Shrek, the Ferocious Beasts, and Xu Tianwan: Every One a Master Bird-Snatcher
"Whether it is or not, you'll find out by trying."
As he spoke, Di Tian raised his hand and wiped his hair.
With that one stroke, the lion's head, which had been blasted by lightning, instantly returned to its original state, its long black and gold hair cascading down like a waterfall, still magnificent as ever.
After restoring his hairstyle, Di Tian dragged the Chi Wang, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, over to him.
"Wait, wait a minute! Di Tian, what are you doing?!"
The Chi Wang struggled in terror.
"Let me go! I won't be a guinea pig!!"
Despite his frantic struggles, digging deep furrows in the ground with his four paws, he was still firmly pinned down by Di Tian, and his three heads were slammed to the ground with a "thud."
The Chi Wang looked aggrieved, his eyes filled with resentment as he glared at Di Tian: "Di Tian, I am a dignified Ferocious Beast, yet you humiliate me like this."
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate the weak and vulnerable."
"Smack!"
The Chi Wang received a solid slap on the back of the head.
Di Tian snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Thirty years? Even if I gave you three hundred thousand years, it wouldn't be of any use."
Chi Wang: "..."
Waaaaah...
Don't hit a person in the face, and don't expose a beast's weaknesses!
Lin Mo, watching this scene, couldn't help but twitch his lips. Soul Beast actually enjoy reading novels?
"Alright, Mystic Bird." Di Tian patted the Chi Wang's head. "Next, I'll have the Chi Wang teach you how to control the Ultimate Fire. Just follow along and learn. If he can't teach you well..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Chi Wang shuddered violently, and his three heads nodded repeatedly.
"I'll teach! I'll teach! I'll teach with all my heart!!"
The Sun Moon Empire, the Crown Prince's Palace.
It was already dark, and the palace, which was not yet lit, was dimly lit.
Xu Tianwan sat in a wheelchair, dressed in thin clothes, wearing only a simple outer robe, her fingertips lightly tapping the handles of the wheelchair.
The usual faint smile remained on her face.
The smile didn't reach his eyes.
"You mean, Shrek lost me in the Great Star Dou Forest?" Xu Tianwan's voice was cool and gentle, like thin ice that hadn't melted in spring.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xue Chen knelt before her, his head bowed low, motionless.
For a moment, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
"Snap!"
A sharp, metallic cracking sound suddenly rang out. Xue Chen raised her eyes slightly and saw that the rocker arm of the wheelchair had been snapped in two by Xu Tianwan.
This wheelchair was specially made of rare metals and was itself a high-level Soul Tool, yet it was crushed by Xu Tianwan's seemingly slender and long hands.
Xu Tianwan slowly opened her palm.
Shards of broken metal fell through her fingers and scattered on the ground.
"Lin Mo was originally my man. I only temporarily stored him at Shrek out of respect for them. Since Shrek can't protect him..."
Her faint smile remained unchanged, but her eyes grew colder and colder.
"Then return the person to me."
A seemingly casual remark carried immense Qian Jun in Xue Chen's ears.
"Yes!"
Xue Chen's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. He lowered his head abruptly and disappeared from the room in a flash.
The room fell silent once more.
In the dim light, Youyou purple glow quietly appeared in Xu Tianwan's eyes.
Lin Mo's image reappeared in her mind, and the coldness in her eyes gradually dissipated.
Xu Tianwan lowered her eyes, her fingertips gently stroking the broken joystick fragments, and murmured softly, "Since ancient times, the Mystic Bird has been paired with the Human Emperor, and I am the Human Emperor who is about to ascend the throne."
The thought that after unifying the continent, he would present the entire land to the Mystic Bird would inspire the Mystic Bird to look up to him with a submissive expression.
A morbid sense of excitement welled up uncontrollably in Xu Tianwan's heart.
"Only I am worthy of the Mystic Bird."
"The Mystic Bird should also be solitary."
Over the next ten days or so, Di Tian, Chi Wang, Bi Ji, and Xiong Jun took turns giving Lin Mo one-on-one special training.
This was actually Bi Ji's idea.
Because teaching is the easiest way to build relationships.
Di Tian was responsible for teaching cultivation and stabilizing the foundation.
Bi Ji was responsible for teaching Spiritual Power and nurturing the soul.
The Chi Wang was responsible for teaching Lin Mo how to control the Ultimate Fire, from a wisp of flame to a sea of fire, leaving no detail unattended.
Xiong Jun was responsible for continuing to hone and refine Lin Mo's physical body, teaching him close-quarters combat techniques and ultimate explosive power.
Lin Mo was absolutely thrilled.
He could clearly feel that his strength was increasing at an alarming rate!
His cultivation progressed smoothly, his Sea of Spirit became increasingly stable, and he went from barely controlling the Ultimate Fire to using it as an extension of his own limb. His physical body also grew stronger day by day, and he could punch a large crater in a boulder with a single punch.
The feeling was like land that had been parched for over a decade suddenly receiving rain after rain.
With each increase in his strength, he gained a greater ability to protect himself on this cruel continent.
However, what he didn't know was that the four Ferocious Beast, including Di Tian, were secretly alarmed. In just over ten days, the Mystic Bird's growth rate had far exceeded their expectations.
With Lin Mo's current strength, taking on a five-thousand-year-old Soul Beast by himself wouldn't be a problem.
Even against Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, as long as your cultivation level is no more than 80,000 years, running away and saving your life is not a problem at all!
As expected of the Black Mystic Bird favored by Heavenly Dao.
That day.
"Senior, you were looking for me?"
Lin Mo raised his hands high, stretched lazily, and slowly walked to Di Tian.
Having lived in the core area for more than ten days, Lin Mo had long since changed out of the clothes he wore when he first arrived. Right now, he was only wearing a simple sleeveless vest and a pair of durable work pants, with the waistband tightened by a hemp rope.
Without the robe to conceal him, the boy's figure was fully exposed.
Lin Mo was tall and slender, but not thin. His back was straight as a pine tree, and his forearms and arms had smooth lines covered with a thin layer of muscle, firm but not exaggerated.
Beneath his vest, a few well-defined abdominal muscles were faintly visible. They weren't the bulging, muscular kind, but rather thin, evenly proportioned muscles, giving him a lean and resilient appearance.
To avoid having her view obstructed, Lin Mo simply swept her hair back completely.
Her smooth forehead and bright black eyes were exposed.
As his hair had grown a little longer, he casually grabbed a piece of straw rope and tied it into a small ponytail at the back of his head.
A gentle breeze blew by, and a few strands of hair swayed softly.
The boy walked against the morning light, exuding a natural freshness and vitality.
Without the harassment from Huo Yuhao and his gang, and after taking more than ten days off, Lin Mo's listlessness and unhealthy demeanor completely disappeared. He was now full of energy, as if he were a completely different person.
Upon hearing this, Di Tian did not speak immediately.
He stood there, hands behind his back, his lips moved slightly, then he pursed them back.
This Beast God, who had roamed the continent for hundreds of thousands of years and struck fear into the hearts of countless human Soul Master, was now unusually... nervous.
After a while.
"Cough."
He cleared his throat and walked up to Lin Mo.
Beside him, both Bi Ji and the Chi Wang were giving him encouraging looks.
