Hunting Xiao Wu

On Shrek Academy's side, everyone who knew Xiao Wu turned to look at her in unison.

Xiao Wu's sacrifice.

She died because of Tang San.

They simply couldn't understand what those four plain words truly meant.

Tang San looked as though he'd been struck by lightning. It was as if an invisible hand had gripped his heart tightly, hurting so badly that he could barely breathe.

He looked at Xiao Wu beside him, whose face had gone pale. Tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and even his voice shook violently.

He stepped forward quickly, grabbed Xiao Wu's hand tightly, and said word by word with unwavering determination:

"Xiao Wu, you... you'll definitely be okay!"

"What it says up there must be false!"

"From now on, I absolutely won't let you suffer any harm, much less lose you!"

"I promised you that if anyone wanted to hurt you, capture you, or kill you, they'd have to step over my corpse first!"

"I absolutely won't... won't let you die before me!"

Xiao Wu's heart was instantly enveloped by a warm current.

Scalding tears slid uncontrollably from her eyes and down her cheeks.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she understood better than anyone what "sacrifice" meant.

She would actually sacrifice herself for Tang San in the future.

That was enough to prove that she hadn't misjudged Tang San!

Those who understood the meaning of sacrifice, however, immediately had their eyes light up.

They all looked at Xiao Wu standing beside Tang San, naked greed bursting from their eyes.

This person was actually a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

As long as they captured her, they could obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

For any Spirit Master, that was a colossal opportunity beyond their wildest dreams!

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The instant Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo saw Xiao Wu, their pupils contracted sharply, their faces filled with shock.

They still had some impression of this little girl who had followed Tang San around.

Yet back then, they hadn't sensed even the slightest trace of a Soul Beast aura from Xiao Wu!

However, the three from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not develop greedy thoughts.

After all, they were now cooperating with Tang San.

Tang San's ability to revive people was far more important to them than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

But everyone else had gone completely mad.

Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in particular flew into a rage on the spot, his furious roar deafening.

Their mighty Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, ranked third under heaven, had been reduced to mere background scenery on the Genius Ranking this time. They hadn't had even the slightest sense of involvement, let alone any rewards.

But the moment he saw Xiao Wu, he felt that this was the Sky Screen's ultimate reward for him!

He was already impatient to rush to Heaven Dou City and seize Xiao Wu back to his clan!

Star Dou Forest, beneath the Lake of Life.

When the many powerful Soul Beasts saw the words "Xiao Wu's sacrifice" on the Sky Screen, every one of them erupted in fury and roared toward the heavens.

"That Xiao Wu actually sacrificed herself for a human!"

"That brat possesses the power to revive people. He'll definitely become a god in the future!"

"This king absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen!"

Di Tian stared fixedly at Xiao Wu's figure on the Sky Screen, his eyes crimson as he looked at her as though she were a traitor.

Then, his divine sense stirred.

Above the Lake of Life, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, who had been looking up at the Sky Screen, suddenly stiffened.

They stared below the Lake of Life in utter disbelief.

They hadn't expected the legend to be true!

At the bottom of the Lake of Life, there truly slept an unimaginably powerful existence!

"Big Brother, even without him saying so, we're going out!"

The Titan Giant Ape's voice was choked with emotion, his fists clenched until they creaked.

"We have to bring Sister Xiao Wu back. We can't let her keep mingling with humans!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python slowly raised its enormous bull head, its deep voice echoing through the forest:

"The two of us will go together!"

"Now that Sister Xiao Wu's identity has been exposed, those powerful humans will definitely fight madly over her!"

"Only by joining forces will we have a better chance of protecting her!"

Just as everyone was eyeing Xiao Wu covetously, the scene on the Sky Screen abruptly changed.

More than twenty figures were walking through a primordial forest filled with towering ancient trees, seemingly searching for something.

[Look! Aren't those three the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall?!]

Because the Sky Screen had previously revealed the Golden Generation's appearances.

Although the three in the scene were noticeably more mature than before, everyone still recognized them at a glance.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo?"

"Those two Title Douluo actually brought so many people into the Star Dou Forest."

"What are they trying to do? Could they be hunting Spirit Rings for the Golden Generation?"

Soon, someone recognized the leaders of the group of more than twenty. They were none other than Spirit Hall's two elders—Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo!

Then, a line of text appeared on the Sky Screen, and the perspective shifted with it before finally settling on a blue-haired youth.

The youth was handsome, with an indescribable gentleness between his brows.

Everyone looked at one another, all saying they had no idea who he was.

Yet Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao, who was searching for his son, and Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo all froze when they saw the blue-haired youth in the scene.

This person actually looked remarkably like Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor!

Soon, the Sky Screen revealed the answer to their doubts as a line of golden text slowly appeared:

[The person before them was none other than Tang San, who had awakened his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline!]

[At this time, Tang San had come to the Star Dou Forest to search for Xiao Wu and happened to encounter a hunting party led by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who had come under Pope Bibi Dong's orders to capture the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu!]

[At this time, Tang San's appearance had changed drastically, and he had deliberately concealed his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, so no one from Spirit Hall recognized his true identity!]

[Furthermore, Tang San had once gone to Slaughter City and obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain alongside Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, Hu Liena. The two had shared a period of cooperation!]

[Under Hu Liena's protection, Tang San, who possessed the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, was temporarily accepted into Spirit Hall's group!]

[They soon ventured deep into the Star Dou Forest and found Xiao Wu!]

"Welcome to the Star Dou Forest."

In the scene, a gentle and melodious voice suddenly came from ahead.

Ghost Douluo, walking at the front, abruptly stopped, his expression instantly turning solemn.

Upon hearing that voice, Tang San, watching the Sky Screen, shuddered violently, his eyes immediately reddening.

Whose moving voice could it be, if not Xiao Wu's?

His Xiao Wu really was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Immediately afterward, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo in the scene exchanged a glance, a trace of ruthlessness flashing through their eyes.

All the Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall immediately changed formation.

Twenty Soul Saints rapidly contracted their formation, protecting the Golden Generation and Tang San in the middle while releasing their Martial Souls.

The sight of twenty Soul Saints releasing their Martial Souls at once was simply earth-shattering!

In an instant, the air within a hundred meters of them twisted violently, and terrifying Soul Power fluctuations swept in every direction!

The Spirit Masters outside all gasped at the sight, their faces filled with horror.

Soul Saint-level experts were already rare across the continent.

Yet Spirit Hall had dispatched twenty Soul Saints in one stroke!
