In the blink of an eye, a year quietly passed.
Ming Lun's range expanded once again, and most of the Sun Moon Forest became part of the academy's domain. However, the trees weren't massively felled but were preserved.
There weren't overly powerful soul beasts in the forest, so the soul beast ecosystem wasn't too severely impacted.
Even under Gu Yuena's dragon authority, many ten-thousand-year soul beasts wouldn't actively attack humans.
As long as soul masters didn't actively attack them and simply passed through their territory, they wouldn't take action.
Of course, this applied to only some ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
Creatures like the Man-Faced Demon Spider and Cavern Demon Spider, under ten-thousand-year level, could never rid themselves of the instincts to hunt and devour. Even if Gu Yuena ordered them, they wouldn't comply.
Ridiculous!
They are spiders; their ancestors weren't real dragons—why should they listen to a dragon?
