Chapter 18: with translation of chapter title

Dai Mubai walked up to Tang San, patted his shoulder, and sincerely apologized: "Xiao San, I know Zhu Zhuqing's words earlier offended you; I'm here apologizing to you and your teacher on her behalf."

Tang San looked at Dai Mubai, then at Zhu Zhuqing, as if saying indignantly: "Dai Mubai, I understand your intentions; but I fear some people won't appreciate it."

Zhu Zhuqing knew Tang San was talking about her.

She looked at Dai Mubai and said: "Yeah, you know I won't appreciate it, yet you bluntly say it like this; is this what you call brotherhood?"

"You" Tang San felt annoyed as his petty thoughts were exposed.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't give Tang San a chance to rebut, and continued: "Dai Mubai, I'm afraid you haven't told your good brother about what's between us; do you want me to explain it for you?"

"If you don't need it, then don't casually apologize on my behalf."

"I can say it again clearly: Grandmaster's theory doesn't necessarily apply to all soul masters; have I made myself clear enough?"

Fu Lan De saw the situation somewhat getting out of control, pushed his glasses to smooth things over: "Alright, you little monsters, coming out to hunt soul rings isn't for you to fight among yourselves; there's been a troublesome Ning Rongrong."

"Can't you guys just behave?"

"Some people just can't stand hearing the truth." Zhu Zhuqing said in a flat tone.

It was exactly this indifferent tone that made Tang San flare up.

"Click!"

A mechanical extension sound rang out.

Xiao Wu heard the sound and quickly grabbed Tang San's arm: "Third brother, you"

Dai Mubai's gaze shifted slightly.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were trembling outside the circle, feeling these people were really hot-tempered; they couldn't afford to provoke them, couldn't afford to provoke them.

Fu Lan De instantly snapped: "Enough, this ends here; Grandmaster is my close friend, Zhu Zhuqing, saying this gives me little face."

"Even if you're stating the facts; but I said this matter ends here, I won't pursue it."

Saying that, he looked at Oscar: "Xiao Ao, come over and introduce your new soul skill."

Oscar ran over, panting, to smooth things over.

After Oscar finished introducing his soul skill, everyone was amazed at its heaven-defying effect.

Fu Lan De and Zhao Wují were also very happy.

They completely failed to notice that five soul beasts over seventy thousand years old had silently surrounded them.

By the time they noticed, it was already too late.

The five soul beasts over seventy thousand years old launched an attack.

Fu Lan De and Zhao Wují both activated their martial soul true forms, and before they could even clash, Xiao Wu was snatched into the sky by a flying soul beast.

Tang San on the ground was grief-stricken, his eyes blood-red as he watched Xiao Wu fly up: "No!!! Xiao Wu, give Xiao Wu back to me."

"Xiao Ao, mushroom sausage; quick, if you still consider me your brother."

"I am Xiao Wu's brother; I've said I will protect her for life; anyone, human or soul beast, who wants to harm her must step over my corpse."

Seeing Tang San's blood-red eyes, Oscar instinctively produced three sausages and threw them over.

Flying mushroom sausage, detoxifying small sausage, restorative large sausage.

Tang San directly ate the flying mushroom sausage in his hand, a pair of phantom wings lifted him into the air; in midair he ate the restorative large sausage to replenish his expended soul power.

As Xiao Wu was taken away, the ten-thousand-year soul beasts also left one after another.

Fu Lan De looked in the direction Tang San left and said in a deep voice: "Old Zhao, bring the kids over; I'll go ahead first."

"Damn, that's the person the Haotian Soul Master entrusted us to watch over; if something happens to him on our watch."

Zhao Wují's fate at the sunset is vividly before our eyes. In the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, by the shore of the Lake of Life.

After landing, Xiao Wu briefly caught up with Da Ming, then began condensing her third soul ring, completely failing to notice that Er Ming was absent.

Da Ming's expression also seemed off.

Once the third soul ring was condensed, Xiao Wu hopped over to the shore with an innocent look and asked: "Da Ming, where did Er Ming go? I've been condensing my soul ring for so long and he still hasn't returned."

"Has it been so long since we last met that you've forgotten Xiao Wu sister? You're heartless."

Da Ming hesitated repeatedly, then said in a muffled voice: "Xiao Wu sister, Er Ming was killed when he went out to hunt not long ago; I didn't have time to take revenge before the attacker fled."

"Er Ming, it's dead."

"The two words 'dead, dead' struck Xiao Wu's mind like a bolt from the blue."

"It exploded with a boom."

Tears welled up; Xiao Wu looked at Da Ming in disbelief: "Are you lying to me? Isn't Er Ming just playing around in the water? Come out, quickly let him come out!"

Da Ming lowered his head, silent.

His huge head lowered and pressed against Xiao Wu's face.

"Sorry, Xiao Wu sister; it's my fault for not watching over Er Ming."

Xiao Wu sobbed uncontrollably, and only after a long time did she choke out: "Da Ming, do you know who did it? I will definitely avenge Er Ming."

"Is it the same people who killed my mother back then?"

Da Ming shook his head and said: "I've asked most of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest; all I know is that the person who killed Er Ming has a martial soul of a flaming spear, and Er Ming was his eighth soul ring."

Xiao Wu's heart jolted, looking at Da Ming: "You mean that person's eighth soul ring is a hundred-thousand-year one?"

Da Ming nodded.

After confirming, Xiao Wu's heart sank to the depths, but thinking of a certain person reignited hope in her heart.

"Da Ming, I have to go; I know there's someone who can definitely help us get revenge—he's a soul master with twin martial souls and innate full soul power."

Da Ming looked at Xiao Wu in surprise: "Xiao Wu sister, are you really leaving? It's too dangerous out there—first Aunt Rou, then Er Ming; I don't want to lose you too in the future."

"Besides, the person you're talking about is human, right? How could a human possibly avenge soul beasts? Humans are untrustworthy; why don't you stay here."

Xiao Wu shook her head, looked at Da Ming solemnly: "Third brother is different from other humans; Da Ming, believe me, I will definitely get third brother to help us take revenge together."

"A hundred-thousand-year eighth soul ring is extremely rare even in the human world; I need to return to the human world to track down the true culprit."

Well, Da Ming, I've made up my mind; send me out to the periphery of the core circle, I'll go find San Ge myself.

Da Ming looked at Xiao Wu's eyes, full of stubbornness and resolve; just like the decision he made back then when he became a human.

He and Er Ming couldn't stop it back then, and they still can't now.

All right, but Sister Xiao Wu, you need to stay safe; I really can't lose you again.

Xiao Wu nodded, gazing firmly into the distance.

She couldn't shed tears, nor could she collapse here; she must strive to cultivate, to avenge her mother and Er Ming.

At this moment, at the edge of the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

When Flender found Tang San, he saw him absorbing a soul ring, with a huge human-faced devil spider corpse beside him.

This human-faced devil spider's age is just over a thousand years, but Tang San's martial soul isn't Blue Silver Grass, so can absorbing its soul ring really work?

As Flender was stunned, Zhao Wuji led people rushing over.

A rustling sound came from the grass thicket, and Xiao Wu also jumped out from it.
