Golden Iron Triangle

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was thinking too simply—or perhaps dreaming too beautifully.

Offering a sacrifice right under the noses of so many Ferocious Beasts.

If not for his status as the Child of Nature, Yin Chuan could not imagine how he would survive.

Even as the Child of Nature, he would be the one bearing all the pressure while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hid away happily.

Yin Chuan refused.

At the very least, he would not agree now.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would be his sooner or later, so why rush it?

"Don't worry. You're the Child of Nature. Those guys won't dare touch you. They can only swallow this loss in silence."

"You get a Soul Ring, and I get freedom!"

"It's a win-win for both of us!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said in a sleazy tone.

He could already picture those damned Ferocious Beasts raging helplessly.

"Uh..."

"No means no. Figure out how to escape on your own first. When the time comes, I might consider cooperating with you."

"Besides, that Wisdom Soul Ring of yours isn't reliable, is it?"

Yin Chuan remembered that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had burst quite a few humans before figuring out the trick.

He did not dare be the first one to test it.

If Sky Dream Ice Silkworm blew him to death, then this Child of Nature would become a joke. He might as well just hunt Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and absorb his Soul Ring.

"If I could escape, would I even need you?"

"Ahem, listen to me. The Wisdom Soul Ring still has a few minor flaws, but there are always more solutions than difficulties..."

Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had lived for many years, he had spent all that time sleeping. He had no scheming nature at all, and his face was full of guilt.

Clearly, he had no confidence in the Wisdom Soul Ring whatsoever.

This was merely a desperate gamble to save his life.

Seeing his unreliable, guilty look, Yin Chuan's face darkened. There was even less chance that he would agree.

"Cut the crap. Go study it properly before you talk to me again."

"Otherwise, when I cultivate to level 99, I can hunt you down and absorb your Soul Ring. No one will object."

"Why should I accept your unreliable sacrifice?"

Yin Chuan cut off his spiritual perception, ignored Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and continued cultivating seriously.

Unless Sky Dream Ice Silkworm developed a safe, reliable sacrifice like the one he would give Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later,

it would be better to kill him and absorb his Soul Ring.

His soul skills were far too weak. His only advantage was his high cultivation age, and his Martial Soul Avatar would make a decent seventh Soul Ring.

"Yin Chuan, Yin Chuan, you're too cruel, too cold-hearted!"

"I was the one who helped raise you, after all,"

"You have no heart!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm accused him resentfully and indignantly. He had thought Yin Chuan would be overjoyed once he revealed his plan to switch sides.

Who would have thought Yin Chuan would remain completely unmoved,

and even want to hunt him down!

This was a tragedy.

At least the Ferocious Beasts treated him like a rechargeable battery. With his current energy, they would need to drain him for countless years, and he could at least linger on for a long time.

But Yin Chuan probably would not need even a few hundred years to cultivate to level 99. His life would be over then.

"No, I have to hurry up and research a method of sacrifice. Success or failure depends on this!"

"Otherwise, I'll really just be waiting for death."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was on the verge of tears. Even much of his sleepiness vanished, and the great lazy worm immediately perked up.

The only way now was to research sacrifice,

so that when the time came, Yin Chuan would choose the more cost-effective sacrifice over hunting him down.

Otherwise, he would truly be finished.

One week later.

"Whew~~"

Tang San awoke from Deep Meditation and let out a long breath, as though a lifetime had passed.

His first instinct was to look for Yin Chuan.

When he saw Yin Chuan was still beside him, he sighed in relief again.

"Awake?"

"Then let's go."

Yin Chuan stood and held out a hand to Tang San.

One week of Deep Meditation had exceeded his plans, but Tang San should have gained greatly from it. It was still a good thing.

"Mhm!"

Tang San nodded, took Yin Chuan's hand, and was pulled to his feet. After sitting for a week, his legs were a little numb when he suddenly stood up.

During this week of Deep Meditation,

Tang San's cultivation had directly broken through to level 36, rising a full level, because the Golden Dragon King had devoured most of the energy...

There was no helping it.

There was a Golden Dragon King inside him, crying out to be fed!

There was good news too: the time before the Golden Dragon King's seal broke had been greatly extended, so things were no longer so urgent.

"Uncle."

Following behind Yin Chuan, Tang San could not help turning back to look once more at those Primordial Ferocious Beasts. A strange sense of having lived another life rose within him.

Beneath this tiny lake, there was actually another world, where so many colossal creatures lay dormant...

"Uncle, where are we going next?"

Tang San hurriedly asked.

"Back to Shrek."

Since the Main Quest was still connected to Shrek, Yin Chuan needed to return.

"Okay!"

Tang San nodded obediently.

As soon as uncle and nephew emerged from the Lake of Life, they saw Xiao Wu guarding the lakeside, drowsing off.

Da Ming and Er Ming did not seem to be there.

Yin Chuan directly grabbed Xiao Wu by the back of her collar and lifted her up like a chick.

Packing her up to take away.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"

Xiao Wu jolted awake and instinctively wanted to use Rabbit Kicks Eagle, but when she saw it was Yin Chuan, she hurriedly pulled back her foot.

"Going back to school."

"Besides, Xiao San is very hungry."

Yin Chuan carried Xiao Wu over and set her aside. Following his words, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San.

Tang San's face was full of embarrassment.

After seven days of Deep Meditation, he was truly starving...

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

The Golden Dragon King in his stomach thundered.

"I'll go prepare something right away."

Xiao Wu shot Tang San an annoyed glare. This glutton had nearly exhausted her just from cooking for him.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

"Xiao Gang, my Xiao Gang! You've suffered so terribly!"

At the entrance to Blue Tyrant Academy,

Liu Erlong held Yu Xiaogang in her arms and wailed. Seeing her beloved in such a miserable state, her heart ached so badly she could barely breathe.

"Who was it? Who dared hurt you like this?"

"I'll tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

Liu Erlong was furious. She had always been a hot-tempered Fire Dragon, and Yu Xiaogang's severe injuries made her explode with rage.

No matter who it was,

anyone who hurt her Xiao Gang would pay back a hundredfold!

"Sigh, Erlong, there's no need to mention this matter."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head as if troubled. Since his teeth had been knocked out, his words leaked air everywhere.

Even though he tried his best to maintain a wise and refined appearance, he looked rather comical.

But in Liu Erlong's eyes, Yu Xiaogang was handsome no matter what.

"Sister Erlong, you don't know. A very powerful Soul Emperor came to our academy. Even I was no match for him."

"Xiao Gang's injuries were inflicted by that man's nephew."

Flender looked miserable.

Yu Xiaogang played the victim, while pouring out the grievances was Flender's job.

"Erlong, you must stay calm. After all, he is a powerful opponent that even Boss Flender cannot defeat!"

Yu Xiaogang also showed an anxious expression, as if he were worried about Liu Erlong.

The two of them played off each other,

and the hot-tempered Liu Erlong immediately lost her reason.

"Fine, a Soul Emperor actually dares be this arrogant!"

"He's picked a fight with the Golden Iron Triangle!"

"Come on, I'll go with you. With the Golden Iron Triangle joining forces, I'd like to see just how capable that Soul Emperor is!"

Liu Erlong's rage soared to the heavens, and she panted like a bull!
