The True Lord of Soul Beasts

"Old Tang!"

"You taught me a lot, so I respect you, but I won't let you say things like that again! I have to keep my promise to my sister."

Tang Wulin spoke to Old Tang with righteous indignation.

Seeing that Tang Wulin still wouldn't change his mind, Old Tang could only sigh helplessly.

"All right!"

"It's just a shame to let such a vast power go to waste."

"But... remember, the Gold Dragon King's seal can't hold forever. Sooner or later, it'll break free on its own. Before that happens, you have to make yourself stronger!"

"Although your sister can absorb the Gold Dragon King's power, when the seal breaks, it's your body that'll take the impact!"

"If you can't withstand it, then there's nothing more to discuss!"

After Old Tang finished speaking, Tang Wulin nodded slightly. "I know!"

But that was all right.

He trusted Yun Feng.

"..."

After leaving the Spirit Pagoda, Yun Feng took an unconventional route, bypassed all the checkpoints, and soon reached the outskirts of Bright Capital.

Beside the forest at the roadside, someone stood quietly.

He was a huge, burly man with a steady-looking face. He was peering around cautiously when Yun Feng tiptoed up behind him and kicked him.

"Whoa!"

The man jumped in fright.

He spun around!

When he saw Yun Feng, his fierce expression froze.

"...M-My Lord, Gold Dragon King?"

"Mm!"

Yun Feng nodded. With her hands behind her back, she tilted her head and carefully studied the big man before her.

"You're... Xiong Jun?"

"Yes."

Xiong Jun nodded.

Yun Feng furrowed her brows, then said, "I remember telling Bi Ji to inform Di Tian and have him meet me here. Why did you come instead?"

"Is Di Tian refusing to follow my orders now?"

At that, Xiong Jun immediately shook his head. "No! Di Tian was going to come himself, but..."

"But what?"

Yun Feng asked.

Seeing Xiong Jun hesitate, she said, "Is it because of the Silver Dragon King?"

Xiong Jun nodded. "That's right. The Silver Dragon King needs him too, and he couldn't very well refuse, so he could only send me."

After hearing Xiong Jun's explanation, Yun Feng nodded slightly. Seeing him keep sizing her up, she raised an eyebrow.

"What are you looking at?"

"Do you think I don't look the part of the Gold Dragon King?"

"Well..."

Xiong Jun scratched his head.

He didn't lie. He nodded and admitted, "A little."

To the Ferocious Beasts, the Gold Dragon King had always represented absolute power. In Xiong Jun's mind, she should have looked overwhelmingly mighty!

But Yun Feng...

Though she did have the Gold Dragon King's aura.

Her appearance just didn't match what he'd imagined.

Even though Di Tian had given him a heads-up beforehand.

Seeing how blunt Xiong Jun was, Yun Feng smiled and beckoned him over. "Come on, get a little closer."

Xiong Jun wasn't sure what she meant, but he crouched down.

Yun Feng raised a hand and pressed it to his shoulder. In the next instant, a fierce golden glint flashed in his eyes!

Boom!

In that moment, the dragon's might surged like a boundless tide!

By the time Xiong Jun came to his senses, Yun Feng was still looking at him with a smile.

"Xiong Jun!"

"Here!"

Xiong Jun answered at once.

Turning her back to him, Yun Feng spoke slowly. "Tang San destroyed my divine body in the Divine Realm. Now I'm using the Silver Dragon King's human avatar. As for strength..."

"I really am still weaker than the Silver Dragon King you've followed for hundreds of thousands of years! I might not even be able to beat you."

"If you don't want to acknowledge a Gold Dragon King like me, you can say so outright. You can even leave. I won't hold it against you."

Xiong Jun blinked.

He looked at Yun Feng's back and fell silent.

Maybe...

He should leave?

Xiong Jun wondered.

But just as the thought crossed his mind, a chill suddenly washed over him!

It was as if leaving would bring some terrible calamity down on him!

Th-this...

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Yun Feng asked.

Xiong Jun took a deep breath and said at once, "The Silver Dragon King is our lord, and the Gold Dragon King is our lord too! You're both our lords. There's no distinction between high and low!"

When he finished, Yun Feng glanced over her shoulder at Xiong Jun.

Amusement danced in her eyes.

The moment Xiong Jun saw her expression, he realized that Yun Feng had been testing him on purpose!

Who said the Gold Dragon King had no brains? She was clearly much sharper than him!

"Heh..."

Yun Feng laughed.

She turned around, lifted her chin slightly, and looked down at Xiong Jun.

"Who taught you to say that?"

Xiong Jun immediately replied, "It was... that fellow, Myriad Demon King."

"Back then, when we learned of your existence, our Ferocious Beasts held a little meeting. Di Tian made our goal clear."

"Mm."

Yun Feng nodded.

She turned and walked ahead. "Good! That was well said! I like hearing that."

Seeing her move, Xiong Jun immediately followed.

"My lord, where are we going?"

At that, Yun Feng pointed north. "We're going north, to the Far North!"

She had planned this long ago. She wasn't really a student, after all. She couldn't just take a trip and call it a trial like those Soul Masters did.

There weren't many suitable places among the Federation's regions.

Human cities were mostly out of the question. Of course, she might visit the Blacksmith Association; getting a set of Battle Armor from Zhenhua wouldn't be bad.

Aside from the Blacksmith Association and a few other places, the only destinations left were places where Soul Beasts gathered.

Speaking of that, Yun Feng had to gripe about one thing.

Did the Soul Beasts of the Douluo Plane only get Soul Beast ID cards if they lived in the Star Dou Forest?

From beginning to end, not to mention Gu Yuena, even Di Tian had barely paid any attention to the Soul Beasts outside the Star Dou Forest.

As the Lord of Soul Beasts, how could she play favorites?

She was different!

She wanted to care for every Soul Beast on Douluo Star, whether in the ocean or on land!

Or in the sky.

She was the true Lord of Soul Beasts!

As Yun Feng thought this, Xiong Jun said, "My lord, should I take you there? Can you fly now?"

Yun Feng stopped and turned to look at Xiong Jun, raising an eyebrow.

"..."

"No need. We'll take our time."

"I made plans with Bi Ji to meet outside the Far North in a month. There's no point in going early."

Only after Yun Feng said this did Xiong Jun nod and follow her.

"Then should we take the Soul Guidance Train?"

"No."

Yun Feng shook her head.

"My identity in the human world is special. Taking the Soul Guidance Train would only cause unnecessary trouble."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xiong Jun again and asked, "Don't you have a Soul Guidance Car?"

Xiong Jun shook his head.

Yun Feng: "..."

These Ferocious Beasts were supposedly mid-level members of the Spirit Pagoda, at least on paper!

Not even buying a single Soul Guidance Car—wasn't that a little bizarre?

Seeing Yun Feng stare at him in surprise, Xiong Jun immediately said, "The seats are too small. It's uncomfortable."

Yun Feng said, "I'm giving you one day to get me a Soul Guidance Car. Go!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Xiong Jun immediately straightened up and nodded.
