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

Chapter 171 The Five-Year Agreement

Chen Xuan traversed mountains and valleys, and after half an hour, he finally arrived at the forest where the soul beasts were kept in captivity.

There was only a low wall here, only a dozen meters high, which was far inferior to that of Wuhun City. He and Xiao Wu easily climbed over it.

The two entered a new forest, where flowers and plants flourished and ancient trees stood in clusters. Although it was not as vast as the Starry Sky Forest, it still covered an area of ​​a hundred miles.

Even after taking a long detour, leaving Wuhun City, and arriving in the northernmost region, the journey back to the Star Dou Great Forest inevitably involves passing through that place.

Chen Xuan was certain that the only way through was fraught with danger, and that those people had laid an ambush for him.

"If it's really as you guessed, then you can leave on your own and don't worry about me," Xiao Wu said, her expression somewhat downcast, not wanting to drag him down with her.

"Impossible. Don't say such foolish things again. No matter what happens, I will never abandon you." Chen Xuan's attitude was firm. How could he abandon the mother of his child? That would be worse than being an animal.

Not long after arriving in this place, the two encountered harassment from soul beasts, which hindered their progress and caused them great annoyance.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts such as the wolf, the green snake, and the man-eating flower are lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on them.

More than 100 million soul beasts could not pose a danger, but Chen Xuan avoided them one by one, not wanting to waste time. What he wanted was a flying soul beast to carry them away into the sky.

As long as you don't venture into the deepest part, it's almost impossible to encounter a soul beast that's 50,000 or 60,000 years old; these outer areas are safe.

"There!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, pointing her slender finger in a distant direction.

There is a large mountain there, and on one of the large rocks, a giant bird is perched. It is completely black, with every feather shining black, and its body is estimated to be twelve or thirteen meters long.

After searching for several kilometers, a suitable target was finally found.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh. In the Soul Beast Forest, the mother of the child was even more powerful than her senses. Finding soul beasts was incredibly easy for her, as if she had opened her third eye and could pinpoint their location with pinpoint accuracy.

"Are you sure it won't obey us?" Xiao Wu asked, her heart filled with worry.

Before she took human form, she could probably command low-level soul beasts. Now that she has taken human form, she has lost many of the abilities of soul beasts.

"Don't worry, I'm 70% confident," Chen Xuan replied.

He blinked lightly, and his dark pupils instantly disappeared, turning his eyes blood red. In his pupils, two yin-yang fish patterns spun.

He had almost never used illusion magic before and was not skilled at it. This time, however, he was truly using the Kaleidoscope illusion magic.

Force cannot solve all problems, and Chen Xuan wanted to test the abilities of these eyes to see if he could control the giant bird.

Chi!

In the forest, lightning blazed and thunder roared. Chen Xuan's body was covered with an electric arc, stimulating his cells and meridians, and the Thunder Magic White Worm was activated.

In this state, all the cells in the body are abnormally active, and the speed and strength are three times that of normal.

brush!

Chen Xuan took a step forward, and his whole body soared into the air. In an instant, he reached the hundred-meter-high mountain, leaped over the mountaintop, and arrived at the top of the large bird's head.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" He instantly completed the hand seals and unleashed a Fire Release attack.

A giant bird, several meters long, was perched on a stone slab. A wave of heat hit it, causing it to open its eyes abruptly. Flames roared overhead, and a huge fireball descended from the sky.

It only awoke when danger was imminent, unaware that someone was about to attack.

The giant black bird was very agile. It flapped its wings frantically, creating a strong wind, and took off at the last moment, avoiding the fireball.

Behind it, the mountain was ablaze with flames, the fire spreading and setting everything ablaze.

However, before it could catch its breath, a kunai swept past, leaving a flash of light, and the human behind it, hundreds of meters away, suddenly appeared out of thin air, startling the bird.

Now that they were at close range, Chen Xuan didn't believe his opponent could dodge, so he decisively used genjutsu. His cold chakra ignored everything and directly invaded the bird's body.

The giant black bird let out a cry and struggled, its body, which was over ten meters long, trembling incessantly. But it quickly calmed down and hovered quietly in front of Chen Xuan, losing all its aggressiveness.

The Sharingan pattern appeared in the two pupils of the large bird, indicating that it had fallen under a genjutsu.

"Fortunately, it's just a soul beast that's a little over ten thousand years old." Chen Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his eye, feeling somewhat tired. He was still not very skilled at illusion magic.

Xiao Wu's red lips parted slightly, her eyes revealing surprise as she stared blankly at Chen Xuan sitting on the back of the giant bird. How did he manage to do that?

"It's getting dark, let's wait until night to make our move." Chen Xuan rode the large bird down and landed steadily on the ground.

This enormous, ferocious bird is now behaving like a pet, obediently allowing people to ride it—it's outrageous!

Looking at the large black bird, which was as docile as a mount, Xiao Wu opened her cherry-like mouth, feeling incredibly shocked and finding it hard to believe that it was real.

"How did you do that?" she questioned Chen Xuan, her eyes filled with vigilance, worried that his sorcery could be used on people.

"It's quite complicated to explain, and I wouldn't be able to explain it even after several days and nights, so I'd better not say it," Chen Xuanxin said with a smile.

"The sun has set, you should rest for a bit, then we'll be making a great escape," he said, changing the subject.

Xiao Wu remained wary, her beautiful eyes fixed on him sharply for a while before she looked away.

"Chen Xuan, I'm warning you, if you dare use that on me, you're dead!" She snorted coldly, leaving behind this harsh statement before turning to prepare.

Meanwhile, at the other side of the Wuhun City gate

After Yu Xiaogang's death, the Shrek Academy members and Ning Fengzhi and others were driven out of the Spirit Hall by the Pope.

Fortunately, Bibi Dong did not kill Liu Erlong and Flander; otherwise, no one could have protected them.

Their former best friend, who led the little monsters to victory and should have had a bright future, died tragically before their eyes. The two were devastated, their hearts shrouded in darkness, never having experienced such a dark period in their lives.

The rest of the Shrek academy members sighed repeatedly, lost in sorrow. Master had been with them for two or three years, and they had developed feelings for him. Yet today he had died tragically in front of them. What a pity!

At this moment, Flander suddenly spoke up, looking at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, and said, "Sect Master Ning, now that the competition is over, these children should graduate. You should take Rongrong with you."

"Yes, Rongrong has been away from home for two or three years, it's time for her to come back with me." Ning Fengzhi nodded, with a kind smile, exuding a gentle and refined air.

In fact, even if Flander hadn't said it, he had the same idea. The elders of the sect unanimously decided to groom Rongrong as their successor.

Oscar's face darkened, and he instantly slumped down. He kept glancing at Ning Rongrong, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent.

"Little monsters, you've graduated now. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path," Flander said, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The Shrek Seven Devils had lived together for so long, and were as close as brothers and sisters. Now that they had graduated, it was time to part ways, and no one felt good; they were all filled with sadness.

"Sigh, it's such a pity that Xiao Wu and Third Brother have disappeared. I wonder how they are doing." Ning Rongrong's face was full of worry, concerned for their safety.

"How about this, let's make a five-year agreement and meet again in five years at Shrek Academy. When Xiao San and Xiao Wu hear the news, they'll definitely come back," Dai Mubai suggested.

"A five-year agreement?" The Shrek team's eyes lit up, and after a moment's thought, they felt it was very feasible.

Everyone, including Flander and Liu Erlong, reached an agreement and made a five-year promise to reunite at Shrek Academy.

Finally, everyone from Shrek Academy parted ways, and Dai Mubai returned to the Starfall Empire, where he would compete with Davis for the throne.

Zhu Zhuqing made a surprising statement, choosing not to go back with Dai Mubai, saying that she had very important matters to attend to and could not leave.

Of course, that's not all. In that match, Dai Mubai was completely defeated by Davis. She was already utterly disappointed, so how could she be willing to continue down the same old path?

Zhu Zhuqing recalled that Chen Xuan had given her some advice, suggesting that perhaps she should take that step and try to fight against fate.

In the end, everyone went their separate ways. Ma Hongjun decided to help Flander manage the academy, while Oscar did not stay at Shrek Academy. He followed Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi and joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Qin Ming continued to stay at Shrek Academy to train people, Dugu Bo remained as his guest elder, and the four substitutes, who had not yet graduated, naturally stayed at Shrek Academy.

As the sun sets and night falls, the white moon hangs high, and countless stars twinkle, adding a touch of color to the dark night sky.

Soul Beast Forest

"We can set off now." Chen Xuan opened his eyes, his rest was over, and his physical condition had recovered to its best.

He picked up Xiao Wu, leaped onto the back of the big bird, and prepared to set off.

The giant black bird flapped its wings, causing a strong wind to rise from the ground. Then it took off, carrying Chen Xuan and Xiao Wu through the night sky, flying rapidly towards the exit.
