"So fast!"

Lin Yongming hadn't expected the jungle wolves to be so relentless in their pursuit, steadily closing the distance between them.

"A jungle wolf pack appearing in the Star Dou Forest is bad news for other soul beasts. With so many of them, they can even take on solitary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. In an area dominated by thousand-year and hundred-year soul beasts, they're practically a disaster," Blue Silver Emperor explained as they ran.

"You mean they specialize in group attacks?" Lin Yongming's expression grew serious.

"Yes. Most wolf-type soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, like the Gale Demon Wolf or the Netherworld Demon Wolf, are solitary hunters. But jungle wolves are the exception—they're pack creatures." Blue Silver Emperor nodded.

"I didn't expect a thousand-year jungle wolf king to appear. It has to be dealt with," she muttered under her breath.

In the past, a ten-thousand-year jungle wolf king had led a pack of several hundred wolves—ruthless, cunning creatures that caused havoc throughout the Star Dou Forest.

Before long, the wolves had them surrounded—twenty-one in total. Fifteen were hundred-year-level jungle wolves, the rest were ten-year soul beasts, and the pack leader was a formidable three-thousand-year-old jungle wolf king. This was a force to be reckoned with.

"This is bad. The terrain isn't in our favor, and we're much slower than the jungle wolves," Lin Yongming said helplessly.

"Our only option is to break through. If we reach the outer perimeter, the jungle wolves won't dare to chase us further," Blue Silver Emperor suggested immediately.

"Then we should go for the leader—take down the wolf king, and the pack will scatter. You control them while I go on the offensive. If I can land a Shura Thunder Slash at the right moment, we might stand a chance." Lin Yongming quickly formulated a plan.

"No good. Wolves are too cunning, especially their leaders. The wolf king will stay behind the pack, directing the attack. But you're right—at our current pace, they'll completely surround us in ten minutes. Your idea might work."

"I'll set a trap first," Blue Silver Emperor said seriously as she summoned Blue Silver Grass, weaving a formation at their feet.

"Let's move!"

They kept running toward the forest's outer regions, the wolves chasing relentlessly from the sides and behind.

"Stop!" Blue Silver Emperor commanded as the wolf king was about to step into the trap.

Lin Yongming gripped his lightning blade tightly, already charging his energy in secret.

"Blue Silver Formation—activate!" Hiding behind a tree, Blue Silver Emperor saw the wolf king leap toward the trap and immediately activated her soul skill. In an instant, vines coiled around the wolf king, trapping it in midair.

"First Soul Skill—Shura Thunder Slash!" Lin Yongming seized the opportunity. The attack he had been charging for so long was finally unleashed.

"Awooo...!"

The wolf king let out a furious howl.

One by one, the jungle wolves threw themselves in front of their leader, their eyes filled with unwavering determination.

The flying lightning blades struck down several jungle wolves, but just as they neared the wolf king, it broke free from its bindings. As expected of a three-thousand-year-old soul beast, it shattered the remaining lightning blades, which had already been weakened by its pack's sacrifice.

Seeing its fallen brethren, the wolf king's deep green eyes turned blood-red in fury. It roared, growing more frenzied, directing the remaining wolves while preparing to charge at them itself.

"Blind little brother, the plan failed! I told you the wolf king was too cunning—run!" Blue Silver Emperor shouted urgently.

"No need. Sister Ah Yin, stand behind me," Lin Yongming suddenly said, his expression calm.

"Huh?" Blue Silver Emperor was confused.

She had been so focused on the wolves that she hadn't noticed—within Lin Yongming's Heart Eye perception range, another person had appeared. This person radiated immense soul power.

Lin Yongming instantly knew they were saved.

As the wolves lunged at them—

"Sister Ah Yin, stay behind me!"

"Second Soul Skill!" Lin Yongming shouted. His thousand-year purple soul ring glowed.

"Wave Explosion!"

Standing firmly in place, he plunged his lightning blade into the ground. A powerful force erupted from his body, sending shockwaves of electricity surging outward.

"Awooo...!"

Wolves leaping midair were blown back. The weaker ones had their bodies torn apart by the explosion. The others were sent flying, crashing into the ground in disarray.

The wolf king growled, struggling back to its feet, preparing to launch another attack.

But then—

"Third Soul Skill—Teleport! Sixth Soul Skill—Eight-Stage Kill!"

A woman's voice rang out, and in an instant, she appeared before the wolf king.

Her body radiated power. Six soul rings—each the optimal configuration—glowed around her as she unleashed a ruthless barrage. The wolf king was lifted into the air and violently slammed down, its body exploding midair.

The remaining jungle wolves, seeing their leader slain so effortlessly, tucked their tails between their legs and fled into the forest.

"Sister Xiaorou! Why are you here?" Blue Silver Emperor exclaimed, recognizing the woman.

"Ah Yin! You came to the Star Dou Forest and didn't even come find me? You ran off into the forest on your own—luckily, I sensed your aura and rushed over. Otherwise, you'd have been in serious danger," the woman scolded.

The woman, whom Blue Silver Emperor called Xiaorou, wore simple clothing. Her long hair was tied back neatly, exuding a gentle and intellectual beauty.

"Sister Xiaorou? Is this the 'sister' Ah Yin was talking about?"

Lin Yongming pondered.

"But those soul skills… they sound so familiar. Teleport… Eight-Stage Kill…"

*"Wait! Aren't those the soul skills of the original novel's heroine but this woman can't be Xiao Wu. Could she be…?"*

Lin Yongming's thoughts raced as he connected the dots. If this woman had those soul skills, then she had to be a character who was barely mentioned in the original story—Xiao Wu's mother.

"It makes sense! Blue Silver Emperor's 'sister' can't possibly be a human. But she's a rabbit, and Ah Yin is a plant... Rabbits eat plants. How does that make them sisters?"

"This 'sisterhood' doesn't seem very reliable…" Lin Yongming mused with amusement.

Xiaorou walked up to Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor, eyeing him with curiosity.

"Ah Yin, who's this little guy?"

"Sister Xiaorou, this is the blind little brother I picked up on my way here," Blue Silver Emperor said, looping her arm around Xiaorou's. "He's a pretty decent person. He even treated me to a meal and gave me a place to stay for the night. Since he was born blind but still wanted to come to the Star Dou Forest to obtain his second soul ring, I figured I couldn't let his kindness go to waste. Plus, I was headed this way anyway, so I decided to accompany him."

Xiaorou sighed, shaking her head.

"Then why didn't you come find me first? If you had, I could've helped you both search together. You, a Soul Elder, leading a Grandmaster-level kid through the Star Dou Forest? That's way too risky!"

Then, her expression softened.

"Anyway, have you found the soul ring yet?"

Lin Yongming, though unable to see, turned his face toward Xiaorou out of politeness.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Xiaorou. I've already obtained my soul ring. We were just about to leave when we ran into the jungle wolf pack."

"Exactly! Sister Xiaorou, that was way too close! If you hadn't arrived in time, we might have been in real danger," Blue Silver Emperor agreed, nodding.

"Since you've got your soul ring, we should leave the Star Dou Forest immediately," Xiaorou said decisively.

With that, the three set off toward the outer regions of the forest.

During the journey, Lin Yongming couldn't help but glance in Xiaorou's direction—or at least as much as a blind person could.

"If my guess is correct, this woman is definitely Xiao Wu's mother," he thought.

"But if she's alive now, that means we're still far from the events of the main story. I don't know exactly when everything takes place, but knowing the future… does that mean I can change it?"

For now, all he could do was grow stronger.

No power, no control over fate.

As they continued forward, the trees thinned out, and the air became less dense with soul beast presence. They were almost out of the Star Dou Forest.

But just as they thought they were safe—

Rustle... Rustle...

A strange sound came from the shadows of the forest.

Lin Yongming's Heart Eye twitched. He sensed something powerful lurking nearby.

They weren't alone.
