"Xiao Wu, get up. Train diligently with me from now on, and don't disgrace Brother Xuan."
Gu Yuena stepped forward and personally helped Xiao Wu up, reaching out to rub her head as she encouraged her.
"Yes, Sister Na'er! I'll definitely help you and Brother Xuan beat Tang San black and blue and make Yu Xiaogang admit defeat without a fuss!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded vigorously.
Brother Yao Xuan and Sister Na'er treated her so well. Of course she had to work hard to repay them.
"Good, good! I believe Xiao Wu can definitely do it!"
Seeing Xiao Wu's earnest expression, Yao Xuan smiled and nodded. "When the time comes, make sure you give Tang San a proper beating and really put him through the wringer!"
"If you thrash Tang San badly enough, I've got a mysterious grand gift for you too!"
With that, Yao Xuan revealed a mysterious smile.
"Really? Then I'll definitely train hard and strive to beat Tang San to a pulp so Brother Xuan will be satisfied!"
At Yao Xuan's words, Xiao Wu's beautiful pink eyes instantly lit up, brimming with excitement and anticipation.
In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.
Xiao Wu was undergoing preliminary training under Gu Yuena.
Just then, a figure clad in a black robe, radiating intense killing intent, suddenly descended upon Nuoding Academy!
At that moment, Xiao Wu suddenly felt every hair on her body stand on end!
Her previously steady heartbeat involuntarily quickened, as though a tremendous crisis had descended!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I only came to check on my son Tang San. To think I'd find a lone Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"Hahaha! Today really is my lucky day!"
The next instant, Tang Hao's gaze locked straight onto Xiao Wu. Wild delight surged in his heart, and his eyes gleamed.
With his formidable strength as a Titled Douluo and the experience he had gained from spending so long with Ah Yin, Tang Hao could tell at a glance-
The little girl before him was not human at all!
She was a genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had only just taken human form!
At this thought, Tang Hao felt immense excitement!
As the saying went, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was a treasure from head to toe!
Not only could one yield a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but it was also guaranteed to drop a Soul Bone hailed as an ultimate treasure of the Soul Master World-and a top-grade Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone at that!
Ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, however, lived deep within the Star Dou Great Forest and were difficult to hunt down.
They also possessed tremendous strength, making them difficult to kill.
But this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before him was different!
She had only just taken human form, and her strength was extremely low. Never mind him-even a Soul Saint could easily hunt her down!
And although Tang Hao had already broken through to become a Titled Douluo and had no use for Xiao Wu's Soul Ring now,
his son Tang San could use it!
Precisely for that reason, Tang Hao did not intend to kill Xiao Wu outright.
Instead, he planned to imprison Xiao Wu and wait until Tang San grew up before having him kill her himself, allowing Tang San to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring with ease!
As he thought, Tang Hao reached straight out. A surge of mighty Soul Power condensed into a pair of enormous hands that reached for Xiao Wu in the distance.
At that moment, Xiao Wu's face went deathly pale. Her entire body felt ice-cold, and she could not move or even breathe!
"Hmph!"
At that very moment, Gu Yuena, beside Xiao Wu, gave a cold snort!
With that cold snort,
the enormous hands Tang Hao had conjured from Soul Power collapsed in midair, vanishing without a trace!
At the same time, the pressure enveloping Xiao Wu disappeared completely.
"Cough, cough... Thank you, Master!"
Xiao Wu's legs gave way, and she dropped straight to the ground. Gasping for breath, she looked at Gu Yuena, her voice filled with gratitude.
The human world really was terribly dangerous!
If she had not met her master, this day next year would probably have been the anniversary of her death!
At this thought, another chill ran down Xiao Wu's back.
As for Tang Hao, he stood frozen in place!
"H-how is this possible?!"
Looking at Gu Yuena in the distance, Tang Hao's eyes were filled with wariness!
His attack had actually been completely shattered by a single cold snort from this white-haired woman!
He was a Titled Douluo, after all. Even after letting himself languish for so many years, he was still a genuine Titled Douluo!
Even an expert of the same rank would absolutely have to make a serious effort to break through that attack.
Yet this woman had never even raised her head from beginning to end, let alone looked him squarely in the eye.
She had accomplished all of this with nothing more than a cold snort!
In all his years, he had never encountered an opponent like this.
Even more terrifyingly, from beginning to end, he had not sensed so much as a trace of Soul Power fluctuations from her!
At this thought, Tang Hao's pupils abruptly contracted, and every hair on his body stood on end!
"Who exactly are you?"
Involuntarily retreating half a step, Tang Hao willed his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to manifest in his hand!
At the same time, a top-tier Soul Ring Configuration appeared behind him: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red!
Only after doing all this did Tang Hao fix his gaze on Gu Yuena in the distance and speak, enunciating each word while secretly gathering Soul Power in preparation to strike!
At the sight of the Soul Rings behind Tang Hao, a flicker of killing intent involuntarily flashed through Gu Yuena's eyes!
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring represented the life of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
As the sovereign of all Soul Beasts, she knew better than anyone what that blood-red ring of light meant.
However, remembering Yao Xuan's instructions, she did not intend to strike to kill, lest she displease him.
Meanwhile, faced with Tang Hao's question, Gu Yuena showed no intention of answering.
Instead, she merely raised her eyes indifferently and glanced at Tang Hao.
At that moment, Tang Hao suddenly felt as though something terrifying had set its sights on him.
It was as though what stood before him was not a young, beautiful silver-haired girl, but a genuine colossal dragon!
As for him, he seemed to have become an insect that did not know its own limits!
A suppression rooted in his bloodline bore down on him, so heavily that even the Soul Power within his body began to disobey him.
In an instant, Tang Hao's back was drenched in cold sweat!
And just as Tang Hao began to think of retreating,
Gu Yuena slowly raised her hand, extended her index finger, and pointed lightly in Tang Hao's direction, seven-colored elements flickering in her eyes.
The next moment,
streams of seven-colored elemental power began to gather in the surrounding space under Gu Yuena's will!
In the very next instant,
that elemental power swept around Tang Hao before he had any time to react!
"Th-this is?!"
Just as Tang Hao finally reacted and prepared to pull away in a rapid retreat,
that elemental power had already condensed into seven-colored barriers, surrounding Tang Hao like a cage!
Tang Hao slammed heavily into the Elemental Wall and was bounced right back!
