Make the Rabbit Prove She's a Rabbit

Me?

Gu Ping'an gazed up at the sky, looking somewhat lost.

A divine seat!

Something countless Soul Masters could only dream of reaching.

Should he not compete for it?

He worried that he would not have enough time later to become a god and deal with Tang San.

Anyone outside Tang San's camp would absolutely be treated as a thorn in his eye, a spike in his flesh.

But competing for it!

Gu Ping'an could not help feeling a surge of disdain.

There was plenty of debate over the ceiling of fantasy worlds, but never any over their floor tiles. Douluo bravely fought for first place there.

He did not want to become one of the so-called gods of the Douluo Continent.

The entire, supposedly majestic Divine Realm could not even withstand void turbulence. What a joke.

Dugu Bo stared blankly at Gu Ping'an.

What was that expression?

Confusion?

Indecision?

And disdain?

Why was there disdain too? Dugu Bo could not understand.

"Let's go! Hurry back. I need to cultivate!"

A sense of urgency rose in Gu Ping'an's heart.

He had to achieve the Five Elements Cycle as quickly as possible and find time to deal with the Blue Silver King.

Right!

He also had to find an opportunity to take the Speed Clan's Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Otherwise, with Tang San's luck, it might very well end up in his hands.

The factions that had formed the Tang Sect in the original story.

The Strength Clan!

The Defense Clan!

The Breaking Clan!

The Speed Clan.

Shrek and the Blacksmith Association.

The forces supporting Tang San: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire...

The more Gu Ping'an counted, the more speechless he became.

Apart from Spirit Hall, practically the entire Douluo Continent seemed to be helping Tang San.

And there was even an Asura God King in the Divine Realm.

"Looks like I'll have to pay Shrek a visit," Gu Ping'an murmured.

Dai Mubai represented the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Zhu Zhuqing represented the Star Luo Empire's Zhu Family.

Ning Rongrong represented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Tang San represented the Clear Sky Sect.

Though Xiao Wu had no faction behind her, she had two hundred-thousand-year simping beasts.

Oscar could be considered a commoner genius.

He could not let them gather together. He had to help Tang San trim his future wings ahead of time.

"Your Eminence Poison Douluo, you two should head back!

I have some personal business to take care of."

Gu Ping'an walked off to one side.

"Are you going to that Shrek place?" Dugu Bo asked in confusion.

As a Titled Douluo standing so close, he had heard Gu Ping'an's earlier mutter perfectly clearly.

He had been in a hurry to return and cultivate just a moment ago, yet now he wanted to leave. Most likely, he was going to that Shrek place.

"No!" Gu Ping'an shook his head slightly.

It was still a long time before Tang San would go to Shrek.

There was no rush to deal with Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai yet.

"Cultivate diligently. Aim to become a Titled Douluo before you're thirty."

Gu Ping'an turned to Dugu Yan, took out a small booklet, and handed it to her.

"This is a basic cultivation method I worked out by blowing up my clones dozens of times. It's nothing profound, but it's still much faster than ordinary Meditation Methods."

"Little brother Ping'an, where are you going? When will you come back?" Dugu Yan accepted the booklet and stared at Gu Ping'an, reluctant to let him go.

"Don't worry. I'll come back once I've finished."

Then he turned to Dugu Bo.

"Old fellow, you can try this cultivation method too. It should be faster than your own Meditation Method."

"All right, it's time for me to leave!"

With that, Gu Ping'an used Spatial Teleportation and vanished instantly.

"That brat..." Dugu Bo gazed toward where Gu Ping'an had disappeared, sounding rather moved.

Meanwhile, after parting with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Gu Ping'an headed toward Nuoding City.

Xiao Wu and Tang San had only been at the academy for a month or two. They probably had not yet formed the deep friendship they had shared in the original story.

He would first sever the thread connecting Xiao Wu and Tang San, then cut away Tang San's ties to the other factions one by one.

"I'm back!"

Seven days later, Gu Ping'an stood before Nuoding City's gates, gazing with some emotion at the three characters spelling its name above the entrance.

"Hey! Who are you?" A young gate guard called out when he saw Gu Ping'an staring silently at the gate for so long.

Gu Ping'an lowered his gaze to the young guard. With a thought, he activated Spacetime Isolation and vanished before the guard's eyes.

"S-so... he was... a Lord Soul Master."

The young guard could barely speak. Trembling, he returned to his post.

Smack!

An older guard slapped the young guard on the head.

"Erdanzi, learn to read the situation! Didn't you see his striking looks and unusual clothes?

He's either a Soul Master or a noble. Either way, he's not someone we can afford to offend."

"Yes, yes, Brother Wang. I understand."

Gu Ping'an ignored the farce beside him and walked straight into the city.

"Let's see where Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, and Tang San are."

He activated Silver Blue Perception.

Through the Blue Silver Grass, the scenes within Nuoding City flowed into his mind one by one.

Tang Hao was still tucked away in a shadowy corner, drinking.

Tang San was following a man with a short crew cut, listening to his instruction.

Tang San? Yu Xiaogang?

How did they still end up together?

Gu Ping'an frowned in thought.

Didn't Tang San say he would go to Nuoding City's Spirit Hall to read their books?

Before enrolling, he had no time because he had to prepare Tang Hao's three daily meals. Did he still have no time after enrolling?

Oh, I almost forgot.

Tang San must have taken Yu Xiaogang as his master as soon as he enrolled.

Knowing Yu Xiaogang, he definitely wouldn't let Tang San read at Spirit Hall. Wouldn't that be a slap to his face?

So Tang Hao had delayed Tang San's chance to wise up early on?

Tang San really had taken Yu Xiaogang as his master. He would see how Tang San treated Yu Xiaogang once he discovered his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was ruined.

Where's the little rabbit?

Gu Ping'an skipped all the irrelevant scenes and soon found Xiao Wu inside the Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, swaggering around with a group of work-study students.

Just to be safe, Gu Ping'an changed his appearance again, taking on a stranger's face before walking toward the Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.

"Wang Sheng, why haven't we seen Xiao Chenyu and the others lately?"

Xiao Wu looked around eagerly, itching to find Xiao Chenyu and his friends for a little sparring.

"Sister Xiao Wu, they've been avoiding us ever since they lost that challenge." Wang Sheng followed beside Xiao Wu like a retainer.

Or rather, everyone from the work-study dormitory was following behind her.

"Hmph! At least he knows what's good for him. Otherwise, I'd beat him until he was searching the ground for his teeth again."

Xiao Wu wagged her pair of rabbit ears and spoke imperiously.

"She really is a lawless little rabbit!"

Standing inside a separate space created by Spacetime Isolation, Gu Ping'an watched the arrogant little rabbit.

A little rabbit who had grown accustomed to playing the boss in the Star Dou Great Forest, relying on two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Wherever she went, she wanted to be the boss.

Come to think of it, is she really a Soft Bone Rabbit?

He had wondered about that even in his previous life.

How could a Soft Bone Rabbit, the most ordinary creature in the Star Dou Great Forest, possess such heaven-defying Soul Skills as Teleportation, Invincible Golden Body, and Void?

If the Silver Dragon King had not possessed god-king-level combat strength from the moment she split off, and had actually needed to cultivate from scratch, even her abilities might not have matched Xiao Wu's.

Time ticked by, and Wang Sheng and the others gradually dispersed.

"Are you really a rabbit?"

Once Xiao Wu was alone, Gu Ping'an's voice suddenly sounded beside her.

"Huh? Who are you? Don't you know you're supposed to call me Sister Xiao Wu?"

Seeing Gu Ping'an appear so suddenly, Xiao Wu had yet to grasp the situation. She assumed he was some academy student she had never met.

"Sister Xiao Wu?" Gu Ping'an tilted his head and looked at her in amusement.

At a time like this, she's still fussing over what I call her.

Gu Ping'an suddenly reached out and seized Xiao Wu's shoulder. Catching her off guard, he swiftly controlled the Blue Silver Grass and wrapped her up like a rice dumpling.

"Hey! Who are you? You'd better hurry up and..."

"Mmph... mmph..."

Blue Silver Grass wound across Xiao Wu's mouth, instantly silencing her.

"Let's go!"

Gu Ping'an grabbed Xiao Wu, who kept wriggling in an attempt to break free, and activated Teleportation, vanishing on the spot.

When Gu Ping'an reappeared, he had already brought Xiao Wu outside Nuoding City.

Inside Nuoding City, in a dark corner near the Junior Soul Master Academy.

Tang Hao suddenly stopped drinking.

The little rabbit's aura had disappeared.

Tang Hao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Panting like an ox, he raced toward the place where Xiao Wu's aura had vanished.

"Why is there no one here?"

"The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring I reserved for my dear son is gone?"

Tang Hao looked around with bloodshot eyes, yet could not sense even a trace of the little rabbit's aura.

"A Titled Douluo must have taken her!"

"Spirit Hall?"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

"Who could it be? Who could do this without me sensing anything?"

"Gu Rong? Yes! Only Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has the spatial abilities to seize the rabbit and leave instantly without letting me sense any aura."

With his brain full of muscle, Tang Hao deduced the "true culprit" in mere moments.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Gu Rong! Just you wait!"

Outside Nuoding City, on the road leading to the Sunset Forest.

"Hey! Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"

Seeing how young Gu Ping'an was, Xiao Wu thought she had encountered a human trafficker.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a Soft Bone Rabbit?"

The moment Gu Ping'an spoke, Xiao Wu froze in shock.

"Can you prove you're a Soft Bone Rabbit?"
