Imagine this: a young Spirit Master with astonishing talent, twin spirits, and a face that screams ‘youthful’ and ‘harmless,’ hailing from the hostile Douluo Three Kingdoms.
He suffered abuse in his youth and harbors hatred for the Star Luo Empire.
Now, this young man has traveled thousands of miles, crossing mountains and rivers, to pledge allegiance to the Sun Moon Empire, embracing civilization and freedom.
The Sun Moon Empire would be ecstatic; this is truly a massive advantage.
(Great!
It’s freedom!
I, Huo Yuhao, am finally saved!) What does this signify?
It shows that the Sun Moon Empire is where the people’s hearts truly lie.
At the very least, the Sun Moon Empire wouldn’t casually determine a Spirit Master’s Destiny with a dismissive remark, unlike a certain ‘Holy Spirit Cult Elder.’ Moreover, as a country far richer than the Douluo Three Kingdoms, with Soul Guidance technology several generations ahead of the Three Kingdoms and Shrek, only by fully showcasing his talent could he grow most rapidly.
His unparalleled talent means the greatest allocation of resources.
Why hide it?
Does he want to grow too slowly?
Don’t be ridiculous!
Even if it was the den of evil Spirit Masters, he would accept it.
Compared to the evil Spirit Masters he might encounter, he was more afraid of the suffocating Blue Silver Entanglement that constantly plagued him.
Besides, putting everything else aside, was Shrek absolutely safe?
That Evil Fire Phoenix, the Shrek student who died in a Spirit King-level evil Spirit Master’s self-detonation, and the Divine King mother hidden within the Golden Tree—all these incidents…
No, the Tang Buddha’s curse is starting to take effect, I accidentally padded the word count.
Huo Yuhao quickly reined in his thoughts.
The theory is feasible, the success rate is high, all that’s left is practical execution, so let’s do it!
After finishing the grilled fish in his hand, the path in Huo Yuhao’s mind was already clear.
Tang Ya had been waiting for Huo Yuhao to invite her to eat grilled fish, but he never spoke.
Now, seeing Huo Yuhao about to leave, she pouted angrily and finally couldn’t hold back.
“Yuhao, do you have any siblings at home?” “No comment.” Again, Huo Yuhao was in a hurry to leave.
But Tang Ya seemed to have gone mad, still relentlessly pursuing Huo Yuhao as he tried to leave.
“Then what was the age of your first spirit ring?
Was it that Wind Baboon?” “No comment.” Finally, Bei Bei couldn’t bear it anymore and, covering his forehead, got straight to the point.
“Yuhao, what Teacher Xiaoya means is, you came to hunt Spirit Beasts alone, right?
If you have nowhere to go now and no plans for the future, why not join our Sect?” Huo Yuhao stopped in his tracks.
Don’t misunderstand; it was purely because he found these two a bit annoying.
“I said, I’m not interested.” Seeing this, Tang Ya didn’t get discouraged: “Yuhao, don’t rush to refuse.
Our Sect was once the number one Sect on the Continent, the Tang Sect.
You know about our ancestor Tang San, who ascended to godhood, right?
He single-handedly changed the Continent’s landscape and laid the foundation for Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent.
He was the founder of our Tang Sect.” “If you are willing to join the Tang Sect, we can teach you our existing unique skills and Hidden Weapons.
Moreover, if you want to study at an academy, I even have an exemption spot to become a Shrek student…” Laid the foundation for the Continent?
What foundation?
Is it the foundation for rampant evil Spirit Masters and no path for advancement for low-level Spirit Masters?
To be honest, these two weren’t bad people, but Huo Yuhao truly felt he had made himself clear and had no feelings for them.
He felt that if he didn’t refuse in a different way, these two would continue to pester him.
“The former number one Sect on the Continent, then what about now?” “Now, now there are only the two of us left, me and Bei Bei.” Tang Ya’s expression darkened as she spoke, her eyes filled with hatred.
“That’s truly great!” As he said this, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of clarity.
Before the two could react, he quickly shook them off and ran away.
“He…
he’s so rude!” Tang Ya watched Huo Yuhao’s retreating back and couldn’t help but stomp her foot in anger.
Bei Bei quickly came over to comfort her.
To be honest, from the very beginning, he had sensed Huo Yuhao’s aloofness.
Although he didn’t know why a young man had changed so much in such a short time, deep down, he was actually relieved.
For no other reason, compared to the previously ordinary-looking and innocent young man, Huo Yuhao’s current appearance was simply too devastating.
He was also worried that if Xiaoya was so concerned about Huo Yuhao now, what if she fell in love with him later?
“Alright, alright, you still have me.
When we revive the Tang Sect, I’ll be with you, and if there’s a chance, I’ll ask Grand Ancestor to help us.” Xiaoya crossed her arms in anger.
“Hmph, I’ll revive the Tang Sect with my own abilities.
Who needs your help, stinky Bei Bei?” “Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Xiaoya is the most amazing.” Huo Yuhao, who had already fled far away, obviously couldn’t hear these words.
He naturally wouldn’t just rush all the way to Tianming City.
After completely leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, he first entered a city in the Star Luo Empire.
After much inquiry, he found a caravan heading to Tianming City.
After finding a way to deal with some local ruffians and obtaining their money, he quickly gained permission to travel with the merchant caravan.
Even after the caravan learned he was a Spirit Master, they didn’t take his two gold coins.
Instead, they gave him a reward, hoping that Huo Yuhao could help them as much as possible if they encountered danger.
What else could he say?
He could only sigh that it was incomparably easier for Spirit Masters in this World to acquire wealth compared to ordinary people.
It could be said that as long as you possessed sufficient strength and had no moral bottom line whatsoever, those individuals carrying large sums of money were your ATMs.
Of course, Huo Yuhao couldn’t do such things.
As for acting as a caravan guard, it was a fair exchange of equivalents, and his wallet mysteriously became much fatter.
There were also two Spirit Elders in the group, so he probably wouldn’t need to make a move.
Thus, after simply encountering two troublesome groups on the road and nothing else happening, the caravan finally arrived at Tianming City, a border city of the Star Luo Empire, half a month later.
Leaving the caravan and receiving his reward, Huo Yuhao prepared food for several days.
To the west lay the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, the Mingdou Mountain Range.
The success of his plan depended on it, so Huo Yuhao had to be extra careful.
After making all preparations, he used his Mind Interference Domain to change his identity overnight and left Tianming City, plunging into the Mingdou Mountain Range.
At this point, the most dangerous and crucial step arrived: avoiding detection by the Star Luo Empire’s border troops, and even after entering the Sun Moon Empire, avoiding the Soul Guidance legions stationed at their border.
As for inspections, after knocking out a lone local resident of the Sun Moon Empire and obtaining his identity documents, Huo Yuhao used his Mind Interference Domain to simulate the other person’s appearance.
It could be said that the Mind Interference Domain Spirit Ability Tianmeng gave him played the most crucial role on his journey to becoming a ‘runaway.’ Thus, with a few close calls, after spending a month, Huo Yuhao finally arrived at his loyal Mingdu.
