The Sky Azure Bull Python was instantly terrified, its mouth agape as it lunged towards Ao Tian.
Simultaneously, a chilling gaze emanated from it, turning the surrounding space a shade of green, and everything seemed to slow down.
This was its domain, possessing a slowing effect.
Here we go again. Ao Tian couldn't stand these creatures' mouths. He slapped out with his hand once more.
That thirty-meter-long Sky Azure Bull Python was similarly unable to resist, as if it were a small snake. It was swatted away into the lake, creating a splash.
Xiao Wu and her mother were both stunned, their minds temporarily blank.
The Titan Great Ape burst from the water, roaring angrily, charging towards Ao Tian.
"Er Ming, stop!" Two voices spoke simultaneously.
It was Xiao Wu and the Sky Azure Bull Python who spoke.
The Titan stopped in front of Ao Tian, but its large eyes still glared at him angrily.
The Sky Azure Bull Python slithered ashore and said, "He has no ill intentions. He only knocked us away and didn't harm us. Furthermore, to be able to knock us away without injuring us, his strength is above ours."
The Titan's huge face froze for a moment, and it scratched its head, asking, "Is that really how it is?"
Xiao Wu let go of her mother and ran over, stopping abruptly in front of Ao Tian. "Ao Tian, what happened? How did you knock Da Ming and Er Ming away?"
"That's just how it is," Ao Tian said, waving his hand with a smile.
"That's not what I meant," Xiao Wu said, a little annoyed. "Aren't you only a Soul Master? How could you knock Da Ming and Er Ming away?"
"Who said I'm only a Soul Master?"
Ao Tian shook his body, transforming into a young man.
"You're Brother Ao Tian!" Xiao Wu exclaimed, covering her mouth and couldn't help but step back.
The first thought in her head was: Oh no, I brought a Title Douluo back.
But she quickly realized, asking, "Are you Ao Tian or Brother Ao Tian?"
Ao Tian looked at the little girl's frightened appearance and laughed, "Ao Tian is me, and Brother Ao Tian is also me."
"How can you be two people at once?" Xiao Wu still couldn't believe it.
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand how a young man and a child could be the same person.
Xiao Wu's mother walked over, her long, soft hand resting on Xiao Wu's head, and said gently, "Xiao Wu, won't you introduce your friend to Mom?"
Xiao Wu's expression was complicated. "Mom, he's a Title Douluo. The small one was my classmate from the academy. The small one told me the big one was his brother, but how could they be the same person?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan arrived on either side of Xiao Wu and her mother, warily watching Ao Tian.
Xiao Wu's mother waved her hand. "Don't be so rude. This gentleman means no harm."
She looked at Ao Tian. "Mr. Ao, right? Come in and have some tea at our humble abode."
Ao Tian smiled and nodded.
Xiao Wu's mother pulled Xiao Wu towards the thatched hut built by the lake, with Ao Tian following behind.
The two big fellows couldn't enter and could only wait outside.
"Big Brother, what strength do you think this human has? I couldn't even resist that slap of his just now," the Titan asked quietly.
"I suspect he might be the legendary Ninety-Nine Rank Title Douluo, the strongest of the humans." The Sky Azure Bull Python speculated.
"That's strange then. What could a Ninety-Nine Rank Title Douluo want with Sister Xiao Wu?" It scratched its large head, unable to figure it out.
"Don't overthink it. Aunt Bao said he means no harm, so he means no harm."
The hut was furnished, but the craftsmanship was a bit rough. Ao Tian guessed that Xiao Wu's mother had made everything herself.
He looked at the young woman before him. Her appearance was stunning, though her figure was slightly less impressive than Bibi Dong's, but her legs were exceptionally straight and long.
Her temperament was very gentle, and she always wore a soft smile, making her very approachable.
She skillfully took out a teacup and poured a cup of tea for Ao Tian, saying, "You humans like to offer tea to guests. I lived in the human world for a few years and also grew to like drinking tea."
A few chrysanthemum petals floated in the teacup, releasing a faint fragrance.
"These are chrysanthemums I planted behind the house. Please, have a taste."
Ao Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip, praising, "Not bad."
Xiao Wu sat beside her mother, looking at Ao Tian with mixed emotions.
She had already accepted that Ao Tian-gege and Ao Tian were the same person, but she was conflicted. What kind of attitude should she use to face Ao Tian from now on? After all, this person was a Title Douluo.
"Ao Tian, is this your true identity?" Xiao Wu asked.
Ao Tian shook his head and shrank his body, reverting to the appearance of a seven-year-old. "This is my true body size. What you saw earlier was just my Dharma Body."
"Dharma Body? What's that?" Xiao Wu was very puzzled, and her mother was also confused.
They, as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, had never heard of such a thing.
"You can understand it as a body condensed from soul power."
"Are you really only seven years old?" Xiao Wu was even more puzzled.
If this was Ao Tian's true body, he only looked seven years old, how could he have such strong strength?
Ao Tian shook his head, "I'm much older than you."
"Impossible? Can humans live for a hundred thousand years?" Xiao Wu didn't believe it.
Xiao Wu's mother joked, "As far as I know, powerful Title Douluos can live for several hundred years, and a Ninety-Nine Rank Title Douluo can live for around a thousand years at most. Mr. Ao, you say you're older than us, are you not human either?"
"You're right, I'm not human," Ao Tian said with a smile.
Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Could it be that you, too, are a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who has taken human form?"
Ao Tian's mind stirred, and suddenly, two dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, with a golden dragon scale appearing in the center.
A faint pressure emanated from him, causing Xiao Wu and her mother's faces to instantly pale.
Ao Tian dropped his smile and said lightly, "I am not human, nor am I a Soul Beast. I am from the Ancient Dragon Clan."
Xiao Wu and her mother couldn't help but tremble, and even the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan outside were the same, unable to withstand Ao Tian's pressure.
Facing Ao Tian was like the lowest-level Soul Beasts facing them, as if they were looking up at a mountain ten thousand feet tall.
Seeing that Xiao Wu and her mother were about to succumb and kneel, Ao Tian finally withdrew the trace of pressure he had released.
Xiao Wu's eyes were still filled with deep fear, and her body still trembled slightly.
The pressure just now was terrifying; it felt like she was facing a god.
Xiao Wu's mother pulled her up and bowed, fearfully saying, "Greetings, Elder."
This was Ao Tian's first time revealing his identity to anyone besides Bibi Dong. He was doing so because they were Soul Beasts.
