NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Lu Yunzhou’s Purpose - Sacrifice
The issue that Shrek's Six Devils and Zhao Wuji noticed was actually quite simple:
At some unknown moment, two more figures had appeared on the scene.
"Another... more people? When did they arrive? How did I not notice?"
Ma Hongjun muttered to himself, staring in shock at the two new arrivals, his face full of confusion and disbelief.
The two figures were contrasting in appearance—one tall and imposing, the other slender and gaunt.
They were none other than Devil Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo.
Upon entering, Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard exchanged a brief glance before they instinctively released their Soul Rings.
Compared to Yu Long and Porcupinefish, Devil Bear and Ghost Leopard both had optimal configurations of two yellow, two purple, and
five black rings.
Seeing this, and after triple-checking to confirm he wasn't mistaken, Ma Hongjun couldn't hold back and muttered, "Wait, aren't Titled Douluo supposed to be rare and hard to find?"
"So... why does it feel like they're as common as cabbage? I mean, today alone, I've encountered four of them!"
Beside him, Zhao Wuji gulped involuntarily, inwardly exclaiming in shock, "If not for that punch from the Titan Giant Ape that's still making
me ache, I'd think I was dreaming! Four Titled Douluo... four of them standing right before me! This is unbelievable!"
Soul Masters held the most prestigious title among humans, and among them, Titled Douluo were the elite of the elite. Seeing even one
Titled Douluo was considered a stroke of extraordinary fortune.
Yet today, Shrek's Six Devils and Zhao Wuji were witnessing four all at once. Their astonishment and disbelief were entirely justified.
"What could possibly attract so many Titled Douluo to this remote part of the Star Dou Forest?" Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes, his mind racing with countless speculations. "And why did it even draw the king of the forest, the Titan Giant Ape, here?"
"Could there be some hidden treasure or secret here?"
If there was indeed a treasure of such caliber, Dai Mubai was determined to get a share of it. After all, anything that could attract Titled Douluo was definitely no ordinary item.
The appearance of two additional Titled Douluo was a boon for Oscar, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others, adding another layer of security. But for Xiao Wu, it was the opposite—it was a disaster. She, after all, was a Soul Beast, a natural enemy of humans!
"This time... things are really bad."
Swallowing hard, Xiao Wu's face went pale with fear, her body trembling as thoughts of terrible possibilities flooded her mind.
Her usual rosy cheeks were now deathly white, and tears welled up in her eyes—a clear display of her terror and helplessness
The arrival of two more Titled Douluo further deepened the solemn look on the Titan Giant Ape's face.
Gradually recovering from its shock, the Titan Giant Ape realized that it needed to be exceedingly cautious now. If it wasn't careful, more than just its own life might be at risk today.
"What is it that you want?" it growled, fixing a fierce gaze on Lu Yunzhou. "I only have one life—take it if you dare! If you're not afraid
to die, come at me!"
Hearing these words, Lu Yunzhou chuckled disdainfully. "As expected of the king of the forest; even now, you still stand proud and
unyielding."
With a sigh, he continued, "I hope you can still be so unyielding later."
Then, with a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Take it down."
Lu Yunzhou's order made Shrek's Six Devils and Zhao Wuji believe a fierce battle was about to unfold—a showdown of four Titled Douluo
against the Titan Giant Ape!
But the actual outcome was beyond anything they'd expected.
A voice filled with scorn echoed through the air: "Beast, trying to escape? How foolish!"
It was Yu Long, the Serpent Spear Douluo, who spoke, and he was holding none other than Xiao Wu by the neck. His face showed clear
excitement and thrill.
To be honest, Yu Long had never imagined that he'd one day get to subdue a hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast. His elation was beyond words, and his expression was one of barely restrained glee.
"Let go of Xiao Wu! What are you doing?!" Tang San shouted, stepping forward instinctively to try to free her.
Ignoring Tang San entirely, Yu Long swatted him aside with a Soul Power-infused slap, sending Tang San flying. He hit the ground and
passed out instantly.
With Xiao Wu restrained, She Long stepped forward, presenting her before Lu Yunzhou.
Seeing this, Lu Yunzhou nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, ranked fifth in her family. Your father was known as 'Little Five,' so you were named Xiao Wu. And you're a
hundred-thousand-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit in human form. Am I wrong?"
As he finished speaking, an overwhelming pressure erupted from Lu Yunzhou, his immense aura instantly spreading out to crush the Titan
Giant Ape, which had attempted to move forward to save Xiao Wu.
Feeling the weight of Lu Yunzhou's aura, the Titan Giant Ape felt its rescue efforts crushed as well, its hope extinguished.
"This man's strength... it's far beyond even the other four human experts!"
Realizing this, the Titan Giant Ape felt a wave of despair.
Facing one Titled Douluo, the Titan Giant Ape wouldn't back down.
Facing two, it could still hold its own. But three
That would be certain death.
Yet here were five Titled Douluo! How could it possibly survive?
"Xiao Wu... is... a Spirit Beast?" Dai Mubai murmured in disbelief, unable to accept it.
"Impossible!" Ning Rongrong said, her voice full of doubt. "We've been together for so long. Xiao Wu is practically a sister to me. There's no
way she's a Soul Beast!"
"That's right!" Ma Hongjun added, "Xiao Wu is so cute; there's no way she could be a Soul Beast!"
Oscar chimed in, "He's trying to divide us, make us Shrek's Six Devils fall apart!"
Yu Long sneered at their words. "Divide you? Please. You should know your own worth. You think you're worth manipulating? Do all frogs at the bottom of a well have such confidence?"
Oscar: "…"
Ning Rongrong: "…"
Dai Mubai: "…"
Zhao Wuji: "…"
Ignoring Shrek's Six Devils, Lu Yunzhou turned his gaze back to the Titan Giant Ape and stated plainly,
"My purpose here is simple. Two
words—sacrifice."
