Douluo Diary: The Martial Soul White Tiger Ability Lock

Diary System—Chapter 157: The hint in Dai Yichen's words: waiting for the fish to take the bait

"Grandpa, did something happen?" Dugu Yan asked with doubt as they left with Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo sighed and explained what had just happened, causing Dugu Yan to gasp.

Ferocious beast!

Okay, she knew this, but she didn't expect that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Biji would suddenly appear beside Dai Yichen.

Dai Yichen voluntarily entered the territory of the Star Dou Great Forest, so the rule of "not approaching Dai Yichen without permission" was invalidated. It was Dai Yichen who took the initiative to approach them.

"There's no need to be so nervous, Senior Dugu Bo. It's been several hours. If there were any danger, we would have encountered it already," Dai Yichen comforted them softly.

Dugu Bo also thought this made sense. Several people walked toward the periphery. Dugu Bo wanted to ask Dugu Yan what her third soul skill was, but they encountered a group of people dressed as students.

Dai Yichen immediately noticed something very obvious: one of them had rabbit ears on her head. Isn't that Xiao Wu?

Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan's diary copies also reacted, so they recognized them immediately.

Due to the appearance of the fierce beast just now, the Star Dou Great Forest might be in a more dangerous state during this period. Many soul beasts under ten thousand years old might come out to move around. This wasn't dangerous for them, but it might be for this group.

Moreover, Xiao Wu carried the aura of a hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast. If she stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for too long, it would attract the Titan Giant Ape, even if he had used the reward from the system to hide her Soul Beast aura the moment she appeared.

But in addition to her soul beast aura, Xiao Wu also had a unique human aura. Although it was a small probability, the Titan Giant Ape might still be able to "smell" it.

So, Dai Yichen spoke up: "We just came out from inside. Just now, a high-level soul beast—strength not weaker than a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast—appeared at the junction of the outer and core areas. If you want to hunt soul beasts, it's best to go to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest. Recently, the Star Dou Great Forest has been quite restless."

The "core area" Dai Yichen referred to was the pseudo-core area where the Titan Giant Ape was located. The central area, where Biji and others were, was the true core area.

The old woman leading the group heard this and her face changed. A hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast had appeared on the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. 

This was the first she had heard of it. She couldn't help but show a grateful look: "Excuse me, who are you? I am Li Juan, vice president of XX Low-Level Soul Master Academy."

As she spoke, her eyes looked at the old man next to Dai Yichen.

At this moment, she had a suspicion. Could it be that the person in front of her was Dugu Bo, Poison Douluo?

After all, if they truly encountered a soul beast with strength comparable to a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, then there was a high probability of a Titled Douluo in their team. Otherwise, how could they be so calm? Judging by their attire, they weren't injured.

There was no Titled Douluo in the Star Luo Empire, but recently, news had spread that Dugu Bo had taken his granddaughter away from the Heaven Dou Empire and left. His granddaughter was suspected to have enrolled in the Star Luo Royal Academy! 

A Titled Douluo leaving one empire to join another—such an event was explosive!

Dai Yichen subtly glanced at Xiao Wu in the team and seized the opportunity to get involved with her. If he could get her to enroll in the Star Luo Royal Academy, that would be even better.

This opportunity hadn't existed before, but now it did! 

In other words, what the system said was right: because of his existence, many butterfly effects had occurred on the continent. Xiao Wu's appearance in a low-level academy in the Star Luo Empire was strong evidence.

Well, this "Gou" system did a great job—the premonition dream was awesome!

Women: …

System: …

Dai Yichen looked at the old woman and said calmly: "Hello, I am Dai Yichen, the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, and the old man next to me is Senior Poison Douluo."

He introduced himself and Dugu Bo and the others one by one.

Normally, he wouldn't say his origin so openly; he would at most mention his name and that Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo to prove their identities.

But now that there were 'acquaintances', it didn't matter to be high-profile. Dai Yichen's words were full of hints.

As long as the old woman or Xiao Wu in front of him had the idea of entering the Star Luo Royal Academy, the bait was cast!

The old woman was stunned. The person in front of her was Dugu Bo, Poison Douluo! 

This trip was likely to be to obtain soul rings for his granddaughter. She didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would be with Dugu Bo.

"Greetings, His Majesty Poison Douluo! Greetings, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"

At her signal, everyone respectfully bowed.

Dai Yichen nodded, glanced at the old woman and Xiao Wu, and said lightly: "Alright, I've reminded you. If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."

After speaking, Dai Yichen prepared to leave. Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan exchanged glances, both feeling a little strange.

It shouldn't be. With Dai Yichen's temperament, he hadn't shown any expression upon seeing Xiao Wu just now.

It looked as if he didn't know her. Wasn't Xiao Wu's appearance ranked in the top five in his heart?

How could he be so calm?

Dai Yichen: Of course I am calm. I like Xiao Wu who is physically mature, not a little loli-like now.

You should know that Xiao Wu's appearance as a child was only slightly above average—not exactly stunning, and not even close to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. But after she fully grew up, she became the most beautiful woman in Douluo—crushing everyone else. It wasn't until Qian Renxue appeared that her ranking gradually fell behind.

"Wait!" The old woman suddenly stopped Dai Yichen from leaving, glancing at Xiao Wu beside her.

Then she asked respectfully: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, although it's not polite to ask on the first meeting, I'd like to inquire: the Star Luo Royal Academy is aristocratic. If there are civilians with outstanding talent, can they be admitted as an exception?"

Although Dai Yichen was only seven years old, the old woman could detect a slight trembling in her voice when addressing such a person.

It was already very difficult for her to speak confidently in front of these nobles. 

That was because the person in front of her was the Fourth Prince Dai Yichen, who had a very good reputation. If it had been other princes or nobles, she wouldn't dare to ask.

Because their reputation was usually not very good!
