Third Rare Soul Beast

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

Zhou Huan was naturally unaware that because of his small intervention, the Goddess of Life and Rong Nianbing had begun to have different opinions about Tang San, and even Ma Hongjun would have a significant influence on the First Generation Seven Monsters after learning the truth.

Of course, this was Zhou Huan's original goal. To defeat an opponent like Tang San, the first step was definitely to reduce his supporters.

However, Zhou Huan couldn't worry about that for the time being. The main reason was that time in the Divine Realm passed much slower than in the Douluo Continent, and Zhou Huan had no way of knowing about the changes in the Divine Realm. The fuse had already been lit; all he needed to do was let it burn slowly.

Furthermore, and most importantly, Zhou Huan is now so engrossed in researching Divine Skill that he feels uneasy if he isn't blown up several times a day.

Fortunately, the research on the Emperor's Sword Nuclear Burst is not entirely without progress. According to Zhou Huan's estimate, the progress bar is about 20%. It's not much, but at least it's not a complete loss.

In this process, Snow Empress played a particularly important role.

Although she complains about Zhou Huan, Snow Empress is actually a cold-faced but warm-hearted person, and she has never failed to help in any way she could.

Overall, the research on the Divine Skill is progressing relatively smoothly.

On this day, after his daily teaching at the Outer Court, Zhou Huan was preparing to return to Sea God Island to continue his research on Divine Skill when he suddenly received a telepathic message from Gu Yuena, asking him to go to the Lake of Life.

When Zhou Huan arrived at the Lake of Life, he was in the same pavilion as before, with Gu Yuena, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and even Wang Qiu'er there.

Of course, they weren't the main point. The main point was that Zhou Huan immediately noticed five other Soul Beast he had never seen before, and one of them caught the interest of Floating Pagoda.

Zhou Huan's eyes lit up immediately. He had thought that Di Tian was slacking off, as so much time had passed and he hadn't found a single Rare Soul Beast for him. He never expected that Di Tian would find five Rare Soul Beasts all at once.

Although he only needs one of them, the probability is still quite high.

Anyway, if he were to search the whole world, it would definitely take him much longer.

So Zhou Huan immediately walked over with a smile and said, "It's been two months, and your demeanor has only improved. Your cultivation is also progressing rapidly. Congratulations!"

Gu Yuena ignored Zhou Huan's question, pointed to several Rare Soul Beast outside the pavilion, and asked calmly, "Are these the Soul Beast you're looking for?"

Zhou Huan chuckled sheepishly, "Sis, you're still so direct. I'm already here, this little thing isn't urgent."

That's what he said, but Zhou Huan's hands were quick at all. He immediately took away the Rare Soul Beast that had caused the Floating Pagoda to tremble, and said at the same time, "The other four Soul Beasts are not what I need."

Gu Yuena nodded and casually waved her hand, sending the four trembling Soul Beast out of the Lake of Life.

She didn't ask Zhou Huan what he wanted these Rare Soul Beasts for. In any case, to Gu Yuena, they were just a few ten- or Hundred-Year Soul Beast. Using them to do Zhou Huan a favor was no big deal.

After all, in the minds of Soul Beast, there is no concept of protecting rare species; all they think about is natural selection and survival of the fittest.

These Rare Soul Beast, with very few exceptions, are mostly weak and nearly extinct.

As Soul Beast, since they were extinct due to their weakness in the Lin Fa, they were not worth Gu Yuena's concern. It was a good opportunity to exchange them for favors, which could also be considered as their contribution to the Soul Beast Clan.

This is why Gu Yuena readily agreed to let Di Tian help Zhou Huan find Rare Soul Beast.

Then, Gu Yuena asked, "Are there only a few Rare Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest that barely match what you described? Do we need to continue searching?"

Although Gu Yuena is nominally the Master of Soul Beasts, she dares not display the Dragon God Power for fear of attracting the attention of the Divine Realm by being too high-profile. Therefore, she has no way to get those Rare Soul Beasts to come to her on their own initiative.

It's manageable in the Star Dou Great Forest, but if it's Rare Soul Beast in other places, you really have to search for it bit by bit.

Therefore, Zhou Huan said, "We still need to keep looking, but we can take it slowly, there's no rush."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "Okay, that's all, you can go back now."

Zhou Huan opened his mouth. "..." Suddenly, he felt like a lackey who could be summoned and dismissed at will.

Seeing that Zhou Huan remained seated without moving, Gu Yuena asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhou Huan coughed lightly. "Ahem, so, have you gotten any information about the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor?"

It wasn't that Zhou Huan was worried about the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor causing any trouble; it was mainly that, as an ally, he should at least pay attention to the great enemy of the Soul Beast.

Gu Yuena gently shook her head. "No, those three Evil Soul Master never revealed the Demon Emperor's whereabouts, even in death. With Di Tian's abilities, they probably genuinely didn't know, otherwise they should have been able to find out. However, they did reveal one piece of information: before the Demon Emperor escaped, he took with him an Evil Soul Master named Dai Huabin, who was originally intended to be possessed by the Demon Emperor."

Holy crap!

Dai Huabin?

Zhou Huan was startled; damn it, this butterfly flapping its wings was a bit strange.

Following the original trajectory, Dai Huabin, who was originally a black-and-white character, could have easily become Evil Soul Master or even Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult. But now he's involved with the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor.

This is somewhat like the story of a major villain's rise to power.

Given the nature of fantasy novels, it's unlikely that the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor will easily possess Dai Huabin. It's possible the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor will be devoured instead, or perhaps the two will merge into one, forming a new type of boss?

Zhou Huan immediately envisioned the outline of a novel about the rise of a villain.

But he quickly shook his head, thinking, "Whatever, I'll deal with whatever comes my way."

Gu Yuena, of course, had no idea what Zhou Huan was thinking. She continued, "You should know that Evil Soul Master named Dai Huabin, right? Qiu'er said that Dai Huabin came from Shrek."

Zhou Huan nodded and said, "Yes, I know him. He was indeed a student at Shrek..."

There was no point in hiding anything about Dai Huabin, and Zhou Huan quickly introduced Dai Huabin to Gu Yuena in just a few words.

After listening, Gu Yuena said thoughtfully, "That's interesting."

Zhou Huan didn't know what Gu Yuena meant, but he didn't think it meant anything.

After showing his ally's concern, Zhou Huan also wanted to return to Shrek; it wouldn't be appropriate to absorb Soul Ring in front of Gu Yuena.

Zhou Huan glanced again at Wang Qiu'er, who had been standing quietly and obediently behind Gu Yuena since his arrival, smiled, and asked, "Qiu'er, do you want to come back to Shrek with me?"

It's likely that this Little Soul beast is under immense pressure living under Gu Yuena's watchful eye every day, and it's been quite a while since it's reunited with its father, Di Tian.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to agree, she ultimately held back and timidly glanced at Gu Yuena.

Zhou Huan sighed inwardly. Look how frightened the child is. No wonder he used to think about running away from home every day.

Gu Yuena glanced at Wang Qiu'er and said expressionlessly, "Whatever."

Wang Qiu'er immediately smiled, but Di Tian's expression was not good. However, in front of Gu Yuena, he could not say much and remained silent.

Moreover, as much as he was unhappy, Wang Qiu'er was indeed unable to completely live without Zhou Huan at the moment.

Zhou Huan, of course, didn't care about Di Tian's thoughts as a working-class person. After saying goodbye to Gu Yuena, he left the Lake of Life with Wang Qiu'er.
