My name is Xiao Wu, and I am a transformed soul beast with a cultivation of 100,000 years.
My mother said she was 50,000 years old when she gave birth to me after a three-month pregnancy.
Of the hundreds of thousands
of children she conceived, only I cultivated to 100,000 years, thus allowing me to stay by her side. Although I haven't truly lived for 100,000 years, in the tens of thousands of years since, I, like my mother, have given birth to hundreds of thousands of offspring. They all affectionately call me "Mother," and now all the Soft-Boned Charming Rabbits in the entire Star Dou Great Forest are my and my mother's offspring.
However, it's a pity that none of them have been able to cultivate to 100,000 years. I'm so lonely!
Fortunately, I have my mother by my side, and also Da Ming and Er Ming! I am very happy.
But recently, my mother was killed by a very beautiful human woman, who absorbed her soul ring and took her soul bone.
I hate humans to death.
Today, I've decided to transform and, like my sister Blue Silver Emperor, venture into the human world. And I'll choose a highly talented human as my boyfriend, using him to help me take revenge. Ideally, a war will break out, destroying the faction that human belongs to.
Although the Blue Silver Emperor sister is dead, it seems the human who hunted her was also killed by her boyfriend. Hmm! Not a loss!

—The following is the main text—
The next evening, the group of four, including the zuzong, Blanklin, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San, returned to Notting City.
The four had different expressions. The zu zong hummed a little tune the whole time, very happy.
"The girl's feet are small and pointed, embroidered with a white jade bird. Someone with a heart went to catch her, but she flew away again."
Blanklin still maintained a refined appearance, his expression very serious, but he occasionally gave Yu Xiaogang a disdainful look.
Noticing Blanklin's gaze, Yu Xiaogang lowered his head. His already stiff face was now contorted into a grimace as he looked at Tang San walking beside him, filled with guilt and feeling a burning sensation on his face.
Tang San was even more listless, his eyes bloodshot, clearly having not slept all night.
Let's rewind to yesterday morning.
Under Yu Xiaogang's "influence," Tang San offered a "sincere" apology to the clan elders and addressed them as "ancestors."
Who was the zuzong? A model young man, excelling in all aspects of morality, intelligence, and physical fitness, and destined to be the most handsome man in the future of Douluo Continent. He naturally and sincerely replied, "Good boy, ancestors, I forgive you!" and offered to help Tang San find his spirit ring.
Yu Xiaogang, seeing the zu zong's generosity and selflessness, was immediately moved to tears.
The zu zong was equally generous, activating his Blue Silver Domain to its maximum, and in less than half an hour, found Tang San a 119-year-old, non-toxic, harmless snake that only knew how to catch mice at night and sleep in the sun during the day.
Originally, Yu Xiaogang intended to disappoint this kind offer.
But unfortunately, he inadvertently caught sight of the clan elder's eyes, bloodshot with sincerity.
For some reason, he inexplicably agreed, telling Tang San, "Little San! Don't underestimate this lazy snake, even though it's a shameless one. It's incredibly powerful! This is a powerful soul beast with a cultivation level of 419 years, very close to the limit of its first soul ring. It's perfect for you. Once you absorb it, you'll definitely be no less powerful than the clan elder."
Standing to the side, Blanklin watched, his contempt for Yu Xiaogang growing even stronger. This? A master, indeed! "Invincible in theory," indeed! He clearly only has a little over 100 years, yet he insists on calling it 419. However, he didn't say anything. After all, Tang San had already become Yu Xiaogang's student; if he said anything more, he might have to "pay back another shameless snake."
Our Tang San, hearing his teacher's "invincible theory," had eyes gleaming, greedily absorbing the knowledge. Without a second thought, with the help of zu zong and the head teacher, he successfully killed the Rascal Snake and obtained a yellow hundred-year spirit ring. He absorbed it successfully in less than an hour – the *Mysterious Heaven Skill* was truly amazing!
However, an unexpected event occurred.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass's first spirit skill was still the same as in the original story: Entanglement.
But after using the skill, the Blue Silver Grass became rough and unsightly, exhibiting the characteristics of the Rascal Snake: shedding its skin, resembling a plant vine just pulled from the water, nearly rotting – a truly disgusting sight.
This was bad enough, as its toughness had indeed increased considerably, but the Rascal Snake's habits were also inherited.
The released Blue Silver Grass branches and leaves became motionless and lifeless when exposed to light, only returning to normal at night, but the power was mediocre, a world of difference compared to the clan's Poison Dragon Entanglement. In some aspects, it was even inferior to a ten-year spirit ring.

Tang San's first Blue Silver Grass Soul Skill—invalid.
After entering Notting Academy, the four, each with their own thoughts, parted ways.
Yu Xiaogang took Tang San back to his residence to offer guidance and advice.
As the Dean of Studies at Notting Academy, Blakelin, besides completing the accumulated academy tasks of the past few days, also had to report the harvest of this Soul Hunt to the Dean.
As for zuzong? He had just obtained fourteen stealing opportunities yesterday. Of course, he was going back to his dormitory to prepare to steal behind closed doors.
Some might ask, what about the others in the dormitory? The answer is a sharp rebuke! Let them go to the small woods behind the mountain to practice their combat skills.
As the leader of Dormitory Seven, he's truly gone to great lengths! He's really worried sick about these nameless extras.
Wang Sheng (loudly): I have a name! I have a name!
Back at Dormitory Seven, Zu Zong found the door half-open.
There was someone inside, and a stranger at that. There was a fluctuation of soul power, slightly lower than his own; it seemed he was also a Soul Master who had just obtained a Soul Ring.
Perceptually, it seemed he was still lying in his own bed.
"Bang!" Zu Zong kicked open the door. "Who is it? How dare you sleep in my dragon bed?"
A pretty young girl lay on zu zong's bed, seemingly about the same age as him, though slightly shorter. Her delicate face was fair with a rosy glow, her tender features like a ripe peach, making one want to take a bite. Although she wore a plain school uniform, she looked very neat.
Her long black hair was styled into a scorpion braid that reached past her hips. A pair of large, watery eyes curiously stared at the newcomer.
The boy and girl locked eyes, their gazes filled with intense longing— but wait,
that's too much to ask. The girl blinked her large eyes, seeing zu zong's long, blue-silver hair and a face just as beautiful as hers, a sweet smile spreading across her face. "Hello! My name is Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' of 'dancing'!"
Holy crap, it's that old rabbit! Tang San is staying with that scumbag now, so they haven't met yet?!
Although he had wanted to scheme for the old rabbit's 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone three months ago, he couldn't bring himself to do it now.
Firstly, he couldn't bring himself to harm such a cute little girl,
even though her true form was a 100,000-year-old rabbit.
Secondly, even if he killed her, he wouldn't be able to absorb the 100,000-year soul ring with his current cultivation level; it would be a waste. The
zu zong nodded and asked in a low voice, "Why are you lying on my bed?" Xiao
Wu seemed not to hear him and didn't get up.
Instead, she blinked her big eyes and smiled, saying, "My martial soul is a rabbit. A very cute little white rabbit. What about you?" When she smiled, two adorable dimples appeared on her face, indescribably charming.
The zu zong didn't answer but instead summoned the Blue Silver Emperor with his right hand.
"This is..." The girl was clearly slow to react upon seeing it.
The zu zong closed his eyes slightly and nodded inwardly. It seemed that this old rabbit really did recognize the Blue Silver Emperor.
