Kapitel 41: Chapter 41: Demon Beasts, Magical Beasts, and the Lake of Life!
With that, Lu Yunzhou and the others returned to the Cloud Vessel, continuing their journey toward the core area of the Star Dou Forest.
Left behind in the wake of their departure, the Shrek group stood stunned, bewildered by the scene they had just witnessed.
"With just a few moves, they killed a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape, and took Xiao Wu away... Just who are
they?" Oscar murmured, his face brimming with curiosity.
At this, Ma Hongjun's face turned slightly pale as he spoke in a timid
tone, "Four Titled Douluo... Looks like something big, or maybe a massive battle, is about to go down in the Star Dou Forest. We'd
better get out of here fast."
Hearing his reminder, everyone took it to heart. After a brief rest, the Shrek group unanimously decided to leave the dangerous area.
"What a pity we didn't realize Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast! If we'd known, killed her, and taken her soul ring, I, Fatty,
would've been unstoppable!" Ma Hongjun remarked, his face showing unmistakable regret, entirely serious, clearly not joking.
Hearing this, Dai Mubai nodded slightly, clearly sharing Ma Hongjun's thoughts.
Nearby, Ning Rongrong sighed and spoke dejectedly, "If I'd known she was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast earlier, I'd have brought
Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa along."
After this trip to the Star Dou Forest, Ning Rongrong decided to return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and attend the Heaven Dou
Imperial Academy. The reason? It was simply safer there! Besides, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy had a Simulation Training Ground, a
rare treasure for low-level Soul Masters. Ning Rongrong couldn't understand why she had chosen to attend this so-called "Monster" Academy in the first place.
Meanwhile, on the Cloud Vessel...
Using an artifact he had crafted, the "Dragon Binding Rope," Lu Yunzhou securely tied up Xiao Wu. Though his knots weren't the most
elegant, they served their purpose well enough.
Standing nearby, the Titled Douluo-level experts Devil Bear, Ghost Leopard, Porcupinefish, and Serpent Spear all stared intently at Xiao
Wu, like hungry wolves eyeing a lamb. Were it not for Lu Yunzhou's presence, they likely would have torn Xiao Wu to shreds by now. After
all, she was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, capable of providing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone—items
every Soul Master dreamed of obtaining, and no exception for these four.
Under the intense gaze of four Titled Douluo, Xiao Wu was petrified, her terror momentarily erasing her earlier fury.
After a long pause, she finally spoke, trembling, "What...what do you want? If you're going to kill me, just make it quick!"
At her words, Lu Yunzhou's lips curved into a subtle smile. Meeting her gaze, he answered, "Ordinary people can become cultivators, and
Soul Masters can become cultivators too. But I'm curious—can Soul Beasts evolve into demon beasts or magical beasts, creatures
associated with cultivation?"
With that, Lu Yunzhou approached Xiao Wu, lifting her chin to clarify, "I want you alive because I intend to use you for experimentation. But if you'd rather die, I can turn you into a soul ring whenever I please."
Stating his purpose plainly, Lu Yunzhou leaned closer to add a final, chilling threat, "If you don't want to live, just let me know. I'll gladly
consider ways to make you suffer before your end. But if you value your life, you'd better behave. Who knows? If I'm in a good mood
someday, I might even spare you."
Patting her on the shoulder, Lu Yunzhou instructed Serpent Spear and Porcupinefish to keep a strict watch on Xiao Wu.
Nearby, Qian Renxue listened to Lu Yunzhou's words, falling into deep thought.
"Ordinary people? I get how they can become cultivators...but how can Soul Masters transform into cultivators? And what are demon
beasts and magical beasts?"
With these thoughts in mind, Qian Renxue decided to approach Lu Yunzhou. She turned to Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard, saying,
"Elders, please step out. I have matters to discuss with Mr. Lu."
Obediently, Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard responded, "As you command, young master," before respectfully departing.
Seeing Qian Renxue wanted to speak, Lu Yunzhou didn't turn her down, directly asking, "What's on your mind?"
Hearing his question, Qian Renxue thought, "Why does this rude man have to be so curt with me? Would a couple more words kill him?"
Still, she put on a friendly smile and asked, "Just now, I heard you say that Soul Masters can become cultivators. So, I wanted to ask how we
Soul Masters could make that transformation, and if our strength would change or diminish afterward. Also, what exactly are demon
beasts and magical beasts?"
Faced with her questions, Lu Yunzhou explained, "For a Soul Master to become a cultivator, they need to cultivate an inner energy
technique. Once they do, they'll retain their original strength; for example, a Soul Douluo would correspond to the ninth level of Qi
Refinement, a Soul Sage to the eighth, and so on down."
[Note: Reaching the peak of Qi Refinement = Level 90 Titled
Douluo.]
Lu Yunzhou then elaborated on demon beasts and magical beasts. "Demon beasts and magical beasts are quite similar to Soul Beasts.
But their strength far exceeds that of Soul Beasts. Powerful demon beasts can soar to the skies, reshape the heavens, summon wind and
rain, or ride the clouds with ease."
"Above demon beasts are divine beasts and immortal beasts. Such creatures could wipe out the entire Douluo Continent—or even the
whole Douluo Star—without a second thought."
After hearing his explanation, Qian Renxue gulped involuntarily.
Demon beasts that powerful? Was he serious? And what were divine and immortal beasts? Could they really destroy the continent with a
mere breath? And then...what was Douluo Star?
And what about the inner energy technique Lu Yunzhou mentioned...
What was that?
As Qian Renxue pondered these mysteries, the Cloud Vessel arrived at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest's core region, where the
hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python awaited their arrival.
