Xiao Wu: Ge, I'm Actually Not Human! (Request Monthly Ticket)

Hearing Lu Duzhou say that, Xiao Wu immediately said worriedly:

"Big Brother, if you aren't sure, you'd better not try it. You don't need to take such a risk for us."

"Even if we don't absorb Soul Rings beyond our limits, we can still defeat them."

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she had no need to hunt Soul Rings at all. She truly did not want Lu Duzhou to risk absorbing a Soul Ring beyond his level, since failure could cause his body to explode and kill him.

It was far too dangerous.

Tang San also said solemnly:

"Xiao Wu Jie is right, Big Brother. Although your physical condition has indeed improved, the pressure brought by a Soul Ring is still unknown."

Lu Duzhou shook his head firmly.

"I've already made up my mind about this. I won't change it."

"I'm doing this not only for you, but also for myself."

"My Innate Soul Power is only half a level. My foundation is weak. Only by absorbing Soul Rings beyond my limits and strengthening my foundation can I possibly reach higher levels."

"In the future, when you become Title Douluo, I want to stand beside you as well."

"Big Brother needs to become someone you can rely on, not a burden."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was moved once more and could not help throwing herself into Lu Duzhou's arms.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed.

Eleven-year-old Lu Duzhou's Soul Power successfully reached level twenty. He planned to depart for Sunset Forest tomorrow to obtain his Second Soul Ring.

Soul Hunting Forest could not meet his needs, because what he wanted to absorb was a Thousand Year Soul Ring.

That afternoon, Tang San went to the Blacksmith Shop to forge iron.

Xiao Wu called Lu Duzhou into her room.

She first pressed herself tightly against Lu Duzhou's chest, then gathered her courage and said:

"Ge! I want to tell you a secret."

"I... I'm actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Charming Rabbit that took human form."

"The Soul Ring condensation before wasn't because I disobeyed you. It was because the formation of Soul Skills cannot be completely controlled by me."

"Ge, now that you know my true identity, are you still willing to be my brother?"

She lifted her head and stared into Lu Duzhou's eyes.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast represented a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.

It was an enormous fortune, enough to make even a Title Douluo take action to seize it.

Yet Xiao Wu did not see the slightest greed in Lu Duzhou's eyes.

What she saw was shock, followed by concern.

Lu Duzhou held Xiao Wu tightly and asked in a deep voice:

"Second Sister, is it possible for someone to see through your true identity?"

Xiao Wu answered:

"Before I become a Soul Sage, someone with the cultivation of a Soul Douluo or Title Douluo might discover my true form if they observe me carefully."

Lu Duzhou said solemnly:

"If that's the case, then you can no longer attend a High-Rank Soul Master Academy. Most High-Rank Soul Master Academies have Soul Douluo."

"And you can't enter certain large cities either."

"You also can't go near Sunset Forest or Star Dou Great Forest again."

"There are powerful experts there as well."

"The three of us siblings are one. Since you cannot reveal your identity, our original plan to join a High-Rank Soul Master Academy has to change."

Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes.

"But, Ge, don't you reject me? I'm a Soul Beast."

Lu Duzhou reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Silly girl, to me, you are first my younger sister, and only then a Soul Beast."

"Ge! You're so good!"

Xiao Wu ambushed Lu Duzhou's cheek again.

"Ge, I'm a Soul Beast. I don't need to hunt Soul Rings, nor can I absorb Soul Rings beyond their age limit."

"Can you stop risking your life to absorb a Thousand-Year Second Ring?"

This was the true reason she had voluntarily revealed her identity. She really did not want Lu Duzhou to take such a risk.

Lu Duzhou gently kissed Xiao Wu on the forehead.

"I already made this very clear before. I'm doing this not only for you, but also for myself."

"If I don't try, I won't be satisfied."

"But don't worry. Dean Grandma, who is at the Soul Sage level, will accompany us. If there is any danger, she will shatter the Soul Ring immediately, and I won't be injured."

"If this succeeds, we can obtain the full support of Plant Academy's Dean Grandma."

"Then we can obtain more Whale Rubber, and Xiao San can use it to absorb a more powerful Third Soul Ring."

"Even if you cannot absorb Soul Rings, stronger physical qualities should allow you to condense higher-quality Soul Rings."

"Even if it cannot affect Soul Ring condensation, stronger physical qualities will still enhance your combat ability."

"Now that we cannot seek protection from a High-Rank Soul Master Academy, we must seize this opportunity and firmly bind Ailin, this Soul Sage, to our side."

"We need someone to rely on."

Xiao Wu was even more moved.

Lu Duzhou said he was also doing it for himself, but to Xiao Wu, the greater reason was still her and Xiao San.

Big Brother was truly far too good to them!

Lu Duzhou repeatedly reminded Xiao Wu to protect herself and not expose her identity.

Early the next morning, he headed to Plant Academy.

More than half a month later, Sunset Forest.

Facing Lu Duzhou was a giant python fifteen or sixteen meters long. Its entire body was earth-yellow and seemed to be covered in a layer of rock. It was a Rock Earth Python with a cultivation of around eleven hundred years.

Ailin stood some distance away and watched without intervening in the battle.

Lu Duzhou had already released his Martial Soul.

Within One Third of an Acre of Land, Green Vine instantly grew wildly for dozens of meters. In midair, a fifteen-meter-long Vine Dragon formed from vines bared its fangs and claws.

As a python, the Rock Earth Python naturally feared dragon-type creatures.

Not to mention that the Vine Dragon was now covered in a layer of Red Flame Thorns.

This made the Rock Earth Python feel immense pressure.

It instinctively tried to flee.

But it was already too late.

A black gleam shot from Lu Duzhou's eyes and landed on the Rock Earth Python. Its mind was wounded, and its body stiffened.

At the same time, the Vine Dragon pinned the earth python to the ground. Sharp Sword Essence gleamed coldly from the dragon claws formed of vines.

Under that immense force, the Thousand-Year Soul Beast was torn into two without the slightest ability to resist.

The next moment, the dragon claw burst the earth python's head through the wound.

The entire killing process was completed in one fluid motion, without the slightest delay.

"Good!"

Ailin praised him.

"Xiao Zhou, your Martial Soul truly has tremendous potential."

"So you can also use planted Martial Souls to release Soul Skills."

"Although each Martial Soul can only obtain one Soul Skill, even so, the number of Soul Skills you can command is several times, or even more than ten times, that of other Soul Masters."

"If anyone treats you as merely a Support Soul Master in the future, they'll really be in trouble!"

Could she be talking about me? No way. I'm Master.

Ailin paused, then looked at the purple Soul Ring floating upward and asked seriously:

"Xiao Zhou, if any danger arises next, I will stop you immediately. When that happens, do not resist, or you will be injured."

Lu Duzhou nodded, then directly sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Just as he calmed his mind and began absorbing the Soul Ring, two figures, one old and one young, appeared nearby.
