Chapter 65: Chapter 65:Tang San: From now on, I will only kill evil soul beasts
Hearing that it was about Xiao Wu, Tang San became a bit anxious.
During the preliminary round, he had vaguely sensed that Xiao Wu seemed to have something weighing on her mind.
"Old Poison, what exactly is going on with Xiao Wu?"
"That child… Forget it, you'd better go ask her yourself. At this point, she should be willing to tell you. But you have to be mentally prepared."
Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, then left after speaking.
Tang San felt something was wrong and immediately went to find Xiao Wu.
Seeing that Tang San had come out of seclusion, Xiao Wu was very happy.
"Brother, you're finally out. How was your month of secluded cultivation?"
"Mm, it went well. Come with me for a moment, I have something to ask you."
Afterward, Tang San took Xiao Wu to a secluded area of the academy.
Xiao Wu looked a bit puzzled.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Tang San stared into Xiao Wu's eyes, his face serious as he said:
"Xiao Wu, are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu looked shocked. Like a child who had done something wrong, she immediately lowered her head.
"Xiao Wu, no matter what happens, you will always be my sister, one of the people closest to me. I will never leave you. Tell me, what's going on?"
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then finally gathered her courage and said:
"Brother, I actually wanted to tell you long ago, but I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it. I really don't want to leave you, or anyone else."
"What is it? Just tell me."
"The truth is… I'm not the same as all of you. I'm actually a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who has taken human form."
Tang San was utterly shocked when he heard this.
His Purple Demon Eye was still at the Subtle stage. Although he had taken an herb that helped with Mental Power, he hadn't reached the Mustard Seed stage.
If he had reached the Mustard Seed stage, he would have been able to see through all strange things at a glance and instantly recognize that Xiao Wu was a soul beast in human form.
"Xiao Wu, you're really not human? You're a soul beast?"
"Mm, I am a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit who has cultivated into human form again."
Afterward, Xiao Wu told Tang San her background and experiences in full detail.
Tang San was both shocked and furious after hearing everything.
Only now did he understand that Xiao Wu had come to the human world at the risk of her life to avenge her mother.
And the true culprit behind everything was the current Pope, Bibi Dong.
"The Spirit Hall! It's the Spirit Hall again!"
Tang San's eyes were filled with rage.
When he had asked Crown Prince Xue Qinghe about his parents, he had learned that his father, Tang Hao, had offended the Spirit Hall, which led to the Clear Sky Sect being hunted by them and eventually forced to hide their identities.
He didn't expect that Xiao Wu also had such a deep grudge against the Spirit Hall.
"Brother, how did you find out about my identity?"
"Old Poison told me."
"I see."
Tang San patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and comforted her:
"Xiao Wu, whether you're human or a soul beast, I'll never leave you. You will always be my sister, the person dearest to me. I won't let anyone hurt you."
Xiao Wu nodded, visibly moved, though a trace of worry still appeared on her face.
"Brother, even though I've taken human form again, I'm still a soul beast. Those top-level experts can still sense the soul beast aura in me. I really want to avenge my mother, but I'm afraid of dragging you all down…"
"Xiao Wu, don't say that. I have a way."
Tang San knew exactly what Xiao Wu was worried about.
Ordinary soul masters couldn't detect the aura of a soul beast on Xiao Wu, but those with powerful spiritual strength or those at the Title Douluo level certainly could.
Even someone like Dugu Bo had noticed that she was a soul beast in human form. How could someone as strong and mentally powerful as Bibi Dong not notice?
Once Bibi Dong discovered her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tang San's solution was to use immortal herbs to temporarily conceal the soul beast aura on Xiao Wu.
"Brother, what's your method?"
"I'll go to the Old Poison's herb garden and find some herbs that can conceal your soul beast aura. That way, no one will discover your identity."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu became a bit excited.
"Brother, will that really work?"
Tang San nodded and sighed.
"Too bad someone else got to the Yearning Heartbroken Red first. If you had taken it, you could've perfectly concealed your soul beast aura. Even if I find other herbs, they can only help you hide it for a while."
"Brother, just being able to hide it for a while is enough."
"Mm, as long as we make it through the finals without being discovered by Bibi Dong and those other experts, it'll be fine."
The weight on Xiao Wu's heart was finally lifted.
"Brother, it's really great to have you."
"Xiao Wu, don't tell anyone else about your true identity for now. There's no time to lose, I have to go."
"Mm. Brother, be careful."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'll go with the old poison. I'll make it back before the promotion competition."
Afterwards, Tang San found Dugu Bo and told him his plan.
Dugu Bo was rather straightforward and immediately agreed to accompany Tang San to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Sunset Forest was not far from Heaven Dou City, so the two of them arrived quickly.
There, Tang San found several herbs capable of concealing the aura of a soul beast. Afterwards, he and Dugu Bo left and headed directly to the Heaven Dou City Royal Hunting Grounds, where the promotion competition would be held.
Before entering the military camp, Tang San reminded him."Old poison, please keep Xiao Wu's true identity a secret."
Dugu Bo chuckled.
"What kind of person do you think this old man is? Whether she's a human or a soul beast has nothing to do with me. I won't mention this to anyone."
"With your word, I feel at ease. I'll have to trouble you to come with me."
"Alright, let's go."
Afterwards, the two of them found the Shrek team's resting area in the camp and went to Xiao Wu's residence.
Tang San took out a fragrant herb and gave it to Xiao Wu to consume.
A moment later, the medicinal effects seemed to take hold.
Tang San looked at Dugu Bo and asked:
"How is it? Can you still sense the soul beast aura on Xiao Wu?"
Dugu Bo shook his head.
"Little Monster, you've really got some skills. The aura of a soul beast on her is actually concealed."
Tang San nodded in satisfaction.
"Xiao Wu is, after all, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who transformed into human form. The medicinal effects of this herb can only last for about ten days to half a month."
"Mm, that's alright. The few herbs you have are enough for her to get through the finals."
Xiao Wu looked at Dugu Bo and said gratefully.
"Senior Dugu, thank you."
"No need to thank me. It was just a small favor. Alright, you two probably have a lot to talk about. I won't disturb you. I'm off."
After saying that, Dugu Bo left the tent.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were alone together. After chatting for a while, Xiao Wu, with tears welling up in her eyes, said.
"Brother, do you know? In the past, when you all hunted soul beasts, I really felt heartbroken, because they were all my kind. I also understand that you human soul masters have to do that to obtain soul rings."
Tang San patted Xiao Wu's head and comforted her."Then I promise you, from now on, I'll only hunt evil soul beasts."
