“You’re awake.”
Withdrawing the two million-year Soul Rings into his body and gradually calming his fluctuating Soul Power, Little Yuhao had just opened his eyes when he heard Baili Du’s familiar, concerned voice, and then a cup of emerald green liquid wrapped in a large leaf appeared before him, emitting a clear fragrance with a hint of botanical scent.
“Drink… this.
It’s very beneficial for your body right now.”
He tossed aside any weird thoughts about bathwater; one never finds a Heaven And Earth Treasure dirty.
“Thank you, Uncle.” Little Yuhao never doubted Baili Du’s words, so he took the large leaf and drank it in one gulp.
Instantly, a rich aura of life flooded his entire body, causing him to moan in comfort; this thick vitality washed away the fatigue of walking through the forest, significantly improved his physical fitness, and even made his delicate little face appear fairer and more radiant.
“…”
Baili Du’s expression was strange, not because Little Yuhao had drunk Gu Yuena’s bathwater, but because of how Little Yuhao looked right now.
Had he… accidentally raised him into a cross-dresser?
The genes of Huo Yun’er and Dai Hao were undoubtedly quite good.
As for why Huo Yuhao’s appearance was relatively average early on, it was mostly due to malnutrition caused by congenital deficiencies.
Once his nutrition caught up, he naturally became a handsome young man; even if he wasn’t on the level of Tang Wulin or Lan Xuanyu, he was no worse than Tang San.
This Little Yuhao had been nourished by the essence and blood of two God Kings, so any congenital deficiencies or Foundation issues had long since been mended, but he had developed a bit too well…
With naturally shaped, soft eyebrows, long eyelashes, a straight nose bridge, fair skin, and lips of moderate thickness, especially those clear, large eyes, if he wore something more neutral, one truly wouldn’t be able to tell his gender.
…Forget it, forget it, stop thinking about useless things.
Little Yuhao said to Baili Du with quite a bit of excitement: “Uncle Baili, I really obtained a Soul Ring!”
Baili Du smiled: “Mm, how does it feel to fuse with a million-year Soul Ring?”
[Holy crap!
How could this person know about a million-year Soul Ring!
And wasn’t that thing just now…]
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was inside Little Yuhao’s spiritual sea, was instantly shocked upon hearing this.
As a million-year Soul Beast, its super-perception suddenly seemed to sniff something out from Baili Du…
It couldn’t see through his depth, he knew about million-year Soul Rings, and he was able to bring out a cup of life water from a land of great danger without a scratch…
That meant this human was definitely even more terrifying than that big black Dragon, Di Tian!
“Don’t be nervous, Brother Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Just like you, I hope Little Yuhao can live a good life… We are family from now on, so please get along well with Little Yuhao from here on out.”
Perhaps because Baili Du’s approachable demeanor made it lower its guard, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tentatively asked…
[Who… who exactly are you?
Why can’t Brother feel any aura from you?
And you, what else do you know?]
Baili Du looked at the shocked and confused Little Yuhao and shrugged his shoulders.
“Don’t be so nervous; let’s explain the ins and outs of the matter to Little Yuhao together.”
After nearly half an hour of explanation, popularization, questioning, and clarification, Huo Yuhao finally understood what a terrifying Opportunity he had obtained.
He was able to obtain all of this because of Baili Du!
Little Yuhao’s eyes turned red, and he sobbed: “Uncle Baili, thank you… I, I…”
“What is meant to be yours will come eventually; do not force what is not.
These things were originally yours; no one can take them away, and no one else can obtain them besides you.” Seemingly seeing through what Little Yuhao was thinking, Baili Du gently stroked his soft hair and spoke first: “If you have any thoughts about repaying me, don’t.
Remember what I said: what you should use these powers on is what you should always be thinking about.”
“Mm, I will definitely work hard in the future; I will absolutely not let you down!”
“Very good!
I will watch over you carefully, and if you don’t meet my requirements, I will spank you.”
“Haha, I won’t give Uncle Baili that chance!”
The two left Star Dou Great Forest, chatting and laughing, and returned to their home on the outskirts of Star Luo City.
On the way, Baili Du also learned of the Soul skills that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had bestowed upon Little Yuhao as a Soul Spirit.
Whether it was because Little Yuhao’s Spirit Eye Martial Soul contained [Power of Emotion] or because Tianmeng Ice Silkworm completed the Soul Spirit ritual a step earlier, it surprisingly wasn’t the “Tianmeng Ice Silkworm Four-Piece Set” he was familiar with.
First Soul Ring: [Gold] Tianmeng Ice Silkworm (Spiritual Detection Sharing, Spiritual Interference Domain, Soul Protection, Spiritual Clone)
Second Soul Ring: [Gold] Tianmeng Ice Silkworm (Simulation, Spiritual Chain)
The [Spiritual Detection] and [Spiritual Sharing], which originally had overlapping skill effects, were combined into one, occupying only one skill slot.
If it can share, why can’t it detect?
The original [Soul Shock] was replaced with [Soul Protection], which could be considered a junior version of [Life Reflection Shield].
It could only defend against spiritual attacks; after all, a pure spiritual attack like [Soul Shock] could be used by any Soul Master as long as their Realm was high enough, even if they weren’t of the spiritual type.
As for that Spiritual Chain and Spiritual Clone, they were techniques that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had comprehended itself, which could be considered two god-tier skills for bullying the weak.
He was suddenly a bit depressed; why hadn’t he been so lucky back in the day…
Leaving Little Yuhao to continue Cultivating how to control his Martial Soul and his two Ultimate Attributes, Baili Du took the Opportunity to examine the overall situation of the Douluo Continent.
Sure enough!
Someone who had also revived because of the [Samsara Hurricane] and [Space-Time Turbulence] had already grasped the situation.
Originally, Baili Du thought he would do something, but he didn’t expect the other party to endure it and remain unmoved.
This wasn’t right… Although they hadn’t officially interacted, as a Dominator of a plane, that guy should clearly be the arrogant type.
To have been schemed against by the Tang Clan like that, and he didn’t fight back?
It was a bit of a pity; he was still quite covetous of his Divine Artifact…
After confirming the movements of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, Baili Du turned his gaze to the Douling Empire.
When he saw that grandson Lan Xuanyu willing to join the Xuanming Sect as a servant in order to awaken his Martial Soul, Baili Du almost laughed out loud.
This time, there were no Tang Wulin or Gu Yuena to escort you; hopefully, you can still be as cocky as before.
Baili Du still remembered that during a previous Tang Clan gathering, Tang Xuanyu had feigned humility and said, [My strength is already extremely close to the Peak period of the Dragon God back then.]
But when he first arrived in this era and went to Dragon Valley to extract the Dragon God marrow from the Dragon God’s remains, he had compared 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 should practice for another few ten thousand years.
He would leave Lan Xuanyu alone for now; he would let Little Yuhao deal with him in the future.
However, there was one place Baili Du was still concerned about.
His gaze turned to the north.
That was… Shrek Academy.
He wasn’t looking at Shrek Academy, but at the Golden Tree inside Shrek Academy.
He didn’t have much time left to stay on the Douluo Continent; after thinking about it, he felt it would be better to collect some interest from the Tang Clan now.
