"Pa!"
Σ(っQДQ;)っ
The sudden slap on his shoulder made Wang Dali shiver.
He turned around angrily—only to see Tang Hao's big, expressionless face staring at him.
The curse that had reached his throat was forcibly swallowed back down.
"Lord Haotian, you… you need something from me?"
Tang Hao frowned. "Your courage isn't enough. Come—train with me."
Without another word, he grabbed Wang Dali and dragged him outside.
Niu Gao looked on with envy—personal guidance from Haotian Douluo was something most could only dream of.
Then his gaze shifted toward Oscar and Shui Bing'er.
"Looks like the Sect Master's going to be busy for a while. You two, come with me."
"Alrighty, thank you, Hall Master Niu," Oscar said cheerfully.
Shui Bing'er smiled politely and followed along.
—Her man was handling important matters, so she knew when to give him space.
On the other side, when Da Ming and Er Ming saw Tang Lan arriving, they immediately understood and withdrew their hostility.
The first words from the Snow Empress were—
"Has Lord Beast God awakened yet?"
Da Ming and Er Ming froze.
Beast God? Who was that?
Snow Empress understood their confusion and didn't explain further.
But straightforward Er Ming asked directly, "Who's the Beast God? I've lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for tens of thousands of years, and I've never heard that name."
In just half a month, his speech had become quite fluent.
Snow Empress didn't even glance at him, unwilling to explain.
Instead, the Ice Empress gave a teasing look.
"So, in a forest without a Beast God, the giant ape rules as king, huh?"
"That's fine. If Lord Beast God really came out, we'd have nothing to do here anyway."
Er Ming was even more confused.
Why did these two from the Extreme North know so much about the Star Dou Great Forest?
Was it just because they'd lived long enough?
Da Ming frowned deeply but, aware of the power gap, didn't press further.
It was Tang Lan who explained—
"According to historical records, the Beast God—Di Tian—possesses the ultimate darkness attribute, one of the Nine Dragon Kings, personally granted the Dragon God Claw by the Dragon God himself, with quasi-divine strength."
"If not for the iron law that soul beasts can't become gods, he'd have ascended to the God Realm long ago."
"Also, the Star Dou Great Forest should have several other soul beasts over 200,000 years old, but they've all fallen into deep slumber."
"Probably found something precious and are cultivating together."
"You two only gained intelligence afterward, so it's normal you don't know them."
Da Ming and Er Ming's eyes widened.
The Star Dou Great Forest… had such beings?
The Ice and Snow Empresses, however, looked at Tang Lan in surprise.
Even these two ancient beasts didn't know—but this human boy in his teens knew it all?
"What's with those looks?" Tang Lan raised an eyebrow. "In my world, I'm a top-tier scholar, you know!"
The Ice and Snow Empresses exchanged strange glances.
A top scholar… at his age?
Was he serious?
Still, it didn't matter much to Snow Empress.
Now that it was confirmed the rulers of the Star Dou Great Forest were peaceful toward Tang Lan, she simply turned to leave.
A 200,000-year Titan Snow Demon King had been beaten half-crippled by her—two 100,000-year beasts weren't worth her time.
"Let's wait until this afternoon and watch the Soul Spirit Equality Contract test," said Ice Empress, also turning away.
One hundred thousand years was nothing special. The Extreme North had several such beasts in its outskirts.
Da Ming and Er Ming dared not be offended.
Power spoke for itself—They truly couldn't fight them.
"You said that Beast God Di Tian… is real?" Da Ming asked Tang Lan, his expression complicated.
Tang Lan spread his hands.
"I only read it in books. Who knows if it's true? But judging from the Ice and Snow Empresses' reactions, it seems likely."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense that the Extreme North has a 700,000-year ruler while the Star Dou Great Forest only has…"
He paused. "That just wouldn't add up."
Da Ming nodded, accepting the explanation.
"Then… if we take control of the Star Dou Great Forest, won't we offend that being?" Er Ming asked nervously.
"No need to worry," Da Ming said insightfully. "We're doing this for the future of all soul beasts, not personal gain. Even if Lord Beast God awakens, he'll understand and approve."
Er Ming scratched his head—his brain was overheating again.
He gave up thinking and looked at Tang Lan.
"Human, do you still need to absorb life force this time?"
Smart one!
Tang Lan nodded repeatedly.
"Come on," said Er Ming, turning around. "Big Brother gathered a slime area for you. They're useless except for one thing—overflowing life energy."
Nice!
Tang Lan gave Da Ming a thumbs-up and followed Er Ming.
That afternoon, after draining an entire pool of slimes, Tang Lan returned to the base full of vitality.
He then led ten Level-30 Spirit Transmitters to the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Da Ming and Er Ming were already waiting there with a host of high-level ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
A massive crowd of beasts—every single one over 10,000 years old.
The ten spirit-type soul masters trembled at the sight.
Good heavens!
Never in their lives had they seen such a terrifying lineup!
But upon seeing Tang Lan, their courage returned.
With the Sect Master here, what could possibly go wrong?
Besides, what they were about to do was a milestone for all soul beasts.
If any blind beast dared to interrupt, those two 100,000-year ones would rip it apart instantly!
"Roar—!"
Er Ming roared, and ten spirit-type soul beasts stepped forward.
Each had lived between 4,000 and 4,500 years, most with some limb missing.
Precisely because of that, they didn't resist becoming soul spirits—instead, they looked hopeful.
Tang Lan began with a rousing speech.
Standing between the soul beasts and the transmitters, he swept his gaze over the twenty beings and spoke telepathically:
"Today will be a historic moment!"
"You will become the first pairs to form an autonomous Soul Spirit Equality Contract!"
"Whether you succeed or fail today, your names will go down in history—as pioneers of the Soul Spirit Era!"
"Will you be honored as victors, or nailed to the pillar of shame?"
"That depends on what happens here and now!"
The soul beasts didn't care much for fame or glory, but the ten spirit transmitters were flushed red with passion.
If they succeeded, their names would open a new chapter in their clan records!If they failed… they'd be erased from them!
Each clenched their teeth, determined—Even if they died, they'd hold out to the end!
Morale burned bright.
Tang Lan released his Life Soul—Blue Silver Emperor—and linked to their waists, ready to absorb the overflow of soul power later.
"The stage is yours now."
He turned and retreated to the base's observation area.
The ten spirit transmitters began their contracts.
Without Tang Lan's spiritual orbs, they could only rely on their mental power to communicate with their partner beasts.
Everyone waited in total silence.
Half an hour passed—
The first spirit transmitter finally began.
A six-pointed star formation appeared under his feet, drawing in the essence of the soul beast before him.
Both human and beast softly chanted the incantation of the Soul Spirit Equality Contract.
Thus began the very first autonomous Soul Spirit Contract in the history of the Douluo Continent!
Even Tang Lan held his breath.
They were witnessing history itself!
The Ice and Snow Empresses, Da Ming, and Er Ming all widened their eyes—this was the moment to verify whether Tang Lan's words were true.
All the other high-level beasts and spirit masters watched anxiously.
Could the Sect Master truly change the continent's future?
Success or failure—It all came down to this!
And then suddenly—
Last time I added 400 extra words and you said I couldn't do it.
This time I added 100—still not good enough?
