Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 514 – Emerald Swan

Tang Yuge, who was the strongest among the first years, only had six rings and everyone had at least one Spirit Soul spot left.

Those soul beasts that lived to the end of their lifespans and were on the verge of death were probably at least at the ten thousand-year level. If they could have a real ten thousand-year Spirit Soul, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for them.

A faint smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu’s face, and he was filled with anticipation. Although he didn’t know if merging with a Spirit Soul would affect his soul rings, it would be a good thing to have a Spirit Soul that could help him fight! Especially since he didn’t know how to deal with the Gold Silk Ape that was about to dissipate in his body. He might gain something this time too.

“Let’s go!”

There were no more mounts this time and they had to go by themselves. Wang Tianyu led the way while the rest followed behind.

They were all soul masters and the weakest among them had three rings. It was naturally nothing for them to run around in the Soul Beast Forest.

Only after truly entering inside the forest of the planet were they able to feel the beauty of this primeval forest. There were all sorts of vines, thick trees, colorful flowers, and all sorts of living creatures. Soul beasts moved freely in this forest, and sometimes, they would even approach and observe them.

Lan Xuanyu heard from his classmates who were familiar with the Elven Planet that the soul beasts here were very territorial. Some of them were extremely violent and were adept at killing. They were in some special regions and those that allowed humans to enter were peaceful regions with extremely gentle soul beasts.

They didn’t encounter any aggressive soul beasts along the way.

The only thing that worried Lan Xuanyu was that Yuanen Huihui had yet to return to the team. Wouldn’t he miss this opportunity?

But considering that his grandmother was the Elven Queen, with the relationship between the elves and the soul beasts, it shouldn’t be too difficult to obtain a Spirit Soul for him, so he felt much more at ease.

Along the way, they were no longer able to distinguish between north, south, east, and west. After about an hour, their field of vision suddenly widened.

Huge trees were uprooted from the ground and winding streams flowed endlessly. It was actually a wetland. The life energy here was clearly much richer than their residence.

Upon entering, Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel that the number of soul beasts around him had decreased. Wang Tianyu, who had been running at the front, had suddenly slowed down.

Furthermore, this place seemed to contain a special emotion—calm, peaceful, and even time seemed to have slowed down here.

Wang Tianyu, who was walking in front, stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the students behind him, saying, “This is the soul beasts’ Reclining Garden on the Elven Planet. All of you can salute.” With that said, he retreated to the side. With his status, he obviously didn’t need to bow.

All the students stood and bowed, including Xiao Qi.

Right at this moment, a lady dressed in a long green dress walked out from the depths of the amusement park.

She had a slender figure, fair skin, and looked exactly like a human. She had a graceful and gentle appearance and appeared to be in her thirties. She walked over to Wang Tianyu and bowed slightly. “Hello, Pavilion Master Wang, welcome to the Reclining Garden. Please wait a moment, the others will be here soon.”

“Alright, senior Bi Ji is too polite.” Wang Tianyu returned the greeting. In terms of age, this person before him was much older than him.

Tens of thousands of years ago, this person was already one of the top ten Great Beasts. She had the best reputation in the world of soul beasts and was also a rare existence that was proficient in healing. Emerald Swan, Bi Ji!

She was once ranked fourth on the Top 10 Great Beast Rankings. Although this ranking didn’t mean that her true battle strength was fourth place, it was obvious how high her status in the world of soul beasts was.

The three people ahead on the ranking were the Beast God Di Tian, the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler Xie Di, and the Heavenly Snow Woman Xue Di.

And among these three, only the Beast God Di Tian, who was about to transcend the tribulation, was still alive. As for the other two, the Evil Eye Tyrant was long dead, and Xue Di had become the Spirit Soul of the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao who later on became the God of Emotions. And the Spirit Soul system was created by Huo Yuhao.

Hence, the world of Soul Beasts was divided into two branches. One branch led by the Beast God Di Tian, the Emerald Swan Bi Ji had always been the second in command, second only to the Beast God Di Tian. Now that Di Tian was about to undergo tribulation, it could be said that she was the most important soul beast in this branch.

Bi Ji’s gaze swept across the group of Shrek Academy students and she could not help but smile. “Shrek is still as outstanding as ever.”

When her gaze landed on the first years, she couldn’t help but be surprised. These kids looked to be around 12 or 13 years old, but why did Shrek Academy bring so many of them? And they didn’t seem to be of any age.

Wang Tianyu naturally saw her surprise and said, “There were some special circumstances during the academy’s internal selection. These first years of our Outer Court are very united. Under the guidance of their class leader, they formed a team to challenge those of a higher rank and won consecutively. In the end, they defeated all the Outer Court seniors, including the sixth years, and finally obtained the qualifications to watch the ceremony together.”

Bi Ji said in surprise, “The first years challenged the sixth graders? That’s amazing!” She wasn’t flattering him. She had always been very knowledgeable and respectful towards Shrek Academy.

“Lan Xuanyu, step out,” Wang Tianyu suddenly shouted.

Lan Xuanyu quickly walked out of the crowd and quickly arrived before Wang Tianyu, bowing respectfully. “Pavilion Master.”

Wang Tianyu smiled and said to Bi Ji, “This is the class leader of the first years, Lan Xuanyu. Although this child’s cultivation isn’t too high, he has twin souls and is extremely gifted. He is also very smart.”

He called Lan Xuanyu out to introduce him to Bi Ji because he obviously wanted to fulfill Lan Xuanyu’s wish. In terms of choosing Spirit Souls, it was clear that if Bi Ji had any inclinations and guidance, the chances of being selected to obtain a Spirit Soul would increase greatly.

Bi Ji sized Lan Xuanyu up and smiled. “This child is really good looking. Not bad, not bad.”

Just as she was about to take a step closer to observe Lan Xuanyu, she suddenly heard a loud laugh. “Brother Tianyu, you’re not kind at all! You’re already promoting your students even before we arrive?”

While they were talking, a group of people arrived with large strides not far away. The person walking at the front was a tall and burly middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He wore a well-ironed military uniform and had three general stars on his epaulet.

As humans stepped into the interstellar era, it became harder to increase their military ranks, especially those above the rank of general. There were less than 30 generals in the entire Federation and they were all important figures. For example, the commanders of the various space fleets and some higher-ups in the military.

The person before him was obviously one of these big shots.

Wang Tianyu glanced at the person and said, “I didn’t see you yesterday, where did you run off to? Long time no see, I wonder if your hand is itching or your skin is itching.”

The person laughed. “Sure! Let’s find some time to spar. It’s more enjoyable to fight with you. Let’s see if you’ve improved.”

At this moment, he had already brought his men forward. There were 12 youths behind him and they were all dressed in military uniforms with different ranks on their shoulders. The highest-ranking ones already had the rank of colonel. However, there were a few that looked especially young and didn’t have any military ranks on their shoulders.

Lan Xuanyu was by Wang Tianyu’s side at this moment and naturally felt the strong aura emitted by this person.

The general turned to Bi Ji and smiled. “War God Temple, first War God, Yang Hui, greets Senior Bi Ji.”
