Chapter 117 Xiao Wu was kidnapped
The Purple Demon Eye immediately noticed the greed flashing in Dugu Bo's eyes. Tang San didn't know why this Poison Douluo looked at Xiao Wu as if he was looking at a treasure mountain. He only knew that as a brother, he should protect his sister no matter what danger she faced.
"Wait a moment." Meng Shenji's voice suddenly broke the tense atmosphere between Tang San and Dugu Bo. "Your Majesty, let the three of us old guys experience your poison on behalf of the Shrek Academy."
Bai Baoshan and Zhilin, two members of the Education Committee, came to the back of Meng Shen Ji respectively. The three of them released a strong aura at the same time.
Meng Shenji's body instantly became illusory, and the whole person turned into a dark shadow. Thick black fog rose from under his feet, and eight soul rings, two yellow, three purple, and three black, bloomed at the same time.
A golden star furnace appeared in Bai Baoshan's palm, with seven silver stars shining brightly. Eight soul rings also flashed on his body.
There was only one Azure Ivy in Zhilin's hand, but the color of the vine was as crystal clear as jade. A faint green gas was released from the vine, filling the entire hall.
At this time, everyone on the Shrek Academy side showed some surprise on their faces, but none of them had expected that the three education committee members would actually become enemies with Dugu Bo for Shrek.
The confrontation between the three Soul Douluo and the Titled Douluo made the atmosphere in the entire Education Committee hall extremely solemn.
Meng Shenji, Zhilin and Bai Baoshan, the three education committee members, walked up to the Shrek group and used their own Soul Douluo aura to protect Tang San and the others.
It was at this time that Tang San turned around and hugged the trembling Xiao Wu. He felt something was strange. Whether it was the 100,000-year-old spirit beast Titan Giant Ape or Dugu Bo, the Titled Douluo, they all seemed to focus on Xiao Wu first, and didn't care about himself who had hidden twin spirits, or Ning Rongrong who had the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit.
Is there something on Xiao Wu that attracts the strong?
"Three members of the Education Committee, what are you doing?" Prince Xuexing glared at Meng Shenji and the other two.
"Prince Xuexing, you insist on doing what you want. After today, the three of us will go to His Majesty and file an impeachment complaint. Let His Majesty judge the matter." Meng Shenji was really angry. "Not only the students, but also the teachers at Shrek Academy are rare talents. If they can join the Royal Academy, the party that will benefit the most can only be the Imperial Royal Family. Why can't you understand this?"
"Forget it. This exchange and cooperation ends here."
Flanders' clenched fists slowly loosened, and his eyes hidden under the crystal glasses became calm again. He bowed slightly to the three teaching committee members, "I didn't expect that this visit would bring such trouble to the three seniors. Flanders is ashamed. Since Tiandou Royal Academy doesn't want to keep us, how can we force them? Even if we miss today, I'm afraid we will not have peace. The three seniors, I'll say goodbye here, and Flanders will visit again someday."
As he spoke, Flanders glanced at Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang and the others, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the hall.
Tang San still tightly protected Xiao Wu and left with Dai Mubai and other companions.
"Dean Flanders!" Meng Shenji shouted anxiously.
Flanders did not look back and led the Shrek group out of the door.
He knew that although Tiandou Royal Academy was good, it was not a place to stay for long.
The little monsters had gained a lot from their fighting spirit training in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena before, and it would be enough to sustain Shrek Academy for a long time if they go back and reopen it.
"Three members of the Board of Education. I'm sorry, but I think I will leave the academy as well."
The person who spoke was Qin Ming. How painful it was for him to bring his mentor and fellow students here to be humiliated?
"Teacher Qin, this, ah——"
After watching Qin Ming and the Shrek people disappear from their sight, the three education committee members closed their eyes in pain.
Prince Xuexing had a look of disdain on his face, while Xuebeng, who was standing next to him, had a smug look on his face, as if he had a sense of pleasure as if he had avenged himself.
Only Dugu Bo stood there expressionlessly. Ever since he learned the truth, his eyes had been fixed on Xiao Wu.
When a hundred thousand year old soul beast transforms into a human, it loses its own strength of a hundred thousand years of cultivation. This is the time when it is easiest to control and hunt.
If you can control this woman with scorpion braids, it will be equivalent to having a reserve of a hundred thousand year spirit ring and a hundred thousand year spirit bone.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's heart was filled with malice. He was already a Titled Douluo, and even if he had a hundred thousand year spirit ring, he could no longer absorb it, but he could leave it to his granddaughter or grandson-in-law.
Both the granddaughter and the grandson-in-law have the potential to cultivate to the Titled Douluo after taking the immortal herbs. If they have a hundred thousand year spirit ring to help them, their future achievements will definitely surpass Tang Hao.
What made Dugu Bo hesitant was that since this woman with scorpion braids had stayed with Tang San for so long, Tang Hao must have discovered her identity as a soul beast.
If I want to take action myself, I must get past Tang Hao.
Furthermore, a hundred thousand year old soul beast can also self-destruct and destroy its soul ring and soul bone after transforming into a human. It is really difficult to control it.
Dugu Bo finally understood why Tang Hao didn't just do it. Did he want to keep the woman with scorpion braids by Tang San's side so that she would be willing to sacrifice her spirit ring and spirit bone to Tang San in the future?
"You old man, everyone is gone. Why are you standing there like an idiot?" Xia Liang suddenly walked in from the entrance of the Education Committee Hall. Seeing Dugu Bo standing there in a daze like he had Alzheimer's disease, he couldn't help but tease him.
There was no one around, and Dugu Bo was not afraid of being exposed. He asked curiously, "Boy, didn't you get an external eye bone before? You said that the eye bone greatly enhanced your eyesight, right?"
"Yes. Now I can see things that ordinary people can't see." Xia Liang was puzzled. "Senior, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"When you came here just now, did you run into the group from Shrek Academy? Tang San, who was severely injured in the previous battle with Yanyan, was among them. Did you notice anything unusual about the woman with scorpion braids who was walking with Tang San?"
After hearing this, Xia Liang was a little surprised. Could it be that Dugu Bo was talking about Xiao Wu's soul beast identity?
"The woman with scorpion braids is called Xiao Wu, and her martial soul is a soft bone rabbit." Xia Liang said thoughtfully, "I saw the energy form of a rabbit on her body. That seems to be her martial soul, and also her body?"
"It is true." Dugu Bo was finally sure that he was not wrong.
"Senior, what's going on?" Xia Liang asked pretending to be ignorant.
Dugu Bo smiled, as if he was considering something, and walked towards the entrance of the hall with his hands behind his back.
Watching Dugu Bo leave, Xia Liang was also recalling the scene he had just seen using his clairvoyance to observe bones.
He discovered that Xiao Wu's entire skeleton was bright pink, which meant that all the bones in Xiao Wu's body were the prototypes of soul bones.
At the bone-observing level, one can indeed tell whether a soul beast will produce soul bones after death. This way, one can selectively hunt soul beasts in the future.
What surprised Xia Liang was that Dugu Bo discovered Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast. The fact that this Titled Douluo did not harbor any ill will towards his external eye bone which had not yet been completely integrated showed that he really regarded him as his grandson-in-law.
We are all family anyway, so it doesn't matter who hunts Xiao Wu.
If the person who attacked Xiao Wu was Dugu Bo, Xia Liang felt that he would not feel too much of a gain or loss. After all, Dugu Bo gave all the herbs near the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to him.
However, now that Tang Hao has lost the Blue Silver Emperor seedling, all he can do in a day is to stay by Tang San's side and not let anything happen to Tang San or Xiao Wu.
The last time Dugu Yan beat Tang San violently, it caused Tang Hao's revenge.
If Dugu Bo sets his sights on Xiao Wu this time, the significance will be different. Perhaps soon, a battle between Titled Douluo will break out near Tiandou City.
It seems that I cannot leave Tiandou City during this period of time and fight Tang Hao together with Dugu Bo. At least I can use the Susanoo Bow to interfere from a long distance and create favorable conditions for Dugu Bo to attack.
Xia Liang just hoped that Dugu Bo would not act on impulse. There was no need to get into trouble with Tang Hao now.
A few days later.
It did not affect the plot too much, and the butterfly effect was not that big.
Just like in the original novel, after the Shrek group was kicked out of Tiandou Royal Academy by Prince Xuexing, they came across Lanba Academy which was recruiting teachers.
Finally, Flanders and Yu Xiaogang discovered that the courtyard of Lan Ba Academy was actually their best friend, Liu Erlong, who was once the killing foot of the golden iron triangle.
Liu Erlong handed over the position of dean to Flanders, and just like that, Shrek Academy was resurrected, and was reborn as a regular high-level soul master academy.
Just like in the original novel, Dugu Bo secretly came to Shrek Academy, which was renamed from Lan Ba Academy.
The only difference from the original novel is that Dugu Bo's target is not Tang San, but the hundred thousand year old soul beast Xiao Wu.
Just a piece of ten thousand year soul bone is enough to cause two forces to fight to the death, not to mention the soul bone produced by a hundred thousand year soul beast, which also comes with a hundred thousand year soul ring.
Dugu Bo's cautious character prevented him from attacking Xiao Wu right away. After a few days of probing, he found that Tang Hao was not hiding nearby. Otherwise, he would not have allowed himself to get so close to the scorpion braided woman named Xiao Wu.
After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo decided to try his luck. He took the opportunity to kidnap Xiao Wu and then use poison and other methods to control her. Then he took his granddaughter and grandson-in-law and left Tiandou City to hide.
After he absorbed a 100,000-year soul bone and his grandson-in-law absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring, the two of them would work together to perform a two-in-one fusion technique. Would he still be afraid of Tang Hao coming to him?
Concealing his own aura, hiding in a secret corner, staring at Xiao Wu who was walking out of the academy gate with Tang San, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with determination. He felt that this matter should be done sooner rather than later.
Because Xiao Wu has settled in Tiandou City. In Tiandou City, there are also the two Titled Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
If they were to discover Xiao Wu's identity, it would be even more difficult for him to get the opportunity to become a hundred thousand year soul beast.
It is night.
After dinner, Tang San and Xiao Wu walked out of the academy for a walk. They chatted as usual, and there were some ambiguous actions and atmosphere between them from time to time.
Looking at Xiao Wu who was joking with him, Tang San suddenly stopped and asked tentatively, "Xiao Wu, that day at the Tiandou Royal Academy, you seemed to be very afraid of Poison Douluo?"
"Of course. He's a Titled Douluo, aren't you afraid?" Xiao Wu said with some reservation. "Since I was kidnapped by the Titan Ape last time, I have become afraid of powerful things. Brother, I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to see you again."
"Silly Xiaowu, the Titan Giant Ape is a soul beast. To it, soul masters are also a kind of food, so it kidnapped you. That Poison Douluo looks vicious and cruel. But I don't think he would take his own kind as food, so you don't have to worry about being kidnapped by him."
As he spoke, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with a strange look in his eyes. He didn't know what was going on, but now his feelings towards this sister seemed to be different from before.
Maybe it's because this sister makes people want to protect her too much.
"Xiao Wu, I swear, from now on, I will never let you be kidnapped again!"
Seeing Tang San raise his hand and swear sincerely, Xiao Wu was inexplicably moved, "Brother, it's great to have you."
Looking back at Xiao Wu's gaze, Tang San felt a throbbing feeling, which had appeared before, but this time it was obviously stronger. Looking back on everything he had experienced, Tang San felt that Xiao Wu in front of him seemed to be more than just his sister.
"Xiao Wu, wait for me." As he said that, Tang San walked towards a white daisy under a tree nearby.
The flower language of white daisy represents pure and innocent love. It also symbolizes happiness and hope.
Tang San wanted to pick this daisy and give it to Xiao Wu.
Just as he squatted down and broke the stem of the white daisy with his black jade hand, a sudden gust of cold wind blew, accompanied by a scream.
"elder brother--"
Tang San subconsciously turned around to look, only to find that Xiao Wu had disappeared, and only a cold aura remained nearby.
The white daisy in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. His Purple Demon Pupil glanced around and when he found that Xiao Wu was still nowhere to be found, Tang San's eyes were filled with fear and even despair.
When the Titan ape abducted Xiao Wu, would the helplessness and pain she felt be repeated?
"Dugu Bo?"
Tang San immediately thought of how Dugu Bo had been eyeing Xiao Wu covetously a few days ago at the Tiandou Royal Academy. To be able to kidnap someone without making any noise, perhaps only a Titled Douluo could do it.
Having experienced this once before, Tang San did not lose his calm judgment this time. After confirming that Dugu Bo had the motive to capture Xiao Wu, he immediately ran back to Shrek Academy to seek help from the teachers.
If worst comes to worst, he could still ask Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for help in dealing with Dugu Bo through a more powerful and sophisticated hidden weapon transaction.
In short, no matter what the cost, Xiao Wu must be safe!
Just as Tang San ran towards the direction of the academy, a man in black who had always shielded his own breath and mental power detection in a hidden corner had an ugly face under his black hood, even with a bit of anger.
He is Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo who secretly protects Tang San and monitors Xiao Wu, and is also Tang San's father.
Tang Hao felt that he still underestimated the temptation of the hundred thousand year soul beast.
Dare to take the risk of offending Haotian Douluo, it seems that Dugu Bo is really greedy. If so, wouldn't it be a disaster to keep him in the future?
Thinking of this, Tang Hao's eyes under the hood gradually glowed red. Although his head soul bone can block his own breath and mental detection, it can't cover up the murderous aura that suddenly appeared on him.
The last time Tang Hao went to cause trouble for Dugu Bo, he didn't kill him because it's not easy to cultivate to the Titled Douluo realm, so even though there were some grudges, both sides just endured it and got through it.
However, once an irreconcilable conflict arises between Titled Douluo, the outcome will inevitably be a fight to the death.
Tang Hao thought about using his own method to retaliate against Dugu Bo and kidnapping Dugu Bo's granddaughter as a warning to Dugu Bo.
But after thinking it over carefully, he decided to go all the way.
Because Dugu Bo knew too much, if he wanted Tang San and Xiao Wu to live a stable life in Shrek Academy in the future, he had no choice but to cut the grass at its roots.
Otherwise, with Dugu Bo's personality, if he keeps thinking about Xiao Wu, a hundred thousand year old soul beast, who knows what he will do.
