Tang San's pupils contracted sharply.

"Father?"

Tang Hao did not look at him.

Tang Hao's gaze landed on Xiao Wu.

There was scrutiny and gravity in that gaze, but notably, no killing intent.

"Little girl."

Xiao Wu froze completely.

"I know your identity."

Tang San whipped his head to look at Xiao Wu, then turned back to look at Tang Hao.

Something was roaring in his mind, but he had no time to think.

"However, you need not worry."

Tang Hao's voice was very flat, devoid of any emotion.

"You are Little San's friend."

"I will not harm you."

Xiao Wu's lips moved.

She wanted to say something, but found she could not make a sound.

This ragged middle-aged man was actually Tang San's father?

Tang San's father was actually a powerful Soul Master?

And he had known all along... he had known she was a Soul Beast?

Yet as he looked at her, there was no disgust or murderous intent in his eyes.

"There is no time for nonsense now."

Tang Hao stepped forward. One hand grabbed Xiao Wu's wrist.

The other hand clamped onto Tang San's shoulder.

"I am taking you to the Star Dou Forest immediately."

"Listen to me well—"

He looked down at Xiao Wu, his eyes finally revealing a stern expression.

"Before you reach maturity."

"You must never come out."

Xiao Wu was stunned.

Her wrist, held in his grip, trembled slightly.

But this time, it was not out of fear.

Tang Hao's figure shot upward. His soul power surged violently. Black light exploded from beneath his feet.

"Father—"

Tang San's voice was swallowed by the wind.

Three figures soared into the sky.

The roof of Notting Academy shrank rapidly beneath their feet, turning into a small gray brick.

The wind rushed into their ears, blurring every sound.

Xiao Wu turned her head, her gaze passing over Tang Hao's broad shoulders to look at the small city growing smaller and smaller below.

Inside it was a classroom, a desk, and a boy who always sat beside her.

She opened her mouth, but her voice was torn to shreds by the wind.

"Little San—"

Tang San was beside her, held by his collar by Tang Hao, his entire body like a leaf caught in a gale.

He struggled with all his might to turn his head toward her, the anxiety in his eyes almost overflowing.

But the wind was too strong.

He could not ask anything.

Tang Hao did not look back, merely clutching the two of them as he sped toward the direction of the Star Dou Forest.

They whistled through the air.

And coincidentally, at this moment, the Sharp Critique and introduction on the Light Screen officially began.

On the Light Screen.

[As the most useless heroine in the Douluo series, Xiao Wu is undoubtedly the source of all evil.]

[Xiao Wu, real name unknown, originated from the Star Dou Forest and is a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit that transformed into a human disguise.]

[Back then, because Xiao Wu's mother, A Rou, allegedly died at the hands of Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu transformed into a human to enter the human world to gain power and information.]

[Because of this, at the age of six, she obtained a work-study student spot from somewhere unknown and arrived at Notting Academy, where she met Tang San.]

[From then on, she accompanied Tang San all the way to the end.]

This simple introduction allowed everyone to recognize Xiao Wu.

But no one expected that this girl was actually a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast transformed into a human.

While the descendants of later generations were well aware of this, for the people of the Douluo Era, it was like a raging storm.

[Douluo Era 1 Tang San]: "What? Xiao Wu, you, you are actually a Soul Beast?"

[Douluo Era 1 Tang San]: "Is, is this what you were trying to hide?"

[Douluo Era 1 Tang San]: "Impossible, Xiao Wu, how could you be a Soul Beast!"

[Douluo Era 1 Tang Hao]: "San, don't talk about it here..."

[Douluo Era 1 Bibi Dong]: "A Soul Beast? A Soft Bone Rabbit. Oh, so that's it. You little brat, are you that little animal I failed to capture back then?"

[Douluo Era 1 Bibi Dong]: "Very well, no wonder you were so agitated! You little rabbit, you just wait for This Seat. When the time comes, I will definitely skin you alive!!"

[Douluo Era 1 Xiao Wu]: "Bibi Dong, you wait too. Sooner or later, I will come back to take my revenge!"

[Douluo Era 1 Titan Giant Ape]: "Sister Xiao Wu, ignore them. I am on my way now, hurry and head toward me!"

[Douluo Era 1 Xiao Wu]: "Mm!"

[Douluo Era 2 Huo Yuhao]: "As expected, just like the legends say, she is a Soul Beast in human form?"

[Douluo Era 1 Yu Xiaogang]: "Xiao Wu is actually a Soul Beast. I was wondering, how could a Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul have innate full soul power?"

[Douluo Era 1 Yu Xiaogang]: "San, where are you all right now?"

Tang San had neither the opportunity nor the heart to respond to Yu Xiaogang.

They were currently high in the sky, and Tang San was incomparably agitated and astonished.

Douluo Era 1.

High above the sky.

Tang San gripped Xiao Wu's wrist tightly, his fingertips digging into her skin.

"Xiao Wu. Is what the Light Screen said true?"

"Answer me."

"How could you possibly be a Soul Beast?"

Xiao Wu turned her face away.

The wind ruffled the stray hairs at her temples, and her lips moved, but no sound came out.

Tang San grew anxious, his voice cracking as it squeezed from his throat: "Is there a mistake? It must be a mistake, right?"

She lowered her eyes.

Her eyelashes trembled violently.

She still did not speak.

Tang Hao carried them both as he sped along, the wind filling his sleeves.

He suddenly sighed, his voice low and deep, like sandpaper grinding against rock.

"Don't ask anymore, San."

"This girl... is indeed a Soul Beast."

Tang San froze.

Tang Hao continued, "When a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast cultivates to its peak, it can transform into a human. Unless they actively release their soul power, others cannot detect any clues."

"Only experts above the Soul Douluo level can perceive her true form."

Tang San's eyes widened bit by bit.

Tang Hao suddenly turned his head, his gaze landing on Xiao Wu's face, devoid of hostility, merely scrutinizing.

"But little girl, I didn't expect—that you also have a grudge against Bibi Dong?"

Xiao Wu's shoulders trembled.

She slowly raised her head, and in that instant, the softness in her eyes faded away, revealing a hatred tempered like cold iron.

She nodded.

"Yes."

"I came to the human world for the sole purpose of avenging my mother."

The voice was soft, yet every word sounded as if it had been ground out through clenched teeth.

Tang Hao fell silent for a moment, a sigh escaping his nostrils.

"Tang San and I also share an irreconcilable hatred with Spirit Hall."

"The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Besides, you and Tang San are close friends; who knows... you might even become family one day."

He paused, his tone deepening: "No matter how fallen I, Tang Hao, may be, I would never lay a hand on you."

Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly burned hot.

The spine that had been taut just a moment ago felt as if its bones had been pulled out, and she choked out a few words: "Thank you... Uncle Tang."

Tang San, however, gave a violent start at that moment.

He suddenly turned his head, staring fixedly at Tang Hao's profile.

"Father."

"You just said... that only a Soul Douluo could see through it?"

"Then—you knew all along that Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast?"

His voice rose, as if something were gripping his throat.

"Are you a powerhouse at the Soul Douluo level?"
