Tang Hao came to Xiao Wu's side.
In fact, Xiao Wu had been awake for a long time. She had been pretending to be asleep the whole time and was now curled up and trembling.
This naturally couldn't be hidden from Tang Hao.
Tang Hao said in a deep voice, "No need to pretend anymore, get up now that you're awake."
Xiao Wu suppressed her fear, slowly sat up, looked at Tang San who was still unconscious on the ground, and said with forced composure, "Thank you!"
Tang Hao waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. From a Soul Master's perspective, I should imprison you and kill you when Xiao San needs you, then give him your Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu trembled, her face turning deathly pale.
But Tang Hao changed the subject, continuing, "But I don't intend to do that."
Xiao Wu suddenly looked up at Tang Hao, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Tang Hao said, "Your necklace is a Soul Tool that I found that can conceal one's aura. I just gave it to you through Tang San."
Xiao Wu was filled with mixed emotions upon hearing this. Did the Xiao San already know my identity? What exactly is their purpose?
Why did you do that?
"Because of the Xiao San's special feelings for you," Tang Hao said.
Xiao Wu lowered her head, unsure of what to say. Her mind was in turmoil; she didn't know whether to believe the other person.
Tang Hao said, "You should leave. Staying by Xiao San's side will only do him harm."
Xiao Wu was overjoyed, but she didn't show it. She simply asked softly, "Could I wait until Third Brother wakes up before I leave?"
Tang Hao shook his head. "No, let's go back to where you belong. Otherwise, you'll face endless pursuit. When Xiao San becomes powerful in the future, he'll naturally come looking for you."
Xiao Wu bit her lip and glanced at Tang San, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
Then she stood up, nodded vigorously, sprang into the air, and disappeared into the dense forest in a few leaps.
Tang Hao stood there, watching Xiao Wu's figure disappear, and could no longer hold on.
He swayed, spat out another mouthful of blood, and collapsed forward.
Tang Xiao shocked. Without asking about Xiao Wu, he rushed forward and caught Tang Hao.
Tang Hao's breathing was disordered, like a candle that could be blown out at any moment.
Tang Xiao placed his palm on Tang Hao's chest and back, probed with his Soul Power, and his expression instantly darkened.
Tang Hao's meridians were in complete disarray, and his internal organs suffered varying degrees of damage. The residual energy from the Ring Detonation was rampaging through his body.
Tang Xiao dared not delay, and immediately sat down cross-legged, placing his palms on Tang Hao's back, and slowly smoothing out the disordered meridians in Tang Hao's body.
On the other side, Xiao Wu, who had run a distance, saw that no one was chasing her from behind, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart.
She leaned against a large tree, bent over, panting heavily. Her legs were weak, her hands were trembling, and she was covered in cold sweat.
That was clearly a reaction of nerves being stretched to their limit and then suddenly relaxing.
"Finally safe... that was close..."
Xiao Wu muttered to herself, raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and glanced back with lingering fear.
"I never imagined that I'd been hiding a Titled Douluo by my side all along," Xiao Wu murmured, her tone tinged with a mixture of lingering fear and relief.
But thinking of Tang San, a sense of melancholy washed over him.
"What a pity!" Xiao Wu shook her head vigorously, shaking off those distracting thoughts. "The human world is too dangerous. I'd better go find Da Ming Er Ming, and never come out again!"
Xiao Wu took a deep breath, preparing to continue her journey, when suddenly, an extremely dangerous intuition struck her from behind.
As Soul Beast, her body hair stood on end instantly, as if she wanted to spring into the air.
But Xiao Wu was a beat too slow; a figure had already appeared in front of her.
He was an elderly man with white hair and beard, lean and wiry, wearing a dark blue robe, and a slight smile on his lips.
It was Zhu Chengfeng.
Xiao Wu's pupils contracted sharply. Before she could even utter a sound, she felt a numbness in the back of her neck, her vision went black, her legs went weak, and she fell forward.
Zhu Chengfeng reached out and caught the limp Xiao Wu, hoisting her onto his shoulder.
Without pausing, he turned and sped off towards the southwest. With the Nether Civet Martial Soul possessing him, his speed reached its limit.
Zhu Chengfeng's figure was like a dark blue streak of light, rushing towards Star Luo City, a faint smile always on his lips.
They intercepted the Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast right under Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's noses, completing the mission cleanly and efficiently.
The next day arrived.
The final championship match of this year's Soul Master Tournament is about to begin.
In the morning, Dai Mubai and all the members of the Second Team arrived at the Papal Palace Square in top condition.
After a night of emergency repairs, the Papal Palace Square, which was ravaged yesterday, has been completely restored, and the collapsed stands have been rebuilt. Overnight, it has regained its former solemnity and smoothness.
When Dai Mubai entered the plaza, the members of the Spirit Hall Academy Team were already lined up and waiting.
To Dai Mubai's astonishment, standing at the very front of the Spirit Hall Academy Team was none other than Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue has regained her true appearance, wearing a golden palace dress, with long golden hair like Dai Mubai, snow-white skin, a straight nose, and imposing phoenix eyes.
She stood there, radiating an innate nobility and aloofness, as if all the light in the square was converging on her.
Dai Mubai wondered to himself: Is this the reason why the Spirit Hall still dares to offer three Soul Bone as a championship reward?
With a Soul Emperor in charge and three Soul King, coupled with the instantaneous Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Demon Charm," it must be said that their strength on paper is indeed beyond question.
He glanced discreetly at the VIP section, where he saw another Xue Qinghe sitting, presumably Qian Renxue's stand-in.
Honestly, aren't you afraid of being exposed? Why bother?
Even if you, Qian Renxue, were to take action, how much combat power could you possibly unleash with a group of scheming and uncoordinated teammates?
Besides, your opponent is me Dai Mubai!
Dai Mubai withdrew his gaze, walked to a spot not far from Qian Renxue, waved to her, and gave her a handsome smile, saying, "Miss Qian Xue, it's been a while since we parted ways at Broken Cliff Mountain. I just didn't expect you to be from the Spirit Hall."
The name " Qian Xue " was given to him by Qian Renxue Qian Renxue when he encountered her during the suppression of the Wolf Bandits.
Qian Renxue her eyes at Dai Mubai, her tone cold. " Third Prince, how have you been? We're opponents today, so don't expect me to show mercy."
"Haha, Miss Qian Xue is quite confident. Show me what you've got, and I won't hold back."
Dai Mubai waved his hand, smiling calmly.
"After all, the champion gets three Soul Bone as a reward, and our Star Luo Royal Academy is determined to win. Don't get angry if you lose!"
Unlike Bibi Dong, the Angel Clan at least have some sense of dignity, Dai Mubai naturally laid out the unpleasant truths upfront.
