Douluo: Fiery Chains of the Soul, Sealing the Gods

A black Soul Ring slowly floated up from its corpse, radiating an enticing glow.

Without hesitation, Su Han placed the Soul Ring around himself and began absorbing it with all his strength.

Once again, he faced immense pain.

Watching Su Han, Huo Wu could only place her hands over her chest and pray silently.

The moment Huo Ming saw Su Han, he became furious. He snapped, "Huo Wu, do you have any idea how worried your father was during the days you went missing? And yet you went and secretly pledged yourselves to each other with this brat!"

Huo Wu hurriedly explained, "Father, Brother Han was the one who saved me. That day, I encountered a Mirror Beast that was Over Twenty Thousand Years old. If it hadn't been for Brother Han, you would never have seen your daughter again."

Then, Huo Wu resolutely pulled Huo Ming aside and softly said, "Father, please use your Soul Power to isolate us."

Though Huo Ming was filled with doubts, he still did as she asked.

A strange light flickered in Huo Wu's eyes as she slowly began, "Father, when I encountered the Mirror Beast that day, I was nearly driven into a hopeless situation. Fortunately, Brother Han appeared and pulled me back from Death's grasp.

"The control he had over his martial soul was simply astounding.

"We fought fiercely for two days and two nights before accidentally falling into an ice cave.

"At that critical moment, Brother Han bravely killed that Spirit Beast.

"Both of us were seriously injured and fell unconscious. We had no idea how long passed before we slowly woke up."

"After waking up, Brother Han discovered that the Mirror Beast had left behind a precious Head Soul Bone.

"He generously gave it to me, saying it was my dowry.

"To repay him for saving my life and giving me the soul bone, I took the initiative to spend the night with him."

At this point, a shy blush spread across Huo Wu's face.

Hearing this, Huo Ming's mouth twitched slightly as he secretly thought, There are holes everywhere in this girl's story, but one thing is beyond doubt: that brat really did save her life, and he even handed over a priceless treasure of the Soul Master world.

Seeing how deeply in love his daughter was, it was clear that she had done so willingly. She had always been strong-willed and had extremely high standards. Yet that brat had managed to kill a Spirit Beast Over Twenty Thousand Years old by himself, so his strength was clearly extraordinary.

At such a young age, he had already broken through to the Soul King realm. He really was several times better than Young Master Feng.

However, Huo Ming still could not get past a certain hurdle. He snorted coldly. "Enough, Huo Wu. You must not reveal anything about the soul bone to anyone, not even your brother. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Father!" Huo Wu nodded obediently. "Then do you approve of Brother Han?"

Huo Ming's mouth twitched again as he inwardly sighed, This daughter is beyond saving!

Huo Ming said with a face full of jealousy, "That Blondie has already stolen your heart. Even if I tried to stop you, it would probably be useless."

Huo Wu coquettishly took Huo Ming's hand and said softly, "Father, you can't talk about Brother Han like that. He's your future son-in-law!"

At that moment, Huo Ming's heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness.

He had never expected that his beloved daughter would have her heart so easily stolen by some blond brat around her age.

Huo Ming felt as though a violent gale had swept through his heart, leaving it hollow, as though even his soul had been blown away.

He muttered to himself, "Just like that, my daughter got taken away."

Wu Tian smacked his lips, his face full of amazement. "I really didn't expect this brat to actually succeed. And his fourth Soul Ring is actually a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

Hao Te also sighed with emotion. "Perhaps this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people like us!

"My seventh Soul Ring is only twenty-three thousand years old."

Wu Tian nodded deeply in agreement.

His seventh Soul Ring had also been hunted with Hao Te's help, and it was likewise only Over Twenty Thousand Years old.

Huo Ming stared at Su Han, lost in thought.

This brat seemed to be even younger than his daughter, yet he had already entered the Soul King realm.

Even more unbelievable was that he had absorbed his second and fourth Soul Rings beyond his level.

He was truly a genius among geniuses.

At that thought, Huo Ming secretly pondered, With this brat's talent, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it may not be impossible for him to become a Super Titled Douluo in the future.

Looking at it this way, perhaps his daughter marrying him really was the best choice.

After a long night of waiting, Su Han finally succeeded in absorbing the Soul Ring.

A joyful expression appeared on Hao Te's face as he loudly announced, "Little Han, you're now the youngest Soul King on the Douluo Continent!"

Wu Tian also intended to build a good relationship with Su Han. This brat had limitless potential, and his future achievements would be immeasurable.

He walked up to Su Han and said sincerely, "Su Han, congratulations! I really didn't expect you to do it."

Su Han replied modestly, "Thank you all for your tremendous help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to hunt such a rare Soul Ring."

Huo Wu eagerly grabbed Su Han's hand and asked excitedly, "Brother Han, what level are you now?"

Su Han smiled. "Ah Wu, you'll have to work hard too. I'm already level 53." As he spoke, he gently pinched Huo Wu's cheek.

Seeing this, Huo Ming could not help coughing twice. He said with slight reproach, "Brat, do you think I'm not here?"

Only then did Su Han snap back to his senses and quickly withdraw his hand.

Hao Te and Wu Tian watched the scene with great interest, secretly thinking, This brat went missing for one trip and even found himself a wife.

Su Han awkwardly walked up to Huo Ming and said sincerely, "Uncle, thank you for helping me this time. I'm deeply grateful."

Huo Ming merely snorted. "Don't thank me. If it weren't for Huo Wu, I wouldn't have helped you, brat."

Huo Wu stomped her foot and pouted, "Father, Brother Han is your future son-in-law. Isn't it only natural for you to help him hunt a Soul Ring?"

Su Han and Huo Ming's mouths both twitched.

Huo Wu blinked her large eyes, took Su Han's hand, and coquettishly said, "Brother Han, will you help me hunt my fourth Soul Ring?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Han nodded. "All right, little girl."

Then he turned to Hao Te and Wu Tian. "Brother Hao Te, Captain Wu Tian, you should head back first.

"I still have some matters to handle here. I've truly troubled you both this time."

As he spoke, Su Han took out two precious Thousand Year Blood Dragon Ginseng plants and said earnestly, "Xiao Wu and I found these medicinal herbs in that ice cave. Please don't refuse."

Hao Te and Wu Tian stared at the Thousand Year Blood Dragon Ginseng before them, their eyes gleaming.

These were precious medicinal treasures rarely seen in a thousand years. To Soul Masters, they were simply priceless.

Wu Tian declined politely, "How could we possibly accept this?"

But Su Han insisted, "You two old brothers should accept them!" After some persuasion, the two men held the Blood Dragon Ginseng in their hands, trembling with excitement.

Huo Wu naturally knew that the Blood Dragon Ginseng had not come from the ice cave, but she did not expose this well-intentioned lie.

Seeing this, Hao Te said, "Little Han, then go hunt the Soul Ring! We'll head back first."

Su Han nodded. "All right."

Huo Ming stared greedily at the two Blood Dragon Ginseng plants. He was already over fifty and had been stuck at level 79 Soul Saint for years, never able to step into the Soul Douluo realm.

With the help of such a precious medicine, he might have a chance to break through the bottleneck and become the Soul Douluo he had always dreamed of becoming.

Yet on the surface, he pretended to be disdainful, thinking bitterly that his foolish daughter did not even know to bring one back for her father. She had a man now and had forgotten her old dad.

After Hao Te and Wu Tian left, Su Han awkwardly walked up to Huo Ming and said, "Uncle, Ah Wu and I found five Blood Dragon Ginseng plants in total. This last one is for you."

Huo Ming pretended to be lofty. "Would I take something from a junior like you?

"Take it back yourself!" Yet his gaze never left that precious medicinal treasure.

Huo Wu said, "Father, Brother Han means well. This last medicinal herb is for you, so just accept it."

After coughing lightly twice, Huo Ming slowly said, "Brat, for Huo Wu's sake, I'll reluctantly accept it.

"You'd better behave yourself."

Su Han secretly complained, This old man is really good at putting on an act. His eyes are practically glued to it. Should I get you an Oscar while I'm at it?

But on the surface, Su Han still respectfully answered, "Yes, Uncle. I'll treat Huo Wu well."

Huo Wu asked curiously, "Brother Han, what exactly is your fifth soul skill?"

After accepting the medicinal herb, Huo Ming had intended to return home and enter seclusion to cultivate, striving to break through to the Soul Douluo realm in one go.

Hearing his daughter's question, he too looked curiously at Su Han.

Su Han smiled and said, "My fifth soul skill is called Flame Domain Otherworld.

"Within the space formed by my Fiery Chains of the Soul, enemies will be separated. Each person will be sealed within an independent space, their five senses and six perceptions blocked, while all their attributes are weakened by thirty percent.

"They will also be crushed by five times the normal gravity of the space, unable to break free as though trapped in a swamp.

"The flames will form a fire domain, dealing one hundred percent burning damage to them.

"And I can freely teleport and move within the space of this soul skill."
