Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Notting City, Notting Beginner Soul Master Academy.

At this moment, an exceptionally beautiful girl in a pink robe stepped out of the Nuoding Academy. Her waist was slender, her face stunningly beautiful, and what drew the most attention were her long, slender legs tightly wrapped in leggings, straight and exquisitely attractive.

It could be said that just those legs alone would make countless women pale in comparison.

Xiaowu's features still bore some childishness, but one could already glimpse the inklings of her future overwhelming beauty. Everyone knew that with a bit more time, Xiaowu was destined to become an extremely rare beauty in the world.

At this moment, her pretty face had turned pale, her heart racing as she felt the aura of the Auspicious Beast.

"Auspicious Beast, how can there be the aura of an Auspicious Beast in the human world?" Xiaowu murmured to herself, her petite body shaking slightly. Auspicious Beasts, Emperors of soul beasts, bring blessings to all nearby soul beasts, doubling their growth rate and greatly increasing their chances of successful Tribulation.

The full name of the Auspicious Beast was Emperor's Auspicious Beast, and it wielded a terrifying influence within The Soul Beast Realm. The Auspicious Beast was vitally important to soul beasts, even relevant to the rise and fall of the Soul Beast Clan.

The Power of Destiny was elusive and intangible, yet of utmost importance. If a hundred-thousand-year soul beast had the help of an Auspicious Beast during its Tribulation, its destiny would be so strong. Its chance of overcoming the Tribulation would increase by twenty to thirty percent.

The value of an Auspicious Beast couldn't simply be measured by strength. Even the most powerful soul beasts would curry favor with an Auspicious Beast, hoping it would lend its aid during their Tribulation.

Yet such a soul beast had now appeared within the bounds of the human world.

But was the Auspicious Beast captured?

As Xiaowu considered this, she took a sharp intake of breath. She dared not imagine how outraged the powerful soul beasts would be if something were to happen to the Auspicious Beast.

"Humans, not only did you kill my mother, but now you aim to harm the Auspicious Beast as well? Are you aware of the status of the Auspicious Beast? Not everyone is allowed to disrespect the Soul Beast Emperor." Xiaowu's pretty face became icy cold. She had Transformed just to avenge her mother. Although she was now considered human, she had never forgotten what she should do as a soul beast.

Upon encountering an Auspicious Beast, all soul beasts in the world are required to protect it with their utmost efforts. This was branded into the bloodline of every soul beast at birth.

Xiaowu stood quietly, feeling the fragile aura of the Auspicious Beast, her body turning ice-cold, as the aura belonging to the hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit hidden within her heart slowly unveiled itself at this moment.

She could feel that the aura of the Auspicious Beast was growing weaker. This filled her with immense rage.

It wasn't just her. Any spiritually aware soul beast that sensed the Auspicious Beast was in danger would become furious.

"Xiaowu, what's wrong?" Tang San asked with concern when he noticed Xiaowu's expression turning sour. It was the first time he had seen such a look on Xiaowu's face, which made him somewhat worried.

"Brother, I'm fine, you go back first. I have something I need to do." Xiaowu's voice softened. Although Tang San was human, he was different from ordinary humans.

Over the years, she had grown to trust Tang San's character completely.

"Xiaowu, what happened? Whatever it is, let's solve it together," Tang San continued, still a bit uneasy about letting Xiaowu go on her own. Suddenly, his heart ached sharply, and for some reason, he felt as if something was slipping away from him. This feeling was mysterious, yet surprisingly real.

This feeling left him incredibly restless.

His gaze shifted to Xiaowu and, unconsciously, he hadn't realized just how beautiful Xiaowu had become. Her bosom rose and fell gently, and her green cheeks now bore a hint of stunning beauty yet to fully bloom.

Xiaowu would undoubtedly become a breathtaking beauty in the future, but fortunately, this flower had always been by his side, and he didn't believe that with his vigilant guard, she could ever slip away.

"Brother, go back first. Don't worry about my business." Xiaowu, filled with urgency, felt the Auspicious Beast's aura getting weaker. In her haste, she pushed Tang San away and ran quickly outside.

"Xiaowu..." Tang San felt a pang of pain. In the past, no matter the issue, Xiaowu would always consider his opinion and wouldn't leave his side so abruptly.

But what was happening now?

Could it be that in Xiaowu's heart, there was someone more important than him?

Tang San walked slowly back to the dormitory, not sure what was happening to him today. He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp for no apparent reason. He was somewhat afraid that Xiaowu's departure would mean she'd never return.

This thought seemed ridiculous. How could Xiaowu possibly leave him?

...

Outside Notting City, Xu Ran sat slumped under a large tree, emitting the aura that belonged to an Auspicious Beast.

Such aura, detectable only by soul beasts or humans who had been retrained from soul beasts, was being released by him to entice—no, to make Xiaowu voluntarily come to meet him. Revealing the aura of the Auspicious Beast and assuming its identity could also help him gain Xiaowu's trust.

"Host, Xiaowu will arrive in one minute," the System reminded, curious as to how the Host intended to maneuver Xiaowu.

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded, and with the help of the System, the golden light emanating from his body gradually dimmed, with the unique Power of Destiny of the Auspicious Beast becoming extremely unstable, flickering and nearly imperceptible in its weakness.

There were also some fine wounds appearing on Xu Ran's body. While not deep, they looked startlingly real, and the 'tomato sauce' produced by the System made them seem like genuine blood, without any hint of fakery.

"Auspicious Beast, Auspicious Beast..." Xiaowu ran desperately, bursting with unprecedented speed despite her delicate figure. There was a hint of sorrow in her nimble and beautiful eyes. As a soul beast, seeing an Auspicious Beast in trouble was a truly sad sight.

She did not know what the Auspicious Beast was going through and had never contemplated whether she would be able to save it if the Auspicious Beast were truly in danger.

All she knew was that every soul beast, regardless of strength, would use their bodies to shield the Auspicious Beast if it faced danger.

Even if her mother Ah Rou were still here, they would do their utmost to protect the Auspicious Beast despite their weak strength.

"Humans..."

"Haven't you killed enough soul beasts? Now you even lay hands on the Auspicious Beast."

"If something truly happens to the Auspicious Beast, then prepare to withstand the wrath from Aquipeia Forest."

Xiaowu murmured, her pupils brimming with the intent to kill.

After laying dormant in the human world for so long, she almost began to truly consider herself a normal person. But she was a soul beast, she had come to the human world for revenge. The feelings that had been silent in Xiaowu's heart were once again stirred.

The danger faced by the Auspicious Beast reminded her of the reason she came to the human world. Six years had nearly made her forget her identity. The hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit, Xiaowu!

By the time Xiaowu arrived, Xu Ran was already trembling and deathly pale. He was flickering with golden light, but the radiance was so transparent, it was weaker than even the light of the sun, clearly indicating his severe lack of energy.

"From the Soft-Boned Rabbit Clan, Xiaowu pays her respects to the Auspicious Beast."

"Auspicious Beast, how are you?"

Xiaowu knelt on one knee, performing the ceremonial gesture of a subordinate to their superior, then looked anxiously at Xu Ran. Seeing that there seemed to be no human powerhouses around, a slight sense of relief passed through her. Luckily, no human powerhouses were by the Auspicious Beast's side, or she would not know what to do today.

At the same time, her heart filled with a bit more hatred.

From the crimson wounds on the Auspicious Beast, fresh blood incessantly oozed out.

"Hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit? You're one of the two rabbits from Aquipeia Forest, aren't you? Xiaowu, I didn't expect you to have re-cultivated," Xu Ran said weakly, his breath fading, as if he would expire at any second. Even the System Miss was astonished at how convincing Xu Ran looked. Brother "Host" could even act, it seems. If she didn't know the truth, she would have believed him too.

"Xiaowu re-cultivated for vengeance; the grudge for my mother's murder is irreconcilable, but I will never forget in this life that I am a soul beast. I am a soul beast, and that will never change," Xiaowu stated respectfully.

"I know, today you saved me, and your revenge, I will help you with in the future," Xu Ran declared, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing directly toward Xiaowu.

"So soft," he said.

Xu Ran rested his head on Xiaowu's jade legs.

"Auspicious Beast, what are you feeling now?" Xiaowu felt both shy and worried in her heart. She stretched out her slender legs to allow Xu Ran to lie down more comfortably. She had thought her vengeance was hopeless, but with the Auspicious Beast's help, everything was different. With the Auspicious Beast's influence in the Soul Beast Realm, countless strong allies could be called upon.

"I mean, how is your body, Auspicious Beast?" Xiaowu's pretty face blushed, realizing that there was nothing seriously wrong with the Auspicious Beast, and her mood relaxed. Only then did she become aware that at some point, the Auspicious Beast had come to rest on her legs.

When did this happen?

She had no idea at all.

In her panic, she had only been concerned about the Auspicious Beast's safety, never noticing how close they had become in the meantime.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, her skin involuntarily suffused with a blush.

She wanted to move her legs away, but feared that it might displease the Auspicious Beast.

The Auspicious Beast had just promised to aid her revenge, and she absolutely could not afford to cause him the slightest displeasure.

In all the gathering places of soul beasts, wherever an Auspicious Beast appeared, they would receive treatment befitting an emperor. Not to mention legs, if the Auspicious Beasts desired those other things, as subordinates, they could not refuse.

No matter what type of soul beast or how powerful they might be, they would not receive genuine respect from other soul beasts. But an Auspicious Beast could, as they brought benefits to all soul beasts. This is why even an Auspicious Beast with no strength at birth could still become the Soul Beast Emperor.
