Tang Chuan fell into thought. The Power of Fate was an opportunity he did not want Huo Yuhao to miss, but would that deepen their entanglement with Tang San? After all, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was part of Tang San's plans.
"If I really attract Tang San's attention, even with the system, he'll still be extremely difficult to deal with..."
Tang Chuan pondered for a moment.
"Forget it. Maybe the system can help me. It can even intercept communications between Tang San and Niu Tian, so what can't it do? Since Yuhao is my disciple, I'll give him the best opportunities."
In the end, Tang Chuan made up his mind completely. This time, however, he would not let the Three-Eyed Golden Lion take human form based on someone else's appearance again. She should become herself.
Change her fate.
Tang Chuan would receive rewards. What bliss!
"Besides... if I can meet Di Tian, it'll be the perfect chance to make them believe the lie that I'm the Golden Dragon King's inheritor. I might even get more rewards."
At that thought, Tang Chuan settled on his objective for this trip: he had to thoroughly provoke the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
He had to draw Di Tian out.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao led the group, releasing Spiritual Detection as he continuously searched for Soul Beasts suitable for everyone. Before long, he found something!
"A Soul Beast with around five thousand years of cultivation and an active defensive skill. Senior Nannan, I think it should be just right for you!"
Huo Yuhao reminded her softly.
Everyone followed Huo Yuhao's gaze and saw a Bone Armor Turtle with five thousand years of cultivation lurking in the bushes ahead. It was an extremely unusual Soul Beast.
Its ability resembled Invincible Golden Body!
"That's the one!"
Jiang Nannan nodded lightly, extremely satisfied with this choice for her fourth Soul Ring.
Boom!
An immensely powerful force suddenly erupted from Jiang Nannan's long legs. In a few flashes, she closed in on the Bone Armor Turtle. Seeing this, Tang Ya sent Blue Silver King bursting from the ground, assisting Jiang Nannan from the side.
"Nannan, take it down!"
Tang Ya spoke. Her fighting style had now changed as well, relying on the toughness of her Blue Silver King Martial Soul.
The ground beneath her feet instantly split open!
Immediately afterward, a Blue Silver Emperor took shape, splitting into Blue Silver spears that suddenly thrust out, tearing through the air with tremendous penetrating power.
Hum!
Throughout this process...
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sharing covered everyone at all times. Wang Dong manifested her Martial Soul and flew forward to attack. As for Xiao Xiao...
She played the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute.
Amid shimmering azure light, Xiao Xiao's bearing also became ethereal. Azure phoenixes circled her as the purest spiritual melodies were nurtured within the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.
"Watch me!"
Xiao Xiao swung the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron with one hand and descended from the sky.
Boom!
The massive weight of the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron erupted along with the melodies of the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute. Their combined power struck the Bone Armor Turtle, renowned for its defense, head-on.
The Bone Armor Turtle howled and was flipped onto its back.
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Nannan appeared in an instant and kicked the Bone Armor Turtle into the air. Tang Ya's and Wang Dong's attacks followed close behind, striking its weakest points.
Boom!
The Bone Armor Turtle instantly suffered heavy injuries. Jiang Nannan glanced at Huo Yuhao in utter surprise. He had supported them throughout the entire process.
Although Huo Yuhao was currently only rank twenty-eight...
His value truly was extraordinarily high!
"Fourth Soul Skill..."
"Life Control!"
Tang Ya cried out, unleashing her fourth Soul Skill. Strands of Blue Silver King instantly enveloped and restrained the Bone Armor Turtle. Through repeated conversions, its life force was mercilessly absorbed by Tang Ya.
Seeing this, Tang Chuan could not help smiling.
"When the Life Attribute of Blue Silver King or Blue Silver Emperor reaches a certain level, it naturally learns control properties such as entanglement."
"Why specifically add a Soul Ring to give it the ability to entangle?"
Tang Chuan felt helpless.
He had never expected people today to keep believing that trash theory from the good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang ten thousand years ago. It truly did untold harm.
"Nannan, quick!"
Tang Ya urged in a low voice.
Boom!
Jiang Nannan instantly attacked, killing the Bone Armor Turtle in a single blow. Looking at the purple Soul Ring emerging before her, she took a deep breath and thanked Huo Yuhao and the others. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, Senior. Hurry and absorb it."
Huo Yuhao said with a soft chuckle.
As Jiang Nannan began absorbing the Soul Ring, everyone stayed where they were to rest for the time being. During this process, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to discover something.
"Yuhao... I think I've sensed a light attribute!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly lit up.
"Where?"
"Just ahead!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said excitedly, "Hehe, my excitement definitely wasn't misplaced. That's an ultimate light attribute!"
Huo Yuhao passed this information on to Tang Chuan.
"Oh?"
Tang Chuan nodded with a smile. "In that case, you can decide for yourselves. If its age is suitable, kill it for Wang Dong's third Soul Ring."
"Yes, Teacher!"
Huo Yuhao swiftly set off with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao behind him, while Tang Ya stayed to guard Jiang Nannan. Watching the direction the three had gone, Tang Chuan could not quite put his mind at ease.
"I'd better go take a look..."
Tang Chuan rose.
"Just ahead!"
Guided by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao soon pinpointed the Soul Beast with the light attribute. He parted the grass to look and saw a little golden beast lying lazily nearby, basking in the sun.
On her forehead was a special third eye. Though closed, it contained the ultimate Power of Fate.
"Holy shit!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm let out a strange cry.
"Tian Meng, this is the light-attribute Soul Beast you sensed? Are you joking? Do you have any idea this could get everyone killed?!"
The Ice Empress was practically mad with anger.
"That's the fucking Three-Eyed Golden Lion! An Auspicious Beast, an Auspicious Beast! Tian Meng, you ***"
Listening to the argument in his mind...
Huo Yuhao also realized something was wrong. Wrong, very wrong...
"This Soul Beast..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish...
Tang Chuan appeared in an instant and pulled all three behind him. Then, staring at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the corner of his mouth twitched. "Sure enough, I had good reason to follow you..."
"Teacher, what exactly is..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish his question, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion instantly became alert, bristling and hissing at them.
"Hiss!"
With that hiss from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the surrounding temperature suddenly surged to a boil. Endless flames swept forth, and the Scarlet King's figure appeared in the forest ahead.
"Roar!"
The Scarlet King's might was terrifying indeed.
"Humans, such audacity! You dare covet the Emperor Auspicious Beast!"
The Scarlet King let out a series of low growls, his eyes filled with icy killing intent. At this sight, Tang Chuan's gaze also grew grave.
