Almost instantly, Tang Xiao saw through Xiao Wu's identity.
The Third Elder glanced at Xiao Wu, his steps faltered, and he stood frozen in place.
"Etc!"
" Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
The Third Elder's face instantly darkened, his old eyes fixed on Xiao Wu, his pupils slightly contracting.
The Third Elder took a step back, his gaze fixed intently on Xiao Wu, " Soft Bone Rabbit... you are Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit in human form!"
As soon as he shouted, the expressions of the elders beside him changed simultaneously.
They all looked at Xiao Wu, and their expressions immediately changed.
"What?!"
"It really is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form!"
The Second Elder and the others were all Titled Douluo, and they immediately saw through Xiao Wu's identity.
Xiao Wu's face turned pale instantly.
She took a half step back, instinctively shrinking behind Tang San, her hands gripping Tang San sleeves until her knuckles turned white.
These days, she's been so busy looking at how glorious her future self is in the Heavenly Screen: the Asura God Inheritance, a level 96 Titled Douluo, and a top-tier existence among the Shrek Seven Monsters.
She completely forgot one thing: she was no longer the majestic Asura God Xiao Wu in the Heavenly Screen; she was now just a Soul Elder with a Soul Power level of only thirty-something.
Titled Douluo could easily see through her identity.
Moreover, she hadn't expected that the Clear Sky Sect would have so many Titled Douluo.
"Brother..." Xiao Wu's voice trembled, and she shrank back behind Tang San.
" Xiao Wu... you... you're really a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
To everyone's surprise, Tang San also looked at Xiao Wu with a shocked expression, as if he could hardly believe it.
Yu Xiaogang had taught her about the ability of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to take human form, but she never expected that Xiao Wu was one of them.
"Elder brother..."
"I... I didn't mean to hide it..."
Seeing Tang San's appearance, Xiao Wu's eyes immediately reddened.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, don't cry!"
Seeing Xiao Wu cry, Tang San immediately softened, and memories of his time with Xiao Wu began to surface in his mind.
In this world, the person who is best to him and closest to him is Xiao Wu.
Therefore, he didn't care about Xiao Wu's identity.
"Don't worry, I don't care who you are. Since I said you're my sister, then you are my sister, and always will be!"
Tang San immediately hugged Xiao Wu and comforted her.
"Brother! You're so kind!"
Xiao Wu was immediately relieved and burst into tears of joy.
"This..."
Yu Xiaogang and Zhao Wuji exchanged bewildered glances; they hadn't expected Xiao Wu to be Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Moreover, even after learning the truth, Tang San still protected Xiao Wu so much.
Tang San stood in front of Xiao Wu, his arms slightly outstretched, protecting Xiao Wu behind him.
He looked up at the elders, his voice steady but his pace quick. "Sect Master, and a few other elders, I don't care what Xiao Wu's identity is. I only know that Xiao Wu is my sister. After she transformed into human form, she has been cultivating with me at the Shrek Academy and has never harmed anyone."
"Never harmed anyone?" The Second Elder narrowed his eyes, his tone unfriendly. " Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformed and lurking among humans—does it need to be spelled out what it's after?"
"Second Elder!" Tang Xiao finally spoke, his voice not loud, but it struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
He took a step forward, standing slightly in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu. His gaze swept over the elders, finally settling on the Second Elder's face. " Xiao Wu is Tang San 'Tang San sister, and in the future, his wife. No one can touch her."
The elders were all stunned.
"Sect Master!" the Second Elder cried out anxiously, " Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form—that's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone! If released, the entire continent would fight over it..."
"I said, no one is allowed to touch her." Tang Xiao's tone remained unchanged.
The second elder opened his mouth, but swallowed the rest of his words.
The Third Elder, still clutching the iron hammer, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, finally spoke in a muffled voice after several breaths, "Sect Master, Tang San... the sect has already borne a tremendous responsibility for his father's matter. Now, with another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, what will happen if the Spirit Hall finds out..."
" The Spirit Hall?"
Tang Xiao glanced at him. " The Heavenly Screen broadcast Tang San and Xiao Wu's future, so the Spirit Hall knows it better than anyone else. Do you think the Spirit Hall will let Tang San go? Or let our Clear Sky Sect go? Whether there's one more Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast one less, the Spirit Hall will still attack us, it makes no difference."
The Third Elder remained silent.
The Fourth Elder also withdrew his Soul Power, scratched his head, and looked embarrassed.
The Second Elder, still unwilling to give up, lowered his voice. "Sect Master, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, Xiao Wu's identity is too conspicuous; what if word gets out..."
"Then don't spread it." Tang Xiao took over, his tone crisp and decisive. "Everyone here today, keep your mouths shut. Once you leave this mountain, no one is allowed to mention Xiao Wu's identity."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over each person. "You all saw what was broadcast on the Heavenly Screen. What kind of person will Xiao Wu be in the future? The successor of the Asura God. Who is the Asura God? The head of the God of Law Enforcement in the Divine Realm. Are you trying to make an enemy of the Asura God by harming Xiao Wu?"
This statement is more damaging than anything else.
The elders looked at each other, but no one said a word.
In the Heavenly Screen, the Asura God even betrayed the Sea God for Tang San; this kind of deity is blatantly protective of his own.
If Xiao Wu really angers the Asura God, who can withstand her?
The Second Elder's expression shifted from gloomy to conflicted, then from conflicted to helpless, finally letting out a heavy sigh, "The Sect Master is right, I was confused."
" Tang San, let's go up!"
"Now that you've come here, you must have returned to acknowledge your ancestors and seek the protection of the Clear Sky Sect, right?"
"Don't worry, the sect will definitely protect you!"
Tang Xiao turned to Tang San and said, "And Xiao Wu, you can stay at the Clear Sky Sect without worry!"
"Yes, Uncle!"
Tang San was relieved and also started addressing Tang Xiao as "Uncle".
Future time and space.
Two months later, Wu Wei's level reached level 9.
Although it's only a minor level 9, it's still far ahead among the newbies in the entire Douluo Continent.
Qian Yuhan and Ye Si are only level 7.
The Asura God and the Sea God are also level 7, but they were both a few days earlier.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue are both level 6.
The group of elders from the Spirit Hall, along with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, had only just broken through to level 5.
Xiao Wu, however, came from behind and caught up with Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
That was because of the blessing she received from the position of the Asura God, and also because she herself worked very hard, single-mindedly wanting to save Tang San.
Buzz--
On this day, Wu Wei opened his eyes from his cultivation, a glint of light flashing in them.
"Great, I've finally broken through to level 10!"
Wu Wei clenched his fist. After so long of retraining, he had finally returned to level 10.
This means that he can now absorb Soul Ring.
Wu Wei's breakthrough was seen by everyone in the past through the Heavenly Screen.
Is it finally coming?
"We'll soon see what this Blood Essence Soul Ring he's talking about really looks like."
