Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 124 Soul Beast Identity Exposed

Soul Beast Forest

Chen Xuan sensed the location of the marker and followed the tree-lined path. Fortunately, there were no large soul beasts in this area, so there was no danger.

Half an hour later, he arrived at a spot three kilometers away and spotted a bright pink figure near a patch of bushes.

Xiao Wu sat there cross-legged, her body glowing with golden light, as if she were bathed in sunlight, shimmering and sparkling.

Sure enough, she deliberately ran that far in order to condense her soul ring without being discovered.

Chen Xuan leaned leisurely against a large tree, waiting for Xiao Wu to condense her soul ring. At the same time, he released his wide-range perception, covering an area of ​​two hundred meters, so that he could know in advance any movement.

"Why didn't you find a safer place?" He was speechless; large wild animals were already roaming this forest.

On their way here, they encountered several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, which meant that they were about to reach the depths of the forest.

"Unfortunately, there isn't one suitable for me." Chen Xuan shook his head. This time, he wanted to find a wind-controlling soul beast to enhance his wind-attribute soul skills.

Back then, he absorbed a lightning fish in the Star Dou Great Forest, which raised his lightning attribute soul power by two or three stages.

The power of a soul skill can only be enhanced by combining with the power of this world.

"I wonder if her limits have increased," Chen Xuan murmured.

The ruby-like fruit enhanced his physique, and with the lightning baptism of his body, the limit of his ability to withstand spirit rings was raised to nearly ten thousand years.

After Xiao Wu ate that crystal carrot, her soul power had already exceeded level 40. After such a long period of accumulation, is it possible that her body's endurance limit could reach ten thousand years?

Chen Xuan felt that even if it didn't reach 10,000 years, it should still be over 9,000 years.

Xiao Wu sat on the lawn, her soul power surging, her body radiating golden light, still condensing her soul rings.

Half an hour later, the light on her body gradually dimmed and receded into her body, and the fluctuations of her soul power also disappeared. It seemed... to be over.

"Level 43!" Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with joy, her face beaming with happiness.

"Congratulations."

In an instant, her body tensed, she felt a chill run through her, and her slightly joyful expression froze.

The two words, spoken suddenly and calmly, sounded like the whisper of a demon to her ears—chilling and sending a chill down her spine.

Xiao Wu was frightened, her eyes filled with fear. She stiffly looked up at the direction from which the sound came.

Sitting on a branch of a large tree overhead was a fairly handsome man, looking at her with a calm expression.

"Chen Xuan, it's you!" Xiao Wu's pupils contracted, utterly surprised.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief, but quickly became alert again, watching her opponent intently, preparing herself for battle.

"If it wasn't me, who else could it be?" Chen Xuan was speechless. He had been protecting the Dharma for more than half an hour, and had even driven away several small soul beasts during that time.

Xiao Wu's face turned pale, and she felt a chill run through her from head to toe. She asked nervously, "Chen Xuan, how long have you been here?"

Her voice trembled slightly, her body gradually tensed, and there was a pleading look between her brows, hoping that the other party had just arrived and had not seen her condensing her soul ring.

Unfortunately, her hopes are unlikely to be fulfilled; reality is exactly what she feared.

"I arrived not long after you absorbed the spirit ring," Chen Xuan answered truthfully, there was no need to lie.

Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled violently.

"You...you saw it all!"

Chen Xuan nodded, then looked puzzled. Who wouldn't have noticed such a commotion?

At this moment, Xiao Wu felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, and the way she looked at Chen Xuan changed.

She knew all too well what it meant to reveal one's soul beast identity to a soul master; even the closest people could turn against each other.

A 100,000-year soul ring, and a 100,000-year soul bone—who wouldn't be envious?

Even if the other party cannot absorb the 100,000-year soul ring, the information can still be given to a powerful figure, and a generous reward can be obtained.

"You... what do you want!" Xiao Wu clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth.

"What? How?" Chen Xuan was taken aback, somewhat unable to react.

After a moment's pause, he suddenly realized and said, "Are you referring to your soul beast identity? I already knew that."

"You already knew!" Xiao Wu stared wide-eyed, overwhelmed by the information; it was another heavy blow.

She quickly realized the loophole. If she had discovered it earlier, why didn't she expose her? She could have told the Title Douluo, and he would have been able to protect her and reward her.

Moreover, aren't humans the ones who hate and despise soul beasts the most? Chen Xuan knew about her soul beast identity a long time ago, so why would he have violated her before?

"You...you must be lying. If you really knew, you would have killed me to get the 100,000-year-old soul bone." Xiao Wu trembled and kept backing away, not believing Chen Xuan's sweet words. No one can resist the temptation of a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately laughed. This little girl was usually silly, but she became clever at times like this.

"Fool, don't overthink it. I've never thought of anything that would be detrimental to you." His smile faded, and he became extremely serious.

"Men's words are deceitful, I don't believe you!" Xiao Wu looked nervous, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her gaze towards Chen Xuan was full of vigilance.

Her heart was pounding, she felt unsafe, and kept backing away, keeping her distance from the other person.

"Fool, do you think I would lie to you?" Chen Xuan stood still, not taking a step, afraid that the other party would react too strongly.

He activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, his pupils turning blood-red and forming a yin-yang symbol. He said, "From the moment I opened these eyes, I saw through your soul beast identity."

Xiao Wu stopped in her tracks, her expression conflicted, clearly hesitant.

Because Chen Xuan was right, there was no need to deceive her. Moreover, the other party's eyes gave her a chilling and bone-piercing soul power that was extremely strong.

She still didn't believe Chen Xuan, but she wasn't as afraid anymore. Back when he was in the Soul Sect, he could take on the entire Tianshui Academy single-handedly. Now that he had cultivated to the Soul King level, if he wanted to harm her, she would have been captured long ago.

"Then...when did you find out?" Xiao Wu asked, though she wasn't as scared anymore, she was still wary of Chen Xuan.

"Before the start of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament," Chen Xuan confessed, no longer intending to hide it.

He sighed slightly, knowing that his wife wouldn't trust him anytime soon.

Xiao Wu didn't believe it, and a hint of anger appeared between her brows. She questioned, "You're lying. If what you said is true, then... then why did you touch me... Don't you humans hate soul beasts the most?" As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

She knew this all too well, so she was terrified of revealing her soul beast identity. If her third brother knew this, and her companions knew she wasn't human, would they still like Xiao Wu? Would they turn against her?

Her identity has been exposed. Will she be able to return to Third Brother and everyone else's side in the future?

Xiao Wu's eyes welled up with tears, her heart heavy with sorrow. The thought of Rongrong, Zhuqing, and everyone else showing her such disgust, even turning against her with weapons, filled her with anguish. She truly did not want such a thing to happen.

Chen Xuan's gaze softened considerably, and he sighed, "I didn't want things to turn out like this either. If I had known beforehand that those two rare fruits were dual cultivation fruits, I would never have let you eat them."

He only found out today that the system told him after he broke through level 50 that it was a rare fruit that promoted dual cultivation, and that he absolutely did not intend to violate Xiao Wu; he could swear on that.

Xiao Wu didn't speak, but the wariness in her eyes had lessened somewhat.

"What's done is done, there's no point in discussing it." Chen Xuan has never been one to shirk responsibility.

He took a deep breath, his eyes firm, and looked at Xiaowu solemnly, saying, "I know you don't need me to take any responsibility, and perhaps you still hate me deep down, but you are pregnant, and I must be responsible for you and for the child."

Xiao Wu's delicate body trembled slightly, her heart felt as if it had been clenched, and she looked at Chen Xuan with a shocked expression, saying, "You...you knew everything!"

Her voice trembled slightly, incredulous. Chen Xuan really did know everything.
