Heaven Dou City.
Lin Xiao was speechless upon learning that Zi Ji had left without a word, leaving the Emperor Auspicious Beast behind in Heaven Dou City.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast's mind was as immature as a middle schooler from his previous life, perhaps even less so.
She constantly pestered him, asking if he wanted to have children. Did she want him to lay an egg with her?
Feng Yu, however, said:
"The ultimate light and fire attributes, the ultimate power possessed by the Golden Dragon King bloodline, and the vessel of destiny for the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Lin Xiao, you truly shouldn't underestimate this Emperor Auspicious Beast; her potential is extraordinarily high, and upon growth, she will at least reach the God King level."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.
"Yes, it would be even stronger if the Golden Dragon King were to die and transfer its power to her."
"But the problem is, how old is she right now? By the time she reaches that level, I'll probably have grandchildren running around, many generations deep."
Feng Yu chuckled.
"Soul Beasts do indeed cultivate slowly in the lower realms. Why not bring her up to the God Realm for training? Overall, she's still a promising prospect."
Lin Xiao pouted.
"Forget it. We don't even know when the Silver Dragon King's seal will be broken. Leaving her there is just a ticking time bomb."
"Hmm, speaking of which, leaving the Emperor Auspicious Beast here seems quite good. Isn't she just a hostage in disguise? She could be useful in a critical moment."
Feng Yu snorted.
"A mere Silver Dragon King. Once my strength recovers, I'll let you witness firsthand how I beat her up."
Lin Xiao asked tentatively.
"Are you planning to fight her or kill her?"
"Actually, the Silver Dragon King and the Dragon God are completely different individuals, aren't they..."
Feng Yu glanced at Lin Xiao.
"What, you can't bear to part with her?"
"That's not the case. Both you and I have signed the Phoenix Blood Contract. Do you think I'm that unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
Lin Xiao said, "I'm just asking for your opinion. If you want to fight, fight. If you want to kill, kill. No matter what, I'll stand by your side."
Feng Yu was silent for a moment.
"Never mind, the Dragon God is already dead."
"The reason I target these younger dragon clan members is simply because I have some pent-up frustration. In reality, we have no fundamental conflict of interest with Gu Yuena."
If there were any contradictions, it would be within the Soul Beast faction regarding who should be the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts.
Of course, Feng Yu could choose not to pursue it.
But if Gu Yuena decided to make an issue of it, then she couldn't be blamed.
...
Spirit Hall.
Qian Renxue returned with Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo.
Sunlight illuminated the golden-haired girl's back, making her appear like an earthly angel.
Qian Daoliu showed no surprise at his granddaughter's arrival; intelligence scouts from Heaven Dou City had already informed him.
Qian Daoliu simply asked, "Do you have any regrets?"
"I acted according to my heart. How could I have regrets?"
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Grandfather, I've returned to complete the Angel God's Examination."
Qian Daoliu examined his granddaughter from head to toe. Seeing that her expression and demeanor were genuine, and that her entire being exuded a sense of clarity from within.
It seemed Xue'er had truly grown up...
Qian Daoliu smiled.
"Since you've already made your decision, don't regret it. Just as you said, follow your heart."
With that, Qian Daoliu casually took down the sword hanging on the wall.
"From now on, I will be your sparring partner."
Qian Daoliu stood there quietly, his mountain-like aura pressing down on Qian Renxue, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She had just returned to Spirit Hall and was about to undergo rigorous training, yet Qian Renxue did not feel tired. Instead, a genuine smile appeared on her face.
"Grandfather, please do not hold back."
"Naturally."
Sea God Island.
Shui Bing'er had completed the sixth trial of the Sea God.
She managed to last for the time it takes an incense stick to burn under Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, barely achieving it with her powerful Ultimate Ice and Ice Burst Technique.
Next was the seventh trial of the Sea God.
She needed to conquer the Divine Artifact, the Sea God Trident, which weighed a hundred and eight thousand jin.
After completing the seventh trial of the Sea God and during the process of accepting the eighth trial, she would have free time to return to the continent to visit her parents and Lin Xiao.
Keep going.
...
Slaughter City.
Tang San, who had completed the seventh trial of the Asura God, found that his Asura God's trial had stalled again.
He had clearly finished the seventh trial of the Asura God, but the eighth trial had not appeared yet, which made Tang San increasingly irritable. He was almost tempted to curse.
"Damn it! What the hell is the Asura God doing?!"
Tang San knew that Lin Xiao also had an Asura God's trial. He was rushing to catch up, only to be stuck for such a bizarre reason.
He really wanted to go mad!
In fact, Tang San's God's Examination being stuck was naturally the work of the Asura God.
Tang San was indeed his chosen successor, but Lin Xiao's performance was too outstanding. The Asura God even felt that as long as Lin Xiao wanted to, he could quickly complete the Asura God's trial within a year.
But the problem was, what was Lin Xiao doing? Why hadn't he started the God's Examination yet?
The Asura God couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he tried. It couldn't be that his dignified God King-level Godhood was disliked by Lin Xiao, right?
He could only try to slow down Tang San's progress, hoping that Lin Xiao would start the God's Examination as soon as possible.
Tang San, due to the delayed God's Examination, was not staying in Slaughter City.
He had just gone out to get some air.
He also wanted to see what the current situation on the continent was like, and it was then that he was found by people from the Clear Sky Sect who had been looking for him.
"Young Master! We finally found you!"
The middle-aged steward said excitedly, "I am an outer elder of the Clear Sky Sect. Young Master, our Clear Sky Sect only has nine old, weak, sick, and disabled members left. We can only rely on you to continue our bloodline."
"Please come back with me. Young Master, you can focus on your cultivation. You just need to favor a few women as much as possible at night."
"As long as we have a few more descendants with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Sect lineage might be able to prosper again under your leadership!"
Tang San looked coldly at the outer elder.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Are you treating me like a stud?"
The outer elder quickly explained.
"No, Young Master, it's just that the sect is already depleted of talent, and we have no choice but to resort to this!"
Tang San had undergone several God's Examinations in Slaughter City. Due to his conflict with Tang Yuehua, he did not receive her help to control the killing intent on his body as he did in the original story.
He looked coldly at the middle-aged steward.
"Now, disappear from my sight!"
"Since there are only nine old, weak, sick, and disabled people, there's no need for them to live anymore. The Clear Sky Hammer doesn't need to be passed down!"
"As long as I'm alive, I am the inheritance!"
The middle-aged steward wanted to persuade him further.
But in the next moment, a dart coated with poison suddenly pierced his chest.
Caught off guard, the middle-aged steward's eyes widened in disbelief.
In his dying moments, he recalled Tang Yuehua's words.
"He's just an ungrateful little brat..."
Then he fell stiffly to the ground.
Tang San sneered.
"An ignorant fool."
Tang San took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the desire to kill wantonly in his heart.
He needed to first check if the Grandmaster was still alive.
