Chapter 45 - Xiao Wu: I Knew You Were a Good Person

A Yin extended a fair and delicate finger, lightly tapping the air, and a green light the size of a jujube shot out from the tip of her finger.

This wasn't particularly surprising, but what made Xiao Wu instantly widen her eyes and fail to close her mouth was that this green light suddenly swelled up in the wind, transforming into a bizarre blue-green soul ring.

Although by the time it landed on Jerry's head, it had already turned into an ordinary yellow, Xiao Wu was absolutely sure that she hadn't misseen it.

To grant a soul ring to someone was unheard of, but a blue-green one? What was going on?

Nan Gong Ling Yun's lips curled into a slight smile.

Showing Xiao Wu the vastness of the world was just an appetizer, the foreplay before the real show began. The real deadly move was the ten-thousand-year transformed soul beast.

Hehehe, Rabbit, you can't escape, come into my bowl obediently, okay?

With a flash of thoughts, Nan Gong Ling Yun's movements were quick. A faint wave swept across, and he, A Yin, Xiao Wu, and Angel Yan all appeared in the Beast Control Space.

Xiao Wu appeared slightly panicked as the world around her changed.

"Where is this?"

"This is my martial soul space, I actually don't only have one martial soul."

By this point, Nan Gong Ling Yun no longer hid anything. He had never intended to conceal it; the meaning of summoning his protector was here—unless he tore the sky open, he could do as he pleased.

As his words fell, Xiao Wu widened her eyes again, her frozen expression making her cute face appear momentarily dazed.

Xiao Wu gasped:

"A spatial martial soul? And the range is so vast?"

Space as king, time as respect, fate undisturbed, and cause and effect as the emperor.

Even in the bizarre world of Douluo, space gods were categorized under attributes, and the barriers between planes were incredibly thin. A force of ten thousand pounds could shatter them.

However, such attributes were still extremely rare, both in soul beasts and soul masters.

Nan Gong Ling Yun explained:

**"Yes, it's called the Beast Control Space. The core of it is a world like this.

Its uniqueness is that it doesn't require the traditional hunting method to obtain soul rings. Instead, it forms automatically when signing a soul contract with the target.

After becoming a pet beast, the beast will not die, and it will gain tremendous boosts in growth speed, breakthrough limits, attribute purification, and ability development.

A Yin was originally a ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor who had lost her soul ring and bones, leaving behind a seedling.

When I found her, her cultivation was only sixty years.

Using the power of this space, in just two years and three months, not only has her cultivation recovered to eleven thousand years, but her once chaotic life attributes have also fully evolved to perfection. Her abilities in plants have also greatly increased."**

These words were like a thunderbolt, directly blasting Xiao Wu into a stunned state.

She was already shocked, but now, after experiencing repeated shocks, she completely lost control.

The sheer astonishment even caused her body to tremble.

A space martial soul that could contract beast pets?

A Yin was originally a ten-thousand-year soul beast?

And in just two years, she had gone from the ten-year level, passing through the restrictions of the hundred-year and thousand-year limits, to becoming a ten-thousand-year soul beast?

This...

As Nan Gong Ling Yun spoke, he also showed the contract with A Yin, revealing a soul ring that had already grown to ten thousand years.

Xiao Wu had seen him use his first soul ring before, and now, the small yellow circle, originally only one meter in diameter, had transformed into a black ring radiating a powerful aura, with a radiation range exceeding ten meters.

She was completely stunned.

Xiao Wu thought with some excitement and slight envy, "If A Yin grows five thousand years every year, by the time Nan Gong Ling Yun is two hundred and six, wouldn't she become a million-year soul beast?"

And a ten-thousand-year soul beast could rival a Super Douluo. A million-year...

Such existence would probably be no weaker than a god, right?

However, this excitement only lasted for a few seconds.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu's body shook, and her face showed a hint of realization. Her expression then turned to one of pure terror.

A Yin had been a ten-thousand-year soul beast. Could she sense her aura?

Recalling certain things said on the road earlier, survival of the fittest, the cruel competition always happening...

If she took one wrong step today, she could be dead by tomorrow...

Douluo was just a corner of the stars. When facing those terrifying enemies, what could she use to defeat them?

And with this Beast Control martial soul, it seemed like everything clicked.

So, this was a trap. A trap aimed at her, the transformed ten-thousand-year soft-boned rabbit.

Xiao Wu self-mockingly smiled, slowly turning her head to stare blankly at Nan Gong Ling Yun, suddenly feeling like that face was somewhat unfamiliar.

Her eyes flashed with several complex expressions, and she tremblingly said:

"Did you... already know my identity?"

Nan Gong Ling Yun didn't hesitate and nodded.

Although exposing her identity was a bit cruel, this was something Xiao Wu had to go through.

Different roles had different pursuits, different experiences, different secrets. They cared about different things.

As long as she didn't know she could accept her soul beast identity, the progress in the system would never rise above 90%.

The nod from Nan Gong Ling Yun caused Xiao Wu's expression to instantly fall into deep disappointment. The data on the unopened system interface was rapidly declining.

"Actually, this could be considered one of the few blessings, right? After all, the Beast Control martial soul doesn't require death."

Xiao Wu comforted herself silently in her heart, taking a deep breath, and then suddenly calmed down:

"I agree."

Hearing these three words, Nan Gong Ling Yun was slightly surprised. He had expected this old rabbit to cry and throw a tantrum.

But on the surface, he feigned confusion.

"Agree to what?"

**"Stop pretending. Your soul power is exactly at level twenty. And just now, you talked about soul beasts facing extinction, showed me the existence of the divine realm, and told me the peculiarities of the Beast Control space.

You just want to contract me as your second beast pet, right? You want my soul ring and bones, don't you?

I agree, come on, I'm not your opponent, and there's a Soul Saint outside. If you want to kill me, just go ahead."**

Xiao Wu's voice was cold, and her eyes were filled with intense resentment.

Even though she had anticipated this scene before entering the human world, when betrayed by the one she trusted and admired the most, she still couldn't come to terms with it.

A Yin seemed silent, but if one looked closely, they could see sadness flickering in her eyes.

She had already experienced something similar once.

"Old rabbit, don't be so quick to judge, I don't have that intention."

The slight anger in Nan Gong Ling Yun's voice made Xiao Wu freeze, her face filled with disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"I said I don't have that intention, nor do I plan to make you my soul ring."

With those words, Xiao Wu's previously composed expression could no longer hold. Two streams of hot tears gushed out.

She jumped with all her might, leaping towards Nan Gong Ling Yun, and when she landed, she latched onto his back like a koala.

With intense emotion, she wailed:

"Haha, I knew you were a good person!"
