The Indomitable Soul Tyrannosaurus Kneels

In the medical district of the Spirit Pagoda, inside a luxurious single-occupancy ward.

Cheng Duoyi leaned against the headboard, holding a thick book and reading quietly.

A month had passed since his Martial Soul awakening.

Throughout this month, Leng Yaozhu had accompanied Cheng Duoyi every single day.

She had sought out numerous healing-type Spirit Masters and even mobilized the resources of the Spirit Pagoda, promising a one-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Soul as a reward to anyone who could find a way to cure Cheng Duoyi, but all to no avail.

Every healing-type Spirit Master said the same thing as Life Douluo: Cheng Duoyi's life force was still slowly slipping away, and they were powerless to stop it.

The best course of action now was simply to avoid cultivation.

Although Leng Yaozhu was unwilling to accept this, she had no choice but to face the reality.

She provided Cheng Duoyi with the best living conditions and would give him any rare treasures she found that could replenish life force, all in the hope of boosting his vitality.

"Yiyi, what are you reading?"

Leng Yaozhu pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a bowl of steaming medicinal soup.

She was wearing white casual clothes today, which made her look a little less overbearing than usual and a bit more gentle.

"Godmother." Cheng Duoyi looked up, set down his book, and said softly, "I'm reading about Spirit Beasts."

"What's so interesting about Spirit Beasts?" Leng Yaozhu walked to the bedside and handed him the soup. "Come, drink your medicine. I specifically had Life Douluo prepare this for you; it can replenish your life force."

Cheng Duoyi took the soup, wrinkled his little nose, but still drank it obediently.

The medicine was very bitter, but there wasn't a hint of distaste on his face.

"Such a good boy." Leng Yaozhu smiled and patted his head, then took out a piece of candy and popped it into his mouth.

Cheng Duoyi held the candy in his mouth, looked out the window, and whispered, "Godmother, I want to go see the Spirit Ascension Platform."

"No!" Leng Yaozhu refused without a second thought. "The Spirit Ascension Platform is too dangerous. Your body is so weak, you can't go to a place like that."

"I'm not going there to fight." Cheng Duoyi lowered his head, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance. "I just want to see what the Star Dou Great Forest looked like. The books say that twenty thousand years ago, the Star Dou Great Forest was the largest Spirit Beast forest, home to a vast number of Spirit Beasts..."

He looked up, his large, watery eyes fixed on Leng Yaozhu, filled with longing. "Godmother, I'll just go take a look, walk around a bit, and then come back, okay? I promise I won't run off."

Seeing him looking so pitiful, Leng Yaozhu's heart softened instantly.

She sighed and said helplessly, "You, I really can't do anything with you. Fine, Godmother will take you. But you must promise me that you will stay by my side every step of the way, understand?"

"Mm!" Cheng Duoyi nodded vigorously, a happy smile appearing on his face.

Leng Yaozhu watched his smile, and she felt happy as well.

Half an hour later, Leng Yaozhu brought Cheng Duoyi to the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform.

The Spirit Ascension Platform was one of the greatest inventions of the Spirit Pagoda; it was a massive virtual world that simulated the various environments and Spirit Beasts of the Douluo Continent. Spirit Masters could hunt Spirit Beasts inside to increase the age of their Spirit Souls without facing any real-life danger.

Of course, that was only for ordinary Spirit Masters; there were some extremely dangerous existences within the Spirit Ascension Platform, such as the Indomitable Soul Spirits.

Indomitable Soul Spirits were the most unique type of Spirit Soul in the Spirit Pagoda. They were usually extremely powerful, but because they were overly proud and unruly, they were very difficult to tame or absorb. If a Spirit Master attempted to do so without sufficient strength, they would suffer mental trauma at best, or risk their lives at worst.

Leng Yaozhu led Cheng Duoyi into the metal pod of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

She specifically chose the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform because the Spirit Beasts inside were relatively weak and safer.

Her reason for not choosing the primary Spirit Ascension Platform was simple: the entry limit for the primary platform was four rings. While it wasn't impossible for her to force her way in, the potential consequence could be a malfunction of the primary platform, which would be more trouble than it was worth. It was better to just enter the intermediate one.

With a flash of light, the two appeared in the middle of a dense forest.

Fresh air rushed toward them, carrying the unique scent of soil and vegetation. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground. In the distance, the chirping of birds and the sound of a babbling brook could be heard.

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

Cheng Duoyi's eyes widened, his face filled with pleasant surprise.

He reached out his small hand to gently touch the tree trunk beside him, his eyes full of curiosity.

Leng Yaozhu followed by his side, staying alert to the movements around them.

Her spiritual power was fully released, covering a radius of several thousand meters; not even the slightest rustle could escape her perception.

"Yiyi, walk slowly, watch your step," she reminded him.

"Mm."

Cheng Duoyi nodded and continued walking forward.

He was like a child stepping out of his home for the first time, full of interest in everything around him.

Just then, Leng Yaozhu's expression suddenly changed.

She pulled Cheng Duoyi behind her, her eyes turning sharp.

"Careful! A Spirit Soul is coming!"

An extremely powerful pressure surged from the depths of the forest—it was the pressure of a top-tier predator, filled with brutality and ferocity.

The ground began to tremble slightly, and accompanied by heavy footsteps, a massive figure emerged from the depths of the forest.

It was a Tyrant Dragon!

It stood over sixty meters tall, resembling a small mountain, its entire body covered in irregularly shaped gray scales.

Its thick, sturdy limbs were like pillars; with every step it took, it left a deep footprint in the ground.

Its head was massive, accounting for a quarter of its body, and its mouth was filled with razor-sharp teeth, a pair of blood-red eyes staring fixedly at Leng Yaozhu and Cheng Duoyi.

"Indomitable Soul Tyrannosaurus!" Leng Yaozhu exclaimed in surprise.

She recognized this Tyrannosaurus.

It was one of the most famous Indomitable Soul Beasts in the Spirit Pagoda, possessing a trace of Golden Dragon King bloodline; although it only had ten thousand years of cultivation, its strength was comparable to an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Its temperament was extremely violent and ferocious, and the Spirit Pagoda had attempted to tame it many times, only to fail each time; several Spirit Douluo-level soul masters had even been killed by its backlash while attempting to absorb it.

"Duoyi, hide behind your godmother and don't move."

Leng Yaozhu said in a low voice, her aura beginning to rise.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red—nine soul rings appeared as she prepared to strike and drive this Tyrannosaurus away.

Although it was an Indomitable Soul Beast, it was still not enough to challenge her, a level 98 Super Douluo.

However, just as Leng Yaozhu was about to launch her attack, something unexpected happened.

The Tyrannosaurus, which had been aggressive and filled with a violent aura, suddenly stopped in its tracks the moment it saw Cheng Duoyi.

The violent aura in its blood-red eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by an expression of incredible awe and worship, as clear as a college student's.

Following that, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

The massive Tyrannosaurus actually lowered its body slowly.

It knelt its forelimbs on the ground, its huge head bowing deeply as it performed the most devout kowtow in the direction of Cheng Duoyi.
