Douluo: Fiery Chains of the Soul, Sealing the Gods — Section 26

And the Tiandou Imperial Family has the second team led by me.

However, you must not reveal this information to anyone."

Huo Wu's eyes widened as she stared at Su Han in disbelief.

Su Han gently scraped her nose and smiled. "Why would I lie to you? This matter is of great importance, so you must keep it strictly confidential."

Huo Wu parted her red lips and asked softly, "Brother Han, how long do you plan to stay in this training ground?"

Su Han smiled warmly and replied, "Hehe, don't worry, little girl. I'll definitely make time to visit your Blazing Academy and see you."

Anticipation instantly blossomed across Huo Wu's face. Full of longing, she said, "Then, Brother Han, you have to come to our Blazing Academy once every month."

Su Han nodded with a smile. "All right, let's set off now! Otherwise, our friends outside will start getting anxious."

Huo Wu swayed gently, speaking with a touch of reluctance. "Brother Han, let's leave tomorrow! Once we part, it may be several months before we can meet again."

With that, Huo Wu pounced on Su Han like a hungry cheetah, pressing him beneath her...

Meanwhile, Huo Ming, Hao Te, and Wu Tian had been searching for them for eight full days, yet there was still no news.

Wu Tian furrowed his brows and said gravely, "Gentlemen, I can accompany you for two more days at most. If we still can't find them, I'll have to leave this place."

Huo Ming and Hao Te exchanged a glance and silently nodded.

Huo Ming's heart was filled with anxiety and unease.

That was his beloved daughter!

Now, her fate was unknown. He had no idea what to do, much less how he would face his late wife's spirit in heaven.

Hao Te's feelings were equally complicated. For more than two years, the four of them had gotten along harmoniously as a team.

And Su Han was an exceptional genius, one who appeared only once in a century. Hao Te truly could not bear to see such a talent perish within the Frozen Forest.

Early the next morning, sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting mottled shadows.

Su Han held Huo Wu tightly as they soared up from the bottom of the cave, like an immortal couple.

He asked softly, "Ah Wu, what kind of soul beast are you planning to hunt for your fourth soul ring?"

Huo Wu smiled faintly and replied, "Brother Han, I need to hunt a Crimson Python for my fourth soul ring. That kind of soul beast is fairly common in the Frozen Forest."

Su Han nodded. "Then let's look around."

The two searched through the Frozen Forest for an entire day, but they never found any trace of a Crimson Python.

So, they prepared to find a place to set up camp.

Just then, they spotted a fire burning in the distance.

They were already far from the outskirts of the Frozen Forest.

Su Han knew full well that lighting a fire here was no easy matter.

Anyone capable of making a fire in such a place was at least a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse.

Therefore, he had no intention of approaching. This place was filled with unknown dangers.

Huo Wu saw Su Han's concerns and said softly, "Brother Han, let's go somewhere else."

Just as they were about to turn around and leave, a rare Void Beast suddenly appeared before them.

This Void Beast's cultivation was already close to forty thousand years, making Su Han's heart tighten abruptly.

Su Han swiftly grabbed Huo Wu and used the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's skill to fly straight toward the fire.

At the same time, Hao Te, Wu Tian, and Huo Ming sensed the aura of a powerful soul beast nearby and immediately became alert.

When Su Han finally saw the people sitting beside the fire, he immediately shouted, "Brother Hao Te, come save us!"

Hao Te and Wu Tian could hardly believe their ears. They had actually heard Su Han's voice.

Huo Ming was also stunned, but then a flash of delight appeared in his eyes.

Hao Te said urgently, "Old Wu, Little Han is up ahead. Hurry, follow me!"

With that, he quickly rushed toward Su Han.

Huo Ming followed close behind, wanting to see what was going on.

Just as the Void Beast's paw was about to strike Huo Wu and Su Han, Huo Ming stepped forward and shielded them.

Seeing this, Hao Te and Wu Tian both joined the battle, unleashing their respective soul skills.

Huo Wu shouted happily, "Dad!"

Su Han froze for a moment before suddenly realizing. "So he's my father-in-law! No wonder he risked his life to take that soul beast's attack head-on."

Huo Ming glared furiously at Su Han, making him feel rather awkward.

He hurriedly said, "Brother Hao Te, Captain Wu, this is the Void Beast. I want to use this soul beast as my soul ring."

Wu Tian said in astonishment, "Kid, are you crazy? This soul beast has a cultivation of thirty-seven thousand years."

Su Han said firmly, "Captain Wu, please lend me your assistance. Brother Hao Te is still struggling to hold on. Captain Wu, please help me."

Seeing this, Huo Wu immediately grabbed Huo Ming's hand and pleaded coquettishly, "Dad, hurry and help Brother Han hunt this soul beast."

When Huo Ming heard his daughter address Su Han so intimately, the anger in his heart grew even stronger.

Seeing the slightly exhausted yet blissful expression on his daughter's face, along with the way she walked, it was obvious that this brat had thoroughly "used her up."

Seeing her father's dark expression, Huo Wu quickly said, "Dad, if you dare hit Brother Han, I'll run away from home and never come back!"

Su Han said awkwardly, "Um... Uncle Huo, Ah Wu and I have already pledged ourselves to each other. If you want to settle things with me, please don't do it now. How about waiting until I deal with this soul beast?"

Huo Ming sneered disdainfully. "Kid, just you? Hmph, I'll give you this chance for now. Fine, I'll wait, so no one can accuse me of bullying the young."

Su Han did not care in the slightest. He secretly thought, Once I obtain my fifth soul ring, who knows who will be teaching whom a lesson!

In an instant, he released his martial soul. His soul ring configuration of one yellow, two purple, and one black shone brilliantly.

Huo Ming's eyes widened as he stared at Su Han, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Huo Wu shouted anxiously, "Dad, hurry and help! Otherwise, it'll be very difficult for Brother Han and the others to successfully hunt it!"

Looking at Su Han's astonishing soul ring configuration, countless thoughts ran through Huo Ming's mind.

Then, seeing that his own precious little cotton-padded jacket had now become "leaky," he let out a helpless sigh.

"Ah, I raised you for nothing."

Without hesitation, Su Han unleashed his fourth soul skill, instantly trapping the Void Beast within an invisible cage.

Both Huo Ming and Wu Tian were astonished. No wonder Su Han dared to set his sights on a thirty-thousand-year soul beast.

However, Su Han's soul skill seemed to have little effect on the Void Beast. Instead, it enraged the creature, making it even more ferocious.

Huo Ming shouted, "Brat, get out of the way! Protect my daughter. You're not needed here!"

Su Han did not dare delay. This was no time for jokes; his father-in-law had spoken, and besides, his wife had no one protecting her.

Su Han swiftly withdrew from the battlefield and ran over to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu anxiously took Su Han's hand and asked with concern, "Brother Han, are you all right?"

Su Han smiled and shook his head. "Ah Wu, I'm fine. I just don't know how Uncle Huo and the others are doing."

Holding hands, the two could only watch the battle anxiously and wait for the outcome.

If this thirty-seven-thousand-year soul beast wanted to flee, they would not be able to keep it easily.

Hao Te, Wu Tian, and Huo Ming pursued it with all their strength, determined to take it down.

The battle lasted five days and five nights. All three were covered in wounds, while the Void Beast was already on its last breath.

Hao Te shouted between gasps, "Little Han, kill it quickly and absorb the soul ring!"

Wu Tian sat on the ground, doing his best to recover his Soul Power.

Su Han took a deep breath and released his martial soul once more.

The chains darted out like spirit serpents, piercing straight through the Void Beast's heart.
