Intimidating the Titan Giant Ape!

Despite the mask obscuring her face, Zhu Zhuqing's previously suicidal thoughts suddenly came back to life the moment she saw this person.

Is it him...?

Although Zhu Zhuqing was asking, she had already made up her mind.

At this moment, besides him, there was also him... Who would risk their life? Who would be so shameless as to tell you, "I saved your life, your life is mine, you're not allowed to die without my permission?"

Fortunately... it was only him!

·····

The sudden turn of events startled everyone at Shrek. They all looked up, then squinted in shock—it was dazzling, absolutely dazzling!

After a while, everyone saw the beam of light in mid-air begin to slowly descend.

"Zhu Zhuqing!"

Ning Rongrong was the first to notice something was wrong; someone had hugged Zhu Zhuqing, and this person...

Dressed in a magnificent golden robe, with a Halo Mask covering his face, he appeared utterly sacred.

Of course, what's strange isn't this person's odd attire, but rather the powerful aura he exudes, which actually overpowers the Titan Giant Ape!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!

Just then, a series of rapid, panting breaths suddenly rang out.

Zhao Wuji rushed over, and when he saw the situation before him, he did not hesitate at all. He suppressed the discomfort in his body and raised his hands in salute.

"S-senpai!"

"Thank you so much for your help, senior. I, Zhao Wuji, will definitely bring our dean to express my gratitude upon returning to the Shrek Academy!"

Xu Nian'an didn't even turn her head when she heard this.

Shrek Academy?

Did you come to my door to express your gratitude?

He was sorry, but he really didn't intend to save the other Shrek Academy students.

It's just that Zhu Zhuqing was there; otherwise, Xu Nian'an wouldn't have given the others a second glance.

If she didn't want to save them, she simply didn't want to. Although the other Shrek Academy students were saved by accident, Xu Nian'an refused to accept the gift.

"I'm not here to save you."

In her arms, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly opened her eyes.

He means...

"So... so Senior means you came specifically to rescue Zhu Zhuqing?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

Whoosh!

In Xu Nian'an's arms, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed bright red.

The tips of her ears turned red.

Its small body began to wriggle restlessly.

"What, am I really that hard for you to present something?"

Zhu Zhuqing stiffened in his arms.

Carefully raising her head, from this distance and from this angle, Zhu Zhuqing saw a pair of eyes as bright as stars beneath the Halo Mask.

Eternal, solitary, and unparalleled in its dominance...!

These were eyes that seemed to transcend all living beings.

In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.

Zhu Zhuqing originally thought that the person behind the mask was someone with a childish temper, a cynical attitude, and a penchant for making trouble.

But judging from this situation, something's not right.

Hoo hoo hoo!!!!

Just then, a series of angry roars resounded!

The enraged Titan Giant Ape glared at the humans before it, realizing it had almost been knocked over by its own force.

And the culprit is this man!

Despite the Titan Giant Ape's roar, Xu Nian'an remained unfazed, holding the person in his arms tightly.

But his aura suddenly changed.

Buzz~!!!

Red! Red! Red! Red! Gold! Gold! Gold!!!

Five reds and three golds, Eight-Ring Soul Douluo!

Before him, the Dragon Emperor Sword seemed to sense its master's emotions and instantly began to change its form.

The moment the dragon mark on Xu Nian'an's forehead was illuminated, the Dragon Emperor Sword began to take shape, becoming a lifelike Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

At the same time, Xu Nian'an's physical form also underwent many changes, the most obvious being that his hands had been Dragon Transformation.

Chant!!!!

"Leave, or... die!"

In an instant, a powerful pressure emanated from Xu Nian'an and spread out in all directions.

Thump thump... bang!

The Titan Giant Ape hurriedly retreated, feeling an immense threat piercing its very core.

It had a feeling that if it really fought with the human in front of it, it... would die!

At that very moment, in the forest behind Xu Nian'an, a large group of people were quietly waiting.

If the Titan Giant Ape dares to act recklessly, today will be its day of reckoning!

"Human... you better not be with them, otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I'll... fight you to the death!"

With its massive size and powerful senses, the Titan Giant Ape naturally saw the Great Ming Empire's people behind it.

Ultimately, faced with humans who were clearly far stronger than itself, the Titan Giant Ape had no choice but to back down.

"I have no connection with the Spirit Hall."

The Titan Giant Ape gave Xu Nian'an a deep look, then slowly retreated, its speed increasing rapidly until it disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

They quickly chased after the direction in which the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Xiao Wu were being pursued.

"The soul Soul Beast... it's speaking!"

"This Titan Giant Ape Soul Beast possesses intelligence clearly on par with humans, and it can even speak... Could it be that its actual lifespan has reached...!"

"One hundred thousand years!"

Three words involuntarily arose in the minds of everyone present!

Yet, this powerful Soul Beast, the king of the forest for ten thousand years, was actually intimidated and forced to retreat by the one before him...

However, upon seeing the Soul Ring on this person's body, everyone at Shrek fell silent.

Zhu Zhuqing was also shocked and covered her mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that Xu Nian'an's identity was not simple; he was probably Soul Master like herself, possessing considerable strength.

But she never expected that Xu Nian'an would be so powerful.

"Receive!"

Xu Nian'an raised his hand, and his Soul Ring and Martial Soul returned to his body.

"Now, can we get down?"

Upon hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback, and then quickly jumped off Xu Nian'an.

"So handsome, so incredibly handsome!"

"He can charm women with one hand and intimidate a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with the other—he's practically my dream idol!"

A disheveled Ma Hongjun looked at Xu Nian'an with envy.

"Wait a minute, why does this person seem so familiar? Have I seen him somewhere before?"

Oscar pondered deeply, feeling a strange sense of familiarity about Xu Nian'an.

Dai Mubai's face was grim, his fists clenched tightly together. He... he was Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, what did it mean for him to be hugging and cuddling with someone like this?

Dai Mubai felt his green hat was getting bigger and bigger.

Ning Rongrong looked at Xu Nian'an's reclaimed Martial Soul and Soul Ring, as well as the Halo Mask on his face and the dragon patterns faintly shimmering on his golden robe, and slowly fell into deep thought.

"I have to go now."

Looking in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had left, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes, took one last look at Zhu Zhuqing, and then his figure transformed into a golden light and disappeared.

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, extended her hand, as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

···

In the first place, Xu Nian'an shouldn't have stopped to save the Shrek members.

However, with Zhu Zhuqing present, Xu Nian'an stopped.

Now, the real show is just beginning.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is Auspicious Beast, equivalent to a chosen one among humans, and this chosen one is related to the development of the Star Dou Forest over the next ten thousand years.

If he gets captured by the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall, or dies at their hands, then this will be quite a show.

Beast Tide is inevitable in the Star Dou Forest. Xu Nian'an is curious whether the Ferocious Beast will awaken ahead of schedule, which would make Douluo Continent quite lively!

It seems that the current strength of human Soul Master in the Douluo Continent is barely enough to withstand the onslaught of Ferocious Beast.
