Lan Xuanyu asked with feigned nonchalance, “By the way, Senior Brother, did you guys happen to meet someone named Huo Yuhao on your way here?”
He knew very well that the Shrek Seven Devils like Beibei and Tang Ya were merely accessories to the revival of the Tang Sect; the true master of the Tang Sect’s restoration was Huo Yuhao.
Even his grandfather had personally acknowledged that Huo Yuhao had made the greatest contribution to the Douluo Continent.
Beibei shook his head in confusion, “Huo Yuhao?
I’ve never seen such a person…”
“Never seen him?” Lan Xuanyu was instantly perplexed.
The job of reviving the Tang Sect should have been his!
Where did he go?
His body shivered uncontrollably as a wild thought rose in his mind.
Could it be that Huo Yuhao is also alive and is deliberately avoiding the Tang Sect in this era…
Cold sweat instantly drenched his back.
If something went wrong with Huo Yuhao, Lan Xuanyu didn’t dare imagine what would happen to the era of his father Tang Wulin and himself.
No, no!
If that’s the case, the entire history of the Douluo Continent will be a total mess!
Although Lan Xuanyu was terrified, he was once a God King level powerhouse after all, and his mindset was relatively strong.
He soon figured out what he needed to do.
He had to get everything back on track!
But for now, he still had to continue fulfilling his duties as a Tang Sect Disciple and help Tang Ya obtain her third spirit ring.
Unsurprisingly, Tang Ya’s choice of Spirit Beast was still aligned with a certain God King.
Datura Snakes, Ghost Vines, and even Man Faced Demon Spiders and Pit Demon Spiders were the best choices according to Tang Ya.
Lan Xuanyu found this laughable.
There was only one Tang San in the entire Douluo Continent, and these juniors who wanted to replicate his grandfather’s glorious achievements were simply not up to par.
These fools—don’t they know that what their Tang Clan passed down was the Blue Silver Emperor, not Blue Silver Grass?
Of course, Lan Xuanyu had no obligation to tell Tang Ya.
On the way, Lan Xuanyu exchanged tips on the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill with Beibei, completely ignoring Tang Ya at the side.
What puzzled Lan Xuanyu was that the Mysterious Heaven Skill passed down in this era was actually different from the version he knew, which had been personally taught by Tang San in the God Realm.
The completeness of the Mysterious Heaven Skill mastered by Tang Ya and Beibei was far inferior to the one he knew.
The most critical Mind-Cultivation Technique was hidden, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, which were most important for developing one’s potential, had been cut.
Many other parts were also lacking.
This resulted in the results of these Tang Sect Disciples’ cultivation being far inferior to those of the Tang Family, even though it was the same Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Presumably, his grandfather Tang San had held back in some aspects.
One must believe in the wisdom of the Sea God!
Not long after they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, they unexpectedly encountered a Man Faced Demon Spider with a cultivation of five thousand years…
If this were Lan Xuanyu’s previous life, once his Dragon God Bloodline Aura was released, any Spirit Beast, no matter how high its cultivation, would have to obediently kneel on the ground and lick his shoes.
But now…
“Run!!!”
Beibei roared, without a single shred of desire to fight.
He led Tang Ya in a frantic escape using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, wishing his parents had given him two more legs.
That was a five-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider!
To put it bluntly, even a Spirit King could struggle against it.
Little Spirit Elders like them were no different from food being delivered to its door.
Lan Xuanyu gritted his teeth unwillingly.
Although he felt aggrieved, his body was very honest, and for a moment, he actually ran faster than Beibei and the others.
He didn’t forget to occasionally throw light orbs mixed with water, fire, and earth elements behind him to hinder the Man Faced Demon Spider’s progress.
However, the difference in strength was too vast.
In the end, Tang Ya and Beibei were tripped by the silk spat out by the Man Faced Demon Spider, and Lan Xuanyu failed to dodge the Spider Web Restraint.
In the blink of an eye, the Man Faced Demon Spider reached them.
Its sharp spider legs pierced through the arm of Beibei, who was trying to protect Tang Ya, and Lan Xuanyu’s upper thigh.
It was only an inch away from his little bird…
Fortunately, Beibei had a background.
Seeing that the situation was dire, the teacher escorting him for the spirit hunt appeared, repelled the Man Faced Demon Spider, and took Beibei and Lan Xuanyu back to Shrek Academy for treatment.
On the second day after Lan Xuanyu and the others left the Star Dou Great Forest, the exhausted Huo Yuhao finally woke up after sleeping for a whole day.
Baili Du had said before that he must first join Shrek Academy and use his own eyes and heart to see what this so-called Holy Land for Spirit Masters was really like, and then make his own judgment on whether to stay or leave.
Although he didn’t understand why he had to go to Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao still had great faith in Baili Du’s words.
However, before that, he had to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his third spirit ring.
It was still that same spot where fate was set, but the person had changed.
Sitting by a small stream, Huo Yuhao skillfully set up a fire to roast fish.
Before long, the unique fragrance of Huos Roasted Fish filled the surroundings.
Even the mini version of the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm perched on Huo Yuhao’s shoulder sniffed pathetically.
“Yuhao, I want to eat too.”
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.
Just as he handed the roasted fish to his shoulder, ripples appeared on the distant surface of the river.
“Who is it!?”
His right hand instantly turned into a deep blue dragon claw with dark purple lightning snakes surging upon it as he looked at the stream with extreme vigilance.
Tian Meng didn’t care about the roasted fish anymore.
His white, chubby body twisted nimbly, shielding Huo Yuhao in front of him.
At that moment, a dark gold, triangular-pyramid-shaped head emerged from underwater, its small eyes of the same color staring intently at the roasted fish in Huo Yuhao’s hand.
“You actually discovered this king?
Human boy, you are not simple…”
Then its figure emerged from the water—it was actually a giant tortoise!
It was over two meters in diameter.
The golden shell on its back was extremely even and deep, and even the color in every line of the shell was dark gold without any flaws.
However, its Aura was somewhat listless and its vitality was extremely weak, giving off the feeling of being on the verge of death.
Although its voice was muffled, the fact that this tortoise could speak human language meant…
“A…
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast?”
Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao grabbed the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm and tried to turn around and flee.
However, a soft force gently enveloped Huo Yuhao, preventing him from running away.
“Hey, hey…
Don’t run, don’t run.
Human boy, this king has no ill intent, rest assured.”
“Ahem, let me introduce myself.
This king is the Auspicious Beast among tortoises, a super expert with a hundred-thousand-year cultivation, the Golden Tortoise.”
Huo Yuhao and the Tian Meng Ice Silkworm glanced at each other.
Tian Meng gave him a look and quietly hid his figure.
“…So, Senior Golden Tortoise, is there something you need from me?”
The Golden Tortoise nodded with an air of self-importance, but its small eyes were staring straight at the roasted fish in Huo Yuhao’s hand.
“Mm, of course.
But first, let this king taste the flavor of that roasted fish in your hand before I tell you.”
Is there any connection between the two?
I feel like you just want to eat…
Although he really wanted to complain, Huo Yuhao still tentatively reached out and handed the roasted fish to the Golden Tortoise’s mouth.
Eating the roasted fish in one bite without any politeness, the Golden Tortoise’s small eyes instantly widened several times, and its originally listless Aura actually rose quite a bit.
It almost wanted to cry.
Humans really know how to live!
What kind of life had it been living before…
it was just purely eating raw sashimi.
