“Little Yuhao, are you willing to become this old man’s Disciple?”
Within the Star Dou Great Forest, after tasting Huo Yuhao’s legendary roasted fish, Huang Jinxu smiled and looked at the busy Huo Yuhao.
He tried hard to make his smile look gentler to increase the success rate of taking a Disciple.
Tang Ya, who was standing to the side and preparing to pull Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect, instantly shuddered upon hearing Huang Jinxu’s words, as if she had seen something filthy, and cautiously moved her footsteps to get as far away from Huang Jinxu as possible.
As for the thought of pulling Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect, it had long been cast to the winds by her.
There was no other way; she was truly terrified.
Within Shrek Academy, two major taboos were circulated.
One cannot hunt Spirits together with the Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, and one cannot establish a relationship with the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu.
The former had an eighty percent mortality rate.
As for the latter, the mortality rate was as high as ninety-nine percent.
Those who refused to believe in evil and wanted to touch these two major taboos had all paid a heavy price for it.
Going out to hunt Spirits with the Taotie Douluo often led to accidents mostly because the Taotie Douluo was unreliable.
Meanwhile, those who established a relationship with the Heavenly Fiend Douluo died in completely inexplicable ways.
What kind of person was the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu?
In one word: good!
In two words: very good!
In three words: extremely good!
Within the academy, regardless of whether you were an outer courtyard student, an inner courtyard student, or an outsider who admired Shrek Academy, as long as you encountered the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, you could step forward to ask him questions regarding cultivation, and he would very patiently help explain them to you.
Not only that, if a student’s family was poor and could not gather enough money to hire a Spirit hunting team, as long as they found the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, he would unsparingly spare his precious time to take them to hunt Spirits.
This was a good person who could not be faulted from any angle.
Yet, even though he was such a good person, everyone avoided him like the plague.
Tang Ya recalled the scene when she first entered Shrek Academy, when an academy teacher told her that there were two school rules within the academy that absolutely could not be violated.
That was not to hunt Spirits together with the Taotie Douluo, and not to attach oneself to the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
At first, Tang Ya didn’t take it to heart.
She had to admit that this Heavenly Fiend Douluo truly lived up to being the most knowledgeable existence within the academy, pointing out a method for her to rapidly increase her strength in just a few words.
At that time, Tang Ya immediately conceived the idea of pulling the Heavenly Fiend Douluo into the Tang Sect.
However, before she could even take actual action, when she went to sleep that very night, she fell off the bed.
Even though it clearly wasn’t a very high bed, she somehow managed to break her leg.
It took a full two to three months of recuperation before she recovered.
Ever since then, Tang Ya never dared to attach herself in any relationship with the Heavenly Fiend Douluo again.
It was simply too terrifying.
You must know that she hadn’t even taken actual action yet; she had only thought about it in her heart and had already suffered an undeserved calamity.
She couldn’t imagine what would happen if she truly had some kind of relationship with him and became his Disciple!
Seeing Tang Ya’s panic-stricken yet somewhat endearing actions, Beibei found her extremely adorable and couldn’t help laughing.
Regarding this Heavenly Fiend Douluo, he had heard his story from Ancestor.
Although because of his Spirit, he indeed possessed some traits of a Heavenly Lone Star, it was not as terrifying as the legends claimed.
As long as they weren’t his family members, even if they had some kind of relationship with him, it amounted to nothing more than running into some bad luck.
Most people would not be affected.
As for little Ya back then, that was purely bad luck.
Speaking of which, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo was also a pitiful person.
It was said that his mother died right after he was born, and afterwards, his bad luck attributes manifested.
At the age of five, he was abandoned by his family and subsequently drifted into Shrek City.
Shrek Academy discovered that he had autonomously undergone a Spirit Awakening before reaching the age of six, and he even possessed Innate full Soul Power, so they took him into the academy to cultivate him.
He was a very good person who respected his elders, showed fraternal love to his peers, and cared for his Juniors.
He wanted to get close to the people around him, yet he was afraid of hurting them because of himself.
At all times, he cautiously kept his distance from everyone, sometimes even appearing extremely clumsy.
Such a kind person should not have to suffer all of this.
This was the first time Beibei had ever heard of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo proactively wanting to take someone as a Disciple, and he instantly became interested in this fortuitously met Huo Yuhao.
But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t see anything unusual about the skinny and small Huo Yuhao.
“I…
Me?”
Huo Yuhao, who was roasting fish, was stunned on the spot upon hearing that someone wanted to take him as a Disciple, completely unable to believe it.
Just as he wanted to say something, he thought of his own talent, and his mood instantly turned gloomy.
“Young man, don’t be dejected.
You should be happier and smile more.”
“From you, I see the same experiences I went through—friendless and existing in solitude.”
“Taking you as a Disciple is more about helping my once-helpless self.”
“You don’t need to carry any psychological burden.
No matter how big the storms are, with your teacher here, I can shoulder them for you.”
Huang Jinxu slowly stood up, and immediately following that, a powerful Aura erupted from within his body.
The next moment, the black mark on his forehead flashed, and faintly behind him, a star flickered on and off.
Nine spirit rings appeared sequentially beneath him.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red!
The second spirit ring was a millennium ring, the fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year ring, and the eighth spirit ring was a hundred-thousand-year ring.
Placed across this continent, this configuration could be considered top-tier.
“I am a rank 97 Super Douluo, and I don’t even care about ordinary rank 98 Super Douluo.
Become my Disciple, and no matter how heavy the Karma is upon you, this teacher will be able to help you shoulder it.”
As Huang Jinxu spoke, his words were mixed with a trace of shock originating from the Soul, constantly hammering at Huo Yuhao’s heart.
“I…
Can I?”
Hearing these words and facing such a shocking scene, Huo Yuhao was dazed for a moment, as if he were dreaming.
Under the influence of Huang Jinxu’s Mental Energy, his sensitive and self-belittling heart gradually gained a bit of confidence.
“Of course you can, because you, Huo Yuhao, are the Disciple of me, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu!”
“From now on, regardless of who you face, you will never need to lower your head, and you can stand tall as a person.
No matter what kind of trouble arises, your teacher will help you block it.”
Saying this, Huang Jinxu walked up to Huo Yuhao and gently stroked his head.
His Soul Power quietly circulated, nourishing his physique and body.
Feeling this unprecedented comfortable sensation, Huo Yuhao, in his daze, felt as though he had returned to his childhood, returning into the embrace of his mother.
It was so warm, so comfortable.
“Mother…”
Huo Yuhao subconsciously murmured softly.
