Chapter 155: The Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion! Come Back and Check It Yourself!
[Supreme Pope: And soul beasts above ten thousand years have only just begun to awaken intelligence, possessing only partial wisdom.]
[Supreme Pope: To reach the level of normal communication and independent thinking, they should at least require fifty thousand or even one hundred thousand years, right?]
[Supreme Pope: Are you sure you can understand what we're saying?]
Bibi Dong's doubt was not without reason.
According to the common understanding of human soul masters, ten-thousand-year soul beasts are intelligent, but that is only relative to wild beasts.
For something like the Auspicious Beast to speak in the group with such "human-level" intelligence was simply unheard of.
However, before the Auspicious Beast could reply,
The hot-tempered Zi Ji directly sent a disdainful emoji in the group.
[Abyss Witch: @Supreme Pope, hmph, ignorant human!]
[Abyss Witch: What you described are standards for low-level soul beasts!]
[Abyss Witch: Just like how your human soul master's cultivation depends on martial soul quality, can a trash martial soul compare to a top-tier one?]
[Abyss Witch: For us soul beasts, cultivation naturally differs vastly depending on our bloodline!]
[Abyss Witch: The Auspicious Beast possesses an incomparably noble bloodline. From the moment of her birth, she already had extremely high intelligence. She doesn't need to slowly awaken like ordinary soul beasts!]
[Abyss Witch: And although she currently only has fifteen thousand years of cultivation,]
[Abyss Witch: In terms of actual combat power and spiritual power, she is fully comparable to a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast!]
Zi Ji's words left Bibi Dong speechless.
Fifteen thousand years equal to one hundred thousand years?
This conversion ratio was simply terrifying.
At this moment, the Auspicious Beast also came forward to add an explanation.
[Daughter of Fate: Hehe, Sister Zi Ji is right.]
[Daughter of Fate: But there's one more thing—originally, I only had a little over five thousand years of cultivation.]
[Daughter of Fate: However, when I obtained the diary copy earlier, the system gave me a guaranteed reward of "ten thousand years of cultivation."]
[Daughter of Fate: It was this ten-thousand-year cultivation boost that caused a qualitative change in my strength.]
[Daughter of Fate: So now, my intelligence and logical thinking ability should be equivalent to that of an adult human.]
[Daughter of Fate: That's nothing strange, right?]
Now everyone finally understood.
To make it clearer, the gentle Bi Ji also gave an example.
[Emerald Guardian: Actually, among soul beasts, there are hierarchies and clans.]
[Emerald Guardian: You human soul masters should know this.]
[Emerald Guardian: Let me give the simplest example—the Titan Giant Ape.]
[Emerald Guardian: A Titan Giant Ape with only a hundred years of cultivation can already crush an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast!]
{T/N: I think the author made a mistake here. A 100-year Titan Giant Ape cannot defeat an ordinary 1,000-year soul beast.
Titan Giant Ape needs at least 3,000 years of cultivation to defeat an ordinary 10,000-year soul beast. This is just my opinion. The reason is that its bloodline is not very high-end, like that of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear or the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.}
[Emerald Guardian: From this, you can infer that even a young Titan Giant Ape with only a few decades of cultivation already possesses some intelligence.]
[Emerald Guardian: If it also has elders by its side to protect and teach it, its awakening of intelligence might come even earlier.]
[Emerald Guardian: And the Auspicious Beast's bloodline is even more noble than that of the Titan Giant Ape.]
[I Don't Like Men: Auspicious Beast? What kind of soul beast is it exactly?]
[I Don't Like Men: Why can it, with only fifteen thousand years of cultivation, rival a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast?]
[I Don't Like Men: If we follow this comparison, does that mean it already has the ability to transform into human form?]
[Abyss Witch: There's no harm in telling you.]
[Abyss Witch: The Auspicious Beast is called the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!]
[Abyss Witch: It is a child of destiny born from the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest!]
[Abyss Witch: You can also understand it as the embodiment of the entire Star Dou Great Forest's fate!]
[Abyss Witch: With its existence, the cultivation speed of soul beasts living in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest will double!]
[Abyss Witch: Even the probability of surviving the one-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation will double!]
[Abyss Witch: Therefore, if any human dares to attack the Auspicious Beast, or even harm a single hair of it,]
[Abyss Witch: They will be attacked by all the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest!]
[Abyss Witch: Even Di Tian would fight to the death for her!]
[Abyss Witch: Oh, and by the way, Di Tian is the strongest in the Star Dou Great Forest aside from our lord, possessing
880,000 years of cultivation. Even your human Ultimate Douluo, who can use divine power, would not be his opponent.]
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Double cultivation speed? Double tribulation success rate?
And this Di Tian—was he really that powerful?
...
Star Dou Great Forest, beneath the Lake of Life.
Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the Auspicious Beast looked at each other.
"It seems humans really know very little about us," Bi Ji sighed softly.
Then, all three of their gazes fell on the Auspicious Beast.
All three of them had received the system's guaranteed reward of ten thousand years of cultivation.
For fierce beasts like Bi Ji and Zi Ji, who had hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, ten thousand years of cultivation was valuable but merely icing on the cake.
But for the Auspicious Beast, these ten thousand years of cultivation directly allowed it to leap from infancy into the growth stage!
Its strength had increased more than several times over!
A trace of envy flashed in Zi Ji's eyes.
Even with her pure-blooded true dragon lineage, she had to admit that at fifteen thousand years of cultivation, she absolutely did not possess the terrifying strength comparable to a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast like the Auspicious Beast.
Not to mention transformation.
At fifteen thousand years, she absolutely could not transform, and neither could other fierce beasts.
But the Auspicious Beast, if it wanted to now, could attempt transformation at any time!
This was the darling of the Star Dou Great Forest!
...
Inside the chat group.
[I Don't Like Men: Bibi Dong, go to Spirit Hall's highest-level secret vault immediately!]
[I Don't Like Men: Search carefully and see if there are any ancient records about the Auspicious Beast.]
[I Don't Like Men: If you can't find anything, go to the Douluo Hall and ask my grandfather.]
[I Don't Like Men: This matter is very important. Go do it now!]
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the lines of text on the screen that sounded like a superior ordering a subordinate, and her expression instantly darkened.
She had originally planned to check the records after hearing about the Auspicious Beast.
But being ordered around like this by her own daughter—
How could the proud Pope tolerate it?
"Impudent!"
"I am your mother! And the Pope of Spirit Hall!"
"What do you take me for? Your subordinate?"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly and directly snapped back in the group:
[Supreme Pope: Qian Renxue, have you gotten something wrong?]
[Supreme Pope: What I choose to do is my own decision!]
[Supreme Pope: It's not your place to command me!]
[Supreme Pope: Want the information? Come back and check it yourself!]
