Liu San also realized that he shouldn't be afraid of Ling Yi.
But this is instinct; it doesn't mean that if you think it shouldn't happen, it won't.
"Brother Ling Yi, is this Soul Beast?" Liu Wufeng quickly came to his senses.
Looking at the Peashooter in Ling Yi's hand, she felt both curious and envious.
Wow, Soul Beast Master are this powerful!
If I became Soul Beast Master, wouldn't I be just as powerful!
Moreover, my father said that once you become Soul Beast Master, you can earn one or two taels of silver a month!
Liu Shilin's eyes were also full of curiosity.
But unlike Liu Wufeng, Liu Wufeng curiosity was very simple.
But there was a lot of unspoken meaning in Liu Shilin's gaze.
This seemingly simple-minded boy, who never utters a word, probably has his own secrets.
Ling Yi had already noticed the abnormality in this kid's soul.
I reckon there's a Old Liu hiding inside this kid!
Ling Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him; as long as this guy didn't try to provoke him, that was fine.
However, none of them were transmigrators from Blue Star.
Because of the Myriad Worlds Launcher, transmigrators can sense each other.
Clearly, none of the three had Launcher.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi Peashooter vanishing, appearing directly in his Sea of Consciousness consciousness.
Ling Yi can Summon at any time, whenever he desires it.
"I have Awakening Stone, so I can test whether you have a natal Soul Beast and an awakened Soul Beast at any time."
Ling Yi took out the purplish-black cesium Awakening Stone and said.
"As for how I obtained the Awakening Stone, don't ask. I won't tell you even if you do."
Both Liu Wufeng and Liu Shilin looked at each other with great interest, especially Liu Shilin, who was already quite impatient.
"However, I do not recommend that you conduct tests or awaken your Beast Soul now."
"After all, Awakening Stone have long been monopolized by the Beast Soul Academy. If you awaken your powers rashly, you'll likely encounter many problems."
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, Liu Shilin suddenly said, "There are two types of awakening: one is passive awakening through Awakening Stone, and the other is Natural Awakening!"
Hey, that Old Liu was pretending to be mute finally spoke! He's not pretending anymore, huh?
" Liu Shilin, you... you can speak?" Liu San exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm sorry, Father, I kept it a secret for some reasons, but I meant you no harm," Liu Shilin said apologetically to Liu San.
Liu San looked at Liu Shilin, then at Ling Yi, and finally at his own son Liu Wufeng.
At this moment, he felt somewhat exhausted.
Liu Shilin was someone he found himself, and Ling Yi was a stray who ended up in Liu Village and was then adopted by him.
Good grief, are there any ordinary people among you?
"What's your real name?" Liu San asked.
Liu Shilin shook his head. "I can't reveal my real name, otherwise there will definitely be trouble, and you will all be implicated."
"From now on, I am Liu Shilin!"
Another one that can't be said.
At this moment, Liu Wufeng said, " Shilin, do you mean it's okay for us to awaken now?"
Liu Shilin nodded. "It's alright. If someone smells it, just say you awakened it yourself. As long as you don't say you used Awakening Stone, it'll be fine."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that you must have a natal Beast Soul!"
At this point, Liu Shilin looked at Ling Yi and said, " Ling Yi, I want to awaken now!"
You should know those bandits, right?
"I know them, but it's best you don't know who they are. However, don't worry, they have nothing to do with me."
"I suspect their presence here is related to the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, or more precisely, to the Nine-Headed Python within Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge."
Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Liu Shilin continued to explain, " The Nine-Headed Python is Third Tier wild Soul Beast, well, if it hasn't advanced to the next level."
"With each advancement in First Tier, the Nine-Headed Python gains one more head and one more innate skill. Third Tier Nine-Headed Python has three heads and possesses three Innate Divine Ability: ice, fire, and poison."
"If we can kill the Nine-Headed Python, there's a very high chance it will grant the Soul Beast at least one Divine Ability. The Nine-Headed Python's territory is about 150 miles north of Liu Village."
"However, not many people know about the Nine-Headed Python. The reason these people are trying to kill us is because they're worried that if we find out about the Nine-Headed Python, it will leak out."
After a pause, Liu Shilin added, "Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"
Liu San's face changed drastically. "Then wouldn't our Liu Village be in great danger?"
Liu Shilin nodded and said, "Judging from these people's style of doing things, I'm afraid none of the people in Liu Village will survive."
"How could this happen? No, I have to go back. At least I need to inform the people of Liu Village Liu Village leave as soon as possible."
Liu Shilin sighed and said, "Father, there's no use going back now!"
" Shilin, you..." Liu San was somewhat angry.
He believed he had treated Liu Shilin well, practically raising him like his own son, but he never expected Liu Shilin to abandon him in his time of need and back down at the last minute.
But for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Ultimately, neither Liu Shilin nor Ling Yi were from Liu Village; they were outsiders.
Liu Shilin naturally knew what Liu San was thinking, and said helplessly, "Father, I didn't say I didn't want to save them, but we need to be mindful of our methods."
"There are two ways to save Liu Village. One is to eliminate the person who covets the Nine-Headed Python. Once that person is dead, no one will covet the Nine-Headed Python, and Liu Village's problem will naturally be solved."
"Leaving aside whether that person is easy or difficult to kill, once we kill him, we'll likely have nowhere to go in the Qianwu Empire."
At this point, even though Liu Shilin didn't reveal the person's identity, Liu San and Ling Yi could roughly guess who it was.
It must be related to the Qianwu Soul Beast Academy or the higher-ups of the Qianwu Empire.
"Whether they're saved or not, there probably isn't much difference, right?" Liu San said.
At that time, although they will save Liu Village, Liu Village will likely be implicated as a result.
Will the Qianwu Empire let Liu Village go?
That's impossible.
"Therefore, before we make our move, we need to get the people of Liu Village to leave in advance, heading east towards the Dongwu Empire."
Liu San frowned. The Dongwu Empire was a neighboring country of the Qianwu Empire.
To reach the Animal Empire, one must cross the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, and even circling around its outer perimeter is extremely dangerous.
The Liu Village are all ordinary people; I'm afraid that by the time they reach the Dongwu Empire, not many of them will survive.
Liu San glanced at Ling Yi and said, "Why don't we head to the Dongwu Empire together now?"
Ling Yi has now become Soul Beast Master, and a very powerful one at that. With him protecting them, their safety will be greatly enhanced.
Ling Yi remained silent; he didn't care.
He can go anywhere, whether it's the Qianwu Empire or the Dongwu Empire.
Liu Shilin glanced at Ling Yi and said, "The second method is to spread the news that the Nine-Headed Python is in Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge."
"Wild Soul Beast like the Nine-Headed Python are extremely rare and precious. They will inevitably attract many forces to fight over them. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, that person will naturally not dare to make a move against Liu Village for the sake of his reputation."
Ling Yi rolled her eyes. This was the only way, wasn't it? All that talk from before was just nonsense.
Well, that's not entirely useless. This kid's a bit cunning. He's figured out how capable I am and clearly wants to use me to get rid of that person, right?
Scheming against yourself? Fine, you're something else. No wonder you're the Old Liu.
"But we need to be quick. The death of these people will surely alert that man, and based on what I know of him, he will most likely make his move sooner rather than later."
"Therefore, we must get to Ten Thousand Longevities Town ahead of time and spread the news of the Nine-Headed Python as soon as possible!"
"But we have no oxcarts or horses now, how can we get to Ten Thousand Longevities Town ahead of time?" Liu San asked anxiously.
Ling Yi's lips twitched. This kid had been talking for so long, but he'd come full circle again.
But you can't say that someone's analysis is wrong.
This guy seems to be deliberately leading the conversation, making it sound like it's dangerous no matter what.
Crossing the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge is fraught with difficulties, dangers, and perils.
Killing that almost Nine-Headed Python -like person outright would likely result in being wanted by the Qianwu Empire.
Hmm, so tedious!
"You guys should awaken first!" Ling Yi took out the Awakening Stone and handed it to Liu Wufeng.
Liu Wufeng instinctively took the Awakening Stone.
The moment it comes into contact with the Awakening Stone Awakening Stone, it begins to emit a purplish aura.
Liu San also temporarily put aside everything else and looked anxiously at his son.
The fact that the Awakening Stone is glowing means that Liu Wufeng has a natal soul beast.
Liu Wufeng instinctively closed his eyes, and the Awakening Stone's aura intensified at that moment, before quickly receding.
This is essentially the complete awakening.
Next, it was Liu Wufeng's turn to communicate with his natal Soul Beast.
Ten minutes later, Liu Wufeng opened his eyes, and the next moment, a skinny Houzi appeared at his feet.
Liu Wufeng's Divine Power was naturally no match for Ling Yi's.
Therefore, Summon your own Soul Beast for the first time is quite difficult and consumes a great deal of energy.
He was pale-faced, yet looking at the Houzi at his feet with immense joy.
However, the Houzi only existed for a dozen seconds before it transformed into a stream of light and entered his mind.
Low Divine Power not only Summon difficult, but also prevents the Summon Soul Beast from lasting for long.
It's already quite remarkable that this Soul Beast could exist for more than ten seconds on its first Summon.
"A beast-type Combat -type Soul Beast, not bad!" Liu Shilin nodded.
"But this Houzi seems so weak!" Liu Wufeng was somewhat dissatisfied.
Ling Yi's Soul Beast, though it looked weak, started rampaging and killing as soon as it was Summon.
My Soul Beast was gone before it had even done anything.
The difference is just too big!
"Don't compare yourself to Ling Yi. Ling Yi has a special type of Soul Beast. These kinds of Soul Beast are rare to begin with, and special type Soul Beast that are geared towards Combat are even rarer."
"Furthermore, Ling Yi's Divine Power is very strong; otherwise, he wouldn't possess such power at the Zero Tier," Liu Shilin explained.
"However, beast-type Combat Soul Beast have an advantage that other Soul Beast don't have: they can allow Soul Beast Master to Beast Transformation, greatly increasing the Soul Beast Master's strength."
"You'll learn all of these when you get to the Soul Beast Academy."
After saying that, Liu Shilin looked at the Awakening Stone in Liu Wufeng's hand.
Liu Wufeng then glanced at Ling Yi.
Only after seeing Ling Yi nod did he hand the Awakening Stone to Liu Shilin.
Thank you!
Ling Yi curled his lip and said, "Thanks are unnecessary. Just don't scheme against me in the future. If you want me to help, just say so. All this beating around the bush is pointless!"
If it weren't for saving face for Liu San, Ling Yi would have already given this guy a good beating.
"Uh!" Liu Shilin a wry smile.
"Actually, I..."
"No need for explanation. Since that person has reservations, let's make him even more reserved!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he Summon the Peashooter and turned to walk deeper into the forest.
