Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 17 Starlight Shines Brightly

As a well-trained ninja, Huo Yuhao always considered himself to be calm enough, but this time he really couldn't calm down. The other party didn't seem to be much older than him, but the other party was already a four-ring Soul Master. Perhaps in a few days, after the other party finished hunting for Soul Rings, he would be a genuine Soul King.

What does this mean?

In just ten years, or perhaps even less, a Soul Saint who can reign supreme among the powerful figures of Douluo Continent will emerge. At that time, the Dragon Brother in front of us will probably be in his early twenties, or even younger.

Looking at myself, I am only a level 10 Soul Master at the moment. Whether I can cultivate to level 20 and become a Great Soul Master by the age of 12 is still uncertain. What level can I reach by the age of 20?

Soul Master, or Soul King?

For a moment, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but scratch his head, forcing himself to calm down.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao thought of something quite crucial.

If Brother Long's talent is already so amazing that he can break through to the Soul Saint realm in his early twenties, then how unfathomable must the cultivation of Old Master Poison Undying, Brother Long's master, be?

Is he an 80th-level Soul Douluo master, or is he actually one of those legendary nine-ring titled Douluo?

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao felt his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He had only come out to hunt soul beasts, and he had actually encountered a prodigy like Brother Long and someone like Senior Poison Undying, whose every move on the Douluo Continent could shake the entire continent. His luck was simply too incredible.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao's prediction of the strength of the "Xuanzi" mentioned by Du Busi rose to another level. Du Busi's strength could be logically deduced from Long Aotian's talent, so the strength of someone who could be remembered by such a powerful Soul Master should not be underestimated. Thinking about it this way, the possibility that the other party was a relative was very small. Moreover, the other party was most likely a powerful Shrek Academy legend.

Huo Yuhao was overjoyed to have exchanged a meal of grilled fish for information that could greatly help him get into university, but he didn't show it outwardly.

After chatting casually with Long Aotian for a while, Huo Yuhao politely declined the offer to help him hunt soul beasts. He felt it was inappropriate to waste such a valuable person's time. He and Brother Long and Senior Du Bu Si were just casual acquaintances, their relationship limited to a single meal of grilled fish. His Spirit Eye Martial Soul required very rare spirit-type soul beasts. Although having Brother Long and Senior Du Bu Si's help would make the search much easier, he felt he would be squandering this friendship.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao preferred to wander around the outer area more and spend more time searching for spirit-type soul beasts rather than casually use this precious favor. He wanted to keep this bond from the grilled fish, because he didn't know when this seemingly insignificant favor might come in a big way.

After seeing the two off, Huo Yuhao continued walking along the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. Along the way, he casually dealt with several foolish ten-year and hundred-year-old soul beasts that blocked his path. Originally, they wanted to have a meal with Huo Yuhao, but they underestimated their own abilities. As a result, Huo Yuhao treated them all equally, using the White Tiger Dagger to skin and debone them, turning them into delicacies to offer to their stomachs.

With a sigh, Huo Yuhao completely peeled off the fur of the white-browed tiger with piercing eyes. He squatted in front of the tiger's massive body, gazing absently at the golden spirit ring that had formed on the tiger's body.

Why wasn't his own martial soul the Evil-Eyed White Tiger? It wasn't for the sake of the Duke's status or anything, but tiger-type spirit beasts were really easy to find and kill. He didn't even need to take the initiative; as he walked, a tiger-type spirit beast would jump out and eat him.

After walking for a whole day, he had already encountered two tiger-type spirit beasts. This tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead looked to be about three hundred years old. If his own spirit was a white tiger spirit, wouldn't he have found his first spirit ring with ease?

Spirit-type Soul Beasts

Huo Yuhao sighed. This type of soul beast was really too rare. All the spirit-type soul beasts he had heard of were legendary beings, such as the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, the Starlight Unicorn, and the Mermaid. Putting aside everything else, just hearing their names, none of them were something he was qualified to touch.

Does he really have to hunt down spirit-type soul beasts?

Huo Yuhao's eyes showed a thoughtful look. There was no doubt that the Spirit Eye Martial Soul was a mental-type Martial Soul, but hunting a mental-type Soul Beast was indeed not so easy for him.

Night had fallen, and the stars twinkled. Huo Yuhao had already set up his tent and established a perimeter around the camp. He then sprinkled some powder, which was not ordinary snake repellent powder, but rather powder made from the dried and ground excrement of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Although the smell was very faint, the soul beasts' keen sense of smell could still detect it. For the soul beasts in the outer area, the smell of ten-thousand-year-old soul beast excrement was extremely terrifying. For this reason, ten-thousand-year-old soul beast excrement powder was a highly sought-after commodity among low-level soul masters.

Huo Yuhao lay flat in the tent, his mind heavy with worries. Spiritual attribute soul beasts were incredibly rare, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to encounter a suitable soul beast during his hunt. During the day, he had also encountered geniuses like Long Aotian and Du Busi, as well as powerful seniors in the soul master world. For a moment, his mind was filled with countless thoughts, and he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Pulling back a corner of the tent fabric, Huo Yuhao gazed wistfully at the night sky. The bright moon hung high, its cool light illuminating the ground. Normally, on such a bright and clear moonlit night, the stars would be obscured and difficult to see, but today was different. The deep blue sky resembled a ribbon, with the stars like sparkling gems adorning the night.

On that dazzling Milky Way, a deep red star was twinkling, drawing Huo Yuhao's attention involuntarily.

Beside the deep red star, two pale red stars were slowly rotating. Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes were fixed on the three Class D stars. The deep red star among the three Class D stars seemed to have come alive, as if it wanted to tell him some ancient and profound secrets.

However, Huo Yuhao's attention was quickly diverted elsewhere. A rustling sound came from nearby, instantly alerting Huo Yuhao.
