"Not bad, both Da Ming and Er Ming are stronger than Xiao Bai, the only downside is... Ordinary hundred-thousand-year land soul beasts don't have the ability to shift into half-human forms like sea soul beasts!" Ye Wen was somewhat satisfied.
It was unfortunate that they couldn't shift into a half-human form. This meant that they couldn't use their overwhelming strength to act in the human world. After all, if they turned back into soul beast form in a city, they would scare everyone out of their wits!
Of course, not all land soul beasts were incapable of shifting into a half-human form. For instance, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian could do so.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, condense your soul rings."
"Yes! Boss!"
The two immediately sat down on the ground, beginning to condense their first soul rings in human form. Like Xie Hu and Xiao Bai, their first ring was a 500-year ring, and their soul power surpassed level 13.
Da Ming's first soul skill was Sky Blue Bind, a control-type skill, indicating that Da Ming would focus on control-type soul master techniques.
Er Ming's first soul skill was Titan Ape Body, which enhanced the body with the Titan Giant Ape's incredible defensive skin. It was an amplification skill that enhanced the body's attributes, primarily boosting defense and strength, making it a dual attack and defense type soul master.
Now that Da Ming and Er Ming were dealt with, Ye Wen decided to ask about Di Tian's fierce beasts and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Ye Wen asked, "Da Ming, Er Ming, do you know the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian?"
"Of course, Di Tian is known as the Beast God among our Star Dou Forest soul beast tribe!" The Sky Blue Bull Python's eyes glowed with admiration and awe.
Ye Wen's eyes lit up, "Oh? Then do you know where Di Tian and the other hundred-thousand-year beasts are now?"
"Uh, the Beast God Di Tian, we only saw him once when we were young. As for the powerful soul beasts, we heard that they gathered under Di Tian's summons but later disappeared. We actually don't know where they are now," the Sky Blue Bull Python explained.
Ye Wen was a little speechless. He had gotten his hopes up for nothing. So, when Di Tian was in the Star Dou Forest, they were still just kids!
"Forget it, we'll talk about Di Tian and his beasts later," Ye Wen thought. He then asked, "What about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"
"The Dark Tiger is incredibly strong. Even with only sixty thousand years of cultivation, it can match up to us brothers!" The Titan Giant Ape's tone revealed some fear and hostility.
"I know that. What I want to ask is, do you know where it resides?"
Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Ye Wen was a bit helpless—three questions, and three unknowns.
The Sky Blue Bull Python thought for a moment before hastily saying, "However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger challenges us every few years. Given the time, it should be coming soon. When it comes next, we can fight it and then follow it back to its lair."
"Don't worry, since you don't know where it is, we'll leave that for later," Ye Wen said, waving his hand. "We won't stay in the Star Dou Forest. We'll be heading back to the human world."
"Da Ming, Er Ming, you can choose to stay in the Star Dou Forest or come with us to the human world."
Ye Wen didn't force them to come with him. He gave them the option because they didn't have a half-human form. If they encountered any problems and transformed into their soul beast forms, their identities would be exposed.
After the battle with Tang Hao, Ye Wen had confirmed one thing: these soul beasts, through the shapeshifting ability granted by the system into six-year-old human forms, didn't seem to be detected by Title Douluo-level experts!
They had the perfect ability to hide their soul beast identities!
Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a hesitant look, not sure how to respond, but after a moment, they gritted their teeth and spoke the truth, "Boss, we... we don't really want to go to the human world."
"If you don't want to go, that's fine. There's no need to worry about me being upset. I told you I'd give you a choice, so whether you stay or come with us, I'll agree," Ye Wen smiled.
He continued, "Since you've chosen to stay, then find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger for me. Once you locate it, contact me immediately."
"Also, don't neglect your training in your human forms. In six years, at the very least, your soul power must be above level 25. Understood?"
Da Ming and Er Ming looked troubled. "But, Boss, soul beast shapeshifting requires contact with the human world to train effectively."
"Just bring back a few humans. Or, you can go out occasionally. You figure it out yourself, just make sure you meet my requirements."
"Okay," Da Ming and Er Ming nodded.
"Alright, Er Ming, take us out of the Star Dou Forest now," Ye Wen said, ready to leave. He had many things to do.
"Yes, Boss."
The Titan Giant Ape obediently knelt on one knee, extending its palm in front of Ye Wen.
"Up."
Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai lightly jumped and landed on the giant palm of the Titan Giant Ape.
The Titan Giant Ape carefully placed Ye Wen and the others on its shoulder and then ran toward the outer regions.
"Are we leaving already?"
Sensing Ye Wen and the sea soul beasts gradually moving farther away, Gu Yue Na seemed to be pondering something. Soon, she made a significant decision in her heart.
Gu Yue Na immediately contacted the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, who was also in a dormant state.
Deep within the ground, a massive black dragon opened its eyes. Using its spiritual power, it communicated with Gu Yue Na. "Master!"
"I understand," came the reply.
After a brief exchange between the two dragon species, Di Tian fell back into slumber, while Gu Yue Na soon left the Star Dou Forest.
"This feels pretty good."
At this moment, Ye Wen stood on the shoulder of the Titan Giant Ape, looking down at the low-level soul beasts, which, frightened by the Titan Giant Ape's rapid movement, panicked and fled.
He smiled and thought to himself. When he watched the Douluo anime, he had wondered how cool it would be to ride on the Titan Giant Ape. Now, it had come true, and it felt quite impressive.
After a while, they arrived at the boundary between the inner and outer areas of the Star Dou Forest. Ye Wen signaled for Er Ming to stop. "Alright, this is as far as you go, Er Ming."
