Xiao Wu Was Taken Away

Clear Sky Sect.

The appearance of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape, and the terrifying strength it displayed greatly shocked the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

The two brothers were not Title Douluo now, merely Soul Elders in their thirties.

It would be at least another decade before they left the Clear Sky Sect to train across the Douluo Continent.

At their current stage, the strongest Soul Beasts they could encounter were only Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts existed only in their imaginations.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are truly terrifying!" Tang Xiao exclaimed. "With just a casual strike, it made a powerful Soul Saint cough up blood. If it got serious, wouldn't Zhao Wuji lose his life?"

Zhao Wuji: Yeah, I fought a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and nearly lost my life.

"Only a Title Douluo can contend with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast." Tang Hao stared at the Titan Giant Ape rampaging across the Sky Screen, his eyes gleaming as he said enviously, "It would be great if I had a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring too..."

Tang Xiao recalled the future scenes of Tang Hao that had played on the Sky Screen and complained speechlessly, "Hao, stop daydreaming. After the Sky Screen appeared, you'll never have another chance to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring."

"Big Brother, don't underestimate me. Once I cultivate to level ninety and become a Title Douluo, I'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest and challenge the Titan Giant Ape!" Tang Hao said.

He also knew that he could not fool a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, as the Sky Screen had shown.

But in the future, he had inherited the title of "Clear Sky Douluo," which meant he would become powerful enough.

Even without receiving the sacrifice of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, he could hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast through his own true abilities.

Tang Hao was still young and did not understand how terrifying Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were.

He simply believed that once he reached level ninety, he would be able to defeat a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, perhaps even kill one and turn it into his ninth Spirit Ring.

In truth, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were immensely powerful. A newly advanced Title Douluo at level ninety was absolutely no match for one.

Unless it was one of the relatively weak Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts...

Zhao Wuji was sent coughing up blood by a casual strike from the Titan Giant Ape.

But he did not give up. Forcing himself to stand, he continued fighting the Titan Giant Ape to create an opportunity for Shrek's students to escape.

Dai Mubai and the others did try to flee, but they failed to get away and were blocked by the Titan Giant Ape.

Left with no alternative, they could only use every means at their disposal against the Titan Giant Ape.

These students, the strongest of whom were only Soul Elders and none of whom had even reached Soul Ancestor, could only scratch the Titan Giant Ape with their strongest attacks. They could not even break its defense.

Tang San was forced to use hidden weapons, yet he still could do nothing to the Titan Giant Ape.

The Titan Giant Ape grew tired of fighting these little bugs. It grabbed Xiao Wu and then left.

Tang San watched helplessly as Xiao Wu was taken away, but the battle had been too intense, and his Soul Power was completely depleted. He fainted at once.

The others were not in much better condition.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar, the two Support System Soul Masters, had nearly been killed by the Titan Giant Ape.

One had fainted and was fortunate enough to avoid injury, while the other was hurt by the aftermath of the battle. However, it was only a superficial wound that looked frightening but was not serious.

Zhu Zhuqing had exhausted her Soul Power as well and fainted, just like Tang San.

Dai Mubai remained conscious.

Ma Hongjun was rather lucky and was conscious as well.

Zhao Wuji looked the most miserable, since he had been the main force resisting the Titan Giant Ape.

His injuries were severe, and he had lost more than half his combat strength.

If they encountered another powerful Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he might not even be able to defeat it.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"The Titan Giant Ape, the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, truly is terrifying!"

Ning Fengzhi was astonished that the Titan Giant Ape had come to the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest, merely seized a Soul Grandmaster, and killed none of the Soul Masters. Such behavior was exceedingly strange.

It was as though the Titan Giant Ape had come specifically to take away the Soul Master named Xiao Wu.

Although the Soul Master named Xiao Wu was rather pretty, Ning Fengzhi had never heard any rumors of the Titan Giant Ape capturing human female Soul Masters.

Even if the Titan Giant Ape wanted to capture female Soul Masters, why had it taken only Xiao Wu?

His daughter Ning Rongrong on the Sky Screen, as well as Zhu Zhuqing, the daughter of the Zhu Clan from the Star Luo Empire, were also female Soul Masters. Why had the Titan Giant Ape not taken them?

Ning Fengzhi was now full of confusion.

He could not find anyone to discuss it with, so he could only keep it to himself.

"The Sky Screen should show why Xiao Wu was taken away by the Titan Giant Ape next..."

That was all Ning Fengzhi could think.

Zhao Wuji struggled to his feet and went to check on the Shrek students he had brought with him.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were in better condition and took the initiative to help Zhao Wuji.

Dai Mubai picked up the unconscious Zhu Zhuqing.

When Ma Hongjun saw the unconscious Ning Rongrong, he wanted to go over and help, but Oscar beat him to it.

He could only give Oscar the middle finger before going to help the unconscious Tang San.

When Ma Hongjun helped Tang San up, Tang San woke. His first reaction was to look for Xiao Wu.

After searching among everyone present and failing to find Xiao Wu, he suddenly remembered that she had been taken away by the Titan Giant Ape.

At that moment, Tang San recalled the promise he had once made to Xiao Wu—he would not let anyone hurt her.

Now that Xiao Wu had been taken away by the Titan Giant Ape, with her fate unknown, how could he possibly remain here without doing anything?

Tang San made up his mind. He asked Oscar for a sausage created by his third Spirit Ability, swallowed it in one bite, grew wings from his back, and flew in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had gone.

The Titan Giant Ape was much faster than the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent in flight.

Moreover, Oscar's sausage could only provide one minute of flight time.

When that minute passed, Tang San landed on the ground.

The surroundings were utterly silent, without even a single Soul Beast in sight. They had likely been frightened away by the passing Titan Giant Ape.

Tang San searched for the traces left behind by the Titan Giant Ape, then followed them deeper and deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile.

After seizing Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape left. Once it had moved beyond the sight of Shrek and the others, it placed Xiao Wu on its shoulder.

Such an intimate gesture showed that the human and Soul Beast shared no shallow relationship.

"Er Ming, you shouldn't have come looking for me." Sitting on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder, Xiao Wu spoke in a soft, distant voice.

She had never expected the Titan Giant Ape to sense that she had entered the Star Dou Great Forest and rush over to find her.

To keep the Titan Giant Ape from hurting her friends, she had no choice but to step forward and let it capture her.

It would just make her Third Brother worry.
