“Fifty li ahead, you will enter the territory of the Star Dou Great Forest.
There are Spirit Beasts roaming about, so watch your safety!”
A familiar signpost came into view.
“Yuhao, you will walk the next section of the road by yourself.
This is a test for you.”
“Remember, fear is a biological instinct, but courage is humanity’s anthem.”
Huang Jinxu looked at this Disciple of his.
For the upcoming journey, he did not plan to participate, but rather act as a bystander, quietly watching everything unfold.
“Teacher, I will definitely not let you down!”
Huo Yuhao repeated these words once more, a trace of determination growing within his gaze.
Although he did not know what kind of test his teacher had prepared for him, he would certainly not give up.
Huo Yuhao advanced alone, heading toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The originally destined God-Slaying Wind Baboon did not appear, the million-year-old Spirit Beast Tianmeng Iceworm did not show himself, and the Necromancer Electrolux did not appear either.
It was as if, once missed, there would never be another chance to obtain them.
During this process, Huo Yuhao still encountered some ten-year-old Spirit Beasts, but with his current strength, coupled with having Cultivated the Circulating Heavens Astral Formula, the Illusory Moon Star Pupil, and other cultivation Techniques, dealing with them was still quite effortless.
“Have I already missed it?”
Watching Huo Yuhao, who had already penetrated deep into the area where hundred-year-old Spirit Beasts resided, his destined Opportunity still had not appeared.
Huang Jinxu furrowed his brow slightly.
This deviated somewhat from his expectations.
However, he could still discern a few things from this.
That was, his own Luck was connected with Huo Yuhao’s, causing the latter’s Luck to be diminished.
Previously, clearing potential hazards for the cultivation Technique had consumed the power of the plane’s consciousness.
Under various restrictive conditions, Huo Yuhao’s identity as the Son of Luck was temporarily suppressed.
From this aspect, Huang Jinxu also verified another conjecture of his own.
Whether it was the Tianmeng Iceworm or Electrolux, neither was an Opportunity given to Huo Yuhao by Tang San, but rather prepared for him by the plane’s consciousness.
The Tianmeng Iceworm was responsible for improving talent, solidifying foundations, and raising the lower limit, while Electrolux protected his path, broadened his vision, and elevated the upper limit.
And during this process, Tang San merely went with the flow.
Tang San’s backup plans and preparations were placed much more heavily on Wang Dong.
Even after arriving at this conclusion, Huang Jinxu still did not intervene at the very first moment.
He still needed to verify it once more.
After all, there was a time difference between the Divine Realm and the Douluo Plane.
With a time flow rate of 1 to 365, even if Tang San discovered something and wanted to intervene or make any moves, it would take time.
“Travel thirty li south; there is the first spirit ring you need, and that Spirit Beast is in a heavily injured state.
As long as you operate properly, you have the ability to slay it.”
Thinking of this, Huang Jinxu’s voice rang out within Huo Yuhao’s mind.
“Thirty li to the south?”
Hearing the teacher’s reminder, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately headed in that direction.
Along the way, he had already killed two ten-year-old Spirit Beasts that tried to take his life.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao inexplicably gained a fierce and stern aura.
“This is…”
Just as Huo Yuhao was heading in the direction pointed out by Huang Jinxu, Huang Jinxu shifted his gaze toward another direction.
Relying on his powerful Mental Energy, he sensed two people.
Two familiar figures.
Tang Ya and Beibei.
Seven days ago, they had already entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirits.
It took them a full seven days before they finally found a suitable Spirit Beast and obtained the desired spirit ring.
From the disheveled state on the two of them, it was not hard to see that this process was not easy.
This was quite interesting.
In the original timeline, after the two of them met Huo Yuhao, they quickly encountered Spirit Beasts suitable for them, and both the Spirit Beast types and the spirit ring ages were an extremely good match.
It could be said to have been a very effortless process.
But right now, the two of them had spent a full seven days to successfully obtain the spirit ring they needed.
In other words, the reason they were able to so easily obtain the required Spirit Beast previously was because of Huo Yuhao.
To be precise, it was because Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect.
What was the current Luck of the Tang Sect like?
It could be said that if not for Beibei joining, describing the Tang Sect’s Luck as being completely extinguished would hardly be an exaggeration.
He had already sensed this point when he first met Tang Ya.
At that time, the Tang Sect not only lacked any so-called Luck, but was also plagued by misfortune.
For a faction that traded weapons and profited from war, the misfortune born from the slaughter they created and the disruption of the ecological balance was bound to be immense.
But with Beibei’s joining, a sliver of the Tang Sect’s Luck was retained.
And the price was that Beibei bore this misfortune.
Beibei, as the only living Bloodline descendant of the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, was not only a top-tier Genius himself, but his Spirit also possessed the possibility of evolving into the Bright Holy Dragon.
He could be considered a Prodigy of a generation and an existence whose Luck was like a rainbow.
He should have been even more dazzling and eye-catching.
Given his age, talent, and background, he should have achieved even greater heights, but what he displayed right now was not very dazzling at all.
Not only that, later on, many people obtained hundred-thousand-year Spirit souls, and even if the Spirit souls they obtained were not hundred-thousand-year ones, they were at least seventy or eighty thousand years old.
Only Beibei alone obtained merely a twenty-thousand-year Heavenly Dragon Horse Spirit soul.
A twenty-thousand-year ninth spirit ring—even if his Spirit evolved into the Bright Holy Dragon, just how much power could he actually unleash?
Throughout the entire Douluo series, was there any Titled Douluo with a spirit ring lower than this?
Even Dugu Bo, who was hailed ten thousand years ago as the gatekeeper of Titled Douluos, was not someone Beibei could compare to.
Even Snake Lance Douluo, who was jokingly called a fake Titled Douluo, had spirit ring ages far exceeding Beibei’s.
Looking at it now, all of this had long since shown signs.
After Beibei joined the Tang Sect, he used his own Luck to stabilize the Tang Sect’s dissipating Luck, while simultaneously bearing the Tang Sect’s misfortune.
This also doomed him to never be able to set foot on the Peak.
In the originally established timeline, with Huo Yuhao’s joining, the Tang Sect’s Luck instantly grew stronger, which allowed Beibei to stop having such bad Luck continuously and prevented subsequent members of the Tang Sect from bearing that undeserved misfortune.
When Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect, Tang Ya, as the current sect master, was naturally the first person to receive the blessings and grace.
Therefore, the spirit ring she needed was delivered right before her eyes.
It was not that the Datura Snake happened to appear there by coincidence; rather, because Huo Yuhao needed it and Tang Ya needed it, it appeared there.
Right now, since Huo Yuhao had not joined the Tang Sect, Tang Ya naturally could not obtain this blessing.
Because of this, it took a full seven days and passing through a brush with life and death before she finally obtained the required spirit ring.
Come to think of it, it was truly pathetic.
Behind this, Huang Jinxu would never believe for a second that there wasn’t an invisible giant hand pushing things along.
As it turned out, Beibei was the very first unlucky fellow.
