Ultimate Wood, Ultimate Fire

Half an hour later.

Three figures passed through layer upon layer of thick tree canopies and finally descended slowly to the ground.

When Chu Feng saw the scene before him, he was also stunned by its beauty.

Before him lay a small lake, one he could see from end to end. Its surface was smooth as a mirror, and its pale green water resembled the most beautiful natural emerald, shimmering with a vibrant green light. Around the lake, towering ancient trees reached straight into the clouds. A faint mist hovered over the water, and the moist air carried the distinctive fragrance of plants as it washed over them.

However, none of that was the point.

The point was that Chu Feng could sense an intense aura of life here. Its vitality was at least several times greater than that of the outside world! It was like the place where life began, as if every living thing in the Star Dou Great Forest had been nurtured here. This place was also imbued with the principles of heaven and earth. It seemed that even the slightest sound would disrupt its peace and beauty.

"Welcome to the paradise of Soul Beasts—the Lake of Life, also known as the Great Ferocious Land to the outer Soul Beasts and humans." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion walked over to Chu Feng, letting out a crisp, silver-bell-like laugh.

Seeing Chu Feng gazing at the lake in a daze, Di Tian wore a hint of pride and satisfaction in his eyes. He slowly explained, "Little fellow, the lake you see is the holiest Water of Life. It has existed for a million years. You could say it gave birth to all life in the Star Dou Great Forest. It is a miracle of the entire Douluo Continent!"

"Indeed. To live in a place with such a rich aura of life must be wonderful~" Chu Feng took a deep breath and smiled faintly.

However, his gaze was fixed on the water below, as if he wanted to see through it. After all, he knew that the Silver Dragon King was healing beneath the Lake of Life. What was more, the lakebed held a vast amount of Life Gold. That was a real treasure...

Just then, Chu Feng sensed several terrifying auras rapidly approaching.

"It really is the Auspicious Beast's aura..."

"A second Auspicious Beast? How is that possible..."

"A Panda? What the hell, that's an Auspicious Beast??"

"What the heck is this thing?"

A series of astonished voices rang out. Chu Feng turned around and saw that four unfamiliar figures had appeared behind Di Tian at some point.

A towering dark golden bear, over ten meters tall, stood there. Its body was covered in thick, dense dark golden fur, and its arms were extraordinarily long, hanging down at its sides. For such a massive creature, its arms reached past its knees. A violent aura radiated from its entire body, yet its gaze toward Chu Feng was full of curiosity.

Beside it stood a scarlet dog with three heads. Scarlet-gold fur bristled across its three enormous heads, each one resembling a lion. It was the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff, the Scarlet King.

Besides them, there was a beautiful giant swan with captivating emerald eyes. She had to be the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji.

The last was a middle-aged man. He was not particularly handsome, and his face was somewhat blue-green. His jade-green eyes shone with an eerie light. He was not especially tall, but he was slender, and his dark green robe fluttered behind him despite the absence of wind. His long hair, the same color, did the same.

This person was Wan Yao Wang, the only plant Soul Beast among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts—the Demon Eye Demon Tree.

Chu Feng was a little astonished to see the four Ferocious Beasts.

He had not expected his appearance to attract the attention of so many big shots.

Any one of them could have stirred up a storm in the outside world, yet now they had all come for him.

Besides his Auspicious Beast bloodline, his luck-granting talent had also played a major role.

Before Chu Feng could recover, the system's prompts rang out again.

[You shocked Xiong Jun. Your strength has increased by 2 times.]

[You shocked Wan Yao Wang. You obtained the "Ultimate Wood Core."]

[You shocked Bi Ji. You obtained a "Human Transformation Card."]

[You shocked the Scarlet King. You obtained the "Ultimate Fire Core."]

[Human Transformation Card: After transformation, cultivation can be converted into Soul Power and Soul Rings, while your bloodline aura is completely concealed.]

The series of prompts left Chu Feng's head spinning. He could barely process them.

The Shock System was far too generous. With all these rewards, even a pig could take off.

The last item, the "Human Transformation Card," was especially important to Chu Feng. After all, Soul Beasts had to start cultivating from scratch after transforming, and the Auspicious Beast was no exception.

With this reward, though, he would be able to increase his strength quickly after transforming.

"Heeheehee~"

"Chu Feng, welcome to our big family~"

"This is Xiong Jun, this is Big Sister Bi Ji, and those are the Scarlet King and Wan Yao Wang~"

Seeing Chu Feng standing dazed, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion assumed he was socially awkward, so she hurried over to introduce everyone.

Chu Feng was dazed for a moment, but quickly came back to himself. He promptly cupped his paws toward Xiong Jun and the others and bowed. "This junior, Chu Feng, pays his respects to you, seniors."

"Hahaha! Little fellow, there's no need to be so polite."

"You have the bloodline of an Auspicious Beast. Your status is no lower than this king's~"

"Besides, you carry the bloodline of my clan. You and I are clearly fated~"

At that, Xiong Jun burst into loud laughter, the terrifying sound waves making the air tremble.

At first glance, Chu Feng had seemed almost unbelievable to him. Who could have imagined that the Panda clan would give birth to an Auspicious Beast?

But since the other party really was an Auspicious Beast, of course he had to build a good relationship with him. After all, an Auspicious Beast could greatly help him break through his lifespan limit in the future.

"Damn, Xiong Jun, have you no shame? How are you even claiming he's from your clan???"

The Scarlet King was astonished by Xiong Jun's shamelessness and looked at him with utter disdain.

"How is he not from my clan? A Panda is a bear, and a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a bear. We both have bear blood in our veins, so what's wrong with that?" Xiong Jun argued loudly.

"You—" The Scarlet King was left speechless. He had never seen such a shameless bear.

"Enough, stop arguing. You'll scare him."

"The little fellow is quite cute~"

Bi Ji smiled as she broke up the argument. Chu Feng's Cute Act talent had caught her attention, and her gaze was full of affection. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

Wan Yao Wang also watched Chu Feng with his dark green eyes, feeling quite fond of him.

At that moment, Di Tian slowly rose to his feet and spoke. "Everyone, the appearance of two Auspicious Beasts among the Soul Beast Clan heralds our imminent rise! From now on, Chu Feng's status is equal to ours, and he will enjoy the same treatment as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"

"Understood!"

At his words, Xiong Jun and the others were all fired up!

With the blessings of two Auspicious Beasts, the fortune of the entire Star Dou Great Forest would reach unimaginable heights. It would greatly help both the cultivation of Soul Beasts and their efforts to break through their lifespan limits!

The rise of the Soul Beasts was just around the corner!

And so, Chu Feng successfully joined the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, officially earning the recognition and protection of all the Soul Beasts.
