Humanoid Spirit Beasts

Three years later.

"What the hell?"

Nan Feng, who had just emerged from seclusion, was feeling depressed.

Damn it!

He'd been planning to undo the Rat Talisman when he reached level fifty and see if he could do something about the Angel God. But the moment he hit level fifty, the Tiger Talisman lit up on its own!

Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Dog—he just wanted to know how any of those four talismans conflicted with the Tiger Talisman.

Had the tiger already gotten impatient and decided to step in?

"What's wrong?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.

"Nothing. My grand plan just has to be put on hold," Nan Feng replied helplessly.

"Put on hold?" Bibi Dong looked at him strangely.

"You're still thinking about that?"

"Of course. This sinful world needs to be cleansed by the radiance of the Angel God!" Nan Feng said with a solemn expression.

Raw power could only make people submit on the surface, but the power of faith was enough to drive them mad from the bottom of their hearts!

"Stop cleansing the world for a moment. I need you to help me with something." Bibi Dong handed Nan Feng a report that had come from near the Star Dou Forest.

"Humanoid Spirit Beasts?" Nan Feng froze.

Xiao Wu's mother?

"How do you want me to help?" Nan Feng asked, confused.

"Come on, I may be a sixteen-year-old genius Spirit King, but I don't have a shred of combat power. I'm pure support!"

The two little rabbits had already given up their hundred-thousand-year cultivation to take human form, but Big Bull and Little Monkey hadn't. And unlike Titled Douluo, Soul Beasts didn't just use skills—they dealt continuous damage!

His Name Blade couldn't protect him from continuous damage!

In the original story, Big Bull and Little Monkey hadn't shown up when Bibi Dong hunted the little rabbit, but who knew what would happen in reality?

This was the Star Dou Forest. When Bibi Dong and the others started fighting, they wouldn't have time to look out for him!

"I'm not asking you to fight," Bibi Dong said.

"Not fighting?" Nan Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Could it be..."

"Oh~"

"You're so devious!"

"I like it!"

Star Dou Forest.

In the Mixed Area, an injured Holy Spirit Cat raced through the forest.

Behind it was the Star Dou Forest's most notorious Soul Beast, the Man Faced Demon Spider.

What the hell?!

Disguised as a Holy Spirit Cat, Nan Feng was barely able to keep himself from cursing.

Wasn't the Man Faced Demon Spider supposed to be incredibly rare?

How had Gui Mei found one?

And a ten-thousand-year-old one, no less!

Damn it!

This wasn't an act anymore! He was really running for his life!

Help!!!

Bam!

A swift figure shot out of the trees and kicked the Man Faced Demon Spider away. At the same time, a little girl who looked three or four years old peered out from the forest and waved at Nan Feng.

"Come here!"

Nan Feng slammed on the brakes. The cat whipped its tail around, leaped, and dove straight into Xiao Wu's arms. Then he fainted.

"Huh?" Xiao Wu stared at him, bewildered.

Was he really that badly hurt?

Deep in the forest, beside a little wooden house.

Ah Rou had driven off the Man Faced Demon Spider and brought Nan Feng and Xiao Wu back. She found some nearby herbs and bandaged him up.

"Mom, wasn't the Holy Spirit Cat almost extinct?" Xiao Wu looked at the ten-thousand-year-old Holy Spirit Cat in surprise.

Like the Soft Bone Rabbit, the Holy Spirit Cat was one of the weaker species in the Star Dou Forest. But the Holy Spirit Cat was even more timid than the Soft Bone Rabbit. It could frighten even itself, never mind other Soul Beasts.

Under normal circumstances, these Soul Beasts would panic and stumble around while fleeing until they exhausted themselves to death. Very few ever became human Spirit Rings.

Because they were so timid and spent most of their time running away, they hardly ever cultivated. As a result, there were almost no Holy Spirit Cats over a thousand years old; most were only ten or a hundred years old.

Yet this one had cultivated for ten thousand years!

"Maybe it was lucky," Ah Rou said.

She had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and understood better than anyone that strength wasn't what mattered. Surviving was what counted.

The stronger a Soul Beast was, the more inclined it was to fight. Over the course of tens of thousands of years, she had seen far too many powerful Soul Beasts. They had all been capable of cultivating to a hundred thousand years, but their combative natures had led them to die in battle before they could grow that far.

"Then why don't we let it stay with us?" Xiao Wu suggested.

Ah Rou patted Xiao Wu on the head helplessly. "Xiao Wu, Holy Spirit Cats are very timid. They don't even gather with their own kind, let alone stay with us."

"But it didn't run away when I called it just now." Xiao Wu rubbed the cat's belly.

"This Holy Spirit Cat might not be that timid."

"Let's see whether it wants to stay after it wakes up," Ah Rou said.

"Okay." Xiao Wu nodded and carried the unconscious cat back into the house.

"..."

"Why do I feel like such a terrible person?"

Nan Feng's soul floated nearby as he watched how the mother and daughter treated him. The thought of what he was about to do made him feel a little uneasy.

Damn, he really was a terrible person!

Worse than a beast!

After berating himself for a while, Nan Feng turned and flew toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, in Bibi Dong's direction.

At dusk, Bibi Dong and the others concealed their auras and quietly made their way to the spot Nan Feng had given them.

Looking at the two humanoid Soul Beasts before them, Ju Gui couldn't help letting greed flicker in their eyes.

Their Spirit Rings were already full, but a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone...

Before the thought could fully form, they instinctively put a stop to it.

Bibi Dong was now a level ninety-seven Peak Douluo!

And her Second Martial Soul, the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor, still had three slots left. Even if they took both humanoid Soul Beasts, it still wouldn't be enough for her, much less leave anything for them.

"Your Holiness, according to the Soul Hunting Squad, they also saw the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape, nearby. If that thing shows up, things could go wrong," Gui Mei said.

A hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast was at least comparable in strength to a human Titled Douluo above level ninety-five. And this was the Star Dou Forest, the Soul Beasts' territory. If they triggered a Soul Beast frenzy and attracted a horde of ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts, they'd be in danger.

In single combat, a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast was no match for a Titled Douluo. But if they came in a group, even the High Priests would have to run—not just them!

Human Soul Masters weren't as tough-skinned as Soul Beasts. There were plenty of cases where ants had killed an elephant!

"Forget about it. Attack now," Bibi Dong said.

"Those two humanoid Soul Beasts are off guard, and Nan Feng is there. Even if the larger one escapes, the smaller one won't."

"This..." Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged odd looks.

Nan Feng's transformation Spirit Skill really was unreasonable!

If they hadn't already seen it in action many times, they wouldn't have believed such a strange Martial Soul ability existed!

It didn't just change his appearance; it even made his aura identical to a Soul Beast's!

And after Nan Feng transformed into a Soul Beast, its cultivation level rose along with his own Soul Power Level!

At first, Nan Feng could only transform into a hundred-year Soul Beast. Now, he could transform into a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast!
