Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 327: Misfortunate Bear King and Fortunate Bi Ji

"Ah? Bi Ji didn't come back with us?" Chi Wang looked around in confusion, realizing indeed that an emerald silhouette was missing.

Di Tian's face stiffened, his aura turning somewhat desolate and shattered.

"She probably has something to deal with Du Qianjue. Let it be, no need to worry. You all go back to your respective territories," Di Tian said, forcing calmness into his voice.

Only he knew the pain in his heart!

Well, he could not win back Bi Ji's heart after all.

The pain was too much! (Toothpick Yun screams.jpg)

Clever Wan Yao Wang was the first to sense that something was off, greeted Di Tian, and decisively left.

Zi Ji looked at Di Tian with a hint of resentment, then quietly left the Lake of Life. Like Wan Yao Wang, she sensed Di Tian's thoughts, and she actually harbored true feelings for Di Tian. Unfortunately, without Bi Ji around, Di Tian hadn't given her a second thought.

Love unrequited, she wondered when Di Tian would finally turn to look at her.

Chi Wang, though not the brightest, sensed something was off and quickly scattered.

Only Bear King still stood there, dumbly.

Di Tian turned around, his eyes deep as he looked at Bear King: "Do you need something?"

Bear King, with his straightforward nature, did not perceive Di Tian's frustration. For the Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear tribe, liking someone didn't involve emotions; you simply subdued a mate.

Emotions? What are those? I, Bear King, do not understand.

"Di Tian, I didn't expect that human to become so powerful after ascending to godhood, to even suppress our master. I am so fired up, fight me, let me grow stronger through battle!" Bear King said with a face full of fervor.

He was too eager to improve.

Di Tian raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his gaze.

Wow, just as he was frustrated and found nowhere to vent, here was this tough sandbag delivered to him!

Di Tian was thrilled.

"Alright, I will satisfy you," Di Tian said as his right hand slowly lifted, transforming into a dark dragon claw, his lips curling into a dangerous arc.

Bear King was ecstatic. He didn't catch the underlying meaning and, hearing Di Tian's agreement to his challenge, immediately got pumped up, eagerly revealing his true form—a Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear over thirty meters tall, bellowing up to the sky.

Just as Di Tian was about to charge, a telepathic message reached him.

Di Tian nodded slightly and revealed his true form as the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, just like Bear King. Bear King might be large, but he looked rather small compared to Di Tian.

The true form of the 800,000-year-old Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, even without counting the tail, stood taller than Bear King.

Originally, Di Tian didn't plan to use his true form to brutally beat Bear King, since Bear King had offered himself as a punching bag, but then he heard that telepathic message.

"Hit him hard, let him learn his lesson!"

Even though it was just a telepathic message, Di Tian could hear Gu Yuena's suppressed rage.

What does it mean 'even the master could be suppressed'? If it weren't for me slashing my powers, could he have humiliated me so easily?

Already frustrated and drawing circles in an alternate space, Gu Yuena exploded when she heard Bear King's words that seemed to mock her, and her lungs nearly burst with anger.

Thus, not long after Wan Yao Wang and Chi Wang had returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, they heard Bear King's screams echoing throughout the forest, along with the constant sounds of landslides and heavy objects falling.

History would remember this day as: The Ordeal of Bear King.

…

After closing the spatial channel, Du Qianjue turned around and saw Bi Ji standing there prettily.

"Hmm? Bi Ji, why didn't you go back to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Du Qianjue asked, surprised.

Bi Ji huffed, somewhat displeased, "What, you don't welcome me here?"

"No, just curious," Du Qianjue shook his head.

He had made it clear, indeed planning to take Di Tian and others to the Haotian Sect, not for their strength, but to witness Di Tian denounce Heavenly Bull Titan and Titan Giant as traitors.

Unfortunately, that was no longer possible.

Who knew Gu Yuena would come along and complicate things, making Du Qianjue lose interest.

After offending Gu Yuena that way, and yet Bi Ji hadn't returned to the Star Dou Great Forest with Di Tian and the others, Du Qianjue was indeed curious.

"I stayed because I have a matter to attend to," Bi Ji said softly, then brushed her forehead hair aside to reveal an emerald wing mark.

"This is…" Du Qianjue involuntarily widened his eyes.

Wow, this thing looks so darn familiar!

Du Qianjue glanced at the snowflake mark on Xu Linglong's forehead and touched the mark on his own forehead where the Scepter of Destruction and the Ancient Tree of Life overlapped.

Feeling quite strange, he murmured, "Yes, this is a divine inheritance, a god named the God of Healing. A few days ago, while I was healing a wounded soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, suddenly I heard the voice of a divine trial in my mind, and this mark appeared on my forehead."

"Do you know what this is about?"

You're asking me, how would I know?

Du Qianjue's lips twitched. He hadn't heard of the God of Healing! Where was he supposed to find out about this?

But the God of Healing...

Could it be from the Life Goddess faction?

But why would the divine inheritance be granted to Bi Ji? Was it to groom her as an ally?

"Little one, stop wondering; it is as you suspect," the gentle voice of the Life Goddess whispered in Du Qianjue's ear, "Rest assured, this divine position is no trap. Let her pursue the inheritance earnestly."

"Thank you, senior," Du Qianjue nodded subtly, then turned to Bi Ji.

"The divine position is safe; you can proceed with confidence. You might be the only soul beast besides Xu Linglong to receive a divine inheritance!"

Du Qianjue couldn't help but sigh. In the original Douluo Continent, it was impossible for soul beasts to become gods. The only god-like soul beast, Gu Yuena, was questionable, and due to his arrival, not only did Xu Linglong receive the inheritance of the Ice God, but Bi Ji also received the inheritance of the God of Healing.

It was somewhat dramatic.

Du Qianjue's response also relieved Bi Ji. She didn't feel much excitement about receiving the divine position, rather a bit of fear and anxiety.

Bi Ji truly wanted to advance, but she didn't want to become someone else's pawn, especially not a pawn against Du Qianjue.

Since Du Qianjue said there was no problem, she felt confident to proceed with the divine trial.

"Since you're here, why not join me on a trip to Haotian Sect?" Du Qianjue asked. "Heavenly Bull Titan and Titan Giant would surely be surprised to see you."

"Hehehe…"

Bi Ji chuckled and nodded, "No problem. I also want to see how those who pledged loyalty to the Sea God are doing now. Is life treating them well?"

Now, the question arose.

Should the entire Ben Ti Sect mobilize to raid that unknown Haotian Sect, or should Electrolux launch a Necromantic Catastrophe, turning the disciples of Haotian Sect into his nourishment?

That was a question.

Considering the undead nature of necromantic creatures, Du Qianjue opted for the latter.

Not only would it allow him to annihilate Haotian Sect completely, but it would also enhance Electrolux's power. Why not?

The newly ascended god Electrolux was in dire need of materials from strong opponents!

Haotian Sect's members would probably be more than willing to contribute to Electrolux's empowerment, albeit insignificantly.

After all, every one of their corpses would be a future bullet aimed at Tang San!

Du Qianjue stretched out his hand and tore open a huge rift. He and Xu Linglong, Du Busi, and Bi Ji stepped through the spatial channel Du Qianjue tore open, and in an instant, they arrived at Haotian Sect.
