Think about it: a teenager with heaven-defying talent, possessing twin martial souls, with a face that screams “youthful” and “harmless to humans and animals.” He comes from the hostile Douluo Three Empires, suffered abuse in his childhood, and harbors a deep hatred for the Star Luo Empire.
And now, this teenager has traveled thousands of miles, crossing mountains and rivers to defect to the Sun Moon Empire, embracing civilization and freedom!
The Sun Moon Empire would be smiling so hard their mouths would tear!
These buffs are stacked to the max, really!
(Great, it’s freedom!
I, Huo Yuhao, am finally saved!)
What does this prove?
It proves that the Sun Moon Empire is the true desire of the people!
At the very least, the Sun Moon Empire wouldn’t be like a certain “Holy Spirit Cult Great Elder,” whose casual comment of “unworthy of cultivation” could almost decide a soul master’s fate.
Furthermore, setting everything else aside, as a nation far wealthier than the Douluo Three Empires, and with soul engineering technology leading the Three Empires and Shrek by several generations, only by fully displaying his talent could he grow up the fastest.
Unprecedented talent meant maximum resource allocation.
Hide it?
Because he thought he was growing too fast?
Stop joking!
Even if it was the headquarters of Evil Soul Masters, he’d accept it.
Compared to the Evil Soul Masters he might encounter, he was far more terrified of the suffocating Blue Silver Grass that kept entangling him.
Besides, ignoring everything else, was Shrek absolutely safe?
That evil fire phoenix, the Shrek students blown up by the corpse explosion of a Soul King-level Evil Soul Master, and the God King mother hiding inside the Golden Tree…
piece by piece, incident by incident…
Not good, Tang Buddha’s hex is starting to act up, accidentally padding the word count.
Huo Yuhao hastily reined in his thoughts.
The theory was feasible, the success rate was high, all it needed was execution.
Let’s do it!
Finishing the roasted fish in his hands, Huo Yuhao’s plans were clear.
Tang Ya had been waiting for Huo Yuhao to invite her to eat roasted fish, but he never opened his mouth.
Seeing that he was about to leave, she angrily puffed out her lips and finally couldn’t hold back.
“Yuhao, do you have any siblings at home?” “No comment.” Still the same thought: Huo Yuhao was in a hurry to run.
But Tang Ya, possessed by who knows what, persistently chased after the departing Huo Yuhao.
“Then what is the age limit of the first spirit ring you obtained?
Was it that Wind Baboon?”
“No comment.”
Finally, Beibei couldn’t stand watching it anymore.
He helplessly covered his forehead and cut straight to the chase.
“Yuhao, what Teacher Xiao Ya actually means is that you came to hunt spirit beasts alone, right?
If you have nowhere to go right now and no plans for the future, why don’t you join our sect?”
Only then did Huo Yuhao stop his steps.
Don’t misunderstand; it was purely because he felt these two were getting annoying.
“I said, not interested.”
Tang Ya didn’t lose heart.
“Yuhao, don’t rush to refuse!
Our sect is the former number one sect on the continent, the Tang Sect!
You know of the ancestor Tang San who ascended to godhood, right?
The entity who single-handedly changed the continent’s layout and laid the foundation for Douluo Continent’s soul masters—he is the founder of our Tang Sect.
If you’re willing to join the Tang Sect, we can teach you our existing secret arts and hidden weapons.
Moreover, if you want to study at an academy, I have a quota for you to become a Shrek student without taking the entrance exam…”
Laid the foundation for the continent?
What foundation?
The foundation where Evil Soul Masters run rampant today and bottom-tier soul masters have no way to rise?
Honestly, these two weren’t bad people.
It was just that Huo Yuhao felt he had expressed himself very clearly, and he felt nothing for them.
He knew if he didn’t change his method of refusal, they would keep pestering him.
“The former number one sect on the continent?
And now?” “Now…
now it’s just me and Beibei left,” Tang Ya said, her expression darkening, her eyes carrying hatred.
“Well, that’s just fantastic!”
Saying those words made Huo Yuhao’s thoughts flow smoothly.
Before the two could recover, he quickly shook them off.
Run, run!
“He…
he is just too impolite!” Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao’s retreating back and angrily stomped her foot on the ground.
Beibei hurried over to comfort her.
To be honest, from the very beginning he had noticed Huo Yuhao’s distance toward them.
Although he didn’t know why a teenager had changed so drastically in such a short time, deep down, he was relieved.
The reason was simple: compared to the ordinary-looking, naive boy from before, the current Huo Yuhao’s lethal charm in terms of looks was far too immense.
He was genuinely worried that with Xiao Ya paying so much attention to Huo Yuhao right now, what if she shifted her affections to him later?
“Alright, alright, you still have me.
I’ll be with you to revive the Tang Sect in the future.
And if there’s a chance, I’ll ask Great-Grandfather to help us.”
Xiao Ya crossed her arms angrily.
“Hmph, I want to rely on my own abilities to revive the Tang Sect.
Smelly Beibei, who needs your help?!”
“Okay, okay, Teacher Xiao Ya is the most amazing.”
By this time, the far-fled Huo Yuhao obviously couldn’t hear these words.
Naturally, he didn’t just rush all the way to Tianming City directly.
After completely distancing himself from the Star Dou Great Forest, he first entered a city in the Star Luo Empire.
After inquiring around, he found a merchant caravan heading to Tianming City.
After dealing with some local thugs and taking their money, he quickly bought the right to travel with the caravan.
In fact, once the caravan learned he was a soul master, they didn’t even charge him the two gold spirit coins.
Instead, they gave him a payment, asking Huo Yuhao to help out a little if they ran into danger.
What else could he say?
He could only sigh that in this world, it was incredibly easy for a soul master to get money compared to ordinary people.
It could be said that as long as you had strong enough power and absolutely no moral bottom line, those guys carrying huge sums of money were basically ATMs.
Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn’t do something like that.
As for acting as a caravan guard, it was a very fair, equal exchange.
His wallet mysteriously bulged a lot more.
There were also two Soul Elders in the team, so they probably wouldn’t even need him to act.
And so, after encountering two minor groups of blind troublemakers on the road—and nothing else happening—the caravan finally arrived at Tianming City on the border of the Star Luo Empire a half-month later.
Leaving the caravan and receiving his payment, Huo Yuhao prepared several days’ worth of food.
Further west lay the border line between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire: the Mingdou Mountain Range.
The success of his plan depended on this, so Huo Yuhao had to be extraordinarily careful.
After making all preparations, he used his Spirit Interference Domain, changed his identity overnight, left Tianming City, and plunged headlong into the Mingdou Mountain Range.
At this point came the most dangerous and critical step: avoiding detection by the Star Luo Empire’s border troops, and even after entering the Sun Moon Empire, avoiding the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Engineer Legions stationed there.
As for interrogations?
After knocking out a lone local resident of the Sun Moon Empire and taking his ID, Huo Yuhao used his Spirit Interference Domain to simulate the man’s appearance.
It was safe to say that the Spirit Interference Domain skill Skydream had given him played the most crucial role on his journey as a runaway.
Just like that, with some scares but no actual danger, after spending a whole month, Huo Yuhao finally arrived at his loyal Mingdu.
