The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 91 Xia Liang and Xiao Wu

Tang Hao was not around at the moment, making this the perfect opportunity to hunt down Xiao Wu.

After a moment's thought, Xia Liang dismissed the idea. Since Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, killing her now would at most yield a 100,000-year-old soul bone, while the 100,000-year-old soul ring would be wasted.

Instead of targeting her now, we should maximize our gains and then seize the soul ring and soul bone when needed.

Moreover, Xiao Wu's spirit rings are not suitable for the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul.

Opportunities like today don't come every time. Why don't we just capture Xiao Wu and imprison her in the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch?

Xia Liang shook his head, once again rejecting the sudden thought.

Xiao Wu is, after all, a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Unless her soul is imprisoned, rendering her body as immobile as a corpse, it is impossible to truly imprison her.

Imprisoning the soul?

Xia Liang's eyes lit up; he did indeed have a way to imprison souls.

The newly acquired fourth soul skill, Demon Eye Soul Absorption, is a pupil technique that exerts strong control over the soul. When used in conjunction with the Undead Domain, it can produce unexpected effects.

Soul beasts sacrifice their own souls and cultivation to tamper with Xiao Wu's soul. Even if she sacrifices herself to Tang San, the final benefits will be transferred to the domain's master through the connection with the undead domain.

Xiao Wu's soul currently only possesses the strength of a Soul Master, making it easy to tamper with her soul.

It wasn't until Xiao Wu successfully condensed her third spirit ring that the Titan Giant Ape left. It flew over Xia Liang's head, and after several leaps, it disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Wu surveyed her surroundings and, finding no trace of any Soul Masters or Soul Beasts nearby, skipped and hopped towards the place where the Shrek Academy group had originally been.

To avoid alerting the other party, Xia Liang kept a distance of 500 meters from Xiao Wu and walked for a while before speeding up to catch up.

"Sister Xiaowu." The sudden call made Xiaowu turn her head curiously to look behind her.

When she saw Xia Liang walking over, her eyes were full of confusion.

The nickname "Sister Xiaowu" is used only by people from Notting Academy.

Could it be that the other person was once a student at Notting College?

"Sister Xiaowu, it's been a long time." Xia Liang walked up to Xiaowu and said with a smile.

Xiao Wu circled around Xia Liang, scrutinizing him curiously before asking, "Are you a work-study student in Dormitory 7 of Notting Academy?"

"Yes. Didn't my appearance change drastically after absorbing my first spirit ring?"

Upon hearing this reminder, Xiao Wu suddenly realized, "You're that ugly monster with the skeleton martial soul!"

"Mm." Xia Liang nodded, not minding others calling him that.

"I remember your name is something like Liang? Xia Liang? You're the one who graduated early, right?" Xiao Wu suddenly remembered.

Xia Liang nodded again.

"How did your appearance recover? And you don't look ugly at all now, so I can't call you an ugly monster anymore?" After saying that, Xiao Wu suddenly remembered something and asked warily, "Xia Liang, how did you end up in the Star Dou Great Forest? You were following me the whole time?"

"I came from over there. I recognized you immediately when I saw your rabbit ears and scorpion braids." Xia Liang pointed in the opposite direction from where the Titan Ape had left.

Looking in the direction the pointer was pointing, Xiao Wu's vigilance eased. If her conversation with the Titan Giant Ape and the secret of her self-condensed soul ring were discovered, her identity would likely be exposed, which made her extremely worried.

"You can keep up with my speed, so you're quite strong now." Xiao Wu looked at Xia Liang with a questioning gaze.

Xia Liang chuckled. "Sister Xiao Wu, with your bouncy walking speed, even a tortoise could catch you. By the way, I saw Tang San. He said you were kidnapped by the Titan Giant Ape and he was on his way to rescue you. How come you're here? Did you escape alone?"

"Otherwise what?" Xiao Wu crossed her arms. "With Sister Xiao Wu's teleportation soul skill, how could anyone possibly catch me? Xia Liang, are you so confident that you think you can beat me? After you left the academy, I became the boss of the entire academy. You dare to underestimate me?"

"I wouldn't dare. Sister Xiaowu, look into my eyes. How could I possibly underestimate you?" As he spoke, Xia Liang's fourth spirit ring lit up, and his pupils turned into red demonic eyes.

The deep black light of the fourth spirit ring made Xiao Wu's eyes widen instantly.

At that moment, her eyes met Xia Liang's bewitching eyes.

In that instant, Xiao Wu felt as if she had lost her soul; her entire body became uncontrollable, her consciousness was frozen, and she completely lost all feeling.

When she came to her senses, she saw Xia Liang weakly take two steps back.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Wu was a little confused. How could someone suddenly faint?

"It's nothing." Xia Liang closed his eyes.

He suddenly became weak because the effects of his fourth soul skill, Soul Control and Undead Possession, were activated simultaneously.

This requires a huge amount of soul power to support, which is why it feels like a large portion of the soul power is instantly drained.

"Xia Liang, although your appearance has recovered, your body is still so weak. You're really useless." Xiao Wu said with her hands on her hips and a look of disgust on her face.

Xia Liang simply smiled and didn't reply; he had already tampered with Xiao Wu's soul. From the time her fourth soul ring lit up until the end of her fourth soul skill, Xiao Wu had no memory of that period.

Although she suffered some backlash from her soul skills, Xiao Wu had already taken control of this opportunity.

"By the way, you said you've seen Tang San, where is he now?" Xiao Wu suddenly asked.

After recovering his strength, Xia Liang weakly shook his head. "I don't know. But if we head towards the entrance of the Star Dou Great Forest, we should be able to run into you. Tang San searched for so long without finding you, he must have thought you were eaten by the Titan Giant Ape. Under these circumstances, all he could do was leave the forest."

After hearing this story, Xiao Wu completely lost her sense of humor and hurriedly headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest. The Titan Giant Ape's arrival was too sudden; she had to find Tang San quickly to let him know she was safe.

Xia Liang also went along along the way.

Starry Sky Forest, Outer Zone.

In a grove of trees.

Tang San slammed his fist hard into a big tree.

He saw the Titan Ape pass over his head but didn't grab Xiao Wu. Moreover, the Titan Ape was heading towards the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, clearly having finished its hunt and returning to its lair.

Xiao Wu, his own younger sister, has most likely already been eaten by the Titan Ape.

Tang San slammed his fist into the tree again, gritting his teeth in hatred. The loss of Xiao Wu this time had filled his eyes with a resolute determination and murderous intent.

He hated the Titan Ape, but he also hated his own incompetence.

Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, I didn't keep our promise and I couldn't protect you. I'm so sorry.

Tang San was so remorseful that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Resentment, anger, and all sorts of negative emotions were almost reaching their limit. If Teacher Zhao Wuji and his Shrek Academy friends weren't around, Tang San would definitely let out a heart-wrenching roar.

The Shrek Academy members also saw Tang San's current state; his eyes were bloodshot, and the anger and hatred he exuded were beyond anything anyone could soothe.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance and gave each other a look, both wanting the other to go over and comfort Tang San.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps caught the attention of Zhao Wuji, the teacher in charge of the group.
