Chapter 2: Unexpected Meeting with Xiao Wu

The pink rabbit was indeed Xiao Wu, the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit.

Su Bai's eyes lit up immediately.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was still in her soul-beast form and had not yet transformed, which meant the Douluo plot had not started.

Perfect. He would make Xiao Wu his wife, preventing her from ending up with Tang San.

Moreover, Xiao Wu was the female protagonist in the original Douluo story, and according to the system, binding with important characters offered more generous rewards.

Thinking of this, Su Bai's eyes sparkled.

If he could make Xiao Wu his, wouldn't the rewards be incredibly bountiful?

Besides, Xiao Wu was being pursued. If he saved them now, it would be the perfect opportunity to gain her favor.

With this thought, Su Bai moved.

On the other side.

"Er Ming, run faster!"

Xiao Wu turned her head, seeing the soul beasts behind them getting closer. She anxiously urged Er Ming to speed up.

"I'm already going as fast as I can, Sister Xiao Wu," Er Ming replied, panting heavily as he ran.

Sky Blue Bull Python Da Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, I'll stay behind to hold it off. You two run."

"No way!" Xiao Wu refused without hesitation. "You are my family. I can't leave you behind and escape."

"Me neither!" Er Ming chimed in.

Da Ming felt both touched and helpless.

They were all twenty-thousand-year-old soul beasts, not weak by any means.

But the pursuer was too powerful, a fifty-thousand-year soul beast, far outclassing them.

If they were caught, they would be devoured, becoming nourishment for the enemy.

At this moment, they were all injured, and being caught was only a matter of time.

Their pursuer was a tiger-type soul beast, not just any tiger, but a king among tigers, the Canglan Tiger.

This kind of soul beast was speedy, with razor-sharp claws.

And having reached fifty thousand years of cultivation, its power was terrifying.

It was no wonder Xiao Wu and her companions couldn't match it.

Suddenly, a roar echoed from ahead of Xiao Wu and her companions.

Da Ming and Er Ming instinctively halted.

For some reason, the roar made their bodies tremble instinctively.

It was a suppression from the bloodline.

Suddenly, a gigantic figure appeared in the sky ahead of them.

It was a black dragon, its body covered in black scales, exuding an overwhelming majesty and strength.

It's over!

The same thought crossed the minds of Xiao Wu and the other two soul beasts.

They hadn't yet escaped their pursuer, and now they faced another formidable soul beast.

And the dragon before them, judging by its aura, was even stronger than the tiger behind them.

With a strong enemy ahead and a pursuer behind, they were trapped with no way out.

This dragon was Su Bai.

His appearance had frightened Xiao Wu and her companions.

Especially with his inherent pressure, he was making them tremble uncontrollably.

In the brief moment Xiao Wu and her companions were stunned, the Canglan Tiger caught up.

The Canglan Tiger also noticed Su Bai ahead.

With just one look, it took a step back.

It looked at Xiao Wu and her companions, then back at Su Bai.

Roar~

A roar echoed from its throat, and it growled, "They are my prey!"

This was a declaration of ownership and a challenge to Su Bai.

In the world of soul beasts, strength ruled supreme.

If your power was strong enough, you could do as you pleased.

Despite Su Bai's immense pressure, the Canglan Tiger believed in its fifty-thousand-year cultivation and its status as a formidable force in the Star Dou Forest.

Hence, it did not fear Su Bai.

Upon hearing the Canglan Tiger's words, Xiao Wu and her companions exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.

If they started fighting, wouldn't it be the perfect chance to escape?

Both soul beasts were extremely powerful, and if they fought, they would ignore them.

That would be their best chance to escape.

After confirming with each other's eyes, they made their decision.

Simultaneously, they couldn't help but look at Su Bai.

In the soul-beast world, the Canglan Tiger's attitude was already a provocation.

Strong beings did not tolerate challenges.

Sure enough, Su Bai moved.

He opened his massive dragon mouth.

Roar~

A soul-shaking dragon roar resonated, accompanied by immense pressure.

Thud!

Da Ming and Er Ming couldn't withstand the overwhelming pressure and fell to their knees, trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Wu wasn't much better, clinging to Er Ming's shoulder, eyes filled with fear.

It was the suppression of the bloodline.

Even the Canglan Tiger was forced to retreat a few steps, its eyes filled with terror.

Just a dragon's roar made it instinctively fearful.

It wanted to flee.

After all, it wasn't easy to reach its current level of strength.

But it was reluctant to give up Xiao Wu and her companions. Devouring them would significantly increase its power.

But before it could decide, Su Bai acted.

In the future, there might be a chance to challenge Emperor Crocodile and claim the throne of the Star Dou Forest's ruler.

Hmph!

Su Bai let out a muffled grunt.

Initially, he had considered sparing the Canglan Tiger if it knew to retreat. But now, it seemed there was no need for mercy.

It was the perfect opportunity to test his strength. Without an opponent earlier, he couldn't gauge his power accurately.

He hadn't chosen to act immediately because he feared drawing the attention of the Emperor Crocodile.

For now, he wasn't confident enough to take on a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

He wanted to stay low-key.

But now, he had no choice but to act.

He was determined to claim Xiao Wu.

So,

Su Bai slowly raised his dragon claw, beginning to gather power.

The energy ball in his dragon claw grew larger and larger.

Just one glance at that terrifying power froze Xiao Wu and her companions in place, making them forget even to flee.

The energy was overwhelming.

It left no room for any thought of resistance.

The Canglan Tiger felt the same.

As it sensed Su Bai gathering power, it realized the impending attack would be devastating.

Without hesitation, it turned to flee.

"Die!"

But Su Bai wasn't going to let it escape.

His power gathered quickly, and he struck decisively with his dragon claw.

Boom~

In an instant, a mighty, unstoppable force surged forward, sweeping toward the Canglan Tiger.

Su Bai had used half of his strength in this attack.

In the blink of an eye, the Canglan Tiger was engulfed by the energy.

Everything in the path of the energy was reduced to nothingness.

When the energy dissipated, the Canglan Tiger was nowhere to be seen.

"What terrifying power!"

Xiao Wu stared in shock, her mind blank.

That was a fifty-thousand-year soul beast!

A formidable being of the Star Dou Forest.

And now, it had been eradicated in a single strike?

What level of cultivation did this dragon-shaped soul beast possess?

Could it be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?

But the Emperor Crocodile wouldn't allow another hundred-thousand-year soul beast to exist.

Before she could think further, Su Bai was already flying towards them.

The three soul beasts exchanged bitter glances.

With such overwhelming power, they felt no hope of resisting.

But to their surprise, the immense pressure from Su Bai suddenly eased.

The dragon's mouth slowly opened and closed: "Will you follow me?"
