Picked Up from the Star Dou Great Forest

Dai Yueheng spoke.

His entire person had already walked in front of Lu Heqiu.

His massive frame blocked most of the light in front of Lu Heqiu. The infant Lu Heqiu frowned, his eyes not yet open, only his eyebrows twitched.

Dai Yueheng reached out and pinched his face, then reached for the small hand.

As soon as he reached out, Dai Yueheng was heavily slapped by Ma Xiaotao.

"What are you doing!"

"He's so small, do you really want to test how strong he is?"

Ma Xiaotao slapped Dai Yueheng's hand away, but Dai Yueheng showed no concern on his face, still explaining in a calm tone.

"I didn't use my Martial Soul."

"Just seeing how much strength this little guy has."

Saying that.

Dai Yueheng ignored Ma Xiaotao's displeased expression and reached for Lu Heqiu again. The two hands, one large and one small, touched. The thick tiger's mouth was held by the tender white little hand. Before Dai Yueheng could exert force.

The little hand simply squeezed, causing Dai Yueheng's expression to change drastically!

"Fierce Beast!?"

Dai Yueheng instinctively released his Martial Soul. His heterochromatic eyes were filled with bloodlust, and the immense pressure made those around him frown. Yan Shaozhe stood there and reprimanded, "Yueheng!"

"Stop!"

Dai Yueheng's eyes gradually cleared. Only then did he clearly see that the person in Ma Xiaotao's arms was not some Fierce Beast, but still the infant who was over half a year old, still lying in his swaddling clothes. There was no trace of a Soul Beast's aura on him, and he occasionally let out faint snores, seemingly sleeping soundly.

Dai Yueheng retracted his Martial Soul and glanced at the red mark on his tiger's mouth. If he hadn't reacted extremely quickly, he would have likely had the bones near his tiger's mouth crushed by that single squeeze.

"Dean Yan, is this a Fierce Beast reincarnation?!"

Dai Yueheng extended his hand towards Yan Shaozhe. Yan Shaozhe glanced sideways, his eyes extremely complex. He could see the red mark on Dai Yueheng's hand. The red mark was very small, as if it had been pinched by iron tongs.

Although it wasn't an injury, it was enough to shock people.

Even without releasing his Martial Soul, Dai Yueheng was still a Soul Emperor. How could his physical strength be comparable to a Soul Master below the third ring? Moreover, this child hadn't even awakened his Martial Soul yet, yet he had crushed Dai Yueheng with just his physical strength!

What was this child's background?!

"Serves you right!"

"I told you not to bully him. He's just a child, why are you competing with him?"

Ma Xiaotao saw Dai Yueheng embarrassed, and a hint of smugness flashed in her beautiful eyes. She hugged Lu Heqiu tighter.

Lu Heqiu, who was asleep, accepted this food without refusal. The little hand that had just pinched Dai Yueheng's tiger's mouth moved upwards, but with controlled force, as if it were just resting there.

Ma Xiaotao's delicate body trembled, and she quickly turned, placing his hand back.

Lu Heqiu in the swaddling clothes didn't want to be moved away and placed his hand back. The two of them, one taking it away and the other putting it back, repeated this tirelessly, making it impossible for Ma Xiaotao to turn around.

"Alright, stop messing around."

"This child is indeed a bit unusual. I'll ask Elder Xuan to take a look tomorrow. Xiaotao, you'll take care of this child temporarily tonight. We'll figure out a solution later."

Yan Shaozhe spoke slowly.

This child was definitely not simple.

But currently, he was only willing to interact with Ma Xiaotao. Others couldn't touch him. Ma Xiaotao was indeed the most suitable person to take care of the child. Besides...

Yan Shaozhe glanced at Ma Xiaotao.

It seemed this little guy wouldn't hurt Xiaotao. If a Soul King were accompanying him, this little guy might have directly killed them in his sleep!

Even Dai Yueheng, who was prepared, was pinched so hard that it hurt. This little guy was simply born for Shrek Academy. What else could he be if not a monster? He was already this terrifying without even awakening his Martial Soul.

Who knew how terrifying he would be in the future.

Ma Xiaotao nodded gently upon hearing this.

Her face flushed. She finally managed to place Lu Heqiu's hand properly. Hearing Yan Shaozhe's words made her even more embarrassed. If she slept with Lu Heqiu tonight, she didn't know what little tricks this little guy would pull in his sleep!

"I'll go to the Beast Fighting Arena to find some food for this little guy!"

Ma Xiaotao soared into the air and flew towards the Beast Fighting Arena. Although her cultivation was only at the Soul Emperor level, Ma Xiaotao could use her Martial Soul to glide briefly in the air.

While she couldn't compare to the flight of a Soul Saint, she was still faster than an ordinary Soul Emperor.

Yan Shaozhe didn't say anything more. He simply waved his hand at Ling Luochen and Dai Yueheng in front of him, signaling that they could leave.

The red mark on Dai Yueheng's tiger's mouth had already faded. He looked at the departing Ma Xiaotao without saying anything, but his heart was even more curious about Lu Heqiu's origins. How could a human possess such terrifying strength?

However, if he were truly a Fierce Beast reincarnated, Yan Shaozhe should have been able to tell at a glance. After all, that little guy couldn't hide from a Super Douluo.

"Xiaotao? What a rare visitor."

"Is there something you need from this old man?"

"It's not easy to find a Soul Beast in this Beast Fighting Arena that can fight you a few rounds. Don't come and harm my treasures."

The Beast King Gong Changlong, who presided over the Beast Fighting Arena, casually tossed out a few pieces of raw meat. His gaze, flicking towards Ma Xiaotao, asked with curiosity.

Although there were indeed many high-level Soul Beasts in the Beast Fighting Arena, they weren't prepared for students like Ma Xiaotao. Instead, they were meant for the inner or outer court prodigies to spar with.

Ma Xiaotao came...

For a moment, he truly couldn't find a suitable Soul Beast for Ma Xiaotao to spar with.

"Elder Gong, you misunderstand."

"I've come to ask you for some Soul Beast... milk."

Ma Xiaotao spoke with a hint of embarrassment, revealing Lu Heqiu in her arms to Gong Changlong. Though unspoken, the purpose of beast milk was obvious: it was for the infant she held.

Gong Changlong then noticed the baby in Ma Xiaotao's arms, realizing she wasn't here to spar with Soul Beasts.

"Where did he come from?"

"Yours?"

"While the academy doesn't forbid students from having children, you young people should pace yourselves. Doesn't taking care of a child affect your cultivation time?"

Gong Changlong gently pinched Lu Heqiu's face. The smooth, tender skin instantly disarmed the Titled Douluo. He did indeed like children, especially at this age.

But his words made Ma Xiaotao anxious, and she quickly explained.

"Elder Gong!"

"What are you talking about! How could this possibly be my child!"

"Elder Cai and I found him in the Star Dou Great Forest when we were leading a team. Otherwise..."

Ma Xiaotao muttered to herself, otherwise she could have fed him herself, right? Why would she need to come to the Beast Fighting Arena to ask Gong Changlong for beast milk?

Gong Changlong, however, caught the most crucial piece of information from Ma Xiaotao's words.

"Found him in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
