I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, a blue-haired boy was observing this forest, which was known as one of the three major gathering places of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.

Looking at the dense primeval forest, the boy couldn't help but swallow hard, because in his eyes this beautiful and dazzling forest was like a ferocious beast that devoured people.

Theoretically, the boy's view of the Star Dou Great Forest was not wrong, because the Star Dou Great Forest, as the largest gathering place of soul beasts in Douluo Continent, is home to a large number of powerful soul beasts.

If you enter without preparation, you are likely to be killed by the soul beasts inside and become their dinner.

After adjusting his mindset, the blue-haired boy thought to himself, "Mom, I will definitely become a Soul Master to avenge you! I will make that Duke's Mansion regret their actions immensely! And I will demand a legitimate status for you!"

After taking a deep breath, the blue-haired boy made up his mind and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest, a place full of opportunities.

The blue-haired boy's name is Huo Yuhao, and he is the protagonist of the original novel, Douluo Continent II.

He was the third son of the White Tiger Duke of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in the Starfall Empire. As the son of a duke, he should have been of noble status and able to spend a peaceful and carefree childhood.

However, because his mother was merely a maidservant to the Duke, he did not receive the preferential treatment he was entitled to.

On the contrary, because of his status as the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke, he was constantly ostracized by the group led by the Duchess.

In the end, when he did not awaken the Evil Eye White Tiger, the inherited martial soul of the White Tiger lineage, during the martial soul awakening ceremony, he awakened a mutated original martial soul, the Spirit Eye.

Actually, this is not so bad. As long as his innate soul power level is high enough, the Duchess's people cannot openly target the mother and son.

However, fate did not favor Huo Yuhao and his mother. After a series of tests, it was revealed that Huo Yuhao's innate soul power was only level one, barely meeting the minimum requirement to become a soul master.

This problem stemmed from the fact that Huo Yuhao had never eaten or drunk well since childhood. As a result, when his martial soul mutated, his body barely survived.

This result led to Huo Yuhao suffering various hidden injuries during the mutation process, and in the end, his accompanying soul power was only a pitiful level one.

This emboldened the Duchess, who falsely accused the mother and son of having a contagious disease, and they were eventually forced to live in a dilapidated cabin on the outskirts of the Duchess's residence.

As for Duke Baihu, his nominal father, he had been leading troops in battles on the border of the Star Luo Empire and had never had time to return home. He didn't even know he had a son named Huo Yuhao.

However, what truly broke Huo Yuhao's defenses was the death of his mother.

When he was eight years old, while doing laundry, he accidentally bumped into his half-brother, Dai Huabin. His nominal second brother ordered his men to cripple Huo Yuhao.

In the end, Huo Yuhao's mother stepped forward and took the beating for him, which left her with a chronic illness.

Finally, when he was ten years old, his mother, Huo Yun'er, passed away due to her frail health.

On this day, Huo Yuhao swore to the heavens that he would avenge his mother.

It was as if Heaven had taken pity on his plight, and as he looked up to the sky and howled to express his resentment, a strange black bead broke through the sky and came flying in.

The eerie black bead seemed to be drawn by the resentment in his heart, flying towards Huo Yuhao and being swallowed by him. In that brief moment, he vaguely saw the figure of a black tiger.

From that day on, Huo Yuhao's physical attributes became exceptionally strong, and his soul power cultivation speed also increased significantly, becoming much faster than before. If there was anything strange about it, it was that a black vortex would appear inside his body every time he cultivated. With the help of that vortex, Huo Yuhao could quickly absorb the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental energy), accelerating his cultivation. However, the soul power cultivated in this way contained more impurities.

However, Huo Yuhao, eager to avenge his mother as soon as possible, did not take the matter to heart.

He quickly reached level ten Soul Warrior, and once he absorbed one more Soul Ring, he would be able to officially become a Soul Master.

However, after reaching level ten, he did not leave the Duke's mansion immediately. Instead, he prepared his luggage and left the mansion only after he had thoroughly familiarized himself with his enhanced body.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao began his journey to find a suitable soul beast. During this process, he encountered many soul beasts, but none of them were suitable for him.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul is a rare spiritual-type Martial Soul. Although this type of Martial Soul is exceptionally powerful and unpredictable, there are very few Soul Beasts suitable for spiritual-type Martial Souls.

This leads to the possibility that a spirit-type soul master might never find a suitable soul master in their entire life, and end up just settling for any soul beast.

Therefore, apart from certain powerful forces, most soul masters in the soul master world have the misconception that the future achievements of spirit-type soul masters are not far-reaching.

After searching for a while, Huo Yuhao came to a stream and planned to catch some fish to cook.

Soon, thanks to the superior eyesight of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, he caught several large fish and began to take out seasonings from his pack to grill them.

If a professional chef saw what Huo Yuhao was doing, he would be astonished. Although his skill level was not at the master level, every step he took was just right, without a single unnecessary detail.

Even when grilling, the boy can precisely grill the fish to the best condition, and after adding some seasonings, the grilled fish will definitely be a delicacy.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't have any fancy seasonings at the moment, only the most basic salt. Yet even with such simple preparation, the grilled fish tasted incredibly delicious.

Huo Yuhao was able to do this precisely because of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul. Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul is a martial soul whose true form is an eye. With this martial soul, he can see many things that ordinary people cannot notice, and it also allows him to concentrate on his work.

It was precisely because of Huo Yuhao's spiritual eye that his culinary skills unknowingly surpassed those of many master chefs.

Therefore, if any famous chefs meet Huo Yuhao, they will do everything in their power to ask him to become their disciple.

However, if such a thing were to happen, Huo Yuhao would definitely refuse it outright, because for him, cooking skills were merely a skill he learned out of necessity for survival.

He doesn't want to become a highly skilled chef; at this stage, he only wants to improve his abilities to avenge his mother.

Given such deep-seated hatred, unless someone is completely out of their mind, they certainly wouldn't waste time on trivial matters like cooking.

About fifteen minutes later, the grilled fish in his hand was ready. Just as he was about to put it aside to cool down a bit and take the time to process the rest of the fish, he was about to leave it to cool down.

"It smells so good!"

A delighted cry rang out, the clear and melodious sound startling Huo Yuhao.

He saw two people walking towards him along the stream, following the direction of the sound.

Walking in front was a black-haired girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had her hair in a ponytail and was wearing a light blue outfit, giving off a youthful and energetic vibe.

Meanwhile, the girl was staring intently at the grilled fish in Huo Yuhao's hand. It was obvious that the "smells delicious!" Huo Yuhao had just heard was from her.

Behind her was a boy of similar age, tall and slender with dark blue hair.

Although he was young, he exuded an air of refinement. Like the young girl, he also noticed Huo Yuhao, but he was more interested in Huo Yuhao himself than the grilled fish in Huo Yuhao's hand.
