The Black Dragon Reverse Scale Is Given to the Auspicious Beast; Three Walk Beneath the Golden Tree
Di Tian raised his right hand, and a jet-black dragon scale emerged from his palm.
The scales weren't large, and they were entirely black, but their surface was faintly shimmering with dark gold patterns. A heavy, suffocating pressure emanated from the scales.
The Black Dragon Reverse Scale.
The hardest scale on Di Tian's body contains his own divine power.
"Take it."
Di Tian presented the Auspicious Beast with his reverse scale.
"Wear it close to your body and do not remove it. The Reverse Scale can suppress your Soul Beast aura, making it difficult for strong humans to see through your true form. At the same time, I can also sense your condition through the Reverse Scale."
The Auspicious Beast received the reverse scale with both hands, its golden eyes immediately lighting up.
"Di Tian!"
When she smiled, a childlike and innocent charm bloomed on her usually aloof and unapproachable face, making her completely different from her usual persona.
"Thank you, Sister Bi Ji!" The Auspicious Beast turned and gave Bi Ji a sweet smile.
Bi Ji smiled slightly and gently touched the golden hair of the Auspicious Beast.
Di Tian withdrew his hand and looked at Bi Ji:
"Bi Ji, I'm entrusting the matter of the Auspicious Beast's birth to you. Arrange her identity and handle all the details."
Bi Ji nodded. "Leave it to me."
Di Tian said no more, and with a flicker of his figure, he transformed into a streak of black light and disappeared into the forest.
The Scarlet King let out a long breath; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
He secretly glared at the Auspicious Beast and muttered under his breath, "Little ancestor, you've really gotten me into serious trouble."
The Auspicious Beast stuck its tongue out at him.
Bi Ji watched the interaction between the two, one big and one small, shook her head, and smiled helplessly.
"Come on, follow me."
Bi Ji waved to the Auspicious Beast.
"Before you go to see that human, you need to learn the rules of the human world. You can't even dress yourself; if you go out like this, you'll probably make a fool of yourself on your very first day."
The Auspicious Beast looked down at the animal skin wrapped around its body, a rare look of embarrassment appearing on its face.
"I... I will learn!"
Bi Ji took her hand and led her deeper into the forest.
The Scarlet King watched their retreating figures and sighed.
That human kid named Dai Huabin first got on the good side with Ice Empress and Snow Empress, and now even Auspicious Beast are running to his side.
What incredible luck!
The following morning.
Shrek Academy Outer Academy Dormitory, first floor.
When Dai Huabin opened his eyes, he heard even breathing beside him.
Zhu Lu was curled up on his right side, her long black hair scattered on the pillow, fast asleep.
The two cultivated together until late last night using the method of Martial Soul Fusion. Zhu Lu's Soul Power was consumed more than his, and she has not yet recovered.
Dai Huabin didn't wake her. He quietly got out of bed, washed up quickly, and changed into his yellow school uniform.
Today's plan is to meditate at the Golden Tree at the Sea God Pavilion.
Electrolux mentioned a few days ago that the sooner you start training there, the better.
After getting dressed, Dai Huabin returned to the bedside and patted Zhu Lu on the shoulder.
"Get up, we're going to the Sea God Pavilion today."
Zhu Lu opened her eyes groggily, her dark pupils not yet fully focused, her whole being in a half-dreaming, half-awake state.
"Hmm... what time is it?"
"Six-thirty."
Zhu Lu rubbed her eyes, sat up quietly, and began folding the blankets. Her movements were slow, clearly not fully awake yet, but her hands didn't falter at all.
Dai Huabin sat at the table waiting for her, casually flipping through the cultivation notes on the table.
"You're coming to Golden Tree with me today." Dai Huabin said without looking up.
Zhu Lu paused, her hand still tidying her hair. "Me too?"
"Mu En has spoken to me; you are also qualified to enter the Sea God Pavilion's training area. The Golden Tree's vitality will also benefit your Ice Shadow Spirit Cat Martial Soul."
Zhu Lu didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and quickened her pace of washing up.
At 7:00 AM sharp, the two left the dormitory and headed towards Sea God Lake.
As soon as I reached the lakeside boardwalk, a familiar figure was already waiting there.
Ma Xiaotao.
Today she wore a dark red fitted outfit with a thin gold belt around her waist, and her fiery red hair was pinned back with a silver hairpin, revealing her slender neck.
The red veil on her face remained unchanged.
She exudes a mature and sophisticated aura.
"You guys are so slow," Ma Xiaotao said, arms crossed, her tone slightly teasing.
Dai Huabin glanced at her. "We agreed on seven o'clock, it's six fifty now."
I arrived at 6:30.
That's your own problem.
Ma Xiaotao choked for a moment and rolled her eyes.
Zhu Lu stood quietly to the side, not participating in their conversation. She was already used to the informal way Ma Xiaotao and Dai Huabin spoke.
Ma Xiaotao led the way, occasionally glancing back at the distance between Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu —they were almost touching.
"Do you two always walk so close together?" Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but ask.
"Is that not allowed?" Zhu Lu asked, unusually.
Ma Xiaotao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Alright, alright, you two can do as you please."
Upon entering Sea God Island and traversing the path, the outline of the Sea God Pavilion comes into view.
Today, Mu En is sitting in that old bamboo chair in the open space in front of the main gate of the Sea God Pavilion, with a pot of tea beside him.
Seeing the three of them arrive together, Mu En's gaze swept between Ma Xiaotao and Dai Huabin, and a "I knew it" expression appeared on his face.
"Mu En," Ma Xiaotao greeted first.
"Hmm." Mu En nodded, looking at Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, "You're here? Are you ready?"
"Ready," Dai Huabin replied.
Mu En stood up and dusted off the bamboo chair. "Xiaotao, take them to the Meditation Room, the third one at the base of the Golden Tree."
"Understood," Ma Xiaotao replied, turning and walking towards the back of the Sea God Pavilion.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu followed.
Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Mu En picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Huabin are getting along more and more naturally, which is a good thing. The suppression of the Evil Fire has established a special trust between them, a relationship that is much stronger than simple classmate friendship.
As for Zhang Lexuan...
Let's talk about it when the Soul Fighting Tournament starts.
After the three arrived at the base of the Golden Tree, a warm and lingering aura appeared. After inhaling it, their meridians felt as if they had been soaked in warm water, allowing them to relax and unwind.
Zhu Lu subconsciously took a deep breath, a comfortable expression appearing on her face.
Ma Xiaotao turned and glanced at her. "Feeling good?"
Zhu Lu nodded.
"Normal reaction. The vitality of the Golden Tree has a miraculous effect on repairing Soul Master's meridians. I looked the same when I first arrived."
Ma Xiaotao pointed to a row of wooden houses on the west side, "That one, the one with the number three carved on the door."
Dai Huabin pushed open the wooden door.
The room wasn't large, about twenty square meters, and it contained not only a futon but also a bed.
Most importantly, the back wall of the stone chamber is tightly attached to a thick root of the Golden Tree, the surface of which gleams with a soft golden light, and the concentration of its vitality is several times higher than that outside.
Dai Huabin glanced around and nodded in satisfaction.
This environment is very good for Elder Yi's recovery, and it's also very good for his potential to learn Light Magic and Martial Soul Evolution.
