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

Seeing the girl's mouth watering, Huo Yuhao offered to treat them to grilled fish. Upon hearing this, the girl unceremoniously grabbed a grilled fish and began eating, while the boy behind her looked apologetic for his companion's impetuous behavior.

Huo Yuhao did not express any dissatisfaction with this. After all, he had encountered all sorts of people before coming to the Star Dou Great Forest. Although he dared not say that he could recognize all those who had ill intentions towards him at a glance, he still had a certain ability to distinguish them.

He felt that the two people meant him no harm, so he was happy to share the food a little, and he could just catch some more fish if necessary.

After some conversation, Huo Yuhao learned that the girl's name was Tang Ya, and the girl behind her was Bei Bei. They, like Huo Yuhao, had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was also a Soul Master, they planned to invite him to hunt Soul Beasts with them, but Huo Yuhao declined. Sharing food was fine, but hunting Soul Beasts together was out of the question.

After all, in the dog-eat-dog world of Douluo Continent, rashly teaming up with strangers could easily lead to betrayal. Therefore, unless you've known each other for a long time, it's best not to entrust your back to strangers.

After saying goodbye to the two, Huo Yuhao continued on his journey to find a suitable soul beast. After searching for a while, Huo Yuhao still couldn't find a suitable soul beast. Just as Huo Yuhao was thinking about whether to go deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest from the outer edge to the mixed zone, a rustling sound caught his attention.

Four or five wind baboons appeared in front of Huo Yuhao. Looking at the group of wind baboons in front of him, Huo Yuhao knew that he might have trespassed into the territory of these wind baboons.

Faced with this situation, Huo Yuhao could only pick up the White Tiger Dagger, a keepsake left to him by his mother, and fight the wind baboons. If it were the Huo Yuhao of the original story, he would have been killed by a single wind baboon with a single punch, even if he were only facing one.

However, Huo Yuhao is different now. After absorbing the demonic black pearl, Huo Yuhao's physical fitness has greatly improved. Even without a soul ring, he can withstand the wind baboon's punch with his bare body.

Of course, being hit too many times would definitely lead to serious injuries, but Huo Yuhao wasn't the type to rely solely on physical combat. Don't forget that his martial soul is the Spirit Eye. Although it doesn't have any attached spirit rings, if he simply releases it, he can use the Spirit Eye's powerful observational abilities to make predictions to a certain extent and dodge the opponent's attacks.

Moreover, the White Tiger Dagger in his hand was no ordinary dagger; it was a level 5 close-combat soul tool with certain devouring properties, more than enough to deal with these wind baboons who only had ten years of cultivation.

Huo Yuhao quickly dispatched the wind baboons one by one with his agility. However, just as he was about to kill the last wind baboon, it roared to the sky. The ear-piercing sound caused Huo Yuhao unbearable pain. Fortunately, he did not stop his actions and finally killed the enemy.

Looking at the carnage of wind baboons lying in the ground before him, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but marvel at the power of soul beasts. If it weren't for the strange black bead he had unintentionally absorbed, he might have died at the hands of these wind baboons long ago.

Just then, Huo Yuhao sensed something approaching his current location. Upon realizing this, Huo Yuhao immediately began trying to move away from his current location.

However, due to the excessive energy he had expended in slaying the wind baboons, Huo Yuhao didn't get far before being overtaken by the approaching being. It was a black ape over a meter tall. Most peculiarly, it had a tuft of hair on its forehead that resembled a golden flame. Its body didn't appear particularly strong, but it was incredibly agile. The outer layer of its black fur emitted a faint purple halo, and its eyes flickered with golden light, their gaze lively and intelligent.

Huo Yuhao had never seen this soul beast before, but when he saw that it and the wind baboons he had killed before were all ape-type soul beasts, he knew that the ten-year wind baboons he had killed before were probably the little brothers of the soul beast in front of him, and now it was going to avenge its little brothers.

Huo Yuhao's guess was correct. The black ape that appeared before him was a soul beast called the Three-Eyed Demon Ape, a dual-attribute soul beast of darkness and spirit. The Three-Eyed Demon Ape's spirit attribute not only granted it the ability to directly attack the opponent's spiritual sea, but also gave it intelligence surpassing that of other soul beasts of the same level.

The three-eyed demonic ape before him had cultivated for about four hundred years, far beyond what Huo Yuhao, who had already exhausted a great deal of soul power and physical strength, could handle alone. Huo Yuhao had only one option: to run.

But would the Three-Eyed Demon Ape, the murderer who harmed his younger brother, easily let him go? Of course not. A black light flashed from his third eye, and Huo Yuhao suddenly felt as if his head was about to explode.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Three-Eyed Demon Ape punched Huo Yuhao, sending him flying dozens of meters and smashing a tree in the process.

Huo Yuhao, who had been sent flying by a punch, immediately woke up from his splitting headache. He could feel that several of his ribs were broken, and he could also feel that his body was unable to move.

He could only watch helplessly as the three-eyed demonic ape's fist drew ever closer, sealing his fate. This sight reminded Huo Yuhao of his deceased mother, recalling her helpless and sorrowful expression, and a surge of anger and resentment rose within him.

He hadn't avenged his mother! He hadn't avenged that despicable duchess! He hadn't avenged that irresponsible husband, that irresponsible man he should call his father! How could he die here? He was unwilling! Unwilling!!!

As if responding to the resentment in his heart, the black bead in Huo Yuhao's body began to move. A large number of black patterns began to appear on Huo Yuhao's body, some of which formed the character "王" (king) on ​​his forehead.

Huo Yuhao roared to the sky—not a human's cry, but a tiger's roar! The Three-Eyed Demon Ape stopped its attack. For some reason, the weak human before it had transformed into a ferocious beast.

The three-eyed ape could clearly feel the bloodline suppression from its superior predator, giving it the feeling that if it delayed even a step, it would surely face death.

However, the three-eyed demon ape was much stronger than the human in front of him. With his powerful mental strength, he quickly suppressed the bloodline and prepared to continue his attack.

However, just as the three-eyed demon ape's fist was about to shatter Huo Yuhao's body into dust, his fist was caught, and the person who caught it was none other than the young Huo Yuhao in front of him.

Just as the Three-Eyed Demon Ape was about to retreat and use a mental attack to finish off its opponent, it felt a wave of dizziness. For some reason, the soul power in the Three-Eyed Demon Ape's body was decreasing at an extremely fast rate. After careful observation, the Three-Eyed Demon Ape discovered that its soul power was being devoured by the human in front of it.

Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Demon Ape disregarded avenging its underlings and decided to run as far away from this strange human as possible. However, Huo Yuhao's hand was like an iron clamp, refusing to let go of the Three-Eyed Demon Ape's grip no matter what it tried. In response, the Three-Eyed Demon Ape could only raise its other fist, hoping to knock the human away and buy itself some time to escape.

What made it feel even more desperate was that Huo Yuhao dodged its punch and seized the moment when it was still stunned, using his free hand to swing the White Tiger Dagger and stab at the third eye of the Three-Eyed Demon Ape.

Finally, Huo Yuhao successfully pierced the third eye of the Three-Eyed Demon Ape, and a yellow spirit ring began to flash before Huo Yuhao's eyes. At this moment, Huo Yuhao also recovered his senses from his previous berserk state.

Huo Yuhao was very surprised to see the dead three-eyed demon ape, but when he saw his hands stained red, he knew that he had killed the black ape.

Huo Yuhao was a little confused about how he killed the soul beast, but he quickly stopped worrying about it and decided to absorb the hundred-year soul ring generated by the soul beast.

Although he didn't recognize the spirit beast, judging from their previous encounter, the spirit beast in front of him used the mental attribute, so this spirit beast should be very suitable for him.

After some adjustments, Huo Yuhao was able to absorb the hundred-year spirit ring, which excited him greatly. He had expected that finding even a spirit-attribute spirit beast would be a problem; he might even have to settle for a ten-year spirit beast. But he had actually killed a spirit beast that was just right for him! It was truly a stroke of luck!

Just as Huo Yuhao was fantasizing about his bright future, a voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

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

At this very moment, the gears of fate began to turn once more.
