Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 184 Finally Arriving at Wuhun City

After Han Feng and Tang San came out of the room, everyone was curious, but neither of them seemed inclined to speak, so no one dared to ask.

But what happened next was truly fantastical, leaving them completely bewildered.

Tang San, who was originally in a hurry, showed no signs of anxiety after coming out. He didn't plan to go out to look for Xiao Wu anymore. He sat calmly in his seat, his face showing some contemplation, but he was also quite peaceful. Han Feng was even more outrageous, casually crossing his legs, as if he wasn't worried about Xiao Wu's safety at all!

Seeing the two acting this way, it was clear that they knew where Xiao Wu was. Just as everyone was about to ask, Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu suddenly walked out of the hotel.

Xiao Wu was unharmed, but Liu Erlong looked at her strangely.

According to Xiao Wu, she broke through to level 40 last night and got so excited that she forgot to tell everyone. She went out to hunt for a spirit ring and got lucky. She encountered a suitable 5,000-year-old spirit beast, absorbed its spirit ring, and then met Liu Erlong who came looking for her.

After hearing Xiao Wu's explanation, everyone was stunned!

Xiao Wu's explanation was far-fetched, and the loopholes in it were as big as a bottomless pit!

Why go out at night to hunt for spirit rings, and why do they have to do it secretly, even trying to hide it from Flander and the others?

There's no Soul Hunting Forest near this hotel, so where would a 5,000-year-old soul beast come from?!

How did Xiao Wu manage to kill a 5,000-year-old soul beast without sustaining any damage?

Faced with the barrage of questions from everyone, Xiao Wu was at a loss. Xiao Wu wasn't good at lying, and the incident yesterday had happened so suddenly that she hadn't been prepared, so it was inevitable that there would be loopholes!

Tang San, who was most concerned about Xiao Wu, didn't have many questions. He simply stood up and slowly walked towards Xiao Wu.

Seeing this, everyone naturally made way for Tang San.

When Xiao Wu saw Tang San, a hint of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, but instead of scolding or questioning, she received a gentle pat on the head and said softly, "It's good that you're back! Don't be so reckless next time. I'll help you absorb the spirit ring!"

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai and the others froze, taking two steps back speechlessly, feeling a sudden bloating in their stomachs.

But Xiao Wu's pupils contracted; she could tell that Tang San's words had a hidden meaning!

Seemingly sensing Xiao Wu's unusual state, Tang San's eyes flashed with pity. For the first time in front of everyone, he took the initiative to hug Xiao Wu, his lips slightly parted, and in a voice only Xiao Wu could hear, he firmly said in her ear, "Don't be afraid! I said, anyone who wants to hurt you must first step over my dead body!"

Xiao Wu's delicate body trembled!

She was now certain that Tang San knew her secret!

Tang San knew that Xiao Wu must be feeling extremely confused right now, just like when Han Feng had told him about this earlier. He took Xiao Wu's hand and said to everyone, "Xiao Wu and I have something to say to each other!"

After saying that, Tang San nodded to Han Feng and then led Xiao Wu into a room.

"Hey! What kind of riddles are you guys playing?! Feng was like this just now, and now Third Brother is doing it too!" Ma Hongjun shouted as Tang San left.

Oscar chimed in, "Yeah! At least tell us what Xiao Wu's fourth soul skill is like!"

Even so, the two didn't actually chase after them; they were just a little overwhelmed by the solemn atmosphere.

The master frowned, watching his disciple's retreating figure. He thoughtfully stroked his chin, his gaze gradually becoming heavy.

Seeing this, Han Feng knew that the master must have already guessed something—the master had basically watched Xiao Wu grow up, but he had never seen Xiao Wu hunt for spirit rings, nor had he ever seen Xiao Wu have any elders, but every time she was able to absorb spirit rings of the right age and with the right attributes. In addition, Xiao Wu's attitude towards spirit beasts was different from that of ordinary people, so it was hard for the master not to be suspicious!

Perhaps the Grandmaster already had some doubts about Xiao Wu's background, but before that, his energy was mainly focused on Tang San. It's just that Xiao Wu's performance this time was a bit too sloppy.

Han Feng wasn't worried about Grandmaster at all. As long as Tang San liked Xiao Wu, Grandmaster would definitely stand on Xiao Wu's side!

Just as Han Feng was looking at the master, Dai Mubai, who had somehow appeared beside him, nudged him with his elbow and whispered, "You little brat, do you know something?"

"I didn't! I'm not! I don't know! Don't ask me!" Han Feng glanced at Dai Mubai and denied it outright.

But Dai Mubai didn't believe him at all, and just watched him quietly.

Han Feng couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he said, "Really, don't ask me! This is a matter between the young couple, why are you meddling? You just need to know that my stance is absolutely the same as everyone else's!"

Seeing that Han Feng refused to talk, Dai Mubai rolled his eyes in annoyance and didn't press further. He simply retorted instinctively, "Then why are you meddling in this?!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng's eyes widened, and he immediately retorted, "Didn't I have a legitimate reason?!"

"Tch!" Dai Mubai refused to believe it and scoffed.

Tang San and Xiao Wu chatted for a long time. Flander had already returned, but they still hadn't come out of their room—this unusual time interval made Ma Hongjun and Oscar's faces show a hint of unease.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were always unserious, and no one bothered to pay attention to these two clowns.

Liu Erlong couldn't resist wanting to go and check on things, but the master stopped her.

The master probably thinks that Tang San must be in a lot of pain and conflict right now, after all, the fact that his beloved is a soul beast is no less painful than the fact that his beloved is his cousin!

But only Han Feng knew that the men of the Tang family would never care about such things!

Isn't that a family rule?!

Tang San is probably currently trying his best to persuade Xiao Wu not to participate in the upcoming competition!

Sure enough, an hour later, Tang San and Xiao Wu came out.

Tang San's face returned to its usual gentle and peaceful expression, while Xiao Wu glanced at Han Feng with a complex look, seemingly both resentful and grateful. Neither Tang San nor Xiao Wu offered any explanation. Apart from Xiao Wu demonstrating her fourth soul skill, they avoided answering any other questions from the crowd. In the end, it was Grandmaster who gave Tang San a way out, and the matter was finally resolved.

Clearly, the two of them did not intend to announce this matter now—not because they did not trust Dai Mubai and the others, but because they were worried about implicating them.

Han Feng didn't mind, but from the looks in Tang San and Xiao Wu's eyes, he understood that Tang San had probably already persuaded Xiao Wu, and he felt relieved.

Because of Xiao Wu's situation, the group didn't set off again until noon, and finally arrived at Wuhun City just the day before the competition began.

But at least we made it in time!

Wuhun City truly lives up to its reputation as the central hub of the Wuhun Hall. Its significance to the Wuhun Hall is no less than that of Tiandou City to the Tiandou Empire!

Heaven Dou City is bustling, and Spirit City is solemn. Spirit Hall followers can be seen everywhere, patrolling the area like imperial guards. Soul Kings and Soul Emperors are everywhere. This gives a glimpse into the strength of the Spirit Hall!

Unlike the original story, this time when Grandmaster arrived at the Spirit Hall, he did not go to the Pope's Palace to see Bibi Dong and ask her about the cultivation method of twin spirits.

After all, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer hasn't been exposed yet, so why would Grandmaster walk right into the line of fire?

Even if we take a step back and say that the master really went to see Bibi Dong, wouldn't he be apprehensive?

After a day of rest, the Shrek team soon faced the first match of the final elimination round!

However, Shrek Academy was also quite lucky. In the first match, they drew a bottom-ranked academy from the Star Luo Empire. Han Feng hadn't even exerted his full strength yet, and they had already easily achieved a winning start.

This made the ghostly figure who was secretly observing it grit its teeth in hatred!

When he returned to the Spirit Hall that day, as he expected, apart from Chrysanthemum Douluo's sarcastic remarks, Bibi Dong did not blame him. She just told him to pay more attention in the upcoming matches. But even if Ghost was really a ghost, he did not expect that Shrek Academy would still act so nonchalantly even in the final elimination rounds!

What's even more unsettling is that Shrek Academy's opponent in tomorrow's match is Star Luo Royal Academy!

Knowing the conditions for succession to the throne in the Star Luo Empire, Ghost had already foreseen that tomorrow would probably be another day for Han Feng to coast along—since the brothers were fighting for the throne, Han Feng certainly wouldn't interfere!
