I'm Just Here to Catch Rabbits

"Tang San!" Zhao Wuji watched Tang San chase after it and hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late to catch up. He turned to glare furiously at Xiao Wujiu. "Why didn't you stop the Titan Giant Ape?!"

His words instantly drew the attention of the Shrek group, who had only just come to their senses. They all turned to look at Xiao Wujiu and Zhao Wuji.

Xiao Wujiu: "?"

"Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that? Your injuries haven't even healed yet. Have you forgotten the beating already?"

As he spoke, he raised the Kanglong Mace in his hand. The effects of the Dragon Strength Pill had yet to wear off. Even when he had first arrived on the Douluo Continent, Zhao Wuji had been someone he could easily beat up. Yet Zhao Wuji still dared to provoke him.

"You, I..."

"You what? I what? Did I ever say I came to save you? I lent a hand while I was at it, and now you're getting full of yourself. You dare order me around? I think you really need another beating!"

With that, he vanished in an instant, moving even faster than before. When he reappeared behind Zhao Wuji, he swung his mace down once again!

Another deafening boom rang through the forest. Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul Avatar was shattered, and he crashed to the ground. A fresh wound appeared on his back, crossing the previous one to form a huge "×."

"I remember telling you that the next time you saw me, you were to take a detour. You really can't remember anything. If you haven't had enough of a beating, feel free to come find me. I'll definitely beat you half to death!"

After saying that, Xiao Wujiu saw that Zhao Wuji could no longer hold on. Whether from his grave injuries or from losing face, he fainted dead away.

Seeing this, Xiao Wujiu put aside his playful mood. He swept his gaze over the Shrek group before finally settling it on Ning Rongrong. "I didn't expect our next meeting to be under such circumstances. But I still need to find that Titan Giant Ape, so I'll have to excuse myself this time."

"Mm..."

It had been an entirely ordinary exchange, yet Ning Rongrong's cheeks reddened for some reason. Xiao Wujiu's overwhelming strength, his courteous manner, and the way he had just played the hero to save her left an extraordinarily deep impression in her heart.

After finishing all this, Xiao Wujiu headed in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had gone.

Eight Spider Lances, here I come!

Only after Xiao Wujiu had gone far away did Ma Hongjun finally let out a heavy breath. "Damn, where did that monster come from? Even the King of the Forest that Teacher Zhao couldn't withstand was chased away by him just like that. And he even defeated Teacher Zhao in his Martial Soul Avatar state with a single strike."

"Yeah. I really don't know how he cultivates. He barely seems human!" Oscar echoed from the side.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who had also witnessed everything, said nothing. Such overwhelming strength had deeply pierced their hearts.

"With strength like that, perhaps one wouldn't need to care about fate anymore?"

Xiao Wujiu leisurely followed the trail left behind by the Titan Giant Ape. Corpses of Spirit Beasts littered the surroundings, and yellow and purple Spirit Rings could be seen everywhere.

At that moment, he was like a hunter who had everything under control, slowly inspecting his own dangerous hunting grounds without the slightest worry that his prey would escape.

"The Eight Spider Lances are known for their sharpness and venom. They can also devour a person's life essence. If I can develop that devouring ability further, they may become a powerful weapon in my future battles."

"Although the Douluo Continent's overall combat power isn't high, its rules are quite exceptional. As long as those rules are preserved, this system has enormous potential. And an External Soul Bone grows along with its owner's strength. For me, it's practically the best kind of equipment."

Taking everything into account, Xiao Wujiu placed great importance on the Eight Spider Lances. He was determined to obtain them!

As for whether the rules would be weakened or suppressed by the world he was in? Since he valued their traits, Xiao Wujiu naturally would not waste his efforts.

With the Gate of Transmigration, he was already an exceptionally special existence. The Eight Spider Lances would achieve the greatest possible growth and enhancement in his hands!

As he thought this, he gradually sensed a fluctuation of Soul Power as he ventured deeper.

When he approached, he saw Tang San sitting cross-legged, absorbing a Man Faced Demon Spider.

Within his perception, a peculiar mass of energy was gathering behind Tang San. It differed from Soul Power and had yet to completely fuse with him. Xiao Wujiu could not help but smile.

"Treasure belongs to the capable. The ancients truly did not deceive me!"

He calmly walked behind Tang San, summoned his Martial Soul, the Creation Cauldron, and enlarged it to envelop Tang San. A red hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring flickered above the Creation Cauldron.

He did this to refine and separate Tang San from the Eight Spider Lances behind him. The Gate of Transmigration could currently only store one charge at a time. If he killed Tang San and then found himself unable to charge it on the Douluo Continent, that would be troublesome. He would have no choice but to remain in this world and honestly wait for transmigration energy to accumulate.

So, he merely separated Tang San's Eight Spider Lances. It would even help Tang San absorb the Spirit Ring. Perhaps Tang San would have to thank him afterward!

After some time, Xiao Wujiu looked at the violet-black mass of energy within the Creation Cauldron and smiled in satisfaction.

"Done." He glanced at Tang San, who was about to finish absorbing the Spirit Ring, and smiled faintly. "You still have some value. I hope you make good use of what remains of it."

With that, he continued deeper into the forest.

In his mind, the Crossing Gate's energy had already finished charging. He could return to the Douqi Continent at any time, so he could act more boldly from here on. That was also why he had dared to take Tang San's External Soul Bone without restraint.

In his previous life, some people had speculated that Tang San was a contingency arranged by Asura. But what did that have to do with him?

Even if that were true, as long as he was given time to grow, let alone Asura—even the God Realm itself, Xiao Wujiu could overturn it!

Just after Xiao Wu finished condensing her third Spirit Ring, Er Ming suddenly turned around with a wary expression.

"Er Ming, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu looked at Er Ming in confusion, but then her expression turned delighted and distressed. "Could it be that Third Brother has come?"

"No. It's that human who injured me."

Er Ming's deep voice sounded out. Every muscle in his body tensed, ready to break through and flee with Xiao Wu at any moment.

Xiao Wu had not expected Xiao Wujiu to follow them here. Looking back in the direction they had come from, she heard a familiar voice.

"Yo, I finally found you."

With a gentle smile, Xiao Wujiu greeted the person and beast as though they were old acquaintances.

No, it should have been two beasts.

He looked at Xiao Wu, who was delicate and adorable, with not the slightest reaction. She was already a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit. His tastes were not that heavy.

"Xiao Wujiu, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Wujiu, calculating his true strength. However, she realized that he had never shown his full power. The idea of keeping him here was probably impossible to accomplish.

"Little rabbit, are you asking me?"

"You two get along so harmoniously. My arrival was rather sudden, but I'm only here to catch rabbits."

As he spoke, he took that Soft Bone Rabbit from his Storage Ring and tossed it before the two beasts.
