Douluo: Yu Hao is reborn, this Tang San is different

Chapter 34 Living Together in the Cave
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's request, Huo Yuhao smiled confidently and patted his chest, saying, "Well, my specialty is grilled fish! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

It was afternoon, and the sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, forming patches of light. Huo Yuhao followed the winding path and soon came to a nearby pond.

The pond is not big, but the water is so clear that you can see schools of small fish swimming at the bottom. Various unknown wild flowers grow by the pond, colorful and fragrant when the breeze blows.

Huo Yuhao casually picked up a thick branch from the side and, with his agility and neat movements, quickly cut it into a simple but sharp harpoon.

Standing up straight, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with eagerness. Then, he activated his soul power, and his eyes were instantly covered by a layer of faint golden light, which was his magical martial soul eyes.

When his spiritual eyes opened, Huo Yuhao seemed to have entered a whole new world.

He could clearly see the movements of every fish in the pond, and everything around him slowed to an incomparable slowness. His gaze was fixed on a large fish swimming underwater. The scales on its body shimmered faintly under his spiritual eyes, and every flick of its tail was clearly captured by him.

Huo Yuhao held the harpoon in his hand and slowly squatted down, adjusting the angle and strength. Suddenly, he struck out, and the harpoon was like a black lightning, piercing into the water with a whistling sound.

With the precise assistance of the spiritual eyes, the harpoon hit the target accurately. The big fish was directly pierced by the harpoon and struggled desperately, splashing a large amount of water.

"Haha, I caught one!" Huo Yuhao shouted excitedly, his face filled with the joy of victory. He then pulled the harpoon out of the water and threw the fish to the shore.

Then, he began to look for the next target. With the help of his spiritual eyes, Huo Yuhao's movements became more and more skillful, and he caught one accurately every time. In a short time, the shore was filled with several fat big blue carps.

More than ten minutes later, Huo Yuhao returned to the cave with a full harvest and brisk steps.

As soon as he entered the cave, he quickly cleared a space in the middle of the cave, neatly stacked the dry firewood he had collected, and skillfully used a flint to strike sparks. Soon, the bonfire was burning brightly, and the warm flames instantly dispelled the coldness in the cave.

Then he cleaned the fish one by one, and his fingers nimbly handled the gills and internal organs with quick and skillful movements, and then skewered the fish with the sharpened branches he had prepared earlier.

Back at the campfire, Huo Yuhao placed the skewered fish over the flames, occasionally turning the branches to ensure even heating. The flames licked the fish, and the fat sizzled, soon emitting an enticing aroma.

Huo Yuhao remembered a special wild fruit he had found in the forest earlier. It had a unique sweet and sour taste, perfect for adding flavor to grilled fish. He quickly pulled the crushed fruit from his pocket and spread it evenly over the fish. The aroma of the fruit and the fish blended together, becoming even more intense.

Qian Renxue was originally leaning against the cave wall to rest, but was attracted by the fragrance. She slowly sat up straight and her eyes fell on Huo Yuhao's busy figure, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

Perhaps it was because he successfully absorbed the first soul ring. The soul power flowing in his body made Huo Yuhao exude a different kind of vitality. Coupled with Xiao Yan's physical training during this period, his figure was obviously taller and stronger than before.

He was no longer the childish figure he'd been when we'd first met. His shoulders had broadened considerably, and the muscles in his arms bulged slightly, imbued with a sense of strength. Every movement exuded confidence and competence. He didn't look like a six-year-old at all, but more like an ordinary ten-year-old, with a maturity and composure beyond his years.

"It's ready, come and try it!"

Ten minutes later, Huo Yuhao handed the grilled fish to Qian Renxue, his eyes full of anticipation.

Taking the grilled fish, Qian Renxue took a light bite. The tender fish meat with a unique aroma instantly spread in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "It's delicious! I didn't expect that you are such a good cook at such a young age." "Haha, I'm glad it suits your taste. By the way, I don't even know your name yet." Seeing that Qian Renxue was satisfied with the meal, Huo Yuhao was secretly delighted. He felt that the time had come, so he spoke carefully, trying to get closer to the other party.

After hearing Huo Yuhao ask her name, Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself that her identity was special and that if she rashly revealed her real name, it might cause unnecessary trouble. After thinking for a moment, she calmly said, "Leng Xue."

After finishing speaking, Qian Renxue asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Huo Yan."

Huo Yuhao also hesitated for a moment, calmed himself down, and replied indifferently.

Then the two began to chat about family matters.

Qian Renxue took a bite of the grilled fish and asked nonchalantly, "Huo Yan, where are you from?"

"I come from a small mountain village in the Tiandou Empire. The village is not big and is on the edge of Notting City." Huo Yuhao lowered his head slightly and said after thinking for a moment.

Qian Renxue nodded, then asked, "How old are you this year?"

Huo Yuhao raised his head, a subtle hint of alertness flashed across his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "I am eight years old this year." He knew that he looked more mature than his actual age, so he raised his age slightly by a few years.

"It's not easy to have such strength at the age of eight." Qian Renxue's eyes showed a hint of admiration, and she continued to ask: "Which soul master academy are you studying in?"

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He had never studied in any academy, but he had to answer. So, an idea struck him:

"I haven't gone to the Soul Master Academy yet. I've been studying with a traveling Soul Master senior. He taught me a lot."

After hearing that Huo Yuhao had not joined any soul master academy, a hint of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. Then she seemed to remember something, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and then she slowly reached into her arms and took out a token with elegant movements.

The token was golden in color, with a vigorous and powerful word "snow" engraved on it, which flickered faintly in the firelight.

"Brother Huo Yan, I think you have great talent. If you don't join the Soul Master Academy, it will definitely affect your cultivation. You can take this token and enroll in the Tiandou Royal Academy." Qian Renxue handed the token to Huo Yuhao, her tone filled with unquestionable confidence, as if she was offering an excellent opportunity that could not be refused.

"Tiandou Royal Academy has top-notch faculty and abundant training resources. There, you can receive the best training and your future achievements are limitless."

Looking at the token handed to him, Huo Yuhao's heart suddenly warmed. He understood that Qian Renxue meant well, but he had his own plans. He gently waved his hand, apologetically saying,
"Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a teacher. Although he is not a teacher in any academy, what he taught me is very helpful to me. I just need to follow my own teacher to learn and practice."
