Make It Give Me an Explanation
Oscar's clone transformed into a streak of light, tracking the direction the Titan Giant Ape had gone. However, the opponent's strength was too great, leaving almost no trace. The clone could only rely on its unparalleled speed to chase after it in a certain direction.
If they manage to catch up this time, Oscar will definitely not let the Titan Giant Ape get away with it so easily.
He had considered that the Titan Giant Ape would attack them, but he hadn't expected that it would crush them with all its might. After all, in the original story Titan Giant Ape had played with Zhao Wuji for so long.
As it turns out, the events in the original story can be used as a reference, but they should never be taken as absolute fact, because what you are doing now may not be the same as in the original story or follow the plot development.
If the Shrek Academy students were to see the Titan Giant Ape advancing from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, they would be greatly astonished.
Because at this moment, Xiao Wu was no longer being held in the giant's hand, but sitting upright on the broad shoulders of the Titan Giant Ape. Although the Titan Giant Ape ran fast, it was extremely stable. Sitting on its shoulders, Xiao Wu could not even feel the slightest vibration.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, perched on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, wore a worried expression and kept glancing in the opposite direction from which the Titan Giant Ape was running.
"Er Ming, let's stay here." Xiao Wu said with some worry, "Don't go any further, I need to get back as soon as possible. Otherwise, they'll worry."
After saying this, Xiao Wu looked angrily at the Titan Giant Ape's enormous head. "Er Ming, you really shouldn't have come out to find me."
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, the Titan Giant Ape miraculously stopped and crouched down, letting Xiao Wu fall from its shoulder to the ground. At the same time, it shook its large head blankly, its eyes revealing an innocent expression.
Xiao Wu didn't really blame the Titan Giant Ape. She said softly, "Er Ming, you really acted impulsively this time. You went all out and directly injured Little San and the Senior Student."
"And now that you've taken me away, Little San must be very anxious. And my Senior Student, he... never mind, I won't talk about that with you now."
"Er Ming, next time you sense my presence, observe from a distance first. Don't act rashly, or you might hurt my friend, which would be troublesome."
Xiao Wu's encounter with it today was quite abrupt, but under those circumstances, she couldn't possibly explain it to the Titan Giant Ape in front of her. She could only use special methods to repeatedly tell it not to hurt people.
But in the end, the Titan Giant Ape still intervened, and she was brought out by it. Although Xiao Wu knew that Er Ming Titan Giant Ape worried about her, this situation was definitely not what Xiao Wu wanted to see. In particular, the injuries to Tang San and Oscar made her extremely worried.
Oscar had already protected her so much, yet this time, because of her, everyone at the Shrek Academy got injured.
Although Xiao Wu knew that Er Ming had held back, Er Ming's strength was too terrifying. Even Flender and Zhao Wuji, who had already advanced to Soul Douluo, were no match for him. Let alone Oscar and Tang San.
The titan ape scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in a slightly honest voice, "Sister Xiaowu, I..."
Xiao Wu sighed as she looked at the Titan Giant Ape: "I'll forgive you this time, but you must not be impulsive next time, understand?"
Hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape nodded honestly, with a smile on his bitter face, "I understand, Sister Xiaowu, I will pay attention next time."
Xiao Wu looked up at the Titan Giant Ape, "Er Ming, how is Da Ming?"
Titan Giant Ape replied, "Big Brother and I have been waiting for you to return at Star Moon Lake. My visit this time was also at Big Brother's request. We... we all miss you very much."
Xiao Wu replied, "That's good. I miss you all too, but I can't leave right now, and... and I don't need to worry about my safety anymore, someone will protect me."
Upon hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape's eyes darted around, concealing a certain emotion within them, and it said with concern, "Sister Xiao Wu, humans are hostile towards us Soul Beast. Even the humans you trust the most, you must be careful. If anything unusual happens, run to the Star Dou Great Forest. My brother and I will definitely get there in time."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu felt a warmth in her heart. Apart from Tang San and Oscar, Da Ming and Er Ming were the people she trusted the most. Only with Da Ming and Er Ming could she truly feel at ease.
However, Xiao Wu is very worried about Tang San and Oscar's situation, since this incident is directly related to her.
Xiao Wu even thought that with Oscar's Senior Student, he would definitely guess something after seeing her return safely, so she had to go back and explain things clearly as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she was really afraid that Oscar would misunderstand something, and his goodwill towards her would dissipate as a result. If that were the case, then Xiao Wu would have nowhere to cry.
Xiao Wu said to the Titan Giant Ape, "Er Ming, I'm afraid my companions will worry, so I have to go back quickly."
Upon hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape remained silent for a moment before saying, "Sister Xiao Wu, I sense that your Soul Power has reached level 30. Do you need me to protect you and help you condense your Third Spirit Ring before returning?"
The Titan Giant Ape said this not only because it was there to protect Xiao Wu and ensure her safety while Xiao Wu condensed her Soul Ring, but also because it wanted to spend more time with Xiao Wu while she did so.
After all, who knows when we'll see each other again after this?
Xiao Wu had thought about this issue, but with Oscar around, she decided to hurry back and meet up with her Senior Student so she could explain the accident to Oscar.
So Xiao Wu replied, "No need, Er Ming, I have my own ideas. You can take me back now."
Upon hearing this, Er Ming's eyes dimmed slightly, then he nodded and said, "Okay."
Then the Titan Giant Ape gently placed Xiao Wu on its shoulder and prepared to return to the place where it had just taken Xiao Wu away.
However, before the Titan Giant Ape could make a move, its dark yellow eyes fixed on the direction it had come from, their light flashing.
"Sister Xiao Wu, a human is coming over. It's the same human who was in your group just now," the Titan Giant Ape said to Xiao Wu on its shoulder.
Xiao Wu's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, but when she looked in the direction the Titan Giant Ape was looking, she couldn't see anything. After all, the Titan Giant Ape was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, while she was only level 30. The two were not on the same level at all. What the Titan Giant Ape could see, Xiao Wu might not be able to see.
Xiao Wu asked nervously, "Was he dressed in all white?"
Upon hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape nodded. Seeing the Titan Giant Ape nod, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Tang San didn't come after her, she wasn't actually that worried.
Xiao Wu was actually quite touched that Oscar was able to catch up with her. Even though Oscar could guess that her relationship with Er Ming was unusual, the fact Senior Student he personally came to catch up with her was enough to prove that he truly cared about her.
Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said to Er Ming, "Er Ming, you should leave first. I'll be fine."
The Titan Giant Ape was puzzled. "Sister Xiao Wu, the opponent's Soul Power is already close to level fifty. If I leave..."
Before the Titan Giant Ape could finish speaking, Xiao Wu continued, "Er Ming, remember this: the reason I'm still able to survive in the human world is because of Senior Student Oscar. Without him, I might already be... someone else's Soul Ring and Spirit Bone."
"He knew my identity, and he has been protecting me all along, even telling me how to conceal my presence..."
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's explanation, the Titan Giant Ape stared in disbelief at the white streak of light hurtling towards them from afar.
Could humans really remain indifferent to a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone that offers no resistance? The Titan Giant Ape didn't believe it. It had lived for tens of thousands of years and, although it had seen kind humans, it had never seen a non-greedy human.
Now, hearing Sister Xiao Wu the other party already knows Sister Xiao Wu's identity? How intelligent is the Titan Giant Ape? It immediately realized that this was very likely a lie used by this human to mislead Sister Xiao Wu.
"I want to keep Sister Xiao Wu by my side this way, and then kill her and take her bones after I can absorb Sister Xiao Wu Soul Ring and Spirit Bone in the future!" Titan Giant Ape exclaimed excitedly. "Sister Xiao Wu! How can you trust a human so much? What if he is deliberately protecting you and deceiving you, just to keep you by his side, and then make his move after he can absorb your Soul Ring and Spirit Bone in the future?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu remained unmoved. She had already questioned Oscar about this before, but Oscar had directly told her that if she really coveted her Soul Ring and Spirit Bone, she would already be Gai Yue's Ninth Spirit Ring.
Oscar told Xiao Wu directly that his teacher, Gai Yue, was currently attempting to break through the level 90 bottleneck. If Oscar truly wanted to harm Xiao Wu, why would he waste time talking to her?
Xiao Wu also confirmed with other people at the Shrek Academy that Oscar's teacher was indeed trying to reach level 90, which was why she trusted Oscar so much and showed Oscar affection.
After all, a kind-hearted Senior Student who doesn't covet Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone will be the beginning of a change for both her and the future of the Soul Beast Realm.
In Xiao Wu's view, Oscar's future achievements will be unprecedented, and he is very likely to change the future of both humans and the Soul Beast Race.
So when she heard Titan Giant Ape's words, Xiao Wu smiled instead, "Er Ming, I understand your concerns, but I have already solved this problem. If my Senior Student really wanted to harm me, you wouldn't be seeing me now."
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, the Titan Giant Ape was still somewhat incredulous. After all, as Soul Beast, it had already stood at the top of the Soul Beast Realm and had seen too much bloodshed.
It just couldn't understand how a human wouldn't covet the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone that they'd picked up for free. Xiao Wu pointed to the sachet at her waist. "This sachet was given to me by Little San's Little San, but Little San didn't know its purpose. I didn't wear it several times when I first entered the academy, but after my Senior Student discovered my identity, he not only reminded me of its purpose but also helped me keep my identity a secret. He also seriously planned my cultivation path. He told me that if nothing unexpected happened in the future, he would continue to train me to become Titled Douluo and even help me break through to that realm."
Hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape looked at the rapidly approaching figure in white and found it hard to believe. Could there really be such a human in this world? Moreover, the Titan Giant Ape suddenly remembered that although it had held back before, its control over its power was absolutely flawless. The terrifying gravity it released on everyone in the Shrek Academy was just enough to temporarily incapacitate them.
How long has it been, and this human has already caught up? The Titan Giant Ape wouldn't think it was a mistake, so there's only one possibility: this human is much stronger than it appears.
So, this young Soul Master is not only talented and powerful, but also so compassionate and visionary...
The Titan Giant Ape couldn't imagine whether such a human Soul Master would become a nightmare or a blessing for their Soul Beast Race.
The Titan Giant Ape glanced at Xiao Wu, then at the approaching figure in white, and solemnly said, "Sister Xiao Wu, I believe in your choice. Take care."
After saying that, the Titan Giant Ape gently placed Xiao Wu on the ground, and its massive body disappeared from the spot in a few leaps.
Watching Er Ming leave, Xiao Wu felt a pang of sadness. A moment later, Oscar, her clone, saw Xiao Wu and quickly came to her side.
Seeing Oscar land in front of her, Xiao Wu didn't know what to say for a moment. She only heard Oscar say, "Are you alright?"
Xiao Wu shook her head. "Senior Student, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, Oscar stepped forward to check Xiao Wu's body and, finding that there was nothing wrong, also glanced around at the same time.
However, even with his current Spiritual Power, which is comparable to that of Soul Emperor, he could not detect any extra traces.
After all, the Titan Giant Ape is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If it wants to hide its tracks, I really can't track it down now.
However... he wouldn't let it go so easily. What if the Titan Giant Ape was hiding in the shadows and secretly observing again, just like before? In fact, Oscar's guess was correct; the Titan Giant Ape did not leave immediately.
Although it chose to trust Xiao Wu, it could only leave with peace of mind after it was absolutely certain that the other party would not harm Sister Xiao Wu.
Moreover, given its strength, it's definitely not something Oscar could discover if it were hiding in the shadows.
Oscar's strength is indeed formidable, but he is only close to the Spirit King level, and the gap between him and the Titan Giant Ape is still too great.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was alright and that there was no trace of the Titan Giant Ape, Oscar asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Wu, was that Titan Giant Ape your friend?"
Xiao Wu had no intention of hiding it from Oscar. After all, in her view, if she didn't confess and would be treated leniently, and if she resisted and would be punished severely, it could very likely create a rift between her and Oscar.
Besides, Oscar already knew her identity. By telling her Senior Student that she had a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast friend, just in case! Just in case, if her Senior Student had any bad intentions towards her in the future, he would think twice, right? Oscar was unaware of Xiao Wu's ridiculous idea. His silver eyes were fixed on Xiao Wu's eyes. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Wu replied, "Yes, Senior Student, its name is Er Ming. It's been my best friend since I was a child. It's like family to me."
As she spoke, Xiao Wu apologized, "I'm sorry, Senior Student. I also bear responsibility for what happened to Er Ming today. I didn't expect it to suddenly come looking for me. I..."
Seeing Xiao Wu's sincere apology, Oscar's serious expression softened, and he said calmly, "I understand. However, although you are not at fault in this matter, you also bear some responsibility."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu did not refute it. After all, Oscar was right, and she accepted the responsibility.
"Senior Student, I won't shirk responsibility. I can take charge of any problems you may have," Xiao Wu said.
Seeing Xiao Wu fidgeting with her hands, Oscar ignored her and said calmly, "No, since it was your friend's mistake that hurt the Dean and my sister, I think... it should give me an explanation."
