Chapter 23: A Titled Douluo Appears
Aotian's interest was suddenly piqued. He beckoned to Xiao Wu with a finger and said, "Come on, let me see what you've got."
"I've got plenty of skills. Don't you go crying when you lose later," Xiao Wu said, walking over with a grin, a sly glint flashing in her eyes.
Aotian stood there, unmoving, letting Xiao Wu approach.
No matter what tricks Xiao Wu tried to pull, he wasn't afraid.
"Here I come!" Xiao Wu winked at Aotian, two small dimples appearing on her face. With a smile, she raised her hands and pushed toward Aotian's shoulders.
From watching Aotian's fight with Tang San today, Xiao Wu understood that Aotian's power and speed were both monstrous, far greater than Tang San's.
Therefore, she understood that to defeat Aotian, she had to rely on the element of surprise.
She pushed her hands toward Aotian's shoulders. If Aotian raised his arms to block, her hands could seize the opportunity to trap his.
If Aotian didn't block, her hands could still grab his shoulders.
At the same time, she flicked her head, and her long Scorpion Braid swung in an arc, winding towards Aotian's neck to cut off his path of retreat.
Aotian remained perfectly still, allowing Xiao Wu's attack to land on him. The moment the braid wrapped around his neck, he felt a slight tickle.
Xiao Wu's expression was one of excitement. Her hands gripped Aotian's shoulders as she leaped into the air, tucked her legs in, and then forcefully kicked toward Aotian's stomach.
"Haha, Rabbit Kicking Eagle! You've lost!" Xiao Wu laughed triumphantly as her feet erupted with ferocious power, striking Aotian's stomach.
Aotian's upper body was being pulled by Xiao Wu's hands and braid, while his lower body was being kicked by her feet. In Xiao Wu's imagination, her kick would lift his lower body off the ground and send him sprawling face-first.
However, after her feet landed on Aotian's body, her triumphant laughter came to an abrupt halt, and her body froze in place.
It wasn't that she didn't want to move, but that she couldn't.
Her feet felt as if they had kicked a great mountain; they couldn't budge him at all.
Her expression changed. Reacting with incredible speed, she released her hands and kicked off with all her might. Aotian still didn't move, but her own body flew backward.
Her long braid was still wrapped around Aotian's neck, leaving Xiao Wu swinging back and forth like a swing.
"Rabbit Kicking Eagle!" Using the acceleration of her descent, she once again kicked at Aotian's lower stomach.
However, there was only a dull thud. Aotian's body remained as immovable as a mountain.
Xiao Wu used all her strength, her little face flushing red from the effort, but she couldn't make Aotian's body move even a fraction.
"The force of this massage is a little weak," Aotian chuckled, reaching out to grab Xiao Wu's legs.
Xiao Wu let out a shriek as Aotian caught her by the back of her knees, causing her bottom to slam against his body.
Her braid was still around Aotian's neck and the backs of her legs were held fast, putting her in an extremely awkward position.
As a 100,000-year Soul Beast, she had been well-protected by her mother since she was young and had never been in such intimate contact with another male creature.
Being held by Aotian like this, she was instantly overcome with shame and anger.
"Bastard, let me go!"
Aotian obediently released her. Xiao Wu immediately fell and sat hard on the ground, a stinging pain spreading from the impact.
Ignoring the pain in her rear, she shot to her feet and wrapped her legs around Aotian's neck.
After successfully locking her legs around his neck, she leaned back, supporting herself on her hands in an inverted position.
Activating her Waist Bow skill, a surge of power traveled from her hands to her waist, and then to her feet as she forcefully tried to fling Aotian forward.
She had used this very move to defeat Tang San during the day.
However, no matter how much force she used, her "bow" couldn't launch Aotian.
"Hehe, any other ultimate skills?" Aotian asked.
Xiao Wu moved away from Aotian, a wronged look on her face. "You're bullying me."
"How am I bullying you? I haven't even moved."
Xiao Wu stomped her foot in frustration. "I'm not talking to you anymore! You're just a monster. No wonder Tang San couldn't beat you."
"Can you show me your Martial Soul?" she asked.
She was very curious about what kind of Martial Soul could give Aotian such monstrous strength.
Although a Beast Martial Soul couldn't be possessed before obtaining a Soul Ring and becoming a Spirit Master, some of its traits could still influence a person's body.
She felt that Aotian's Martial Soul must be a powerful Beast Martial Soul, which would explain his abnormal physical constitution.
She had arrived a little late at the Academic Affairs Office and hadn't seen the moment Aotian released his Martial Soul.
An idea struck Aotian. He said, "I suddenly need to take a dump. You wait here for a bit. I'll tell you when I get back."
Without another word, Aotian turned and ran off the Sports Ground.
"Alright," Xiao Wu said, hopping back onto the large rock. She lay down, gazing up at the star-filled sky.
Just then, Xiao Wu's ears twitched. She heard the faint sound of footsteps.
She turned her head and immediately saw a tall figure completely cloaked in a black robe emerge from a corner not far away.
Startled, she instinctively sat up, warily watching the mysterious person approach her.
For no reason at all, she felt a wave of panic, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Without even asking a question, Xiao Wu immediately jumped off the large rock and prepared to flee.
Just then, a figure dressed in snow-white robes walked out from the direction Xiao Wu was trying to escape.
Blocked, Xiao Wu stopped, her gaze fixed warily on this handsome, ethereal man in white.
She was somewhat surprised; this white-robed man's appearance and bearing were very similar to Aotian's.
"Don't panic. I'm Aotian's older brother. I'll handle the man in black," a voice resounded directly in Xiao Wu's mind.
Xiao Wu felt an inexplicable trust in this white-robed youth who had just appeared, and her anxious feelings instantly calmed down.
Aotian smiled, walked past Xiao Wu, and approached Tang Hao, who was hidden in the black robe.
"A Titled Douluo actually appearing in this little Nuoding Academy... now that's a rare sight," Aotian remarked with a sigh.
Tang Hao stopped, his face hidden within the black cloak changing slightly.
This young man, who looked to be in his twenties, could actually seethrough his strength as a Titled Douluo!
How was that possible?
He hadn't leaked even a sliver of his Titled Douluo aura; only someone with a similar level of cultivation should have been able to discover his hidden cultivation.
How did this youth find out?
Hearing Aotian's words, Xiao Wu was even more horrified. Her body trembled as she backed away.
As a Soul Beast, the thing she feared most was a human Titled Douluo, and the thing she hated most was also a Titled Douluo.
"Who are you?" a hoarse voice came from within the black robe.
"I am someone you cannot afford to provoke," Aotian said with a smile.
His appearance was peerless, and he exuded an otherworldly air, like a banished immortal untainted by the dust of the mortal world.
As his words fell, a terrifying aura that made Tang Hao feel as if he were suffocating pressed down on him.
This aura was condensed and did not dissipate, targeting only Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was utterly shocked and blurted out, "How is this possible!"
Aotian's interest was suddenly piqued. He beckoned to Xiao Wu with a finger and said, "Come on, let me see what you've got."
"I've got plenty of skills. Don't you go crying when you lose later," Xiao Wu said, walking over with a grin, a sly glint flashing in her eyes.
