Chapter 27 Thousand Cypress, Title Douluo?! Xiao Wu's Identity Revealed! A 100,000-Year Soul Beast!
Qian Daobai's gaze finally showed a slight fluctuation.
He stared at the girl on the ground, who was still performing with all her might, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
A faint but palpable killing intent, like a tangible chill, instantly enveloped Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu froze, her alluring expression instantly freezing.
She felt as if she were being targeted by an ancient ferocious beast; the chilling killing intent made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave from head to toe.
"senior!"
Her survival instinct made her blurt it out, her voice filled with genuine fear.
"Senior, you can't kill people! This is Heaven Dou City!"
"Please let me go, considering how young I am!"
"I really know I was wrong!"
She begged for mercy, and this time, tears truly streamed down her face.
Qian Daobai looked at her and finally spoke slowly.
His voice was flat and without any inflection, yet it was like a thunderclap that exploded in Xiao Wu's mind.
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast, claiming to be young?"
Buzz—!
Xiao Wu felt her mind go blank, and the blood in her body seemed to stop flowing for a moment.
What did he... say?
How could he have known?!
How is that possible!
This is her deepest secret, a taboo that she and Tang San carefully guard, and her greatest reliance in living in this world in human form!
But now, this white-robed youth in front of him has so easily exposed his ignorance with just a casual remark.
Xiao Wu's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.
Her face, which had just retained a hint of color, turned deathly pale in an instant, devoid of any life, as white as the finest Xuan paper.
"S-Senior... what are you... saying?"
Her voice trembled violently, each word sounding like it was being squeezed out from between her teeth.
The fingers, clenched so tightly on the bluestone slabs, turned white and the knuckles bulged.
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, and all she could hear was the buzzing of fear. All other sounds seemed to have faded away.
A thought flashed through her chaotic thoughts like lightning.
Those who can see through one's true identity at a glance must be at least... at least at the level of a Title Douluo!
He's so young... and he's already a Title Douluo?!
The fear of having her identity exposed in an instant, and the panic of learning about the other party's strength, intertwined with these two emotions, like an invisible hand tightly gripping her heart.
At this moment, Xiao Wu's psychological defenses completely collapsed.
...
at the same time.
On the roof of a nearby attic, a figure was hidden in the shadows.
Flander's expression was extremely grave.
He had been worried ever since he learned that the students were going to avenge Zhao Wuji.
Although these children are exceptionally talented, they are still too young and inevitably act impulsively.
He didn't stop them because he knew this was a necessary trial they had to go through on their path to adulthood.
But he can't really just leave it to its own devices.
When he saw Xiao Wu's plan, his heart skipped a beat.
A honey trap?
This trick might work against ordinary people, but it might not work against a powerful person who can kill Zhao Wuji silently!
Worried that Xiao Wu wouldn't be able to handle it alone, he quietly followed behind, releasing his martial spirit, the cat owl, and using its keen senses to monitor everything around the street corner from high in the sky.
His original plan was to immediately come to Xiao Wu's aid if she was in danger.
But what happened next was completely beyond his expectations.
From the moment the young man in white robes subdued Xiao Wu, to the last words he uttered.
"A soul beast that's a hundred thousand years old..."
When these words entered Flander's mind through the owl's perception, the dean of Shrek Academy, a dignified Soul Saint, couldn't help but stagger back two steps, almost falling off the roof.
His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief and horror.
Xiao Wu... is she a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?!
This news shocked him even more than the news of Zhao Wuji's death!
He tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
But when he saw Qian Daobai seemingly bending down, preparing to take the completely dazed Xiao Wu away, Flander could no longer remain silent.
He had only one thought in his mind.
We absolutely cannot let him take Xiaowu away!
"stop!"
A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
Flander leaped out of the shadows of the attic, his four pairs of wings suddenly unfurling, and his seven spirit rings instantly lit up.
He showed up without hesitation.
"stop!"
With a loud shout, Flander landed steadily in front of Qian Daobai, no more than ten steps away.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.
Seven spirit rings rose silently from beneath his feet, their dazzling light standing out prominently in the night.
The pressure from a Soul Saint-level expert spread out in all directions like a tangible wave.
However, faced with this aura that would terrify ordinary soul masters, Qian Daobai didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
His gaze remained fixed on the "rabbit" at his feet, which had completely given up struggling.
It was as if the seven-ring Soul Saint who had suddenly appeared before them was nothing more than an insignificant wisp of air.
This extreme indifference sent a chill down Flander's spine, and the words of accusation he had prepared stuck in his throat.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his unease, and adopted the demeanor of a college dean before speaking in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency."
"Xiao Wu is my student. I wonder what she did wrong to anger you so much?"
Flander tried to keep his tone steady, attempting to gain the moral high ground.
"She is still young and may act without thinking. If she has offended you in any way, I, as her teacher, apologize on her behalf."
"Please, have mercy on her this time. When I get back, I will definitely discipline her strictly and never let her cause trouble again!"
His words were reasonable and well-founded, and he adopted a very humble attitude.
Qian Daobai merely glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
"Your student?"
Qian Daobai finally spoke.
"A mere 100,000-year-old soul beast, does it even deserve to be your student?"
One sentence was like a bucket of ice water poured over Flanders' head and toes.
The last shred of hope in Flander's heart was shattered at this moment.
Looking at the white-robed youth before him, he felt a chill run up his spine and up to the top of his head.
Qian Daobai seemed to find the rabbit under his feet too much of a hindrance, so he gently lifted his foot, then bent down and, as if picking up a chick, lifted the limp Xiao Wu up with one hand.
He finally looked Flanders in the eye.
"However..."
"Her 100,000-year-old spirit ring does have some value."
"If you want to take her away from me..."
Qian Daobai paused, a faint smile curving his lips.
"You'll have to ask my sword first, whether it agrees or not."
