The Soul Beast Clan's Past, Present, and Future Rest on Gu Yue's Shoulders; Buying a Soul Spirit; An Evil Soul Master Appears

At Gu Yue's sharp rebuke, a crack appeared in the thick cliffs of her Soul Sea of Consciousness.

Gu Yue sensed the spiritual mark she had left behind.

"Whoosh!"

Using the spiritual mark, she instantly appeared beside Di Tian.

However, her image was faint and weak.

Gu Yue quickly scanned the area around Di Tian. Good, all her loyal Ferocious Beasts were there.

Di Tian, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bi Ji, and the others were all cultivating diligently.

Xiong Jun?

Xiong Jun was asleep!

The Soul Beast Clan had dwindled to this state, and Xiong Jun could still sleep?

Gu Yue decided she ought to learn from Xiong Jun.

The Soul Beast Clan's past, present, and future all rested on her shoulders!

The pressure was immense.

If she could learn from Xiong Jun how to handle it, she might relax and ease the pressure. That would be a good thing for her.

But there was no time.

Gu Yue clearly sensed that the crack she had managed to force open was closing.

Time was short.

The task was heavy.

Gu Yue was in action.

"Di Tian, Di Tian!" Gu Yue called.

Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, who had been cultivating, sensed as if his great-grandmother were calling him.

Di Tian's eyes snapped open.

Great-grandmother? My lord?

No, this was his lord.

Di Tian was astonished. It was actually his lord.

"My lord, what brings you here?" Di Tian wondered.

According to the grand plan his lord had set out—three years to establish a foothold, five years to advance deep into enemy territory, and ten years to overturn everything—his lord was not supposed to meet up with them at this point.

At this time, his lord was meant to be training alone.

Had something happened?

At Di Tian's words, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bi Ji, and the others also opened their eyes and stopped cultivating.

They were just as puzzled by the arrival of their great lord, the Silver Dragon King.

As for Xiong Jun?

Oh, Xiong Jun was fast asleep.

Gu Yue had so much she wanted to tell them.

But there really wasn't time.

"Aolai! Come at once!"

"Poof!"

Gu Yue's image crumbled where she stood, and her spirit was pulled back into her Soul Sea of Consciousness.

The cliff in her sea of consciousness left not the slightest crack.

Gu Yue tried again to cast the secret communication spell.

The cliff in her sea of consciousness did not budge.

It was as if the cliff had already weathered a virus attack.

Gu Yue's second spell was like a second attack. Before it could do any damage, the cliff in her sea of consciousness had already wiped it out.

Looking at the impregnable cliff, she cursed furiously. "Gugugaga!"

Dawn came.

Gu Yue rested.

Na'er woke.

Na'er stretched luxuriously as sunlight fell across her face.

She had dreamed again last night.

In the dream, it was the same girl, saying the Soul Beast Clan's past, present, and future rested on her shoulders.

The girl had angrily demanded to know why Na'er wouldn't let her out!

Was there any justice in this world?

Was there any law?

Na'er didn't understand.

Dreams were strange.

Whatever.

Time to hammer, time to hammer! Na'er happily went off to work at the forge.

Time for school, time for school.

Li Luo didn't go to school.

He took out his Soul Guidance Communicator. "Hello, Teacher Lin. It's Li Luo. I'd like to ask for the morning off."

"Oh, it's nothing much. My Soul Power Level has just stabilized at level ten."

"I want to visit the Spirit Pagoda today and see if there's a suitable Soul Spirit."

"What? Teacher Lin, you're asking if you should come with me? No, no, there's no need. You have class, and I can't keep you from teaching."

"Right, right. If I find a suitable Soul Spirit, I'll have the Spirit Pagoda issue an invoice. Then I'll contact Principal Gao directly and ask him to help me file for reimbursement."

After ending the call, Li Luo headed to the Spirit Pagoda.

The city center.

The Aolai City Spirit Pagoda.

A tower-shaped building, three stories high.

Three months ago, the Spirit Pagoda had awakened his Martial Soul for free in recognition of his service. He had awakened the Rainbow Dragon King Martial Soul.

Since no Soul Power had been detected at the time, the trainee Spirit Transmitter responsible for his awakening, Master Su Xiaotao, had relied on his ancestral knack for making snap judgments and concluded that Li Luo had no talent as a Soul Master.

He was incapable of cultivation.

Naturally, Li Luo hadn't believed him.

The Blue Star Transmigrator Army held infinite possibilities beyond Master Su Xiaotao's understanding.

Then he had met Na'er.

The Silver Dragon's Kiss had activated the Rainbow Dragon King Martial Soul.

Soul Power had formed within his body.

At first, he'd had only three levels.

But with Na'er's aura accompanying him, his cultivation had progressed quickly.

On top of that, he'd been lucky enough to absorb a streak of rainbow.

His Soul Power Level—

It had already reached the requirement for absorbing a Soul Spirit.

Li Luo had arrived quite early that day.

The Spirit Pagoda's staff began arriving one after another.

Su Xiaotao hurried along, munching on a bun and fretting. "Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be late."

"They'll dock a day's pay."

"How many fewer food deliveries will I be able to order for Qianqian?"

"If I order fewer, can I still call myself a king?"

"Of course not."

"I'll end up with the same title as my ancestor: a glorious lone wolf."

Just then,

He spotted Li Luo already in the lobby.

He had a strong impression of Li Luo. After all, Li Luo's appearance was truly astonishing.

Su Xiaotao had often lamented that if he had Li Luo's looks, he'd surely become a playboy.

No, wait!

Let's start over.

If he had Li Luo's peerless looks, he'd surely become the king of playboys.

A playboy's fighter jet, for short.

His only regret had been that Li Luo couldn't cultivate.

But a few days ago, while on a date with Xixi,

Xixi had shown him a post on the City Circle.

Good heavens.

In the picture, Li Luo looked like an Immortal, and his Soul Power was a full level ten.

Compared to the zero Soul Power he'd measured three months earlier,

Li Luo's Soul Power was endless.

It really was endless.

But Master Su Xiaotao still had a sliver of doubt.

He hadn't even swallowed his bun yet. "Li... Li Luo, it... it's you."

"Y-your Soul Power is really level ten?"

Li Luo saw that it was Master Su Xiaotao and felt quite familiar with him. "Master Su, that's right!"

Li Luo said, "Although Master Su measured my Soul Power Level at zero three months ago, with my relentless efforts, I finally raised my Soul Power Level from zero to ten."

"Shh!" Su Xiaotao hurriedly shushed him.

This was a serious workplace blunder for him.

If someone with an agenda overheard and reported it to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, he might not even get to remain a trainee Spirit Transmitter.

"Please, let's not bring up what happened before. Li Luo, are you here to choose a Soul Spirit? I'll take you myself."

"And I'll waive the fee for the mental strength test, too."

Master Su Xiaotao pressed his palms together, humble and pleading.

Li Luo smiled. He didn't have much against Master Su Xiaotao; when they met again, he'd only been teasing him, with no ill intent.

Having someone familiar show him around

Was naturally excellent.

Li Luo smiled and said, "Sorry for the trouble, Master Su. Thank you."

Master Su Xiaotao led Li Luo to the room for testing mental strength. It was very modern.

All kinds of precision instruments filled the room.

Li Luo teased him. "Master Su, could my mental strength test come back as zero?"

Master Su Xiaotao looked as if he were about to cry. "Please, I'm begging you."

"It can't possibly be zero."

"If it is, I'll eat all these instruments."
