Bi Ji Enters the Ranks, the Swan Knight

Shui Qing'er shook her head gently.

"Let's not go for now."

"There are surely many women gathered over there, and it must be quite chaotic. We can see Brother Cao just as well through the Dream Space while staying here."

The sisters exchanged a glance; their mother was right.

Over at the Ye Family Fortress, the girls from the Genius Ranking and the Combat Power Ranking were all gathered together.

With the official wife, Ye Lingling, presiding over the scene, there were Xiao Wu, the Zhu sisters, Liu Erlong, Ah Yin, Tang Yuehua... which one of them wasn't a woman of peerless grace?

For the three of them to rush over there, only to be met with jealousy and schemes, would be far less comfortable than staying at Tianshui Academy.

Watching her two daughters' obedient expressions, a warm current surged through Shui Qing'er's heart.

She paused, then added, "Besides... here, Mother is still the Dean. With this status, things are... rather stimulating when we cultivate."

Shui Bing'er: "..."

Shui Yue'er: "..."

Shui Yue'er opened her mouth, wanting to ask but not daring to.

Stimulating? What kind of stimulating? Why would having this status make things more stimulating?

Shui Bing'er simply lowered her head, her ears turning red.

Seeing her daughters' reactions, Shui Qing'er couldn't help but laugh.

"You are still young; you don't understand." She shook her head lightly and turned back to gaze out the window.

Star Dou Great Forest, Life Lake.

In a secluded area, Bi Ji's emerald-green hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

Her body was surrounded by a faint halo of life, like an emerald under the moonlight.

Beside her, Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his golden dragon pupils fixed on the Sky Screen, his expression solemn.

Xiong Jun sat cross-legged on a giant boulder and grumbled in a muffled voice, "This lousy ranking is full of human women or those who have taken human form. What does it have to do with us soul beasts?"

Red King's three heads nodded in unison, yet all six eyes were secretly stealing glances at the Sky Screen.

Though they claimed not to care, they were secretly hoping to see if a soul beast could make the list.

Just then, golden light surged wildly across the Sky Screen! A brand-new image suddenly appeared!

In the image, a massive, elegant swan, entirely emerald green as if carved from jade, appeared.

It spread its wings and danced gracefully within the golden light, every feather refracting a dazzling, mesmerizing luster.

Its posture was elegant, its aura divine.

Immediately after, emerald light shone, and the giant swan transformed into a streak of light, slowly condensing into a slender figure.

Her figure was graceful, her hair like a waterfall, and her entire body radiated a soft halo of life.

Her face was gentle and breathtakingly beautiful.

It was none other than Bi Ji!

[Combat Power Ranking, 9th Place: Bi Ji.]

[Identity: One of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, Matriarch of the Emerald Swan clan (can freely switch between human and soul beast forms).]

[Strength: 990,000 years.]

[Cultivation Techniques: Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, Heavenly Demon Chaotic Dance.]

[Rewards: Teleportation Talisman x10, can teleport to any location on the Douluo Continent; cultivation age increased by 10,000 years, exemption from Heavenly Tribulation; Life Force evolved into Ultimate Life.]

BOOM!!!

The entire secluded area erupted in an instant!

Xiong Jun's mouth hung wide open as he pointed at the graceful figure on the Sky Screen:

"Bi... Bi Ji?! It really is Bi Ji!"

King of Ten Thousand Demons waved his branches, letting out an incredulous shriek: "990,000 years? Ultimate Life? And exemption from Heavenly Tribulation? This... this..."

Red King's three heads turned toward Bi Ji simultaneously, all six eyes filled with shock.

As fellow members of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, everyone knew Bi Ji only had about 500,000 years of cultivation. How did it suddenly reach 990,000?

That was even higher than Di Tian's!

Di Tian's golden dragon pupils watched Bi Ji in the golden light, his expression extremely complex.

Even he only had 800,000 years of cultivation, though his noble bloodline gave him actual combat power far exceeding his age.

Was that Brother Cao, that Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, truly so miraculous?

Was there still hope for the soul beast race?

Feeling the surging cultivation within her body and the mysterious transformation of her life force into Ultimate Life, Bi Ji's lips curled into a slight smile.

Her cultivation soared rapidly, reaching a full million years.

The million-year heavenly tribulation that struck fear into the hearts of countless fierce beasts had not even had the chance to take form before it was quietly dissolved by the Sky Screen.

The fierce beasts were filled with envy; this was a million years, equivalent to a human reaching the hundredth level and becoming a god.

Before this, the only one among the fierce beasts to have achieved such a feat was the Lord herself.

They had not expected that Bi Ji, who had always been so quiet and unassuming, was actually hiding such depth.

The pillar of light gradually dissipated, and Bi Ji slowly opened her eyes. Her aura was terrifyingly powerful, even stronger than Di Tian's pressure by a few degrees.

"Brother Cao... thank you."

"Bi Ji will definitely repay you well!"

Xiong Jun stood up abruptly, his massive body like a moving mountain.

He glared at Bi Ji. "Bi Ji! Are you truly going to abandon our soul beast clan? To go off with that human brat?"

Bi Ji turned her head to look at Xiong Jun and said calmly, "Bi Ji will always be a soul beast, and I will always be loyal to the Lord."

Xiong Jun was stunned. "Then why have you gotten involved with that human brat?"

Di Tian stepped forward, his brows locked in a deep frown.

Bi Ji was the existence with the strongest healing abilities in their soul beast clan; if she really left, the loss to the soul beast clan would be far too great.

He said in a deep voice, "Bi Ji, what exactly are you thinking? Why did you cultivate that Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique?"

"Di Tian, I have made myself very clear. I will not leave the Star Dou Great Forest, nor will I leave the soul beast clan. I have simply... found my own path."

Di Tian was silent for a moment, just about to say something more.

"Do not make things difficult for Bi Ji."

An ethereal and majestic voice drifted out from the depths of the hidden realm.

The fierce beasts turned in unison to see silver light rippling in the depths.

The figure of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, slowly emerged.

"Bi Ji has her own choices, and we should not stand in her way."

Di Tian bowed slightly. "Lord..."

Gu Yuena waved her hand and looked at Bi Ji, saying gently, "The Star Dou Great Forest will always be your home."

Bi Ji's eyes turned slightly red, and she bowed deeply. "Thank you, Lord."

Above the Sky Screen, the images of Bi Ji on the ranking list continued to play, and the discussions across the continent had already exploded.

"A fierce beast? An Emerald Swan? My god, what is the concept of nine hundred and ninety thousand years? How many years must she have lived?"

"Although she can shift into human form, she is still a soul beast in essence, right? Can this really work? A human and a soul beast... this is just too..."

"So what? As long as she's beautiful, who cares if she's human or not! Look at that figure, that temperament, tsk tsk..."

"Brother Cao's tastes have reached new heights! He won't even let a fierce beast go!"

"Holy crap! A swan knight! Brother Cao is really going to be a beast tamer!"

"This reward is too heaven-defying! Nine hundred and ninety thousand years—if she improves by another ten thousand, wouldn't that be..."

"One million years! A true million-year soul beast!"

"She's directly exempted from the heavenly tribulation; the Sky Screen is awesome!"

"Don't say any more, I'm already numb. Humans, soul beasts, hundred-thousand-year transformations... whatever, let it be."
