Xiao Wu and Her Younger Brothers

You Chen has read many Douluo fanfics that include this plot point.

The protagonist uses various means to directly or indirectly attack Tang San, making Tang San overly anxious to increase his power in a short period of time, and then destroy his own Great Wall.

There are versions where Tang San uses the Eight Spider Lances to absorb Soul Master, turning him into Evil Soul Master and making him a wanted figure across the continent; and versions where Tang San is forced by pressure to prematurely attach Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, causing him to be stuck at a certain level and unable to break through to the next realm...

There are many more examples.

You Chen thinks the most classic version is the one where the Spirit Hall uses Tang San's mother's Soul Bone as a reward for the Soul Master Grand Competition, and then Tang Hao tricks Tang San into adding Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer in advance, ultimately resulting in a complete loss.

It was the most logical and interesting development in his opinion.

However, he didn't have the patience to wait for the Soul Master Grand Competition. He had already absorbed Tang San's mother's Soul Bone, so he naturally couldn't replicate the plot development one-to-one.

However, he felt that the scenario of guiding Tang San's personality to become overly power-hungry, leading him to prematurely attach Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, and then destroying his own Great Wall, was worth using.

Yu Xiaogang was unaware of the precautions involved in cultivating Twin Martial Souls. He only knew that cultivating Twin Martial Souls carried the risk of death, but he didn't know where this risk came from or how to avoid it. That's why he later went to seek advice from Bibi Dong, even though he felt he had to endure humiliation.

However, it was just Flash of Inspiration for him. He thought of adding Soul Ring rings to the Second Martial Soul after the First Martial Soul was finished. This method of cultivating the Soul Ring in sequence was actually in line with the situation of preventing the Twin Martial Souls from exploding.

He just didn't know it himself.

The reason he repeatedly reminded Tang San not to attach Soul Ring Clear Sky Hammer was simply to increase the age of the Soul Ring as much as possible, so that Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer could have a full set of ten-thousand- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

It was actually a case of blind cat catching a dead Haozi.

After all, the Fifth Soul Ring can be attached as Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

If Tang San only wanted a complete set of Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, he could have added Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer after becoming Soul King.

If one is in a little hurry and wants to break through as soon as possible, they might attach a few Thousand-Year Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer. In fact, the difference in strength between the Clear Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would not be that great, but it would allow one to catch up with a considerable number of cultivation levels at once.

Moreover, this does not contradict Yu Xiaogang's theory.

However, what Tang San didn't know was that the biggest limitation of Twin Martial Souls with attached Soul Ring actually lay in physical strength and life level.

Even Titled Douluo's life level and physique cannot withstand Soul Ring's lifespan of a million years.

And for those who haven't reached the Titled Douluo and haven't experienced this great leap in their life level, there's even less to say.

However, those with Twin Martial Souls should also be aware of the conflicts that may arise from the increased number of Martial Soul Ring associated with them.

More Soul Ring bring stronger physical attributes, but before breaking through the limits, the disadvantages of this conflict outweigh the benefits of enhancing physical strength.

You Chen roughly calculated that if Tang San had equipped each of his two Martial Soul with five Soul Ring while still at the Soul King stage, he would have had virtually no chance of breaking through to the Soul Emperor.

However you think about it, Tang San couldn't possibly be that stupid.

Given his personality, even if he is pushed to the limit, he will not forget to improve his foundation as much as possible. Therefore, the minimum age he can accept for his Second Martial Soul should be a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, starting with a black ring.

Given Tang San's physique and mental strength when he reached the Soul King, the maximum he could add a total of three ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was probably the limit.

However, You Chen did not insist on this development.

Even if Tang San is indeed acting as he expected, because of the words of the Xiao Wu phantom he created, which caused him to break down, there is no guarantee that he will not take the path of prematurely attaching Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul and destroying his own defenses.

You Chen's goal was simply to destroy Tang San's Dao heart and make him develop an impatient and eager-to-achieve nature.

The core area of Star Dou Great Forest, on the edge of the Lake of Life.

"Really? I'm relieved to know that you're doing well in the human world, Sister Xiao Wu."

Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu, who had been separated for a long time, were exchanging pleasantries.

Upon receiving a positive response from Xiao Wu everything was going smoothly, both Da Ming's stern face and Er Ming's ape-like face relaxed.

"By the way, Sister Xiao Wu, have you made any good friends in the human world?"

Unlike the composed Da Ming, Er Ming is someone who can't keep his thoughts to himself.

After seeing that Xiao Wu was safe and sound, he couldn't help but think of You Chen's matter and began to subtly inquire about it.

"Er Ming..."

Da Ming looked at Er Ming with some reproach in his eyes, feeling that Er Ming was a bit reckless, but fortunately he was also very curious, so he didn't say anything more to Er Ming.

"Friend?"

Xiao Wu assumed they were jealous.

He felt that he was living a very successful life in the human world, even though he was Soul Beast. Perhaps he had made friends in the human world, which is why he showed such an expression.

If Xiao Wu were truly a gentle and caring older sister, she would probably have already begun comforting the two beasts by now.

But the domineering and self-centered Sister Xiao Wu naturally showed her displeasure. "Why do you all have to interfere with how I, Sister Xiao Wu, make friends? Da Ming, Er Ming, you've really grown quite a handful in just a few days!"

As she spoke, she waved her little fist.

If someone unaware of the situation saw Xiao Wu, a mere Soul Ancestor, acting so nonchalantly in front of two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, they might think this girl was crazy.

But when the two turtle-like male Soul Beast saw Xiao Wu's feigned anger, they dared not speak.

Seeing Da Ming Er Ming bowing their heads in remorse, Xiao Wu proudly raised her head, revealing her tiger teeth. "Alright, I was just kidding. Actually, humans aren't that different from us except for the race. I have indeed met quite a few interesting and fun humans. Didn't I tell you? I even gathered a whole bunch of followers in Notting City..."

Xiao Wu then launched into a long, detailed account of her reign as king and ruler of the human world.

Judging from his proud demeanor, it was as if he had not just become the king of children, but had truly conquered two great empires.

But Da Ming Er Ming were very supportive, praising Xiao Wu's abilities.

But when it comes to human friends, it's impossible to only mention Mu Feng, who is called Da Hei by Xiao Wu and treated like a pet.

Tang San and his ilk are fine, but when it comes to the thought of mentioning You Chen in front of her two younger brothers, Xiao Wu can't help but feel a little shy and embarrassed, and she always inadvertently omits a part of the situation.

Just like an older sister might boast to her younger brother about the great achievements she made at school, she would be extremely ashamed to talk about her first love.

This resulted in a section of Xiao Wu's account of interpersonal relationships being inexplicably missing.

Towards the end, Xiao Wu inexplicably felt ashamed and indignant, and said, "That's about it," before abruptly changing the subject.

The simple-minded Er Ming didn't notice anything amiss, but the clever Da Ming had already realized that a certain character was "hidden" in Xiao Wu's conversation.

'It seems that man wasn't lying last time. But...'

Da Ming's eyes were filled with complex emotions: 'I didn't expect Sister Xiao Wu's attitude towards him to be so different. I'm afraid...'

The thought of that possibility dimmed the light in Da Ming's eyes.

"Da Ming, what's wrong?"

Having spent a long time with her two younger brothers, Xiao Wu quickly noticed that Da Ming. Looking at the absent-minded Da Ming, she asked with a puzzled and concerned expression, "Could it be that some human Soul Master broke in and injured you?"

Before Da Ming could speak, Er Ming spoke up with a look of indignation. Da Ming, realizing what was happening, tried to stop him, but it was too late.

"Ahhh, Sister Xiao Wu! Speaking of human Soul Master, I'm reminded of that brat from last time!"

"Er Ming! That's enough!"

Da Ming tried to stop Er Ming from attacking You Chen.

"Huh? Why, brother?" Er Ming had completely forgotten about the possible relationship between You Chen and Xiao Wu, and probably wouldn't realize it until he said it himself.

Xiao Wu looked suspicious and wrinkled her nose. "Da Ming, what are you doing? Are you bullying your brother? Er Ming, it's okay, keep talking! With your Sister Xiao Wu here, Da Ming won't dare to bully you!"

Da Ming's breath hitched, he turned his head away, and remained silent. He felt a surge of resentment.

Then, with a resentful expression, Er Ming recounted how You Chen had hunted down his underlings and then beaten him up.

Xiao Wu initially appeared to share the same hatred, but as Er Ming described the human Soul Master's various moves, especially the distinctive Starlight Avatar, she suddenly felt a pang of unease, and her expression turned strange.

Xiao Wu suddenly asked, "So, what did that human Soul Master do to you in the end?"

"No, not at all. Oh, by the way, it seems he was also with you Sister Xiao Wu —ah!"

It seems I know you, Sister Xiao Wu — Er Ming didn't finish his sentence.

Even though he was stunned, he finally came to his senses.

Xiao Wu crossed her arms and pouted, "Alright, that guy's name is You Chen, he's my... friend! Tell me, how did you know he and I knew each other?"

More than her two younger brothers, and especially the matter of Er Ming getting a beating, Xiao Wu was now more concerned about how You Chen's identity had been revealed.

Of course, Xiao Wu wasn't so love-struck as to forget her brother for the sake of romance. Seeing that Da Ming Er Ming were both perfectly fine, she knew that their encounter had ultimately been limited to a superficial conflict.

Er Ming looked at Xiao Wu, who had suddenly changed her mind and was no longer on his side, and scratched his head in a somewhat aggrieved manner, but still told her about how You Chen had tricked them.

"Stupid, absolutely stupid! You were all fooled by him because of a single hair on my head? As my brother, you're so disgraceful!"

After hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately showed a disgusted expression, then frowned and asked doubtfully, "Seriously, is he really that amazing?"

Da Ming spoke up at the right moment, "Sister Xiao Wu, your friend is definitely comparable to a powerful Ferocious Beast among our Soul Beast."

Then, he showed a hesitant and worried expression. "Sister Xiao Wu, with this kind of strength, he's no ordinary Titled Douluo. He must have recognized your true form. I know what I'm about to say might be unpleasant, but I still have to say it: you must be careful..."

Xiao Wu knew that Da Ming cared about her, and even though she was unhappy because it sounded like family members were nitpicking at her boyfriend, she could only keep it to herself.

She snorted softly and muttered, "This guy knew my Soul Beast identity from the very beginning. You don't need to worry. He doesn't even care about my Soul Ring and has openly expressed his disdain for me! That despicable guy!"

Da Ming was also somewhat taken aback and speechless upon hearing these words.

Er Ming was already filled with righteous indignation. "That despicable human! How dare he look down on Sister Xiao Wu's Soul Ring! Disrespecting Sister Xiao Wu is disrespecting me, Er Ming! Next time I see him, I will definitely give him a good beating!"

Xiao Wu burst out laughing, "But Er Ming, didn't you say you couldn't beat him?"

Upon hearing this, Er Ming immediately deflated. "It... it really is? Damn it! How can mere humans be so strong?"

If it weren't for the fact that cultural papermaking is so low, Er Ming would probably be shouting "Oh, heavens, why have you treated my Soul Beast so cruelly?" right now.

Xiao Wu was joking with her two younger brothers, but her eyes couldn't help rolling around as an idea popped into her head.

'That bastard is so powerful! He said he was going to hide from the Spirit Hall, was he just playing me for a fool? No way, I have to find him and eat his money like a fish, as compensation for beating up Er Ming!'

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu, who considered her logic to be perfectly sound and self-consistent, curled the corners of her mouth.

"Sister Xiao Wu, are you planning to stay here this time?"

Xiao Wu was contemplating seeking refuge with You Chen when Er Ming suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Xiao Wu, seeing the lingering tone in Er Ming's voice, also felt a pang of reluctance. "That's impossible, Er Ming. When I chose this path, it was destined that I would stay in the human world. Besides, you see how well I've concealed my aura now? It's not that I no longer need to use human aura to neutralize my Soul Beast aura, but rather that You Chen gave me a secret technique to cover up my Soul Beast aura..."

Xiao Wu then began to explain.

Upon hearing this explanation and how You Chen had helped Xiao Wu, Er Ming's anger towards You Chen instantly dissipated. One can only say that's just how that rascal is.

"Alright, Er Ming, be more mature and stop hindering Sister Xiao Wu's progress," Da Ming also sternly advised.

Then he nodded to Xiao Wu and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, now you have Storage Soul Tool from the human world, unlike before when it was inconvenient to carry things. Er Ming and I have stored some rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here that we don't really need, which might be useful to you?"

"Fine, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Xiao Wu grinned.

I sighed inwardly, thinking that the Da Ming was indeed the most prudent!

This made her look at Er Ming with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Er Ming, after I leave, remember to listen to Da Ming!"

Having no idea what he had done to offend Xiao Wu Er Ming could only scratch his head and admit it.

Xiao Wu needs to come into contact with humans to continue her cultivation, in order to prevent the risk of her cultivation level regressing.

After collecting some cultivation supplies treasured by Da Ming Er Ming, she only stayed at the edge of the Lake of Life for two more days before choosing to say goodbye.

Of course, Da Ming Er Ming were worried about Xiao Wu's safety, so they sent Xiao Wu out of the core area before saying goodbye.

"Take care, Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Da Ming, Er Ming, take care too! Next time you run into that You Chen guy, don't worry about saving face for me, just give him a good beating! Hehe!"

With cheerful laughter, Xiao Wu's figure disappeared into the depths of the woods.

Da Ming pondered Xiao Wu's last words, sighed inwardly, and instructed Er Ming, "Just listen to what Sister Xiao Wu at the end. Don't say that the human has probably become much stronger since we haven't seen him for a while. We are probably no match for him. Even if we could beat him, he is Sister Xiao Wu's friend, so we can't attack him."

"Hmm, I didn't realize you were so sensible, Da Ming."

You Chen's laughter rang out at just the right moment.
