Erming looked crestfallen.
He didn't want to apologize, but he also didn't want to upset Xiao Wu.
He was stuck in an awkward position.
Daming couldn't bear to watch and stepped forward to mediate.
"Erming, take a moment to carefully sense it. The soul rings on this human aren't from hunting."
"If I'm not mistaken, you've also inherited some of the Soul Beast bloodline. Can you create your own innate soul rings?"
Erming was taken aback.
It leaned down close to Tang Lan, sniffing hard.
Its eyes were even more disbelieving!
"Really no resentment from Soul Beasts?"
"This human is also a Soul Beast?"
"Wrong!"
"He doesn't have the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast either."
"Could it be half-human, half-beast, born from a human and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Tang Lan's brow jumped as he listened.
Although Erming was speaking the truth, it sounded like he was cursing someone.
Or…
Was he just being unrestrained because Tang Lan "couldn't understand"?
Given Erming's straightforward personality, it was entirely possible.
At the same time,
Daming's insight was unexpectedly sharp; he had guessed almost everything upon first contact.
Tang Lan simply stopped pretending.
He directly summoned his Martial Soul and revealed his six Soul Rings.
Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red!
Six dazzling red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
Both Daming, Erming, and Xiao Wu were stunned!
How could this be?!
Absolutely impossible!!
Putting aside other things...
How could your first Soul Ring be a hundred thousand years old?
Xiao Wu, who knew Tang Lan's background, was the first to react.
"Bro… bro!" Xiao Wu trembled, "Your physique… has it been strengthened to the hundred-thousand-year level?"
Tang Lan didn't say anything.
He revealed his luxurious Soul Bone set.
This sight left the other two animals and Erming dumbfounded once more!
What the heck is this?!
Eight Soul Bones, six external ones, and two hundred-thousand-year ones!
So luxurious it made a beast question its very existence!
After a long time.
The calm and collected Daming sighed —
"Human, you have a chance to become a god."
He only meant to express his feelings.
Just…
"Hopeful?"
"Heh."
Tang Lan activated the Life Mark. The life glow emanating from it momentarily stunned Daming.
"I've already been recognized by the God King of Life."
"As long as I reach level 99, I can inherit the God of Destiny and become a Level One God."
Daming: ヽ(ー_ー)ノ
Erming: (﹃) Xiao Wu: (ω) Xiao Wu accelerated and threw herself into Tang Lan's arms.
"Brother! Really?" She asked, seeking confirmation. "You really got recognized by the God King of Life? Level 99 and you become a god directly?"
Tang Lan nodded firmly.
"Woohoo!" Xiao Wu cheered. "Awesome! My brother will definitely become a god! Hehe—"
Daming and Erming exchanged a complex glance.
Soul Beasts weren't allowed to become gods.
This unreachable dream, yet it seemed so easy for Tang Lan.
The contrast... was unacceptable to the beasts.
Tang Lan didn't pay them any mind. After Xiao Wu calmed down from her excitement, he took out the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone.
It was a white, crystal-clear flower, as pure as a white lotus root.
Xiao Wu liked it at first glance.
"This is the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone," Tang Lan explained. "It can nourish tendons and strengthen bones, and it opens up the eight extraordinary meridians. You just eat the petals and finally suck the stamen, then use your inner power to absorb it."
Xiao Wu looked reluctant.
"Brother, such a beautiful flower… are we really going to eat it?"
"If you don't eat it, you can only level up slowly on your own," Tang Lan said, shrugging. "Or should I come and get you in a few years?"
How could Xiao Wu be happy with that?
Without hesitation, she ate the petals and sucked the stamen dry.
The vast medicinal power surged into her body, and a faint jade color spread over her.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb.
His aura slowly increased.
Tang Lan waved his hand.
The blue-purple Vast Sea Soul Guard descended, protecting Xiao Wu within.
It also isolated her from external perception.
Then, he looked at Daming and Erming.
The show was about to begin.
"Daming, Erming, you haven't undergone the Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavenly Tribulation yet, have you?" Tang Lan asked.
Daming nodded and replied,
"After advancing to the Hundred-Thousand-Year level, one must undergo the Heavenly Tribulation within a thousand years." "Generally, we start in the 999th year to increase our chances."
Tang Lan revealed a confident smile.
It's settled!
Daming and Erming looked at each other, puzzled. Why was he smiling about such a serious matter?
"Daming, Erming, do you know that the Dragon God doesn't allow Soul Beasts to become gods?"
The two beasts fell silent.
When they advanced to the Hundred-Thousand-Year level, they also learned about this "rule."
Well.
What else could they do now that things had come to this?
"I've invented a new type of Soul Ring. It's called a Soul Spirit."
Tang Lan said quietly.
"A Soul Spirit allows the soul of a Soul Beast to coexist with the host within a Soul Ring."
"If the host becomes a god and ascends to the God Realm, then the Soul Beast will naturally transform into a god as well."
He once again revealed his Life Mark, smiling without speaking.
Silence spoke volumes.
Daming immediately understood Tang Lan's meaning.
Erming was furious!
"Damn humans!"
"You actually want us to be your Soul Ring?!"
"Humans are truly untrustworthy!"
"All humans deserve to die!!!"
"Buzz—"
Erming furiously activated his Gravity Control Domain, applying a hundred times the normal pressure directly on Tang Lan.
The stones beneath his feet instantly turned to powder.
Tang Lan, however, remained completely still, only the golden light on his body flickering.
Adamantine Body!
He stepped forward with his left foot.
Boom——
A white halo spread out, nullifying the crushing pressure of the Gravity Control Domain.
Annihilation Step!
Erming was about to go berserk.
"Stop it!" Daming rebuked. "When will you ever change your rash temper!"
Erming looked at Daming with a wronged expression.
"Big Brother! This human wants us to be his Soul Ring! You…"
"It's Soul Spirit!" Daming emphasized. "Stand aside first and listen before you say anything!"
Erming's eyes widened in disbelief!
His big brother was actually standing with the humans?
His mental energy was in a state of chaos.
Tang Lan couldn't discern the specific meaning at the moment – but it was definitely not something good.
Daming turned his head and stared at Tang Lan.
"Human, how do you prove your words?"
Tang Lan raised a hand.
The tool, Jing Ling, was released, and then the Vast Sea Soul Guard was dispelled.
He slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him, was a raging Titan Giant Ape, and a naturally imposing Azure Bull Python.
(●—●) He rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes again, lying back on the ground.
Wow! This dream was really damn awful!
"Slap——"
Tang Lan slapped Jing Ling awake.
"Don't be afraid, we're all on the same side," Tang Lan said. "Let your Soul Spirit out for a stroll."
Jing Ling clutched his head.
He looked at Tang Lan, then at the two great ferocious beasts.
He couldn't quite process everything at once.
His own Sect Master... is this kind of person?
Could it be that the Sect Master wants these two to become his Soul Spirits?
Holy sht!!!*
Thinking of this possibility, Jing Ling looked at the two beasts, who seemed perfectly fine.
His heart was on fire!
—Even if they aren't his Soul Spirits, the Sect Master is his big shot!
He immediately summoned his Martial Soul and activated his third Soul Ring.
A black light flashed.
His Soul Spirit, the Meat Mountain Giant Elephant, jumped out from his chest, yawning lazily.
Following that, it froze!
Daming and Erming, the two beasts, were on either side of it, their huge eyeballs scanning its entire body.
The Meat Mountain Giant Elephant, which in its previous life had only been a thousand-year Soul Beast, trembled! What is this?! It looked to its own host for help, You, say something!
Jing Ling shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands in a helpless gesture.
He didn't have any say in this matter either.
The Meat Mountain Giant Elephant: "..."
Having you as a host is really unlucky!!!
