Douluo Continent V: Suppressing Tang San with the Might of the Super Beast God

"Just a little guidance? Hmm, not bad, no... wait a minute! Sis!"

Walking back to Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, Qiu Hougong was still thinking about how to win over Meng Yiran, but the next second he suddenly shouted loudly.

It turned out that Zhao Wuji was annoyed to see someone trying to steal the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent. Moreover, relying on Ling Yuan's secret protection, he activated his Martial Soul True Body without saying a word and used his sixth soul skill, Mighty Vajra Roar, twice in a row to attack Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran.

"not good!"

Seeing Zhao Wuji suddenly attack, Chao Tianxiang, knowing it was too late to retaliate, pushed Meng Yiran behind her while staying behind to shield her from harm.

"No! Grandma!"

Meng Yiran shouted as she flew, but she hadn't flown for long when she felt dizzy. When her vision stabilized, she found herself in the arms of someone wearing purple armor.

"Miss, don't worry, your grandmother will definitely be fine."

Qiu Hougong deactivated the Cloud Bat Armor, then helped the still-shaken Meng Yiran point forward.

Meng Yiran looked in the direction Qiu Hougong was pointing and saw a beautiful woman in a dark red dress standing in front of her grandmother, Chao Tianxiang. The big bear that had attacked her and her grandmother had now turned back into human form and was kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

Looking at the woman in front of her, Chao Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately spoke respectfully.

Although the woman had only revealed her martial soul and soul rings for a moment, Chao Tianxiang still knew her strength—a titled Douluo.

"You should thank my young master, not me."

Ling Yuan spoke calmly to Chao Tianxiang.

Although Ling Yuan and Qiu Hou Gong don't follow any rules in private, Ling Yuan always addresses Qiu Hou Gong as "Young Master" in public, a practice she has never changed even after Qiu Hou Gong has mentioned it several times.

"Young Master?"

Chao Tianxiang fell into deep thought upon hearing Ling Yuan's words, but was interrupted just seconds later by Meng Yiran rushing over. "Grandma! Are you alright?"

"Be good, Grandma's alright..."

Chao Tianxiang patted Meng Yiran's head affectionately and said a few comforting words before asking, "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, Grandma..."

Meng Yiran shook her head, then pointed to Qiu Hougong standing to the side and said, "He's the one who caught me just now."

Chao Tianxiang turned her head and looked at the excessively handsome young man in front of her, thanking him, "Young man, thank you for saving my granddaughter just now."

"It was nothing, senior, there's no need for that..."

Qiu Hougong smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Chao Tianxiang, then looked at Ling Yuan and said, "Sister, please keep a close eye on Zhao Wuji, and don't let Tang San and the others get away either."

"Yes, young master."

Ling Yuan bowed slightly, then forced all of Tang San and the others, except for Oscar, to kneel.

"Damn it! So he's the young master His Majesty was talking about..."

Upon seeing Ling Yuan address Qiu Hougong in this way, Chao Tianxiang, realizing she had miscalculated, quickly pulled Meng Yiran along to bow to Qiu Hougong and said, "I am Chao Tianxiang, and this is my granddaughter, Meng Yiran. I was blind just now and did not mean to neglect you, young master. I hope you will forgive me."

"Hey, Senior Chao, there's no need for such formalities..."

Seeing this, Qiu Hougong quickly stepped forward to help the two up, and then asked Zhu Zhuqing to bring the unconscious Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake to them. "I have some important matters to attend to here, so I won't keep you two any longer."

"Since you have important matters to attend to, young master, then I will take my leave first..."

Seeing this, Chao Tianxiang did not refuse. After learning Qiu Hougong's name, she quickly left with Meng Yiran and the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake.

"Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, come here."

Qiu Hougong waved to Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, and after they came to his side, he said to Ling Yuan, "Sister, let them go."

"Yes, young master."

Ling Yuan responded and then dissipated the pressure that had been pressing down on Zhao Wuji and the others.

"Qiu Hougong, what are you trying to do?"

Zhao Wuji stood up, his face somewhat pale, and asked.

He truly hadn't expected that Qiu Hougong would actually help an outsider attack him, and even allow Ling Yuan to forcibly break his Martial Soul True Body. It's important to understand that while a Soul Saint-level Soul Master's strength is greatly enhanced when activating their Martial Soul True Body, if it's forcibly broken at this time, the person will suffer a severe backlash, falling into a weakened state and unable to use their seventh Soul Skill again for a week.

"What do I want to do? I'd like to ask you, what do you want to do?"

Qiu Hougong countered with a question to Zhao Wuji.

"What do I want to do? I want to hunt down spirit rings for Little Ao! Tell me, what do I want to do!"

Enraged, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but roar at Qiu Hougong, only to be forced to kneel down again by Ling Yuan. "Watch your tone!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions..."

Feeling the immense pressure bearing down on him, and knowing that he was inevitably outmatched, Zhao Wuji suppressed his anger and then spoke to Qiu Hougong in as gentle a tone as possible: "I just don't understand, with this senior here, even if the other party is a peerless dragon and snake, you wouldn't take them too seriously, right? Why did you stop me? And why did you give them my Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent?"

"You don't need to know the reason. I will find Xiao Ao's soul beast."

After Qiu Hougong finished speaking, he asked Ling Yuan to release him.

"Okay, then I'll leave Xiao Ao's matter to you."

Zhao Wuji stood up and said.

"Okay, everyone take a rest, we'll set off later."

Qiu Hougong glanced at Tang San and the others, whose faces were full of fear, and then led Xiao Wu and the others to rest on the other side.

An hour later, Qiu Hougong, having explained his identity to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, stood up and then looked at Zhao Wuji and the others who were leaning against a big tree and said, "We've rested enough, let's go."

"it is good."

Zhao Wuji naturally did not refuse upon hearing this, and the group continued their journey to find the soul beast...

That night, the group, having searched for a soul beast all day without success, camped out in a relatively open area.

"Sis, I'm craving some fish. Could you catch me a few?"

After setting up the tent, Qiu Hougong suddenly spoke to Ling Yuan beside him.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Seeing Qiu Hougong say this, Ling Yuan, knowing what he meant, nodded and said.

"Yes, Rongrong, Zhuqing, please come with my sister as well."

Seeing that Ling Yuan agreed, Qiu Hougong turned to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and spoke. Although Qiu Hougong didn't know when Erming would arrive, that didn't stop him from making preparations in advance to avoid any unexpected events.

"Okay, Brother Qiu."

"It's no trouble at all."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing spoke separately, and then the two women joined hands with Ling Yuan and flew into the sky.

Seeing Ling Yuan leave, Dai Mubai, sensing an opportunity, cautiously approached Zhao Wuji and whispered, "Teacher Zhao, that person is gone. Shouldn't we take this opportunity..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Just stay put and stop thinking about useless things."

Before Dai Mubai could finish speaking, Zhao Wuji slapped him and said. Although he also wanted to get rid of Qiu Hougong as soon as possible, a person only has one life, and he dared not gamble his life on whether Qiu Hougong had any other tricks up his sleeve.

"Yes, I see."

Seeing Zhao Wuji's reaction, Dai Mubai thought to himself that he was a coward and nodded in response. Then he turned around and quietly stayed by Ma Hongjun's side.

However, just as everyone was quiet, Zhao Wuji, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and then forced himself to stand up.

"Attention, all personnel! Be on alert!"

Zhao Wuji, who had already completed the spirit possession, roared. Tang San and the others immediately stood up after hearing his voice and summoned their own spirits at the same time.

"They actually came."

Qiu Hougong, who sensed Zhao Wuji's presence even before he did, stood up, then squeezed Xiao Wu's soft hand and whispered, "Don't be in such a hurry, talk a little longer. We'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay, Brother Qiu, I understand."

Xiao Wu nodded, and her small hand gripped Qiu Hougong's hand even tighter.

Squeak, squeak.

As the sound of bending branches came from not far away, a gorilla with a shoulder height of over seven meters and an extremely robust body quickly appeared in everyone's sight.

"With its size and color, is it the Titan Ape, the king of the forest?"

Looking at the enormous soul beast before him, Tang San, who had already recognized its identity, spoke with a trembling voice.

"What terrible luck! How could I possibly run into a Titan Ape in a place like this?"

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists inwardly, cursing under his breath, but outwardly showed reverence to the Titan Ape. "Powerful King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending you. If this is your territory, we are willing to withdraw immediately and never set foot here again."

"Roar……"

Having already spotted Xiao Wu, the Titan Ape ignored Zhao Wuji and instead strode towards her.

"You guys run! I'll hold them off here."

Seeing the Titan Ape approaching, Zhao Wuji roared at Dai Mubai and the others, then charged towards the Titan Ape.

When the Titan Ape saw that Zhao Wuji dared to block its way, it disdainfully waved its hand, and the weakened Zhao Wuji was sent flying.

"Wow! You guys need to get out of here!"

Zhao Wuji coughed up blood. Seeing that Zhao Wuji was in such a state, Dai Mubai and the others did not dare to linger and turned to run away into the distance.

"Xiao Wu, run! I'll cover you!"

Seeing the Titan Ape heading towards him, Qiu Hougong immediately activated Dragon Battle Armor Mode, said something to Xiao Wu who looked "terrified," and then crossed his arms to prepare to unleash his ultimate move.

"Cold Shadow Absolute!"

As soon as the name was called out, the large ice crystals surrounding Qiu Hougong shattered rapidly into tiny ice shards, which then grew into sharp-pointed ice blocks at a visible speed.

"go with!"

Qiu Hougong waved his arms, and the ice blocks surrounding him flew rapidly toward the Titan Ape. Unfortunately, the power was too weak to cause any damage to the Titan Ape.

"Roar!"

When the Titan Ape saw that Qiu Hougong dared to attack it, it became angry and leaped above Qiu Hougong, intending to flatten him. However, Qiu Hougong dodged the attack using his Cloud Bat Armed Mode.

"Ho."

Seeing that Qiu Hougong had dodged, the Titan Ape only took a deep breath and did not chase after him. Instead, it reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu in its hand and ran away into the distance.

"No! Xiao Wu!"

Upon seeing Xiao Wu being captured by the Titan Ape, Qiu Hougong roared angrily in the direction of the Titan Ape, and then quickly ran towards it.

"Teacher Zhao, are you alright?"

Seeing that the Titan Ape had left, Dai Mubai and the others, who hadn't run far, immediately turned back to Zhao Wuji, pulled him up, and asked him questions.

"It's alright, you won't die anytime soon."

Zhao Wuji straightened up and took a couple of deep breaths before speaking.

"Teacher Zhao, Xiao Wu has been captured by the Titan Ape, and Qiu Hougong is currently chasing after her. What should we do now? Should we go after Qiu Hougong?"

Tang San stood beside Zhao Wuji, his eyes flashing as he spoke.

"I went to rescue him after wiping away a wave. Damn, I can finally speak a complete sentence now, I've been so pent up for so long..."

Ma Hongjun spoke up, his small eyes filled with hatred for Qiu Hougong, "With the strength of that Titan Giant Ape just now, let alone the few of us, even if the Dean came, he would have a hard time winning. If you ask me, we should leave quickly to avoid any accidents later."

"Yeah, Fatty's right. Let's hurry up and leave. What if Qiu Hougong's guard comes back and finds that Qiu Hougong is gone? She'll grind us to dust."

Dai Mubai also spoke up, his wicked eyes revealing a hint of pleasure.

"Okay, let's go then. Little Ao, just bear with it this time. I'll come back to the Star Dou Great Forest to find you a soul beast once I've recovered."

After listening to everyone's words, Zhao Wuji pretended to think for a moment before speaking to Oscar.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Teacher Zhao."

Oscar nodded and said that although he had considered having Zhao Wuji and the others go to find Qiu Hougong, judging from their expressions, Oscar knew that it was impossible.

"Okay, let's set off now."

Zhao Wuji stood up and said, and then the group walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After the group had left the camp, three figures suddenly appeared in the camp. They were Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ling Yuan, who had gone out to catch fish for Qiu Hougong earlier.

"Hmph! These bastards, and they even claim to be from the same academy."

Seeing Zhao Wuji and the others had already disappeared, Ning Rongrong stomped her foot angrily and said.

In fact, after they agreed to Qiu Hougong's request and left, Ling Yuan simply took Ning Rongrong and the other two girls for a short walk and then returned. Therefore, they knew exactly what had just happened.

"Alright, Rongrong, don't be angry. They never considered us as their own people, so why would they risk their lives to save us?"

Ling Yuan patted Ning Rongrong's head and comforted her with a smile.

"I know, but I'm just angry..."

Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks, then asked with some worry, "Xiao Wu has been captured by that Titan Ape. Will Brother Qiu be in any danger going to rescue her alone? Sister Lingyuan, are we really not going?"
