Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

"Huh?" Oscar was stunned.

"What?! I'm going to do something stupid and court death too!" Zhao Wuji glanced at the others. "Everyone else, get out of the Star Dou Great Forest right now, or I'll break your legs when we get back!"

“Even if we have to break his leg, we’ll have to wait until we get back,” Dai Mubai said as he walked up to Oscar. “Right now, I have to do something stupid.”

Ma Hongjun chuckled and walked over to Oscar. "You guys always say I'm stupid, so it's not surprising that I do something stupid, right?"

"Me too, I'm going to go and rescue Brother Feng," Bai Chenxiang said, stepping forward.

"Damn it, if that's how it is, then let's die together!" Zhao Wuji said through gritted teeth.

……

At this moment, Chen Feng and Tang San were flying through the forest at an extremely fast speed.

Tang San possesses the ability to communicate with plants, allowing him to track the location of the Titan Ape through them.

Although the Titan Giant Ape is the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, ordinary plants don't care about its dominance. They don't have enough intelligence, only the instincts of plants.

So when Tang San, brimming with life force, asked them for information, they gave it to him without hesitation, displaying their honesty and straightforwardness, without any fancy tricks.

Thus, the Titan Ape's whereabouts were constantly relayed to Tang San by the plants, even as it changed its location repeatedly in the forest.

With such a large size, it would be impossible for it to escape the surveillance of plants in the forest.

The Titan Ape didn't notice that someone was following behind it, even though if it wanted, any of the spirit beasts in the great forest could become its eyes.

But at this moment, its heart was filled with the joy of reuniting with Sister Xiaowu, and it had no mind to care about anything else.

"We'll definitely find Xiao Wu, right, Xiao Feng?" Tang San suddenly said during the flight.

He seemed to be asking Chen Feng a question, but more than that, he was giving himself confidence.

Chen Feng didn't see anything wrong with that statement, nodded, and said:

"Yes, we will definitely find Xiao Wu."

He had previously thought that the Ape God wouldn't activate.

Unlike the original story, Xiao Wu has now learned the technique of concealing her presence.

If the Ape God knew Xiao Wu's location by sensing her aura, then as long as Xiao Wu maintained this technique, the Ape God should not have been able to know that she had returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, Chen Feng was also worried that the Ape God might have other ways to find Xiao Wu's location, so just in case, he asked Oscar for two flying mushrooms.

If the Ape God doesn't activate, then he'll obediently find the soul beasts, complete the experiment, and leave.

But if the Ape God really comes, then Chen Feng will have to come up with another plan.

Having two plans in mind is a good habit.

The flying mushrooms gave Chen Feng and Tang San a great speed, and with Ning Rongrong's added boost, Chen Feng suddenly felt like he was flying at lightning speed.

However, their speed was still slower than that of the Titan Ape. Fortunately, the two of them set off decisively, and Xiao Wu managed to stop the Titan Ape in time, so the distance between them was constantly closing.

As Chen Feng and his companion flew at high speed with a clear goal in mind, Xiao Wu's unique senses were becoming stronger and stronger.

Soon, the massive body of the Titan Ape came into view of Chen Feng and his companion.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was sitting on the Titan Ape's shoulder, seemingly talking to it.

This scene greatly surprised Tang San, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

Chapter 104 Conversation in the Woods

Just as Tang San saw the Titan Giant Ape, his flying mushroom time ended.

While still in a daze, Tang San suddenly plummeted from the sky.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng was mentally calculating the time.

So when he fell from the sky, he was prepared and used the surrounding trees for leverage, catching Tang San midway, and then the two of them landed safely on the ground.

Xiao Wu was a little at a loss. She had just stopped Er Ming and was asking him about Daming's situation when Chen Feng and the other person arrived one after the other.

The two were flying very fast, and by the time Erming warned her that someone was coming, she had no time to react.

While talking to Erming, Xiaowu was caught in the act by Chenfeng and Tang San, and for a moment she didn't know how to explain.

Chen Feng and Tang San are both her good friends, but Xiao Wu cares more about Tang San's opinion than Chen Feng, who knows some of her situation.

She was afraid that if Tang San found out about her soul beast identity, she would lose Tang San, her childhood friend.

Xiao Wu has lived for tens of thousands of years, but she has spent most of her time in the desolate Star Dou Great Forest.

After becoming human, she grew up with Chen Feng and Tang San. For her, these years as a human were more interesting than any time before.

During her childhood, she received a lot of care and help from them.

In Xiao Wu's heart, Chen Feng and Tang San's status is second only to her mother and Da Ming and Er Ming.

Compared to Chen Feng, who doesn't really indulge her and often finds a way to criticize her, Xiao Wu and Tang San are closer.

Because no matter what mistakes she made, Tang San would forgive her, just like family, and the life force emanating from Tang San also made Xiao Wu feel very comfortable.

In Xiao Wu's eyes, Chen Feng is like a strict but helpful friend. He will point out Xiao Wu's problems directly, and Xiao Wu will never hear a kind word from him.

The two have fought countless times since they were children, and each time it ended with Tang San stepping in to break it up.

But no matter how much they joke around, it doesn't affect their friendship.

But now, seeing her mingling with a dominant spirit beast from the Star Dou Great Forest by her two friends from the human world, Xiao Wu doesn't know how they will view her.

Chen Feng might accept it easily, but Xiao Wu really had no idea about Tang San.

When Erming realized that humans were chasing after him, his first instinct was to take action.

But it quickly realized that the two people had been with Sister Xiaowu, so it temporarily suppressed its urge to attack. It bent down and put Sister Xiaowu down, then stared warily at the two humans in front of it.

If these two humans show even the slightest hostility towards Sister Xiaowu, it will kill them without hesitation, even if it gets scolded by Sister Xiaowu afterwards.

Tang San was still a little dazed as Xiao Wu approached him.

"Xiao Wu, are you alright? What happened? Why were you sitting on the Titan Ape's shoulder just now?"

At this moment, Chen Feng spoke up:

"I didn't expect you to know the Titan Ape. I thought it had discovered you and wanted to make you its food. It seems I was worried for nothing."

Erming growled in annoyance. What was this human brat saying? It actually said it wanted to eat Sister Xiaowu. How dare it!

Xiao Wu turned and glanced at Er Ming, who immediately became obedient. She turned back and said:

"I'm sorry, Xiaofeng. I haven't been able to tell you about this before, and about the mistress. I didn't mean to keep it from you."

Tang San looked at her, then at Chen Feng, and asked:

"Could you...explain to me what's going on here?"

Chen Feng glanced at Xiao Wu, and seeing that she remained silent and did not object, he spoke up:

"Simply put, Xiao Wu is a human transformed from a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast... transformed into a human!?" Tang San's eyes widened.

"Yes."

Tang San instinctively didn't quite believe it, but what he saw before him left him no choice but to believe it.

"Did you know about this all along?" Tang San sensed a possibility from Chen Feng's attitude.

Chen Feng nodded and said:

"Yes, my martial soul has the ability to sense things. I've said this before. The reason I didn't tell you this was because I was worried that you would have a different opinion of Xiao Wu if you knew."

"Moreover, after a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforms into a human, it will be in a vulnerable period. At this time, it will be extremely dangerous to be discovered by humans or by its own kind, so the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"The reason I rushed to catch up with you this time was because I was afraid that Xiao Wu's identity would be discovered by the Titan Giant Ape and then eaten as food, but I didn't expect that the two of them were together."

As he spoke, he glanced at the lone ape god and was glared at by the ape god.

"So that's how it is." Tang San finally accepted reality and said with a wry smile:

"You two really kept this from me for a long time."

Although that's what Tang San said, he could actually understand Chen Feng's concerns.

If it were him, he would make the same choice, because he wouldn't dare gamble his friend's life on the greed of human nature.

However, Tang San still felt a little resentful that Chen Feng and the other person had kept this from him; the feeling of being kept in the dark was still very unpleasant.

"I'm sorry, mistress," Xiao Wu said softly.

"It's alright, I would have made the same choice if I were in your shoes," Tang San said, patting Xiao Wu's head to comfort her.

Chen Feng believed this, because in the original story, Tang San did not tell anyone after discovering Xiao Wu's identity.

At this moment, Chen Feng spoke up:

"Actually, Xiao San, if this hadn't happened today, I was planning to tell you Xiao Wu's identity after a while, because I discovered that you have a connection with a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and said with some confusion, "I do have a connection with a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

“I’m not talking about Xiao Wu.” Chen Feng shook his head and said with a serious expression, “I’m talking about your mother. I’ve recently realized something. Xiao San, your mother may also be a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human.”

"What!?" Tang San and Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Erming, who was not far away, also pricked up his ears to listen. Gossip is a hobby that knows no age or race.

"Are you sure?" Tang San asked somewhat anxiously.

He knew nothing about his mother's situation. He asked his father many times but received no response. He only knew that his Blue Silver Grass martial soul came from his mother, and knew nothing else.

But this also made Tang San even more curious about his mother's situation.

"You said my mother was a 100,000-year-old soul beast who had transformed into a human. How did you determine that?" Tang San asked.

"My judgment is based on three points," Chen Feng said, holding up three fingers before retracting his middle and ring fingers.

"First, back then, as the head of the three upper sects and the son of the Clear Sky Sect's sect master, it would have been impossible for the Spirit Hall Pope to take action against Uncle Tang Hao without sufficient incentive."

"For the Spirit Hall, which is a large and powerful organization, such interests are either interests of power or things that are of great value to individual spirit masters."

Chen Feng raised his second finger. "Secondly, when Uncle Tang Hao was being chased by the Spirit Hall, the general public believed that he was only level 78. Even if his actual cultivation level was higher than the public thought, it would only be one realm higher at most."

"So here's the question: Uncle Tang Hao, whose cultivation level was at most Soul Douluo, became a Title Douluo after the battle with the Spirit Hall. Where did he get his spirit rings? Humans can't get spirit rings."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Wu's expression immediately became complicated.

Through Chen Feng's narration, she instantly guessed the truth of what had happened.

Sacrifice.

Only the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast could have given Tang Hao enough power to turn the tide of battle, but it would have also cost him his wife.

If it weren't a sacrifice, but Tang Hao had personally killed his wife, he wouldn't have been able to successfully absorb the spirit ring during the battle.

Sigh... Xiao Wu sighed inwardly and mourned for the unknown 100,000-year-old soul beast for a while.

Chen Feng continued speaking, raising his third finger and saying:

"The third point, and the most decisive one."

"When we first experimented with the Soul Fusion Skill, Xiao Wu's original purpose was not to try Soul Fusion, but to simulate the characteristics of human soul power through the fusion of soul power, in order to try to hide her own soul beast aura. The Soul Fusion Skill was just an accidental product."

"She told me at that time that it was very difficult to simulate my soul power traits, but it was much simpler to simulate yours. This shows that your soul power traits are closer to Xiao Wu's."

Tang San fell silent. The three pieces of evidence Chen Feng presented were interconnected, logically rigorous, and the conclusions he drew were irrefutable.

His mother was a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human, just like Xiao Wu.

"In addition, there is one more thing that can serve as supplementary evidence," Chen Feng continued:

"I don't know if you remember, but Uncle Tang Hao and Xiao Wu met before. After a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforms into a human, its aura can be detected by soul masters at the Soul Douluo level or above. Uncle Tang Hao is a Title Douluo."

Xiao Wu suddenly realized:

"So it was because of the mistress's mother that Uncle Tang Hao ignored me? I was wondering what happened; I was almost scared to death at the time."

"So that's how it is. Now everything makes sense," Tang San sighed softly.

He finally learned most of the truth about what happened back then, why the Spirit Hall was hunting down his father, and why his Blue Silver Grass spirit was so special.

At the same time, the last trace of resentment in Tang San's heart caused by Chen Feng and Xiao Wu keeping it from him disappeared.

Even his father, Tang Hao, kept Xiao Wu's identity a closely guarded secret and didn't reveal a word to his son.
