Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 57 Xiao Wu Returns Home (Part 1)

"She went to hunt soul beasts alone?" Su Yuntao asked in surprise. "Aren't you going with her?"

"Do you really think she's just an ordinary person?" Tang San countered. "You saw her personality at first, and she was a bit willful and domineering. Ordinary commoners wouldn't raise someone with that kind of personality."

Su Yuntao was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "It seems that it won't be easy for you to win her over."

Tang San: "???"

"However, I believe that with your talent, you can definitely win her over. After all, you are a true master of martial soul research, experimenting on yourself and absorbing a thousand-year soul ring beyond your level, instead of that joke."

Su Yuntao patted Tang San on the shoulder to encourage him, "If you get married in the future, you must invite me to your wedding banquet. By then, you might have already become a Title Douluo. It would be a great honor for a Great Soul Master like me to attend."

Tang San was speechless: "If you really attended my wedding, you would definitely be more than just a Great Soul Master."

"Haha, that's true. But with your cultivation speed, I'll be at most a Soul Venerable by then," Su Yuntao said with a lame joke.

During their discussion, they arrived at their first village: Zonghun Village.

As the name suggests, this village was once home to a Soul Master, hence the name.

It must be said that the villagers near Nottingham have a rather simple way of naming their villages.

the other side.

Xiao Wu went to the Star Dou Great Forest. After entering the edge area, she began to call for the Titan Giant Ape.

A moment later, a colossal creature over twenty meters tall pushed aside the bushes and came to Xiao Wu's side. However, it did not immediately reach out its hand, but instead showed a puzzled expression.

Although Xiao Wu has transformed into human form, in the past, the aura of a soul beast was very obvious, and it could be identified at a glance. Soul beasts also used this method to confirm their race and identity.

But now, Xiao Wu's aura of a soul beast seems to be faintly visible. If it weren't for the tiny bit that he could still sense, the Titan Giant Ape would have thought that she was a human who looked similar to Xiao Wu.

"Sister Xiaowu?"

"Huh? Don't you recognize me?" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, looking somewhat displeased. "You haven't forgotten your big sister in just this short time, have you?"

"No." The Titan Ape quickly shook its head, reached out, lifted Xiao Wu onto its shoulder, and headed towards the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, asking, "Sister Xiao Wu, did you come back this time to obtain a spirit ring?"

"Okay." Xiao Wu nodded. "Take me to the lake. I want Da Ming to take me to the center of the lake. There is the most life force there. I want to condense a thousand-year soul ring."

The Titan Giant Ape didn't know whether a Soul Master could withstand a thousand-year level Soul Ring in their second Soul Ring, but he slowed down and said, "Um, Sister Xiao Wu, we can't go to the Lake of Life. Da Ming has also been driven out of the lake and can no longer stay inside. Da Ming and I can only get close to it when we're drinking water; otherwise, we can only move around on the edge."

"Huh?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled. "Did some 100,000-year-old soul beasts from other places attack? You and Da Ming were no match for them? Our home was just taken away like that?"

"How should I put it?" the Titan Ape asked somewhat nervously. "Actually, we are latecomers. Beneath the Lake of Life lies an extremely powerful Soul Beast Lord who has been sleeping for a long time. Recently, he brought the Beast God and the others out."

"Beast God?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

"He is a Black Dragon, a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon, with a cultivation of nearly 900,000 years." A hint of fear appeared in the Titan Giant Ape's eyes. "I am a rare species among Soul Beasts. I can rival those with 10,000 years of cultivation in a hundred years, but after 100,000 years, the gap widens. I can only say that if he doesn't use his Soul Power, I am stronger than him."

Xiao Wu trembled all over: "Nearly nine hundred thousand years? How is that possible? My mother said that after one hundred thousand years, soul beasts can only live for a thousand years, otherwise they will be struck by lightning and die."

"That's right, that's generally how it is. It's a tribulation for soul beasts, but as long as you get through it, you can break through 100,000 years and accumulate 200,000 years of cultivation. And so on. Theoretically, if you get through nine tribulations, you can become a million-year soul beast, which is equivalent to the legendary gods among human soul masters."

A hint of longing flickered in the Titan Ape's eyes.

"The reason why my aunt chose to transform into human form was because she was close to undergoing her tribulation and knew she couldn't survive it, so she had no choice but to take human form."

"Heavenly calamities do not befall humans."

"Most soul beasts, even if they cultivate for 100,000 years, cannot withstand the heavenly tribulation. Therefore, there are actually quite a few 100,000-year-old soul beasts that are struck by lightning and killed."

After learning these secrets, Xiao Wu remained silent for a long while before asking, "So, when you two weren't around and my mother was hunted down, the black dragon didn't help?"

Although she knew those ferocious beasts had no obligation to help, Xiao Wu was still a little angry.

"Sister Xiaowu, this..."

Titan Ape didn't know what to say, afraid of hurting Xiao Wu's feelings, but seeing Xiao Wu staring intently at him, he still told her the reason.

"Beast God Di Tian is not fond of 100,000-year-old soul beasts that have transformed into humans, because that is equivalent to betraying the soul beasts. After all, the Heavenly Tribulation only targets soul beasts, and a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has transformed into human form is essentially still a human, even if it has not reached maturity. It's just that the essence of a 100,000-year-old soul beast still exists in its body."

"Actually, if Di Tian hadn't sensed the strength of my and Da Ming's bloodline, and if he hadn't been busy with another matter with other soul beasts that were over 100,000 years old, he would never have allowed your aunt to take you to live at the Lake of Life."

"After all, in their eyes, you who have taken human form are not only half betraying the soul beast race, but in terms of strength, your 100,000-year-old origin is no match for them. Even if you reach level 99, you can only live for 1,000 years. They might take a nap and you will die of old age."

"The reason we went out that time was because we were ordered by Di Tian to help capture a tonic that would be of great benefit to soul beasts."

Xiao Wu asked, "What kind of supplement is so important?"

"The lucky ones among the Ice Silkworm clan living in the far north found a large amount of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow. They ate, drank, and slept, and reached a cultivation level of 990,000 years. However, they don't have much offensive ability. Although they possess enormous energy and spiritual power, they don't know how to use it very well," the Titan Giant Ape explained. "Da Ming and I are actually just guarding the outer perimeter of the Lake of Life. After the other soul beasts have finished absorbing, it will be our turn."

"So, you two were thinking of hogging everything!" Xiao Wu was even more furious. Her own younger brother had kept so many secrets from his older sister!

"This...we dare not tell you about Di Tian and the others. If we dare to mention it, Da Ming and I will not have a future." The Titan Giant Ape said somewhat aggrievedly.

"Forget it, let's just find a safe place. I won't go to the Lake of Life. Let them use that place for now, and I'll take it back when I get stronger... You just need to help guard it later."

Xiao Wu had already realized that by choosing to transform into human form, she was no longer the same as a soul beast. If she went to the core area, Di Tian would definitely not welcome her, so it was best not to go.

Just then, a commotion came from not far away. A giant python with a bull's head found the Titan Ape and Xiao Wu and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, Er Ming..."
