Somewhere in the Star Dou Forest.
Tang San and his companions were hurrying along, eager to leave the Star Dou Forest behind, a place of trouble and danger. They feared that Su Bai might return and retaliate against them.
As for Liu Erlong and Zhu Zhuqing?
After witnessing Su Bai's strength, they had given up. Su Bai's power was likely that of a Title Douluo, and they doubted they could escape unscathed from his hands. Unless they could enlist the help of a few other Title Douluo, but the chances seemed slim, and time was running out. Rescuing them now seemed futile.
Therefore, they abandoned Liu Erlong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Meanwhile, Tang San was lost in thought, his mind consumed with concern for Xiao Wu. Whenever he thought of Xiao Wu being threatened by Su Bai and forced to do things against her will, his heart ached terribly. He couldn't wait any longer, desperate to rescue Xiao Wu and bring her back to his side.
So, Tang San made a decision.
"Teacher!"
Tang San spoke up.
Yu Xiaogang stopped in his tracks, puzzled. "Xiao San, what's wrong?"
He still cared a lot about Tang San. After all, Tang San was his little guinea pig, the one to prove whether his theories could be verified.
After hesitating, Tang San said firmly, "Teacher, I forgot I have something to take care of. I'll be back soon."
"Xiao San..."
Without waiting for Yu Xiaogang's consent, Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and quickly disappeared, leaving no trace.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to go after him, Flender stopped him.
He advised, "You don't need to worry about Tang San. He's got protection; he won't get into trouble."
Yu Xiaogang paused, then understood Flender's meaning, nodding in agreement.
And then they left the Star Dou Forest.
...
After leaving the group, Tang San began searching for Xiao Wu's whereabouts in the heart of the Star Dou Forest.
He searched for a long time.
Finally, in the afternoon, he spotted the figure that haunted his dreams.
His heart filled with excitement, but he remained cautious.
He first observed from a distance.
After a while, seeing no one around, he knew his chance had come.
With determination, he hurried towards Xiao Wu.
At that moment, Xiao Wu was swinging on a swing.
Thinking about her son's words about protecting her, she smiled happily.
"Xiao Wu, I finally found you."
Xiao Wu was startled by Tang San's sudden appearance, and her eyes showed her surprise. Despite encountering Tang San and his group earlier, her mind had been preoccupied with thoughts of Su Bai. As a result, she didn't pay much attention to Tang San.
For a moment, she couldn't remember him.
"I'm Tang San."
Tang San introduced himself and reached out to Xiao Wu, smiling, "I'm here to take you away, away from that evil soul beast. I know you must have been forcibly taken by him. I'm here to rescue you."
"What are you talking about!"
Xiao Wu frowned slightly, displeased. "Don't you dare speak ill of Brother Su Bai. He and I are in love, and I wasn't taken by force."
"Not taken by force?"
Tang San was puzzled. This wasn't what he had thought.
Suddenly, something clicked in Tang San's mind.
He was sure, "You must also have someone important taken by him, right?"
He reassured her, "Don't worry. Once we leave, I'll arrange for someone to rescue them. Now, hurry and come with me. If he finds out, it'll be too late."
"You leave!"
Xiao Wu's expression turned cold. "I told you I wasn't threatened and won't leave. Brother Su Bai and I are already married."
Tang San gritted his teeth. "I'll still save you today, no matter what."
With that, Tang San attempted to forcefully take Xiao Wu away.
At that moment, a stern voice rang out.
"Stay away from my mom!"
Su Bailing's figure appeared, delivering a punch towards Tang San.
Tang San had no choice but to retreat to avoid the attack.
At the same time, he looked at Xiao Wu in shock, then at Su Bailing.
Did he hear correctly earlier?
Did the boy who attacked him refer to Xiao Wu as his mother?
She had a son?!
!!!
Tang San couldn't accept it, standing there in disbelief, his eyes vacant.
The woman destined for him actually had a son?
And with that evil soul beast?
For a moment, he struggled to come to terms with it.
The hatred for Su Bai surged within him.
Su Bailing assured Xiao Wu, "Mom, don't be afraid. I'll protect you."
"Son."
Xiao Wu was deeply moved.
Although she didn't need Su Wulian's protection, she was deeply moved.
Tang San remained adamant.
He believed Su Bai must have coerced Xiao Wu into bearing his child.
He was unwilling to give up, even after learning that Xiao Wu had already borne a child with Su Bai. He still intended to take her away.
"You brat, get out of here!"
"Today, I will definitely take her away!"
Tang San glared fiercely at Su Wulian.
In his eyes, Su Wulian was nothing more than a mere brat.
Despite being of similar age, Tang San had lived through his thirties in his past life.
"Bastard!"
"Martial Soul Fusion!"
Su Wulian was also furious.
The audacity of the person in front of him to underestimate him angered him.
Moreover, he had promised Su Bai that he would protect his mother.
Naturally, he wouldn't allow Tang San to take his mother away.
Directly, he activated Martial Soul Fusion.
Instantly, a dragon shadow appeared behind Su Wulian.
The dragon shadow bore some resemblance to Su Bai's Ancient Blue Dragon.
Yes, it was indeed the Ancient Blue Dragon.
Due to both Su Bai and Xiao Wu consuming the Transformation Pill, Su Wulian was born in human form.
Therefore, there wasn't much difference between Su Wulian and a human.
He had also inherited Su Bai's Ancient Blue Dragon bloodline, but now he existed as a Martial Soul.
At the same time, Su Wulian's spirit rings appeared.
A total of four black spirit rings emerged.
"How is this possible!"
Tang San looked at Su Wulian's Martial Soul in shock.
At a glance, it was a top-tier Marital Soul, surpassing even his Haotian Hammer in spirit pressure.
That alone was alarming, but more crucially, all four of Su Wulian's spirit rings were black, indicating they were all ten-thousand-year spirit rings.
Wasn't Tang San's Teacher, Yu Xiaogang, sure that a Spirit Master's first spirit ring could have a maximum age of four hundred years and the second spirit ring seven hundred years?
How was this...
Could it be that his Teacher was lying to him?!
No!
That's impossible!
His Teacher would never lie to him!
Tang San shook his head.
Apart from him, almost all the Spirit Masters he had encountered started with two yellow spirit rings, considered top-tier.
Hence, the problem lay with the brat in front of him.
But Su Wulian didn't think that deeply.
After activating Martial Soul Fusion, he charged straight at Tang San.
Tang San also began to fight back.
He directly used Blue Silver Grass to entangle Su Wulian.
But it was directly shattered by Su Wulian.
His Martial Soul, being that of the Ancient Blue Dragon, made his physical body invincible under the Martial Soul's enhancement.
Then, Tang San used all his skills, even resorting to hidden weapons.
But in the end, Su Wulian beat him bloody.
Against absolute strength, his petty tricks proved useless, leaving him bruised, battered, and bleeding.
At last.
Tang San cast a resentful glance at Su Wulian.
"Wait for me, I will definitely come back."
With that, Tang San dragged his heavily injured body and quickly fled.
