Xiao Wu Is a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformed

During the time you waited for a reply from your family, you did not reveal anything unusual, continuing to act as you always had.

It was also at this time that Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang—revered by others as the Grandmaster—arrived at Shrek Academy and became your instructor, responsible for guiding your cultivation.

The moment he laid eyes on you, Yu Xiaogang could not wait to have you release your spirit rings. He wanted to witness your spirit ring configuration with his own eyes, as it completely defied his theories. To Yu Xiaogang, who was incredibly arrogant regarding his own research, this was inconceivable, even worthy of skepticism.

"Release your martial soul and let me see."

There was no other expression on Yu Xiaogang's rigid face, only focus and doubt.

At Yu Xiaogang's request, Yu Tianjue subconsciously frowned.

Although Yu Xiaogang's tone and demands were somewhat stiff, Yu Tianjue did not say much, merely summoning the Asura Demon Sword.

A giant, scarlet sword appeared abruptly in Yu Tianjue's hand.

Accompanying the appearance of the Asura Demon Sword, four spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—surpassed the optimal configuration and emerged clearly.

Despite having seen them before, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others still felt immense shock, and Yu Xiaogang's expression turned to one of utter disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

Yu Xiaogang blurted this out almost instinctively; his fists clenched tightly, and his rigid face even twitched twice.

Yu Xiaogang could not believe that what he was seeing was real—the yellow, purple, purple, and black rings seemed to mock him in silence, ridiculing his years of theoretical research as nothing more than a joke.

"What's impossible about it? Brother Tianjue is a peerless genius; just because ordinary people can't do it doesn't mean Brother Tianjue can't!"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but retort, but Yu Xiaogang ignored her, staring fixedly at the giant sword in Yu Tianjue's hand, his voice hoarse:

"What is your martial soul?"

"Asura Sword."

Yu Tianjue's reply was swift, but his attention was not on Yu Xiaogang.

From the moment he released his martial soul, he had been intentionally or unintentionally observing Xiao Wu, and sure enough, he saw a trace of unnaturalness in her eyes.

Especially when she saw the black spirit ring on his body, the look in Xiao Wu's eyes appeared particularly awkward.

"Asura Sword? I've never heard of such a martial soul... What is your innate spirit power?"

Yu Tianjue hid his inner suspicions, his expression calm, but he did not answer Yu Xiaogang's question.

Instead, Xiao Wu, having noticed the thoughtful and eager look in Tang San's eyes, spoke up: "I want to know, how did you resolve the issue of soul shock?"

"Soul shock?"

Neither Tang San nor the Grandmaster had ever heard this term, and they asked almost in unison: "Soul shock? What is that?"

"Soul shock is a special ability generated by high-level spirit beasts after they die, before their souls have dissipated. Only beasts over ten thousand years old possess it. Generally speaking, absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring requires at least level fifty spirit power. Upon reaching level fifty, a spirit master's functions have reached a certain level, and their mental strength has grown to a certain range. But even so, when absorbing a ten-thousand-year ring, one must still endure the mental impact of the beast's remnant soul. If one's spirit power is insufficient and their mental strength is lacking, they cannot withstand this soul impact; their soul will be shattered, and they will be turned into an idiot."

Xiao Wu's explanation was extremely detailed; not only was she questioning Yu Tianjue, but she was also trying to use this method to dispel the idea Tang San had in his mind.

Hearing this, Yu Tianjue took a deep look at Xiao Wu.

He had, of course, experienced soul shock when absorbing ten-thousand-year rings; at the time, he had nearly been reduced to an idiot by that mental impact.

But such a secret could never be known by an ordinary person.

Even a master of theoretical knowledge like Yu Xiaogang was unaware of soul shock because he only had level twenty-nine spirit power and had never absorbed a ten-thousand-year ring.

If Xiao Wu were truly an ordinary person, how could she possibly know?

At this moment, Yu Tianjue finally concluded that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form.

Only a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast could have such an understanding of spirit beasts. All his previous doubts were finally answered.

Yu Tianjue let out a long breath, but he did not rush to act.

Even if he said Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast now, without Spirit Douluos or Title Douluos nearby, they might not necessarily believe him.

Moreover, a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form... it was better not to let the news leak if it could be avoided.

He would wait until the Sect Master and his grandfather arrived before making plans.

Soon, having received the message, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong rushed over.

With just a single glance, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were able to confirm that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast. And at the arrival of Chen Xin and Gu Rong, Xiao Wu also displayed a look of panicked terror.

She knew her identity had been exposed. No one would protect her, not even Tang San, who had sworn to protect her for the rest of his life.

But to her surprise, even though her identity had been revealed, Tang San did not retreat in the slightest, choosing to stand firmly in front of Xiao Wu. However, he was the only one standing before her.

Having just entered Shrek Academy and not yet experienced much together, the group had not built deep bonds. Suddenly learning that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, especially having her identity exposed by your and Ning Rongrong's elders, caused Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun to hesitate immediately.

Just as Chen Xin and Gu Rong intended to forcibly take Xiao Wu away, Tang San's father, Tang Hao, suddenly appeared before Tang San.

You were shocked by Tang San's identity, but equally shocked by the resolve of Sect Master Ning Fengzhi and your grandfather—in their eyes, you, with your innate level twenty spirit power, were destined to suppress an era and stand at the pinnacle of the continent, perhaps even achieving a supreme godhood. To achieve all this, a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was indispensable.

Even when facing the renowned Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao, they showed no intention of backing down, determined to take Xiao Wu away.

You did not know that Tang Hao was currently suffering from old injuries and could not exert his full strength. After the two sides stood in a standoff for a time, Tang Hao ultimately chose to retreat, forcibly taking Tang San, who still wanted to protect Xiao Wu, with him.

The hundred-thousand-year transformed spirit beast, Xiao Wu, was ultimately taken back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong.
