It was a vast forest. A gentle breeze blew past, creating a layer of deep green ripples in the air. Indistinct roars of tigers and the cries of apes could be heard.
This was the Sunset Forest.
It was located a hundred kilometers east of Heaven Dou City. It was one of the gathering grounds of the Heaven Dou Empire's soul beasts. Although it wasn't as large as the Great Star Dou Forest, many high-level soul beasts were here.
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.
A group of people had just come out of the Sunset Forest.
This was a group of young boys and girls. There were about a dozen of them. The boys were handsome and confident, while the girls were beautiful and cute.
Leading the group were four or five old men. They were tall and imposing, and their auras were extremely powerful.
Naturally, this group of people was Fang Xuan's group, who had rushed over from Soto City.
"Ah ~ I'm so tired. We're finally at Heaven Dou City …"
Ning Rongrong lazily stretched her waist, and her dainty figure outlined a graceful curve. After rushing for a long time, she was already exhausted as a support-type soul master. Right now, she just wanted to have a good sleep.
"We're here, we're finally here."
Everyone revealed gratified smiles. Along the way, there had been so many twists and turns. It was challenging.
Heaven Dou City was less than a hundred kilometers from the Sunset Forest. With the speed of a soul master's march, they could reach Heaven Dou City before sunset.
Everyone was exhausted after several days of eating and sleeping in the open. They just wanted to return to Heaven Dou City, take a comfortable hot bath, and sleep on a soft bed for three days and three nights.
"Grandpa Jian, why did you keep staring at Xiao Wu? Don't tell me you're old and have bad thoughts. Let me tell you, Xiao Wu is my good friend. You can't bully her."
Ning Rongrong stared at the Sword Douluo warily. She reached out and hugged the pale Xiao Wu.
The Sword Douluo was silent. He continued to stare coldly at Xiao Wu. His deep eyes flickered with a sharp sword light, and Xiao Wu couldn't help but reveal a look of fear.
I've been exposed, I've been told…
Xiao Wu sighed in her heart. She knew that she couldn't escape today.
"Do you want to say it yourself, or do you want me to tell everyone …"
The Sword Douluo's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and he said in a grim voice, "Tell them your true identity."
This powerful Titled Douluo, had already seen through Xiao Wu's identity when he first saw her. However, he didn't immediately expose Xiao Wu because of her close relationship with Ning Rongrong. Instead, he carefully observed Xiao Wu, who was in human form, to see if she had any ulterior motives.
"Xiao Wu's … true identity?"
Tang San was stunned and looked at Sword Douluo in confusion.
Shrek and the others also wore blank expressions and had no idea what the Sword Douluo was talking about.
Besides the Sword Douluo, only Fang Xuan knew about Xiao Wu's true identity. Even Tang San was in the dark.
After all, the storyline had only just progressed to where Shrek arrived in Heaven Dou City. Tang San hadn't consumed the Autumn Piercing Gaze Dew, and his Purple Demon Eyes hadn't yet broken through to the Mustard Seed Realm.
Oh, right, Fang Xuan had almost forgotten that he had consumed the Autumn Piercing Gaze Dew. That meant that Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes would never be able to break through to the Mustard Seed Realm.
"Everyone from Heaven Dou Academy, our Shrek has some private matters to attend to. Can I ask you to leave us for a moment…?"
Master looked at Qin Ming, Fang Xuan, and the others from Heaven Dou Academy with a serious expression.
"Yes, Master."
Qin Ming nodded and brought the Imperial Dou Battle team's members to one side to rest so that Shrek and the rest could have a place to talk.
… …
"Alright, the outsiders have all left. The only ones left are our people."
Flanders, Maestro, and Zhao Wuji, looked at Mai Mukai and asked, "Xiao Wu, what is Senior Sword Douluo talking about? What's going on with your true identity?"
The Sword Douluo stared at Xiao Wu with cold eyes. He didn't say a word, but his eyes were hostile.
"Xiao Wu …"
Tang San stared blankly at her.
"Sigh …"
After a long sigh, Xiao Wu's eyes turned red. Her expression was gloomy as she said, "Third Brother, everyone, I didn't mean to hide it from you …"
"I'm not human."
"Not human?"
Everyone turned pale with fright.
"Xiao Wu is not human …"
Among everyone present, the one who was the most shocked was Tang San.
His face was pale as if he had been struck by lightning.
He couldn't believe his ears. He and Xiao Wu had been together since they were at Notting Academy. They had spent the most beautiful childhood together and long treated each other as family.
But now, Xiao Wu said that she wasn't human.
This was a massive blow to Tang San.
"That's right, this Xiao Wu is a soul beast," the Sword Douluo said coldly.
"A soul beast that can take human form? That's something that only the legendary 100,000-year soul beasts can do. " Master was shocked.
Such a beautiful and adorable little girl was a frightening hundred-thousand-year soul beast. This was too inconceivable.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the other companions who spent their days together were also very shocked.
"Although this Xiao Wu was once a 100,000-year soul beast, after taking human form, her current strength is only around Rank 30. It will be straightforward to kill her. She's one of Shrek's people, so tell me how you should deal with Xiao Wu."
The Sword Douluo looked at Shrek and the others. He was prepared to let the Shrek Academy have the right to deal with Xiao Wu. After all, they used to be companions.
"Kill … Xiao Wu?"
Hearing this, Tang San's eyes instantly turned red. He quickly stood before Xiao Wu clenched his fists, and glared at the Sword Douluo.
"No, I will not allow anyone to hurt Xiao Wu."
"We are Shrek Seven, and we are one. We will live and die together."
Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other members of Shrek Seven also expressed their resolute attitudes.
"Grandpa Jian, Xiao Wu is my friend. I won't allow you to hurt her."
Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke and glared at the Sword Douluo. Her attitude was evident: she wanted to protect Xiao Wu. With her relationship with the Sword, Douluo was undoubtedly the most important person present.
"Rongrong, if I wanted to hurt Xiao Wu, I would have done it long ago. Why would I wait until now?" The Sword Douluo laughed bitterly.
A hundred-thousand-year human-shaped soul beast was highly precious. After killing it, it would drop a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone.
However, with Ning Rongrong's position in the Sword Douluo's heart, and considering how close Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were, how could the Sword Douluo bear to hurt a twelve-year-old girl?
"That's great! I knew Grandpa Jian was the best. He would never hurt Xiao Wu."
A sweet smile appeared on Ning Rongrong's face as she quickly ran over to the Sword Douluo and latched onto his arm.
"Third brother, everyone, thank you …"
Xiao Wu's eyes glistened with tears. She was extremely touched.
She thought that after everyone learned about her identity as a soul beast, they would hate her and even covet her hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone. However, she didn't expect everyone to protect her. They didn't look down on her identity as a soul beast and still treated her as a companion.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and sparkling tears flowed down her cheeks. Xiao Wu stared blankly at Tang San and said, "Brother ~ Don't you despise me?"
Soul beasts and humans had always been enemies.
Human soul masters hunted soul beasts to obtain soul rings and soul's bones, but powerful soul beasts also fed on humans and killed many powerful soul masters. The hatred between the two sides was intense and couldn't be resolved quickly.
Tang San smiled and rubbed Xiao Wu's head lovingly.
He said gently, "Silly girl, so what if you're a human or a soul beast? I only know that you're my sister and the person I love."
After hearing this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but jump into Tang San's arms and burst into tears. "Brother"
Since she transformed into a human and mixed into the human world, Xiao Wu knew she had finally found someone she could rely on for the rest of her life.
"Haha …"
Everyone in Shrek's group looked at each other and laughed in satisfaction. It didn't matter whether Xiao Wu was a soul beast or not. Everyone only knew that she was their companion, and that was enough. Nothing else mattered.
"It seems like your problem has been solved …"
The Sword Douluo looked at this harmonious scene and couldn't help but smile. He sighed in his heart but soon thought of something, and his expression gradually became serious. He said in a low voice, "However! Be happy early enough! Even if I don't attack Xiao Wu, it doesn't mean that others won't attack Xiao Wu. As long as they're Titled Douluo, it will be easy to see through Xiao Wu's true identity.
Heaven Dou City, which you're heading to, is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There are many influential people there, and there's no lack of titled soul masters. Think carefully. Do you still want to go to Heaven Dou City?"
"This …"
When this question was raised, everyone in Shrek's group faced a dilemma. They had rushed to Heaven Dou City from Soto City to participate in the Continental Elite Academy Tournament a year later. Were they going to return empty-handed because of Xiao Wu?
"No, I can't let everyone give up the opportunity to participate in the Soul Master Tournament because of me. We have to go to Heaven Dou City and participate in the Elite Soul Master Tournament. This is a good opportunity for our Shrek Seven to increase our strength."
Xiao Wu's eyes were unwavering, and she clenched her fist.
"But Xiao Wu, you …"
Tang San hesitated. He was worried about Xiao Wu's safety.
Master pondered momentarily and said thoughtfully, "I've heard that immortal-grade herbs can help suppress the aura of soul beasts. They're very effective. If Xiao Wu has an immortal-grade herb, I think even a Titled Douluo won't be able to see through her identity as a soul beast."
"An immortal-grade herb?"
Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Even the Sword Douluo couldn't help but shake his head. An immortal-grade herb was scarce in the world. Where could they find such a precious herb now?
At this moment, Fang Xuan held a shiny golden immortal-grade herb in his right hand. He whistled as he walked past everyone and didn't take away a single cloud …
