Di Tian Was Speechless; Yu Xiaogang: I'll Fight Bibi Dong!

[Five years later, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, Saintess Hu Liena, and dozens of Red Cardinals led a party into the Star Dou Forest to hunt Xiao Wu.]

[After the Soul Master Tournament finals, Xiao Wu had used the Immortal Herb Lovesick Heartbreak Red to conceal her identity, only for it to be exposed by accident: she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit transformed into a human.]

[This time, Spirit Hall was determined to capture her.]

???

Everyone was stunned!

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

"And one that's transformed into a human?"

Greed had already surfaced in the eyes of many Soul Masters.

After all, capturing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the forest and capturing one in the human world were as different as heaven and earth!

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was guaranteed to yield a Soul Bone, and it came with two abilities.

That was enough to drive any Titled Douluo mad!

Chrysanthemum Douluo saw it and said:

"Old Ghost, do you see that? A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"We'll finally earn ourselves a great reward this time, won't we?"

Meanwhile, at Spirit Hall.

When Bibi Dong saw that Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Looks like I'll have to go myself. That Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast will be mine!"

She immediately summoned Hu Liena:

"Nana, you're coming with me this time."

"Yes, Teacher!"

Seeing that she had become a saintess on the Sky Curtain, Hu Liena was secretly beside herself with joy.

Despite losing the match, she hadn't been punished by her teacher. Warmth filled her heart. She had to perform well this time.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao and the others had only just set out from Shrek Academy.

As the Sky Curtain revealed her identity, Xiao Wu's pretty face turned deathly pale, and she trembled.

Everyone was looking at her.

Now that they know I'm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, what will they think of me? Will they still treat me the same?

Or will they covet my Soul Bone too?

As Xiao Wu sank into fear,

Tang San took her hand.

"Xiao Wu, no matter what you are, you'll always be my little sister."

Tears spilled from Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Third Brother, I'm so glad I have you!"

The other Shrek Seven Devils smiled too.

"Xiao Wu, what are you afraid of? What does it matter whether you're a rabbit or a human?"

"You'll always be one of the Shrek Seven Devils."

Tang Hao spoke calmly then.

"Don't worry. I saw long ago that you were a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Tang San's mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who transformed into a human too."

"So you're not the only one!"

"With me and Little San here, no one in this world will lay a finger on you!"

At Tang Hao's words,

and the grief on Clear Sky Douluo's face,

everyone present was stunned.

Clearly, Clear Sky Douluo had a story.

Tang San was even more dumbfounded.

My mother was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast too?

But this was no time to ask about the past.

Tang Hao said gravely, "What matters now is finding Dugu Bo, getting the Immortal Herbs, and growing stronger!"

In the Star Dou Great Forest,

Di Tian saw that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had transformed and gone to live among humans. He smashed a giant tree with one palm!

"How is my Star Dou Great Forest any worse than the human world?"

"Why do all these transformed Soul Beasts run off to live among humans?"

"Can't they learn from me and Master and devote themselves to reviving the Soul Beast Clan?"

Bi Ji's face was filled with confusion too!

Those not of our kind would never share our hearts!

Had that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit lost her mind?

Outside the Lake of Life,

Er Ming the Titan Giant Ape paced in frantic circles.

"Da Ming, we've got news of Sister Xiao Wu. I'm going to find her."

Nearby, Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, said calmly:

"I'll go with you, but we need to be careful along the way."

"If human Soul Masters discover us, powerful fighters could surround us!"

"We must hide our auras and wait for the best moment to act!"

Er Ming nodded. "I'll follow your lead, Da Ming!"

[Yet Saintess Hu Liena developed feelings for Tang San while he was disguised under another identity, Tang Yin.]

[She let Tang Yin remain with the party hunting Xiao Wu.]

[Even though Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo could use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Two Forms Stillness Domain, which froze the space within it and left enemies completely unable to move,]

[and could even immobilize the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts who came to rescue Xiao Wu—the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python—]

[they ultimately lost the initiative, and the hunt failed.]

[In the end, Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for Tang San. The two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts who came to rescue her, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, sacrificed themselves for Tang San too.]

[Not long afterward, Tang San, having grown powerful through cultivation, schemed Gui Mei to his death.]

[Chrysanthemum Douluo broke down. His good brother Gui Mei had died just like that!]

What was going on now?

As the story unfolded, everyone was baffled all over again.

What did it mean, Tang San had disguised himself and charmed the saintess?

Someone like that could be a saintess?

Her head was full of romance!

Chrysanthemum Douluo had it rough, saddled with a saintess like her.

And what did it mean, three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had sacrificed themselves for Tang San?

He had even schemed a Super Douluo to death?

Tang San was far too devious.

This was exactly how a Child of Destiny was treated!

The many Titled Douluo, meanwhile, focused on that Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The Two Forms Stillness Domain could actually immobilize two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

If they ever faced Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, they would have to interrupt their Martial Soul Fusion Skill before it took effect!

At Heaven Dou Imperial Academy,

Phainon looked at the Sky Curtain and nearly lost his composure.

So this was the underlying logic of Douluo Continent: a continent ruled by romance!

He wondered whether Aha would later run down all the people on Douluo Continent whose heads were full of romance.

He glanced at Qian Renxue beside him.

Qian Renxue's face had turned scarlet too.

Not from shyness.

From humiliation.

How could Spirit Hall's saintess be so cringe?

At least Qian Renxue would be the one in power in the end!

Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Great Forest,

Da Ming and Er Ming were dumbfounded.

What do you mean all three of us sacrificed ourselves?

If Sister Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, why did we do it too?

Was Tang San really that charming?

At the sight, Di Tian finally lost it. He laughed in exasperation.

He turned to Bi Ji and said:

"These are the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts under our command?"

One of them throwing herself at a human was bad enough!

But the other two overlords had rushed to become nourishment for him too!

Di Tian felt that no opponent had ever managed to knock him out, but these Soul Beasts might drive him into a faint!

Bi Ji: "..."

She didn't know what to say either!

They were either obsessed with romance or had no brains at all!

She couldn't help feeling sorry for Di Tian. How was he supposed to lead them?

This generation of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts was beyond help!

Di Tian sighed and could only force himself to take comfort in one thought:

"Once Master wakes up, everything will get better!"

Inside the Papal Hall,

Hu Liena wanted the ground to swallow her.

One moment, she had been delighted that she would become a saintess; the next, the Sky Curtain had thrown her into a prison of shame.

At a loss, Hu Liena knelt and tried to explain:

"Teacher, I'm not like that."

She desperately wanted to say she wasn't someone whose head was full of romance.

But the Sky Curtain was right there before their eyes.

Bibi Dong was angry, but looking at Hu Liena reminded her of her former self.

She thought of that damned Qian Xunji!

And Yu Xiaogang!

There wasn't a good man under heaven!

She said earnestly to Hu Liena:

"Nana, don't be afraid. I believe you."

"But you must remember today's lesson. You can never rely on men. We have to rely on our own strength."

Hu Liena nodded, her eyes reddening.

"I'll remember, Teacher!"

When Tang San saw the Sky Curtain, he was utterly stunned.

He looked at Xiao Wu beside him.

"Xiao Wu, why did you save me?"

"I should have been the one protecting you."

He hated himself!

He hated that he had failed to protect Xiao Wu and had instead let her give her life to save him.

Xiao Wu laid her feelings bare without holding anything back.

"Because I love you, Third Brother!"

"I'd do anything for you!"

Tang San froze.

Even though he had lived two lives,

he had never experienced such a direct confession.

With no experience to speak of, Tang San could only grip Xiao Wu's hand tightly.

"Ooh, someone's blushing, Brother San!"

Ning Rongrong teased him with a grin.

Tang San's composure crumbled. Flushing with embarrassment and anger, he snapped, "Mind your own business!"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun immediately joined in. "Hahahaha! Little San's getting worked up!"

Tang Hao watched his son's awkward expression.

Even he broke into a rare smile.

"Don't worry. I'm here this time, and I'll protect you all."

He would not let the same tragedy befall his son.

This time, he, the Clear Sky Douluo, would protect Little San!

Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement.

"The Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo can't compare to the Clear Sky Douluo's strength."

"So put your minds at ease!"

"Besides, Little San, you have what it takes to become a god. One day, you'll be unrivaled under heaven! Focus on growing stronger for now."

At that, Yu Xiaogang gave a cold snort.

"If Bibi Dong comes in person, I, Yu Xiaogang, will be the first to stop her!"

"Let her try laying a finger on you!"
