"Dragon God!"
Hearing these two words, Kong Deming's expression immediately sobered. He hadn't expected Bei Bei to be the descendant of this person.
The former Super Genius of Shrek Academy, one of the famous Black and White Twin Holy Dragons who shook the continent, Limit Douluo, Dragon God Mu En!
How could Kong Deming not know of this person's reputation and deeds?
"He's actually still alive?"
The words Kong Deming spoke next caused the proudly standing Bei Bei's expression to stiffen.
Was this the reaction one should have upon hearing about a Limit Douluo? Clearly not!
Kong Deming's reaction was much calmer than Bei Bei had imagined, so much so that asking that question was like casually asking "Have you eaten?" between ordinary people.
This completely lacked the proper attitude one should have when facing the strongest expert of the "enemy."
"Senior, do you know my ancestor?"
Bei Bei's expression grew serious. Kong Deming's casual tone didn't sound like he was talking about a Limit Douluo stronger than himself; it sounded more like a normal inquiry between those of the "same level."
Could it be that the Sun Moon Empire already had a Soul Engineer comparable to a Limit Douluo?
After this thought arose in his mind, Bei Bei instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
However, he quickly dismissed this idea, finding it unlikely.
"I have naturally heard of the Dragon God Douluo, but it is a pity that we never had the chance to meet."
Kong Deming sighed with emotion, seemingly genuinely wishing to meet Mu En, the Limit Douluo.
This relaxed tone, however, greatly displeased Bei Bei.
If he wasn't afraid of the other party getting angry and attacking, he would have immediately asked, "What is your strength?!"
Just as Bei Bei, who wanted to say something more, was about to speak, he suddenly noticed Kong Deming's expression change, and a powerful Aura belonging to a Titled Douluo spread out.
The alarm bells rang loudly in Bei Bei's heart, and he thought the opponent was suddenly going to attack him.
But then he realized Kong Deming made no further move; instead, he looked vigilantly toward the upper diagonal. Following Kong Deming's gaze, Bei Bei saw the air being stirred by an invisible hand, causing ripples—and then—
"Tear!" A pitch-black crack ripped through space, opening like the maw of an abyssal giant.
The next second, a tall figure stepped out from the crack.
He stood suspended in the air. A black robe outlined his tall, sturdy physique. Golden vertical pupils looked down, and a strand of golden hair on his forehead swayed in the wind.
Although he hadn't released any Aura, the oppressive feeling originating from his Bloodline still caused all the Spirit Beasts within a kilometer radius to prostrate themselves, and even the chirping of insects and birds abruptly ceased.
The one who suddenly appeared here was naturally the Gold-eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, who had come to investigate under the command of the Silver Dragon King!
The southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest, where the powerful pressure had appeared earlier, was originally the outer perimeter of the forest.
Di Tian investigated the area, and the only ones worthy of his attention were the people currently below him.
Although Kong Deming did not know who this black-robed man was, the sense of danger originating from his life instinct was chilling, making his body tense up as if facing a formidable enemy.
Kong Deming flew up, reaching the same altitude as Di Tian.
"Who are Your Excellency?"
He spoke in a deep voice, injecting spirit power into his words, exuding the Aura of a Titled Douluo.
Di Tian's golden vertical pupils rotated slightly, and his gaze landed on Kong Deming: "Human, your strength is decent."
This simple sentence made Kong Deming feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Based on this statement, he could deduce that the other party was likely not human!
And a Spirit Beast capable of transforming into human form, possessing such Cultivation, could only be a Vicious Beast.
Bei Bei below had clearly realized this too; his legs couldn't help but tremble, and he deeply regretted bringing Tang Ya alone to obtain a spirit ring.
No one would have expected a Vicious Beast to appear in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Huo Yuhao was naive and ignorant, and knowing nothing, he was the most relaxed.
The Heavenly Dream Iceworm in his sea of consciousness had already curled into a ball, not daring to release a single trace of Aura, because he felt Di Tian had come specifically to capture him.
At this moment, Kong Xuan activated the flying soul tool on his back and slowly moved to his grandfather's side.
The sudden action of his precious grandson made Kong Deming's heart skip a beat.
However, after a brief period of worry and surprise, Kong Deming wondered if this was also part of the plan.
Facing Di Tian, Kong Xuan bowed respectfully and asked, "Might you be Senior Di Tian?"
The Beast God Di Tian—few humans had seen him, but his reputation had long spread throughout the Spirit Master's world.
Following Kong Xuan's question, everyone else was greatly alarmed, except for Huo Yuhao, who knew nothing.
Di Tian scrutinized Kong Xuan, and the gazes from their two pairs of Golden Eyes met.
"You recognize me?"
Di Tian looked at Kong Xuan with a flicker of interest; he actually couldn't quite see through this young man.
"Although I have never met Senior, I believe no one else could possess such might besides Senior Di Tian."
Kong Xuan's calmness stemmed from the fact that he possessed the means to save his life from Di Tian.
At the same time, he didn't believe Di Tian had come here to start a war with them.
Di Tian's arrival was indeed somewhat unexpected for Kong Xuan, as he hadn't appeared here in the original work.
It seemed this was the "Butterfly Effect" caused by Kong Xuan's interference.
However, Di Tian's appearance was also reasonable, as the celestial phenomenon caused by Electrolux's arrival earlier was significant, making it normal for Di Tian, the Beast God, to come over.
Kong Xuan, however, felt that in the original work, the Vicious Beasts in the Star Dou Core Region were indifferent to this phenomenon, acting as if they hadn't seen it, which was quite abnormal.
Could this be another one of Tang San's methods, shielding their senses?
Di Tian neither confirmed nor denied Kong Xuan's compliment, then asked indifferently, "Who are all of you?"
As he asked this, a wave of pressure flashed past, sweeping over them like a materialized gale, causing the surrounding trees and vegetation to sway for a moment.
"Shrek Academy Outer Court student, Bei Bei."
"Shrek Academy Outer Court student, Tang Ya."
Huo Yuhao followed suit, saying, "Star Luo Empire, Huo Yuhao."
Di Tian's gaze swept over him, but clearly did not detect the Heavenly Dream Iceworm's Aura.
Kong Xuan smiled and said, "Sun Moon Empire, Kong Xuan!"
The Silver Moon Divine Light Shield had already enveloped Kong Deming and Kong Xuan, with faint starlight flowing over it.
Kong Deming kept his eyes fixed on Di Tian and stated solemnly, "Sun Moon Empire, Title Silver Moon!"
Kong Deming's spirit power was currently only Rank 94; he wasn't even a Super Douluo.
But he was confident he could fight against a Limit Douluo.
However, facing Di Tian, this Vicious Beast, Kong Deming was unsure, as this being's defense was absolutely Heaven-Defying, and ordinary spirit tool attacks likely wouldn't have much effect.
Just as Kong Deming watched vigilantly, space behind Di Tian rippled again, and he then simply vanished from their sight.
The few people left behind had no idea what was going on. This Beast God suddenly appeared, only asked for their identities, and then just left.
Kong Xuan also frowned at this moment, unable to guess Di Tian's purpose.
However, with Di Tian's departure, their crisis was finally resolved.
Bei Bei memorized the title "Silver Moon," deciding to go back and ask his Great Ancestor about it.
Although Di Tian had left, Bei Bei still couldn't feel at ease, believing it would be best to leave the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible.
He looked at Huo Yuhao and spoke again: "Yuhao, Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are your best choices."
"The foundation of a Spirit Master still lies within themselves. Although His Excellency Silver Moon is a Titled Douluo, the Sun Moon Empire is far inferior to Shrek Academy when it comes to Spirit Master Cultivation."
"I hope you make the right choice."
Bei Bei was anxious; when he said this, it could be said he showed absolutely no Face to the Sun Moon Empire.
Even with Kong Deming's good temper, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort toward this junior.
Hearing this, Kong Xuan chuckled lightly: "Those words sound rather boastful, don't they?"
Bei Bei shifted his gaze to Kong Xuan, who had spoken.
Kong Xuan had descended from mid-air. He looked at Bei Bei and asked, "As a descendant of the Dragon God Douluo, you must also be a Genius at Shrek Academy. I wonder, what is the Cultivation level of a Genius like you now?"
