"Rumble—"
Chu Feng waited for half a quarter of an hour before he felt an incredibly terrifying aura rapidly sweeping toward him.
The next moment.
The originally bright sky suddenly turned pitch black! It was as if some terrifying existence was about to descend; all the soul beasts within a radius of several dozen miles prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The next moment, a violent gale suddenly erupted in the already restless dense forest, and the terrifying hurricane instantly shredded all the towering trees within a radius of several hundred meters.
In the blink of an eye, a massive clearing was carved out.
Only Chu Feng, a lone bear, sat in the center of the clearing.
On the ground, a massive shadow shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chu Feng slowly raised his head, and then he saw a black dragon over a hundred meters long appear within his field of vision.
The giant dragon lowered its head, its golden eyes fixed on Chu Feng.
The next moment, it folded its wings and plummeted like a meteorite...
"Boom—"
As the black dragon landed, the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to shudder; the power was truly terrifying.
And perched on the black dragon's shoulder was a small soul beast with golden fur.
The small golden beast was three meters long, its entire body appearing like translucent crystal, filled with a strange texture. Its overall form resembled a lion, but its four claws were like those of a dragon, with each dragon claw stepping on a cluster of golden flames. Its mouth was also longer than that of a typical lion-type soul beast, and beneath its fur, there seemed to be fine, dense golden scales.
In addition to its normal eyes, there was a third eye, though it was a vertical slit. While its two normal eyes shimmered with gold, the vertical eye emitted a red light—a somewhat eerie red.
Looking at the two figures before him, Chu Feng recognized their identities at a glance: Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
Both looked majestic, but anyone who had read the original work knew just how tragic these two were.
There was no need to mention the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was schemed against until its death.
As for Di Tian, it was much the same.
In Chu Feng's view, Di Tian was a pure loser, a tool, and a super sycophant.
From the very beginning of Douluo Continent, this unlucky fellow plotted to become a god, only to be toyed with until his death in the end, serving as a stepping stone for the protagonist.
In the second installment, he became a tool for Huo Yuhao, not only blocking blades for him but even blocking blades for Huo Yuhao's pet... and it seemed to be the same in the third.
Da Ming and Er Ming spent a whole book working for someone, but at least they were resurrected in the end. Di Tian worked for several books, gained nothing, and even lost his life; it was no exaggeration to call him the biggest loser in Douluo Continent.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng offered a moment of silence for Di Tian—0.00001 seconds.
While Chu Feng was sizing up Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the latter were also sizing up Chu Feng.
However, when they discovered that Chu Feng was a black-and-white bear, they all wore strange expressions.
"A Beast of Auspice... and it's actually a black-and-white bear..."
"This... how is this different from what I imagined..."
Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion muttered to themselves, both looking somewhat bewildered.
Generally speaking, Beasts of Auspice were born from the convergence of the world's fortune; although their strength might not be high, their bloodlines were absolutely top-tier.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion possessed the Golden Dragon bloodline, and even if it weren't a Beast of Auspice, it would still be a top-class bloodline.
Yet, this newly appeared Beast of Auspice before them actually had the most ordinary black-and-white bear bloodline. Was it really that bizarre?
[You shocked Di Tian, you obtained the body-tempering technique God and Demon Body Tempering Art] [You shocked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, you obtained the technique Star Contemplation Method]
Just then, the system notification arrived, making Chu Feng feel a surge of joy.
In this trashy Douluo Continent, a martial arts technique like Mysterious Heaven Skill could exert such great effect; now that he had these two techniques, which would be considered powerful even in top-tier fantasy worlds, wouldn't he be directly invincible?
The God and Demon Body Tempering Art was a body-refining technique, and its effects might be weakened due to the thinness of the world's energy and the rarity of heavenly treasures in Douluo Continent.
But the Star Contemplation Method was a technique for cultivating spiritual power; as long as he practiced diligently, staring someone to death with a single glance wouldn't be a problem.
It was worthy of being the "Second Shock System"—it was countless times more generous than the "First Survival System."
However, Chu Feng had no time to cultivate right now; blending into the core circle of soul beasts was the most important thing.
"Hello there~ I am the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and like you, I am also a Beast of Auspice~"
After observing for a moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion jumped off Di Tian's shoulder and slowly walked in front of Chu Feng. A crisp, melodious female voice entered Chu Feng's ears, instantly making him feel refreshed and delighted.
Although he wasn't a voice-control enthusiast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's ethereal and pleasant voice truly made him unable to resist.
"Hello, my name is Chu Feng, and my species is a black-and-white bear~" Chu Feng extended his chubby paw and smiled somewhat awkwardly. After all, he was still used to his human form; this black-and-white bear appearance was truly a bit comical.
"Ah, your name is Chu Feng..."
"How can you have a name!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was startled upon hearing the name Chu Feng.
After all, as a unique lifeform birthed by the heavens and earth, it had no parents and naturally no name.
Di Tian and the others had certainly given it plenty of names, but it felt they were all hopeless at naming, coming up with trash like "Little Gold," "Little Rui," and "Little Three."
That Chu Feng actually possessed such a pleasant-sounding name made the beast quite envious.
"I gave myself this name."
"I have had contact with humans and learned some of their knowledge."
Chu Feng casually fabricated a lie.
"Where do you come from?"
"I can sense your cultivation; it is already no weaker than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Why have I never seen you before?" Di Tian walked over slowly, remaining extremely vigilant.
Although even he could not discern any flaws in the black-and-white bear before him, he felt that this was the greatest flaw of all.
He had witnessed the birth of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with his own eyes, but this black-and-white bear that had suddenly appeared was truly too bizarre.
The other party possessed a hundred thousand years of cultivation, which logically meant it had lived for at least ten thousand years. Yet, he had lived in this Star Dou Great Forest for hundreds of thousands of years and had never once discovered this black-and-white bear.
Never mind a black-and-white bear with a hundred thousand years of cultivation; for a soul beast with such a low-tier bloodline, having even ten thousand years of cultivation would be considered a stroke of incredible luck.
He would rather believe this was the latest soul guidance technology from human soul masters, deliberately manufactured to resemble a beast of auspicious omen, all to get close to them or even to harm the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and uproot the foundation of their soul beasts.
At this thought, the gaze Di Tian directed at Chu Feng turned unkind, his dark golden pupils radiating a soul-shaking golden glow.
"Di Tian!!"
"What are you trying to do!!"
"Chu Feng is my friend, he has no ill intent! You are not allowed to bully him!"
Seeing Di Tian's unusual behavior, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was immediately displeased. It glared at Di Tian indignantly, baring its little tiger teeth in a display of milky ferocity.
It had finally met one of its own kind; how could it possibly let Di Tian bully Chu Feng!
Although it did not know where Chu Feng came from, it was absolutely certain that Chu Feng was indeed a beast of auspicious omen and held no malice toward it or the soul beasts.
That was enough!
"Senior Di Tian, I am indeed not a soul beast from this Star Dou Great Forest, but from elsewhere. As for exactly where, you wouldn't know even if I told you," Chu Feng explained indifferently.
Upon hearing Chu Feng's explanation, a look of contemplation flashed through Di Tian's golden eyes, and his hostility and vigilance toward Chu Feng diminished significantly.
After all, since the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had said as much, the other party likely harbored no malice.
As for his origins, they would find out sooner or later.
"Chu Feng, don't mind Di Tian~ Let me take you to the Lake of Life first. That is our base camp, and there are no human threats there; it is very safe!" Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't wait to extend an invitation.
It was terrified that Chu Feng might be scared off by that bastard Di Tian. Having finally found one of its own kind, it was determined to keep Chu Feng here no matter what.
Moreover, Chu Feng seemed to have had contact with humans. Although it had lived for so long and seen human soul masters, it had never actually interacted with them.
It was very curious about the human world. However, Di Tian, Scarlet King, and the others never spoke to it about the outside world and always emphasized the dangers of the human world, which left it feeling very depressed.
"Fine."
Chu Feng nodded and agreed.
