Soul Land 2: Golden Dragon King

A soul beast that doesn't like to fight isn't a good soul beast.

Bear Lord's dissatisfaction with Di Tian had been brewing for a long time. However, it wasn't because he was displeased with what Di Tian did, but rather because he was dissatisfied with his status as the Beast God of the Great Star Dou Forest.

Why should you, Di Tian, be the Beast God?!

Having never suffered the brutal beatdown of reality from Di Tian, Bear Lord was quite bold. He believed he was no weaker than Di Tian. If Di Tian could sit in the position of the Beast God, then why couldn't he?

Why should kings and nobles be born into their status?

If this were another world, Bear Lord would absolutely be a rebellion leader—though he would likely be a nameless grunt cut down within three days.

Still, that kind of courage deserved some encouragement.

And what about Di Tian?

As the Beast God of the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian also bore the responsibility of protecting Gu Yuena. This duty prevented him from acting as he pleased—every decision required careful consideration.

Maintaining the internal unity of the Star Dou Forest was naturally part of Di Tian's responsibilities.

That's why, most of the time, he simply ignored Bear Lord's provocations. It was only the last time, when that reckless fool went way too far with his insults, that Di Tian couldn't hold back and taught him a lesson.

And that idiot Bear Lord?

Even when Di Tian wasn't using his full strength and was merely toying with him, Bear Lord had the audacity to launch a Sky-Tearing Claw straight at him. Caught off guard, Di Tian suffered a minor injury—but the moment he got serious, he smashed Bear Lord into the ground and beat him senseless within seconds.

That was why Bear Lord had been behaving himself for quite some time.

But perhaps it had just been too long since his last beating—because now, Bear Lord suddenly felt like he could do it again. His courage returned.

His usual petty tricks to get on Di Tian's nerves were tolerable—Di Tian couldn't be bothered to deal with them. Otherwise, if Bear Lord really pushed his limits, Di Tian worried that he might accidentally use his Dragon God Claw and slap him to death.

And then the Star Dou Forest would lose its number-one musclehead.

But now, this reckless fool actually had the nerve to give Lin Yun an attitude in front of Di Tian.

Did Di Tian look like the type to put up with that?

"Bear Lord, I hope your strength matches your arrogance."

Di Tian, having revealed his Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King form, was twice as tall as Bear Lord. His ferocious dragon head lowered, looking down upon him with contempt.

He could have grown even larger—but there was no need. This size was already more than enough to deal with Bear Lord.

"You'll only know how strong I am after we fight!" Bear Lord roared, launching his strongest move right away.

His thick right paw swung high, and five razor-sharp claws shot out like long blades. A dazzling dark-golden light erupted, and the terrifying Ultimate Metal soul power instantly cut deep gashes into the ground around him.

Sky-Tearing Claw!Bear Lord's ultimate attack!

A cold smirk flickered through Di Tian's massive vertical pupils. He casually raised his right claw as well, a shadowy black phantom appearing over it, radiating brilliant seven-colored light.

Dragon God Claw!

If Bear Lord had any sense, he would have never started this fight.

From the very beginning, Di Tian hadn't intended to toy with him—he intended to utterly destroy him.

He used his strongest technique right from the start—this was not a friendly match. This was a merciless beatdown, aimed to break Bear Lord completely.

In the original story, even when Di Tian was in human form, a single Dragon God Claw had seriously injured Bear Lord with one slap.

And now?

Di Tian was in his true form!

Bear Claw vs. Dragon Claw—two forces clashed with overwhelming power!

But to Bear Lord's complete shock—

The ultimate move he had always prided himself on—his Sky-Tearing Claw—was instantly obliterated by Di Tian's Dragon God Claw in a completely crushing defeat!

In Bear Lord's disbelieving gaze, a cruel smirk appeared on Di Tian's face as he savagely slammed his Dragon God Claw onto his body!

BOOM—

BOOM!!!

"No, Di Tian! Stop!"

SMACK!BAM! BAM! BAM!"AHHH!!!"

…

Three hours later.

Di Tian, looking completely refreshed, returned to his human form. He glanced at Bear Lord, who was barely breathing, and nodded in satisfaction.

His chest was still moving—he wasn't dead, so it was fine!

"What an exhilarating battle!"

In the distance.

Lin Yun blinked and also nodded in satisfaction.

Not long after Di Tian left, Lin Yun had asked Bi Ji to bring him to Bear Lord's territory because he had a premonition—this time, requesting a spirit ring from Bear Lord wouldn't be easy.

A battle was inevitable!

Di Tian vs. Bear Lord—what a thrilling battle!

Even though it was just Di Tian one-sidedly beating Bear Lord into the ground, Lin Yun still found it incredibly entertaining.

"You little thing, you have no idea how much I hold grudges! But Di Tian—what a guy! He actually helped me fulfill my dream of beating Bear Lord senseless. He deserves a big reward!" Lin Yun murmured under his breath.

"Hmm? Honored One, what are you saying?" Bi Ji tilted her head curiously.

"Nothing. Bi Ji, go heal Bear Lord. Otherwise, he'll be lying there for a whole month!" Lin Yun said with a smile.

"It's fine if he stays down for a month, but if a wandering Titled Douluo suddenly shows up and kills him, then the Star Dou Forest would suffer a huge loss!"

Bi Ji nodded. "Understood, Honored One."

Then, she walked into the air step by step, heading toward Di Tian and Bear Lord. At the same time, the wings folded on her back slowly unfurled, their pure white feathers gradually turning emerald green as a rich aura of life spread through the air.

'Bear Lord, oh Bear Lord… what can I even say about you?'

Bi Ji looked down at the barely conscious Bear Lord and secretly shook her head.

'Provoking Di Tian was one thing—because of the Star Dou Forest, he wouldn't take it too seriously. But showing attitude to the Honored One? That's just asking for a beating!'

With her sharp intuition, Bi Ji had long seen through Bear Lord's reckless behavior. But it wasn't her place to warn him, and even if she did, Bear Lord wouldn't listen.

Oh well. A beating should fix things.

If one wasn't enough, then two would do the trick.

If fists couldn't solve the problem, that only meant your fists weren't hard enough.

Fortunately, Di Tian's fists were more than hard enough.

Bear Lord would probably behave himself for a long time after this.

A vibrant green light filled with immense life force flowed into Bear Lord's body. His torn skin, shredded by Di Tian's Dragon God Claw, rapidly healed, and his dark-golden fur slowly grew back.

To be honest, Bear Lord didn't really want to get up right now.

It was just too embarrassing.

The bigger his words before the fight, the harder Di Tian's fists had been when he beat him down.

No—even harder than that!

Di Tian was basically a wolf in dragon's clothing.

But once Bi Ji had healed him enough, he had no choice but to get up.

With a grunt, he sat up—only to see Di Tian staring at him with a half-smile, half-smirk.

"Bear Lord, well? Have you accepted reality now?"

"If not, I'd be more than happy to go another round with you!"
