"Meow~"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked up at Bai Zhou, its eyes pleading, tilting its head and acting cute.
"Go away, this pill is expensive. I'll give it to you next time."
Bai Zhou's face darkened, somewhat speechless.
Although obtaining this pill was largely due to absorbing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's luck, the main reason was his wishing system. He could only accumulate one wish per day, making it quite precious.
If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation increased after taking the pill, that would be fine.
Unfortunately, a Soul King-level pill was still a bit lacking. It was more like candy for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion; once inside its body, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, utterly useless.
Even if it did increase its cultivation by a few years, compared to the opponent's combat power, which was comparable to ten thousand years of cultivation, it was a drop in the ocean.
It would only make a splash.
Giving it to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt like a waste.
He'd better not give it to it next time.
"Woo woo..."
Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's face immediately drooped, looking pitiful.
Bai Zhou, however, was completely unmoved.
He took out a Soul-Enhancing Pill and swallowed it whole.
"Buzz—"
The medicinal power of the Soul King Pill was almost ten times that of the Soul Sect Pill, and its terrifying power slowly spread throughout Bai Zhou's body.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion must have chewed it, which is why the medicinal power exploded.
Bai Zhou, on the other hand, swallowed it, so the medicinal power naturally spread more slowly.
Of course, with Bai Zhou's body, chewing it directly wouldn't be a problem, but having it explode inside his body was still quite uncomfortable, like eating a ton of spicy strips.
Bai Zhou didn't have any masochistic tendencies, so he obediently circulated his soul power to digest the medicinal power.
...
Two hours later.
Bai Zhou successfully digested four Soul-Enhancing Pills, and his soul power level increased to level 55.
Theoretically, the soul power required for levels 51-52 is far lower than that for levels 54-55, but the Soul-Enhancing Pill can ignore the difference and directly increase the level, no more and no less.
Bai Zhou felt his physical strength increase several times over, and all his attributes also rose significantly.
He estimated his current overall combat power to be far superior to that of a Soul Saint.
Especially when using his fifth Soul Skill, "Blue Silver Crystal Armor," combined with his physical strength—
high attack power + top-tier defensive gear + anti-armor—
he could easily crush an ordinary Soul Saint with a single punch.
However, he might still be a bit short of a Soul Douluo.
"Meow..."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion meowed when it saw Bai Zhou open his eyes, its dark golden eyes filled with astonishment.
Being beside Bai Zhou, it could clearly sense the increase in his strength.
In just a short moment, Bai Zhou's aura had increased more than tenfold! This was simply outrageous...
You must know that for Soul Beasts to achieve such a significant increase, they would need to cultivate for at least several thousand years or consume some seventy- or eighty-thousand-year-old spiritual treasures suitable for their attributes, plus decades of digestion, to achieve such a power boost.
The human before it, however, had only taken two short hours…
and it had figured out that the source of everything was the mediocre-tasting but energy-rich pill it had just eaten.
This single pill could indeed increase its cultivation by ten years, but for it, it was a drop in the ocean.
But if it transformed into human form and then took the pill, could it achieve the same advancement speed as Bai Zhou…?
And with its talent, if it transformed, there would be absolutely no bottlenecks. At this rate of advancement, reaching the legendary level 100 didn't seem too difficult… perhaps it could even break through its limits and become a god…
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion grew increasingly tempted, its desire to transform into human form growing ever stronger.
However, after transforming, although its original power would remain, it would have to relinquish ten thousand years of cultivation. It
would also lose the endless lifespan of a mythical beast.
This made it hesitate, unsure of its choice.
…
"Comfortable, I can sleep well tonight~"
Bai Zhou didn't care what the Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought. He only knew that becoming a Soul Emperor... no, a god was just around the corner!
Of course, Bai Zhou wasn't in such a hurry.
While drugs had no side effects, the rapid increase in strength would reduce his control over himself.
What Bai Zhou needed was perfect control over his body, which would increase his overall combat power by about 10%-20%.
Although it was only 10-20%, this was an additional 10% when he unleashed his strongest power, and it was permanent. Even after becoming a god, with perfect control, this boost would still be effective, and might even be stronger.
It was similar to "creating a self-made soul skill."
Of course, the main reason was that wish attempts were precious; he couldn't use them all on wish pills—that would be too wasteful.
Sometimes, things were countless times more precious than pills. He might have failed to make a wish before due to bad luck, but now with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he could certainly give it a try.
Bai Zhou lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a strange smile in his eyes.
This three-eyed golden lion is truly a treasure…
"Meow…"
The three-eyed golden lion noticed Bai Zhou's strange gaze, felt a chill run down its spine for no reason, and instinctively shrank its neck.
"Haha, alright, alright, it's getting late, go to sleep~"
Bai Zhou laughed, picked up the three-eyed golden lion, and gently placed it on the bed.
"Meow~"
The three-eyed golden lion meowed, then lightly leaped and snatched the brand-new memory foam pillow that Bai Zhou had just wished for.
The three-eyed golden lion wasn't heavy to hug, but sitting on the pillow, it still sank in quite a bit, forming a small indentation.
"Fine, whatever you like…"
Bai Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't mind, and made another pillow and lay down himself.
Although he didn't need to sleep for a long time, but…
sleeping in was really great.
…
…
The next morning, Bai Zhou returned to Shrek Academy.
Originally, Bai Zhou wanted to bring the three-eyed golden lion back to the academy, but he arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy.
However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to sense something and refused to go inside, clinging to the ground.
Bai Zhou guessed it was because of Elder Mu.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion could probably conceal its aura from Elder Mu, but it was probably afraid of being caught red-handed…
and then being caught and investigated.
That would be truly disastrous.
Bai Zhou understood this and could only rent another small courtyard for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to stay in temporarily.
Well, the most important thing was that Bai Zhou prepared enough food for it for a week.
The reason for not keeping it in Xian Lin'er's courtyard was also to prevent Xian Lin'er from discovering it.
After all, Xian Lin'er also liked cute little animals and would definitely not be able to resist hugging the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and petting it. Even
a Title Douluo would subconsciously investigate everything around them.
If it was just seen, Xian Lin'er would definitely not be able to see through the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's identity.
But if it was hugged and investigated…
well, then it would be disastrous.
Bai Zhou hid the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to avoid any accidents.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was his lucky charm, and Bai Zhou didn't want it to die.
Besides, it wasn't just a lucky charm…
Bai Zhou would need the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's help to persuade the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor in the future…
