Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 33 Heading to the Star Forest

Shrek Academy.

The deathly silence was broken by Xiao Wu's tearful voice.

"I...I didn't mean to hide it from everyone..."

Looking at the tearful, vulnerable, and helpless girl before them, the shock and horror in everyone's hearts were gradually replaced by a complex emotion.

Especially Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, her close companions.

How could that lively, playful, and sometimes a little willful Xiao Wu be equated with a ferocious 100,000-year-old soul beast?
"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San's voice trembled slightly; his emotions were turbulent and complex.

He was more shocked and found it harder to accept than anyone else.

The girl he cherished and vowed to protect with his life was actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form.
But after only a moment of distraction, looking at Xiao Wu's pale and terrified face, he instantly felt a surge of heartache and an even stronger desire to protect her.

She is Xiao Wu, and that's enough.

Whether she is human or a soul beast, she is the one Tang San has chosen.

He suddenly took a step forward.

"Dean, Professor Zhao! Everyone!"

Tang San's voice was resolute and carried an unquestionable seriousness.

"Xiao Wu is my partner, a member of the Shrek Seven Devils. No matter what her identity is, that will never change!"

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and analyzed the deadly crisis before him.

"The Spirit Hall... will never let this opportunity pass. They have likely already dispatched powerful experts who are on their way to Soto City."

"At that time, not only will Xiao Wu's life be in danger, but the entire Shrek Academy will also suffer annihilation for protecting her!"

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu with a heavy gaze, his tone filled with indescribable heartache and reluctance: "Xiao Wu, we don't mind your identity, but we can't stay here any longer."

"You must leave immediately, go as far away as possible, and find a safe place to hide!"

Flander adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses filled with determination. He slapped Zhao Wuji's shoulder heavily: "Xiao San is right, Xiao Wu, you have to leave right now!"

"Zhao Wuji, get ready, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened!

An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended suddenly, like Mount Tai pressing down.

A dark figure appeared in the center of the playground without warning, like a ghost.

Right in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu.

The newcomer was shrouded in a tattered black robe, was tall, and exuded a strong, pungent smell of alcohol.

"who!"

Flander's expression changed drastically, and he instantly activated his martial spirit, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Those who can appear before them silently and exude such a terrifying aura must be top-tier experts.

However, the dark figure ignored them and slowly raised its hand, removing the hat covering its head.

His face, covered in stubble and etched with the marks of time, still revealed the resolute features of his past.

Upon seeing that face, Tang San was struck dumb, his body jolted violently, and his eyes filled with unbelievable joy and excitement: "Dad?!"

The person who arrived was none other than Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo who had disappeared many years ago.

The moment Yu Xiaogang saw Tang Hao's face, his pupils contracted sharply, and an extremely complex expression appeared on his face.

He took a deep breath and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Xiao Wu's already pale face turned deathly white the moment she heard the words "Your Majesty Haotian".

She instinctively gripped Tang San's arm tightly, her eyes filled with extreme fear.

Titled Douluo!

Tang San's father was actually a Title Douluo.

He had been living under the nose of a Title Douluo all along... Had he... seen through him long ago?

Tang Hao seemed to sense Xiao Wu's fear. His weathered face remained expressionless as he spoke in a hoarse, low voice.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. I am already a Title Douluo and don't need your spirit rings."

"As long as you are sincere towards the other woman, I will not hurt you."

These words acted as a reassurance, allowing Xiao Wu to relax her tense nerves slightly, but the fear still lingered.

Tang Hao stopped looking at her and turned his gaze to Flander and Zhao Wuji, his tone carrying an unquestionable command.

"We can't stay here any longer. The people from the Spirit Hall will be here soon."

His gaze finally landed on Tang San and Xiao Wu: "You two, come with me."

"Dad, where are we going?"

Tang San asked hurriedly.

"Starry Sky Forest, Core Area"

Tang Hao stated succinctly, "Only there can her safety be guaranteed for the time being."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes—a longing to go home.

She looked at Tang San with lingering reluctance, a thousand words stuck in her throat, finally turning into a tearful plea: "Third Brother, you, you must take care!"

"go!"

Without further delay, Tang Hao waved his hand, and a surge of powerful soul energy swept up Tang San and Xiao Wu before he vanished.

It shot into the sky like a black meteor, rapidly heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

On the Shrek Academy playground.

Only Flander, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai, and others remained, looking at each other in disbelief and still feeling lingering fear.

……

Just as Tang Hao was leading Tang San and Xiao Wu toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, on the shore of the Lake of Life.

Two enormous creatures were churning the lake water restlessly, their terrifying aura causing the surrounding millennia-old soul beasts to prostrate themselves on the ground, too afraid to approach.

One of them, a giant ape with a body as large as a mountain and covered with muscles like rocks, was none other than the forest emperor, Titan Giant Ape Erming.

It pounded its chest, letting out a deep, thunderous roar, its voice filled with anxiety: "Big brother, Tianmu has exposed Sister Xiaowu's identity, and the entire continent of humanity knows!"

"It's too dangerous for Sister Xiaowu in the human world, we must go and bring her back!"

Beside it, a huge bull's head emerged from the lake, with a python's body coiled around it.

It exuded an aura even deeper and more terrifying than that of the Titan Ape; it was none other than the Azure Bull Python, Daming.

Its enormous, lantern-like eyes were filled with solemnity and worry: "Erming, calm down. If Sister Xiaowu's identity is exposed, the strong people of the human world, especially the Spirit Hall, will definitely not sit idly by."

"If we rashly intrude into the human world, we will attract too much attention and may cause trouble for Sister Xiaowu."

"But……"

Erming was so anxious that he stomped his feet, causing the ground to tremble.

"But we can't just ignore it!"

Da Ming's voice suddenly became firm.

"Get ready, we're going together. No matter what, we must make sure Sister Xiaowu returns safely!"

"If any foolish human dares to stop us..."

A chilling killing intent flashed in its eyes.

The two forest kings reached a consensus.

Their massive bodies moved like two shifting mountain ranges, leaving the Lake of Life and heading towards the outer edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
