The Scarlet King Was Scared to Tears
Within Star Lake, Di Tian sighed deeply, slowly stood up, stretched his limbs, and said, "Fine, since it's the Soul Beast Brother Lin wants, I will definitely help you find it."
Although Di Tian was somewhat helpless, he was determined to personally go today to help Lin Yuan capture a 300,000-year-old Soul Beast for the sake of the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Ye Lingling walked over at this moment and asked with some concern, "Teacher, I have only absorbed God-Bestowed Soul Ring before, and it was 100,000 years old. Now, if I absorb Soul Beast that is 300,000 years old... won't I explode and die?"
After all, if Soul Master absorbs Soul Ring that is too powerful for their level, they are likely to be unable to absorb the full power of the Soul Ring and eventually explode and die.
In the Douluo Continent, absorbing Soul Ring beyond one's level is a major taboo, and almost always results in the body exploding and dying.
Because absorbing Soul Ring usually involves bearing the resentment of the Soul Beast, and one could easily become an idiot if not careful, people generally don't try to absorb a Soul Ring that is above their level.
In the original novel, after Tang San level 40, when he went to capture Soul Beast, he did not choose the thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider, which would have been more beneficial to him, but instead chose a ten-thousand-year-old Cave Demon Spider.
It's important to know that after Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast dies, its Soul Shock. For Soul Master, only at level fifty is their mental strength and body fully mature, making it easier to absorb its power.
When Tang San reached level 40, absorbing this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would have meant risking his life. Even with his exceptional talent, absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would have been incredibly difficult for Tang San.
Absorbing Soul Ring of a higher level requires a great deal of physical strength. Tang San's body was only able to barely withstand the impact after being improved by the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
However, Ye Lingling didn't have any Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well nearby, so it was impossible for her to complete the task.
However, Lin Yuan didn't care at all and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm confident that you can absorb it. Besides, you've absorbed the Aromatic Silk Beauty before, so you'll naturally help me."
Ye Lingling didn't say anything more after hearing this, but she was still a little curious. If it weren't for Di Tian, wouldn't her teacher have let her absorb the Scarlet King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone?
Lin Yuan glanced sideways, his gaze lingering on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion beast, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, which was lying on the rock and shrouded in a restriction.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is, after all, a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, and it is not yet able to speak. It can only use its newly grown milk teeth to scare Lin Yuan in front of it.
Seeing that Lin Yuan remained unmoved, the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion shed tears and kept making childish noises.
Lin Yuan leaned against the rock, his fingers twitched slightly, and he snapped his fingers, releasing the restriction on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion tried to escape, but Lin Yuan grabbed him and said with a smile, "You don't need to be so wary. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't let you live here."
"Let me go, you human, let me go!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion struggled incessantly, but in Lin Yuan's hands, it had no chance of escape. It could only lie on the rock, glaring angrily at the human before it.
Lin Yuan slowly walked over, picked up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in front of him, and then moved his fingers slightly, a soft light enveloped its body.
"From this day forward, you shall follow me into the affairs of humankind."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion wanted to resist, but with its strength, it was naturally no match for Lin Yuan, and could only pout reluctantly.
Looking at the Auspicious Beast, Xiao Wu said speechlessly, "You little rascal, don't you know how cruel and ruthless the Soul Master World is? If you get caught, death is all that awaits you."
The Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, pouted and nestled in Xiao Wu's arms, looking somewhat aggrieved and at a loss.
Xiao Wu is, after all, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and she has seen the Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion. This kind of Soul Beast is the Forest Emperor, and its status far exceeds that of Da Ming and Er Ming.
The Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, looked at Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu in front of it, then narrowed its eyes and scrutinized the human from head to toe.
Xiao Wu gently rubbed the head of the Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and said softly, "This is Senior Lin Yuan, not an enemy."
The Auspicious Beast jumped onto Lin Yuan's shoulder, looking at his handsome face with some curiosity. For Xiao Wu to address him as "senior," this human must be incredibly powerful.
Although the Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion is less than 10,000 years old, its wisdom is no less than that of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Moreover, because of the auspicious Auspicious Beast emperor, any Soul Beast that sees it will show a submissive attitude.
Lin Yuan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, looked at the Scarlet King lying on the ground, and said indifferently, "Actually, I'll imprison you and kill you when Zhuqing needs Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring."
The Scarlet King was immediately terrified, his face turning ashen. He exclaimed, "No! You just promised Di Tian you wouldn't kill me. If you kill me, Di Tian will definitely not let you off the hook!"
Lin Yuan slowly walked over, came to the Scarlet King, squatted down, and gently patted the other's head with his right hand.
"You may have forgotten that even Di Tian is no match for me. If I were to kill you here, Di Tian wouldn't have any complaints, after all..."
Seeing the human's ghostly laughter, the Scarlet King trembled with fear. After all, if he really died here, wouldn't all his years of cultivation become a wedding dress for Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing?
The Scarlet King trembled with fear. He wanted to beg for mercy, but given his status, he couldn't speak directly. He could only bring up Di Tian again.
"Since Di Tian can't defeat you, he won't let you kill me. I am Ferocious Beast. If I die, the Soul Beast of this world will surely riot. At that time, countless Ferocious Beasts will rush to enter the human world. This is not what you want to see, is it?"
Lin Yuan patted the Scarlet King's fiery red head and said with a smile, "I don't even care about killing you, do you think I would care about anyone else?"
As expected, upon hearing these words, the Scarlet King was utterly heartbroken. Tears welled in his eyes, and he cried out, begging for mercy, "I was really wrong, I'll never do it again, please don't kill me..."
The Scarlet King, originally the overlord of this land, would not have felt fear even if it meant perishing together with its enemies. But this time, when facing Lin Yuan, it finally knew fear...
The humans before me were utterly appalling, completely unlike any I had ever seen in my years of life.
He never goes back on his word.
Seeing that even the Crimson King, Eighth of the Ferocious Beasts, was crying, the Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, blinked its star-like eyes, unable to believe that the Scarlet King was actually crying.
