Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Demonic forest.

How could it be the Demon Forest within the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire?

Xu Shu remembered that his goal was to follow the academy teachers all the way south back to Shrek Academy.

Why did we head straight west, crossing the Mingdou Mountains, the Sun and Moon Empire's army, and then the Jingyang Mountains, to reach the Demon Forest northwest of Mingdu?

Helpless, Xu Shu opened the system log and read it repeatedly before finally understanding why.

A special event has been triggered.

After Xu Shu unleashed his full power, Xiao Xiao and her group traveled south and rested in Tian Dou City.

Lin Huiqun learned about the 100,000-year-old fire-attribute soul beast from the local Jubao Pavilion.

Ever since Elder Mu instructed that a 100,000-year soul ring be obtained for Ma Xiaotao, the Treasure Pavilion, which is located all over the continent, has been operating at full capacity.

Lingshan Mountain Range, Sunset Forest, Hurricane Canyon, Mingdou Mountain Range, Jingyang Mountain Range, Mingdou Great Forest, Demon Forest...

Jubao Pavilion will reward anyone who can provide accurate eyewitness accounts of a 100,000-year-old fire-attribute soul beast with a high reward.

Sure enough, a person who had escaped from the Sun Moon Empire provided information to the Treasure Pavilion of Heavenly Dou City.

It is said that he witnessed a 100,000-year-old fire-attribute evil eye in the Demon Forest of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The Shrek Seven Devils had heard of the Fire-attribute Evil Eye Tyrant before.

Their race is known as the Fire Evil Tyrants; they are entirely red, have tentacles, and exude a scorching aura.

The provided soul rings and soul skills are not based on the spiritual attributes of the Evil Eye Tyrant clan, but are pure fire attribute soul skills.

Generally speaking, the Fire Tyrant, a race subordinate to the Evil Eye Tyrant, only has a lifespan of 7 to 9 years.

Unexpectedly, someone actually saw the 100,000-year-old Fire Tyrant in the Demon Forest.

On the Douluo Continent, every 100,000-year-old soul beast is extremely precious.

Coincidentally, the Fire Demon Tyrant is generally just a concubine of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant in the Evil Eye Tyrant clan, and is not a direct descendant of the 800,000-year-old Evil Emperor.

There is no spiritual imprint on its body, so killing it will not trigger the Evil Emperor.

Such a fitting piece of news about a 100,000-year-old fire-attribute soul beast naturally made Shrek Academy's group eager to verify its authenticity.

That's where the tragedy lies.

Xu Shu set a goal for Xiao Xiao: to return to the academy with the teacher.

Its word order priority follows that of the teacher.

Therefore, when Yan Shaozhe and his group arrived at the Demon Forest, Xiao Xiao followed them.

"Xiao Xiao, the Demon Forest is dangerous. You can wait for us outside the forest."

Before parting, Lin Huiqun gave him solemn instructions.

"We will definitely be back within half a day. But if anything goes wrong, and a strong fighting atmosphere erupts in the forest, you should run back to the Jingyang Mountains we came from. We will fly towards Mingdu and pin the blame for today's probing on the Sun Moon Empire."

After listening to Lin Huiqun's words, Xu Shu crossed his legs and clapped his hands playfully.

"666, when it comes to lineage, you old Shrek kids are the real deal!"

"This trash Shrek Academy is doomed sooner or later. Once my Xiao Xiao is banned, all of you will have to go to work. Don't even think about teaching."

"Understood, Grandma Lin."

Hearing the mocking words of the gods in her ear, Xiao Xiao was confused, but she answered Lin Huiqun seriously.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao did not sense anything was wrong.

Having received aristocratic education from Dou Er since childhood and influenced by the mindset of Xu Shu players, Xiao Xiao's attitude towards ordinary commoners is to ignore them.

Therefore, when she heard about Lin Huiqun and others' behavior, she had no idea what would happen to so many ordinary people in Mingdu.

Of course, Xu Shu was just making a joke.

After all, NPCs are just there to establish their personas; they automatically respawn when they die.

The waiting time is quite long.

Taking advantage of this free time, Xu Shu imported the revised and slightly modified version of Five Qi Gathering Record 3.0 into Douluo Continent II.

Compared to the 2.0 method, the 3.0 method begins to expand the tiny meridians throughout Xiao Xiao's body on the basis of the Great Circulation.

This is a normal version tweak and maintenance.

Roar--

After a long while, a loud roar came from the demonic forest in front of Xiao Xiao.

Helpless, Xu Shu controlled Xiao Xiao to jump up from the ground, summoned the flying soul tool in Biyuntian, and began to escape.

【Ding--】

[An unexpected encounter has been detected. The will of Douluo Star has activated, and the 7-year-old soul beast Xie Zhi, originally belonging to the character Xiao Xiao, is foraging for food in the Demon Forest.]

Upon seeing the message notification that popped up in the game, Xu Shu's eyes sharpened.

After a moment's thought, Xu Shu opened the panel's dialogue interface and spoke softly:

"The Xie Zhi is an ancient mythical beast that symbolizes justice and judgment. It has a strong spiritual deterrent effect on those who are judged to be evil."

"Originally, it was supposed to become Xiao Xiao's soul spirit later on, providing her with soul skills that could seal her spirit and enhance her power."

"We actually encountered this thing when we were almost at the fifth ring. It really is the power of Douluo's will."

"However, this Xie Zhi is a bit too young, only 70,000 years old. If we could persuade the Xie Zhi..."

"That's settled then. I'm going to raise this Xie Zhi. I wonder what kind of even more powerful soul skill it will bring to Xiao Xiao after it reaches 100,000 years old."

Xu Shu closed the character panel and controlled Xiao Xiao to fly towards the source of the previous roar.

After a while.

Xu Shu easily found the 7-year-old Xie Zhi feeding in the demon forest filled with black and dark green trees.

All I can say is that the Douluo Will's influence is far too powerful.

Roar--

Upon seeing Xiao Xiao, the Xie Zhi immediately tensed its limbs and roared a warning to Xiao Xiao to leave.

In the Xie Zhi's diet, evil spirit beasts are its prey; it has no interest in humans.

"I know you can understand me."

Xu Shu controlled Xiao Xiao to speak.

"As an ancient and unique species, your intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary soul beasts, not to mention that you are a 70,000-year-old soul beast."

"I've come to you because I want to make a deal with you."

Roar--

The Xie Zhi roared impatiently again, signaling Xiao Xiao not to bother it.

Seeing this, Xu Shu manipulated Xiao Xiao to summon her own martial soul and unfold her soul rings.

Purple, black, red, red.

The bright red light illuminated the dim forest in an instant.

"As you can see, I have already obtained the inheritance of the Divine Trial and possess two 100,000-year soul rings."

"You are a perfect match for my martial soul, and I want you to sacrifice yourself for me. I can guarantee that in the future I will take you to the God Realm, just like Tang San, the Sea God ten thousand years ago."

Roar--

The Xie Zhi let out a low growl, its eyes filled with distrust of Xiao Xiao.

After all, it was just a 70,000-year-old soul beast.

It didn't believe that a Soul Master with 100,000-year-old Soul Rings needed the sacrifice of a mere 70,000-year-old Soul Beast.

Moreover, Xiao Xiao is only level 43 now, far from needing to acquire a soul ring.

With the help of the system's translation, Xu Shu understood the meaning of Xie Zhi on the screen.

"Don't you believe me?"

Xu Shu manipulated Xiao Xiao to suppress her martial spirit and soul power, and extended her right hand.

"Of course I don't need your sacrifice now. Instead, I will take you to a small dimension that God has opened up for me."

"You can grow rapidly within it until you become a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"At the same time, you don't need to be completely sacrificed. You can retain a part of your spiritual essence and live on in my sea of ​​consciousness. You can witness firsthand how I take you to ascend to the realm of gods."
