----------------------
The Auspicious Emperor Beast was actually coming this way.
After receiving the message from Mad King, Chen Junting's brows slightly lifted. It seemed they were about to meet.
Just at this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly exclaimed, "Elder Song, I sense a spirit-type soul beast rushing toward us."
Leaves rustled as a golden figure shot out!
But when Elder Song saw the appearance of this soul beast, her gaze immediately turned to Huo Yuhao, with only one meaning in her eyes: "The spirit-type soul beast you mentioned—surely it's not this one!"
Confusion appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.
Because his sea of consciousness was already in chaos. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already been beaten by Ice Empress until it was searching for teeth on the ground!
"It's actually an Auspicious Emperor Beast."
The expression on Elder Song's face turned extremely serious.
She no longer cared about searching for what she had learned from questioning those two evil soul masters. Because if this wasn't handled properly, it would undoubtedly trigger another beast tide.
Moreover, an Auspicious Emperor Beast was always protected by fierce beasts.
"Roar—Human!"
A roar shook the heavens!
Scarlet King's dark red figure had already landed beside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, its aura seemingly rivaling Elder Song's.
"Scarlet King, what do you intend to do!"
The moment the roar sounded, Elder Song had already positioned Chen Junting and the other four behind her protection. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to fight Scarlet King, fearing accidental injury to the students.
And Scarlet King shared the same thought.
Protecting the Three-Eyed Golden Lion at its side, it remained vigilant toward Elder Song.
As a fierce beast that had participated in the previous beast tide, Scarlet King was very familiar with this old woman before it. Its tone was filled with anger. "Greenshadow, what are you Shrek people doing here?"
"Of course, to hunt for soul rings."
Elder Song's tone was extremely stiff, not giving an inch. "Scarlet King, don't forget the agreement between your Star Dou fierce beasts and our academy. We currently belong to the category of well water not offending river water. Why are you taking this posture now? What do you intend to do?"
"What do we intend to do!?"
Hearing this, Scarlet King's anger intensified further.
If it weren't for the fact that it really couldn't defeat this old man before it, these few people before it would have long since met their deaths.
"That should be asked of you humans."
Between Scarlet King's interlocking canines, it seemed fire was swirling.
"Just recently, many ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Forest have been cruelly slaughtered. The Auspicious Beast even feels their souls constantly wailing. Could all this not be done by you humans?"
Hearing this, Elder Song's face turned iron-like.
She finally understood the source of Scarlet King's anger.
Originally, she had come here to eliminate the evil soul masters' methods. Who would have thought they would be falsely accused for the evil soul masters' actions.
"Humans and humans are different."
Taking a deep breath, Elder Song took out three staves from her storage soul guide device that she had obtained from the Zhongli triplets. The moment the staves appeared, both the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Scarlet King bristled with anger!
"These are the things from those humans you mentioned. We happened to encounter them earlier and dealt with them. These three staves are precisely from those three evil soul masters."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical pupil seemed to sweep over these three staves. After receiving relevant feedback, it spoke to Scarlet King, "Scarlet King, it's truly not them who did it."
The cold female voice made Scarlet King suppress its previous anger. It looked at the three staves on the ground, stepping on them with one foot. "Greenshadow, these three staves should be handed to me..."
However, just at this moment, rows of golden runes suddenly appeared. In an instant, they surrounded everyone!
This sudden scene shocked everyone! Scarlet King, not caring about what this situation was, let out a heaven-shaking roar, wanting to break through with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
And Elder Song also scrutinized these runes carefully.
Only Chen Junting behind her remained completely calm.
As if he had anticipated this scene all along.
But Scarlet King's attack seemed to touch something at this moment, causing two circles of golden runes to suddenly contract, actually trapping Chen Junting and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion separately.
This left Scarlet King completely dumbfounded!
Turning its head, it roared furiously at Elder Song.
"Greenshadow, you dared to move it even knowing it's an Auspicious Beast! Do you want to be enemies with all the soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest?"
"Scarlet King, stop your dog barking!"
Being slandered like this, Elder Song frowned. A terrifying aura instantly swept toward Scarlet King like a violent storm.
"This old lady came to this area precisely to deal with the methods left by those three evil soul masters. It might be your previous actions and hasty attacks that triggered the methods those evil soul masters set here, leading to the current scene!"
"You! Me!"
Scarlet King became somewhat desperate.
Hearing this, it seemed the responsibility was on itself!
If Di Tian knew about this, regardless of whether the Auspicious Beast was harmed or not, as the instigator, being severely beaten would be the lightest punishment.
Seemingly stimulated by the threat of death, Scarlet King suddenly became clever.
Shaking its head vigorously, Scarlet King immediately realized!
These golden runes were clearly the methods of you humans—how could it be its responsibility? It might be its actions that triggered them, but ultimately, it was still you humans' fault!
After clarifying its thoughts, Scarlet King argued with Elder Song again. However, the subject of the argument was only one!
This is your humans' fault, and it must be resolved by you humans—rescuing the Auspicious Emperor Beast completely unharmed. If anything happens to the Auspicious Beast, the entire Star Dou Forest will go mad.
This "threat" immediately made Elder Song frown deeply.
In the end, she still agreed.
And Scarlet King was also ready to call for help at any moment. If these humans couldn't be relied upon, even at the risk of being beaten half to death by Di Tian, it would have to seek help from this Beast God.
Just as they were discussing the rescue, inside the golden runes.
"Master, aren't we being a bit reckless?"
Chen Junting's consciousness appeared in the sea of consciousness, speaking to Electrolux, the controller of these golden runes.
Originally, after learning from Mad King that the Auspicious Emperor Beast was coming, Electrolux had proposed an idea—that since the Auspicious Emperor Beast possessed elusive fate power and fate perception abilities, once Chen Junting obtained it, whether for his path to godhood or other matters, it would be of immense help.
Since that was the case, they should seize this perfect opportunity when timing, location, and people were all aligned. Using the evil soul masters' arrangements as an excuse to complete the attribute channeling.
This undoubtedly made Chen Junting's heart stir.
Because the benefits of obtaining the Fate Eye were beyond doubt.
As for whether Tang San had a hand in this...
The moment he wanted to become a god, he had already placed himself on this chessboard. Since that was the case, don't worry about other things—just do whatever enhances your strength!
Thus, this scene came to be.
"Don't worry, that little dog still doesn't dare to take other actions." Electrolux held his staff, golden runes swirling around him.
After Chen Junting nodded slightly, he suddenly thought of a crucial point, speaking solemnly: "Master, during the attribute channeling, can you isolate my memories? After all, my memories contain too many important things—if it knows some of them, it might not be good..."
"I'll try my best."
Electrolux naturally knew the importance of this matter. However, for attribute channeling, even he couldn't completely isolate Chen Junting's memories. "This master will use your experiences from this life, not your thoughts, as the transmission material needed for the channeling."
"Alright."
After pondering briefly, Chen Junting nodded in agreement.
After all, up to now, his experiences were still relatively transparent. Besides his own thoughts, he had few secrets that couldn't be told.
"Then, this master will begin."
The next second, the Eye of Life on Chen Junting's forehead faintly opened. A golden halo flowed out like water, and the same scene appeared on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's forehead.
This scene actually stunned everyone blocked outside. However, due to the barrier of the golden runes and the cover of the golden halo, Chen Junting's Eye of Life wasn't discovered by anyone.
"Is this attribute channeling?"
Seeing this, Elder Song couldn't help but murmur inwardly.
At the same time, she recalled words recorded in an ancient text at the academy—Where the Auspicious Beast exists, all beasts receive protection. Its nature is supreme, humans may channel it. Blessed by good fortune, the future is boundless.
"Are these golden runes really the methods of evil soul masters?"
Glancing at the anxious Scarlet King, Elder Song turned her gaze to Chen Junting, who was approaching the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Remembering Elder Mu's words, she decided to bury her doubts deep in her heart.
Meanwhile, inside the golden runes.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, watching the human gradually approaching its third eye, seemed to understand what was about to happen next. Its clear, moving female voice roared continuously, "Detestable human, if you dare approach me, I'll make sure you die horribly, plagued by bad luck—"
But before it could finish speaking, Chen Junting's Eye of Life had already pressed against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical eye. A trembling sensation instantly rushed over them. Strange, twisting halos wrapped around the bodies of the human and beast, making their bodies seem transparent to each other.
Only the flowing light made their forms visible.
Under the contact of their eyes, the life force of the Eye of Life's gold and the fate power of the Auspicious Emperor Beast began to pour into each other.
And centered on the two of them, the entire Star Dou Forest seemed to become restless. Intense life energy invisibly rushed toward them wildly, continuously pouring into their bodies.
Moreover, with the twisting light growing stronger and stronger, even Scarlet King and Elder Song couldn't approach even half a step closer.
Just as Scarlet King gradually felt uneasy...
Merely an instant passed, "Hum—"
A layer of golden light suddenly burst from the contact point between them—this indicated that both sides had already exchanged memories and were about to complete the attribute channeling. However, just at this moment...
"Hmm!"
