You want me to get a spirit ring? Reverse the Heavenly Dipper?

The air was filled with an uncanny silence. Beibei and Tang Ya felt their worldviews had been impacted just a little.

The three of them looked exactly alike, yet their temperaments were vastly different. Were they not the "Three Brothers Who Jumped into the River"?

The blond youth was the first to break the silence, his voice steady and magnetic. "My name is Huo Hao."

The black-haired youth let out a scoff, his purple eyes glinting with amusement. "Huo Yu, heh, how interesting..."

Only the blue-haired Huo Yuhao remained. He cautiously glanced at the two beside him, then weakly opened his mouth, "I... my name is Huo Yuhao."

Three names, three identical faces, six eyes met in the air. A feeling of deep connection, as if from the very soul and blood, quietly arose in their hearts.

They didn't know why the others had appeared, but they knew there was an inseparable bond between them.

"Wh-what is going on?"

Tang Ya's mind had completely crashed. She looked to Beibei for help, hoping he could provide a reasonable explanation.

However, Beibei's expression wasn't much better. He frowned deeply; the scene before him was completely beyond his understanding. What Soul Skill could turn one person into three, with each appearing to be an independent individual?

And what about that strange guy, who was he? After creating three people, he had left without a word?

Just then, Huo Hao, who carried the demeanor of an elder brother, spoke. He stood up, his gaze sweeping over Huo Yu and Huo Yuhao, and said solemnly, "We don't know why we were born, but fate has brought us together here. The feeling of blood connection cannot be wrong. From now on, we are three brothers with one heart!"

He extended his hand, looking at the other two, his tone firm. "I am the eldest brother, Huo Hao. You are the second brother, Huo Yu. You are the third brother, Huo Yuhao. We three brothers shall forge a path together on this continent!"

A playful smile appeared on Huo Yu's face. He reached out and clasped Huo Hao's hand. "Sounds much more interesting than being alone."

Huo Yuhao looked at the scene before him, his eyes instantly turning red. Growing up, he had been bullied relentlessly and had never experienced brotherly affection.

And now, he suddenly had two older brothers who seemed incredibly reliable, and their words were filled with sincerity. A great warmth surged into his heart, and he could no longer hold back, his voice choked with sobs as he placed his hand on top of theirs. "Big Brother! Second Brother!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

River God Lin Feng excitedly clenched his fists underwater. The deviation on his system panel was soaring wildly.

"If Tang San wanted to scheme against Huo Yuhao, one daughter wouldn't be enough, haha. Should I send Xiao Wu and himself, after they've changed gender, down here too for a 'Universe Questioning'?"

"Three little brothers!"

Tang Ya quickly stepped forward, her face beaming with the most sincere and enthusiastic smile. "I am Tang Ya, the Sect Master of the Tang Sect. This is my eldest disciple, Beibei. I see the deep brotherhood between you three and your lofty ambitions. I wonder... are you interested in joining our Tang Sect?"

She began to paint a picture. "Although our Tang Sect has few members now, it was once the number one sect on the continent! As long as we work together, restoring the Tang Sect's glory is within reach! You three brothers can become the cornerstone of our Tang Sect's revival!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a hint of interest upon hearing this.

The Tang Sect! The name resounded in his ears like thunder. It was a legendary sect. Even though it had fallen into decline, joining such a place seemed like an excellent destination.

However, Beibei subtly tugged on Tang Ya's sleeve and whispered, "Teacher Xiao Ya, this matter requires careful consideration. The origins of these three are too bizarre, and their character is yet unknown. We cannot easily..."

Before he could finish, Huo Hao interrupted him.

Huo Hao nodded slightly at Tang Ya, his attitude polite. "Thank you for your kind offer, Sect Master Tang Ya. However, we three brothers prefer freedom and wish to explore this world using our own strength. We do not wish to join any sect for the time being."

His words were sonorous and carried a natural kingly demeanor that made it impossible to refute.

The flicker of longing that had just ignited in Huo Yuhao's heart was instantly overshadowed by his eldest brother's decision. He thought for a moment, and his eldest brother was right. Rather than being under someone else's roof, it seemed more exhilarating for the three brothers to venture out together! He immediately solidified his stance and stood behind Huo Hao.

Huo Yu yawned lazily, as if completely uninterested in the Tang Sect.

Tang Ya's smile froze, and her heart was filled with regret. She wanted to try again, but seeing Huo Hao's determined gaze, she knew further persuasion would be futile. She could only sigh, "Alright, everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force you. Then... what are your plans next?"

"We three brothers do not yet have Soul Rings, so we plan to obtain Soul Rings and become true Soul Masters."

Huo Hao stated frankly.

"Obtain Soul Rings?"

Tang Ya's eyes lit up again.

"That's perfect! Beibei and I are also here to obtain my third Soul Ring. We can go together; it will be good to have someone to look out for on the way!"

However, Huo Hao shook his head again and said something that almost turned Beibei and Tang Ya to stone.

"No."

Huo Hao looked at Tang Ya with gentle and sincere eyes. "It should be us three brothers who first assist Sect Master Tang Ya in obtaining her Soul Ring."

Tang Ya: "Ah?"

Beibei: "Hmm?"

The two were completely bewildered. What kind of operation was this? A reversal of roles? Two Soul Masters like them needed help from three ordinary people who didn't even have Soul Rings?

Huo Hao seemed to see through their confusion and calmly explained, "If Sect Master Tang Ya had not made an honest choice today, we three brothers would not be here to form our bond. This kindness should be repaid by us first. Please give us an opportunity to reciprocate."

His words were well-reasoned and heartfelt, leaving Tang Ya and Beibei momentarily at a loss for how to refuse.

Beibei took a deep breath. He still felt this was too absurd and frowned. "Little Brother Huo Hao, we appreciate your intentions, but hunting Soul Beasts is no trivial matter. You haven't obtained Soul Rings yet and have no Soul Skills, how can you..."

"Who says we can't help just because we don't have Soul Skills?"

Huo Hao smiled calmly. He slowly raised his head, and his golden eyes instantly blazed with light! A strange phantom of a vertical pupil, seemingly composed of countless golden light patterns, flashed across his forehead.

"My Martial Soul is named 'Eye of Sanction'."

An invisible pressure spread out. Beibei and Tang Ya's hearts tightened. They heard Huo Hao continue, "Even without a Soul Ring, my Eye of Sanction can unleash a brief gaze, enough to put any enemy into an absolute state of paralysis for 0.5 seconds."

0.5 seconds!

Beibei's pupils constricted. For ordinary people, 0.5 seconds is merely the blink of an eye, but in a Soul Master's battle, this absolute restraint of 0.5 seconds is enough to change the course of the fight, even decide life and death! This... this is simply a divine skill!

Huo Yuhao looked at his eldest brother's radiant appearance, then thought of his own Spiritual Eye Martial Soul, which besides seeing farther and clearer, seemed to possess no combat power. A sense of envy and inferiority welled up within him, and he silently lowered his head.

Huo Hao keenly sensed the change in his third brother's emotions. He turned around, placed a hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and said gently, "Third brother, there's no need to be discouraged. Our Martial Souls are body-type Martial Souls with the chance to awaken. Even if your Innate Soul Power is insufficient, you can supplement the Soul Power deficiencies through various Immortal Herbs and Precious Medicines."

His words were like a sudden enlightenment, instantly dispelling the gloom in Huo Yuhao's heart. He nodded vigorously, confidence reignited in his eyes, "Yes, eldest brother!"

With Huo Hao's god-tier "Eye of Sanction" as their trump card, coupled with Huo Yu's phantom-like movement technique and precise grasp of timing, Tang Ya's acquisition of her third Soul Ring proceeded with unbelievable smoothness.

"Little brother Huo Hao, we really have you to thank for this. Next, let us help you acquire your Soul Rings!"

Beibei said sincerely. His impression of these three brothers had completely changed. Especially if Huo Hao could join Shrek Academy, he would undoubtedly become one of Shrek Academy's future rising stars.

"There's no need."

Huo Hao politely declined again.

"True trials require us to strive with our own hands. Our brothers' journey has only just begun."

Their attitude was incredibly resolute. Beibei and Tang Ya knew they couldn't force them to stay and could only express their regret. The two parties then parted ways on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Watching Tang Ya and Beibei depart, Huo Hao turned around and looked at the vast, boundless forest, full of high spirits.

The three brothers walked side-by-side into the depths of the dense forest, their figures quickly swallowed by the lush foliage.

They didn't know how long they had walked when suddenly, voices of exhaustion and ecstasy, without any warning, boomed within the spiritual sea of the three of them:

"A million years... Finally, finally, this Heavenly Silkworm has found a host with a spiritual attribute! Huh? Why are there three all of a sudden?"
