“A 100,000-year-old Fire Cloud Crane, a fire-attribute soul beast.” Han Yu stroked his chin.
If he could obtain his soul ring, it would surely provide excellent soul skills.
In fact, besides the system helping to improve the strength of one’s martial soul, this fire-attribute soul beast might even be able to give one’s martial soul another mutation.
As a transmigrator, Han Yu knew that once a soul beast reached the 100,000-year stage and lived peacefully for a thousand years, it would face a heavenly tribulation.
Successfully surviving this challenge will increase their lifespan by 100,000 years, and their cultivation level can break through 200,000 years.
The Fire Cloud Crane suddenly went berserk, attacking people and other soul beasts.
This must be because of a great calamity, and being powerless to resist, it could only try to find treasures.
Whether it was true or not, Han Yu couldn’t be sure.
He asked, “Dean, when this soul beast appeared a thousand years ago, was it just breaking through to the 100,000-year level?”
Upon hearing this, Pei Feng laughed loudly, “Director Han, you guessed correctly.
When I was working at Spirit Hall, I happened to see an ancient book that did indeed contain a record of this Fire Cloud Crane.
It is exactly as you thought.
Moreover, this kind of Soul Beast is extremely rare, and I don’t think there will be a second one.”
Han Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
If his time is truly up, then he has at least a 90% chance of succeeding.
“Hehe, I heard from that old guy Orto that you’re planning to study 100,000-year-old soul beasts, right?” Pei Feng asked.
Han Yu nodded in confirmation.
“Hmm, not bad.
If you want to become the dean, you must make certain achievements in the research of Soul Master theory.
Researching 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts, that theory is enough to convince those guys in the Empire.”
‘Is the dean trying to make me his successor?’
Han Yu considered the other party’s actions today, and the outcome was self-evident.
However, he didn’t want to be trapped here for the rest of his life.
However, after thinking it over, he still didn’t voice his thoughts.
His savings aren’t much right now, not enough to support his business ventures in the Douluo Continent.
As long as he doesn’t quit his job, his salary won’t be lacking.
“Alright, you don’t need to be surprised.
You’re only in your early twenties, and you’ve been cultivating so diligently.
Now you’ve even reached the Soul Ancestor realm.
You are indeed qualified to serve as the Dean.”
“Dean, it’s me.”
“You don’t need to say anything more.
The strength of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is comparable to that of a powerful Titled Douluo.
Be careful in everything you do on this trip, and only observe from a distance.
Even if you don’t find anything to study, I, the dean, have other research topics for you to study.”
“Go ahead and do your research with peace of mind.
You’ll be on paid leave during this time.”
‘Dean, what I wanted to say was that I don’t want to inherit your position.’
Having said all that, Han Yu didn’t say anything more.
He nodded in agreement and left the academy, renting a carriage to head to the Star Dou Great Forest.
…
The Soul Beast Town in front of the Star Dou Great Forest has now been taken over by the Tian Dou Royal Army and the Spirit Hall Guard.
Except for Soul Masters who need to break through their limits, no one is allowed to enter.
Han Yu entered without any hindrance, citing his own advancement as the reason.
‘The place where the 100,000-year-old Fire Cloud Crane appears is very far from here; otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to get in.’
“The path of cultivation is inherently a struggle against man and against the heavens.
Moreover, I am defying fate.
If I cannot obtain this 100,000-year soul ring, I am afraid I have no future.”
If he fails to complete the mission, the system will kill him.
If he forcibly takes Xiao Wu’s Soul Ring, Tang Hao will kill him.
Therefore, finding another soul beast seems to be the least threatening option.
Knowing his own limitations, Han Yu dared not venture too far into the forest.
He followed the outermost edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, steadily approaching the location of Orto.
If he wants someone to sacrifice themselves for him, he first need to see them.
As for whether the other party will give him a chance to speak, Han Yu believes that as long as he says the key words, the other party will definitely listen to him finish.
People in dire need of medical help will try anything, let alone a soul beast.
Several days passed quietly, and relying on his martial soul’s affinity for the innate fire attribute, he found the right destination.
Not far in front of him, a crane-like soul beast with a wingspan of tens of meters and its whole body bathed in flames was attacking something in the forest.
‘Time waits for no one.’
Han Yu shouted at the top of his lungs, “I know your tribulation is coming, but I have a way to help you.”
At such a distance, the Fire Cloud Crane could hear him, but he couldn’t make out what he was saying.
“Human, you’re courting death!” Fire Cloud Crane roared to the sky and flew swiftly toward Han Yu.
The next moment, he flapped his wings, and flames swept across the sky.
“I know your tribulation is imminent, but I have a way to help you,” Han Yu shouted again, closing his eyes.
One second, two seconds.
The flames did not engulf him; instead, a huge figure landed in front of him.
A true 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Han Yu’s throat moved slightly as he tried to remain calm.
“Human brat, you actually know about the Heavenly Tribulation.
Tell me what methods you have.
If you displease me, your death is imminent.”
(TL: actually know??
Bro its pretty much known worldwide so long as you have learned even the basics that 100k soul beasts go through one, what they didn’t know is that beyond 100k there were more levels)
“I think you’ll be the one who dies!”
“Human, you’re courting death!” Fire Cloud Crane roared in anger.
“A thousand years ago, you broke through to the 100,000-year level.
A thousand years later, it happens to be the time when the first Heavenly Tribulation descends.
If I’m not mistaken, you must have suffered many hidden injuries in your body from your early years of fighting.
Facing the Heavenly Tribulation, you will ultimately only be annihilated.”
Hearing this, The Fire Cloud Crane did not get angry.
Seeing Han Yu’s confident demeanor again, he knew that this human in front of him really knew something.
“Then tell me, how should I overcome this heavenly tribulation?
If I succeed, even if you are human, I will still be willing to be your brother.”
“I have no choice.”
Han Yu shook his head.
The heavenly tribulation was ordained by the gods, and he, a mere mortal, had no right to stop it.
“Are you playing tricks on me, Your Excellency?!” The Fire Cloud Crane’s face was extremely ugly.
“Unless you choose to transform into human form immediately, you will likely have many enemies in the Soul Beast Realm, and once you transform, you will surely die.”
Seeing the hesitation in The Fire Cloud Crane’s eyes, Han Yu continued, “I have a way to exempt you from the heavenly tribulation and allow you to directly advance to the level of a divine beast.”
“Human brat, are you kidding me?” Becoming a divine beast is the goal every soul beast strives for.
If it were that easy, why would soul beasts need to stay in the Douluo Continent?
“I’m not joking.”
The Fire Cloud Crane pondered for a moment and asked, “Human, tell me your method.
If I succeed, I will cover your cultivation resources.”
Han Yu feigned a sigh: “You won’t agree to this method, so I’d rather not say anything.”
The Fire Cloud Crane’s curiosity had already been piqued, and even if Han Yu said it, the other party would think more about it and wouldn’t think he was lying.
“Human, I swear, whether your methods work or not, I will ensure your safe departure.
If you disobey, may lightning strike and reduce you to ashes.”
Han Yu smiled inwardly.
The strategy of feigning indifference to lure the prey worked.
“The method is simple: you offer yourself as a sacrifice to me, which is an investment.
I can swear on my Martial Soul that as long as I become a god, I will resurrect you in the God Realm.
At that time, you will be a true divine beast.”
