Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 286 Huo Yuhao's Humility and Elder Xuan's Praise
After hearing Elder Xuan's explanation, even Di Qianqiu, the apple of the eye of the Star Dou Great Forest, felt it was a bit like a dream. The external metacarpal bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was even rarer than the left metacarpal bone produced by a left-handed bear! This luck was so incredible that even as an imperial auspicious beast, it felt like it defied the heavens!
Seeing Elder Xuan looking at the two of them seriously, Di Qianqiu spoke first: "I already have the bones in both arms, and I am originally a power-attack type battle soul master, so I don't lack attack methods. Xiao Xiao originally absorbed the soul ring of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so this soul bone is the most suitable for her. She takes the path of both offense and defense, and she just happens to lack a powerful attack method."

Huo Yuhao agreed, saying, "That's what I think too. Let Xiao Xiao absorb this soul bone."

As a player who had already anticipated spoilers, Huo Yuhao naturally expected that Xiao Xiao would most likely not be able to absorb this soul bone. Moreover, because the owner of this soul bone was more dependent on his left arm, although this soul bone was a left palm bone, its quality might even surpass that of a normal right palm bone! As a result, the difficulty of absorption might be even more exaggerated than in the original work.

But he couldn't very well talk about this kind of thing; it was inconvenient to even make up an excuse. Prediction? Nobody believed that!

It might even lead others to believe he's trying to steal the soul bone, damaging the bond between companions. Since that's the case, and Huo Yuhao knows he can resolve Xiao Xiao's soul bone backlash problem, he might as well let her try first. If it works, it'll give this little girl some protection; if it doesn't, he can always help her later.

Seeing that neither of them was vying for the soul bone, Elder Xuan nodded slightly and sincerely said, "I thank you on behalf of Xiao Xiao."

He genuinely wanted to give the left palm bone to Xiao Xiao. After all, everyone has their own selfish motives. Xiao Xiao was his last disciple, beautiful, cute, and kind-hearted. Elder Xuan naturally adored this young girl. Moreover, he could see that Xiao Xiao was significantly inferior to Huo Yuhao in terms of martial soul grade and talent. If they could fuse with this left palm bone, it would narrow the gap between them.

However, he certainly couldn't make such a decision on his own. As an elder and a teacher at the academy, it was Huo Yuhao who injured the Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Even without his help, Huo Yuhao's current strength would make it easy for him to deal with the severely injured bear. Therefore, logically speaking, the soul bone should first belong to Huo Yuhao.

However, Huo Yuhao voluntarily offered to give up the left palm bone, whose skill was the strongest Dark Gold Terror Claw! Besides being pleased, Elder Xuan secretly admired him. He possessed talent, wisdom, and such a broad mind; no wonder Elder Mu valued him so highly. This little fellow might truly be the most suitable person to become the Sea God Pavilion Master!
Next, to ensure Xiao Xiao's safety, Elder Xuan decided to set up camp on the spot, while Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity to meditate and replenish his soul power to deal with any possible accidents that might occur when Xiao Xiao absorbs the soul bone.

Before long, both of their soul powers had fully recovered. By this time, it had already gotten dark. When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw Elder Xuan, he couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated.

In the short time they had been cultivating, Elder Xuan had already crafted a barbecue grill using a thick tree branch. A large, succulent piece of dark gold dinosaur claw bear meat had been skinned, cleaned, and skewered onto a thick branch. The firewood beneath the grill was also prepared, and at least ten kinds of seasonings were even laid out beside it. Seeing Elder Xuan's hopeful expression, Huo Yuhao immediately understood what the old man meant.

Although Huo Yuhao's proudest invention is hot pot, he was indeed a foodie in his previous life and often went camping and barbecuing with friends. In this life, with his strong mental power and the Sharingan, he can perfectly control the heat, making him very skilled at barbecuing. In this respect, he has fully inherited the "barbecue master" skill from the original Huo Yuhao.

"Hehe, Yuhao! The meat of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a rare delicacy, especially its paw, which is known as one of the top ten delicacies in the world. I'll save the paw for you; freeze it quickly and preserve it. When you get back, find some top-grade honey and cook it again. This stuff is very nutritious; let Elder Mu try it too. As for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear meat, we'll have it. You're all at the age where you're growing, so eat more."

Di Qianqiu's eyes lit up as well. She swallowed hard, looking at the bear meat. Back in the day, the meat of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was one of her favorite treats! But because of the Bear King, she always had to consider his feelings, so it was a long time before she could get a low-level Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that had "offended" her to try. It must have been over a hundred years since she last ate this stuff! "Elder Xuan, I remember our teacher once taught us that we should never light a fire where there are soul beasts," Huo Yuhao winked and teased.

Elder Xuan chuckled: "That's for you. With me here, as long as you don't set the Star Dou Great Forest on fire, there won't be any problems. Hurry up, I'm already starving."

Huo Yuhao chuckled, stopped teasing Elder Xuan, and turned his gaze to the large piece of bear meat.

Even if Elder Xuan hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have let such a top-quality ingredient slip by. This stuff is rarely seen even in Shrek Academy's cafeteria; it's far more precious and delicious than the so-called Grade 5A Wagyu beef from his previous life!

To better satisfy his appetite, Huo Yuhao even activated his True Sight to take a closer look.

He discovered that the Deinonychus meat was dark red throughout, extremely elastic, and covered with fine, evenly distributed strands of white fat, like a net. This condition generally indicates very tender meat; if it were to be graded, it would easily be a top-tier (10A) bear.

It must be said that the piece of meat that Elder Xuan picked out was indeed the best in terms of quality, apart from the bear's paw.

So, Huo Yuhao simply took out a bunch of pots, pans, vegetables, and meat, and divided the piece of dark gold dinosaur claw bear meat into two parts. One part was used for grilling, and the other was sliced ​​thinly for hot pot, along with his secret hot pot broth, which was fragrant, spicy, and numbing. Wow, all of this can only be described in four words: absolutely brilliant!
The sun slowly sets, and night quietly falls.

In this perilous Starry Sky Forest, this small patch of firelight shone brightly, and a rich aroma wafted out. Tender roasted meat, glistening with oil, was wrapped in sweet and crisp lettuce, coated with a layer of fragrant and mellow sauce, and then stuffed into the mouth. After slurping it up, the meat slices were dipped in red oil, rolled twice, and then coated with a layer of colorful egg wash.

That feeling instantly reminded Huo Yuhao of that familiar line: Enjoy the silky smoothness, a delicacy from heaven!

I'm drunk; I'm so hungry from writing all this late at night.
