"Not bad. Da Ming and Er Ming are both stronger than Xiao Bai. The only downside is that ordinary hundred-thousand-year land Soul Beasts don't have semi-human forms like Sea Soul Beasts do!" Ye Wen was reasonably satisfied.
It was just a shame they didn't have semi-human forms. That meant they couldn't use their strength to move around in the human world. After all, if you turned into a beast in the middle of a city, wouldn't you scare everyone half to death?
Of course, not all land Soul Beasts were incapable of taking semi-human form. Golden Eye Black Dragon King Di Tian, for example, could do it.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, condense your Soul Rings."
"Yes, Boss!"
The two sat down on the ground at the same time and began condensing their First Soul Rings in human form. Like Evil Tiger Xiao Bai, both of their first rings were five hundred years old, and their Soul Power rose to Level 13.
Da Ming's First Soul Skill was Azure Binding, a control-type Soul Skill. It was clear that Da Ming was taking the path of a Control System Soul Master.
Er Ming's First Soul Skill was Titan Ape Body. It covered his body in the exceptionally tough hide of the Titan Giant Ape, enhancing his physical attributes across the board, especially his defense and strength. He seemed to be a dual Strength Attack and Defense System Soul Master.
Now that Da Ming and Er Ming were taken care of, Ye Wen could ask about Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts, as well as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Ye Wen asked, "Da Ming, Er Ming, do you know Golden Eye Black Dragon King Di Tian?"
"Of course. Among the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian is known as Lord Beast God!" A trace of admiration and reverence flickered in the Sky Azure Bull Python's eyes.
Ye Wen's eyes lit up. "Really? Then do you know where Di Tian and the other hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts who follow him are now?"
"Uh, we only saw Beast God Di Tian from afar once, when we were young. As for those powerful Soul Beasts, we heard that they all disappeared after answering Beast God Di Tian's call. We... actually don't know where they are now," said the Sky Azure Bull Python.
Ye Wen was speechless. He'd gotten his hopes up for nothing. So when Di Tian was active in the Star Dou Great Forest, those two had still been little nobodies!
"Forget it. We can ask about Di Tian and the others another time." Ye Wen thought for a moment, then asked, "What about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"
"That Evil Tiger is incredibly powerful. Despite having only sixty thousand years of cultivation, it can match us brothers!" The Titan Giant Ape's voice carried a hint of wariness and hostility.
"I know that. I'm asking whether you know where it lives."
Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance and shook their heads.
Ye Wen was at a loss. They didn't know anything!
The Sky Azure Bull Python thought for a moment, then quickly added, "That Evil Tiger challenges us every few years. Judging by the timing, it should be coming soon. After we fight it off next time, we can follow it and find where it lives."
"No rush. If you don't know where it is, then forget it. We can deal with that later." Ye Wen waved a hand, then said, "We won't be staying in the Star Dou Great Forest. We'll be heading back to the human world."
"Da Ming, Er Ming, you can stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, or you can come with us to the human world."
Ye Wen wasn't forcing them to come along. He wanted to give them the choice. The main issue was that they had no semi-human forms. If anything happened and they turned into Soul Beasts, their identities would be exposed immediately.
And after his fight with Tang Hao, Ye Wen had confirmed one thing: their six-year-old human forms, created with the Power of Transformation granted by the system, seemed to go unnoticed even by Titled Douluo-level experts!
Their Soul Beast identities were completely concealed!
Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a hesitant glance. They seemed afraid to speak up, but finally gritted their teeth and told him the truth. "Boss, we... actually don't want to go to the human world."
"If you don't want to go, then don't. You don't need to worry that I'll be unhappy. I said you could choose, so I'll agree whether you stay or come with us." Ye Wen smiled.
He continued, "Since you've decided to stay, find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger for me. Contact me as soon as you find it."
"Also, don't neglect your cultivation in human form. In six years, you should have at least Level 25 Soul Power. Understood?"
Da Ming and Er Ming looked troubled. "But, Boss, for Soul Beasts to cultivate in human form, they have to go to the human world and interact with humans..."
"Then bring some humans here. Or go out now and then. Figure it out yourselves, as long as you meet my requirements."
"All right." Da Ming and Er Ming nodded.
"Okay, Er Ming, take us out of the Star Dou Great Forest." Ye Wen was ready to leave. He still had plenty to do.
"Yes, Boss."
The Titan Giant Ape obeyed without hesitation. He knelt on one knee and held out his palm in front of Ye Wen.
"Up."
Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai leaped lightly onto the Titan Giant Ape's enormous palm.
Carefully, the Titan Giant Ape set the three of them on his shoulder, then ran toward the Outer Region.
"Are they leaving already?"
Feeling the aura of Ye Wen and the other two Sea Soul Beasts gradually recede, Gu Yuena seemed lost in thought. Before long, she made an important decision.
Gu Yuena immediately contacted Golden Eye Black Dragon King Di Tian, who was also in a deep slumber.
Deep underground, a gigantic black dragon opened his eyes and communicated with Gu Yuena through Spiritual Power. "My Lord!"
"I understand."
After the two dragons had spoken for a while, Di Tian sank back into slumber. Not long afterward, Gu Yuena left the Star Dou Great Forest.
"This feels pretty good."
Standing on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, Ye Wen looked down at the low-level Soul Beasts fleeing in panic from the noise and commotion caused by the Titan Giant Ape's rapid movement. He couldn't help smiling.
When he used to watch the Soul Land anime, he'd wondered how cool it would be to ride on the Titan Giant Ape. He'd never expected that he'd actually get to do it someday. It really was pretty cool.
Some time later, they reached the boundary between the Inner Region and the Outer Region. Ye Wen signaled for Er Ming to stop. "All right, Er Ming, you can leave us here."
