Am I a Soul Beast?

Huo Yuhao estimated their location. They were still in the outer region and had not even reached the mixed zone.

He could not help asking, "Brother Sky Dream, can we receive your energy and Molted Shell here?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said speechlessly, "Yuhao, don't think too highly of me. I can't teleport over long distances. This is still at least a hundred kilometers from the core region. My body simply can't make it over here."

After a pause, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued, "My body is currently hiding somewhere. The moment it makes any move, Di Tian and the others will definitely notice. We have to succeed in one attempt, or Di Tian will track us down."

Huo Yuhao could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

In his previous life, he had only defeated Di Tian after cultivating to Rank 99 and becoming a Limit Douluo, possessing three Soul Cores and all sorts of additional methods. Di Tian's strength had left a deep impression on Huo Yuhao.

The current Huo Yuhao would probably be killed by a single breath from Di Tian.

Before becoming a Super Douluo, Huo Yuhao had no desire whatsoever to encounter Di Tian.

Huo Yuhao nodded and found a dense patch of grass with Xiao Wu to hide in.

After the two had concealed themselves, Xiao Wu suddenly asked, "Right, Yuhao, how did you know I could take you into the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then said what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had taught him. "Because I know you're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Xiao Wu looked astonished. "You knew? When did you find out?"

Huo Yuhao had been watching Xiao Wu's expression closely. Although she was surprised, she showed no vigilance or wariness, which puzzled him. Still, he said, "I realized it the moment I saw you."

Could Xiao Wu really be this foolish? She knows I know she's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet she doesn't care at all?

Isn't she afraid I'll turn her into a Soul Ring?

Huo Yuhao was utterly baffled.

Xiao Wu chuckled. "Then you're more impressive. I only found out recently that you're a Soul Beast."

Huo Yuhao: "???"

Huo Yuhao pointed at himself and asked in disbelief, "I... I'm a Soul Beast?"

Even I didn't know that!

Xiao Wu grinned. "Yuhao, stop trying to hide it from me. I saw it all!"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

What did you see?

Huo Yuhao was completely confused. He truly had no idea what Xiao Wu had seen that made her think he was also a Soul Beast.

"Hey, Brother Sky Dream, calling Brother Sky Dream. Do you know what Xiao Wu saw?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suppressed his laughter and shook his head. "No idea. I know nothing..."

"You definitely know!" The instant Huo Yuhao heard Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tone, he knew that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm definitely knew.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep."

With that, he went silent.

"..." Huo Yuhao was speechless.

Still, Xiao Wu thinking Huo Yuhao was a "Soul Beast" was, overall, a good thing. At the very least, she would not refuse to help him.

The two waited for half a day before an unrestrained, powerful aura came from the distance.

Huo Yuhao immediately tensed. Just as he was about to signal Xiao Wu to keep quiet, Xiao Wu suddenly leaped out of the grass and shouted happily, "Er Ming! I'm here!"

Hearing that, Huo Yuhao's taut heart relaxed as well.

He stood up and looked toward the figure radiating that powerful aura.

It was a Soul Beast that resembled both an ape and a chimpanzee. Its body was incomparably robust, its bulging muscles terrifying, like a mountain. If it stood upright, it would likely exceed fifteen meters in height. Even on all fours, its shoulders stood well over seven meters high.

Huo Yuhao recognized the Soul Beast at a glance. It was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape.

Yet this terrifying Soul Beast spoke in an honest, simple voice. "Sister Xiao Wu, you're back."

Xiao Wu skipped over to the Titan Giant Ape, then beckoned to Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, come over."

At the sight of Huo Yuhao, a chill immediately flashed through the Titan Giant Ape's pair of lantern-sized eyes. It said in a deep voice, "Sister Xiao Wu, this human knows you're a Soul Beast. Let me kill him!"

Xiao Wu kicked the Titan Giant Ape and said irritably, "Who said he's human? He's the same as me, a Soul Beast too."

"This human is also a Soul Beast?" A trace of confusion clearly appeared in the Titan Giant Ape's bronze-colored eyes. "But why can't I sense any Soul Beast aura from him?"

After a pause, the Titan Giant Ape asked, "Kid, what Soul Beast did you transform from?"

Xiao Wu kicked the Titan Giant Ape again. "Er Ming, stop asking him. Maybe he wasn't transformed from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. His first Soul Ring is only ten years old... It's not easy to encounter one of our kind in the human world. Don't discriminate against him, or I'll get mad at you!"

The Titan Giant Ape scratched his head. "All right, I won't ask. Sister Xiao Wu, what did you come back for this time?"

Xiao Wu said, "Er Ming, take us to the core region. Yuhao needs to go there."

"Okay." The Titan Giant Ape waved at Huo Yuhao and said, "Kid, come over too. Sit on my back with Sister Xiao Wu. It'll be faster that way."

Seeing Xiao Wu smooth things over for him in just a few words, Huo Yuhao was immediately relieved. He walked over to the Titan Giant Ape and climbed up.

Xiao Wu and Huo Yuhao each sat on one of its shoulders. The Titan Giant Ape let out a low roar. "Hold on tight."

With that, the Titan Giant Ape began sprinting through the Star Dou Great Forest.

Its mountain-like massive body made not the slightest sound as it ran, leaving Huo Yuhao clicking his tongue in amazement.

Upon reaching the core region, the Titan Giant Ape slowed its pace and continued forward under Huo Yuhao's guidance.

When they reached the edge of a clearing, Huo Yuhao suddenly said, "Stop!"

The Titan Giant Ape immediately halted.

Huo Yuhao licked his lips, his expression full of excitement. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's exhilarated voice rang out in his mind. "This is the place! Yuhao, get ready to receive my energy!"

The moment his voice fell, a huge fissure suddenly split open in the ground!

"Damn!"

The Titan Giant Ape jumped in fright and hurriedly leaped backward. "What the hell is that?"

Huo Yuhao jumped down from the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder and faced the crack in the ground, as though waiting for something.

"Hahaha... I can finally come out from underground!"

The crack gradually widened. Faint golden-white light could vaguely be seen spilling from it, while threads of icy aura spread from within.

The fissure grew larger and larger, soon reaching more than five meters in diameter.

Suddenly, a round head emerged, followed by a chubby body crawling out.

Only after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's entire body had crawled out did Huo Yuhao realize that the current Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was far larger than in his previous life. Its body length actually exceeded twenty meters!

Its entire body was the color of white jade, crystal-clear and without a trace of filth. Light flowed beneath its surface, and its head bore a pair of tiny eyes gleaming with golden light.

From its head to the tip of its tail, ten golden stripes were evenly distributed across its body, looking exceedingly strange.

The moment Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's true body appeared, several incomparably powerful auras suddenly erupted dozens of kilometers away and rapidly rushed in this direction!

As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm flew toward Huo Yuhao, he anxiously said, "Yuhao, run! Di Tian and the others are coming after us!"
