Xiao Wu's Collapse, Tang San's Hypocritical Schemes, Long Yun Exposed!

"Who... who are you?"

Xiao Wu asked loudly, her voice trembling with undisguised fear.

The young man slowly stood up and took a single step, his figure instantly appearing three feet in front of Xiao Wu.

"Who I am is not important."

"What matters is, why is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit not staying put in the Star Dou Great Forest, but instead running all the way to Heaven Dou City?"

Long Yun's expression was indifferent as he spoke Xiao Wu's greatest secret directly.

Upon hearing the words "Soft Bone Rabbit," Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

She retreated repeatedly, clutching her hands to her chest, her eyes filled with terror.

"How... how do you know my identity?"

Watching her frightened state, Long Yun pointed helplessly toward the sky.

"Haven't you been watching the images on the Sky Screen?"

Xiao Wu froze for a moment, looking up blankly, before a world-shaking thought flashed through her mind.

She stared fixedly at Long Yun, her large eyes filled with shock.

"You... you are that... Primordial Rainbow Dragon from the Sky Screen?!"

Long Yun smiled noncommittally, which she took as confirmation.

The moment she received confirmation, Xiao Wu felt her legs go weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

Heavens!

The god-like existence from the Sky Screen, who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, who fed immortal herbs like snacks and snapped the Evil Emperor's tentacles with a single slap, was actually standing right in front of her!

After the shock subsided, a thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Wu's mind.

The Shrek Academy group, especially Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, were outside plotting to deal with Rainbow Academy and forcibly seize their heritage and immortal herbs.

The person they are planning to deal with... is actually this god?

Xiao Wu screamed in terror in her heart.

How was this any different from seeking death?

In front of such a powerful existence, Shrek Academy didn't even count as ants; if the other party were to blow a single breath, they would be reduced to dust.

Although Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's actions this time had disappointed her, her love-struck brain made it impossible for her to watch Tang San walk to his death.

No, I have to go tell Brother San and make them leave here immediately!

Xiao Wu thought anxiously, her body instinctively retreating as she tried to leave this space.

Long Yun watched her quietly, his deep eyes seemingly able to see through every thought in her heart.

"Thinking of going to tip off that Tang San?"

Long Yun's voice was soft, yet it made Xiao Wu's footsteps freeze instantly.

Xiao Wu turned her head, her face incredibly awkward, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

"I... I was just..."

She stammered, having no idea how to explain herself.

Long Yun sighed, looking at her with pity.

"For his sake, you are willing to expose your own identity, even willing to accompany him to his death."

"But, do you really understand him?"

Hearing Long Yun's words, Xiao Wu was slightly stunned.

"Brother San is very good to me; he is willing to protect me with his life!"

Xiao Wu retorted stubbornly.

Long Yun said nothing more, merely raising his right hand and tapping lightly in the void.

A nine-colored ice mirror quietly condensed in the air, its surface rippling to reveal the scene outside.

The image showed the Shrek group searching for immortal herbs.

However, what made Xiao Wu's eyes widen was that Tang San was not searching in the grass or buildings like the others.

He stood alone in the shade of a dark tree, his expression gloomy.

In the image, Tang San looked around, and after confirming no one was nearby, a cold, sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form; she belongs to nature, and her sensitivity to the aura of immortal herbs is definitely sharper than anyone else's."

"This time, she will definitely be able to find the best immortal herbs."

Tang San muttered to himself in the image, his eyes filled with calculation.

"With how devoted she is to me, once she finds them, she will definitely hand them over to me first."

"Heh, with the immortal herbs, I can finally resolve the conflict between my Twin Martial Souls."

"Once I become a god, I will find a way to take her hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone. That way, my strength will reach its peak."

"She is just a spirit beast; it is her honor to contribute to my path to godhood."

In the image, Tang San's face was twisted and greedy. Where was the gentle, jade-like demeanor he displayed in his daily life?

Watching the scene in the ice mirror and hearing those selfish, cold words, Xiao Wu felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Her body trembled violently, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"No... this isn't real..."

"Brother San would never treat me like this. This must be an illusion you've set up!"

Xiao Wu shook her head desperately, trying to deny everything she saw before her.

However, the small habits Tang San displayed in the image and the expression on his face as he spoke were things she knew better than anyone.

That was definitely not something an illusion could simulate.

"He actually knew you were a spirit beast a long time ago."

Long Yun's voice rang in her ears, devoid of any emotion, yet it struck Xiao Wu's heart like a heavy hammer.

"He never pointed it out simply because he was waiting for the most opportune moment to squeeze every bit of value out of you."

Xiao Wu collapsed to the ground, her face as pale as paper. The bright, beautiful eyes that once sparkled had lost all their luster in this moment.

Her mental state collapsed in an instant.

She never imagined that the person she had loved with all her heart had been treating her as a tool and a future spirit ring all along.

Yet, even with the truth laid out before her, her heart, blinded by love for so many years, still struggled and hesitated violently.

Just as Xiao Wu sank into endless agony, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly erupted from the sky outside.

Above the Sky Screen, the daily scenes that had been playing gradually faded away.

Dark red clouds churned and condensed into massive golden characters.

[Fifth place, Ice Empress, Iridescent Ice Jade Emperor Dragon Scorpion, ranking concluded.]

[Distributing rewards now.]

The moment these words appeared, the eyes of the entire Douluo Continent were drawn to them once again.

[Reward 1: Perfect Transformation.]

[Reward 2: Cultivation age increased to 600,000 years.]

[Reward 3: One Godhead Fragment.]

Looking at the three rewards displayed on the Sky Screen, the entire Douluo Continent erupted into chaos after a brief moment of silence.

The barrage of comments flashed frantically like a rainstorm.

"Perfect Transformation? Godhead Fragment? What are these things?"

"Cultivation increased to 600,000 years? This reward is too heaven-defying!"

"My god, these rewards are enough to make anyone green with envy!"

Amidst the shock of countless people, the Sky Screen began to analyze the rewards.

[Perfect Transformation: Spirit beasts can perfectly switch between human and spirit beast forms at will. When transformed into a human, physical strength remains undiminished, power does not regress, and there is no longer the danger of a vulnerable infancy period.]

[Godhead Fragment: Contains fragments of the supreme laws of the God Realm. It can assist spirit beasts in breaking through the level-100 limit, condensing a godhead, achieving a divine position, and advancing their strength even further.]
