Chapter 210 Identity Revealed.
"Next, Xuanmo, the three of you, get ready. Senior Sword Douluo is waiting for you outside."
Grandmaster looked at the three of them and waved.
However, after he finished speaking, Grandmaster noticed Xiaowu standing behind Tang San, her face filled with complicated emotions.
Grandmaster's gaze immediately caught Liu Erlong's attention. Following her gaze, she also noticed Xiaowu's unusual expression. She asked with concern, "Xiaowu, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Xiaowu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't respond much, simply shaking her head to indicate that she was fine.
"If you're alright, why did you stop?"
"I... I just didn't want to go hunting for spirit rings."
After receiving Xiaowu's reply that she was fine and her reason for stopping, Liu Erlong breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in her opinion, her goddaughter's health was the most important thing, while spirit rings were secondary.
Grandmaster, however, was somewhat puzzled by this. This time, having Sword Douluo Chen Xin lead the hunt for spirit rings would undoubtedly be of great benefit to them. However, since Xiao Wu's body seemed fine, why did she consistently refuse to go?
This situation puzzled even Grandmaster.
Xuan Mo, however, immediately understood.
Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast in human form, and before level 70, she couldn't absorb spirit rings. Once she reached a bottleneck in her cultivation, she could cultivate her own spirit rings.
If she joined this spirit ring hunt, Xuan Mo didn't believe she could use any tricks against a level 96 Title Douluo without revealing her identity.
Meanwhile, everyone else present looked at Xiao Wu with puzzled expressions. If she truly didn't want to hunt for spirit rings, no one would force her. But at least, she should give everyone a reasonable explanation.
Seeing Xiao Wu's troubled look, no one wanted to pressure her, so they stood there, hesitant to speak.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong, seeing Xuan Mo's expression, immediately looked suspicious and whispered in his ear,
"Mo, do you know something?"
Xuan Mo, who had been watching the situation unfold, shuddered slightly upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words. He then looked at her with a reproachful expression.
"Rongrong, can you not do this next time?"
"Hmph! Don't be silly."
Ning Rongrong's pretty nose twitched slightly, and she expressed her dissatisfaction with her actions, complaining, "Don't change the subject. Tell me quickly, do you know something?"
"Cough cough! Oh my god..."
Xuan Mo almost choked on his own saliva, then looked at Ning Rongrong with a puzzled expression, his thoughts already wandering elsewhere. He couldn't help but think to himself, "How strange! Are all these girls' sixth senses so accurate?"
However, just then, "Hiss!"
Xuan Mo suddenly gasped, looking at the pretty hand pinching the soft flesh of his waist, and couldn't help but secretly groan.
"Rongrong, let go! You'll attract everyone's attention, and this really... Ouch! It hurts..."
Seeing Xuan Mo's cheeky expression, Ning Rongrong flung her hand away, lightly scolding, "You deserve it!"
But as soon as she said that, she regretted it, looking at Xuan Mo's waist with concern. "Did that pinch hurt?"
"Of course it hurt! It hurt like hell!"
Seeing Xuan Mo's feigned pain, Ning Rongrong didn't indulge him, giving him no kind look.
"Heh! You think I don't know? That little bit of force isn't even enough to tickle you."
At that moment, facing Xiao Wu's conflicted expression, Tang San suddenly stepped forward, looking at Xiao Wu who was slightly bowing her head and biting her lip, his face full of tenderness. "Xiao Wu, I know your predicament, but you'll have to face this day sooner or later. What's the difference between now and later?"
"Brother, you...you knew all along?"
Xiao Wu suddenly looked up, staring at Tang San in disbelief.
Tang San nodded silently. "After I consumed the 'Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew,' any illusion-type soul skills are ineffective against me..."
"But..."
"Silly girl, there are no 'buts.' I only know that you are my sister. And also, the person I love. I won't have a different opinion of you because of your identity, and I believe everyone feels the same way."
The Shrek Academy members looked at Xiao Wu. Except for Xuan Mo, although they didn't know what kind of riddle Tang San and Xiao Wu were playing, they all firmly gave their answers.
"You will always be a member of Shrek!"
Xiao Wu's eyes reddened slightly. She glanced at Tang San, then at the other members of the Shrek Eight, and finally looked at Grandmaster and the other three, before making a difficult decision.
Xiao Wu clenched her fist tightly and slowly uttered a few words, "I am a soul beast!"
"What?!"
Grandmaster exclaimed in shock. Looking at Xiao Wu, the Shrek Academy members, except for Tang San and Xuan Mo, all showed expressions of horror.
Others might not know, but Grandmaster knew all too well.
If a soul beast wants to transform into human form, it only means that its cultivation level exceeds 100,000 years.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Xiao Wu unconsciously clenched her hands. Although she had known this day would come, she hadn't expected it to arrive so soon.
In the past two years, Xiao Wu had already integrated into the Shrek Academy family, considering herself a part of it.
So what if she was a soul beast?
She only knew that she considered everyone at Shrek Academy as her family. Therefore, Xiao Wu was very concerned about how the Shrek Academy members viewed her.
At this moment, Xiao Wu felt uneasy. She didn't know if everyone could accept her identity as a soul beast, so her expression appeared somewhat hesitant and helpless.
At this moment, Xuan Mo and Dai Mubai were the first to stand up together, "Xiao Wu, no matter what, you are the sixth sister of our Shrek Eight Monsters, a member of the Eight Monsters!"
These words directly and firmly stated their position.
Then came Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. Although they were also shocked, Xiao Wu's identity didn't change their opinion. "Xiao Wu, I don't care about spirit beasts or anything like that. I only know that you are our best sister and confidante!"
Afterwards, Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu embraced tightly. Liu Erlong's words, "From now on, let your mother protect you from the wind and rain," immediately brought tears of happiness and emotion to Xiao Wu's eyes.
Finally, the words of Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Grandmaster completely put Xiao Wu's mind at ease. "Xiao Wu, you will always be a part of Shrek Academy. Forever!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Thank you everyone! I will definitely not let you down!"
At this moment, Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance and suddenly smiled, saying, "Xiao Wu, why don't you show everyone how to obtain a spirit ring without hunting spirit beasts? We can all protect you then."
Grandmaster nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"That's fine too. It'll broaden everyone's horizons and let them see what's really going on."
Seeing this, Xiao Wu didn't waste any time. She sat down cross-legged, her hands forming delicate pinky fingers, her right palm facing up, resting flat on her thigh, her left hand held upright in front of her chest, and began to meditate...
