“Awake.”
The two million-year spirit rings retracted into his body, gradually calming his own spirit power fluctuations.
As Little Yuhao just opened his eyes, he heard Baili Du’s familiar, concerned voice.
Then, a large leaf-wrapped cup of emerald green liquid appeared before his eyes, from which he could smell a clear, refreshing aroma with hints of plant fragrance.
“Drink…
it.
It’s very good for your body right now.”
Setting aside weird thoughts like bathwater, who would complain about Heaven And Earth Treasure being dirty?
“Thank you, Uncle.” Little Yuhao never doubted Baili Du’s words.
He took the large leaf and drank it all in one go.
Instantly, a rich life force filled his entire body, making him moan in comfort.
This dense vitality dissolved the fatigue from walking in the forest, greatly enhancing his physical constitution.
Even his delicate little face became a few shades fairer and more translucent.
“…”
Baili Du’s expression was strange.
It wasn’t because Little Yuhao had drunk Gu Yuena’s bathwater, but rather because of Little Yuhao’s current appearance.
He…
wasn’t turning him into a little effeminate boy, was he?
Huo Yun’er and Dai Hao’s genes were undoubtedly quite excellent.
As for Huo Yuhao’s relatively average appearance in the early stages, it was mostly due to developmental issues caused by Innate deficiencies.
Once his nutrition caught up later, he naturally became a handsome young man.
Even if not on par with Tang Wulin or Lan Xuanyu, he was no worse than Tang San.
This Little Yuhao had been nourished by the essence blood of two God Kings.
Any Innate deficiencies or foundational issues had long been remedied, but his development was a bit too good…
naturally formed, soft eyebrows, long eyelashes, a straight nose bridge, fair skin, lips of just the right thickness, and especially those clear, large eyes.
If dressed in neutral clothing, one might truly not be able to tell his gender…
Forget it, forget it, no need to think about such irrelevant things.
Little Yuhao said to Baili Du with considerable excitement, “Uncle Baili, I really got a spirit ring!”
Baili Du smiled, “Mhm, mhm.
How did it feel fusing with a million-year spirit ring?”
[Holy shit!
How could this person know about million-year spirit rings!
And that cup just now was…]
Tian Meng Ice Silkworm, within Little Yuhao’s spiritual sea, was instantly horrified upon hearing this.
As a million-year Spirit beast, its super perception seemed to suddenly pick up something from Baili Du…
It couldn’t see through his depth.
He knew about million-year spirit rings and could bring out a cup of life water from the Core Area unscathed…
That meant this human was definitely more terrifying than that big black dragon, Di Tian!
The corners of Baili Du’s mouth lifted slightly, his smile amiable, without a trace of malice.
“Don’t be nervous, Brother Tianmeng.
Like you, I hope Little Yuhao can live well…
We’ll be family from now on, so please get along well with Little Yuhao from today onward.”
Perhaps because Baili Du’s approachable demeanor lowered its guard, Tian Meng Ice Silkworm tentatively asked…
[You…
who exactly are you?
Why can’t I sense your aura?
And you, what do you know?]
Baili Du looked at Little Yuhao’s shocked and confused face and shrugged.
“Don’t be so tense.
Let’s explain the whole story to Little Yuhao together.”
After nearly half an hour of explanation, popularization, questions, and clarifications, Huo Yuhao finally understood what kind of terrifying Opportunity he had obtained.
He could get all this because of Baili Du!
Little Yuhao’s eyes reddened, and he choked up, “Uncle Baili, thank you…
I, I…”
“What is meant to be yours will eventually be yours; what is not meant to be yours, do not force it.
These were originally yours.
No one can take them away, and no one but you can obtain them.”
Seeming to have already seen through what Little Yuhao was thinking, Baili Du gently stroked his soft hair and spoke first, “If you’re thinking about repaying me or something like that, don’t.
Remember what I said.
What you should use the power you now possess for is something you should always be thinking about.”
“Mhm, I will definitely work hard from now on and will absolutely not let you down!”
“Good!
I’ll be watching you closely.
If you don’t meet my expectations, I might just beat you up, you know.”
“Haha, I won’t give Uncle Baili that chance!”
The two chatted and laughed as they left the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to their home on the outskirts of Star Luo City.
On the way, Baili Du also learned about the Spirit Abilities Tian Meng Ice Silkworm, as a Spirit Soul, had granted Little Yuhao.
Perhaps because Little Yuhao’s Spiritual Eye Martial Soul contained [Power of Emotion] or because Tian Meng Ice Silkworm had completed the Spirit Soul ritual first, it wasn’t the familiar “Tianmeng Four-Piece Set” he knew.
First spirit ring: [Gold] Tian Meng Ice Silkworm (Mental Detection Sharing, Mental Interference Domain, Soul Protection, Spiritual Clone)
Second spirit ring: [Gold] Tian Meng Ice Silkworm (Simulation, Mental Chain)
The originally somewhat overlapping skill effects of [Mental Detection] and [Mental Sharing] were combined into one, occupying only one skill slot.
If you can share, why can’t you detect?
One can’t help but suspect if Tian Meng Ice Silkworm messed up the skill tree.
The original [Soul Shock] was replaced by [Soul Protection], essentially a budget version of [Life Reflection Shield], only defending against mental attacks.
After all, simple mental attacks like [Soul Shock] could be used by any Spirit Master with sufficient Realm, even if not specialized in mental abilities.
As for that Mental Chain and Spiritual Clone, they were techniques Tian Meng Ice Silkworm had comprehended on its own, considered two godly skills for bullying the weak.
He immediately felt a bit depressed.
Why didn’t he have such good luck back in the day?…
While letting Little Yuhao continue Cultivating how to control his Martial Soul and the two extreme attributes, Baili Du took the Opportunity to check the overall situation on the Douluo Continent.
As expected!
A certain someone who had also revived due to the [Reincarnation Hurricane] and [Space-Time Turbulence] had already assessed the situation.
Originally, Baili Du thought he would do something, but unexpectedly, the other party had endured it, remaining inactive all along.
This wasn’t right…
Although they hadn’t officially interacted, as the Dominator of a plane, that guy was clearly the arrogant type.
After being tricked so badly by the Tang Family, he actually didn’t retaliate?
A bit of a pity.
He was quite covetous of his ultimate artifact…
After confirming the movements of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, Baili Du turned his gaze to the Dou Ling Empire.
When he saw that grandson Lan Xuanyu, in order to Awaken his Martial Soul, didn’t hesitate to join the Xuan Ming Sect as a servant, Baili Du almost laughed out loud.
This time, there’s no Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena to protect you.
Hope you can still be as smug as before.
Baili Du remembered during a previous Tang Clan gathering, Tang Xuanyu had pretended to be humble, saying [his own strength was already extremely close to the Peak of the Dragon God in his prime].
But when he first arrived in this era, he had gone to the Dragon Valley and taken the Dragon God Marrow from the Dragon God’s remains, comparing the gap between Lan Xuanyu and the original Dragon God.
Looking at it now, he was just bragging, catching up to the Dragon God…
He needed to practice for tens of thousands of years more.
He’d leave Lan Xuanyu alone for now.
He’d let Little Yuhao deal with him later.
However, there was one place Baili Du was still somewhat concerned about.
His gaze looked northward.
That was…
Shrek Academy.
He wasn’t looking at Shrek Academy itself, but at the Golden Tree inside Shrek Academy.
He didn’t have much time left to stay on the Douluo Continent.
After much thought, he felt it would be better to collect some interest from the Tang Family now.
