Chapter 191: Xiao Wu, I Can Tell You're Not Human at First Glance!
In the original story, when Dugu Bo first met the Shrek Seven Devils, he did not recognize Xiao Wu. That was because he was only level 91, just stepping into the threshold of becoming a Title Douluo. On top of that, his toxins were constantly tormenting him, forcing him to spend a huge amount of mental energy suppressing them, which weakened his external perception.
But this time was different.
Yu Tianlin had helped Dugu Bo resolve his toxin problem, and Dugu Bo had even broken through to level 92. He was in excellent condition now. That meant if Xiao Wu appeared in front of him, she would definitely be recognized. Moreover, Dugu Bo had no connection with Tang San this time, so he would never hold back. He would attack Xiao Wu, a 100,000 year Spirit Beast in human form, without hesitation.
No matter whether Dugu Bo succeeded in capturing Xiao Wu or not, her Spirit Beast identity would inevitably be exposed, and that would be a disaster.
Yu Tianlin still wanted Xiao Wu to participate in the Spirit Master Competition.
"It looks like I need a way to conceal Xiao Wu's Spirit Beast aura. Otherwise, even if I help her escape Dugu Bo's attack, she still won't be able to participate." Yu Tianlin's thoughts raced.
The Acacia Heartbreak Red was certainly an option, but it was far too precious for Yu Tianlin to give to Xiao Wu. So he relied on what he knew about her and quickly came up with a plan.
After making up his mind, Yu Tianlin asked around Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Once he learned where the Shrek Seven Devils were staying, he headed over immediately.
They had been arranged in a luxurious courtyard, clearly set up by Qin Ming. After finding the place, Yu Tianlin did not bother with formalities. He walked straight in and greeted them.
The Shrek Seven Devils looked like they had traveled a long distance. They were dusty and worn out. Those below level 30 were especially exhausted, particularly Ning Rongrong, a support type Spirit Master, whose eyes practically screamed fatigue.
Seeing Yu Tianlin suddenly appear at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, everyone was surprised and asked what he wanted. Yu Tianlin did not explain much. He only said he had something extremely important to discuss with Xiao Wu, and he invited her to step outside with him.
Immediately, the gazes in the courtyard turned strange. They kept shifting between Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Yu Tianlin, their imaginations clearly running wild.
Yet the 3 involved acted as if nothing was happening.
Tang San, in particular, said nothing at all. He simply let Xiao Wu follow Yu Tianlin out.
Yu Tianlin moved quickly, bringing Xiao Wu through the academy grounds until they reached a secluded spot. Only then did he close his eyes and release his Spirit Power, extending his perception outward to prevent their conversation from being overheard.
With his current spiritual power, he could detect anything below the Title Douluo level. He could not sense Title Douluo level experts, but that did not matter. There should not be a Title Douluo lurking nearby just to eavesdrop.
If there were, they would have already discovered Xiao Wu's identity and attacked on the spot.
"Hey, Yu Tianlin." Seeing him lead her somewhere isolated and even close his eyes, Xiao Wu could not help speaking up. "What do you want from me? Stop wasting time and just say it!"
Yu Tianlin ignored her. He continued sensing the surroundings until he was sure no one was near, then opened his eyes again.
"Xiao Wu." He did not beat around the bush. "You're a 100,000 year Spirit Beast in human form, right?"
Those words hit like thunder.
Xiao Wu was caught completely off guard. Her body trembled, and her pupils shrank sharply.
However, she was still a 100,000 year Spirit Beast. She had seen too much. After a brief moment, she forced herself to calm down and put on a fake smile.
"Yu Tianlin, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What is Spirit Beast transformation?"
"Stop pretending, Xiao Wu. I can tell you're not human at first glance." Yu Tianlin's tone was flat, direct, and merciless. "I'm not trying to trick you either, because it's pointless. I'm 100% sure of your identity."
"Oh, really?" Xiao Wu's fake smile vanished instantly. She stared at him with deep, cold eyes. "No wonder Zhu Zhuqing kept asking me about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, like she was certain I'd know. You told her you already discovered my identity."
"Don't be nervous. Zhu Zhuqing still doesn't know your identity." Yu Tianlin watched her carefully.
Xiao Wu's muscles were tense, as if she might explode into action at any second.
Yu Tianlin continued calmly, "You should know I mean you no harm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come alone. I would've brought a Title Douluo from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Hearing that, the tension in Xiao Wu's expression eased noticeably. Still, her wariness did not disappear.
"Then what do you want with me?" she asked.
Yu Tianlin did not answer directly. Instead, he asked a question of his own.
"I'm curious. Why do you have the courage to come here? Do you even know there's a Title Douluo in Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Then Yu Tianlin briefly recounted Dai Mubai beating Xue Beng, and what would happen afterward.
The moment Xiao Wu learned she would encounter a Title Douluo tomorrow, her expression changed again and again. Struggle flashed across her face repeatedly. Reason told her to leave immediately, but she could not let go of Tang San.
She was trapped in a dilemma.
Yu Tianlin could roughly guess her thoughts just by looking at her expression, and he did not know what to say.
You're a 100,000 year rabbit. What haven't you seen?
Pretending to be young every day was one thing, but falling for a human so much younger than you to this extent, what exactly are you thinking?
The situation is already crystal clear. What is there to hesitate about? Are you still hoping to escape somehow?
Running away is the best option. Hide somewhere, cultivate until maturity, then come out. That way your 100,000 year identity won't be exposed, and you won't be dragged into endless trouble.
Wouldn't that be perfect?
It really proved one thing. Love makes people's IQ plummet.
Seeing Xiao Wu hesitate so deeply, unable to decide, Yu Tianlin finally spoke again.
"However, I do have a way that should hide your Spirit Beast aura. Even if you stand in front of a Title Douluo, no one will notice anything wrong."
"In other words, you can pass tomorrow's test. And even if you participate in the Spirit Master Competition in front of everyone, your secret still won't be exposed."
"Oh!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up immediately. Excitement burst across her face as she leaned forward.
"What method is it, Yu Tianlin? Tell me, quickly!"
