Chapter 445 - 358: Devouring Souls of All Beings (Part 2)
Then, Lu Lin learned a name.
"Xiang Family."
"Xiang Ruojun."
Relying on just one person, the other party drove the Saint and his hundred Star King-level subordinates as if herding sheep.
With just one strike, they could shatter someone’s bones and tendons, unable to recover for half a day.
Moreover, a strange power was contained in the opponent’s attacks. As long as the enemy was hit, their cultivation realm would decline.
The Saint and his hundred subordinates were chased by Xiang Ruojun from east to west, from south to north, day by day, desperately fleeing.
Finally, taking advantage of a gap in Xiang Ruojun’s rest, the Saint, with his subordinates who had dropped to the Star Dust stage, hurriedly found an entrance to a small world and escaped into it.
Furthermore, after entering, the Saint ordered several subordinates to destroy the entrance to the small world.
The memory ends here.
Lu Lin was shocked beyond words; this Xiang Ruojun, with such a pleasant name, and looking like a young man not even twenty, how could they possess such powerful strength?
Could she be a Star Emperor?
No, she wasn’t. In black shark’s memory, Xiang Ruojun was only at the early Star King level, having just reached the Domain Connecting Realm, yet was stronger than so many Star Kings.
It’s almost unbelievable. Is this the true super genius of the Dragon渊 World?
No wonder Sun Xiaorui said that the Wild Blade Clan could only be considered a third-rate force.
For someone like her, over thirty and still hesitating in the Star Battle Realm, she isn’t considered a genius in the entire Xi Chu Region, let alone the whole Dragon渊 World.
Twenty, Star King.
Thirty, Star Emperor.
Fifty, Star Emperor.
This kind of person, this kind of promotion speed, is considered a true recognized strong person. In the Xi Chu Empire, if such a genius appears, the Xi Chu Emperor would definitely not be stingy with rewards, doing everything possible to keep them in the country.
Lu Lin had been skeptical when Sun Xiaorui said this before.
But now, after seeing the memory of the black shark, even if Lu Lin doesn’t want to believe, he has to.
A seemingly gallant young girl, Xiang Ruojun, could easily make hundreds of strong people of the same level flee in panic, what about the true geniuses of the Xiang Family?
And besides these young geniuses, what about the elders?
Dragon渊 Xiang Family, terrifying.
The avatar of the black shark gradually dissipated, and even until death, said not a word.
Only with eyes filled with resentment and hatred did it look at Lu Lin and that terrifying and strange Star Core.
"Lu Lin, Boss Lu Lin, please don’t kill me."
"I just happened to come in for a spin, rest assured, I will keep today’s events in my heart, definitely won’t go out and talk nonsense."
"No, no."
"I will erase today’s memory completely."
"Please don’t eat me."
At this moment, Xiao Bai, who had been hiding nearby, suddenly spoke up.
Lu Lin smiled, looking at Xiao Bai’s trembling appearance, feeling both annoyed and amused.
This Xiao Bai came to the Exotic Battlefield and didn’t behave at all, directly sneaked into Lu Lin’s Consciousness Universe.
However, how exactly did this guy manage to do it, Lu Lin still doesn’t know.
"Xiao Bai, if you want me not to devour you, then tell me, just what race are you, and why can you enter my Consciousness Universe?"
"Ah?"
"Lu Lin, I’m just an ordinary gray wolf."
"Entering your divine thought space was purely accidental."
"Accidental?"
Lu Lin looked at Xiao Bai, chuckling, "Forget it, since you don’t want to say, then there’s no need to keep living."
"Don’t think acting cute can fool me, I have seen your true form."
Xiao Bai relaxed slightly hearing Lu Lin say this.
If remembered right, Lu Lin was referring to the time in Chongnuo City when Xiao Ru released the seal on it and Bai Hu, allowing them to briefly recover their strength to Ninth-Level Peak.
However, what Xiao Bai showed at that time was not its true form at all.
At best, it was only displaying one percent of its true form’s ability.
Lu Lin wanted to trick it into revealing its origin, but Xiao Bai was indeed a demon beast; having lived for so many years, how could it not see through Lu Lin’s scheme?
"Alright, Lu Lin, I can tell you how I got in, but as for my race, don’t ask."
"That’s something not for someone like you to know now."
"Oh?"
Lu Lin was taken aback, then laughed, "I see, Xiao Bai."
"No wonder you say you’re a gray wolf; actually, you are indeed a Gray Life-devouring Soul Wolf, aren’t you?"
Xiao Bai’s soul body trembled violently, looking at Lu Lin in disbelief.
How could he know?
The Gray Life-devouring Soul Wolf clan had stopped operating in Dragon渊 World tens of thousands of years ago.
If it weren’t for its youthful indiscretion leading it to Dragon渊 World to devour some strong souls, discovered and detained by Chen Buming, it wouldn’t be imprisoned at this White Unnamed Villa.
So how did Lu Lin know the name of its race?
Even Chen Buming didn’t dare confirm this.
"Looks like I wasn’t wrong."
"Gray Life-devouring Soul Wolf, one of the ancient ten demon beast overlords, later due to some reason vanished from Dragon渊 World, disappeared without a trace."
"The clan sustains itself by devouring human souls, thus the name."
"It is said that towards the end of the ancient beast domination era, the Gray Life-devouring Soul Wolf clan was attacked by several human experts, location uncertain during the battle, but thereafter began gradually retreating from history until it vanished."
"Xiao Bai, it’s already 2202; your Soul-devouring Wolf Clan wouldn’t still be relying on devouring human souls for survival, right?"
"No, no, of course not."
"Lu Lin, our Soul-devouring Wolf clan now no longer devours human souls; we have even changed our names, Gray Wolf Clan; we’ve changed it to this long ago."
"Moreover, it’s not just a simple name change; our clan elders discovered that the reason we Soul-devouring... the Gray Wolf Clan has always needed to devour human souls is due to congenital deficiencies."
"Humans have three souls and seven spirits, our race only has two souls and six spirits, this missing one soul and spirit, as we age, the disadvantage becomes increasingly apparent."
"Yet after returning to our Gray Wolf Clan’s ancestral land, we discovered that devouring human souls not only fails to remedy our soul deficiencies but instead exacerbates our soul problems."
"After countless years of research, our Gray Wolf Clan finally changed its living habits; from now on, no wolf in the clan will devour human souls for survival."
"Oh?"
Lu Lin hadn’t expected that a casual fabrication could elicit so much information.
Gray Life-devouring Soul Wolf, he only heard this term once during an exam in a Secret Realm.
Considering Xiao Bai’s situation now, Lu Lin just said it casually; unexpectedly, he was actually correct.
