Silver Wolf?

Star Dou Great Forest.

Bai Mo walked alone along a small path, his spiritual power, nearing that of a level 70 Soul Saint, swirling around him without restraint.

"Ha! Are you certain there's actually a million-year Soul Beast here that we can easily snatch away?"

A voice suddenly echoed in the depths of Bai Mo's mind.

"More or less. I just don't know if he has managed to break free during this period of time."

Bai Mo thought to himself.

"Tsk tsk, high-dimensional observation methods again!"

The voice, filled with a mix of haughtiness and a sense of entitlement, continued.

"I'm not entirely sure. Someone's timeline is riddled with bugs; let's just treat this as a trial run. If it's not there, it's no great loss!"

Bai Mo strolled leisurely through the Star Dou Great Forest, intending to lure out a certain giant worm. If it were sensible, that would be fine; if not, he would simply have to capture it to use as a battery.

"Bai Mo, there is a high-heat energy source 1794 meters to your front left. It's roughly at the level 98 of this world?"

Bai Mo's eyes lit up at these words. Ignoring the telepathic link with Little Black Tower, he accelerated toward the destination provided by her.

Sure enough, as Bai Mo closed the distance, he saw a burly, white-haired old man in greasy, tattered clothes roasting Soul Beast meat.

"Ho, Senior has quite the refined taste, actually eating roast meat alone in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Heh, you little monster have decent spiritual power, to have sensed me from nearly a thousand meters away."

Xuan Zi glanced at the arriving Bai Mo and spoke in an aged, authoritative tone.

"Any interest in joining our Shrek Academy? With your aptitude, you have a high chance of becoming an Inner Court disciple in the future."

"I am very interested, but my teacher is currently accompanying my junior sister as she absorbs a soul ring. I only ran over here out of curiosity; to avoid worrying my teacher, I had better head back first. Let's chat next time, Senior!"

"Very well, go on then, little monster!"

Watching Bai Mo depart, Xuan Zi smacked his lips and wiped the residue from his mouth with a grease-stained hand.

"A fine seedling! Truly a fine seedling. Perhaps I could even form a friendship across generations, just like Poison Douluo and the ancestor Tang San; that would be a fine tale for the future!"

The departing Bai Mo excitedly asked Little Black Tower to scan the surrounding soul power fluctuations.

"Tsk tsk, so young and already so deceitful! Men!"

"How is it, Ms. Little Black Tower? Did you detect any hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts nearby?"

"None. Perhaps they are too far away. By the way, are you giving up on that million-thousand-year Soul Beast?"

"Ms. Black Tower, I may not think much of the current Shrek Academy, but I still intend to pay it a visit in the future!"

Bai Mo released his spiritual power to search for traces in the surroundings, not directly answering Little Black Tower's question.

The timeline of the original work was extremely chaotic; many important events could only be locked down to an approximate timeframe.

If Bai Mo's calculations were correct, this should be the catalyst for Zhang Lexuan, the Inner Court's eldest senior sister, to obtain her eighth soul ring, and the moment that forced her to kneel and beg to prevent a certain Holy Spirit Cult Supreme Elder from resigning in disgrace.

"What do you mean?"

"The resources of Shrek Academy are too tempting! The God-Bestowed Martial Soul, the Daughter of the Gods, and the Golden Tree—wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't go and copy their homework?"

"And what does that have to do with you finding a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast?"

"If nothing goes wrong, the moon on my Emperor Scepter could use an update! Unlike now, where it's basically just a texture map!"

"That can't be helped. My database does not contain such low-level data as stars and satellites."

While conversing mentally and searching, Bai Mo's eyes suddenly brightened. He sensed a small team passing through in this direction.

"Speaking of which, Shrek Academy is really something. They let their Inner Court students go out to fight Evil Soul Masters without even teaching them the necessary precautions beforehand. What's even more absurd is that they don't even bother to erase their tracks in the wild. They've truly been sitting on high for too long, thinking they can afford to ignore everything!"

Bai Mo followed the tracks, not forgetting to complain to Little Black Tower about Shrek Academy's baffling operations.

"Sure enough, they are up ahead. I've found that hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast you mentioned, along with seven other soul power fluctuations. Two of them already seem very weak."

"No more waiting!"

Bai Mo directly opened his storage Soul Tool and pulled out the physical body of Little Black Tower.

"You go save them first. Since we've caught up, we might as well save as many as we can!"

"Useless kindness, but... quite cute!"

Having regained control of her body, Little Black Tower offered a critique before pulling out her Black Amethyst Hammer and flying toward the battlefield ahead.

Indeed, the setting of Douluo Continent dictated that one could only fly freely at level 90, but what did the settings of Douluo Continent have to do with Ms. Black Tower!

"Senior Sister, don't worry about us! Run!"

The girl being supported by Zhang Lexuan cried out, her body trembling—whether from excessive blood loss or the terror of death, it was unclear.

Zhang Lexuan did not respond; she needed to conserve every bit of her strength to hold on until...

"Why! Why! Everyone is going to die, Xuan Zi, where are you now!"

The Silver Moon Profound Wolf's blood-red pupils scanned the few remaining survivors, finally letting its mocking gaze settle on Zhang Lexuan, who was still struggling to flee.

Feeling the gaze like needles pricking her back, Zhang Lexuan gritted her teeth and remained silent. Her junior sisters still needed her; she could not give up!

A silver moon flew toward them, and Zhang Lexuan adjusted her position, intending to shield her junior sister from the attack.

However, the junior sister Zhang Lexuan was supporting found strength from somewhere unknown and shoved her away.

"Senior Sister, run! Help me ask..."

Before she could finish, the silver light flew into the junior sister's...

Onto a hammer!

A hammer? Zhang Lexuan stared in bewilderment at the girl holding the hammer who had kicked her junior sister aside.

She wore a set of purple-black soul-guided battle armor (or so she thought), with matching low-heeled boots on her feet, though the black beret on her head looked rather out of place.

Her delicate face bore an indifferent expression, as if nothing in the world mattered.

This set of Ever-Frost Battle Armor was crafted from materials Bai Mo had obtained through gacha, primarily from the Everwinter Shadewalker monsters on Jarilo; these materials had been fashioned by Lady Little Black Tower into a suit of armor similar to battle armor that she herself could use.

"What are you looking at?"

"S-sorry, I apologize, Senior. Please, Senior, save my junior brothers and sisters!" Zhang Lexuan snapped back to reality and immediately knelt on the hammer that Black Tower had tossed aside.

"Spare me. My apprentice is feeling generous, but I, as her master, have no interest in your kneeling."

Black Tower turned her head to look at the Silver Moon Profound Wolf, which dared not move due to its wariness.

"What a pathetic Soul Beast. It's practically a Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm; no wonder it's just a silver wolf," Black Tower remarked, looking at the Silver Moon Profound Wolf with disdain.

"Awoo!" (Human, this matter has nothing to do with you.)

"Don't make me laugh. I do as I please. Since you're at least the first Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast I've encountered, I'll be sure to study you thoroughly!"

"Awoo!" (Human, if I retreat, can we call a truce?)

The Silver Moon Profound Wolf could not discern this person's level, and combined with her boundless arrogance, the wolf felt quite uneasy.

"Black Tower, why are you wasting breath on it? Talking about surrendering at this moment—you must be joking! Activate all the blessings on the Ever-Frost Battle Armor I gave you!"

Bai Mo, panting for breath, arrived fashionably late.

"Such a massive diamond! This is for you!" Black Tower leaped into the air.

Frigid air permeated the hammer, gradually forming a massive, ice-blue, diamond-shaped hammerhead, which then slammed fiercely down toward the Silver Moon Profound Wolf.

The Silver Moon Profound Wolf's fur stood on end, and with a howl, it condensed a lunar blade.

But having played for so long and forced to receive the blow in such a rush, the wolf naturally failed to block the hammer and was smashed directly into the ground.

"Job done, let's pack up!"

Seeing that there was no more movement, Bai Mo stepped forward and collected the soul of the Silver Moon Profound Wolf.
