A Boy's Dream

"Hmm, strange..."

Amid the clouds and mist, a figure stood quietly, gazing into the distance, though no one knew what he was looking at.

A luxurious blue robe and waterfall-like blue hair—only one person in this world known as the Divine Realm possessed them.

Sea God Tang San.

"What is it, Third Brother?"

Another pink figure stepped out from the illusion, came to Tang San's side, and wrapped her arm around his.

Her pink dress and long scorpion braid proclaimed her identity: Xiao Wu, who shared the Asura Godhood with Sea God Tang San.

Tang San frowned and said in confusion, "Recently, it seems a new star has risen on Douluo Continent. I tried to see his fate clearly, but it was directly blocked by an unknown fog."

"You know that, for the sake of Douluo Continent, I have poured in far too much effort and left behind many contingencies. But now, the Tang Sect is declining. As its founder, I truly cannot bear to see it vanish like this. Yet as a God Realm Enforcer, how can I personally break the rules and interfere with changes in the plane?"

Xiao Wu spoke softly. "It's all right, Third Brother. Father and Mother are also on Douluo Continent, and Da Ming and Er Ming are there too. Whatever happens, the four of them should be able to handle it. Besides, the Tang Sect's decline is also the result of the times advancing."

Tang San closed his eyes. "Even so... sigh..."

Tang San sighed. Just as he was about to return with Xiao Wu, he suddenly froze.

"Impossible! Why has the connection suddenly been cut off?"

Tang San looked crazed, his bloodshot eyes turning scarlet.

Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with confusion.

Tang San took a deep breath and said, "The connection between the Divine Realm and the Douluo Plane has been severed."

"What?"

Xiao Wu was greatly shocked. "How could the connection be severed?"

"If we hurry to restore it now, it may not be too late. I hope I am merely overthinking this. Hopefully, that new star will not slip out of my control."

Huo Yuhao suddenly sprang up from his "bed."

His entire body was covered in sweat. He panted heavily, feeling terribly uncomfortable.

"Huff... huff... Was it... that dream again?"

Huo Yuhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and calmed himself.

He had lost count of how many times he had had this dream.

The dream was about him fighting the legendary god of this world, Sea God Tang San.

Huo Yuhao knew exactly what he was worth. He was merely the child of a maid, not even a Soul Master himself.

Other than that, he was nothing.

Even if he was also the child of the noble Duke White Tiger.

Strands of sunlight streamed through the high window, bringing the room its only light.

"The sun is already up?"

Thinking of his plan, Huo Yuhao patted his face and took a rock-hard steamed bun from the stove beside him.

This was his breakfast.

"I missed the purple qi again..." Huo Yuhao muttered as he walked to the water bucket and faced the water, where his Blue Eyes reflected his face.

His Black Short Hair looked neat and sharp. His face did not look like one that a poor ordinary child could have been raised with; instead, it was exceptionally handsome.

All of this was thanks to his "fortuitous encounter."

Ever since his mother, Huo Yun'er, had died, he had often experienced bizarre dreams.

Among them was a special cultivation technique, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, which was better than the Meditation Method distributed by the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

There was also the Purple Demon Eyes, which could absorb East Purple Qi and strengthen Huo Yuhao's eyesight...

And many other things besides.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill, in particular, allowed Huo Yuhao to nourish his body with Soul Power amid his increasingly harsh life, preventing him from being dragged down by those cruel living conditions.

What Huo Yuhao regretted was that the Mysterious Heaven Skill had only appeared in his dreams after his mother Huo Yun'er passed away.

Otherwise, if he had passed this miraculous technique called the Mysterious Heaven Skill on to his mother, perhaps she would not have died because of those harsh living conditions.

Thinking of his deceased mother, Huo Yuhao could not help clenching his fists.

There were three great empires on Douluo Continent: the Heaven Dou Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and the Star Luo Empire.

The place where Huo Yuhao lived was the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, home to the Star Luo Empire's grand marshal.

The most esteemed person in the White Tiger Duke's Estate, Duke White Tiger Dai Hao, was Huo Yuhao's biological father.

Eleven years ago, while drunk, Duke White Tiger slept with his Personal Maid Huo Yun'er, and Huo Yuhao was born.

At first, Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao had their own small courtyard where they could live and recuperate.

But after Duke White Tiger left to wage war, the Duchess began suppressing Huo Yun'er as well. Using the excuse that Huo Yun'er suffered from a contagious and severe illness, she drove the mother and son to the wood shed behind the Servant Area and cut off all their financial support.

Years of hardship gradually broke down Huo Yun'er's already frail body. When Huo Yuhao was ten years old, she finally fell ill and never recovered, passing away quietly.

Over the years, it was not as though Duke White Tiger had never returned. Yet during his few visits, it was as if he had forgotten Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao entirely; he had never once asked about them.

After his mother died, Huo Yuhao made a plan.

Soul Master!

Only by becoming a Soul Master could he gain the power to take revenge!

Revenge against the Duchess, and against Duke White Tiger!

In the four years after awakening his martial soul, for some reason, all the Soul Power he cultivated disappeared like a Muddy Bull Enters the Sea, with only a small portion remaining.

It was only after he obtained the Mysterious Heaven Skill in his dreams that this phenomenon improved somewhat.

But when he first obtained the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it merely allowed Huo Yuhao to cultivate at the same speed as an ordinary person.

Then one day, he noticed changes in his body.

His once skin-and-bones appearance gradually became more spirited, and his feeble strength grew considerably.

This only made Huo Yuhao more determined to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

No matter what, it was a source of strength for his revenge.

"I'm already Level Ten. It's time to leave." Huo Yuhao scooped up water from the wooden bucket and quickly washed his face.

Then, he looked again at the water's surface as it gradually calmed.

In the reflection on the water, Huo Yuhao's left eye quietly changed from blue to gold. Mysterious symbols gathered within it, yet they were locked down by ten chain-like shadows.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao's left eye swiftly returned to blue.

The change in his left eye had not appeared after he began frequently having dreams, nor had it appeared after he awakened his martial soul. It had been with Huo Yuhao since birth.

It was simply that before awakening his martial soul, there had been twelve chain-like shadows.

After awakening his martial soul, one of them disappeared.

After the first time he dreamed of fighting Sea God Tang San, another one disappeared.

Huo Yuhao could not guess whether this change was good or bad, nor could he stop it.
