In Douluo Continent, I saved Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning.

A thunderclap suddenly rose from the ground.

The terrifying pressure of soul power made it hard to breathe.

"It's over... I'm probably going to die soon..." Ning Rongrong's face was ashen.

She regretted it.

I shouldn't be so willful, nor should I be so curious.

"Click".

A blinding white flash of lightning streaked across the sky. Ning Rongrong could only close her eyes in despair.

but.

She did not live to see death.

She slightly opened her eyes. To her horror, Ning Rongrong discovered that a large tree, enough for three people to encircle, had silently turned into countless fragments in a flash of lightning a dozen meters away from her.

A figure appeared behind the big tree.

"Phew... That scared me to death... There were other people hiding here."

Ning Rongrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As far as the eye could see, the person was dressed in clothing almost identical to that of Dai Mubai's bodyguards.

Without a doubt, this is also one of the Dark Guards.

However, unlike the previous two, this person was several times stronger.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, seven soul rings pulsating.

That's right, this is a terrifyingly powerful seventh-ring Soul Saint!

"You lowly insect, I guess you're number one?"

Big Black became interested and revealed a smile in anthropomorphic form.

"Yes Yes."

Number One's voice trembled slightly as he answered in a shaky voice.

His purpose here is simple.

It means taking Zhu Zhuqing away.

However, he never expected to witness a scene he would never forget.

Who would have thought?

That seemingly insignificant mongrel was actually such a terrifying spirit beast.

With a wave of his hand, he pierced through the void.

Do you believe it?

Even his Star Luo Empire didn't have such a powerful expert. Yet, he happened to encounter one.

This is really damn unlucky.

The empire is likely in trouble.

I must pass this message back.

"You think you can run away?"

Big Black's gaze immediately turned cold.

Sure enough, if there's a number two, there's a number one. There's even a number zero. Big Black believes that the only way to get rid of these flies is to swat them dead.

Therefore.

As it wished, it stretched out a paw and casually pressed it against Number One from afar.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar erupted.

In the void, it seemed as if an invisible mountain had fallen upon Number One.

The Soul Saint-level expert was pressed into the ground like a nail.

It really was like a worm that had been crushed.

"Finally, it's quiet."

Big Black shook its head slightly.

Then, its gaze swept across Ning Rongrong's location like lightning: "This time, aren't you coming out?"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Your Soul Bone and Soul Ring Have Been Pre-selected

"It's over, it's over, I'm doomed. Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I may never see you again!"

These thoughts flashed through Ning Rongrong's mind.

This time I must have been discovered. Luckily, I can visit again?

Even Soul Saint level experts have been discovered; how can I possibly remain hidden?

Stop deceiving yourself.

However, just as she was about to appear, her movement suddenly faltered.

Because a tall, beautiful figure emerged from the bushes not far in front of her.

The girl wore a long pink dress, and her long hair was tied into a ponytail behind her.

Most importantly, she recognized the girl.

It was Xiao Wu, a freshman who enrolled at the same time as him!

What's she doing here? Is she just as curious as I am?

But, it's over.

She won't end up like that Soul Saint, crushed to death by that Soul Beast Overlord, will she?

What should I do? Should I save her?

I'm waiting online, it's urgent.

but.

There was no scene of blood and flesh splattering.

She realized that the two seemed to know each other.

"You finally decided to show up."

Big Black stood with its arms crossed, looking down at Xiao Wu as if it were a person.

"me……"

Xiao Wu nervously gripped her sleeve tightly.

It's like a child who has done something wrong, taking a long time to utter a single word.

"Master, is he alright?"

"Hmph, you dare mention the master?" Big Black's eyes were filled with disdain.

Master, the Soul Beast Overlord actually has a master?

Ning Rongrong witnessed the terror of Dahei firsthand. So who is qualified to be its owner?

At that moment, a tremendous storm surged within her.

Wait a minute...

I seem to have overlooked something.

Xiao Wu and this big black dog seem to be talking about the same person as their owner?

The more Ning Rongrong thought about it, the more alarmed she became; the amount of information was overwhelming.

But at this moment, the big black creature suddenly uttered a startling statement: "Master saved you during the heavenly tribulation. Not only did you not know how to repay his kindness, but you also secretly left after transforming into human form. You..."

Did you know that the master was heartbroken for quite a while?

No, I didn't.

Xiao Wu's face was ashen.

A corner of long-forgotten memory was stirred in my mind.

At that time, she was still a soul beast, about to perish under the heavenly lightning.

A person appeared. He simply said, "These dark clouds should dissipate by now. They're making me anxious."

Then, the wind and thunder that filled the sky, upon receiving the imperial decree, all dissipated.

And I, barely alive, was taken home by that man. And raised as... an ordinary rabbit.

The scene ends abruptly there.

After a while, Xiao Wu finally slowly broke free from her memories. "I just wanted to see the outside world. I also wanted to grow up quickly to avenge my mother..."

"Is the outside world better than what I have here with my master? By following my master and pursuing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, even as a soul beast, my cultivation has never lagged behind."

"Let me tell you, not long ago, with my master's help, I broke through the 800,000-year cultivation mark."

Dahei added, "It won't be long before I break through the million-year mark and break the shackles that prevent soul beasts from becoming gods."

"what!"

Xiao Wu's body swayed involuntarily, clearly indicating that she had been greatly affected.

"If you are willing to come back with me, perhaps the master will forgive you. With the master's help, even if you take human form and start cultivating again, becoming a god will not be difficult."

After a moment, seeing that Xiao Wu remained silent, Da Hei's expression finally softened.

A soul beast that's 800,000 years old, or even potentially 1 million years old?

Ning Rongrong swallowed hard.
