Bone Douluo Discovers Xiao Wu Is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast

Only Yu Zhi remained in the hall. He leisurely paced over to the window.

"Hehe, this Sky Screen really is a wonderful thing. With its help, I've saved myself so much effort. Otherwise, getting any closer to Teacher would have taken years."

"Little fox, the next time we meet, you'll have to call me Master's husband! And Qian Renxue, Brother Zhi is going to take over your homeland!"

As for how he would obtain Ninjutsu, he already had a plan!

Four words: fish in troubled waters!

Late at night, the moonlight was cold, and Shrek Academy's gates were shrouded in darkness.

The Shrek group had just finished their meal and were returning to the academy gates in twos and threes.

As Ning Rongrong chatted with those beside her, her peripheral vision suddenly caught a familiar figure standing quietly not far away. Her face immediately filled with surprise as she hurried over.

"Grandpa Bone! Why are you here?"

Gu Rong wore a simple robe, his face carrying its usual kindly smile as he looked at her warmly. "Grandpa came specifically to pick up the little princess of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Then his smile faded. Lowering his voice, he said solemnly to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, now that the Sky Screen has appeared, the entire Douluo Continent will soon be thrown into turmoil, and great chaos is approaching. It's too dangerous for you to continue training outside. Staying at Shrek is not as safe as returning to the sect."

He had already prepared a whole speech to persuade her, worried that Ning Rongrong would throw a young lady's tantrum and stubbornly refuse to go back.

Yet Ning Rongrong merely rolled her eyes at him and said sweetly, "Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore. You don't need to be so nervous."

Gu Rong was slightly stunned before smiling with gratification. "Good, good, good. Our Rongrong is the most sensible and obedient."

Seeing his little princess being so well-behaved put Gu Rong in high spirits. His gaze swept over the Shrek group beside her as he smilingly suggested, "Since we've run into each other, Rongrong, won't you introduce these classmates of yours to Grandpa?"

Ning Rongrong immediately perked up. Though she often had plenty to complain about regarding Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San, she had always liked Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing very much.

She pulled the two girls forward and proudly introduced them. "Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, this is my grandfather. He's the famous Bone Douluo, a Title Douluo!"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered, her heart full of envy.

If she had a Title Douluo like this protecting her, why would she need to remain at the mercy of the Star Luo Royal Family?

But Xiao Wu, standing beside her, suddenly gave a slight shudder, her entire body tensing.

"How could we run into a Title Douluo here out of nowhere?"

Ning Rongrong was about to continue her introduction. "Grandpa, this is Zhuqing, and this is Xiao—"

Before she could finish, Gu Rong abruptly raised a hand and interrupted her.

His gaze locked firmly onto Xiao Wu, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's as he muttered in a low voice, "I sensed from afar that there was something off about your aura. I never expected that a trip to Shrek would bring me such an immense opportunity."

Everyone present was stunned and utterly confused, unable to understand why Bone Douluo had suddenly become so grave.

Then Gu Rong spoke with certainty, enunciating every word.

"You are a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transforming Spirit Beast, aren't you?"

Boom!

The words exploded like thunder, leaving the Shrek group utterly horrified.

Looking again at Xiao Wu's deathly pale face and trembling body, everyone instantly understood.

It was true!

The fire in Gu Rong's eyes burned even hotter as he slowly nodded. "Rare, truly rare. Your cultivation is only in the twenties, which means you are clearly still a juvenile Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast after transforming. You are an unparalleled treasure!"

Tang San stepped forward. "Senior, there must be some misunderstanding!"

But Bone Douluo paid him no attention. An overwhelming pressure suddenly erupted from his body, and he raised a hand to seize Xiao Wu through the air!

The terrifying aura of a Title Douluo engulfed the surroundings. Xiao Wu and Tang San felt their bodies completely restrained, their limbs stiff and unable to move even a single step. They could not possibly evade this grab.

Despair flooded Xiao Wu's heart in an instant. Tears welled up in her eyes as she mournfully whispered in her heart.

Mom, your daughter ultimately can't avenge you...

Third Brother, I'm sorry. We... have to say goodbye.

At that critical instant, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness and forcibly blocked Gu Rong's path, one palm steadily stopping his capture.

A hoarse, weathered voice slowly rang out.

"Senior Bone, please calm down."

The Shrek group was completely dumbfounded. None of them had expected another powerful expert to be hiding here in the middle of the night.

"Hmph! How dare you!"

Gu Rong's expression darkened. Spirit Rings instantly rose around him, their dazzling light appearing layer upon layer.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black—nine Spirit Rings encircled his body, and the terrifying pressure of a Title Douluo swept through the entire area!

Other than Ning Rongrong, whom he deliberately protected, everyone from Shrek struggled to breathe beneath that pressure. They could only desperately release their Martial Souls to resist, yet their heads still felt unbearably heavy, and they could not lift them at all.

The next moment, the tall figure clad in tattered black robes slowly released his own Spirit Rings.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and finally, a glaring crimson Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring slowly lit up, bewitching and intimidating.

Gu Rong's pupils suddenly contracted. Feeling that incomparably familiar aura and staring at that rare Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, his voice was filled with shock and gravity.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring... You are—Tang Hao!"

The moment those words fell, the entire scene sank into dead silence!

Who on the continent did not know the name of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo and the youngest Title Douluo in history?

"Senior, according to the rules of the Soul Master world, I was the first to discover this transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Gu Rong narrowed his eyes. His gaze casually swept over Tang San in the crowd, and upon seeing his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he immediately recalled that shocking event from years ago.

Tang Hao had once fallen in love with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Beast, bringing immense shame upon the Clear Sky Sect.

Gu Rong immediately turned toward Ning Rongrong, who was still reeling from the shock. Pointing at Tang San, he asked in a deep voice, "Rongrong, does this classmate of yours have the surname Tang?"

Still overwhelmed by the revelation that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Ning Rongrong blurted out instinctively.

"That's right, Grandpa Bone. His name is Tang San, and he was even chosen by the Sky Screen to enter the Nine-Tails Incident dungeon!"

The moment Tang Hao heard this, his heart sank as he inwardly cursed.

Gu Rong, however, instantly curled his lips into a knowing sneer as he looked at Tang Hao.

"Tang Hao, Tang Hao. I never thought that for the sake of your own son, you would actually go so far as to secretly keep a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transforming Spirit Beast at your side. What a grand move!"

At these words, Xiao Wu's face turned even paler. Her eyes immediately reddened, crystalline tears swirling in them.

"Third Brother! You..."

Seeing this, Tang Hao knew he could gain no advantage now. He could not protect Tang San by himself, so he could only say in a deep voice, "Senior Bone, leave room for mercy in all things. Why don't we discuss terms?"

Gu Rong's gaze was dark as he pondered briefly before slowly nodding. "Very well."

He understood clearly that if they truly tore all pretenses aside and fought, he might not fear Tang Hao, but the aftermath of their battle would be too severe. Ning Rongrong beside him would certainly be drawn into danger.

He should have brought Sword Man with him in the first place.

The two secretly transmitted their voices with Soul Power, reaching a concealed agreement within moments!
