Chapter 2516: Something's Wrong with the Past_1

Subsequently, a group of people came to the research laboratory of the Spirit Pagoda...

When the researchers saw Gu Yuena, they immediately stopped their research and stood up, saying in unison, "Pagoda Master!"

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, "Don't mind me, continue with your research!"

After receiving her response, the researchers didn't say anything else and sat back down to continue their previous work...

Meanwhile, she walked behind them to roughly judge the progress shown on the screens...

Resting her chin on her hand, she pondered, "With the current pace, this Artificial Spirit Beast Synthesis Technology might soon reach maturity!"

"At that time, we can involve more researchers to speed up the progress!"

The reason they hadn't expanded was the fear of technology leakage attracting the attention of other powers!

Next to her, Di Tian furrowed his brow and countered, "My Lord, in my opinion, this Artificial Soul Beast technology still needs further refinement, such as... finding something that can replace your essence blood!"

Bi Ji immediately expressed her agreement, "Mm, I agree with Di Tian's words, continuing to consume your essence blood, my Lord, will definitely have an impact in the future!"

"Indeed, my Lord, you are the backbone of our Soul Beast Clan, it is absolutely important to avoid any problems!"

"If you ask me, that Tang Wulin with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline should be used as the test subject!"

"It would be his honor to sacrifice himself for you, my Lord!"

Suddenly, Gu Yuena thought of something and took out a reagent from her storage soul tool...

Narrowing her eyes, she said, "Wait, speaking of blood, I almost forgot, I have indeed collected Wulin's blood!"

Immediately after, she patted one of the researchers on the back...

The researcher turned around quickly and, upon seeing Gu Yuena, asked respectfully, "Pagoda Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

Gu Yuena handed over the reagent and said solemnly, "You must analyze this reagent immediately to see if it can be used to create a soul beast!"

After the researcher took it, he discovered that the blood inside the reagent was golden in color and exclaimed, "This is golden blood, Pagoda Master, may I ask where this is from..."

Most likely it wasn't obtained from a human!

Of course, Gu Yuena couldn't possibly reveal that, and she coldly said, "That's not your concern!"

The researcher swallowed nervously and bowed his head, "Sorry... my apologies, Pagoda Master, I will begin analyzing the blood right away!"

About ten minutes later, the researcher gleefully announced, "Pagoda Master, after analysis, the concentration of this blood is definitely sufficient to create a soul beast!"

Di Tian was quite astonished, "I didn't expect it to actually be possible, does that mean, in terms of bloodline, that Tang Wulin is not inferior to you, my Lord!"

In his view, even though Tang Wulin, as a human, possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, it surely couldn't be purer than Gu Yuena's bloodline!

But now it seemed that he was clearly mistaken!

Gu Yuena nodded to acknowledge the information and then reminded them, "Hmm, but... you cannot target Wulin!"

She was just trying it out and had no intention of using Tang Wulin as an experimental subject!

Instantly, the expressions on all the ferocious beasts' faces deflated...

Why would the leader of their Soul Beast Clan fall in love with a human!

...

Meanwhile!

Three days later, Suyun Tao once again sought out Xu Sheng, looking exceptionally excited...

He looked at the latter with an intense gaze and urged, "Xu Sheng, it's been three days since your Martial Soul Awakening, can you give me an answer now?"

Xu Sheng felt somewhat helpless, not expecting the former to take the initiative to find him!

After coughing into his hand, he explained, "I would very much like to join the Martial Soul Hall, but for certain reasons, I must decline your invitation!"

Upon hearing this, Suyun Tao immediately became anxious...

This was related to his own future, how could he just let such an opportunity slip away!

The persistent Suyun Tao said, "But... someone as talented as you, if you don't join the Martial Soul Hall, that would be a waste of your talent!"

"As long as you are willing to join the Martial Soul Hall, I believe His Holiness the Pope would definitely make good use of you. You might even become the youngest Elder!"

Seeing this, Xu Sheng replied unflinchingly, "Thank you for your invitation, but I genuinely have no intention of joining the Martial Soul Hall!"

After all, his main reason for returning to the past was to eliminate the Abyssal Emperor!

Suyun Tao, seeing that the other was completely unmoved, said through gritted teeth, "You… how do you not understand!!"

Taking a deep breath and with a somewhat threatening tone, he said, "Fine, since you are unwilling to join the Martial Soul Hall, I will no longer keep your secret."

"When His Holiness the Pope learns of this, you can imagine the consequences without me spelling them out!"

Xu Sheng's expression turned cold at once, "Are you threatening me?"

The feeling of being threatened made him extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, the Suyun Tao before him was completely different from the one he remembered!

In an instant, the Martial Soul was suddenly released in the palm of his hand, and the entire space was enveloped by an immensely oppressive force...

The already weak Soul Power of the other made every part of his body tremble, his lips quivering...

Eventually, unable to bear it, he fell to his knees with a "thump"...

With a look of terror, he said, "No... don't kill me, I misspoke just now... please... I beg you to spare me."

Damn it, he had actually forgotten that his opponent was at the level of a Title Douluo—the thought of threatening such a person with his own strength was tantamount to seeking death!

Xu Sheng retracted his killing intent and said indifferently, "Scram!"

"Yes, yes!"

Suyun Tao immediately got up and scampered off...

He didn't even dare to look back at Xu Sheng, for fear of being silenced!

At the same time, Tang San, who was hiding in the shadows, exhibited an incredulous look, "How... how is that possible, Brother Sheng... just with his Martial Soul, he scared away Lord Suyun Tao!!"

That was a second-ring Grand Soul Master!

Then, Xu Sheng glanced toward a certain direction and said calmly, "Xiaosan, come out. Stop hiding behind there!"

But there was no response...

He chuckled coldly again, "Shall I drag you out myself?"

The Nine-Hearted Begonia bloomed splendidly and spread rapidly in all directions, directly binding and dragging the hiding Tang San out to the front of him...

Tang San, having been thrown to the ground with a bump, said with an awkward smile, "Bro... Brother Sheng, I didn't see anything just now!"

Xu Sheng folded his arms and teased, "Did I ask you?"

The former's face instantly stiffened, and he swallowed hard, "Brother Sheng, you... you wouldn't silence me, would you?"

"I... I promise, I won't tell anyone!!"

After uttering these two sentences, Xu Sheng's pupils changed...

No, that's not right!

This past was completely off!

The Tang San before him was a bit too foolish!

He didn't at all seem like someone who had lived a second life!
