Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

The Lake of Life was in a mess. Ning Mumu was in a slightly better mood and didn't plan to stay any longer. She had to go back so as not to worry Ning Luoluo and the others.

"bite--"

A soft bell rang out from somewhere. Ning Mumu stopped and turned around. The scene before her puzzled her—something had appeared in the center of the Lake of Life, causing ripples to spread outwards, growing larger and larger. From a distance, the Lake of Life appeared to be boiling.

"This is?"

What has appeared in the Lake of Life? Why is it so strange? Ning Mumu was puzzled. She vaguely remembered that the Lake of Life was the territory of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and it seemed to have some connection with Tang San.

However, the original novel doesn't describe this place much, nor does it mention this situation. Ning Mumu's divine sense swept across the lake, and the ripples that had just appeared instantly froze!

"?" Ning Mumu looked completely bewildered. "I didn't use my soul power, so how did the lake water freeze?"

When they couldn't figure it out, the lake water became chaotic as if it had gone mad, with ripples spreading and concentric circles of water rising up.

"Strange, the lake water was just ordinary a moment ago, how come it has so much spiritual energy now?" Ning Mumu withdrew her divine sense, slightly surprised. This lake water actually has spiritual energy! Could it be that there are cultivators in the Douluo Continent too?

Looking at the lake full of spiritual energy, Ning Mumu was somewhat confused. The purity of the spiritual energy in this lake was comparable to that of some small secret realms! What was going on?

"Looks like we'll have to go down and investigate." The blue light and shadow immediately disappeared into the lake.

"So my sister and all those soul beasts disappeared!" Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe it. Those were multi-thousand-year-old soul beasts! No matter how powerful her sister was, there would be times when her soul power would be exhausted. How could she possibly have wiped out all those soul beasts by herself?

After hearing Shi Yu's explanation, the members of the Liuli Squad all realized the same thing. Ning Mumu was indeed very powerful, but she was only a twelve-year-old Soul Master. How could she possibly deal with so many Soul Beasts!

Now, both Mu Mu and the soul beast have vanished, and they have no clue whatsoever—this is not good news. If Ning Mu Mu has escaped the encirclement, then they can still search for her. But if Ning Mu Mu is no match for the soul beast, then it's simply a matter of fate.

"Sister will definitely be alright." Ning Rongrong broke the somber atmosphere first, her eyes full of trust in Ning Mumu. "Her strength is far more than what we've seen."

Ning Rongrong's words were like a reassuring pill, calming everyone down.

"Sister's definitely alright. She's probably somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest. We just need to focus on finding her," Ning Rongrong continued. "Don't panic. Sister always manages to get home safely after encountering danger!"

Ning Rongrong stood up straight, her small body ramrod straight. She didn't just say those words blindly—Ning Mumu was kidnapped by an evil spirit master when she was young, encountered a 100,000-year-old spirit beast while hunting for her first spirit ring, and at the age of nine, she and Grandpa Sword eliminated the evil spirit master...

Every single one of these events was incredibly dangerous, yet Ning Mumu managed to escape unscathed. This time, the soul beast wasn't even as terrifying as a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Ning Rongrong thought; she should relax and trust her sister.

The members of the Liuli Squad were most impressed by Ning Mumu's terrifying strength. They quickly realized that with Ning Mumu's abilities, even if she couldn't eliminate the soul beast, escaping wouldn't be a problem. Thinking this, the group relaxed.

Shi Yu and the other two were somewhat confused: According to Ning Rongrong, they should relax? Was Ning Rongrong that confident? Or rather, did she really believe in Ning Mumu's abilities?

Seemingly anticipating their thoughts, Ning Rongrong recounted several of Ning Mumu's glorious deeds, immediately dispelling their doubts.

What a joke! Can a 100,000-year-old soul beast be compared to a 10,000-year-old soul beast? Ning Mumu was able to escape from a 100,000-year-old soul beast, so naturally she doesn't need to be afraid of 10,000-year-old soul beasts.

Ning Rongrong didn't bring these things up intentionally. She learned about Shi Yu and Ning Luoluo from the letter and understood that the two had joined her sister's side. There was no point in hiding this; whether she found out sooner or later, it didn't matter.

"Alright, let's rest for a bit, then we'll go find my sister."
