Douluo: I Am Unparalleled in the World

The fog in the Aquipeia Forest was dense and swirling.

Visibility was reduced to about fifty meters, so thick one could hardly see their own hand in front of them!

"Hiss—"

So, he released his soul power in an attempt to disperse the thick fog, but unfortunately, it was still unable to relieve his major trouble.

It completely affected his journey!

"Xiaowu—"

Tang San shouted Xiaowu's name again into the deepest parts of the forest, as if afraid she wouldn't hear otherwise!

His father had clearly told him that Xiaowu was in the forest, but he couldn't see her figure anywhere!

Could it be that he was deceived!

Tang San muttered to himself.

Because of the heavy fog, the difficulty of finding Xiaowu kept increasing.

"Xiaowu—!"

As he walked, Tang San kept shouting.

Shouting was the only way he could hope to find Xiaowu's hiding place.

As time ticked by, second by second, he still heard no response from Xiaowu.

His father had tried to tell him not to search for Xiaowu too soon, as it would be in vain if he went, because his soul rings had not yet met the anticipated requirements. Therefore, initially, he strongly opposed Tang San's search for Xiaowu.

But seeing that Tang San was still undeterred, he could only agree to his request.

Agreeing to let him search for his true love!

"How is it that after searching all night, I still can't find her, nor do I know where Xiaowu might be!?"

"???"

"I can't give up, I must keep looking. I remember my father mentioning that Xiaowu's mother once endured a brutal beating from the Martial Soul Hall in order to protect Xiaowu, eventually sacrificing her own life, so Xiaowu must be staying in the original place in remembrance of her mother. But where exactly is the place where they met with tragedy back then!?"

Tang San said, gasping for breath.

There was no sign of anyone around, only Tang San was alone on the outskirts of the forest!

And then there was Xiaowu!

"Sister Xiaowu, is the human world really that fun?"

Er Ming asked.

Xiaowu hung her head in thought.

Naturally, the human world was indeed worth reminiscing about.

At that moment, Xiaowu thought about heading straight to the human world, knowing that Tang San must still be waiting for her!

Tang San would never abandon her!!

"Well, the human world is quite complicated, but there, I have classmates worth remembering. It's been almost four years since I've seen them."

Since Tang Hao had forced her to leave Tang San, she had not privately sought out anyone from Shrek Academy, not any single person.

Even Tang San!!

"Da Ming, Er Ming, you don't have to worry about me, I'm living well now. You're too concerned about my situation, but with your protection, I'm living very well, aren't I?"

Suddenly, Xiaowu stood up, turned to Da Ming and Er Ming, and smiled.

But one smile was enough to betray just how hard it was for her to look cheerful!

It would have been better not to smile, as the tears in her eyes couldn't help but flow down once she did!

What was wrong with her!

Was she too aggrieved by something!

"What's the matter, did a human bully you, Sister Xiaowu?"

Er Ming asked with a puzzled posture.

How could a soul beast understand human emotions? It was just a casual question, after all!

In the past, Da Ming and Er Ming had dealt with Ye Feng, and thus, they had something to hide from Xiaowu!

They absolutely could not let Xiaowu know, for if she did, she would surely be infuriated to death!!

After all, Xiaowu and Ye Feng had long since fallen out and had no relation, becoming enemies to each other.

"I'm fine, I just suddenly thought of the days at Shrek Academy and my classmates."

Xiaosan, how are you doing now, are you okay!?

I believe it won't be long before we can reunite!

Xiaowu said to herself.

This woman sure was pensive!

What she thought and what she said were hardly the same.

Xiaowu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

He took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his state of mind.

"The murderer who killed my mother has been found, and I will surely avenge her."

The bloodshot look in Xiaowu's eyes scared the wits out of Da Ming!

This was the first time he had ever seen Xiaowu looking so terrifying.

It seemed that the tragedy of her mother's death had caused her unbearable pain that could not be erased.

Anyone would feel the same in her situation!

"Alas! Poor auntie, then what exactly caused her death? Could you tell us if it's convenient? If not, never mind."

Er Ming was very curious about who the murderer who killed his aunt was!!

At the moment, Er Ming and Da Ming were silently watching Xiaowu.

Xiaowu hesitated about whether to secretly tell these two soul beasts the truth, since they were not humans. Surely telling them would do no harm to herself.

After all, she had lived with them for many years, and there must be some affection, right?

"Back then, my mother was killed by people from Martial Soul Hall. She protected me and told me to escape alone. In the end, mother couldn't evade their surveillance and was brutally killed. Their real purpose was to obtain the hundred-thousand-year soul beast within my mother, and I too am a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. To avoid being discovered by the people of Martial Soul Hall, I have been working hard to cultivate soul power. As my soul power increased, I gradually transformed into a human. That's also why I like to stay with humans, as I can at least live in peace with them."

"So I have found out the cause of my mother's death, and from this matter, I am not going to let them off easily. No matter how difficult it is, I will give my all. Even if I die, I feel I won't have any regrets."

If it weren't for Tang Hao driving her away, she might not have found her mother's murderer in these few years!

It took her a long time to find the murderer.

But, unexpectedly, the murderer turned out to be under the orders of the Pontiff of Spirit Hall himself!!

"Is what you said truly confirmed, that you've indeed gathered reliable information?"

Er Ming asked.

He was expressing doubt as to whether what Xiaowu had just said was true!

"I didn't say I heard the news from others; I found the clues through my own efforts. I trust that my judgment is not wrong."

"Er Ming, do you not believe me!?"

Xiaowu asked sternly.

Her face was extremely uncomfortable as she looked at Er Ming.

At that moment, Er Ming, who was immersed in the waterweeds, still hadn't noticed Xiaowu's displeased expression!!

Perhaps Er Ming was intentionally saying these words!

"No, Sister Xiaowu, I just don't quite understand why the people from Martial Soul Hall would specifically want auntie's soul ring. After all, one could also find hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the forest, though it might take a very long time to find them."

Er Ming spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xiaowu's emotions grew even more furious!

"Boom——!"

A huge wave surged from the water and shot up into the sky.

At this moment, she could no longer tolerate her emotions.

It had been years since Xiaowu had been seen in such a rage!

This was the moment she exploded.

"Sister Xiaowu, please calm your anger. You must control your emotions and not lose your temper at will. I know it's hard for you to calm down now, but think about it—if you can't control your emotions and accidentally expose your hiding place, the murderers will surely find you, and you'll be their next meal."

Da Ming spoke out directly.

Seeing Xiaowu in this state, he could understand.

"Alright, I know you are concerned for my welfare. Please don't worry about me; I'll handle my own affairs."

"In any case, this vengeance must be avenged, and I will make them taste the pain of losing a loved one."

Xiaowu declared resolutely.

Da Ming and Er Ming shook their heads helplessly as they watched Xiaowu.

If she really went to find the murderer alone, she would not be able to return to the Aquipeia Forest to stay with them!

...

"Have you heard? It's said that the Pontiff of Spirit Hall has led several teams into the Aquipeia Forest."

Patrons at the inn gathered to talk about Martial Soul Hall.

At this time, Tang Hao was drinking by himself silently!

The conversation from the neighboring table was all heard by Tang Hao.

Right now, Tang Hao listened silently with his ears pricked, attentive to what was being said.

Initially, the topic was about Martial Soul Hall!

It appeared that Martial Soul Hall had also gone to the Aquipeia Forest, and so Tang San was also within the forest.

At this moment, Tang Hao felt somewhat uneasy!
