Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Pseudomorphic Cultivation Grounds.
For the first time ever, Xiao Wu had politely declined her dear brother Tang San's company and gone out to clear her head, all alone.
"You should leave!"
A low voice suddenly rang out, seemingly out of nowhere, echoing clearly in her ears.
"Who?"
Xiao Wu jumped in fright. Looking up, she saw a middle-aged man concealed beneath a hood. The strange smell coming off him made her dizzy, and she unconsciously stepped half a pace back.
It was not the stink that had made her dizzy. As a rabbit spirit aged one hundred thousand and thirteen, she would not have bathed so often after taking human form if she had not feared stinking Tang San out.
So at first sight, she even had the illusion that she had found one of her own kind (not really).
But an illusion was just an illusion. When he pulled back his hood and revealed his identity, Xiao Wu knew she was done for.
"I'm Tang San's father."
Back at Nuoding Academy, she had heard Tang San say his father was a blacksmith. But seeing him today changed her mind-
This was no ordinary blacksmith!
To approach her without a sound, he had to be at least a Soul Saint. Besides, she sensed a terrifying presence from Tang San's father.
"Who... exactly are you...?"
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
The more Soul Rings rose from the ground, the more terrified Xiao Wu became. The final red Soul Ring, in particular, left her limp.
Frightened and terrified, Xiao Wu asked, "Do you want my Soul Ring?"
The thought that she had spent the past few years hopping around right under a Titled Douluo's nose made her want to drop dead on the spot.
