Xiao Wu's Sacrifice!

Villages near Notting City.

Beiming Lieyang, Ice Emperor, and Snow Emperor had searched for three full days, yet still had not seen a trace of that rabbit.

Ice Emperor walked along the dirt road outside the village, her golden eyes sweeping all around:

Is that rabbit really here? We've practically turned the nearby villages upside down these past few days, and we haven't even seen a single hair.

Beiming Lieyang walked in front, his gaze also sweeping steadily ahead:

She's definitely here. If she wants to get the work-study student quota for Notting Academy, she has to settle down in a nearby village and go through the proper procedures to get her recommendation qualification.

A transformed soul beast wanting to sneak into human society to get proper documentation simply cannot accomplish it without a few months of time.

There are only these few villages nearby; if she's not in this one, we'll go to the next.

If she's still not there, we'll just have to go further away, but those villages and towns already fall under the jurisdiction of other cities, which is unlikely.

Snow Emperor followed behind Beiming Lieyang: "Then let's finish searching these first. We aren't short on time right now anyway."

The three of them continued walking, and before long, at the entrance of a small village slightly farther away from Notting City, they finally spotted their target.

Beneath the old locust tree at the village entrance, a little girl wearing a pink dress and braiding a scorpion tail was carrying a small cloth bag, looking as if she were about to go out.

She still wore a hint of excitement and anticipation on her face.

Over half a year ago, she disguised herself as a wandering child and sneaked into this village, finally waiting for Spirit Hall to come and awaken martial souls for the children in the village.

She also "logically" awakened the "Soft Bone Charm Rabbit" martial soul, possessing innate full spirit power.

This work-study student recommendation certificate was her stepping stone to enter human society.

Mother, I will definitely avenge you. Xiao Wu gripped the strap of her cloth bag, her eyes slightly red as that night resurfaced in her mind.

It was the sight of her mother being killed by that woman, while she herself fled for her life.

So you're here.

A voice suddenly came from beside her.

Xiao Wu gave a violent start, stepping back defensively as her gaze swept around.

She saw a golden-haired, red-eyed teenager walking toward her, followed by two people behind him.

One was a petite figure in a green dress with twin ponytails, and the other was a tall woman with white hair and blue eyes.

So pretty... Xiao Wu subconsciously flashed this thought in her heart, but immediately grew alert again.

Feigning an innocent look, her voice was soft and sweet: "Hello, big sisters, you're so pretty. Big brother, is there something you want with me?"

Ice Emperor folded her arms, looked her up and down, and tilted her head:

Xiaoyang, is this the hundred-thousand-year rabbit you mentioned?

As soon as these words came out, all the hair on Xiao Wu's body stood on end.

The other party saw through her identity at a single glance?

Could it be... were they Title Douluo?

Suppressing her terror, she forced herself to remain calm: "What are you talking about, sister? My name is Xiao Wu, not a rabbit."

Beiming Lieyang stared at her: "Don't pretend. A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, you transformed into a human and wanted to join Notting Academy."

"Cultivating and growing at the same time, just to sneak into the human world and find the enemy who killed your mother."

Xiao Wu's pupils constricted, her voice changing pitch: "You... how do you know?!"

She retreated step by step, staring vigilantly at these three people.

Who on earth were these people??

Beiming Lieyang didn't answer this question, continuing onward:

"Instead of going to Notting Academy and ultimately becoming someone else's spare spirit ring, you might as well sacrifice to me now."

"Spare spirit ring? Sacrifice?" Xiao Wu's entire body tensed as she took two steps back, her eyes wide.

"I came to avenge my mother, I cannot possibly sacrifice myself to you!"

Her eyes rolled around as she already looked for an escape route.

"Can you run?" Ice Emperor suddenly narrowed her eyes, leaking a trace of aura.

That trace of aura made Xiao Wu's entire body turn cold: "You... you're also a soul beast? You, you aren't a human who transformed and recultivated... You're a fierce beast!"

Although her bloodline wasn't considered strong, she was still a hundred-thousand-year soul beast after all.

Soul beasts had to undergo tribulation every 100,000 years, and once they reached 100,000 years, even ordinary bloodlines would undergo some degree of transformation.

Coupled with living for a long time, she still knew a thing or two.

For a soul beast to transform into a human, they either had to abandon their cultivation and recultivate, or survive their second heavenly tribulation to become a fierce beast; only fierce beasts could take on a human form without recultivating.

That aura on Ice Emperor's body was something only a fierce beast that had survived the tribulation possessed.

"You're also a soul beast, why are you helping humans?"

Xiao Wu glared at Ice Emperor, her tone both shocked and angry.

"Hmph, Xiaoyang is someone we took a fancy to, and you aren't from our Far North."

Ice Emperor crossed her arms, her tone a matter-of-course.

She hated other humans just as much.

She just didn't hate Xiaoyang.

Snow Emperor didn't speak, her gaze fixed on Xiao Wu.

Beiming Lieyang looked at Xiao Wu: "Do you think you can get revenge? The one who killed your mother is Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, dual martial souls, Super Douluo."

"Spirit Hall also has a level-99 Demigod Qian Daoliu, six Super Douluo elders, the nine great elders of the Elder Hall are all Title Douluo, and besides that, there are quite a few who have just broken through to Title Douluo."

"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast who recultivated, what do you have to fight her with?"

Xiao Wu froze in place, as if doused by a basin of cold water.

She never expected that her mother's killer would actually be the supreme pontiff of the number one power on Douluo Continent.

The other party's faction possessed so many Title Douluo, and even Super Douluo.

This quantity made her face turn pale.

After a long silence, she finally raised her head: "Then what about you? Can you avenge my mother?"

"I can." Beiming Lieyang's tone was resolute.

"Although there is no direct conflict yet, we will cross paths sooner or later."

"Bibi Dong is a madwoman, she wants to destroy Spirit Hall, geniuses will be recruited by her."

"Those who do not submit will be hunted down by her. I want to walk in human society, and sooner or later there will be a battle between her and me."

"Why should I believe you?" Xiao Wu clenched her fists, her voice trembling.

"So many Title Douluo, plus Super Douluo, and even a Demigod, what makes you confident you can kill that fellow?"

Beiming Lieyang didn't explain much, directly raising his hand.

Void Mysterious Ice materialized between his palms, emitting a deep blue chilling light.

At the same time, a golden phantom slowly emerged behind his back.

Two phantoms, one ice and one fire, one cold and one hot, hovered behind him simultaneously as four pitch-black spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, slowly revolving around him.

"I am also dual martial souls."

Xiao Wu was stunned.

Dual martial souls... all black spirit rings...

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, she had seen ten thousand human spirit masters if she'd seen one, and she had never seen a first spirit ring that was black.

"Sacrifice to me, and you still have a chance for revenge."

"If you don't sacrifice, I will kill you and I can still obtain the spirit ring and spirit bone."

Xiao Wu trembled all over.

She looked at Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor standing behind Beiming Lieyang:

"Who... who are the fierce beasts by your side?"

"Snow Mom is Far North Master Snow Emperor, Ice Aunt is one of the Far North Three Heavenly Kings, Ice Emperor."

Xiao Wu's body stiffened completely.

Far North Master... Ice Emperor...

She finally understood why these two could see through her identity at a single glance.

Even though she had lived in Star Dou Great Forest for a long time, she had heard of the reputation of the Far North Master.

"What... what on earth is going on with you guys?"

"How could the Far North Master be together with humans?"

"Xiaoyang is a child I adopted."

Hearing Snow Emperor's calm words, Xiao Wu finally understood everything.

So that was how it was.

Mother...

Tears welled in Xiao Wu's eyes. According to what this fellow said, it was completely impossible for her to avenge her mother.

This human, this human.

By his side were also the Far North Master and the Far North Three Heavenly Kings.

Dual martial souls.

And a terrifying spirit ring configuration.

She lowered her head, falling silent for a long time, her clenched fists slowly loosening.

"You... I hope... you keep your word."

Xiao Wu raised her head, tears at the corners of her eyes, but her tone had already settled.

Only like this, only like this, could she avenge her mother.

The light of sacrifice rose from her body, enveloping her entire person.

Her body began to grow transparent, turning into points of light inch by inch as they converged toward Beiming Lieyang.
