Raw Strength Is Great

Su Ge burst forth at full speed, racing after the Titan Giant Ape!

The Soul Beasts he encountered along the way sensed his aura from afar and quickly avoided him. Not a single foolish Soul Beast dared block his path.

Only after Su Ge crossed a hill did he finally spot the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu atop a small hill not far away!

"Su... Su Ge?"

Hearing the commotion, both the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu turned toward Su Ge at the same time.

When Xiao Wu saw who had arrived, she visibly froze. She looked at him, then at Er Ming beside her, and panic flashed across her face.

"Su Ge, actually..."

"Xiao Wu, you really aren't human!"

The panic on Xiao Wu's face froze, replaced by utter shock.

"Roar!"

"Human!"

After hearing Su Ge's words, Er Ming continuously swung his arms and pounded his chest, producing deep booming impacts like muffled thunder.

Su Ge's figure was reflected in his eyes as he roared and raised a fist to smash down at him!

"Competing with me in strength?"

Watching the Titan Giant Ape leap high into the air, Su Ge grinned.

His current combat strength was probably comparable to that of a Soul Douluo, but in a contest of pure strength, he dared to clash even with the Titan Giant Ape!

Su Ge lowered his body slightly. Four soul rings—purple, purple, black, and black—appeared around him.

First Soul Skill, Suanni Transformation!

Third and Fourth Soul Skills, Heartsteel!

Domination Domain!

His golden hair danced wildly under the explosive surge of his Soul Power, making him appear unrestrained and arrogant. A layer of leg armor condensed from Soul Power formed around his right leg.

His entire aura reached its peak in an instant!

Facing Er Ming's hands clenched into hammers as they came crashing down, he kicked upward without the slightest fear!

"Er Ming, stop!"

Just as the two were about to collide head-on, Xiao Wu's voice rang out. Er Ming instinctively pulled back some of the force from his overwhelmingly powerful strike.

Bang!

A dull collision echoed out. Feeling the Titan Giant Ape's immense strength, a fervent light flashed in Su Ge's eyes as he unleashed the power within his body without restraint!

This human's strength—this is bad!

Er Ming had originally intended to kill him. After all, Su Ge had exposed the fact that Xiao Wu was not human. Even though he had held back some strength, it was still not something a human Soul Ancestor could withstand.

Yet this human Soul Ancestor had not only taken the blow, but the force transmitted from him was not the least bit inferior to Er Ming's own!

Just as he exerted his full strength, a violent fluctuation of energy erupted from where they clashed. Alarm surged in his heart, but he had no time to react further.

"Burst!"

With Su Ge's low shout, a fierce force erupted and continuously spread along his fist, ravaging Er Ming's body!

This human Soul Ancestor's attack had actually broken through the defense Er Ming had always taken pride in and directly affected his body!

Er Ming had no choice but to retreat, using the backward motion to dissipate the force within him.

He finally retreated to Xiao Wu's side and watched Su Ge with a wary expression. The mighty aura of the king of the forest swept through the surroundings, startling countless Soul Beasts into fleeing in all directions!

Su Ge also retreated after the strike, dissipating the force while in midair before lightly landing on the branch of a great tree.

Xiao Wu's mouth hung open as she watched the scene with utter disbelief.

Su Ge had actually exchanged a blow with Er Ming, who specialized in strength, and even seemed evenly matched?!

Even though she knew Er Ming had not used his full strength, what Soul Ancestor could possibly trade blows with him?

"Su Ge, are you a Soul Beast too?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Su Ge was first taken aback, then laughed.

"Though it is indeed hard to believe, I am not a transformed Soul Beast. I am a genuine human."

He raised a hand and looked at the immense strength filling his body after Martial Soul Possession. An overbearing air shone from his golden eyes as the pressure of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff spread around him.

"It's just that my Martial Soul is rather special, so I'm simply strong."

Xiao Wu stared into Su Ge's eyes. The domineering presence they revealed made even her want to lower her head, but she still took a deep breath and asked, "When did you discover that I wasn't human?"

"When we met at Nuoding Academy. And I wasn't the only one who discovered it."

Since they were speaking frankly now, Su Ge did not hide much. After withdrawing his Martial Soul Possession, he sat cross-legged atop the tree, his voice carrying outward through Soul Power.

"How did you find out? And besides you, who else knows?"

Er Ming stepped forward and pressed the question. If Sister Xiao Wu's identity was so easily exposed, then he absolutely could not let her return to danger!

"How I found out isn't important. In short, my Martial Soul is rather special and relatively sensitive to the aura of Soul Beasts. Among humans, I am practically an exception, so you need not worry about that."

"Besides me, there is one other person who knows your identity: Tang San's father."

"Tang San's father?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Xiao Wu's face. Could Tang San's father possibly be a Title Douluo?

"Tang San's father is the current Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao."

"..."

Xiao Wu fell silent. Extremely complicated emotions flashed through her eyes as countless guesses surfaced in her mind.

After a moment, she looked at Su Ge again.

"Then why haven't either of you made a move?"

"I would not attack one of my own, and your soul ring is not suitable for me."

"As for Tang Hao, I do not know. However, his wife, Tang San's mother, was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and the emperor of the Blue Silver Clan."

"But she ultimately sacrificed herself to Tang Hao and became his ninth soul ring."

Su Ge neither embellished the story nor fed Xiao Wu any biased or leading words. He merely repeated the objective facts.

Yet because Xiao Wu had gradually come to understand the difference between humans and Soul Masters under Su Ge's influence, she was not as naive and willful as she had been in the original story. Instead, she had gained a measure of prudence and thoughtfulness.

Thus, after Su Ge finished speaking, Xiao Wu fell silent again. Er Ming also said nothing beside her, because he was now somewhat unable to make sense of what was happening.

"Can I still trust you?"

"I do not covet your soul ring. I believe six years have been enough to answer that."

"If Tang Hao attacks me, would you be willing to help me?"

"Give it some more time, and I think he should no longer be my match."

"Alright. Er Ming, you should go. I'll return with Su Ge."

After receiving Su Ge's answer, Xiao Wu smiled again. However, compared to before, this smile carried a little more relief and ease.

The way she looked at Su Ge had also changed in some indescribable way.
