Douluo Continent: My name is Yang Jian, and I achieved sainthood through my physical body

Tang San struggled to stand up, but his injuries were too severe, and he fell back down as soon as he managed to prop himself up.

He lay on the ground, watching Yang Jian's figure gradually recede into the distance and disappear into the depths of the woods.

He recalled Yang Jian's words and felt a strong sense of unease.

What will the little dance party become?

He dared not think.

"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San muttered to himself, then everything went black, and he completely fainted.

……

Yang Jian continued to advance deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhu Zhuqing followed behind and finally couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going again?"

"The Lake of Life." Yang Jian said without turning his head.

Zhu Zhuqing had never heard of this place, but she didn't ask any further questions.

She followed silently, her gaze fixed on Yang Jian's broad back, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

……

Lake of Life.

The lake water was crystal clear, shimmering in the sunlight.

On the grass by the lake, a massive Titan ape sat crouching.

Erming gently placed Xiaowu down from his palm, his huge eyes filled with joy.

"Sister Xiaowu, I miss you."

Xiao Wu stood on the grass, hands on her hips, glaring at it angrily.

"Do you know what you just did? Those are my classmates and teachers! What will they think if you suddenly show up and take me away?"

Erming lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I just...miss you so much."

Just then, ripples appeared on the lake's surface, and a giant bull's head rose from the water.

The Azure Bull Python Daming emerged from the Lake of Life, its lantern-like eyes fixed on Xiao Wu, its voice deep and gentle.

"Sister Xiaowu, don't blame Erming. It's just too concerned about you and afraid that you'll be deceived by humans."

Xiao Wu sighed and shook her head helplessly.

She knew that Da Ming and Er Ming meant well, but their method was far too brutal.

Third Brother must be extremely worried right now.

However, Xiao Wu had no intention of going back immediately.

Because she is about to break through level 30.

Xiao Wu plans to condense her third spirit ring here before returning.

Otherwise, when she breaks through level 30 and Shrek Academy tries to hunt down her third spirit ring, her identity as a spirit beast will definitely be exposed.

"I'm going to break through level 30 here and condense my third soul ring." Xiao Wu immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Da Ming and Er Ming, "You two protect me."

Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance and nodded at the same time.

Xiao Wu closed her eyes, and the soul power within her body began to circulate.

The bottleneck at level 30 gradually loosened under the impact of soul power, and soon there were signs of a breakthrough.

She began to condense her third spirit ring.

And it was at this moment.

"Little rabbit, what a coincidence!"

A familiar voice came from behind, tinged with a hint of mockery.

Xiao Wu was startled and suddenly opened her eyes.

Yang Jian walked slowly out of the woods, a faint smile on his lips.

What are you doing here?

Xiao Wu stood up instinctively, a strong sense of unease welling up inside her.

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Jian disappeared.

It's not teleportation; it's a speed so fast that it's imperceptible to the naked eye.

The next second, Yang Jian appeared in front of Xiao Wu, stretched out his right hand, grabbed her neck, and lifted her up.

Xiao Wu's feet were off the ground, her throat was tightly choked, and she let out a painful groan.

She struggled desperately, trying to pry Yang Jian's fingers off with both hands, but his hand was like an iron clamp, not moving an inch.

"Sister Xiaowu!"

Erming roared, and his huge body suddenly stood up, causing the ground to tremble.

The Great Ming also rose from the lake, radiating a chilling aura.

"Let her go!"

Da Ming's voice boomed like thunder across the lakeside.

Yang Jian didn't even glance at them, but simply increased the pressure on his hands.

Xiao Wu's pretty face turned a deep purplish-red, and she made gurgling sounds in her throat as she struggled weaker and weaker.

"If you dare to move, I'll kill her."

Da Ming and Er Ming froze at the same time.

Seeing Xiao Wu's pained expression, their anger almost consumed their reason, but their feet seemed rooted to the spot, and they dared not take another step forward.

"Despicable human!" Erming roared, pounding his chest with his fists, his hair standing on end. "Let go of Sister Xiaowu! Or I'll tear you to pieces!"

Yang Jian remained unmoved.

He turned to look at Xiao Wu, his gaze as calm as if he were looking at an object.

"These two beasts seem to care about you a lot."

Xiao Wu was being choked and couldn't speak; her eyes were filled with terror.

Her body swayed incessantly, trying to break free, but to no avail.

Yang Jian then looked at Da Ming and Er Ming.

"If you want her to live, you can." His voice was flat, and the corners of his mouth were turned up, with a hint of nonchalance. "Azure Bull Python, if you beat the Titan Giant Ape half to death now, I will spare this little rabbit's life."

Da Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Impossible!" Its voice was filled with anger and disbelief. "You despicable human, you can't have it!"

Although Erming's brain wasn't quite up to par, he could still sense that all of Yang Jian's spirit rings came from the Titan Giant Ape.

Now that Da Ming has beaten him half to death, he definitely wants his soul ring.

"You're asking for it!" Erming roared, about to charge forward.

Yang Jian increased the pressure on his hands.

Xiao Wu let out a weak groan, her face turned from flushed to bluish-purple, and her eyes began to roll back.

"Stop!" Da Ming's voice changed.

Erming also stopped in his tracks, his huge body trembling.

"Release Sister Xiaowu!" Da Ming's voice was urgent and panicked. "You want a spirit ring? I can personally hunt one for you! I know where to find a 100,000-year-old spirit beast!"

Erming quickly chimed in, "Among my clansmen, there are several over 90,000 years old! You can kill them and absorb their soul rings; I will not stop you!"

Chapter 60 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring

Yang Jian scoffed.

"You two really have a deep bond."

He shook his head, his grip remaining firm: "But don't forget what I just said. My goal has always been the Titan Ape, which is 100,000 years old."

"If you keep dawdling, this little rabbit is going to die."

Xiao Wu's struggles were growing weaker and weaker; her eyes were half-open and half-closed, and her consciousness was beginning to fade.

Da Ming and Er Ming were filled with grief and indignation when they saw Xiao Wu's appearance.

Erming turned his head and looked at Daming, his huge eyes filled with determination.

"Great Ming, make your move!"

Da Ming's body trembled: "No, I can't do it..."

"Hit me!" Erming roared. "I'll do anything to save Sister Xiaowu!"

A struggle flashed in Da Ming's eyes, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to make a move.

Yang Jian began the countdown.

"three."

A faint whimpering sound continued to emanate from Xiao Wu's throat.

"two."

Erming roared and raised his thick fist, slamming it down into his chest.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Erming's body swayed, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Stop!" Da Ming tried to stop them.
