Lin Chuan: Absorb the Three-Eyed Golden Lion? That'll Be the Death of Me!

Everyone present was astonished to hear that.

If she could sense it through a Martial Soul on the level of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, then this Soul Beast was definitely no ordinary creature.

Lin Chuan couldn't help asking, "Teacher, how old is this Soul Beast?"

Qian Xunji's beautiful eyes lit up.

"Roughly five thousand years old."

"If you can absorb this Soul Beast, Chuan'er, it will definitely be a tremendous help to your Angel of Hope."

Hearing this, Lin Chuan grew even more eager.

On the Douluo Continent, light-attribute Soul Beasts were already hard to find. Finding one with a pure attribute and the right age was even more a matter of luck than effort.

He hadn't expected to find one that met his needs perfectly.

He thought, I didn't expect my luck to be this good. I actually found one in a single day this time.

Under the cover of Lin Chuan's Soul Skill, the five of them headed toward their target.

A clear stream ran through a natural valley.

Strange flowers and exotic plants grew all around it, making it look like a fairyland.

Atop a huge boulder in the valley stood a Soul Beast that looked extraordinarily noble at first glance.

She was very small and covered in golden fur. Her whole body had a peculiar texture, like transparent crystal.

She looked much like a lion, but her four little paws were like dragon claws, each resting on a ball of golden flame.

Beneath her fur were tiny golden scales.

Besides her two golden eyes, she had a third, vertical eye on her forehead.

Even as she lay lazily on the boulder, basking in the sunlight, her rich light presence made people feel warm and soothed.

At the sight, even Qian Xunji nearly stopped breathing.

As the Pope, what kind of Soul Beast had she not seen?

But this was the first time she had seen a Soul Beast as peculiar as this one.

Even the Spirit Hall's records seemed to contain no mention of this Soul Beast.

"She has such an incredibly pure light attribute!"

"Chuan'er, she's simply the perfect Second Soul Ring for you."

By this point, Lin Chuan, standing beside Qian Xunji, had long since frozen in place.

Holy crap!

Holy crap!

What the hell is that?

Those dragon claws, that appearance, Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire.

How the hell is that a five-thousand-year-old light-attribute Soul Beast?

That's clearly the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the embodiment of the fortune of the Soul Beast Clan in the Star Dou Great Forest!

How did this little ancestor end up here?

Qian Xunji, Yue Guan and Gui Mei didn't know. In fact, no one in the human Soul Master World even knew the Emperor Auspicious Beast existed.

Even Lin Chuan only knew of the Emperor Auspicious Beast's existence because he had read Peerless Tang Sect in his previous life.

Otherwise, he really would have thought she was a Soul Beast around five thousand years old.

If he were to absorb the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, it would probably cost him his life.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation age and actual age were exactly the same.

Although this Three-Eyed Golden Lion only displayed five thousand years of cultivation, she really was five thousand years old.

Unlike certain Soul Beasts, whose cultivation might amount to five thousand years but whose actual age might be only one or two thousand years.

With five thousand years of cultivation, this Three-Eyed Golden Lion could contend with a Soul Beast at least thirty thousand years old.

Even if he wanted to absorb her, it wouldn't be that easy.

And what was the most crucial point?

The Ferocious Beasts of the entire Star Dou Great Forest stood behind this damn little ancestor.

She could accelerate the cultivation of Soul Beasts, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest treasured her.

If she were hurt, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Xiong Jun, and the Scarlet King, the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff...

Not one of those beasts would likely let him off.

Although there didn't seem to be any Ferocious Beasts around this little ancestor right now, and she might have slipped out to play, that was only how things looked.

But if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion died or cried out for help, the Beast God Di Tian would probably descend the very next moment.

At present, the only one in Spirit Hall who could probably stand against Di Tian was the Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu.

But the problem was, this was the Star Dou Great Forest.

If they were at Spirit Hall, Lin Chuan had no doubt that even Di Tian would have to think twice.

But this was their home turf. He reckoned even Qian Daoliu would have a hard time here.

And who was in their party right now?

His teacher Qian Xunji, a Titled Douluo, and two level eighty-nine Soul Douluo.

In the ordinary Soul Master World, a lineup like that could swagger wherever it pleased.

But before those Ferocious Beasts, they would probably meet disaster in no time.

This wasn't getting a Second Soul Ring; it was throwing their lives away.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

At the thought that Lin Chuan would advance by leaps and bounds if he absorbed this Soul Beast,

a flash of resolve crossed Qian Xunji's eyes, and she said,

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, remember to block her escape routes. Whatever you do, don't let her get away."

"I'll make the first move and subdue her, then Chuan'er can obtain his Second Soul Ring."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei nodded solemnly.

They looked ready to strike the moment Qian Xunji gave the order.

Hearing that Qian Xunji was about to act, Lin Chuan hurriedly stopped her.

"Teacher, let's find another Soul Beast!"

Having found such a suitable Soul Beast, Qian Xunji couldn't help finding it strange that Lin Chuan would refuse, seemingly without even giving a reason.

She felt that this was unlike her disciple.

But Lin Chuan had no way to explain.

He couldn't very well tell Qian Xunji that this was the Emperor Auspicious Beast and that Di Tian would descend from the sky the moment he absorbed her, could he?

At that moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had been lazily basking in the sun, noticed the movement around her.

*?*

There are humans here?

Through her third, vertical eye, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could clearly see several humans hiding in the light.

As a being of Ultimate Light, she was extremely sensitive to light.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion sprang to her feet.

A soft, sweet, childish voice rang out.

"Hey! You people hiding in the light over there."

"How did you manage to hide yourselves in the light?"

"That's amazing! Even I almost couldn't spot you!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion pattered excitedly forward in little steps, looking at the group with some curiosity.

As for humans daring to hurt her?

How could these people, who were not even as strong as the Scarlet King, possibly pose a threat to her?

Qian Xunji frowned.

She hadn't expected Chuan'er's concealment to be seen through.

And this five-thousand-year-old Soul Beast could actually talk?

Yue Guan's pretty face went blank as well.

He looked at Gui Mei beside him. "That Soul Beast spoke?"

Gui Mei nodded stiffly.

Bibi Dong was instantly won over by the adorable little golden beast.

"She sounds so cute when she talks."

Lin Chuan, meanwhile, was speechless.

He had been hoping to get his teacher to slip away with him.

But now, unexpectedly, the Emperor Auspicious Beast had taken the initiative to speak to them.

Before the others could react, Lin Chuan spoke up.

"It's an ability of my Soul Skill."

"My name is Lin Chuan. What's yours?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion wagged her tail cheerfully and said,

"My name is Three-Eyed Golden Lion."

"Human, your name is Lin Chuan, right?"

"Quick, teach me how to hide myself in the light."

"I finally managed to sneak out today. If I learn that trick of yours, won't Di Tian and the Scarlet King and the others be unable to catch me?"

"Then I can sneak out and play every day."
