Xiao Wu's Advance

[Holy crap, the streamer finally let my girl out! I stayed up all night just waiting for this scene!]

Chu Men glanced at the data curve on his streaming panel.

Good grief, the number of online viewers hadn't dipped once all night. That surging momentum was enough to make Chu Men feel like he was about to gain a "High Spirits" status effect.

"Kidnapping a little girl has practically turned me into the king of late-night programming!"

Chu Men casually sent a co-streaming invitation to Lin Xiaoyu, then turned to rummage through his storage bag, pulling out a pink crystal necklace and handing it to Xiao Wu.

"First time kidnapping, please take care of me from now on!"

Seeing that Xiao Wu didn't take it and was still waiting for an answer, Chu Men had to kindly remind her:

"Put this necklace on first to mask the scent of... a little white rabbit on you!

"Oh right, you're a Soft Bone Rabbit, aren't you? Anyway, safety first!"

Chu Men's soul power was limited; his Inversion Pen could only provide a temporary masking effect for her aura.

Heaven Dou City was crawling with experts. If someone discovered Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast, the consequences would be dire!

"Mask my aura?"

Xiao Wu could sense a hint of goodwill, but she didn't rashly take the necklace, stubbornly asking, "Who exactly are you?"

"That's an interesting question, but it makes no sense! I told you my name is Chu Men, but you don't know me anyway, do you?"

Chu Men nodded, then shook his head, and after finishing his sentence, he shrugged.

Xiao Wu subconsciously took a step back, her bare feet pressing against the cold floor, and she asked sharply, "Then why did you capture me?"

Chu Men crossed his arms and leaned against the workbench, raising an eyebrow.

"I have to talk to you about that. You're a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, so why aren't you staying put in the Star Dou Great Forest instead of wandering around aimlessly!"

Chu Men's kidnapping of Xiao Wu wasn't entirely out of... appreciation; it was more to weaken Tang San, his potential rival.

If he didn't pluck Tang San until he was a bald chicken, Chu Men just wouldn't feel at ease!

He hadn't expected that going out for a spin would also earn him a wave of streaming traffic. How delightful!

Praise be to Sister Lin!

"Are you from Spirit Hall? Did you come to catch me?"

Xiao Wu was terrified. Bloody images flashed through her mind, and her small fists were clenched tight.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with rage, as if she were about to lunge forward and fight to the death at any moment!

"No. A hundred-thousand-year soul bone isn't that rare to me!"

Chu Men looked the delicate and lovely Xiao Wu up and down and laughed, "Little girl, you're the one who's more rare!"

He wasn't a native of the Douluo world; he didn't have such a strong obsession with soul bones.

But for Tang San, without Xiao Wu, there would be no Da Ming or Er Ming.

Chu Men's move could be described as drawing the firewood from under the cauldron!

Since the guest had arrived, Chu Men brought out some tea and pastries: "Eat something. Don't starve to death; I don't want to raise a dead rabbit."

"You're the dead rabbit!"

Xiao Wu took a mung bean cake indignantly, but just as Chu Men smiled and let his guard down, she seized the opportunity, turned, and bolted!

A pink figure flashed and vanished!

"Whoa! That was decisive!"

Chu Men moved, his level 42 soul power boosting him as he blocked the door before she could reach it.

Xiao Wu didn't stop. A flash of determination crossed her eyes as her scorpion braid swept out, aiming straight for Chu Men's neck.

At the same time, she pushed off the ground with her toes, her entire body snapping toward him like a spring.

Her waist bent into an astonishing arc, like a fully drawn longbow, storing up incredible force!

First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!

Her knees drove toward Chu Men's chest, her fists smashed toward his temples, and that flexible, swift long braid followed suit!

The Soft Bone Charm Rabbit's close-quarters combo was lethal with every strike!

An ordinary Soul Ancestor would have been caught off guard by this burst of power, but Chu Men didn't even dodge.

"Soft techniques? Seeing is believing, indeed!"

Chu Men met her head-on, though he was pushed back half a step by the force of the Waist Bow, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Little rabbit, you've got some kick!"

Chu Men stopped holding back. The soul power in his body surged into his limbs, and various resistances were instantly activated.

His eyes narrowed as his hands precisely grabbed Xiao Wu's ankles, exerting force to lift her entire body and suspend her high in the air.

Xiao Wu's scorpion braid was forced to change direction, wrapping around Chu Men's arm and pulling tight, but he didn't budge.

She hurriedly shifted her momentum, twisting her waist in mid-air to kick at Chu Men's throat.

The entire sequence of movements was fluid, executed in one go!

"Nice moves!"

The Truman Show exclaimed in admiration, stepping back half a pace. The Inversion Pen materialized in his palm, and he traced a line along the trajectory of Xiao Wu's kick—

"Attack direction, inverted!"

The next second, Xiao Wu's small foot uncontrollably retracted.

The sudden shift in her center of gravity, combined with the difficulty of finding leverage in mid-air, caused her body to tumble backward.

"Displacement direction, inverted!"

The Truman Show reached out with his left hand to entangle her scorpion braid, while his right hand formed a palm to catch her body. With a flick of his wrist, he forcibly pressed her waist and legs onto the workbench.

He didn't even forget to use her own scorpion braid to tie her hands and feet, giving her a taste of her own medicine.

No matter how much Xiao Wu struggled, she could not escape the Five Finger Mountain of Lord Truman.

[That's the Waist Bow, Xiao Wu's signature spirit skill! Holy crap, the streamer has no sportsmanship!]

[A Spirit Ancestor using a martial soul against a little Spirit Master? Ptooey! Xiao Wu is defeated but still glorious!]

[Xiao Wu's reserve army is here! Streamer, release Xiao Wu at once!]

After suppressing Xiao Wu, The Truman Show took a moment to open his live-streaming panel, only to find the chat filled with comments like "bullying the weak," "no sportsmanship," and "bow and apologize."

Lin Xiaoyu, who was connected via voice chat, tried to offer a weak defense, but she was quickly drowned out by the barrage from Xiao Wu's fans.

The Truman Show was speechless.

The properties of the Inversion Pen were just like Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia; it was a highly specialized martial soul. No matter how many spirit rings he added, there was only one spirit skill!

Inversion! Reversal!

Although the effect of this move was heaven-defying, it was not suitable for high-intensity combat!

Just then, a viewer with the ID "Light and Shadow Magician" posted a long comment that caught the attention of several fans.

[Brothers, I'm a film special effects artist with ten years of experience.]

[The special effects in this stream are very wrong. I carefully watched the clips from last night, and they were stunning!]

[But it's broad daylight now, and the texture of the streamer's martial soul effects is just too exaggerated!]

[The most suspicious point is the timing. This stream called "The Truman Show" is actually broadcasting 24 hours a day without interruption. It's absolutely outrageous!]

[No editing, no transitions, not even ads. What kind of variety show could achieve this level?]

The comment was long, and Light and Shadow Magician even left it as a pinned comment under the stream, which was quickly upvoted to the very top by everyone!

The Truman Show looked at this comment, his fingers subconsciously spinning the Inversion Pen:

"Someone noticed so quickly. As expected, one should never underestimate the wisdom of the masses!"

Following the professional's comment, the chat went quiet for a few seconds before completely exploding!

[Holy crap! Is it real?]

[It couldn't really be the Douluo world... a live stream from another world, could it!]

[Supernatural phenomenon? A mirage?]

[Thinking about it is terrifying. If so, did the streamer really kidnap Xiao Wu? Is Douluo real too?]

[If it's real, aren't we watching real-time footage of another world? Streamer, aren't you going to say something?]

[I'll gift 10 rockets! Streamer, hurry up and touch Xiao Wu's rabbit ears!]

Lin Xiaoyu, connected via voice chat, was also stunned. Her questions were jammed like a traffic jam, and not a single word managed to escape her slightly parted lips.
