at Solomon from above. He glanced at Xiao Wu, unable to understand why Sister Xiao Wu called a human Brother.

Come to think of it, these two soul beasts probably still didn't know that Xiao Wu's Mother had been revived, right?

I should have brought Raphael along.

No, forget it.

Spirit Hall was surrounded by powerful enemies now. If he rashly took Raphael out at a time like this, it might easily cause trouble.

Solomon stopped dwelling on it and explained the matter gently once more, focusing on how Xiao Wu's Mother had been reincarnated as an angel.

The moment Solomon finished speaking, the entire Star Dou Forest seemed to fall into brief silence. The Sky Azure Bull Python's deep azure vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and his massive body trembled slightly, sending ripples across the lake.

"Human, do you know what you're saying?" Da Ming's tone was low and icy, carrying suppressed anger. "Mother died long ago, yet you dare joke about something like this..."

"Da Ming!" Xiao Wu hurriedly cut him off, jumping down from the Winged Unicorn's back and running to the Sky Azure Bull Python's side. "I know you may not want to believe it, but Brother Solomon is telling the truth! Mother really has come back!"

The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, also came over again, his bell-like eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

He crouched down, his enormous head moving close to Xiao Wu. "Sister Xiao Wu, how could that be possible? We saw with our own eyes as Mother was..."

"I know it's hard to believe." Solomon spoke calmly, mysterious light flowing through his golden eyes. "But it is the truth. With the power of The Lord, we successfully summoned Xiao Wu's Mother's soul back from reincarnation and gave her a new form of life."

The Sky Azure Bull Python's breathing clearly grew heavier. He slowly swam out of the lake, his enormous body glimmering with azure light beneath the sun.

"Who is this The Lord you speak of? No... that isn't important... Evidence," he said in a deep voice. "I need to see evidence."

Solomon blinked lightly and smiled helplessly. "As for evidence, I think Xiao Wu will prove it to you."

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously. "It's true, Da Ming, Er Ming! When has Xiao Wu ever lied to you?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, although doubts still lingered in their hearts, the two beasts did begin to feel a measure of trust.

That was right. Xiao Wu would never joke about something like this.

"If that is the case, I will believe you for now."

The Sky Azure Bull Python said, "You wish to find the master of the forest. I do not understand what you mean by that. All soul beasts within the Star Dou Forest are the masters of this land. If you insist on choosing one as a representative, then I suppose it would be Di Tian."

Speak of the devil, and he appeared.

Di Tian's figure appeared not far away.

At this time, Di Tian was not yet the Di Tian of the second era. He appeared young, yet he was still shrewd and calculating, with a ruthless aura about him.

What was Di Tian's true form again?

The smile on Solomon's face did not change as he briefly searched his memories.

It was the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King.

If measured by Pokemon standards, he should count as a pseudo-legendary Pokemon.

He would definitely be an incredibly impressive Pokemon after being caught!

And he was the kind that only existed once in the entire server, something that could only be encountered by chance.

I want him so badly!

His heart stirred at once, but he suppressed that impulse and looked toward Di Tian.

"I've heard of you." Di Tian slowly walked over from the edge of the Lake of Life, too lazy to spare even a glance at Da Ming, Er Ming, or Xiao Wu. His gaze rested entirely on Solomon.

"The current Holy Son of Spirit Hall, the successor personally chosen by a deity." Di Tian's information was surprisingly well-informed.

Solomon smiled at Di Tian. "I've heard of you too, Mister Di Tian. The leader of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, Di Tian, the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King."

He did not summon his martial soul. At that moment, even the Winged Unicorn beside Solomon was somewhat frightened. Xiao Wu was protected behind Da Ming and Er Ming.

Only Solomon alone faced Di Tian and endured his pressure.

Di Tian looked at the young man standing before him. After pausing briefly, a trace of appreciation unexpectedly appeared in his eyes. "You are quite impressive."

He had not been afraid even upon seeing him.

Even the Sky Azure Bull Python, who had the highest cultivation among those present, could not directly withstand Di Tian's pressure, yet Solomon managed it with ease.
