Di Qiu'er

On this day, Shrek Academy issued a notice, putting Yu Chen on its most-wanted list.

The Shrek Academy outer courtyard was instantly in an uproar. They had no idea why the academy was hunting Yu Chen. In their eyes, Yu Chen had a good personality and treated others gently.

Shrek's stated reason was: This boy was a spy sent by the Sun Moon Empire and endangered the safety of the Douluo Continent.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and the others definitely did not believe Yu Chen was that kind of person, but constrained by Shrek's authority, they did not dare make a scene.

This matter also reached Yu Chen's ears, but he did not care.

There was no need to think about it; it had to be Tang San's doing. He had originally thought there was no need to destroy Shrek, but since they had already become enemies, it would be better to wipe it out.

That sure sounded nice—if you do not go to hell in this world, who will?

Was he supposed to go to hell? What a joke.

He began considering it. Since Shrek was hunting him, where should he go?

"Why not go to the Sun Moon Empire?"

Why choose the Sun Moon Empire? It was absolutely not to meet someone he ought to meet, but because the Sun Moon Empire was Shrek's sworn enemy.

Since he was going to the Sun Moon Empire anyway, he would definitely take the championship in next year's Soul Master Tournament. Shrek had held the title for far, far too long and had already gone mad over it.

Then he suddenly thought of someone—Xuan Zi.

"Looks like Xuan Zi needs to step up too. A level-98 Super Douluo actually lost to an Evil Soul Master with only five soul rings."

Yu Chen recalled the original plot and could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.

He stood up and brushed the dust off himself. Now that he had decided to go to the Sun Moon Empire, he definitely needed to make a trip to the Far North as well.

Because a great opportunity awaited him in the Far North. He would not foolishly leave such a great opportunity for Huo Yuhao.

Opportunities belonged to no one. Since he was here, it was only right that he took it for himself. As for Huo Yuhao, he could serve as Yu Chen's stepping stone.

Just then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion pounced on him from behind.

"Brother Yu, I found you!"

A crisp voice rang out from behind him. There was no need to guess who had arrived.

He helplessly got up and held the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms, stroking her.

"You little kitty, I really don't know what to do with you."

"Brother Chen, can you play with me for a while?"

"Sure, sure, I'll go with you."

Yu Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry, his tone like he was coaxing a child. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded happily.

"Yay, that's wonderful! Brother Chen, I found a really fun place."

"Really? How fun is it?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion pulled Yu Chen outside and headed toward the mixed zone.

Red King, hidden in the shadows, followed the two of them. After all, Red King's duty was to protect the auspicious beast. As for why Yu Chen did not need protection? Because Yu Chen had already entered the ranks of ferocious beasts. In Star Dou, that made him high-level combat power.

Before long, the two arrived at the mixed zone. The mixed zone was a transitional area between Star Dou's outer region and core region, home to ordinary thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion brought Yu Chen to the entrance of a cave. The opening was neither wide nor narrow, barely large enough for two people to pass through.

Yu Chen incredulously pointed at the cave ahead. He could not understand what the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was thinking.

"The fun place is in here?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded vigorously.

"Yep, right here! I have lots of treasures inside too."

Yu Chen smiled fondly and rubbed her head.

"Alright, then let's go in together."

"Yay! Just follow me."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion led Yu Chen into the cave. It was quite spacious at first, but it gradually became narrower the farther they went.

Once they reached the end, Yu Chen immediately spotted sparkling objects inside.

"We're here."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lifted her chin, wearing an expression that begged for praise.

Seeing this, Yu Chen stroked her fur. It felt wonderful beneath his hand. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion narrowed her eyes comfortably, enjoying Yu Chen's caresses.

"Is this your collection?"

"Yes, yes! Those shiny things are my collection."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion simply liked collecting such things. In her eyes, anything fun should be hidden away.

Yu Chen looked at those several "mountains." Most of them were glowing objects: glittering gold soul coins, soul tools, and the like. He could also sense fluctuations of soul power among them, which should have been soul bones. After sensing them carefully, he discovered one ten-thousand-year soul bone and two thousand-year soul bones.

He picked up the ten-thousand-year soul bone. Judging by its shape, it was a left leg bone, roughly ten thousand years old, just reaching the ten-thousand-year grade.

The other two thousand-year soul bones were both right leg bones, each around five thousand years old.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion ran over and looked at the soul bone in Yu Chen's hand.

"Brother Chen, these bones are both my trophies!"

"Oh, trophies?"

Yu Chen became interested. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had used the word "trophies," which meant she had obtained them after defeating her opponents.

"Yes! Some hateful human Soul Masters tried to hunt me before. Then I killed them instead, and these things dropped."

To the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, these were trophies with extraordinary significance.

After all, looking back on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's life, she had killed countless thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts. It was impossible that not a single soul bone had dropped. Most of the soul bones dropped by the soul beasts she killed had been buried by her as offerings to mourn the fallen soul beasts.

Yu Chen nodded thoughtfully, then praised the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Little kitty is the best."

Yu Chen paused. It was not right to keep calling her "little kitty." Did the Three-Eyed Golden Lion have a name now?

"Do you have a name now?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head and said, "Not yet. Uncle Di Tian and the others all call me the 'auspicious beast.'"

"Is that so?" Yu Chen nodded thoughtfully. Recalling the original plot, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not gain a human name until she took human form.

"If you don't have one, how about I give you a name?"

Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded excitedly.

"Okay, okay!"

"Then you'll be called Di Qiu'er. How does that sound?"

Why did Yu Chen give her that name? In his view, it was just a name. It did not really matter.

"Di Qiu'er!"

Hearing the name, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion silently repeated it to herself, as though it carried an endless, fated magic.

"Okay, okay! I finally have a name!"

"Little kitty—ah, no, I should call you Qiu'er now."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion jumped about happily. Apparently, having a name was something that made her extremely happy.

"Alright, alright, settle down for a moment."

Yu Chen helplessly soothed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's emotions.

After calming down, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at the soul bone in Yu Chen's hand.

"Since Brother likes this soul bone, I'll give it to Brother."

"Really? Then thank you, Qiu'er."

Although Yu Chen's bloodline did not allow him to absorb soul bones, saving them up could still help him win people over, could it not?

Before long, the two returned the way they had come. Seeing the exit ahead, they crossed through the cave entrance and emerged outside.

Please keep reading, and send monthly votes and recommendation votes.

If the protagonist wanted to become the Dragon God, the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King had to unite. Since the protagonist's bloodline was already equal to the Dragon God's, they could not merge with him; he could only devour them.

At the end of Ultimate Douluo, Tang San stripped Gu Yuena's and Tang Wulin's Dragon King bloodlines from them and gave them to Lan Xuanyu.

So this was the idea I used as reference. The Silver Dragon King had to take human form. After she completely became human, her bloodline could be stripped out for the protagonist to devour, after which he could inherit the Dragon God's divine position.

If the Silver Dragon King did not take human form, stripping her bloodline would be no different from seeking death.
