But since it had given him a measure of strength for revenge, no matter what it was, he was already prepared to accept it.

Deep down, Huo Yuhao vaguely felt that the changes in his left eye were absolutely a good thing for him.

He slapped his face again, forcing himself to stop overthinking, then began packing his things.

After his mother died, he had set himself a goal.

He had to become a Soul Master, the most powerful Soul Master.

The White Tiger Duke's Estate would not find and hunt a Soul Beast for him, so he could only search alone.

He needed a soul ring, even if it was not of the Spirit Attribute, even if it was only the lowest-grade Ten-Year Soul Ring.

Bright Sunshine spilled across the palace-like buildings, and the Golden Glazed Tiles gleamed with dazzling light.

From afar, mist seemed to shroud the place. Golden roofs and red gates made for a magnificent sight.

This was the White Tiger Duke's Estate, a residence built independently outside Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

At that moment, the back gate on the northern side of the Duke's Mansion quietly opened, and a figure slipped outside.

With Black Short Hair and Blue Eyes, it was Huo Yuhao, who planned to leave the White Tiger Duke's Estate to hunt Soul Beasts.

Gently closing the back gate behind him, Huo Yuhao faced the noon sun and headed north along the broad official road.

Inside the backpack on Huo Yuhao's back were all the things he had prepared for this journey.

A few changes of clothes, some dry rations, a little money that his mother Huo Yun'er and he had saved over the years by doing menial work in the estate, a short knife, and a simple Continent Map.

Both the Duke's Mansion and Star Luo City lay in the north-central region of the Star Luo Empire. The place Huo Yuhao had chosen to hunt Soul Beasts was the Star Dou Great Forest, farther north, bordering the Heaven Dou Empire.

This forest covered an area at least as large as a province and was home to countless kinds of Soul Beasts, including some exceptionally powerful ones.

Of course, it was also the only place Huo Yuhao currently had any chance of finding a Spirit-Type Soul Beast.

Even if he did not care about age or attribute, Huo Yuhao still hoped to obtain a better soul ring.

Huo Yuhao did not have much money, so he spent it extremely sparingly. Sometimes, he even skipped his dry rations and used what he knew to find Wild Fruits and Vegetables in the roadside woods to fill his stomach.

After several days, relying on the simple map he had brought, Huo Yuhao finally drew close to his destination through this difficult journey.

The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After arriving here, the sense of familiarity in Huo Yuhao's heart grew stronger and stronger, as though he had once come here like this before.

But no matter how hard he thought, he could not remember the details. He only felt that he had to hurry somewhere, so after resting briefly and eating some dry rations, he continued onward.

Huo Yuhao did not know that this unconscious action had caused him to avoid the two people he should have met.

"Fifty li ahead, you will enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul Beasts may appear. Watch your safety."

Seeing the words on the Wooden Sign before him, Huo Yuhao secretly rejoiced.

The Star Dou Great Forest was here. He was one step closer to becoming a Soul Master!

Touching the White Tiger Dagger hanging at his lower back, Huo Yuhao strode forward with firm steps.

At this moment, the Star Dou Great Forest was filled with a grave atmosphere, like a beast that chose its prey and devoured every life that entered it.

At this point, Huo Yuhao was no longer so nervous.

He could not explain what he was feeling. He simply felt as though there was always a voice deep inside telling him, That's right. Just keep walking forward.

As long as he kept moving forward, he would gain the power of revenge he had dreamed of and be able to control the entire world as he pleased.

If he ignored that voice, he would lose everything in the end. This emotion gradually boiled within Huo Yuhao, making him follow the voice deep in his heart and walk forward step by step.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao swiftly drew the White Tiger Dagger from behind his waist with his right hand and slashed fiercely to the right, while his body dodged left.

After that series of movements, a black figure came to an abrupt halt where Huo Yuhao had just been standing.

It was a baboon about a meter tall, covered in Brownish-Yellow Fur. Its arms were extraordinarily long, its claws bore sharp nails, Canine Teeth protruded from its lips, and its Brown Eyes were filled with ferocity.

At that moment, a bloody line marked its abdomen, blood gushing continuously from it.

Before the baboon could continue its attack, Huo Yuhao raised the White Tiger Dagger, stamped his foot, and approached it with strange footwork, slashing at its head.

Huo Yuhao put tremendous force into the strike, directly beheading the baboon. Even in death, its eyes still shone with viciousness!

A faint White Light appeared on the baboon's body, gradually gathering into a White Halo above it.

The halo was indistinct, and its light flickered in and out, but it left Huo Yuhao somewhat dazed.

Was this a soul ring?

He... had killed a Soul Beast that easily?

At the instant danger struck, his body—or rather, his spirit—had taken the initiative to drive his body into action, completing the counterattack in an extremely short time.

Was this really something he could do?

Yes, this was his power. The voice deep in his heart said, Hurry and break the seal. Grow stronger, and do not trust anyone.

I know every means of becoming stronger. Obtain that power as soon as possible.

Huo Yuhao took a step forward. Though he should have absorbed this Ten-Year Soul Ring and become a Soul Master, he passed it by and continued onward.

Vaguely, he felt that he seemed to have remembered something. What was it?

"Yuhao, I... want to return to being my true self."

Who was that? Who had said those words to him?

"Dai Yuhao, my father and I thought so highly of you, yet you intended to rebel!"

And who was that?

"God of Emotions! Your mother, Huo Yun'er, is still waiting for you to return. Do not make a mistake!"

God of Emotions... who was that?

A string of voices echoed through his mind, giving Huo Yuhao an unbearable headache.

Just then, another voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"I finally encountered a human with the Spirit Attribute. This has been so difficult for me..."

Unlike the other fragmented voices that came and went, this voice sounded directly in Huo Yuhao's mind with exceptional clarity.

And when this voice appeared, all the previous voices in Huo Yuhao's mind vanished.

The ground beneath him suddenly trembled without warning. Two meters in front of Huo Yuhao, cracks began to spread across the ground, gradually widening into fissures.
