Douluo: Ultimate Slaughter Shocks the God of Asura

Chapter 54 reveals the formation of a rift between Xiao Wu and Tang San.

As the oppressive aura dissipated, Xiao Wu remained kneeling on the ground, momentarily forgetting to get up.

She looked up at Luo Feng, her usually bright pink eyes now filled with disbelief and shock.

And a deep-seated fear.

Dragon—a true dragon!

That pure, noble aura that sent shivers down her spine could not be wrong!

The seemingly human young teacher in front of me is actually such a terrifying being!

"You...you are also...a soul beast?"

Xiao Wu's voice was dry as she asked the most crucial question.

Luo Feng remained noncommittal, turned around and sat back in the rattan chair, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Yes and no.

He took a sip of tea before slowly explaining.

"My name is Yazi, the second son of the dragon. This human body is a transformation."

Yazi!

Xiao Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

She had heard Da Ming and Er Ming mention the legend of the dragon race in the Starry Sky Forest.

The dragon has nine sons, each different from the other, and Yazi is the fierce god who is in charge of killing, bloodthirsty and warlike!

It is one of the most elite bloodlines among soul beasts!

No wonder————

No wonder his aura was so terrifying, even she, with her 100,000 years of cultivation, felt an instinctive fear.

"Then how did you end up here? And how did you become Shrek's teacher?"

Xiao Wu finally regained some strength and slowly stood up, supporting herself on the ground.

But he still didn't dare to sit down, maintaining a respectful posture.

"I've come here for a reason."

Luo Feng put down his teacup and looked at her calmly.

"But you, a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, are mingling in a human academy and are inseparable from a human boy."

"Little rabbit, you have such a big heart."

Xiao Wu's face paled, and she instinctively protested, "Third Brother is different! He treats me very well, we—"

He's nice to you because he doesn't know who you are.

Luo Feng interrupted her, his tone indifferent.

"If he found out, what do you think he would do?"

"A 100,000-year-old soul ring, a 100,000-year-old soul bone—how many in the world can resist such temptation?"

"Third Brother wouldn't!"

Xiao Wu blurted it out, but her voice carried a hint of wavering that was barely perceptible.

Luo Feng chuckled softly, but there was little warmth in his laughter.

"Decades ago, there was also a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor that transformed into human form and fell in love with a human Soul Master. She believed in that man and even bore him a child. But what was the result?"

Xiao Wu's heart sank.

"She died, she died as a sacrifice."

"And the human she deeply loved, after her sacrifice, became famous throughout the continent with a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, and was hailed as the youngest Title Douluo, but he never went to see the seed she left behind again."

With each word Luo Feng spoke, Xiao Wu's face grew paler.

"Who...who is that?"

Her voice trembled.

"Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin. As for that man—"

Luo Feng looked into Xiao Wu's eyes and said, word by word, "His name is Tang Hao, Haotian Douluo. And his son is the one next to you who keeps calling me 'Third Brother'—Tang, Third."

boom-!

Xiao Wu was struck dumb, staggered back a step, and bumped into the edge of the coffee table.

Tang San is Tang Hao's son?

The son of the man who caused the sacrifice of the Blue Silver Emperor?

No, it's impossible—Third Brother is so gentle, so good to her, how could he—

"Do you think Tang Hao doesn't know your identity? Do you think Tang San is truly completely unaware?"

Luo Feng's words were like a cold knife, piercing through the window she had been unwilling to think about.

"Tang Hao is a Title Douluo; he can see through your true form at a glance. Why did he allow you to stay by Tang San's side?"

"Tang San's Purple Demon Eye cultivation is deepening; do you really think he can't see through your disguise?"

Xiao Wu's face was deathly pale, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

She recalled the moments she spent with Tang San, and the overly calm and profound look in his eyes when he occasionally looked at her.

Recalling Tang Hao's brief appearance and that meaningful glance as he left—

A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head.

"It is extremely difficult for a soul beast to cultivate for 100,000 years, having gone through heavenly tribulations and expending a long period of time."

Luo Feng's voice pulled her back from her icy thoughts.

"You are the queen of the Soft-Boned Rabbit clan, bearing the responsibility for your people, yet you entrust your life and future to the conscience of a human boy. Xiao Wu, don't you think this is foolish?"

"I----"

Xiao Wu opened her mouth, but found her throat was choked.

"Considering we're both soul beasts, and your bloodline is relatively pure, I'll give you a heads-up."

Luo Feng stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside.

"Stay away from Tang San. He's not a good match for you; he's your death warrant."

"Following him, your fate won't be much better than Ah Yin's."

"Even worse!"

"Because he is surrounded by too much scheming and ambition."

"7

Xiao Wu stood there blankly, her mind a complete mess.

Luo Feng's words clashed fiercely with everything she had firmly believed in over the years.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

She finally voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

Luo Feng turned around, and the moonlight shone through the window, casting a faint shadow on his profile.

"Because the soul beast race needs more clear-headed minds, not fools who are blinded by human emotions."

He paused, his tone softening slightly.

"You can choose not to believe and stay by Tang San's side, betting on his sincerity. Or you can choose to leave a way out for yourself and your clan."

"What backup plan?"

Xiao Wu asked instinctively.

"Cultivate with me."

Luo Feng looked directly into her eyes. "I will teach you how to truly control your power, how to establish yourself in the human world, and even—how to transcend the shackles of ten thousand years. In exchange, I need your loyalty."

"loyalty?"

"Loyalty to the Lord of Soul Beasts".

The vast, star-like aura of a true dragon emanated from Luo Feng once again.

Although there was no deliberate oppression, Xiao Wu could clearly feel the majesty of ruling over all beasts contained within it.

"You want to unify the soul beast race?" Xiao Wu was shocked.

"Soul beasts are declining while humans are gaining power. If we continue to be a disorganized mess and are defeated one by one, we will eventually become nourishment for soul rings and soul bones."

""

Luo Feng's voice carried an undeniable power.

"I need to consolidate my power, and you need genuine shelter and guidance. This is a deal, and your only chance."

Xiao Wu fell into a long silence.

The only sound in the living room was the ticking of the clock.

On one side is her third brother, with whom she has spent years, providing warmth and companionship.

And that seemingly wonderful future that harbors deadly crises.

On the other side was a dragon elder whom they had just met, whose aura was terrifying yet who spoke frankly.

It points to a path full of unknowns, but perhaps one that allows one to control their own destiny.

After a long while, Xiao Wu slowly raised her head. Although there was still struggle and confusion in her pink eyes, there was also a hint of determination.

"I—I need time to think."

"Can."

Luo Feng was not surprised. "Before you make your decision, I don't want any third party to know about my identity or our conversation tonight, especially Tang San."

"Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Xiao Wu shivered and nodded vigorously: "I understand."

"Go ahead. Training will proceed as scheduled tomorrow. Don't let anyone notice anything unusual."

Xiao Wu bowed respectfully and left the courtyard with slightly unsteady steps.

Luo Feng watched her disappearing figure into the night, his gaze deep.

Separating Tang San and Xiao Wu was just the first step.

This 100,000-year-old rabbit is simple-minded and sentimental, making it the easiest point of entry to sway.

Once she develops even the slightest rift with Tang San, things will be much easier to handle.

As for Tang San—

A cold smile curled at the corner of Luo Feng's lips.

So what if he's the chosen one? He'll personally nip those so-called opportunities in the bud.

Outside the window, the moonlight was intense.

The nights at Shrek Academy were exceptionally quiet.

But for some, their fate has quietly taken a turn starting tonight.
