Chapter 54: Can People Trust Each Other More?
"What are you talking about? Soul Master? Needing my soul ring for your fourth?"
Xiao Wu stared at Qian Renxue in disbelief. Was she joking?
Why not claim she was level ten?
A 100,000-year fourth soul ring? Wasn't she afraid of bursting?
A hundred times more absurd than being a Titled Douluo at her age!
Su Yu said nothing, silently releasing his spirit rings.
Two purple, one black!
An astonishing ratio!
For her apparent age, she'd be the continent's top genius!
But!
But!
But!
A real Soul Master!
Ahhh!
Xiao Wu was on the verge of collapse!
Eyes wide, she asked, "You're a Soul Master? Really? Really?"
"No! Sister! A Soul Master, and you want my ring? Aren't you afraid of exploding?"
She admitted two purple and one black were impressive! Beyond common sense!
But absorbing a 100,000-year fourth ring?
That was impossible!
A 100,000-year ring!
At least… a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint could try…
A Soul Saint with a 100,000-year ring…
Why was she thinking so outrageously?
A dignified 100,000-year soul beast, absorbed by a Soul Saint? A disgrace!
Qian Renxue, inside her body, had moved past her awe. Watching the scene, her smile turned odd.
Was Teacher… teasing this rabbit?
And why was this rabbit unlike the 100,000-year soul beast she imagined?
A rabbit, sure, but a 100,000-year one!
Shouldn't it be majestic?
Even transformed, it should be graceful.
It had lived so long…
Why did it seem… like an underage girl?
So unsteady!
Not even as composed as her!
Xiao Wu shattered Qian Renxue's image of a 100,000-year soul beast.
Facing Xiao Wu's agitation, Su Yu smiled. "What's wrong with a Soul Master? Or the fourth ring? Does Douluo Continent forbid a 100,000-year fourth ring?"
"Of course not!" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth. "I'm asking, can you absorb it?"
"Your third ring at 10,000 years is amazing! It defies logic! But a 100,000-year fourth ring? You're dreaming!"
"You'll die! No question!"
Hearing her certainty, Su Yu smiled calmly. "I'll die? You sound so sure, little rabbit!"
"Hmph!"
Xiao Wu snorted, turning away!
This beautiful girl with extraordinary rings and talent…
Her brain wasn't right!
A 100,000-year fourth ring? She thought she was a Soul Douluo!
But Xiao Wu felt aggrieved!
Targeted by someone so unhinged?
Not even a god's ring!
Now, she'd likely drag this strange girl to death with her!
What bad luck!
As she cursed her fate, a voice drifted in.
"You forgot something. A method called sacrifice lets a soul master get a 100,000-year ring early, even if unqualified…"
Xiao Wu whipped her head toward Su Yu. Seeing his relaxed smile, she mocked:
"Sacrifice? Haha! Don't you know it requires the beast's willingness? You think I'd sacrifice myself for you?"
"What are you thinking?! Is your brain fried from training?"
She couldn't believe this girl said that!
Sacrifice?
What was she thinking? That a stranger beast would sacrifice for her?
Delusional!
Unfazed by her ridicule, Su Yu wasn't annoyed. It was Qian Renxue being mocked, not him!
Facing the stubborn rabbit, he slowly revealed her identity.
"A 100,000-year Soft-Boned Rabbit. Mother killed by Spirit Hall, her ring Bibi Dong's ninth. Two relatives left."
"One, Da Ming! 100,000-year Azure Bull Python!"
"Two, Er Ming! 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape!"
Seeing Xiao Wu's cold, grim face, Su Yu smiled. "Guess what? If I take you to them, would they sacrifice for your life?"
"You're despicable!"
Xiao Wu glared with disdain. "Da Ming and Er Ming aren't like me. If you dare bring me to them…"
"You'll die!" She stared, enunciating: "They'll kill you first!"
"You underestimate me!"
Su Yu smiled, shaking his head.
"Know Clear Sky Douluo? The youngest Titled Douluo?"
He looked at her. "You should, since you've transformed for a while."
"Of course! He killed three Spirit Hall Titled Douluo right after breaking through!"
A "hero" who slew three! How could she not know?
"Good!"
Su Yu smiled. "But you don't know he has a son, Tang San…"
"What?!"
Her pink eyes trembled. "Tang San? Notting Academy?"
"Exactly!"
He nodded. "Where else would a wild innate full soul power kid come from? He probably told you his father's name, but that's not important."
"Tang San, Tang San, Tang San…"
Xiao Wu murmured, legs shaking.
Living under a Titled Douluo's nose? Terrifying!
She looked at Su Yu. "When you took me…"
"You guessed it. Tang Hao acted! Your vanishing couldn't escape him!"
Qian Renxue stepped closer, stroking Xiao Wu's hair. "So, you think I can't make Da Ming and Er Ming sacrifice?"
"…"
Xiao Wu fell silent. "A Titled Douluo behind you?"
"More than one!"
Su Yu admitted.
Despair flooded Xiao Wu's heart!
Sacrifice!
Would it come to that?
She knew Da Ming and Er Ming's natures. If caught…
They'd sacrifice!
Sacrifice one for her life?
…
No! Wrong!
She looked at Qian Renxue. "If I don't die, all three of us will?"
"You think I'm that kind of person?"
Xiao Wu understood!
This person would use her to threaten Da Ming and Er Ming! Twice! For two sacrifices!
Then kill her!
Smart, she grasped her situation!
She… was doomed!
If she died now, Da Ming and Er Ming could live. Otherwise, all three would perish!
Such a cruel heart beneath that beautiful face!
Xiao Wu's gaze at "Qian Renxue" shifted repeatedly!
Su Yu's eyes turned odd!
No! He only needed one!
Could a 100,000-year beast compare to a God-bestowed ring?
Really!
Thinking so poorly of people!
Couldn't there be more trust?
