Chapter 106 Negotiation
Xiao Wu's oppressive aura swept over Wu Heyi's body with overwhelming force, like a surging giant wave!
The source of this powerful pressure lies in Xiao Wu's unique and crucial secret—she was transformed from a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
As we all know, even soul beasts harbor the same desire and dream of becoming gods deep in their hearts.
However, it is undeniable that for soul beasts, embarking on the path to godhood is far more difficult and fraught with danger than for humans.
Nevertheless, a seemingly feasible shortcut still lies before many soul beasts who yearn to become gods, which they regard as the key path to the realm of gods.
The shortcut is this: once a soul beast's cultivation successfully breaks through to the 100,000-year level, it can choose to transform into human form.
However, once a soul beast completes its transformation, its soul rings will undergo a unique change.
The original form of the soul ring belonging to a 100,000-year-old soul beast will not change, but the profound cultivation accumulated over a full 100,000 years will be directly transformed into the price and sacrifice required for transformation at the moment of transformation.
Of course, this does not mean that these precious cultivation points have completely disappeared.
In reality, they remain sealed inside the transformed bodies of the soul beasts, silently waiting for an opportunity.
This opportunity arises when the soul beast's cultivation level increases again, gradually reaching the various levels corresponding to its original 100,000-year cultivation. The cultivation that was once consumed as a sacrifice will be revitalized and transformed into new soul rings that match its current level of strength.
However, it should be noted that although these soul beasts successfully transformed into human form, they are still soul beasts in essence, not humans in the true sense.
Therefore, if those humans with ulterior motives were to discover this secret, they would surely try every means to imprison the soul beast that had already taken human form.
And patiently wait for the right opportunity to kill it and seize the invaluable 100,000-year soul ring and 100,000-year soul bone.
As time went on, those soul beasts who willingly chose to transform into humans gradually realized that they must never easily reveal their true identities to other humans.
For them, this secret is as vital as a sore spot, and touching it could have disastrous consequences.
Although powerful human experts at the Title Douluo level are indeed capable of recognizing those transformed soul beasts due to their unfathomable cultivation and insight.
However, the person standing in front of everyone at this moment, named Wu Heyi, is clearly far from reaching the extraordinary realm of a Title Douluo.
If that's the case, then only two possibilities remain:
Firstly, perhaps there is some peerless expert hiding behind him as a powerful backer;
Secondly, it is very likely that he noticed something unusual through some subtle clues!
However, upon closer analysis of the first scenario, we can easily find many suspicious points.
It should be understood that any Soul Master at the Title Douluo level would find it almost impossible to suppress the urge to possess such a rare and valuable transformed Soul Beast.
After all, if one could raise such a soul beast, it would undoubtedly have an immeasurable positive impact on the future development of one's family or sect.
Therefore, considering all factors, the first possibility can be largely ruled out.
In this way, the second possibility seems to make more sense and believable.
In other words, it is highly likely that Wu Heyi accidentally discovered some clues about the identities of these transformed soul beasts through some special means or channels...
"Who are you? How do you know my secret?"
Xiao Wu stared wide-eyed at Wu Heyi in front of her, her face filled with terror.
Her voice trembled, filled with barely concealed tension and anger, along with a deep sense of helplessness.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was filled with fear, afraid that Wu Heyi would open the door, turn around and leave, and then reveal her secret that she had kept hidden for many years to everyone.
You should know that if she still had 10 years of cultivation, she would be able to remain calm and composed in the face of this situation, without worrying at all that Wu Heyi would dare to make any rash moves.
However, things are different now. In terms of both talent and ability, she knows very well that she is far inferior to the boy in front of her.
Wu Heyi calmly placed his index finger in front of his lips, signaling Xiao Wu to remain quiet and calm.
But in this situation, who can truly remain calm and composed?
For Xiao Wu in particular, this was a matter of life and death, as well as countless secrets hidden behind it.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was still unable to calm down, Wu Heyi shook his head helplessly, took a deep breath, and decided to stop beating around the bush and state his purpose directly:
"First of all, I have never mentioned to anyone that you are a 100,000-year-old soul beast."
If I had actually told anyone, you would probably be dead by now.
Therefore, you can rest assured on this point. Secondly, Tang San actually knew long ago that you were a 10-year-old soul beast, but he also chose to keep this secret deep in his heart and didn't reveal a word to anyone.
When Xiaowu heard the news, she was stunned. The shock in her heart was like a surging wave, crashing against her mental defenses one after another.
Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the person before her, her lips trembling slightly, yet she couldn't utter a sound.
She never imagined that Tang San, the family member she had always regarded as her closest and most trusted, had already seen through the secret hidden deep in her heart.
In that brief instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning, one of the most terrifying being: Could it be that Tang San betrayed her?
However, she quickly dismissed the idea as soon as it arose.
Based on her understanding of Tang San, she knew he would never do such a thing.
So, Xiao Wu composed herself and tried to recover from her extreme shock.
She took a deep breath and fixed her gaze on Wu Heyi across from her. He was looking at her with a smug expression and a faint, wicked smile on his lips.
Xiao Wu snorted coldly, her face also showing a disdainful expression, indicating that she did not believe what the other party said at all.
"Hmph, do you think I'd easily believe your nonsense? Even if you rave the most about it, I won't fall for it!"
Xiao Wu said through gritted teeth.
Wu Heyi seemed to have anticipated Xiao Wu's reaction. He smiled slightly and slowly said:
"It's okay, believe it or not."
But I can tell you clearly that you are not my target, and I will keep your secrets completely confidential. So, you don't need to be so nervous.
After saying this, Wu Heyi paused deliberately before continuing:
"Actually, my real target is your hometown..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Wu's expression suddenly changed, and her previously calm face instantly became distorted.
Because the moment Wu Heyi said the word "hometown," two familiar and dear figures immediately appeared in her mind—Daming and Erming.
An unnamed rage suddenly surged in Xiao Wu's heart. Her eyes widened as if they were about to spit fire, and her teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.
"What? Your targets are actually the Ming Dynasty and the Second Ming Dynasty!"
Xiao Wu roared, her voice so loud it was deafening.
At the same time, her spirit rings uncontrollably shone, and beams of light surrounded her, forming a powerful aura.
Xiao Wu clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, and blood flowed down her fingers and dripped onto the ground.
At this moment, if Wu Heyi dares to admit that his goal is Da Ming and Er Ming, Xiao Wu will definitely unleash her strongest soul skill without hesitation. Even if it exposes her identity, even if she knows that the enemy is stronger than her, she will fight to the end with all her might, even at the cost of her life!
