Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 3 The Gears of Destiny

"Star Dou Forest..."

Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with a warm, sunny light as he waded through the river, leaning on a wooden stick. A dense canopy of tall trees lay not far ahead, no more than two or three hundred meters away.

We're almost at the so-called sacred land of soul beasts.

"puff!"

He glanced casually at the water, then casually flicked the wooden stick in his hand, piercing the water and hooking a fish into his basket, which was worth two silver soul coins.

He didn't actually need the basket.

But then he thought of the old woman with failing eyesight selling baskets by the roadside, and the little girl playing in the mud in front of her... He handed her two silver coins as the sky darkened, then turned and ran.

Huo Yuhao sighed softly and touched the wooden plaque in his arms: "Enthusiasm, generosity."

He remembered it.

Hopefully, this small token of my appreciation will make them feel a little better.

"It's almost time, let's eat first!"

Looking up at the sun overhead, Huo Yuhao used a wooden stick as a pole to leap up lightly, landing easily on the dry bank with splashes of water. He then cleared a small space on the spot by swinging the stick.

have to say.

Qian Renxue's blessing was incredibly powerful. After his body was completely transformed, Huo Yuhao felt like he was in a dream. He could move his body at will whenever he thought of it.

Light and agile, strong and flexible.

The flow of soul power was extremely smooth, without the slightest stagnation, a world of difference from its previous stumbling and awkward state.

However, perhaps because all his divine power was used on this, Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring was still empty.

That's why he traveled hundreds of miles to the Star Dou Great Forest, hoping to obtain a decent soul ring.

"Snapped."

Huo Yuhao folded firewood to build a fire and placed two strings of fish on top.

Whether by fate or not, just as the fish was cooked, a few light footsteps came from the woods.

A man and a woman, with no hostility.

Upon hearing the sound, Huo Yuhao looked over and concealed the light in his eyes.

Then, the boy with short, dark blue hair strolled out of the bushes, followed closely by a bouncing girl: "Wow! It smells so good! What is this?"

"..."

Huo Yuhao, who was sitting next to the basket and holding a grilled fish, was momentarily speechless, but still raised the grilled fish in his hand a little higher: "Want to try some? I have quite a few more here."

"Really?"

A look of surprise and delight filled the girl's eyes. She rushed to Huo Yuhao, snatched the skewer from his hand, and sat down beside him with a flourish, starting to gnaw on it: "Thanks! Ouch...whoosh~ It's so hot..."

Seeing her like this, Huo Yuhao tensed up and moved slightly away, looking away with an embarrassed expression.

Are all the people outside the Duke's mansion so bold and unrestrained?

"Hey, Xiaoya! Why did you just start eating?" The boy looked at her with a dark expression.

"Why not? This young man has already invited me. Do you want me to refuse him?"

The girl was somewhat indignant, grabbed another skewer of grilled fish and pointed it at his nose: "Also, disciple, please watch your manners!"

"Okay, okay... teacher!"

The boy quickly pressed the skewer of grilled fish back down, lowering his voice and speaking rapidly: "Put it down first, this belongs to someone else—"

He could already see the slight twitching in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Please stop embarrassing yourself, Grandma.

"It's okay~ You can eat with us too."

Huo Yuhao patted the basket on his back and quickly took out a few more fish, preparing them: "I caught quite a few fish in the river just now, enough for everyone." It wouldn't take him much effort to spear a few fish, and there was nothing wrong with giving a passerby a full meal.

"Thank you...."

The boy hesitated for a moment, but still chose to accept his kindness, and at the same time, he belatedly introduced himself: "My name is Beibei, and her name is Tang Ya. What's your name, little brother?"

"Huo Yuhao."

Since receiving the blessing, Huo Yuhao has become increasingly concise in his speech, always rehearsing his words in his mind before speaking to see if they align with the divine decree.

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to talk much more, Beibei wisely fell silent.

Beside the fire, two men silently gnawed on fish, with another man wolfing it down between them.

"Wow! This is absolutely delicious!"

After finishing a few fish, Tang Ya lay down on the ground, stretching with immense satisfaction: "This is the first time in my life I've eaten something so delicious! Do you want to be my personal chef from now on? Just grill fish for me every day."

"……control."

Huo Yuhao murmured, gazing at the fire: "It's best not to indulge ourselves."

"Ugh?"

Tang Ya paused for a moment, then said, "That seems to be true..."

"What do you mean 'also'? Where did you get the money to hire a chef?" Beibei retorted irritably.

Just as the two were bickering, Huo Yuhao looked up at the sun, which was gradually being obscured by clouds, and began to frown.

The sky was fine just now, so why did it suddenly turn dark? It's as if something is brewing in the sky.

Is it going to rain?
"Excuse me, I must leave."

Seeing the sky was like this, Huo Yuhao quickly stood up, nodded to the two of them, quickly packed his things, and said goodbye: "I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

……

"grumble!"

A fierce-looking baboon suddenly burst out of the forest, its sharp claws lashing out at the boy's neck with a whooshing sound.

Sensing the rapidly approaching threat, Huo Yuhao instantly turned around, and the dagger in his hand, decorated with a white tiger pattern, emitted a sharp light, extending out of thin air to a length of about three feet, like a lightsaber.

The light blade swept through the air, severing the baboon's arms along with the light. The cut surfaces were covered with charred marks caused by the high temperature, but not a single drop of blood seeped out.

"Wind Baboon? Judging from its appearance, it should be around ten years old."

Seeing the wind baboon screaming and struggling on the ground, Huo Yuhao roughly judged its age, and then decisively ended it, not letting it suffer for even half a second longer.

"Moderate".

Huo Yuhao softly recited his principles.

But that's about it.

A voice echoed in his mind: "Mental attribute! I've finally encountered a mental attribute... uh, why are you glowing?"

The soil on the open ground nearby churned up, and a bouncy, luminous white sphere squeezed out, blinking its golden beady eyes at Huo Yuhao: "Let me see... It has a bit of holiness, light? And even a little bit of fire. Isn't your martial soul attribute a bit too diverse?"

Having lived for so long, this was the first time it had ever seen such a hodgepodge of martial souls.

"Who are you? No, what exactly are you?!"

Huo Yuhao instantly became alert, and the White Tiger Dagger in his hand shone brightly again. Although he could only barely unleash a light blade once with his soul power, it was still better than sitting and waiting to die.

"What is that... Hey!"

DouDou squinted its eyes, and a chilling aura suddenly emanated from its body. Its plump body crawled out from the ground: "Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you. I am the only million-year-old soul beast in this world, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!"

　To be honest, when I first watched The Peerless, I thought Tang Ya was going to be the female lead.

　　After all, Huo Yuhao blushes easily.
