Chapter 20: The Future of the Soul Beast, Leng Yaozhu's Worry, Gu Yue.
"Ouch!"
A sharp elbow strike landed, and the Wind Demon Wolf howled. Under the immense force, it was instantly sent flying, falling to sleep on the grass beside it, slowly transforming into a ball of pure energy.
"Sha!"
With a soft sound, the leaves in front of Na'er continued to fall, fluttering and landing on the ground, but Na'er stood there frozen, as if under a spell of concentration.
"I don't understand!"
"I can't do anything..."
After a moment, Na'er's fair face wrinkled, her beautiful eyes gleaming with disbelief as she murmured, looking at the dead Wind Demon Wolf.
She, Na'er, was completely defeated, like a rookie in front of Jiang Xiu.
"Na'er, what are you mumbling about? Call me boss!"
After absorbing the Wind Demon Wolf's energy, Jiang Xiu's spirit ring had reached nearly a thousand years old. Looking at Na'er beside him, Jiang Xiu gently waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"I'll accept the loss. From now on, you'll be my boss."
Na'er gritted her teeth, looking at Jiang Xiu, who smiled brightly before her.
"Hmm, not bad. Follow me from now on."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, a glint in his eyes as he smiled.
He had carefully limited his kills from the outset, aiming for this final blow. While Na'er's intelligence was impressive, he still had a slight edge.
Jiang Xiu had now confirmed that Na'er had indeed inherited a portion of the Silver Dragon King's humanity, while Gu Yue, who was nowhere to be found, was more inclined towards spirit beasts.
"If Gu Yue knew I was defeated by a human child, wouldn't I be ridiculed?"
Na'er sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of shame, but she had to face reality.
"No, if I'm Jiang Xiu's boss, he'll definitely help me in the future. And if Jiang Xiu is my boss, he'll definitely help me in the future. So, it seems I'm not losing out."
Suddenly, Na'er had a thought, and she consoled herself. Now she could only gamble on Jiang Xiu's character.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
At that moment, a massive spider suddenly burst forth from the ground. Its appearance was truly bizarre, its entire body a dark purple, a hideous face affixed to its abdomen. It was none other than the Human-Faced Demon Spider, known as the nightmare of smaller soul beasts.
It had evidently been lying in ambush for some time, now roaring and charging towards Na'er, who was within striking distance.
"Whoosh!"
"Puff!"
The Human-Faced Demon Spider trembled instantly at Na'er's glare, feeling the immense pressure. Then, the silver dragon spear flew out, piercing the spider's body, and the legendary terminator fell.
"Hmph! If I can't defeat Jiang Xiu, then beating you wouldn't be easy, right?"
Na'er snorted, instantly refining the spider's energy.
"Human-Faced Demon Spider, ah Human-Faced Demon Spider, why did you provoke her?"
Jiang Xiu, upon witnessing this, observed a three-second moment of silence for the Human-Faced Demon Spider. Twenty thousand years ago, the Human-Faced Demon Spider was considered a high-quality soul beast, but in the era of Dragon King Legend, where bloodlines were paramount, it was a mere bystander.
Being used as a minion by Na'er was perfectly normal.
After Na'er absorbed the energy of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, her century-old spirit ring trembled slightly, then a faint purple hue spread, successfully transforming into a thousand-year spirit ring.
"Na'er, let's go, let's continue hunting spirit beasts."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered as he watched Na'er's transformation, and he prepared to continue deeper into the dense forest. His mental power had now reached 210 points, allowing him to raise his first spirit ring to a maximum of 2,000 years.
The Swift Wind Demon Wolves from earlier were mostly ten-year spirit beasts, and while the energy they provided him was modest, it still brought his first spirit ring to 990 years.
"Got it, sir!"
Na'er, perked up, continued to follow Jiang Xiu. After her own mental victory, she felt it was okay to acknowledge Jiang Xiu as the boss.
However, Na'er looked at the Shadow King, who had returned to Jiang Xiu's side, and then glanced at the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand. She suddenly realized that the Silver Dragon Spear was still too demanding to use, not as simple and powerful as Jiang Xiu's Shadow King.
"By the way, Boss, what do you think of soul beasts?"
Na'er asked tentatively. She must not forget her mission. After all, the fate of thousands of soul beast races rests on her shoulders.
"The soul beast race has declined. As far as I know, only the Star Dou Great Forest and the deep oceans still harbor soul beasts."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered as he heard this, and he spoke softly, a touch of regret laced with emotion.
The Soul Pagoda had good intentions, and initially it did reduce the conflict between soul beasts and humans. However, human greed is boundless, and the Soul Pagoda, like a blunt knife chopping meat, silently eroded the soul beast race's strength.
Meanwhile, humanity's soul-guiding technology and powerful individuals continued to emerge, and the soul beast race's decline seemed inevitable.
"What about the future?"
Na'er asked with hope.
"In the future... if we can find another suitable place to survive, perhaps we can revive."
Jiang Xiu pondered, his eyes thoughtful.
"I don't understand why everyone is discussing the decline of soul beasts, as if this Douluo Continent is doomed to be a bleak fate for us soul beasts."
Na'er pouted, indignant.
"Of course. I heard that in the distant past, the Dragon Clan's Dragon Gods were divided into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Silver Dragon King inherited the Dragon God's wisdom, but is now missing. Perhaps upon his return, he can lead the Soul Beast Clan to a revival of glory."
Seeing Na'er's frown, Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and he offered a soothing smile .
"Really?"
"Really? I swear on the thrones of the Asura God and the Sea God that if the Soul Beast Clan can't be revived, these thrones will collapse."
Jiang Xiu observed the joy in Na'er's eyes and spoke solemnly.
"No need to swear, then. I suddenly feel you're not bad."
Na'er snorted, her steps becoming lighter.
"Who? I'm your boss."
"Got it, boss!"
Na'er followed Jiang Xiu, continuing towards the forest.
"I didn't expect Xiao Xiu's first soul ring to have such a precious time attribute."
Inside the circular metal room, Leng Yaozhu looked at Jiang Xiu, who had won the bet, her almond-shaped phoenix eyes filled with surprise.
"Hahaha, lucky, lucky."
Muye laughed modestly, seeing Leng Yaozhu, who was just as shocked as he was at the beginning.
"At this rate, it feels like Na'er is going to be lost,"
Leng Yaozhu thought to herself, her head slightly shaking as she watched the two people walking side by side on the screen. This feeling grew more and more certain.
"Master Leng, after this spiritual ascension, I intend to establish the headquarters of the Benti Sect on the street you gave me. I see Na'er and Xiaoxiu are the same age, which will facilitate frequent exchanges and discussions."
Unlike Leng Yaozhu, Muye looked at the two on the screen with a slight smile on his face, and then spoke.
But before that, he had to take his eldest disciple, Jiang Xiu's senior brother, over.
"Stand still."
Leng Yaozhu sighed softly at this. She could see Muye's subtle thoughts, of course. Once he said something, he couldn't take it back.
Now that things have come to this, let's leave it at that.
...
And now, in the distant Star Dou Great Forest, in front of the Lake of Life.
Several imposing figures stood there, the leader a tall figure with black hair and golden eyes, faintly emitting a tyrannical aura.
But at this moment, they all looked respectfully at a young girl above the lake.
At this moment, the girl slowly opened her eyes and slowly turned.
