After hearing Gu Yuena's words, Shangguan Li asked in confusion, "Why do you have this guarantee? I'm not certain. Besides, you said you have a way to fuse the Golden Dragon King Bloodline into me-why don't you fuse it yourself?"
Gu Yuena said, "That is because you are a human, which is why I have a way to help you."
Shangguan Li wore a puzzled expression, and Gu Yuena continued, "There is a special type of soul beast in our Star Dou Great Forest called the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. He is a divine beast known as the Auspicious Beast. He is extremely precious to the Star Dou Great Forest, not only because he possesses the power of auspiciousness and destiny, but even more so because he possesses the Golden Dragon King Bloodline."
"Then you wouldn't have me absorb this soul ring, would you? That's impossible." Shangguan Li directly rejected Gu Yuena's proposal. If it required taking the Auspicious Beast's life to obtain the bloodline power, then she did not want it.
Gu Yuena sighed. "Listen to me finish first. This Auspicious Beast is not the only one of its kind. Before this one was born, there was another Auspicious Beast that died, and it left behind a soul bone. If you absorb this soul bone, you might have a chance to obtain the Golden Dragon King Bloodline."
"Are you serious?" Shangguan Li knew the importance of the Auspicious Beast, and the soul bone left behind by an Auspicious Beast was an exceptionally fine item. In Douluo II, Huo Yuhao's head soul bone was the sacrifice of the contemporary Auspicious Beast; despite only having fifteen thousand years of cultivation, its strength was equal to that of a hundred thousand year soul bone.
Gu Yuena also nodded seriously. After all, the Heart of the Dragon God was simply too important to Gu Yuena and the Soul Beast Clan; she could sacrifice everything except her life.
Shangguan Li pondered for a moment. "Alright then, when are we going to get the soul bone?"
"Now." Gu Yuena was exceptionally resolute. After all, she would not feel at ease until the Heart of the Dragon God was in her own hands.
Shangguan Li said, "But not right now. I still have things to do. By the way, Silver Dragon King, I wonder if you've noticed that the Douluo Continent has become a bit different."
"How is it different? It's still you soul masters coming to hunt us soul beasts." Gu Yuena sneered, but this was the rule on the Douluo Continent, and she was powerless to change it.
Shangguan Li said very seriously, "Yet in reality, it truly is somewhat different. Perhaps because you only just emerged from seclusion, you haven't sensed it yet-an extremely dangerous entity has appeared on the Douluo Continent. If he is allowed to continue developing, the Douluo Continent will be in danger."
Gu Yuena wore an indifferent expression. "What danger could mere humans possibly pose? You aren't just saying this to break our agreement, are you?"
"I have no reason to deceive you. Why don't you come with me and take a look?"
Gu Yuena looked entirely unwilling. "I won't go to Spirit City. There are far too many human soul masters there, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help unleashing a massacre."
Seeing an unwilling Gu Yuena, Shangguan Li said firmly, "Don't forget, the initiative in this transaction still lies with me. If you still want to continue this transaction with me, move out together with me."
Driven by the desire to obtain the Heart of the Dragon God, Gu Yuena could only compromise once again, and Shangguan Li also said gently, "Rest assured, I'll take you to see him tonight. I know you don't like crowded places."
"That's more like it."
Gu Yuena followed Shangguan Li into Spirit City. This was Gu Yuena's first time coming to a human town, and she discovered many novel items, yet because of her identity, it was inconvenient for her to ask questions everywhere.
Shangguan Li brought Gu Yuena back to their inn in Spirit City, and at that moment, Shaohua, who had finished watching the matches, also returned.
"Who is this?" Seeing that Shangguan Li had brought back an peerless beauty, Shaohua asked with a curious expression.
Shangguan Li said, "Since you don't know each other, let me make introductions. This is the Soul Beast Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, and this is my close friend Shaohua."
Shaohua was shocked. This person actually turned out to be the Silver Dragon King, yet she still faced her calmly. "Hello, Gu Yuena."
Gu Yuena merely nodded to acknowledge her. This woman was truly too cold and aloof, simply enough to drive a person mad.
Shangguan Li asked, "Shaohua, did you notice anything while watching the matches today?"
"Actually, I did make a discovery. Today in the match, Tang Sam used the Clear Sky Hammer Tool Soul True Body. Several Titled Douluo present didn't spot his abnormality at all, but I saw it. His Tool Soul True Body should have been dark gold, yet his dark gold was leaking wisps of black qi."
Shangguan Li said, "Then, as expected, it's Tang San."
Shaohua shook her head. "Yes and no. Although Tang San has Wuxie's aura, it isn't strong at all; we still need to observe further."
"This Wuxie is..." From just a moment ago, Gu Yuena had been very concerned. "Their strength isn't weak either-why are they so wary of that person?"
After Shaohua also explained Wuxie's power to Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena was equally shocked. She had not expected such formidable humans to exist.
Gu Yuena said, "If we speak of searching for the possessed host, they might be in the Divine Realm. After all, one of the reasons I came out of seclusion was because the Divine Realm was in turmoil, making it impossible to trace my movements."
Shangguan Li said, "We have also suspected the Divine Realm, but we cannot lower our guard right now. Now we have already allied with Spirit Hall; once this Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament concludes, the soul masters of the entire continent will mobilize to search for evil soul masters."
"I don't care when you take action, but our transaction must proceed as soon as possible."
Shangguan Li was left speechless. Wuxie's existence threatened the entire Douluo Continent, yet Gu Yuena didn't care about the continent's crisis. Could it be that she didn't care about her own race at all?
In truth, Gu Yuena's thoughts were completely opposite to Shangguan Li's. As the half-body of the Dragon God, Gu Yuena possessed the memories of the Dragon God and her knowledge was no less than anyone else's. After hearing Shaohua's words, she instantly understood that this Wuxie was a deeply troublesome existence.
Thus, Gu Yuena wanted to retrieve the Heart of the Dragon God as quickly as possible to enhance her own strength so that she could find this Wuxie entity all the sooner and protect her own race.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the students collapsed on the ground, practically beside himself with frustration. They had clearly all used their Tool Soul True Bodies, so how could they still lose?
While everyone else was sinking into depression, two people weren't particularly depressed. One was Dai Mubai, because defeating his brother Dai Weisi was enough for him. The other was Xiao Wu, because she had already discovered who her mother's killer was, making winning or losing the match a matter of complete indifference to her.
Tang San knew that the one at fault in this match was Ma Hongjun, so he kept his gaze fixed squarely on Ma Hongjun. "Fatty, what's wrong with you?"
Ma Hongjun also wore a guilty expression. "I'm very sorry, everyone-Third Brother, I don't know what happened either. As soon as I came into contact with that red mist, my whole mind became muddled, and my evil fire was also stirred up, so I..."
There was no need to speak the rest of the words; everyone also knew why Ma Hongjun had broken away from the formation.
Tang San pondered for a moment and continued, "That red mist was released by Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Hu Liena's martial soul possesses charm abilities. It's possible the Fatty couldn't withstand Hu Liena's charm, and therefore..."
Although Tang San found an excuse for Ma Hongjun, everyone was looking at him with resentful gazes. Ma Hongjun also knew that it was his own mistake which caused the match to be lost, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
