Chapter 114 Destiny
Xie Xie said with a bitter face: "It's over, this is really the lair of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, there can't be a young Three-Eyed Golden Lion in there, right?"

Tang Wulin asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Xie Xie sighed and said, “Didn’t the book say that? Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears have a fishy smell, but this cave is not only dry, but also has a faint musky scent. The legend of the Emperor’s Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion has this smell, so this must be its residence.”

The five people quickly entered the cave and then moved quickly into the depths of the cave. It was pitch black inside the cave, but after entering, they found a different world. The height of the cave soon exceeded five meters and became more and more open.

After turning a corner, there was a faint light ahead, and all kinds of gems began to appear on the ground, these gems were flashing with a faint light.

However, for people of their age, gems are just beautiful stones. What they are more curious about is what the place where the three-eyed golden lion lives looks like.

“I guess this gem can’t be taken out of the virtual world?” Xie Xie glanced at the ground.

Tang Wulin said, "Don't be greedy. Didn't you see that I didn't even take the gems? If anyone could take the gems away, would Shrek Academy still leave them to us? This is common sense."

"Haha." Xie Xie laughed. When it comes to money-grubbers, who can compare to Tang Wulin?

After turning another corner, the road ahead suddenly opened up.

But at this moment, a sharp cry suddenly rang out, followed by a golden figure rushing towards them like lightning.

The others immediately looked alert, and then saw the golden figure bump into the phantom, and seemed to be held by the phantom forcibly.

The golden light and shadow could be seen clearly now. They had all seen the appearance of the three-eyed golden lion before, and the one in front of them looked clearly like a smaller version of the three-eyed golden lion, or a mini version.

This three-eyed golden lion is less than 1.5 meters long and only about six feet tall at the shoulder. It looks like a big dog, but its appearance is similar to the previous adult three-eyed golden lion, except that the vertical pupil on its forehead is closed and not open.

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't you two girls like this cute little creature?" Huan Ling held the small three-eyed golden lion in her arms, stroking it constantly, and asked Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes almost turned into stars. She quickly ran over and gently stroked the three-eyed golden lion, exclaiming from time to time.

Gu Yue also came over and gently stroked the little three-eyed golden lion with a very complicated look in his eyes.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also came over and exclaimed in amazement. Although it was fake, it looked exactly like the real three-eyed golden lion.

Xu Xiaoyan squatted on the ground and asked, "What should we do now?"

"Wait a moment, I think the people who will take us out will be here soon." Gu Yue said calmly, "What do you think the Douluo Continent would be like now if the auspicious emperor beast from ten thousand years ago hadn't died?"

Huan Ling handed the three-eyed golden lion to Xu Xiaoyan. The little guy seemed to have fainted from fright and closed his eyes.

Huan Ling said: “If the auspicious emperor beast is not sacrificed to Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao still becomes a god, then the war between soul beasts and humans will still exist in the future, but it will not be a one-sided situation.”

"But humans' greed will definitely lead them to attack the auspicious emperor beasts, because that could help the Ultimate Douluo to advance further, and perhaps represent the hope of becoming a god, and then it will be a fight to the death." "And with human technology, the soul beasts may be the losers in the end, and their fate will still be the same as it is now, relying on the power of the Beast God to survive."

“But this is also very normal.” Huan Ling looked at Gu Yue and said, “Humanity has the divine world behind it. When soul beasts are stronger than humans, it is impossible for them to destroy humans. When the divine world is gone, humans will be stronger than soul beasts again. If you want to blame someone, blame the once strongest divine beast. The fate of soul beasts was created by him.”

Gu Yue lowered his head and pondered. Was it really all the Dragon God's fault...

Suddenly, three eyes appeared at the entrance of the cave without warning. The two golden eyes were closed, and the red eyes were flashing with an enchanting light.

The bodies of the five people froze instantly, as if time and space were completely banned at this moment.

Then they saw that the huge head opened its mouth and spewed out a golden flame, instantly covering them. The powerful adult three-eyed golden lion had returned.

The phantom opened his eyes between his brows and emitted a silver ray of destruction. Even though he used all his strength, he was still melted by the golden flame in an instant.

The five people were quickly swallowed up by the gold, and everything around them gradually turned into darkness.

The darkness turned into light again, the metal drawer slid open, and the five people sat up one after another. It was still the same metal room, and the big screen was showing where they were before.

"Your wisdom has successfully earned you full marks." Elder Cai came over, applauded them, and said, "This assessment is to determine whether you are qualified to join Shrek Academy, and whether you can directly join the inner courtyard."

"I also passed these ten tests to enter the academy like you. Perhaps you don't know that the ninth level you are going through is the highest level of the test and the most difficult."

"This assessment will test your patience, your ability to survive, and more importantly, your character."

"The ninth level does not focus on the assessment of survival ability, but more on character. No matter how powerful a soul master is, if he does not have an upright, kind, and fair heart, then his powerful strength will only have a counterproductive effect on the entire society and the entire federation, and Shrek Academy will never cultivate such a person."

"Be able to wait patiently and find the canyon. This is the first level you must pass. It's a level that doesn't score any points."

"See the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, and realize how powerful they are. This is the second hurdle you face."

"After that, you will find the cave and enter bravely. This is a test of courage and the third level."

"But these three levels are what you must complete in the ninth assessment, but they don't give you any points."

"Find the young three-eyed golden lion and defeat it. This is your fourth level. If you lose and cannot defeat the three-eyed golden lion, you can only exit with zero points because this assessment has not actually been carried out."

"The real test will begin when you defeat the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and obtain its spirit rings and spirit bones."

"You will face a choice. Who will own such precious spirit rings and spirit bones? I have seen countless teams show their humanity when faced with this challenge. They selfishly want to take them for themselves, and even do not hesitate to attack their companions, thus eventually falling into the abyss of darkness."
