Restart: First Encounter with Xiao Wu's Family

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest, core region.

Two deeply devoted Hundred-Thousand-Year rabbits eventually gave birth to an adorable, soft little rabbit. This lovely little rabbit drank the water of Life Lake every day, and her cultivation steadily grew stronger.

Once she had steadily reached a Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation, she transformed into human form alongside her parents. The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape each congratulated Xiao Wu's family on successfully taking human form.

Until one day, a group of uninvited guests suddenly and ruthlessly barged into this place.

Spirit Hall's Holy Son—Qian Daoliu—had brought Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Guangling Douluo, Qianjun Douluo, and Devil Subduing Douluo, a full five Titled Douluo, to help him hunt and obtain his ninth Soul Ring.

"Ferocious Golden Crocodile!"

"Azure-Sky Cloud-Sea Sound-Dust Severance!"

"End Realm!"

"Thousand Jun Throw!"

"Demon-Subduing Coiling Dragon Ring!"

The five Titled Douluo used their respective soul skills and successfully held back the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.

Even after using Invincible Golden Body, Xiao Wu's parents could not withstand Azure Luan Douluo's vacuum-type skill. Coupled with the suppression and weakening of Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain, the two of them were already struggling somewhat against Qian Daoliu.

To protect his wife and daughter, Wu Tianjiao resolutely stepped forward to face the enemy alone.

"Wei'er, take Xiao Wu and get out of here!"

Tu Yunwei struggled in agony, but for the sake of their child, she ultimately fled the area in tears with Xiao Wu.

"If I do not enter hell, then who will?"

Wu Tianjiao knew that this group's goal was to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, so he was not worried about the safety of the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. He had already prepared to sacrifice himself.

Just as he was about to perish together with Qian Daoliu, a spatial rift suddenly appeared out of nowhere. In the next instant, two figures burst from the rift. They were none other than Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin.

Huo Yuhao looked coldly at the six members of Spirit Hall. "This is not a place you should be. Leave at once!"

Tang Wulin immediately emitted the oppressive aura of the God of Destruction, while Huo Yuhao released the suffocating pressure of the God of Emotions. The bodies of the six Spirit Hall members could not help but tremble.

As for why they did not release the aura and pressure of the Golden Dragon King and Dragon God, it was naturally because they feared disturbing the Silver Dragon King—Gu Yuena—and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King—Di Tian—who were sleeping and recuperating beneath Life Lake.

Guangling Douluo, who had been preparing a sneak attack, suddenly felt a chill run through his body. Despite being skilled in the ice element, he was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture by Huo Yuhao.

Tang Wulin warned, "If you don't want to die, leave now."

Qian Daoliu snorted coldly before finally gritting his teeth and leaving with the other five. As a result, the ninth Soul Ring he acquired granted him an unsatisfactory black ten-thousand-year soul skill.

From then on, Qian Daoliu had only one goal in mind: becoming a god. This goal also coincided with Bo Saixi's wishes. Thus, from beginning to end, becoming a god was Qian Daoliu's only objective.

Only after he underwent Angel's Nine Trials did he finally change that goal and instead follow the will of the Angel God.

Wu Tianjiao repeatedly expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin for saving him. Afterward, he successfully reunited with his family—Tu Yunwei and Xiao Wu.

After learning what had happened, Xiao Wu could not help asking, "We don't know each other. Why did you two risk yourselves to save us?"

Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin exchanged smiles and answered together in perfect understanding, "Because we are also humans transformed from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Isn't it only natural for our kind to help one another?"

A massive phantom of an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion abruptly emerged behind Huo Yuhao. It was clearly Ice Empress's true form at a Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation.

Tang Wulin scratched his head. "I won't release my Golden Dragon King true form. I'm afraid of disturbing my wife while she rests."

Anyone who could live and rest in the Star Dou Great Forest was naturally a Soul Beast. Therefore, Xiao Wu's family tacitly believed Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin's claim that they were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Wu Tianjiao burst out laughing. "Looks like you're completely henpecked."

Tu Yunwei pinched the flesh at Wu Tianjiao's waist. "What? Aren't you?"

Wu Tianjiao immediately begged for mercy. "Ah—ow, ow, ow—yes, yes, I am too! I'm henpecked too! Dear wife, please spare me."

Only then did Tu Yunwei release him, her face full of satisfaction. "That's more like it."

Rubbing his waist, Wu Tianjiao said, "From now on, whoever likes our Xiao Wu must be henpecked too. And he must pass my tests and evaluation, or else he can forget about running off with my daughter."

Tang Wulin chuckled. "We'll help too. Whoever dares bully Xiao Wu, Brother Yuhao and I will be the first to object."

Huo Yuhao raised a brow. "Uncle and Auntie, your standards for choosing a son-in-law should be stricter. Otherwise, Xiao Wu could easily be bullied."

Wu Tianjiao patted his chest. "I'll definitely screen them strictly and make sure nothing slips through."

Xiao Wu's pretty face flushed red. "Isn't it a little too early to be talking about this?"

The corners of Huo Yuhao's lips suddenly curled up, revealing a strange smile. "I have a plan."

After hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Tang Wulin, Xiao Wu, Wu Tianjiao, and Tu Yunwei all raised their brows slightly and looked at Huo Yuhao with odd expressions.

Tang Wulin immediately gave him a thumbs-up. "As expected of Brother Yuhao. You're really smart. How did I not think of that?"

Xiao Wu said helplessly, "Isn't this difficulty level a little too high?"

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. "I've experienced hell-level difficulty before. So this is already very easy."

Wu Tianjiao gave a light cough. "Mercy toward others is cruelty toward oneself."

Tang Wulin chimed in, "As the saying goes, only those who endure the bitterest hardships can rise above others."

Tu Yunwei smiled. "And he must also learn how to comb our Xiao Wu's hair."

Time flew by like an arrow, and the sun and moon sped past like a shuttle.

Tang San finally turned six and successfully awakened his martial soul and Soul Power.

After persuading Tang Hao, he came to Nuoding Academy with Village Chief Jack.

Just as Tang San and Old Jack were arguing with the gate guard at the entrance of Nuoding Academy, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

"What are you arguing about here?"

Tang San turned around at the sound and saw Xiao Wu arrive early with Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, and Xiao Wu's parents.

Just as the two of them said back then, they really did save Xiao Wu's parents without incident, Tang San thought.

Wu Tianjiao frowned. "Xiao Wu, are you sure you want to attend this kind of academy?"

Xiao Wu touched her lips and hesitated. "The gate guard actually won't let students enter. That really does show this academy isn't much good. Hmm... then let's look for somewhere else."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu turned around and left. Tang San hurriedly chased after her.
