Xiao Wu's Identity Exposed?

After driving Zhao Wuji back, Chu Bai felt his blood surge. A primordial, savage fighting spirit rose from the depths of his heart, while the chaotic aura of his Second Spirit Ability continued to envelop him. Facing Zhao Wuji, he swung his axe once more!

This time, a pitch-black ten-thousand-year Fourth Spirit Ability emerged. Sensing the powerful aura radiating from Chu Bai, Zhao Wuji was even more shocked.

You called this a Soul Ancestor?

"Hmph."

Seven soul rings appeared around Zhao Wuji. Behind him, the earth-yellow Great Strength Vajra Bear roared, emanating a steady, imposing aura.

"Little brat, let me show you the strength of a Soul Saint!"

Zhao Wuji leaped into the air. His Soul Power seemed to lock onto Chu Bai as it rapidly condensed overhead. The ground beneath his feet shattered, and chunks of stone fused together under Zhao Wuji's control before crashing down like a miniature meteor!

"Fourth Spirit Ability, Chaos Cleaves the Heavens!"

A brilliant white light erupted all around them. Then, everyone heard a thunderous explosion and hurriedly used their Soul Power to protect themselves.

At the center of the explosion, Chu Bai staggered back repeatedly. He appeared uninjured, though his expression was grave.

Zhao Wuji had not hurt him. With the Fourth Spirit Ability of his Pangu Axe, its power was absolutely no weaker than that of an ordinary Soul Emperor. Zhao Wuji himself was known for his defensive strength; if it truly came down to attack power, Chu Bai might not necessarily fear him.

Sure enough, amid the fading light, Zhao Wuji retreated, his arm still trembling violently.

"Zhao Wuji seems to have come out worse?"

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth with one hand, staring at Chu Bai ahead in disbelief.

A Soul Ancestor had forced back a Soul Saint head-on.

How powerful did one have to be to accomplish that?

"Where did this kid come from? How could he possess such tremendous strength..."

Zhao Wuji's expression was solemn.

Chu Bai had not injured him, but he had indeed forced him back. Zhao Wuji could feel the ancient, primordial aura emanating from Chu Bai, and it filled him with dread.

"Flender, he..."

Before Zhao Wuji could finish, Flender cut him off.

"Let's go, Zhao Wuji. Take the little monsters and leave."

Flender seemed to be forcing himself to remain calm. Zhao Wuji and Yu Xiaogang both looked confused.

But Flender's gaze allowed no argument. Zhao Wuji and Yu Xiaogang could not say anything further and could only leave dejectedly with Dai Mubai and the others. As for Tang San and Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai and Oscar naturally carried them back.

"I'm never going back to that trash academy."

Ning Rongrong shook her head in disappointment and looked at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. "Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, are you two still going back to that trash academy?"

"You've seen what those people are like. If you keep staying there, sooner or later they'll drag you down with them!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu hesitated.

"I have nowhere else to go for now, so I can only go back first." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

"I'll go back for now too," Xiao Wu said.

Ning Rongrong could only nod. Then she asked Chu Bai curiously, "Chu Bai, why did they run away just now?"

"Because I have someone backing me."

Chu Bai smiled faintly as a figure appeared behind him.

"Holy Son, I had quite a hard time finding you." Dugu Bo appeared behind Chu Bai. The instant he did, Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale.

A sense of terror rose from the depths of her heart.

This man is a Titled Douluo! Xiao Wu wanted to flee, but she did not have the slightest bit of strength left. Fear had already robbed her of the ability to think clearly.

"We have Poison Douluo to thank for what happened earlier."

Chu Bai could sense the aura Dugu Bo had released just now. Flender must have noticed that terrifying presence, which was why he had left so dejectedly.

"No matter. Wait, this is..."

Dugu Bo's expression shifted slightly as his gaze locked onto Xiao Wu.

Chu Bai froze, having forgotten that Xiao Wu was still here.

"Holy Son, this..."

Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled. He walked over to Chu Bai, intending to tell him the truth, but Chu Bai merely shook his head. "I know the truth."

"Huh?" Dugu Bo was dumbfounded. How could a Soul Ancestor like you know?

Chu Bai looked at Xiao Wu, then at Dugu Bo, and said helplessly, "Old Poison, since she chose to become human, she is truly human. We have no right to deprive her of her life."

"Hehe, if that is the case, then I naturally have nothing more to say."

Dugu Bo nodded and withdrew his aura. Only then did the terror in Xiao Wu's heart lessen somewhat. She looked at Chu Bai, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.

He really knows my identity... But why didn't he let this Titled Douluo attack me...? Does he really not care about soul rings and soul bones...?

Xiao Wu quickly pulled Zhu Zhuqing away, leaving Ning Rongrong standing there in complete confusion.

"Rong Rong, since you're not going back, where are you planning to go?" Chu Bai asked. To be honest, he had not expected Ning Rongrong to choose to leave Shrek Academy just like that.

But that was for the best. That kind of place was hard to put into words.

"I'll return to the sect first. After all, I don't know anyone around here." Ning Rongrong sighed helplessly and took out something resembling a token.

"Oh? This token belongs to that swordmaster, Chen Xin?" Dugu Bo had clearly recognized it.

"Yes. Grandpa Jian secretly gave me this token so I could send word to him in time if I was bullied. Now I can have him come pick me up."

"Flender, what do you mean by this? Are two Soul Saints like us supposed to be afraid of that brat?!"

Zhao Wuji looked thoroughly displeased.

"Flender, Tang San suffered such serious injuries. How can we just let this go?" Grandmaster's expression was livid.

"Hmph, what do you know? Just now, I clearly sensed the aura of a Titled Douluo. It was obviously directed at us. That kid has a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse behind him!"

Flender let out a breath of relief. If they had not left just now, their entire group might have been wiped out today.

"What?!"

Everyone was horrified.

A Titled Douluo?

"Just what is his background? With a Titled Douluo behind him, he must be the disciple of some great clan. But no clan has an axe martial soul..." Yu Xiaogang began theorizing again.

"Hmph, I think he's from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He probably conspired with Ning Rongrong to come take revenge on us!" Dai Mubai clenched his fists.

"If he is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then it does indeed have Titled Douluo. But why is his martial soul an axe? Could he be a spouse the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect specifically found for Ning Rongrong?"

Grandmaster nodded as he speculated.

"..."

Oscar remained silent nearby. Although he did not believe Ning Rongrong would do such a thing, even if she had the temperament of a spoiled young lady, she would not find someone to take revenge on them.
