Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 326 Dark Demon God Transforms into a Pet

Seeing Ye Liangchen return, Poseidon and the three maids finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master, we were terrified when you and that big tiger were suddenly sucked into that black hole."

"Young master, where did you go? Why can't even the adults sense your presence anymore...?"

The three girls, Xiaoli, Xiaoling, and Xiaoyun, immediately surrounded Ye Liangchen, chattering away and asking him a barrage of questions.

"Xiao Chen, what just happened? Could the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger have spatial abilities?"

Poseidon had sensed a spatial fluctuation earlier, but when she tried to use her mental power, she couldn't detect Ye Liangchen, which shocked her greatly.

"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses several elemental powers, including wind, thunder, time, space, evil, and darkness. It is a true super soul beast, and spatial ability is just one of its many attributes."

"In addition, it also possesses two major domains, one is the Dark Domain and the other is the Life and Death Domain. The last domain it activates is called the Life and Death Arena. In that space, it directly transforms the opponent into the appearance of a six-year-old, while it itself can remain unchanged, thus easily defeating the opponent."

"However, I broke through the time shield on its body before, and when it entered the arena of life and death, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also turned into its childhood form, and was eventually subdued by me."

Ye Liangchen explained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's abilities to Poseidon, since no one had ever seen such a super soul beast before, let alone understood its abilities.

"It actually possesses six elemental abilities? And can even reverse aging?"

"This Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is too powerful. Legend has it that an evil god descended upon a white tiger, causing it to mutate. It seems that this might be true."

When Poseidon heard Ye Liangchen describe the powerful abilities of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he was immediately astonished.

"Young master, what about that big tiger? Did you put it into your spatial treasure?"

The three girls, Xiao Li and Xiao Li, wanted to see the big tiger. They had been put into the game's pet space by Ye Liangchen before and knew the magic of that treasure. As long as they entered that space, they would automatically become their master's pets.

"The Dark Demon God Tiger is now my pet. You all step back a bit, and I'm going to release it."

"I had to hit all four of its legs to subdue it, and now I need to treat its injuries."

"Buzzing..."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen summoned the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger from the game's pet space.

"roar…"

"Master, my legs hurt so much..."

As soon as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger appeared, the pain in its four legs made it let out a miserable cry. Then it looked at Ye Liangchen with a pitiful expression, used its mental power to transmit a message to him, and kept trying to gain sympathy.

At this moment, the cold aura emanating from the tiger had subsided, and it stretched out its massive head to rub against Ye Liangchen's feet like a docile big cat.

"Wow! What a huge tiger!"

The three girls, Xiaoli and Xiaoli, were terrified when they saw the eight-meter-long body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and quickly hid behind Ye Liangchen and Poseidon.

"Can you speak?" Poseidon asked the tiger.

"I can understand human language, but I cannot speak yet," the Dark Demon God Tiger transmitted to Poseidon through his soul.

"Hmm, you're actually a tigress?" Poseidon was quite surprised to hear a woman's voice in his mind.

"I've always been a tigress, what's so strange about that?"

The Dark Demon God Tiger tilted its head, looked at Poseidon, and revealed a human-like expression.

"Okay!" Poseidon smiled, finding the big tiger quite amusing.

"Master, you were too ruthless! All four of my legs are broken, it hurts so much!"

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger complained to Ye Liangchen again, a resentful look in his eyes.

"I had no choice, why did you try to eat me just now?" Ye Liangchen chuckled, thinking to himself: How can I subdue you if I don't hurt you?

"Bear with it, I'll treat your injuries right away."

Ye Liangchen took out his long knife and first removed several bullets from the Dark Demon God Tiger's leg, otherwise the bullets would be embedded in its leg bone, making it unable to walk.

"roar…"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger watched as Ye Liangchen used a knife to cut its leg, and immediately felt pain, letting out continuous screams. However, it dared not move, knowing that its master was healing its wounds.

"You're such a big tiger, and you can't even endure this little bit of pain? What's the use of your 60,000-plus years of cultivation?"

"Just bear with it."

Ye Liangchen reached out and rubbed the tiger's forehead, like petting a cat; it felt quite smooth.

"Master! Wasn't it you who injured me? Why are you saying that about me?"

The Dark Demon God Tiger let out a coquettish cry, like a wronged girl.

"alright!"

"I will heal your injuries right away."

Ye Liangchen took out all the bullets and immediately summoned the Goddess of Life Martial Soul. He found that his fifth soul skill had turned into a red 100,000-year soul ring. It seemed that his soul power had increased to level 90 and the age of his fifth soul ring had automatically increased to 100,000 years.

"Wow! Young master, your martial spirit is so beautiful!"

Xiao Li, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Yun were utterly astonished when they saw Ye Liangchen's first martial soul.

"Your fifth spirit ring actually leveled up?"

Poseidon was also astonished by Ye Liangchen's spirit ring. It was black a while ago, but now it has turned red. It was too unexpected.

"My fifth spirit ring was formed for me by the Tree of Life. It is considered my natal spirit ring. As my strength increases, the age of the spirit ring also increases automatically," Ye Liangchen explained to Poseidon.

"Master, your martial spirit is so beautiful."

At this moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared at Ye Liangchen's martial soul and found that the aura emanating from the martial soul made him feel very comfortable. He thought to himself: I was attracted by this aura back then.

"Master, my legs hurt so much! Please heal them!"

At this moment, the pain in his leg brought the Dark Demon Tiger back to his senses, and he immediately tried to play the victim to Ye Liangchen.

"Alright! I'll heal your wounds right away."

"Holy Light Healing Technique"

Ye Liangchen unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, transforming into the form of the Goddess of Life, and used the Holy Light Healing Technique to fully treat the giant tiger.

"Buzzing..."

In an instant, a powerful green light enveloped the Dark Demon God Tiger, and the life force rapidly healed the wounds on its legs.

Within a radius of 100 meters covered by the power of life, various flowers and plants sprout from the ground and grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, immersing everyone in a picturesque environment.

"Waaah..."

"Master, you are amazing."

The Dark Demon God Tiger's four legs had all healed, and its soul seemed to have been elevated, so it couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.

"Wow! Young master has become a stunning beauty."

The three little girls were once again astonished by the form of Ye Liangchen's Martial Soul True Body, their mouths agape in an "o" shape.

"Big kitty, how about we name you Little Black?"

Ye Liangchen withdrew his martial spirit, reached out and rubbed the forehead of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and gave it a name.

"Pfft...!"

When Poseidon and the three maids saw that Ye Liangchen had given the big tiger such an unpleasant name, they couldn't help but laugh.

"don't want!"

"Little Black is such an awful name, Master! Please give me a better one!"

Dark Demon God Tiger directly rejected the name Xiao Hei, thinking: She's a girl, how can she be given such an awful name?

"Hmm, let me think about it."

"I'll call you Shadow Phantom!"

Ye Liangchen recalled watching the anime "Lord of All Realms" in his previous life, where the ancient divine beast Shadow Demon's true form was a dark-colored female leopard, which looked similar to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. So he directly named this big tiger Shadow Demon.

"Shadow Phantom? That's a nice name."

"Thank you, Master."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was very satisfied with its new name. It excitedly circled around Ye Liangchen and even stretched out its huge head to rub against Ye Liangchen, trying to please its master.

"Shadow Demon, let me introduce you. This white-haired beauty is Sister Bobo, a demigod-level powerhouse. These are Little Fox, Little Bell, and Little Purple, Sister Bobo's maids."

Ye Liangchen introduced Poseidon and the others to Yingmei, letting it get acquainted with them, since the creature's intelligence was now almost on par with humans.

"Sister Bobo, Xiaoli, Xiaoling, Xiaoyun."

"Hello, I am Shadow."

Yingmei used her mental power to send a message to Poseidon and the others, which could be considered as a greeting. These people were close to her master, and she needed to maintain a good relationship with them.

"Shadow Demon, you're actually a woman too?"

The three girls were incredibly excited to hear that the big tiger was actually using its mental power to transmit its voice to them, and they even reached out to touch the tiger's fur.

"I've always been a tigress."

Yingmei tilted her head, looking at the three little girls, not understanding why they were so surprised to see her as a tigress, even their master was surprised.

"Pfft..."

Poseidon couldn't help but laugh. This tiger was frighteningly large, but its personality was adorable, just like an innocent and cute girl.

"Shadow Demon, Xiao Chen told me you have a death arena. Could you demonstrate it so I can experience it?" Poseidon also wanted to see what she looked like when she was six years old.

"OK."

"roar…"

Shadow Demon roared and immediately activated the Domain of Life and Death.

"Buzzing..."

In an instant, a black hole appeared above them, sucking Ye Liangchen and his group, along with Ying Mei, into that space.

「欢迎来到生死竞技场：5、4、3、2、1。」

As the group entered the arena of life and death, a woman's voice rang out, while Shadow Demon, still maintaining its enormous body, quietly watched Ye Liangchen and his group, awaiting instructions.

"Shadow Demon, start demonstrating." Ye Liangchen gestured for Shadow Demon to get to work quickly.

"Yes, Master." Shadow Demon immediately injected black light into a disc in the arena.

"Swish..."

In an instant, the Wheel of Time activated, instantly transforming Ye Liangchen and his group into their six-year-old selves.

"Sister Bobo, you've shrunk."

"Little Tanuki, Little Bell, Little Yun, you were all so cute when you were little!"

Ye Liangchen looked at Poseidon and the three girls beside him, all of whom had turned into their six-year-old selves. They were absolutely adorable.

"Xiao Chen, you're the same."

"Young master, you were so cute when you were little! May we stroke your face a little?"

"Little Tanuki, what are you asking? Just pinch it."

Poseidon, Xiaoli, and the other two were completely charmed when they saw Ye Liangchen transformed into an adorable little boy. They immediately reached out and pinched Ye Liangchen's cheeks.

"Master, you were so cute when you were little!"

Yingmei watched Ye Liangchen being tormented by the three Poseidon girls and found it very amusing. She revealed a playful expression and thought to herself: "When I transform into human form in the future, I will also pinch my master's face."

"Shadow Demon, quickly dispel this skill."

While prying away Poseidon and the others' claws, Ye Liangchen shouted to Yingmei.

"Yes, Master."

"Buzzing..."

With the Shadow Demon dispelling the Life and Death Domain, Ye Liangchen and his group reappeared in the forest with the giant tiger.

"Pfft...!"

Poseidon couldn't help but laugh again when she remembered that Ye Liangchen had turned into an adorable little boy.

"Ha ha……"

"Young master, we really couldn't help it, please don't take offense."

Xiao Li and the other two clutched their stomachs and squatted on the ground, laughing hysterically.

"Stop laughing, let's go back to the valley."

Ye Liangchen urged everyone to head towards the valley. They had fought with the big cat earlier, and it was getting dark.

"Master, let me take you away."

The Shadow Demon lay on the ground, gesturing for Ye Liangchen and his group to jump onto its back, willingly becoming its mount.

"Oh well!"

"Finally, I have a decent mount, Sister Bobo. I feel that Shadow Charm is cooler than Little White."

Ye Liangchen beckoned Poseidon and the others to jump onto the back of the giant tiger. This tiger was eight meters long and could easily carry twenty people; it was incredibly exhilarating.

"Not bad," Poseidon nodded.

"Master, who is Xiaobai?" Yingmei asked Ye Liangchen curiously.

"A 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark, she's quite strong... We'll go to Seagod Island in a while, and you can have a match with that great white shark if you have the chance."

Ye Liangchen slowly introduced Seagod Island and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King to Yingmei, hoping to broaden the tiger's horizons.

"Okay! Okay!"

Shadow Demon immediately became interested in the 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark, feeling confident that she could defeat it.

"Shadow Demon, you mustn't hurt Little White!"

Poseidon felt that the Demon Soul Great White Shark King might not be a match for this big tiger, and was a little worried that Little White might get hurt.

"Don't worry, Sister Bobo, I know what I'm doing."

As Ye Liangchen's pet, Yingmei cannot kill at will unless her master agrees.

"Huff huff..."

The Shadow Demon spread its enormous wings, harnessing the power of the wind, and carried everyone gliding rapidly toward the small valley.

"Wow...! It's flying!"

The three little raccoons were enjoying the feeling of flying; it was absolutely exhilarating.

"Shadow Phantom, not bad."

Ye Liangchen and Poseidon were also surprised that this big tiger, which weighed at least several thousand kilograms, was able to fly at low altitudes. It was truly remarkable.

"Master, thank you for the compliment."

Shadowy nodded excitedly, feeling very useful to receive praise from its master.

"Buzzing..."

"Shadow Demon, this is the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon meat I roasted earlier. It's a soul beast with a cultivation level of 70,000 years. Try it."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen took out several hundred kilograms of roasted meat from his game inventory and threw it to the big tiger.

Then he took out some roasted meat and water and gave them to Poseidon and the three maids for dinner. It was already dark, and he was too lazy to go into the mountains and forests to catch pheasants.

"Wow, Master, this is so delicious!"

As Yingmei ate the spicy and fragrant roasted meat, her eyes lit up, and she felt that the raw soul beast meat she used to eat was disgusting.

"Shadow Demon, eat more if it's delicious."

"Remember to eat cooked food from now on. Maybe in a few years, you'll be able to speak."

Ye Liangchen earnestly persuaded Yingmei to eat cooked food, believing it would promote its evolution and subtly remove the ferocity inherent in the tiger.

"I will follow Master's orders. Eating raw soul beasts is too unpalatable. I will never eat them again."

While eating the barbecue, Yingmei responded to Ye Liangchen, thinking: With such delicious barbecue, who would still eat raw meat?

"Pfft...!"

Poseidon and the three little girls could tell from Yingmei's ravenous eating that he had been influenced by Ye Liangchen.
