After coming back to his senses, Lin Chuan nodded and answered softly:
"Ah Yin, you guessed exactly right. The little rabbit I held as I slept last night was indeed a soul beast who had undergone Soul Beast Transformation. As for why she felt familiar to you, like someone you had met before, I imagine you must know her."
"This little rabbit is named Xiao Wu, and she has a mother named Ah Rou."
"But some years ago, Ah Rou was surrounded and attacked by human Soul Masters and became a human's Soul Ring. Xiao Wu, that little rabbit, took human form and entered human society because she wanted to grow stronger, then avenge her mother with her own hands."
The moment he said this, Ah Yin remembered.
Back then, there had indeed been two hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbits in the Star Dou Great Forest.
These two Soft Bone Rabbits were mother and daughter, and she had been very close to them.
But later, unwilling to face heavenly tribulations in the future, and curious about human society herself, she had chosen to take human form and venture into human society.
After entering human society, she had been quite happy at first, but then she had met that beast Tang Hao.
Forget it. Better not mention that beast.
Bringing him up only covered her in bad luck.
After a moment of silence, Ah Yin sighed and said with some wistfulness:
"Truly, the world remains, but its people have changed, and all is over. Back then, I was very close to Xiao Wu and Ah Rou. I never imagined that Ah Rou would ultimately become someone else's Soul Ring."
"But from what you said last night, Ah Rou presumably has a chance of being resurrected."
"Only, that hope is far too slim. The road to godhood is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Throughout history, how many dazzling geniuses have been stuck at Titled Douluo, unable to advance any further?"
"Still, having that sliver of hope is better than living in the endless pain of revenge."
Lin Chuan nodded, not denying that point.
Having hope was better than having none.
But the road to godhood was too difficult.
Of course, that only applied to the natives of the Douluo Continent.
Lin Chuan was a transmigrator, and one with a system at that.
Becoming a god would not be difficult at all.
Even without a godhood, he could still achieve Self-Created Godhood.
And obtaining that power of faith could hardly be easier.
In fact, there was one very important thing Lin Chuan had not told Xiao Wu last night.
Namely, there was a chance of obtaining a Resurrection Card through his system's ten-pull draws.
But he would have to be possessed by the god of luck to draw one.
And once he had a Resurrection Card, he would not need a Soul Bone to resurrect Ah Rou. He could resurrect her directly.
But the drop rate for a Resurrection Card was absurdly low, like sifting through a trash can for gold.
Still, however absurdly low the odds were, it was better than nothing, right?
Besides, as long as he kept drawing, he refused to believe he would never get one.
Lin Chuan turned toward Zhang Lexuan and asked:
"Sister Lexuan, how is the task I gave you last night coming along? This is some huge dirt on Tang Hao. I can't wait for everyone on the continent to see his true colors."
Meeting Lin Chuan's gaze, Zhang Lexuan involuntarily recalled the scene of her forcibly kissing him last night, and her cheeks immediately began to redden.
But she maintained her composure and answered:
"Little Chuan, I've already distributed all the Image-Recording Stones you gave me last night. I even hired a group of people specifically to make it faster. In less than three days, word of Tang Hao's beastly deeds will definitely spread across the entire Douluo Continent."
Without realizing it, Zhang Lexuan had begun addressing Lin Chuan with the somewhat intimate "Little Chuan."
Lin Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
If there were a ranking of who would lose their composure the most when Tang Hao's true colors were exposed...
Then the Clear Sky Sect would undoubtedly take first place.
One thing had to be understood: it was precisely the mess Tang Hao had caused back then that had led to Spirit Hall beating the Clear Sky Sect into sealing its gates.
Not only had the sect been beaten into seclusion, but many of its geniuses had also died in that great battle.
With that alone, how could the Clear Sky Sect possibly not hate Tang Hao?
He did not dwell on the matter any further.
Judging by the time, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang would probably arrive at the Soul Hunting Forest soon.
He had to go to the Soul Hunting Forest first and prepare everything.
At this thought, Lin Chuan immediately smiled.
Then he looked at Ah Yin and said:
"Ah Yin, didn't you want to see the beast occupying your real child's body? You'll be able to see him very soon. When the time comes, extract every last bit of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline from his body."
At these words, Ah Yin's eyes lit up.
This was the moment she had been waiting for.
That outsider possessing her Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline was simply intolerable. She had to extract all of it.
Two days passed in a flash.
During those two days, Lin Chuan had naturally not been idle either, arriving at the Soul Hunting Forest ahead of Yu Xiaogang and the others.
He had also set up all sorts of bizarre things inside the Soul Hunting Forest.
And these bizarre arrangements were naturally all tailor-made for Little Scumbag and Yu Xiaogang.
Of course, Lin Chuan had not forgotten the Goblin Summoning Card tucked away in his System Space as his hidden trump card.
This was his ultimate trump card, his absolute final king bomb.
Lin Chuan intended to let Little Scumbag and Yu Xiaogang, that master-and-disciple pair, get a proper taste today of what true goblins were and what goblin cruelty meant. No, for Yu Xiaogang, it would probably be enjoyment, not cruelty at all.
It was just a bit of a pity for Scar Bro.
Such a mighty warrior would have to wait until later to make his entrance.
He wondered whether, after today, once Yu Xiaogang had taken the shape of the goblins, Scar Bro would become picky and reject him later on.
But on second thought...
That probably would not happen.
As the saying went:
A flower of the Douluo Continent, yet only Scar loved Xiaogang.
At the entrance to the Soul Hunting Forest.
Two people arrived, one middle-aged and one young.
Leading the way was a middle-aged man with a zombie-like face. Naturally, it was Yu Xiaogang.
The younger one had dark skin and a short stature. Naturally, this was Little Scumbag.
After entering the Soul Hunting Forest...
Tang San immediately grew excited. As long as he obtained his First Soul Ring today, he would have to trample Lin Chuan underfoot once he returned to Nuoding Academy.
As they walked...
Yu Xiaogang suddenly spotted a very tall bamboo by the roadside and introduced it:
"Little San, this is Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo. It's very suitable for your Blue Silver Grass."
As he said this, he spotted another very tall bamboo and immediately blurted out in surprise:
"It's actually a hundred-year Lone Bamboo! And judging by its age, it should be close to three hundred years old. Little San, if we don't find a suitable Soul Ring for you in the forest, we can save this hundred-year Lone Bamboo for you. It's extremely tough and flexible, making it an excellent match for your Blue Silver Grass."
