Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 17 A Narrow Kill Against the God King Feng Feifei

Huo Yuhao ultimately had no choice but to encounter members of the Tang Sect.

After exchanging pleasantries, Huo Yuhao didn't show off his grilled fish skills from the original story this time. In addition, the scene of him entangled with Zhongli Yu was too cringeworthy, so Tang Ya wasn't particularly fond of Huo Yuhao.

Because Huo Yuhao had joined the Holy Spirit Cult, his attire didn't resemble that of a commoner, so Tang Ya didn't extend an olive branch to him, inviting him to join the Tang Sect.

Beibei couldn't see through Zhongli Yu's true nature, so she didn't dare let Tang Ya stay there for too long. She found an excuse and left with Tang Ya.

"Those two are Shrek Academy students." Zhong Liyu watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then suddenly said with a smile, a faint killing intent flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Just a few small insects, nothing to brag about." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, indicating that the former should not take it seriously. He knew that Zhongli Yu had done a lot of evil with Zhongli Wu, but she only appeared harmless in front of him.

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's enter the Star Dou Great Forest."

……

"They're not going to the Star Dou Great Forest, are they?" Tang Ya turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao and the other person's departing figures, saying thoughtfully.

Bei Bei shook her head and said, "It's hard to say. I can vaguely sense that Huo Yuhao possesses soul power, which he hides very well. His childhood sweetheart also seems to be quite capable; she should be able to help him hunt for soul rings."

Tang Ya stuck out her tongue and said, "It has soul power! How about absorbing it into our Tang Sect?"

Bei Bei could only smile wryly, "Great Tang Clan Leader, Miss Tang Ya, before you took me as your disciple, the Tang Clan was just you, the only one in charge. Your ambition is to strengthen the Tang Clan, so of course you'd want to recruit suitable people. But this young man Huo seems quite composed; judging from his clothes, he must be from a prominent family. Right now, our Tang Clan can only recruit commoner disciples without much background."

Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei with some curiosity and said, "I didn't realize you had such a good eye for talent."

Beibei stood up, dusted off her clothes, and said, "That's called being smart, or you could call it being wise, I can accept that too. Let's go, they have connections and power, they don't seem to need our help."

Tang Ya also stood up, chuckled, and said, "Alright then, I'll catch a few fish to grill and eat first, then we'll go."

Huo Yuhao was naturally unaware that the timeline had shifted due to Zhongli Yu, but even if he knew, he would applaud it, since the Tang Sect was too deeply involved with that Buddha, and he would be in danger if he were noticed.

"How was it? Your Majesty, did you not detect any divine sense originating from Tang San on those two Tang Sect disciples?" After Bei Bei and the other person walked away, Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to ask Bibi Dong about the two people from earlier.

Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong in the mental space had a solemn expression. She glanced at Huo Yuhao indifferently and said, "Neither of those two people had any divine sense, but that boy named Bei Bei had the aura of the Sea God's Light."

"He's the great-grandson of the Sea God Pavilion Master, so he must have bathed in the Sea God's Light countless times." Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bibi Dong had isolated his sense of destiny. As the new chosen one of destiny on the continent, he was bound to attract the attention of the God Realm.

The two had been walking for a while when a wooden sign by the roadside caught Huo Yuhao's attention.

"You will enter the Star Dou Great Forest about 50 miles ahead. There are soul beasts there. Please be careful."

Sure enough, they hadn't gone the wrong way and were finally about to reach the destination mentioned in the original text. At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. He touched the dagger on his lower back, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and strode forward with firm steps.

The air gradually became cooler, but beyond that coolness, there seemed to be a special solemnity. The Star Dou Great Forest was like a soul beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for a young life to enter—opportunity or... devouring!

In his excited state, Huo Yuhao subconsciously quickened his pace; he couldn't wait any longer.

Zhongli Yu hung at a distance from Huo Yuhao, which was Huo Yuhao's own request. After all, he couldn't let Zhongli Yu take the blame for every danger, as it wouldn't benefit his cultivation.

As Huo Yuhao was moving forward, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mind. Huo Yuhao felt that his eyes had slightly touched something, and subconsciously he activated his soul power into his spiritual eyes.

Crimson spirals swirled around his pupils, and Huo Yuhao instantly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing by on the left side of the road ahead.

As an extremely rare spiritual mutated martial soul, the evolved Spirit Eye has a strong ability to perceive, and the sense of crisis made Huo Yuhao's reaction become sharp.

A black figure flashed past where he had been standing and pounced on the ground beside him. It was so close that Huo Yuhao could immediately see what it looked like.

"Wow, it really is you!"

It was a baboon about one meter tall, with brownish-yellow fur, brown eyes, unusually long arms with sharp claws, protruding canines, and a fierce glint in its eyes. Having missed its first attack, it let out a low growl at Huo Yuhao, powerfully pushing off the ground with its hind legs, and pounced on him again.

That's right, the newcomer was none other than the ten-year-old Wind Baboon from my memory, who almost got sent to meet the King of Hell by the God of Emotions in the future!

Although Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye hasn't been equipped with a spirit ring yet, its current skills are far more exaggerated than those of someone who has one. With the infusion of spirit power, the attacking baboons appear to move as if time has stopped in his eyes.

The slightly rapid heartbeat rang out clearly, and Huo Yuhao's breathing became noticeably heavier. This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had faced an attack from a beast.

All you need to do is concentrate your soul power in your left eye and use Amaterasu to immediately finish off this ten-year-old wind baboon.

There's a difference between talking about killing someone and actually doing it.

As the saying goes, don't hesitate, or you'll be defeated. Just as Huo Yuhao was struggling with this internal conflict, the wind baboon pounced, its long arms reaching forward, its clawed hands grabbing Huo Yuhao's shoulders simultaneously. But it ultimately underestimated the strength of Huo Yuhao's body; its claws could only leave a few white marks on Huo Yuhao's shoulders, as if they were cast from bronze and iron.

With a strange cry, the baboon grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders, its strong body flipping through the air with the momentum, about to throw Huo Yuhao away.

Huo Yuhao snorted coldly. He had intended to play along with Huo Yuhao, pretending to be a noob, but instead he was met with a merciless attack. He was no longer pretending and was now laying his cards on the table: he was cheating!

His left pupil snapped open, and Amaterasu was activated!

Where the gaze focused, eerie black flames instantly ignited, and the excruciating pain from the burning caused the baboon to howl in agony, collapsing to the ground and rolling around repeatedly.

Not long after, the baboon rolled around on the ground for a while and then stopped moving completely. A faint white light began to appear on the baboon's body. Gradually, the white light slowly condensed into a white halo above its body. The halo was not clear and the light was faint, but it still stunned Huo Yuhao, who was seeing the birth of a spirit ring for the first time.

Just as Huo Yuhao was marveling at the wonders of nature, suddenly, without warning, a voice rang in his mind.

"Finally, I've encountered a human with spiritual attributes. It's a pity I can't cry, otherwise I would definitely be in tears!"

The ground beneath Huo Yuhao suddenly trembled without warning. Cracks began to appear on the ground two meters in front of him, gradually widening into fissures. Faint golden-white light could be seen shining from these fissures.

A chilling aura emanated from the cracks in the ground, and the surrounding temperature began to drop noticeably. The cracks grew larger and larger, eventually reaching a diameter of over five meters. And the golden-white light finally revealed its true form.

It was a round, fleshy head, more than a meter in diameter. It slowly crawled out, its body exceeding seven meters in length.

As it appeared, Huo Yuhao's breath began to mist with ice, and the icy chill made him shiver several times in succession.

Its entire body is white jade-colored, crystal clear, and although it emerged from the soil, its smooth skin is free of any dirt. A halo flows beneath its skin, and there is even a pair of small, glittering golden eyes on its head. Most remarkably, starting half a meter from its head, there is a circular golden pattern at regular intervals, totaling ten golden patterns from head to tail.

Hey bro, you're here! Huo Yuhao is the one who's most ready to burst into tears. Tianmeng-ge, I've been waiting for you for a whole year!

I'll continue updating twice a night, please vote with your recommendation tickets! (┳◇┳)
