Have You Ever Seen a Glowing Crocodile? Golden Crocodile Emperor

So, with ready-made godhood available, there was no need to create one himself. Yet Su Mu could rely on the Power of Faith to challenge a higher realm—the Supreme God King.

Of course, that was a matter for the future. At present, Su Mu still had a long road ahead of him.

Bibi Dong heard Su Mu's answer and said lightly, "That may not be the case, Senior Brother. Perhaps if I obtain godhood then, I'll break through even faster!"

Su Mu said, "Even then, you'll need a long process. It's impossible to reach the heavens in a single step. Even with godhood's support, you'll still need to improve gradually."

For an ordinary soul master to reach Soul Douluo, gaining one level of Soul Power a year was already considered fast.

In the original story, Bibi Dong had possessed extraordinary talent. Relying on her own advantages, she had advanced rapidly and broken through to Titled Douluo before reaching forty.

The continent only knew Tang Hao as the youngest Titled Douluo, but Bibi Dong had never announced her achievement. Otherwise, the title of youngest might not necessarily have belonged to Tang Hao.

Compared to the original story, Bibi Dong's breakthrough speed would only be faster now, never slower.

"Dong'er surely understands all that, but Senior Brother, your advancement is truly rare. Improving through the Power of Faith is something unprecedented."

Bibi Dong smiled. "Perhaps my progress will become very slow later on."

Su Mu tapped Bibi Dong on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? What if I break through faster than you?"

After all, twenty thousand years later, Ya Li had relied on the Power of Faith to leap directly from Soul Sage to Titled Douluo after a single sleep.

Though before that, Ya Li had traveled across fourteen provinces, treating the infected without rest.

To save more people, she had continuously burned her own life essence and the accumulated Power of Faith to amplify the effects of her healing.

Within fifteen days, her vitality had nearly been exhausted, and her body had aged rapidly. After treating the final patient, she had fallen into a near-death coma and been sent back to Shrek Academy. Everyone had thought she was about to pass away.

Yet no one had expected it.

The gratitude of countless people she had saved transformed into an endless stream of Power of Faith, surrounding and nourishing her sleeping body.

After sleeping for an entire year, Ya Li awakened. Her cultivation had directly crossed Soul Douluo, soaring from Soul Sage to Titled Douluo. Her title became Holy Spirit Douluo.

She was also one of the very few soul masters in continental history to leap directly from seven rings to nine.

That could be considered a blessing in disguise.

"Senior Brother, just wait and see."

Bibi Dong pursed her lips and snorted. Once I break through to Titled Douluo, I'll force myself on you and show you just how powerful I am in every way.

Tightness, wetness, strength.

I'll conquer you completely.

For the following period, they simply waited for Tian Yue to finish absorbing it.

Three hours passed. Golden Crocodile Douluo noticed in Worship Hall that Tian Yue had not returned and came directly to Spirit Hall Academy.

After arriving, he discovered that Tian Yue's aura was continuously rising. Astonished, he asked Su Mu and learned the full story.

"So that's what happened."

Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly understood, then laughed heartily. "I'll thank you on Tian Yue's behalf."

"Just a small matter."

Su Mu waved his hand.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, but he remembered this favor in his heart.

He understood very well the value of an Immortal Herb. Qian Xunji was a fine example.

Tian Yue had only known Su Mu for a short time, yet Su Mu had given her an Immortal Herb.

Su Mu truly regarded Tian Yue as a friend.

Time continued to pass. Only at night did Tian Yue's condition begin to stabilize, and the phantom of the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul gradually emerged.

Golden Crocodile Douluo watched as the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul behind Tian Yue changed at a visible speed.

The original Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul phantom had been a dark-gold giant crocodile, its body massive, its scales dull, possessing only savage and brutal strength.

Now, the Martial Soul phantom had turned a brilliant golden yellow. A pair of curved horns rose from its crocodilian head, intricate ancient golden patterns appeared across its scales, its eyes gleamed like molten gold, and its body became even more majestic and heavy.

The enormous crocodile phantom floated silently in the air. It no longer possessed only the ferocity of a savage beast; it also carried the imperial pressure of a sovereign ruling over all beasts.

A faint golden glow flowed over the phantom. The bony spikes on its tail became longer, and when it opened its mouth, golden currents of air seemed to surge within. Its bloodline pressure could intimidate ordinary beast Martial Souls.

"Her Martial Soul has changed!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was filled with excitement and disbelief.

"Grrr~"

Ah Yin's stomach began to rumble as she sat in the subordinate's seat, forming a sharp contrast to Golden Crocodile Douluo's emotions.

One was excited. The other was genuinely hungry.

"I'm so hungry. I want to eat." Ah Yin's face was full of hunger-induced misery.

Did Su Mu not eat?

"Hungry?" Su Mu looked at Ah Yin.

Ah Yin nodded. "Really hungry."

Su Mu took out a piece of dried beef jerky from his storage Soul Tool. "Eat this. It'll tide you over for now. Once Tian Yue is done, we'll go get something to eat."

Ah Yin took the beef jerky, bit into it, and nodded frantically. "I'll listen to you."

At that moment, Tian Yue opened her eyes again and realized it was already nighttime. But why was the night so bright?

She looked behind her and discovered that her Martial Soul was glowing.

Holy crap, my Martial Soul is actually this bright?

It was as if someone had installed a light bulb on a crocodile. It was almost blinding.

The original Golden Crocodile King had been dark gold, but the current Golden Crocodile King was golden yellow, and its source power was stronger than before.

"My Martial Soul has evolved!" Tian Yue was overjoyed.

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the excited Tian Yue and smiled. "Tian Yue, your Martial Soul is no longer the Golden Crocodile King. It's even more remarkable than your grandfather's."

Tian Yue looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo. "Grandpa, you came too. I've decided to call my Martial Soul the Golden Crocodile Emperor. What do you think?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, thoroughly approving of the name.

Her Martial Soul had evolved, and Tian Yue's aura had reached level thirty-nine. She was only one level away from breaking through to level forty. Once she returned and absorbed the Spirit Bone prepared for her, she would probably reach level forty.

"Oh, right. Where's Boss Su?" Tian Yue stood up and looked around, spotting Su Mu walking toward her.

Su Mu said, "Stop looking. I'm right here."

Tian Yue smiled. "Boss Su, did you see it? My Martial Soul evolved."

"Congratulations. And you can put your Martial Soul away now. We'll go fill our stomachs later. Ah Yin is starving."

Hearing Su Mu's words, Tian Yue looked at Ah Yin, who sat beneath a tree dryly gnawing on beef jerky, looking exactly like a starving little glutton.

Tian Yue felt a little embarrassed. "Sorry for making all of you wait for me. I'll treat everyone tonight."

After putting away the shining Golden Crocodile Emperor, everyone left Spirit Hall Academy and headed for a restaurant in Spirit City.

At the same time, high above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Qian Xunji, Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei floated in the sky, looking down upon the clan below.

"Yu Yuanzhen, get out here right now!"

Qian Xunji's voice instantly spread throughout the entire clan.

The sound was deafening.

The next moment, a blue figure flew out and landed before the four of them. It was Yu Yuanzhen, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader. But when he saw the four people and sensed the auras they radiated, Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed drastically.
