Chapter 215 Crimson King: Put the auspicious beast down!
The secrets of the Spirit Pagoda record some of the deeds of its founder, Spirit Ice Douluo.
Those yellowed pages and ancient texts tell the story of that legendary figure's life.
One of the most legendary stories about him is his tale with the auspicious beast.
The Imperial Beast, the chosen one of destiny in the Star Dou Great Forest, transformed into human form and fell in love with Huo Yuhao.
She stayed by his side, protected him, and gave him everything.
In the end, she even chose to sacrifice herself to save Huo Yuhao.
He gave all his luck and power to him at the cost of his life.
The Starry Sky Forest lost its auspicious beast, and all the beasts rebelled.
In response, they launched a beast tide against Shrek Academy.
It was a catastrophe; Shrek Academy was almost destroyed.
It was this beast tide that prompted Huo Yuhao to bring out the Soul Spirit System, which quelled the fury of the Star Dou Great Forest and brought peace.
Of course, Huo Yuhao also learned a lot about the love story between "himself" and the auspicious beast from his good brother, Du Qingyuan, who was also a fan of unofficial history.
Those stories are more convoluted, more moving, and more bizarre than official history.
Despite knowing that there was little credibility to this, Huo Yuhao was still significantly affected.
Those stories, like seeds, were planted in his heart, took root, sprouted, and grew into a dense forest.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao's emotions were very complicated after finally seeing the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest.
His heart was filled with a jumble of emotions, like a spilled bottle of flavors—sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty—all mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish which flavor it was.
There was surprise, emotion, heartache, and a touch of inexplicable guilt.
Although the auspicious beast before her had not yet taken human form, had not yet become "Wang Qiu'er", and had not yet met "Huo Yuhao".
But Huo Yuhao knew that in the original trajectory of her destiny, she was the only one who would sacrifice her life for him!
That story, like a knife, was etched into his heart, leaving him unable to find peace.
The auspicious beast's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Huo Yuhao, and lingered there for a long time.
This was not only because Huo Yuhao was looking at it strangely, but also because it sensed an unusual fluctuation of "fate" emanating from the other person.
That fluctuation was something it had never felt in humans before, yet it felt strangely familiar and intimate, as if there was some unseen connection between the two.
Faced with the auspicious beast's unabashed "food-stealing" behavior, Xuanzi, who had the highest cultivation level, stepped forward.
He stepped forward, scrutinizing the auspicious beast, a glint of shrewdness flashing in its earth-yellow eyes.
He then glanced at Wang Dong and said, "This soul beast is also of the light attribute, much stronger than that Radiant Winged Wolf."
Sensing the malice emanating from Xuanzi, the auspicious beast spoke again: "No human can withstand my soul ring."
Its tone was calm, without the slightest fear, as if stating a self-evident fact.
Xuanzi clearly didn't believe such an explanation. He snorted coldly and instantly completed the Martial Soul Possession, unleashing a powerful aura from his body.
Suddenly, two horns on his head lit up, and a beam of earthy yellow light, as fast as lightning, rushed straight towards the auspicious beast.
A yellowish-brown light shield instantly formed, enveloping the auspicious beast within it.
Just then, three roars came from afar.
The roar was deafening, like a thunderclap, echoing through the forest.
In the blink of an eye, a red streak of light flashed by, moving at an astonishing speed, and another figure appeared before everyone.
This is also a soul beast, over five meters long, extremely robust, and covered in crimson fur.
The intense red was like fire, like burning magma, radiating a scorching heat in the dappled light and shadow.
He looks somewhat like a lion, but has three huge "dog heads".
Three heads, six eyes—the latest update is now online and awaits your interpretation. Each head has a gaping maw, revealing gleaming white fangs, ferocious and terrifying.
As soon as he appeared, he stood in front of the auspicious beast, his massive body completely obscuring it.
His three pairs of eyes were full of vigilance as they swept across the faces of the four men, their hostility undisguised.
He stared at Xuanzi and said, "You're that guy from Shrek Academy."
Xuanzi recognized the other person, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his earthy yellow eyes.
He said in a deep voice, "The Crimson King?"
That's right, the one who appeared at this moment was none other than the auspicious beast's personal bodyguard and nanny, the Crimson King, ranked eighth among the ten ferocious beasts!
Knowing he was no match for Xuanzi, the Red King quickly organized his thoughts, prioritizing the protection of the auspicious beast above all else. He could neither provoke the other nor show weakness.
After a moment, he looked at Xuanzi and said, "The beast behind me is the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest. Release it, and we will leave immediately."
"If you dare to hurt it, the entire Star Dou Great Forest will not let you off the hook."
This is not bluffing. The Imperial Beast is the source of the Star Dou Great Forest's destiny. If something happens to it, the entire Star Dou Great Forest will erupt in chaos.
Xuanzi glanced at the auspicious beast trapped behind the Crimson King by his own earth prison, a thoughtful look flashing in his earthy yellow eyes.
In his mind, he also thought of some records from Shrek Academy, those ancient books did indeed mention the existence of the Imperial Beast.
With a thought, the yellow light prison that had trapped the auspicious beast slowly rose, carrying the beast towards him.
The Crimson King immediately unleashed his power, his crimson hair standing on end like a burning flame.
His three heads opened their mouths simultaneously, revealing gleaming white fangs, and let out a deep roar.
His voice was filled with anger and anxiety: "What are you trying to do? Are you really prepared to bear the wrath of the entire galaxy?"
The Red King dared not act rashly, fearing that Xuanzi might recklessly harm the auspicious beast.
Xuanzi seemed to have seen through the Red King's hesitation, and he snorted, "Don't worry, I won't harm its life."
The auspicious beast floated in front of Xuanzi, and the earthen-yellow light cage, like an invisible giant hand, steadily held it in mid-air.
At this moment, the Red King could only watch helplessly, like a powerless husband.
His three heads were raised high, and his six eyes were wide open.
He wanted to rush forward and save the auspicious beast, but he didn't dare.
He feared that if he made a move, the human would then harm the auspicious beast.
He could only stand there, his claws digging deep into the earth, letting out a low, suppressed roar.
Xuanzi chuckled, his laughter filled with smugness and cunning.
He stroked his gray beard and said, "Since we've run into each other, it must be fate. It is said that where auspicious beasts reside, all beasts protect them, and their status is supreme; humans can guide them."
Xuanzi then looked at Huo Yuhao, a hint of expectation flashing in his earthy yellow eyes.
He added, "The guidance of destiny can draw the auspicious energy of this mythical beast to you, which will greatly benefit your future cultivation!"
After learning that the other party was an auspicious beast, Xuanzi made this decision.
This is not only because in his eyes Huo Yuhao is the future of Shrek Academy, a prodigy.
This was also his way of thanking Huo Yuhao for turning the tide in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, preventing his past mistake from leading to irreparable consequences.
The Crimson King roared again, "No! Put the auspicious beast down!"
The Crimson King didn't know what this so-called destiny guide was, but it dared not take the risk.
Xuanzi completely ignored the Crimson King's roar, his gaze remaining fixed on Huo Yuhao's face, waiting for the boy's reaction.
However, he did not see excitement or agitation in Huo Yuhao's eyes; instead, he sensed a hint of anger between his brows.
This really baffled Xuanzi. He was clearly helping Huo Yuhao and giving him a tremendous opportunity, so why wasn't Huo Yuhao happy?
