Soul Beasts Appear!

The moment they sensed the aura emanating from Xiao Wu, their eyes flashed with undisguised greed.

It was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

A soul beast capable of producing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone!

For Title Douluo, this was a passport to a higher realm, a heaven-defying opportunity that could be sought but never found.

They had been summoned by Bibi Dong to deal with the major threat that was Tang Hao.

But now, seeing a living, unconcealed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast standing right before them, all thoughts of the bigger picture, their mission, and Clear Sky Douluo were cast to the winds.

The four Title Douluo moved in unison.

Four streaks of light shot toward Xiao Wu like meteors, lunging for the kill with savage intent!

Tang Hao's expression shifted violently.

Almost subconsciously, he made his choice. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand expanded against the wind, its red patterns erupting with blinding light as he smashed it toward the main hall of Martial Soul Hall.

His logic was clear: besiege the kingdom to save the prince. If he smashed their main hall, those Title Douluo would surely turn back to defend their home base, right?

But he had underestimated the power of greed.

Those four Title Douluo had already been blinded by the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Martial Soul Hall could be rebuilt if destroyed, but a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, once missed, was gone forever—there would never be a second chance in this lifetime.

They didn't even look back; with eyes fixed only on Xiao Wu's slender figure, their speed increased rather than slowed.

Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply.

He watched the four Title Douluo recklessly pounce toward Xiao Wu, then looked at Tang San standing before her, his mind churning like a stormy sea.

How could things be such a coincidence?

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast taking human form, only to have her identity exposed at the most critical moment of the Spirit Master Tournament.

The immortal herb on Xiao Wu, falling off at the most chaotic moment.

Four Title Douluo, summoned at this exact time...

Everything was maddeningly coincidental, as if an invisible hand were manipulating everyone's fate from behind the scenes.

But he had no time to think.

The regret he had suffered once before must absolutely not be repeated!

"Pfft!"

Tang Hao spat a mouthful of blood onto the Clear Sky Hammer, his broken body erupting with incredible speed.

He abandoned the strike aimed at the Martial Soul Hall main hall, his entire being turning like a blood-colored meteor as he forced a mid-air change in direction, shooting toward Xiao Wu.

But it was already a step too late.

The speed of those four Title Douluo was too great.

Their palms were already reaching out from four directions, sealing off all of Xiao Wu's escape routes.

Four strands of soul power with different attributes wove into an airtight net, locking her firmly in the center.

Against the combined offensive of four Title Douluo, let alone Xiao Wu's shallow cultivation after taking human form, even if she were to recover her full strength as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she might not be able to withstand it.

The best moment to escape had been lost.

Even if Tang Hao risked his remaining life, he might not be able to snatch Xiao Wu out from the encirclement of those four.

The color drained from the faces of the Shrek group in an instant.

Dai Mubai roared as he tried to charge forward, only to be knocked to the ground by the shockwaves of the Title Douluo.

Ning Rongrong covered her eyes, not daring to look, gasping for air. Her gaze fell on Sword Douluo in search of help, but she pulled it away in an instant.

Tang San stood before Xiao Wu with a look of desperate resolve to protect her, yet in his heart, he was silently calculating the distance.

Very good, just like this.

Three more feet.

As long as those four Title Douluo moved three more feet forward, Xiao Wu would be completely trapped in a desperate situation.

At that moment, he would give her a look and say to her, "I will die with you..."

This silly rabbit would surely be willing to sacrifice herself.

Then, he would be able to possess a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

And to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring at such an early stage would cause his potential and strength to surge.

With this, he might be able to obtain even more Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings in the future, becoming the true number one in the world!

The palms of the four Title Douluo had almost touched the soul power barrier around Xiao Wu, and that barrier was shattering inch by inch under the pressure of the Title Douluo.

But at this very instant.

Spatial fluctuations appeared in the sky once more.

However, unlike before, this time it was no longer just a fluctuation.

It was a tearing!

The space above the entire grand hall was forcibly ripped open by an indescribable, terrifying force, creating a massive gap.

A soul beast's cry erupted suddenly from within that gap.

That was no ordinary soul beast's roar.

It was a roar imbued with endless thunder and boundless fury.

The instant the roar exploded, every candle in the hall flickered out simultaneously, the reliefs on the four walls crumbled and peeled away from the vibrations, and countless soul masters clutched their ears, collapsing to the ground in agony.

The movements of the four Title Douluo were actually brought to a complete halt by this single roar.

Tang Hao's pupils contracted violently.

He felt that the aura emanating from that gap was more terrifying than any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast he had ever encountered.

It was not merely the aura of a soul beast.

Mixed within that aura was some kind of more ancient, more forbidden power, as if a malevolent entity had seeped through from another plane.

Clouds churned, and thunder cracked.

A massive, dark golden figure slowly emerged from the spatial rift.

Within the spatial rift, that dark golden figure was finally fully revealed.

It was a Golden Light Eagle.

Its entire body was covered in gilded feathers, each one refracting a metallic luster under the sunlight, with a wingspan reaching a full three zhang in width.

By the standards of soul beasts, a ten-thousand-year cultivation Golden Light Eagle was certainly not weak, but it could by no means be considered top-tier.

In ordinary times, such a soul beast appearing above Martial Soul Hall would at best be considered a fine piece of scenery.

But at this moment, as this Golden Light Eagle swooped out from the spatial rift, its posture showed not the slightest hesitation.

Its gaze swept past the devastated grand hall, past the countless Title Douluo, past Bibi Dong, Tang Hao, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the four high priests, locking precisely onto Xiao Wu.

Then, it folded its wings and dove downward.

Without a moment's hesitation.

It was as if it did not see the dense crowd of Title Douluo present.

Today, he had been resting when he suddenly sensed a forbidden aura emanating from the depths of the Star Dou Forest.

Out of curiosity, he spread his wings and flew off, wanting to see exactly what had happened.

He would never be able to forget the scene that followed; that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast of the Titan Giant Ape clan acted as if it had been drugged, its form and momentum completely altered, a world of difference from before!

Then, the Golden Light Eagle heard a very faint voice that nonetheless easily spread across half of the Star Dou Forest.

"Go, Er Ming, and save my daughter."

Hearing that murmur, the Golden Light Eagle's breathing quickened, and he soon realized that this was absolutely an opportunity.

That legendary forbidden figure actually had a daughter.

And his daughter was actually in danger?

This was a golden opportunity to cling to a powerful thigh!

He followed the beast tide into the spatial rift without hesitation and, sure enough, saw a girl being besieged by Martial Soul Hall.

Now it seemed he had bet correctly.

Moreover, he was the first to bet correctly!

As long as he protected this girl, it was not impossible for him to become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
