Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 67: Fourth on the Soul Beast Ranking - The Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
Himeko grinned: "This white worm is interesting. It's cunning and mischievous. I quite like this kind of naughty creature. It's a bit like Kiana! However, those who want to mess with it are probably in for a headache. Look at its smug look. After receiving so many rewards from the Heavenly Dao, it's no longer someone to be trifled with."

Theresa laughed too: "It seems that a 'bug-hunting craze' is about to sweep across the mainland."

Zhang Yi looked at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was excitedly rolling around and shouting across the sky, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head slightly:

"A once-in-a-million-year opportunity, a sliver of heavenly secret. This lazybones has forged an unconventional path to heaven for himself."

"However, its ability to survive has indeed been enhanced. Now, let's see if this incredibly lucky insect can continue to maintain this good fortune."

His gaze held a hint of amusement, as if he could already foresee the countless farces and tragicomedies that would soon unfold among the various forces on the mainland over this "harmless" ice silkworm.

…………

Meanwhile, the golden light emanating from the Heavenly Golden List did not cease.

Above the sky, unlike the biting wind of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm from the far north, a ray of auspicious light, like the rising sun, instantly dispelled all the cold!
The camera quickly projected onto the core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, onto a sunny, vibrant, and pristine spot.

In the center of the image, a strangely shaped golden soul beast is gazing up at the sky.

Its body is like a lion, but its four paws are like a dragon's. Its entire body is covered with translucent golden fur, which shimmers with a glass-like luster in the sunlight.

What is most striking is the vertical eye on its forehead. It is not as eerie as the Evil Emperor's eye, but rather it shines with a brilliance that is intertwined with wisdom and destiny, as if it can see through the past and the future.

It is the auspicious symbol of the Starry Sky Forest, the three-eyed golden lion, an imperial beast formed by gathering the fortune of heaven and earth!

[Soul Beast Potential Ranking, 4th Place - Three-Eyed Golden Lion (Beast King Level, Imperial Auspicious Beast, Light/Fire/Destiny)]

[Race]: Three-Eyed Golden Lion (Beast King level, favored by the heavens and earth, an auspicious soul beast)

[Bloodline]: Born with a portion of the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest and even the entire Douluo Continent, a unique darling of destiny, an innate beast emperor.

[Cultivation Level]: 15,000 years (but its true combat strength and status are comparable to an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast)

[Potential Assessment]: ★★★★★★★ (Extremely High Potential)

[Talent Domain]: Auspicious Spirits (Passive domain; its very existence greatly accelerates the growth rate of soul beasts within the domain and significantly increases the success rate of 100,000-year-old soul beasts breaking through bottlenecks. Within the domain, all things live in harmony and flourish.)
Core Competencies:
Ultimate Light and Fire: Controlling the ultimate light and fire, sacred and radiant, purifying evil spirits, its flames contain auspicious energy, not merely destroying, but also possessing the power of creation and enlightenment.

Eye of Destiny: The third eye on its forehead is a condensation of the power of destiny, capable of peering into fragments of the river of fate, perceiving good and bad fortune, and to a certain extent interfering with or guiding the trajectory of destiny (currently mainly passively seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune). Within its gaze, it can dispel illusions, calm the mind, and deter evil spirits.

Blessed by Luck: As an auspicious beast, it is protected by the luck of heaven and earth, has profound blessings, and encounters many extraordinary events. Those who do good to it will receive a reward of luck, while those who do evil to it will suffer a backlash of misfortune.

[Reason for inclusion]: Not for its combat prowess, but for its irreplaceable auspicious nature and immense strategic value to the Soul Beast race. Its existence is one of the key pivots to the prosperity of the Soul Beast race, and its potential points directly to the supreme laws of destiny and fortune, with an immeasurable upper limit to its growth.

[Potential Ranking Rewards]:
Destiny Marrow: Formed from the purest power of destiny and auspicious energy, it can fully activate the potential of the Eye of Destiny, greatly enhance its perception and micro-control of the power of destiny, and allow it to see more clearly the destiny nodes related to the rise and fall of the soul beast race.

Innate Divine Ability Enhancement – ​​[Renewal of All Things]: Enhances the effect of its "Auspicious Blessings for All Spirits" domain. Within the domain's range, it not only accelerates growth and increases the rate of breaking through bottlenecks, but also slightly purifies the bloodline of soul beasts and has a certain probability of triggering beneficial mutations, guiding soul beasts to evolve in a better direction. At the same time, the domain has a very strong effect on the recovery of injuries and the purification of status effects for friendly units.

Fundamental Enhancement – ​​[Radiant Golden Body]: Strengthens its light and fire attributes and physical body, multiplying its ultimate light and fire power, and condensing an indestructible radiant flame to protect it, giving it absolute control over evil and dark attributes. Its physical strength and regenerative abilities are greatly enhanced, truly giving it the ability to fight against top-tier ferocious beasts.

"...An imperial auspicious beast?! The legendary three-eyed golden lion!"

"Heavens! Fifteen thousand years of cultivation, and he's ranked fifth? His talent is even above that of the Snow Emperor and the Evil Emperor?"

"Auspicious Beast! A supreme being in legends that can bring good fortune and enhance the cultivation speed of soul beasts!"

"The Eye of Destiny! It can even glimpse destiny? This... this is no longer a concept of power!"

"Destiny Marrow, a renewal of all things... These rewards are practically tailor-made for the entire Soul Beast race! Is the Star Dou Great Forest about to usher in a golden age?!"

The entire Douluo Continent was in an uproar once again!

This time, it wasn't out of fear, but out of shock and disbelief.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion can actually influence the fortune of soul beasts and the future of their race!
……

Star Forest, Lake of Life.

All the ferocious beasts focused their gaze on the golden figure that the Crimson King was carefully protecting behind him, their eyes filled with unprecedented fervor and excitement!
"Auspicious beast! An auspicious beast has made the list!"

Biji's gentle eyes were filled with joy, "The Heavenly Dao has recognized the importance of the auspicious beast to our race and has given it an extremely high position!"

Xiong Jun roared, his tone still irritable, tinged with a hint of awkward concern: "This little guy is a lucky star for us soul beasts, we must protect him well! Anyone who dares to touch him, I'll tear them to pieces!"

The Red King raised his three heads high, filled with pride, as if he himself had made the list.

The countless demonic eyes of the Demon King gleamed with a sharp light, seemingly plotting something, but there was no doubt that the auspicious beast's improvement would be entirely beneficial to it.

A faint smile appeared on Zi Ji's icy face.

Di Tian slowly lowered his massive dragon head, gazing at the three-eyed golden lion in the sky, his golden dragon eyes filled with anticipation:

"The growth of the Emperor's Auspicious Beast is related to the future rise and fall of our clan. You must seize this opportunity."

Deep within the lake, Gu Yuena's ethereal voice, brimming with undisguised joy and excitement, resounded, clearly penetrating the minds of every ferocious beast:
"The auspicious beast is a treasure bestowed upon our soul beast race by heaven and earth, and its potential far exceeds my expectations! With this [Renewal of All Things] domain, our Star Dou Great Forest will surely usher in an unprecedented golden age for the next thousand years! Crimson King, you must protect the auspicious beast and not allow it to be lost!"

Empire of the Sun and Moon, Demonic Forest.

A hint of disgust and apprehension flashed in the Evil Emperor's enormous eyes: "Hmph! The power of destiny... troublesome thing!"

Although it is also a soul beast, it instinctively rejects this kind of existence that can also interfere with the trajectory of fate.

Especially that auspicious aura, which is its natural nemesis that it cannot see!
