Even though Tang Wulin had his eyes closed, he was still constantly keeping tabs on Lan Fuozi, and he found it quite remarkable that her emotions were able to settle so quickly to a normal state as soon as she began cultivating. As expected of someone who was able to cultivate their spiritual power to the Spirit Domain realm.

Furthermore, while examining Lan Fuozi's bodily condition, he discovered that the route along which her soul power circulated was completely different to his own. As she began cultivating, Tang Wulin could clearly sense the water elements in the air converging toward her, and she also began to release spiritual power fluctuations. They were still quite feeble, but they possessed a special rhythm and seemed to be arising from a cultivation method that specifically targeted spiritual power.

While cultivating her spiritual power and soul power in unison, Lan Fuozi gave off a sense of balance and harmony, and it was also a display of her immense foundation.

She appeared to be only slightly older than Tang Wulin, so it was very remarkable that she had been able to cultivate to this level. Judging from her eruption of power prior to falling unconscious, Tang Wulin wasn't fully confident that he would be able to defeat her in a one-on-one battle. However, she seemed to be rather lacking in battle experience, and that was most likely her most glaring weakness.

As Tang Wulin cultivated, he was also keeping tabs on the changes taking place in the surrounding area.

There were currently no soul beasts within the sensory range of his spiritual power, perhaps due to the fact that they had all been frightened away by Lan Fuozi's terrifying outburst.

Thus, six peaceful hours passed by.

When Lan Fuozi opened her eyes again, Tang Wulin immediately sensed this, and he also reopened his eyes.

At this point, Lan Fuozi's eyes had regained their clarity, and her aura had also returned to normal indicating that she had most likely already recovered most of her soul power. However, her spiritual fluctuations were still not as powerful as they normally were.

After rising to her feet, she cast her gaze toward Tang Wulin with a hesitant look in her eyes. "Thank you."

Tang Wulin waved a hand in response. "Don't mention it. I'll see you around." After that, he rushed away into the forest, quickly vanishing into the undergrowth.

Lan Fuozi looked on at his departing figure, and she reflexively laid a hand onto her own chest, where her heart seemed to be beating slightly faster than normal. "Why do I not find him as repulsive as before? Aren't all men supposed to be horrible creatures? That's what Mother told me!"

Tang Wulin was naturally oblivious to Lan Fuozi's renewed impression of him.

He was striding through the lush forest, and his mood was steadily improving as he sensed the rich life force energy in the air.

Along the way, he encountered some soul beasts, but he was like a tourist, choosing mostly to appraise these soul beasts from afar. Even if a battle were to ensue, he would handle the situation with care to avoid harming the soul beasts.

Meeting so many extinct soul beasts was truly a surreal and wonderful experience, and he quickly forgot all about the incident surrounding Lan Fuozi.

However, not long after that, he finally encountered some trouble.

As he was passing through a certain area, Tang Wulin suddenly detected a powerful aura that struck him with a sense of peril.

He could tell that this aura didn't belong to a human, and right as he determined this, dense vapor began to permeate through the air.

Within the misty vapor, the moos of a cow began to ring out.

What kind of soul beast was this?

Tang Wulin slowly made his way into the mist with a hint of curiosity in his heart. Even though he was sensing a threat from that aura, he was very confident in his own abilities, so he was sure that self-preservation wouldn't be an issue.

Soon, he discovered the source of the vapor. It had stemmed from a lake that only had a diameter of around 100 meters, and the lake was filled with semi-transparent green water. The misty vapor permeating throughout the area was perhaps a result of the high level of humidity here.

The mooing gradually subsided, and ripples began to proliferate over the surface of the lake. It seemed that the mooing had come from the center of the lake.

Tang Wulin released his spiritual power, and bluish-purple light began to course over his body as he proceeded with caution. He had concealed his own aura as much as possible, and he silently hid behind a giant rock as he assessed his surroundings.

All of a sudden, Tang Wulin's expression changed slightly as he could sense that the air currents in the surrounding area had sped up, but the mist had become denser.

If there were wind blowing through the air, shouldn't the mist have been dispersed?

Right as this thought crossed his mind, a gust of fierce wind was swept up, immediately followed by a string of loud moos.

The ferocious winds suddenly began to converge toward him from all sides like a massive cage, striking him with a strong sense of asphyxiation.

What was even more terrifying was that the winds were imbued with incredible power that resembled the power of space as opposed to just pure wind power.

Tang Wulin immediately unleashed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, trying to charge out of the gaps in the walls of wind, which he was searching for using his spiritual power. At the same time, his dragon core thumped violently, and a layer of scales appeared over his skin.

"Bam!" Right as he had found a gap that he could exploit, it was filled by another gust of fierce wind that crashed into his body.

Tang Wulin immediately stomped his right foot down onto the ground, unleashing his Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth amid a thunderous dragon's roar.

In order to disguise his own identity, he didn't use the complete version of his Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth. In other words, he was directing its entire power into the ground, creating powerful shockwaves to counteract the ferocious winds.

As a result, the pressure that he was under was significantly alleviated, and he formed a barrier for himself with his arms before propelling himself toward a certain direction.

With his enormous strength, he was able to crash through the converging walls of wind, yet just as he was about to escape, a massive azure shadow suddenly came hurtling directly toward him.

"Boom!"

Tang Wulin was sent flying like a cannonball, and he couldn't help but wonder why he had encountered so many powerful beings in this Myriad Beast Plane.

Both the Golden Lion Mastiff from before and this unknown creature possessed strength that outstripped his own, and as a result of the clash, he was launched all the way across the lake before landing on the other side.

With his dragon's repulse and tremendous physical constitution, the attack wasn't enough to hurt him, but he definitely hadn't enjoyed it, either. His arms were slightly numb, and he only regained feeling within them after circulating his blood essence within his own body.

Not being able to use the abilities that he was most adept in proved to be quite a handicap; if he had used Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens during his escape, then the result would've most likely been quite different.

It was very easy for him to pose as the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but the adopted identity was a restrictive shackle that prevented him from being able to use most of his abilities, such as many of his soul skills and his Golden Dragon Spear.

Right at this moment, an overwhelming sense of peril welled up in Tang Wulin's heart, and he immediately released his dragon wings before flapping them vigorously while rolling to the side.
