This trip to the Star Dou Forest not only allowed Ye Liangchen to obtain his third spirit ring but also a Spirit Bone. More importantly, he met the number one goddess of Douluo, Gu Yuena, and received her full support. It was truly exhilarating.
"Na Jie, do Aunt Lan and the others know about your affairs? Did Ditian not tell them?" Ye Liangchen didn't want others to know about the Silver Dragon King's matters for now.
"It seems you don't plan to let them know about these things?" Gu Yuena hadn't expected Xiao Jiahuo to be so cautious.
"Don't worry! Ditian didn't tell them about these things."
Gu Yuena smiled. It was better to be careful at this stage. She had already told Ditian and the others to hide their identities, which was why she didn't let Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, and Ten Thousand Demon King come out, especially Xiong Jun, that brainless fellow who spoke without thinking and could easily expose their identities.
"That's good. Since it involves divine force, I won't tell my elders for now."
"Na Jie, I'll leave first. When I become strong in the future, I'll come and help you refine the Shura God Power in your wound so you can recover from your injuries."
Before leaving, Ye Liangchen painted a hopeful picture for Gu Yuena, so she wouldn't be too pessimistic.
In fact, Ye Liangchen could already rely on the Hun Yuan Art to refine divine force, but it would take a very long time.
However, he didn't dare to say it now. If he did, this female dragon would very likely keep him here and make him help her recover from her injuries. If she also wanted him to be her Dragon Knight, then he would be finished. With his current small arms and legs, he couldn't handle it.
Life is precious, love is more so, but for freedom, both can be thrown away.
Although Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was the most beautiful goddess in Douluo, if he were confined in this palace, never seeing the light of day, it would be meaningless.
Fortunately, Gu Yuena believed that Ye Liangchen was someone Life Goddess favored, so she had no ill intentions.
"No rush. We can talk about recovering from injuries later. I've endured for Ten-Thousand Year, so a little more time won't matter."
Gu Yuena smiled sweetly. From Ye Liangchen's sincere gaze, she could see that he genuinely wanted to help her. Moreover, Xiao Jiahuo had just given her a pill without hesitation, which eased her injuries. Her favorability towards Xiao Jiahuo was almost full.
"Xiao Chen, let me see you out! If you need anything in the future, you can come to me anytime."
Gu Yuena activated a divine tool on her body to conceal her aura, then opened a barrier passage and led Ye Liangchen out of the palace.
The purest land at the deepest part of Life Lake was a small island like a paradise, also created by Gu Yuena. The entire island was also within a barrier, used to hide from the God Realm's surveillance. However, the Golden Dragon King had already been suppressed by the God Realm, and the God Realm didn't really care much about the heavily injured Silver Dragon King.
Ye Liangchen had been in Gu Yuena's palace for several hours. Su Lin and Lan Xiaodie, who were on the island, were extremely anxious, fearing that Xiao Jiahuo had met with an accident.
"Don't worry, Xiao Jiahuo will be fine."
Bi Ji and Zi Ji saw the anxious look on the two women's faces and quickly comforted them.
"Buzz..."
Just then, a silver portal appeared in front of them. Gu Yuena appeared with Ye Liangchen, making their eyes light up.
"Greetings, Master."
"Mm! You all did very well."
Gu Yuena said lightly, then looked at Lan Xiaodie, who had already been promoted to Titled Douluo, and said earnestly.
"Your name is Lan Xiaodie, right! In the future, you must protect Xiao Chen well. He is incredibly important to all of us, and even to the entire World."
Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin looked at this unbelievably beautiful woman whose strength was unfathomable. She didn't seem like a mortal, yet she cared so much about Ye Liangchen, which shocked both of them.
"Even if you didn't say so, Senior, we would still do our best to protect his growth."
Although Ditian and Bi Ji and the others hadn't revealed their identities to them, Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin guessed that this otherworldly woman in front of them must be a god.
"Regarding the secret of Life Lake, don't tell anyone about it after you leave, otherwise it will attract the covetousness of some major forces. As for my identity, Xiao Chen will tell you later." Gu Yuena listened to Ye Liangchen's words and temporarily concealed her identity from the two women.
"Don't worry, Senior! We swear by our Spirit that we will not tell anyone the secret of Life Lake."
Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin were just mortals now, and they couldn't afford to provoke anything related to divine force.
"Aunt Lan, Teacher Su Lin, let me introduce you. This beautiful big sister is named Gu Yuena. She has already helped me obtain my third spirit ring."
Ye Liangchen introduced Gu Yuena to Lan Xiaodie, but did not reveal her identity as a Spirit Beast.
"Buzz..."
After speaking, Ye Liangchen released his spirit ring, and the yellow, purple, and black spirit rings flashed brilliantly.
"Ten-Thousand Year third spirit ring? Xiao Chen really did it."
Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin rubbed their eyes, feeling as if they were dreaming. Although they had guessed that Xiao Jiahuo would continue to set records, they hadn't expected it to be so astonishing.
"Don't be too surprised. A Ten-Thousand Year third spirit ring is nothing. If you encounter a divine examination in the future, even the spirit ring's age limit can be increased. Even a One Hundred-Thousand Year first ring can be achieved."
Gu Yuena said lightly. spirit rings meant nothing to gods.
"Na Jie, we're leaving now. See you later."
Although Life Lake was good, Ye Liangchen couldn't stay there for too long, so he bid farewell to Gu Yuena.
"Xiao Chen, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me. Bi Ji, see them out."
"As you command, Master."
Gu Yuena also knew that Xiao Jiahuo was human and had his own Life, so he couldn't stay here for too long. Thus, she sent Bi Ji to see them off.
"Thank you, Senior Bi Ji."
"You're welcome."
Bi Ji led Ye Liangchen and the two others through the formation, turning left and right. Soon, they arrived at the edge of Life Lake.
"Senior, this is far enough! Please go back."
"Alright! Then you all be careful."
Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin bid farewell to Bi Ji, then activated their Spirit and quickly flew away from the core area of the Star Dou Forest with Ye Liangchen.
"La la la..."
At this moment, ripples appeared on the lake surface, and the Sky Azure Bull Python's huge bull head emerged from the water.
"Lord Bi Ji, why do we help a human child?" The Sky Azure Bull Python asked curiously.
"Whether our Spirit Beast race's fate can be changed depends entirely on him in the future. If that Xiao Jiahuo comes to the Star Dou Forest to obtain a spirit ring in the future, you must fully assist him, understand?" Bi Ji gave the Sky Azure Bull Python an order, then flew towards the depths of Life Lake.
"Yes, Lord!" As the guardian of the outer reaches of Life Lake, the Sky Azure Bull Python had no choice but to obey the orders of its superiors.
"Big Brother, Xiao Wu has been at Nuoding City Spirit Master Academy for over 5 years now. I wonder how she's doing?" The honest Titan Giant Ape thought of that playful Little Rabbit, and he was still a little worried.
"I hope Xiao Wu is alright!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python was also helpless regarding a certain playful Little Rabbit.
At the same time, in the pure land at the center of Life Lake, Ditian, Bi Ji, and the Ten Thousand Demon King stood behind the Silver Dragon King.
"Master, can that Xiao Jiahuo really change our fate?" Ditian felt that his Master was too concerned about that human boy, even giving him a lot of Spirit Bones.
"He can even give me the divine pill given to him by Life Goddess without hesitation, so naturally, we can't be too stingy."
"Besides, we have no choice but to take a gamble. As long as he inherits the position of Life God King, it will be a good thing for us."
"I have a premonition that his future achievements will definitely not be as simple as a God King. He might reach a height beyond our imagination. Let's wait and see."
After the Silver Dragon King said a few words to Ditian and the others, she returned to the palace at the bottom of the lake to continue recuperating.
"Ditian, why do I feel that Master is a little different?"
Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the Ten Thousand Demon King, these fierce beasts, didn't understand why their Master thought so highly of that human Xiao Jiahuo. After all, he was only a Spirit Elder now.
"We will do whatever Master arranges. Don't forget, just the fact that that boy's future enemy is Asura God makes him worth our assistance."
Ditian said a few words calmly, then went back to absorb the Tianmeng Iceworm's cultivation.
...
After several hours of rapid flight, Ye Liangchen and his group finally left the core area of the Star Dou Forest.
In the evening, the three found a dry cave to stay in. For Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin, this trip to the Star Dou Forest was a dream journey.
"Xiao Chen, tell Auntie honestly, did that impossibly beautiful white-haired woman do anything to you?"
That god-like woman was too good to Ye Liangchen, making Lan Xiaodie feel a bit worried.
"Aunt Lan, she didn't do anything to me. Her enemy and my enemy are the same God, so she helped me."
Ye Liangchen still didn't dare to tell Lan Xiaodie that Gu Yuena was the Silver Dragon King, fearing it would scare her, so he could only make up a random excuse.
"Senior Sister, are you worried that Xiao Chen will be abducted by that white-haired woman in the future?"
Su Lin smiled charmingly, immediately seeing Lan Xiaodie's concern.
Frankly speaking, when she saw the white-haired beauty's pitiful and moving appearance earlier, she couldn't help but want to embrace her and dote on her.
"How can I not worry? That woman doesn't look like an ordinary person at all; she must be a God." Although Lan Xiaodie was already a Titled Douluo now, in front of a God, she was nothing.
"Senior Sister, don't worry. A woman's sixth sense tells me that the white-haired beauty won't harm Xiao Chen. Maybe there will be unexpected things in the future!"
Based on her intuition, Su Lin felt that the white-haired woman had already been captivated by Xiao Jiahuo.
"Teacher Su Lin, you're acting strange!" Ye Liangchen was speechless seeing Su Lin's gossipy look.
"Oh, right, Aunt Lan, didn't Di Tian say he would help you break through to Titled Douluo before? How is it now?" Ye Liangchen asked curiously.
"I have now reached Level 94 Titled Douluo."
"Chirp chirp…"
Lan Xiaodie released her Spirit, and nine spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and red, slowly rose from her body.
"At that time, that Ten-Thousand Year Snow Eagle was already on its last breath. Later, with the help of Senior Bi Ji, it forcefully elevated its state to its peak, and then sacrificed itself to me, allowing me to obtain a Ten-Thousand Year spirit ring and a Ten-Thousand Year torso Spirit Bone."
"Speaking of which, I still benefited from you, Xiao Chen, to obtain such a great opportunity."
Lan Xiaodie described the entire process of the Snow Eagle's sacrifice to Ye Liangchen, a scene she would never forget.
Looking at Lan Xiaodie's Ten-Thousand Year spirit ring, Ye Liangchen thought, now Tianshui Academy finally has a decent combat power. However, in his eyes, it was still a bit lacking, so he decided to take out the Spirit Bones Gu Yuena had given him, intending to help her break through to the Super Douluo realm.
"Aunt Lan, Na Jie gave me a pile of Spirit Bones before. You can absorb a few, and Teacher Su Lin can also pick a few. Everyone can get a full set of Spirit Bone equipment."
Ye Liangchen directly pulled out a pile of Spirit Bones from his spirit tool, a total of more than 40 pieces, including the 12 Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bones.
"Swish swish…"
As dozens of Spirit Bones appeared, Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin were stunned.
"Oh my God! So many Spirit Bones, and all of them are above 50,000 years."
"Senior Sister, I feel like I'm dreaming."
"It's not a dream, it's real."
"That white-haired beauty is too good to Xiao Chen! She wouldn't really be doing something to Xiao Chen, would she?"
Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin looked at the colorful pile of Spirit Bones, their eyes dazzled. It was truly too shocking.
"Xiao Chen, tell Auntie honestly, did you promise that woman any conditions? How could she be so good to you?"
Lan Xiaodie recovered her senses, trying to clear her head. She always felt that the impossibly beautiful white-haired woman must have some ulterior motive for Xiao Jiahuo.
A woman who seemed like a God giving so many precious Spirit Bones to Xiao Jiahuo—this wasn't just simple help; she clearly had her eyes on Xiao Jiahuo.
Thinking of this, Lan Xiaodie looked at Ye Liangchen's handsome face and showed a meaningful smile, thinking that Xiao Jiahuo was destined to have many romantic encounters in his Life. He had only just come out and was already targeted by an impossibly beautiful woman.
"Aunt Lan, you must have guessed that Na Jie is not an ordinary person, so these Spirit Bones are just a pile of broken stones to her. We should hurry and improve our strength."
Ye Liangchen felt speechless looking at Lan Xiaodie's meaningful gaze. He wasn't someone with a bad stomach.
"Senior Sister, no matter what that woman does to Xiao Chen in the future, she will definitely not harm him."
Su Lin thought this was a good thing. With Spirit Bones, everyone could improve their strength.
"Right! Aunt Lan, Teacher Su Lin, hurry and choose suitable Spirit Bones to absorb! Get a Spirit Bone set."
Ye Liangchen urged the two women to quickly absorb the Spirit Bones, as there was no use keeping them.
"Xiao Chen, keep the Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bones for yourself. It's enough for us to choose these 50,000-year ones."
Although the two women also needed Spirit Bones, they still left the best ones for Ye Liangchen.
"Aunt Lan, I can't use all these Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bones. You two pick a few too."
Ye Liangchen picked a Wisdom Skull Bone, a Torso Spirit Bone, and two Arm Bones. As for Leg Spirit Bones, it seemed there weren't any among these Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bones.
But it wasn't a big problem. After the academy holiday, Ye Liangchen would go to Saint Spirit Village to get the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. That Spirit Bone had flight and healing functions, which were also very good.
"Aunt Lan, I've chosen mine. You can arrange the rest! Also, the Spirit Bones left by my parents, I don't need them anymore."
Ye Liangchen only took these four Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bones. The other Spirit Bones were of no use to him, so he handed them over to Lan Xiaodie to arrange.
Lan Xiaodie, seeing this, was no longer polite and chose a full set of Spirit Bone equipment for herself. Su Lin did the same.
"Xiao Chen, thank you."
Su Lin looked at Ye Liangchen's calm demeanor and excitedly kissed him hard on the cheek. A full Spirit Bone set was something she had never dared to imagine before.
The two women each chose a Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bone. The remaining six Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bones were to be left for Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Lan Xiaoling, and Shui Lingfeng.
The two women spent a day finally absorbing their Spirit Bones. Now, each of them possessed six Spirit Bones: head, four limbs, and torso Spirit Bones.
Lan Xiaodie's strength also reached Level 96, and Su Lin's reached Level 87. This feeling of having a cheat made them feel like they were dreaming.
Ye Liangchen only absorbed one Ten-Thousand Year Left Arm Bone, and his strength directly increased to Level 37, also gaining two Spirit Abilities called Heaven Splitting Cross Slash and Sweeping Thousands of Armies. This Spirit Bone came from a Ten-Thousand Year Splitting Sky Tiger Spirit Beast, and its strength was decent.
Ye Liangchen planned to absorb the remaining Spirit Bones later. His strength was increasing too fast, which wasn't ideal.
"Aunt Lan, Teacher Su Lin, there are many medicinal herbs in the Star Dou Forest. This time, I want to collect some to refine pills."
The Star Dou Forest was a treasure trove on this continent. Not only did it have the most complete variety of Spirit Beasts, but it also had many medicinal herbs. Since he had come all this way, Ye Liangchen naturally didn't want to miss out.
"Okay, we'll accompany you to search slowly these few days. Anyway, we have plenty of time."
Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin also knew that Xiao Jiahuo's medical skills had matured. They had also taken the Soul Power Pill he refined, and the effect was quite good.
One morning, the three left the cave and then searched for medicinal herbs in the Star Dou Forest.
Three days later, they found a large amount of medicinal herbs and then prepared to leave the Star Dou Forest.
"Hiss hiss…"
Just as the three were passing through a dense forest, two huge Man Faced Demon Spiders suddenly darted out from ahead, attacking them. There was also a pile of smaller Man Faced Demon Spiders in the distance, watching the three. Clearly, this was a nest of Man Faced Demon Spiders, and they intended to treat Ye Liangchen and the two women as food.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's eight three-meter-long legs were like spears. With every step forward, they deeply pierced into the ground. If they were to pierce a person, it would definitely be a fatal blow.
"Mere two Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spiders, dare to be presumptuous?"
Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin directly used their powerful spirit power to repel the Man Faced Demon Spiders. One of them was instantly killed by Su Lin, and the pile of Man Faced Demon Spider spawn in the distance immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
"Hiss hiss hiss…"
The remaining large Man Faced Demon Spider felt it had run into a tough opponent and immediately fled outwards.
"Swish swish…"
"Little spider, you provoked us and still want to escape? How can it be that easy?"
Ye Liangchen directly took out his Lan Yan Sword, stepped on the Five Elements Mysterious Steps, and quickly charged towards the Man Faced Demon Spider.
