This is the ultimate sleeper stock I've been looking for!
Following a big brother like this, the future is absolutely limitless!
The next second.
A scene that made everyone's jaws drop unfolded.
The Auspicious Beast, which had just been toying with Red Hair and the others, aloof and arrogant beyond belief, suddenly retracted all its sharpness.
A layer of mist actually formed in its golden eyes, filled with fawning and intimacy.
"Baa~"
Bai Ze let out a soft, sweet cry, its four hooves trotting joyfully, like a husky that had spotted its owner, scampering toward Su Yun with eager steps.
Su Yun was also stunned, the flash grenade in his hand forgotten.
"This..."
Before he could react, Bai Ze had already rushed to his front.
It used its furry head, adorned with small antlers, to rub extremely docilely and sycophantically against Su Yun's pant leg.
After rubbing, it seemed to feel that wasn't enough to express its sincerity.
It simply bent its hind legs, softened its front legs, and flopped down right at Su Yun's feet, rolling over to expose its softest, snow-white belly, looking up at Su Yun with an expectant expression.
Hurry! Pet me! Ruffle me! Don't hold back!
The entire scene fell dead silent.
Red Hair, clutching his bleeding nose, looked like his eyes were about to pop out: "God... godfather, this sheep... how does it change faces like that? Wasn't it just being tough a moment ago?"
Tang San was even more shocked beyond words.
An Auspicious Beast is spiritual; it does not attach itself to one without great fortune, nor does it appear in an age without a sage.
This Bai Ze...
Was voluntarily submitting to Su Yun?
And in such a fawning posture at that?
Brother Su... what kind of existence will he become in the future?
Su Yun looked down at this divine beast, which was frantically acting cute and begging for affection at his feet, pushed up his sunglasses, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He crouched down, tentatively reached out, and touched Bai Ze's smooth fur.
Bai Ze immediately let out a comfortable purring sound, even actively pushing its head into Su Yun's palm, looking utterly blissful.
"Alright."
Su Yun sighed, and like kneading dough, he gave Bai Ze's furry head a firm rub.
"Since you're this smart and know how to act cute, you can follow me from now on. Just so happens, I'm short a flashy mascot."
Hearing these words, Bai Ze's tense nerves finally relaxed.
It let out an extremely contented hum, even using its barbed tongue to lick Su Yun's palm fawningly, its loyal dog demeanor leaving Red Hair and the others utterly bewildered.
However, this warm atmosphere didn't last long.
The sound of footsteps broke the harmony.
Yu Xiaogang walked up.
He looked at this overly docile little beast, his eyes filled with scrutiny and calculation.
"Su Yun..."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was a bit hoarse.
"This soul beast is pure white all over, with eyes like blazing gold, and it contains an extremely terrifying yet pure Soul Power within. This should be an extremely rare mutated soul beast."
Grandmaster pointed at the Star Gate Martial Soul behind Su Yun, which, though its light had dimmed, was still in a standby state, and spoke seriously.
"Your Soul Power has reached the bottleneck of the tenth rank. On this Douluo Continent, the rule is ironclad: without a Soul Ring, there is no advancement."
"Your martial soul is of the space attribute. And the power contained in this mutated soul beast can precisely stabilize your martial soul, possibly even bringing a qualitative leap."
Saying this, a trace of fervor flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes—the craving for the validation of a perfect theory.
"Su Yun, you're a smart man. You should know that in this world of the strong preying on the weak, a pet that can act cute is far less practical than a top-tier Soul Ring."
"Kill it. This is a tailor-made opportunity for you."
Grandmaster's words were cruel, but they were the bloody truth of this world.
On Douluo Continent, the law between man and beast was that simple and brutal.
The air instantly solidified.
Tang San stood to the side, looking at the spiritual little beast. Though a trace of reluctance stirred in his heart, he was equally filled with anticipation.
If it were him, to break through the bottleneck, no matter how cute or human-like this beast was, he would not hesitate to swing the blade.
Only the power grasped in one's own hands was real.
Su Yun's hand paused on Bai Ze's tender antlers.
Behind his sunglasses, his gaze flickered slightly.
Bai Ze, lying at his feet, keenly sensed the killing intent from that Grandmaster.
Bai Ze panicked.
His clever little mind spun at lightning speed.
It's over, it's over!
This old geezer is too wicked!
He's actually egging the boss on to kill me!
In this broken plane, if I don't die, he can't level up.
No way!
I can't die!
I just latched onto this big shot, and I haven't even taken off yet!
But I can't leave the big shot either!
I have to find a way that satisfies both sides!
One that lets the boss get stronger while keeping my little life safe!
WOOOOM—!!
Cornered, Bai Ze's golden vertical pupils blazed up instantly.
It was his life essence boiling over, burning his own lifespan to activate his innate skill.
Foresight of the Future!
This time, he frantically began to scour the future evolution of this Douluo Continent.
His consciousness was like a fish swimming upstream, recklessly crashing against the river of time, trying to find a solution for coexistence between humans and beasts in the history yet to come.
Five thousand years later...
Still nothing!
Still killing!
Eight thousand years later...
The soul beasts are almost wiped out!
These humans are too ruthless!
Further!
Look further!
I refuse to believe this Heavenly Dao is a dead end!
Ten thousand years!
Bai Ze's body trembled violently, two streams of golden blood flowing from his nostrils, looking utterly miserable.
But his eyes suddenly lit up.
He saw it!
He saw that person!
Ten thousand years in the future, an old man from another plane, calling himself the Holy Necromancer, created a great contract called the Soul Spirit!
But that original version required an extremely high mental threshold and specific necromantic guidance!
The boss is a tech guy; he can't learn that now!
"Not enough! It's not simplified enough! I need a foolproof version! I need something anyone with hands can use!"
Bai Ze roared wildly in his sea of consciousness, blood now streaming from all seven orifices, his very soul burning, but he didn't stop.
Twenty thousand years! Thirty thousand years!
Bai Ze's consciousness broke through the barriers of the era, seeing the interstellar age where steel torrents danced with soul beasts!
There, the technique had been refined, optimized, and iterated by countless generations, finally shedding all its obscure shells!
He saw it!
He stripped away the dust of history and grabbed the final, universally simplified version that had been verified over tens of thousands of years!
In this version, there were no complex incantations, no grand altars—everything returned to the most fundamental logic.
The ritual wasn't complicated; the core was only eight words: mutual recognition, form a contract.
No third-party medium was needed, just a meeting of minds between the human soul master and the soul beast, with blood as the bond.
The soul beast's spiritual imprint would then actively begin to transform, carrying its own essence to merge into the soul master's body.
This is it! This is the final revised version that even an elementary school student could understand!
This is the perfect plan that lets me avoid death and gets the boss up to speed immediately!
Boss! Don't strike!
This little one has brought you the perfect answer from tens of thousands of years in the future!!
Bai Ze's eyes snapped open. Without bothering to wipe the blood from its nose, it launched itself off the ground like a spring.
Like a small white cannonball, it slammed its forehead straight into Su Yun's brow!
