"This is wonderful news!!" His gaze fixed on the Celestial Screen, Prince Xue Xing wore the same delighted surprise as his elder brother.
"With my brother's adopted son Lü Fengxian, and Tian Qingyue of the Tian Family, our empire now has two geniuses worth showing off!"
Recalling the refined young man who had briefly appeared on the Celestial Screen, Prince Xue Xing's excited face also showed a faint trace of sorrow.
"Ah!"
"Uncle? Why are you sighing? Like you said, isn't this good news?" Xue Beng stared at the uncle who supported him with wide, clear eyes full of confusion.
Prince Xue Xing: "..."
"Ah!"
"Why do I still feel that the Heaven Dou Empire is doomed, even though we now have two geniuses?"
[On the Celestial Screen, with the addition of the allied army assembled to "punish the tomb robbers," the human camp swept forward like a blade splitting bamboo, turning the tables and beating back the beast tide and the Infected.]
[Of course, this was only possible because several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts on the Soul Beasts' side were fighting that enormous creature together, unable to break away to deal with the humans.]
["What kind of monster is that? It can actually fight three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to a standstill?"]
[A hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape, a hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python, and a hundred-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.]
[These Soul Beasts, which could overpower Titled Douluos even with only ten thousand years of cultivation, were now locked in a fierce battle with that Great Unclean One.]
[As time ticked by, countless human Soul Masters stared at the three somewhat battered Soul Beasts, greed blazing in their eyes.]
["Those are Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts! Even if we can't absorb their Soul Rings, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are guaranteed to drop Soul Bones!"]
["Hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones! Those are priceless treasures!"]
["Once those three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts run out of strength, we'll kill them and that monster! Take their Soul Bones!!"]
["Kill the Soul Beasts! Take their Soul Bones!!"]
["Humans, you've got some nerve!" Feeling those greedy gazes, Xiong Jun exploded with fury!]
[He gritted his teeth and endured his physical discomfort, dodging a club strike from the Great Unclean One before whipping out a backhand claw slash at the crowd.]
[It instantly cleared a swath of the battlefield and made most of the human Soul Masters realize that they apparently couldn't beat a hundred-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Their greedy eyes grew considerably clearer.]
["This is so damned frustrating!"]
[Xiong Jun's bear face flushed crimson. The monster before him not only matched his attack power, but also had absurdly high defense and regenerative ability.]
[His ultimate technique, Sky-Rending Claw, merely gouged a pit of rotten flesh in its body. It was like scratching an itch: not only did the wound quickly heal, but he ended up poisoned instead.]
["This poison really packs a punch, but why does it feel like it's weakened quite a bit?"]
[Quite a few poisonous sores had already appeared amid Xiong Jun's dark gold fur, but to his surprise, the poison seemed to be gradually weakening with time.]
["Motherfucker! I refuse to believe this!" There was the interference of the plague toxins, the humans' greedy gazes, and even faint whispers of something like the "Blood God" in his ears.]
[The longer Xiong Jun fought, the angrier he grew. In an instant, a furious roar that could not be quelled rose from his heart.]
["You two get the hell out of the way and deal with those humans! Today, it's either this monster or me!"]
[Carried away, Xiong Jun slapped the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python away. Ignoring how disgusting the Great Unclean One was, he hurled himself straight at him.]
["Come on! Fight me one-on-one!!"]
["Roar!!"]
[A furious roar shook the heavens as a bloody radiance settled over Xiong Jun.]
[Xiong Jun pinned the Great Unclean One to the ground. As if possessed, beneath countless shocked gazes, he used his muzzle and claws together to frantically tear into that rotten, stinking flesh.]
[The Great Unclean One seemed stunned too.]
[Watching Xiong Jun sprawled over him, willingly eating his flesh, a trace of affection suddenly flashed across the Great Unclean One's fat, twisted, ugly face.]
[He simply stopped resisting and lay there on the ground.]
[He let the red-eyed Xiong Jun gnaw on him, even reaching out to pat Xiong Jun's back like a mother worried that her nursing child might choke.]
[As time passed, Xiong Jun's dark gold fur gradually turned dark green, and more green sores grew on his body.]
[But the next moment, a flash of scarlet bloodlight made those symptoms vanish. Xiong Jun's dark gold fur began turning blood-red instead, and even two faint bumps appeared on his head.]
[Then his fur gradually became shrouded in green again. Just like that, Xiong Jun's body kept shifting between green and red.]
["Holy shit! Is this Soul Beast really that brave?!"]
["Is Khorne making his move?!"]
[Rubbing his backside, Yu Tiansheng forgot about the pain as he stared at Xiong Jun in horror, then turned toward his elder brother.]
["That's not right! This wasn't in the prophecy Tzeentch gave us!"]
["If Khorne doesn't bestow a blessing on a Soul Beast this brave, I'll go gnaw on the Great Unclean One's flesh myself, right here."]
["This is bad, bad! This is bad now! I've fallen for Tzeentch's scheme again!"]
["I only wanted the Soul Beasts to lose those two unimportant Soul Beasts, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, to Nurgle or Khorne!"]
["Oh, come on! Xiong Jun, why the hell are you eating 'shit'?! Doesn't that mean... doesn't that mean you're done for?!"]
["Why won't you follow my plan?!"]
In reality, hearing Yu Tiansheng's anguished howls, the Ferocious Beasts all turned their gazes toward Xiong Jun.
Setting aside why Yu Tiansheng knew Xiong Jun's name, everyone was clearly interested in Xiong Jun getting carried away and eating shit.
"Xiong Jun! Ah, Xiong Jun!" All three of the Scarlet King's heads shook together. "You're always calling me a shit-eating dog. Who would have thought? Who would have thought?"
"A bear with thick brows and big, honest eyes like you, coveting that warm mouthful all along."
"Scarlet King! Fuck your mother!!"
Feeling the faint gazes around him, Xiong Jun flew into a rage and immediately pounced on the Scarlet King.
"He's mad, he's mad! This bear is mad!!" Leaping aside to dodge, the Scarlet King stared at Xiong Jun, all three heads letting out shrill, mocking laughter.
"What do you know! That was martial valor! I got carried away fighting!" Then came a string of phrases like "powerful combat prowess," "bravely slaying the enemy," and "extraordinary courage."
This made all the Ferocious Beasts except Di Tian burst into laughter, filling the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest with a merry atmosphere.
Di Tian, however, wore a dark expression throughout, not a muscle in his face twitching as he silently watched everything happening on the Celestial Screen.
He could sense that something beyond their imagination was going to happen on the Celestial Screen.
["Big brother, has Xiong Jun always been like this?"]
[Staring in horror at the almost nauseating scene before him, the Titan Giant Ape turned toward the Sky Azure Bull Python beside him.]
["I... I've never seen Xiong Jun like this either." Watching the scene, which almost made him retch, the Sky Azure Bull Python was also somewhat frightened.]
["When we were fighting just now, we were still worried about how disgusting that monster was. Why did Xiong Jun suddenly throw everything aside and pounce on him to bite?"]
["Did his bear genes awaken? But I've never heard of any bear that likes eating shit."]
["Er Ming, stop talking! Let's deal with the humans first!"]
[He stared at Xiong Jun's originally dark gold fur as it gradually shifted back and forth between dark green and blood-red.]
[A bad premonition immediately rose in the Sky Azure Bull Python's heart, and he tugged his younger brother along, wanting to find an excuse to flee.]
["In that case, Xiong Jun, we'll leave this to you!"]
[After tossing out those words, the Sky Azure Bull Python pulled the Titan Giant Ape along, intending to charge into the crowd.]
[But...]
["Didn't I already tell you? You're the toys I've taken a fancy to!"]
[The sudden voice made every hair on the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape stand on end.]
