Douluo Dragon King: The Calamity of the Dead, Reviving Qian Renxue

then.

With the authority of the deputy tower master, Leng Yaozhu retrieved almost all the souls stored in the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can tear apart a thousand-year-old soul beast in a hundred years, and can rival a ten-thousand-year-old beast in a thousand years.

The Blazing Fire Dragon is a sub-dragon species with a trace of the Fire Dragon King's bloodline; its breath can melt gold and break iron.

The Ice Crystal Phoenix, the overlord of the far north, can freeze ten miles with its wings spread.

The Netherworld Cat, the epitome of speed, is said to be able to traverse shadows when cultivated to its peak.

One after another, top-tier spirits, capable of causing bloodshed in the outside world, were displayed on the screen.

Luoyang looked at it very carefully.

But each time, he slowly shook his head.

"not enough."

"Almost."

"It still doesn't work."

Leng Yaozhu's hands, which were operating the control panel, gradually became numb.

She has already displayed seventy-three top-tier spirits, which is almost the entirety of the Spirit Tower headquarters' collection over the past century.

But none of them in Luoyang were satisfactory!

"You've reviewed almost all the top-tier souls in the virtual ecosystem," Leng Yaozhu said, looking at Luo Yang with a hint of helplessness. "Haven't you found one that satisfies you yet?"

Luo Yang frowned slightly and slowly shook his head.

Most of these spirits were only "good," but far from meeting his standards of "perfection" or "ultimate."

If there really isn't a better option, perhaps the only thing left to consider is that... "simp" giant ape?

"boom--!!!"

At that very moment, the entire Spirit Transmission Tower trembled violently!

Dust fell softly from the ceiling of the testing room, and the soul-guiding lamps flickered. In the distance, the roars and screams of beasts could be faintly heard, the chaotic sounds growing louder as they approached.

"What's going on?" Xue Ba instantly entered battle mode and stood in front of Luo Yang.

Leng Yaozhu's expression changed, and just as she was about to contact the control center, the door to the testing room was suddenly pushed open.

A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the Spirit Pagoda rushed in, his face pale and his voice trembling.

"Your Majesty, Heavenly Phoenix! Something terrible has happened! The soul beasts in the confinement layer... have all escaped!"

"What?!"

Leng Yaozhu suddenly stood up.

--------

At the same time, in the forbidden zone of the Spirit Pagoda's Soul Beast Circle.

This place, which should have been an orderly prison area, has now been reduced to ruins.

The alloy-cast cage was violently torn open, leaving claw marks and bloodstains all over the ground. The air was thick with the stench of soul beasts and the violent fluctuations of soul power.

Dozens of Spirit Pagoda staff were frantically trying to control the situation and force the fleeing soul beasts back into their cages.

But many more soul beasts are still struggling and roaring.

At the heart of all this chaos stood a young man dressed in a magnificent Soul Master robe.

The ancient Zhangting Pavilion.

This outstanding member of the younger generation of the ancient family had a livid face and his fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

At twelve years old, he was already a four-ring Soul Master, a true genius among his peers. He came to the Forbidden Soul Layer today to obtain his fourth Soul Ring.

With his cultivation level as a fourth-ring Soul Master, absorbing a suitable ten-thousand-year-old Soul Spirit was a natural progression.

But not long ago, he accidentally discovered an extremely rare thousand-year-old soul beast, a golden-haired lion mastiff!

Although this beast has only a thousand years of cultivation, it is exceptionally talented and fierce, and its domineering aura is subtly in harmony with the martial spirit "Panlong Staff" it inherited.

On a whim, he decided to "condescend" and form a soul contract with this thousand-year-old soul beast. He would then use the Ascension Platform to increase its age.

Everything should go smoothly.

But who could have imagined...

That damned beast pretended to be compliant during the contract process, and then suddenly broke free when he let his guard down! It not only smashed open its own cage, but also destroyed the binding magic array in the entire area with its claws!

What a disgrace! He, Qian Gu Zhang Ting, was actually tricked by a beast!

"A bunch of useless trash!" Qian Gu Zhangting roared at his subordinates, "They can't even keep an eye on a thousand-year-old soul beast!"

The staff remained silent, none daring to speak.

Suppressing his anger, Qian Gu Zhangting coldly asked, "Where did it run off to?"

"Reporting to...Young Master," a manager replied in a trembling voice, "the surveillance footage shows...the golden-haired lion mastiff went upstairs. The specific direction seems to be the testing area."

Test area?

Qian Gu Zhangting's eyes turned cold.

It seems there are some guests of Leng Yaozhu there today.

Ah, perfect.

If that beast hurts someone, the responsibility doesn't lie with him, since the soul beast rampage is an "accident".

"Chase."

Qian Gu Zhangting waved his hand, his voice icy cold.

"Even if I have to turn the Spirit Pagoda upside down, I'll bring that damned golden-haired lion back to me!"

Once we catch that beast, we'll make him pay the price for playing tricks on Qian Gu Zhang Ting!

--------

Soul beasts in the confined layer riot!

Leng Yaozhu's stunningly beautiful face was instantly covered with frost.

This is by no means a trivial matter.

The Spirit Pagoda's innermost level imprisons hundreds of living soul beasts, including many ferocious beings with a thousand years of cultivation, and even a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts as "treasury treasures".

Once these soul beasts completely lose control inside the tower, the damage they cause will be catastrophic.

"The reason?" Leng Yaozhu's voice was as cold as ice. "Who did it?"

The middle-aged man who came to report shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "It was...it was the young master of the Ancient Tower...He wanted to form a contract with a thousand-year-old golden-haired lion-mastiff, but that beast pretended to comply and then suddenly broke free halfway through the ceremony, destroying the binding magic array in half of the area..."

"The Ancient Pavilion?" Leng Yaozhu sneered.

Like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig holes, but this generation of the Qian Gu family is an exception.

Qian Gu Die Ting, a quasi-god level expert, single-handedly propelled his family to the pinnacle of power in the Spirit Tower.

Although Qian Gu Dongfeng's cultivation level was inferior to his father's, his political and strategic skills surpassed his father's, and he managed to build the Qian Gu family's power into an impregnable fortress.

But by the time of Qian Gu Zhang Ting...

An undisguised contempt flashed across Leng Yaozhu's eyes.

Despite being pampered by family resources, he barely reached the fourth ring at the age of fourteen. He is impetuous and arrogant. This kind of good-for-nothing doesn't even deserve her to give him a second glance.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Luoyang beside her.

At the age of six, he had not yet awakened his soul rings, but he already possessed the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm and the innate martial soul domain.

This is a true genius.

"Aunt Leng," Luo Yang suddenly spoke, "what exactly is the species of that thousand-year-old soul beast that escaped?"

"You say it," Leng Yaozhu said, looking at the middle-aged man.

"Yes, it's a golden-haired lion-dog with a thousand years of cultivation," the man quickly replied.

Luo Yang's eyes lit up.

Golden-haired lion mastiff, a pure numerical monster.

Ignoring all dragon might suppression, it can withstand the power of a titled Douluo in ten thousand years.

On the way to the Spirit Pagoda, this kind of spirit beast was one of his favorite choices.

"Are you interested?" Leng Yaozhu keenly noticed the change in his expression.

Luo Yang nodded calmly: "But this is the soul beast that Qian Gu Zhang Ting has his eye on."

"Lord Leng, are there any other golden-haired lion-dogs in the Spirit Pagoda?" Xue Ba interjected.

In her opinion, Luoyang's talent deserves the best.

Leng Yaozhu pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "Golden-haired lion mastiffs are already rare. In the existing records, there is only this one at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters."

A hint of regret flashed in Luo Yang's eyes.

It seems I'm not destined to be with this soul beast.

however--

"Since you like it," Leng Yaozhu suddenly spoke, a sharp light flashing in her crimson eyes, "Aunt Leng will bring this lion mastiff over for you."

Xue Ba was slightly taken aback.

Snatching a soul beast from Qian Gu Zhang Ting?

The woman's emphasis on Luoyang seemed to exceed her expectations.

"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Luo Yang hesitated.

"What's wrong with him?" Leng Yaozhu sneered. "The soul beast riot was caused by him, and the damage to the Spirit Pagoda is such that even if the Ancient Pagoda Master intervened, he would have to be confined for half a year. No matter what this golden-haired lion is like, he is not qualified to absorb it."

She didn't say one more thing: it was a complete waste for the golden-haired lion mastiff to fall into Qian Gu Zhangting's hands.

The voice just fell.

"Bang--!"

The door to the testing room was suddenly flung open.

A giant beast with golden fur rushed in.
