Lake of Life

Every tree was extremely thick, and even several people could not hug it.

Moreover, every tree towered into the sky, with a height of at least several hundred meters.

The tall canopy of trees blocked out the sky, and even with the rising sun high in the sky, it was quite dark and humid in the jungle.

On the ground, there were layers of fallen leaves, which were rotting in the soil. From time to time, they were mixed with the bones of unknown soul beasts, emitting an indescribable and disgusting smell.

Su Yu paid special attention when walking, because sometimes if he was not careful, he would step into the mud and make a mess.

The three of them continued to move forward. Su Yu stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead from time to time. The long journey in such a harsh environment was very taxing on his physical strength.

Su Yu had to endure the unpleasant smell, took out some fruits and started chewing them.

After eating two fruits, Su Yu's physical strength also recovered a lot.

Striking while the iron was hot, Su Yu and the others finally emerged from the dense forest at noon.

What came into their view was a flat land. Although there were extremely tall trees around, the ground was quite dry.

There was no such unpleasant and disgusting smell, and Su Yu immediately felt much more comfortable.

Su Yu didn't know that they had actually entered the real core area of the Star Dou Forest.

After walking for only half an hour, Su Yu suddenly felt a stream of water vapor coming towards his face.

The water vapor was very fresh, with a hint of life, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Sure enough, less than five hundred meters ahead, a large lake appeared in front of them.

The lake was extremely vast and the water was extremely clear, like a clear mirror.

Above the water, there was light steam evaporating, reflecting the colorful brilliance under the scorching sun.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the oncoming water vapor made Su Yu feel refreshed.

Most of the fatigue from the journey had dissipated.

"It's so beautiful!"

Su Yu couldn't help but murmur. The endless clear lake water made his whole mind open up.

"This is the source of life in the Star Forest, the Lake of Life."

"From now on, this is where you will practice."

Uncle Tian walked up and patted Su Yu on the shoulder, "You and your Aunt Bi stay here for a while, I have some things to take care of first."

"Okay, Uncle Tian!"

Su Yu responded, took two steps forward, looked at the clear lake, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to splash in the lake.

The lake water was ice cold and very comfortable.

Uncle Tian glanced at Aunt Bi and walked aside.

Aunt Bi nodded lightly and came to Su Yu's side to take care of him.

...

The core area was a dark place.

A figure knelt on one knee, kneeling respectfully and saluting to the existence deeper.

In the depths of the darkness, a silver light loomed.

"Di Tian, I see you, my lord."

The tall figure knelt down, with a majestic face and golden eyes.

That familiar face, if it wasn't Uncle Tian, who could it be?

"Di Tian, do you have something important to report?"

A clear female voice came from the darkness, her voice was indifferent, but it carried a heavy majesty.

"Your Majesty, Di Tian has been taking care of Su Yu for more than six years according to Her Majesty's order. Yesterday, Su Yu successfully awakened his martial soul, which is the power of the Dragon God."

Di Tian lowered his proud head with a respectful expression.

"I already know this. Yesterday, I felt the fluctuations of the Dragon God's power."

A faint voice came from the darkness.

"My lord, I wonder if Su Yu's identity is true?"

"The power of the Dragon God will never appear in an ordinary human rashly. It was born in the Dragon Valley, echoing the core of the Dragon God, so the identity will not be false."

"My lord, is that Su Yu really?" Di Tian's tone was filled with excitement.

"Yes, it's basically confirmed that he is indeed the reincarnation of the Dragon God's remnant soul."

The female voice hummed, with a hint of unspeakable emotion in her tone.

"Is there anything else to report?"

The female voice asked again.

"One more thing. This time, Su Yu felt something in his heart, so I took him to the far north to awaken his second martial soul..."

Di Tian spoke eloquently, without any concealment.

"The blessing of heaven and earth, the choice of the world's will?"

The female voice murmured to herself, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a moment, her voice sounded again, "Di Tian, from now on, Su Yu is the young master of my soul beast clan. Be careful and protect him."

"Yes!"

Di Tian was startled, and then he nodded heavily.

"I will do my best to protect the young master. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Very well, you may go."

"I take my leave, my lord."

Di Tian bowed respectfully before retreating.

"The power of the Dragon God, the son of the world... Su Yu, maybe this child will be the hope of my soul beast clan."

A gentle murmur slowly sounded in the darkness.

...

Next to the Lake of Life, Su Yu sat on the edge of the lake, with his feet soaked directly in the lake water.

The icy cold lake water penetrated through his pores, and it was indescribably comfortable and refreshing.

"System, Check-in!"

Su Yu shouted in his mind.

[Ding, you have successfully checked in today. Congratulations to the host for getting 100 gold soul coins. You have checked in for two consecutive days. Please keep up the good work.]

"100 gold soul coins. Sure enough, starting from the second day, there will be no good things."

Su Yu muttered. He was not surprised by the check-in system's stinginess.

Checking in every day only gave ordinary rewards.

If he wanted to get good things, he was afraid he had to check in monthly or annually.

As for checking in every week, the rewards might be decent, so he was already mentally prepared.

"Ah, this is nice!"

Su Yu fiddled with the water with his feet and took out a new fruit to nibble on. He felt very comfortable.

Di Tian, who had just come over, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw Su Yu's actions.

He was afraid this kid was the first one to use the water from the Lake of Life to soak his feet.

But there was no way, this was a little ancestor, what could he do? He could only pretend he didn't see it.

"Ahem!"

However, he still coughed twice to announce his arrival.

"Hey, Uncle Tian is here. Let's soak our feet together. It feels so good."

Su Yu didn't show any interest at all. He was used to doing as he pleased.

Di Tian's brows couldn't help but jump, but he still held it back and showed a smile.

"Yu'er, there's something I haven't told you all this time."

"Today, I'm going to make it clear to you."

Uncle Tian's expression was serious, and his tone was more solemn than ever.

Su Yu paused, took his feet out of the lake, and put on his shoes.

"Uncle Tian, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Su Yu also seemed to feel something, his face tightened and he became serious.

Aunt Bi on the side also stepped forward at this time, looking straight at Su Yu with her moist green eyes.
