Xiao Wu Appears

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.

The uproar Qin He had caused in the Soul Hunting Forest seemed to be gradually fading with the passage of time.

Yet the undercurrents hidden beneath the darkness had never ceased.

Meanwhile, Qin He, at the center of the storm, remained remarkably calm.

He ate when he should eat, drank when he should drink, slept when he should sleep, living an exceedingly comfortable life.

After all, he had already reached Level 30. Given the strength he had displayed, there were basically no teachers at Notting Academy capable of teaching Qin He anymore.

In other words, while Qin He was still nominally enrolled at Notting Academy, he was effectively already a graduate!

Of course, Qin He had no intention of graduating so early.

Though Nuo Ding City was small, life here was comfortable!

If he went to a major city, then with Qin He's reputation, he would probably face endless social obligations again. That would be far too exhausting!

And recently, quite a few little girls had appeared around Qin He. They were all adorable and beautiful, with looks that rated at least an eight out of ten.

Even Xiao Chenyu and the others were often surrounded by little girls, truly caught up in the troubles of happiness!

"Ah, being too outstanding comes with this kind of trouble!"

Qin He narrowed his eyes, looking utterly unconcerned.

Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, aren't your attempts to win me, Qin He, over a little too crude?

I'm only six years old—no, I just had my birthday, so I'm only seven. Even if I wanted to do anything, I couldn't!

Besides, I, Qin He, am a Level 1000 powerhouse. Ordinary girls may be delicate and pleasing to the eye, but they can't handle it!

Once Qin He grows up, if his other half isn't a God, then there's simply no way they can be together.

"Boss Qin He!"

Just as he was lost in thought, Xiao Chenyu burst in through the entrance of Dormitory Six in a rush.

"Boss, have you heard? A very beautiful transfer student recently came to Notting Academy!"

Xiao Chenyu's flushed and excited expression made Qin He curl his lips disdainfully.

"Notting Academy has had quite a few transfer students recently, and they've all been girls. Aren't you used to it yet?"

Qin He shook his head, speechless.

Xiao Chenyu chuckled, but shook his head. "Boss Qin He, this transfer student is different from the previous ones!"

"This girl is something else. She may be young, but she has a great figure. And just one week after transferring to Notting Academy, she already did something huge!"

Xiao Chenyu introduced her animatedly.

"Other than Dormitory Six, she challenged every upper-year student at Notting Academy all by herself—and beat every one of them!"

"And she demanded that every student who lost to her call her Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Now she's setting her sights on Dormitory Six, on our boss!"

"She even specifically challenged Boss Qin He by name. Turns out our Boss Qin He's reputation is that impressive..."

As Xiao Chenyu continued his introduction, especially when Qin He heard the other party's name, his face darkened, and the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly!

"Xiao Wu? Why did she come here too? Didn't I tell her to stay in the forest and not run around?"

Qin He muttered indistinctly.

Seeing the complicated expression on Boss Qin He's face, Xiao Chenyu suddenly understood. "So Boss knows Sister Xiao Wu! Could she be another sister-in-law?"

At that thought, Xiao Chenyu's face filled with admiration. He practically wanted to fall to his knees and worship Qin He. "Boss Qin He, please teach me the art of picking up girls! Although my martial soul is a Lone Wolf, I really don't want to be a single dog!"

Qin He: "..."

Did Qin He know Xiao Wu?

Of course he did.

Ever since Qin He had transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent, the plot had inevitably undergone enormous changes.

Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who lived in the Heaven Dou Great Forest.

How had Qin He met her?

Probably because not long ago, while he had nothing better to do, he went to the Heaven Dou Great Forest to stretch his limbs. By accident, he punched a massive pit into the forest and incidentally affected several Titled Douluo!

Those Titled Douluo were experts dispatched by Spirit Hall specifically to capture Xiao Wu, the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and obtain her soul ring and soul bone.

However, their timing was unfortunate. Qin He blew them apart with a single punch, and now not even their ashes could be found.

This matter was extremely secretive, and Qin He had kept it hidden. Even Spirit Hall was still completely baffled, with no idea how those unfortunate Titled Douluo had disappeared. They were probably still searching everywhere for them.

It was precisely because of this that Qin He had some connection with Xiao Wu, as well as the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts of the Heaven Dou Great Forest.

"I need to go take a look!"

A trace of concern flashed across Qin He's face.

Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Legend had it that hundred-thousand-year soul beasts possessed strength comparable to a Limit Douluo.

However, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts had two paths of evolution. One was to remain untransformed and retain their original strength. In that case, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast could live for another thousand years.

The other was to take human form and blend into human society to cultivate. In that case, once a soul beast cultivated to Level 100 like a human, it could also become an existence akin to a God.

But the second path was exceedingly difficult. Although soul beasts did not need to obtain soul rings to advance like humans did, meaning they had no cultivation bottlenecks, their aura could easily be detected by Soul Douluo-level experts.

After taking human form, a soul beast's strength would obviously be greatly reduced.

And in order to obtain soul beasts, especially the soul rings of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, humans would stop at nothing.

In the original story, Xiao Wu chose the second path of taking human form and came to Notting Academy very early on. She was assigned to Dorm Seven and lived with Tang San, later even becoming Tang San's wife.

However, being with Tang San had always been extremely dangerous.

Later on, Xiao Wu sacrificed herself and became one of Tang San's soul rings. Da Ming and Er Ming, Xiao Wu's friends who had lived with her in the Heaven Dou Great Forest for a hundred thousand years, also became Tang San's soul rings.

Tang San became a God later on, and Xiao Wu was indeed resurrected. But by then, Xiao Wu had become the sheath for Tang San's Asura God sword. In Qin He's view, that was akin to being an accessory. Qin He did not think that ending was perfect.

Moreover, Qin He always felt that resurrection was unreliable. Would the revived Xiao Wu still be the original Xiao Wu, or merely an inflatable doll with the original Xiao Wu's memories?

With Qin He's strength, Xiao Wu definitely would not have to die once, come back to life, and then become some sword sheath. Wouldn't that mean she had been schemed against as a tool by the Gods of Douluo Continent?

Of course, Xiao Wu being able to come back to life was already considered fortunate. The most pitiful ones were Xiao Wu's soul beast friends, Da Ming and Er Ming. Being ugly meant they had no rights; once they died, they simply died. Tang San probably did not even remember those two.

Since he had transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent, if he could avoid tragedies and change the plot, Qin He still hoped to change it as much as possible.
