Double Cheat, What is a Child of Destiny

The opening scene alone—a million-year soul beast eagerly offering itself as his first soul ring, and not just any ring but a Spirit Attribute Million-Year Soul Ring perfectly suited to him—who could possibly compare?

He was practically the Child of Destiny. Even the bards and novelists who spin tales across the continent wouldn't dare write something this absurd in their fantasy stories.

Because readers would curse the author for coming up with brain-dead, thoughtless garbage.

Yet just when everyone thought that was the end of it, new changes suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Screen.

[As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm poured everything it had into Huo Yuhao, a Thunderous Boom erupted without warning. The clear sky from moments before abruptly darkened, a deep shadow emerging from midair, blotting out even the sun's radiance.

Startled by the thunderclap, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shuddered, its Small Eyes rolling upward in shock and confusion.

Then it saw a Gray Airflow descend from the sky, landing in the blink of an eye on the back of Huo Yuhao's head.

"What the hell dares to snatch someone from Brother?!" In Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's fury, its vast Spiritual Power surged like a roaring tidal wave, trying to obliterate the Gray Airflow.

Next Moment, the Gray Airflow coalesced into a Blurry Figure, manifesting behind Huo Yuhao.

An Aged Voice rang out with an indescribable majesty: "I hold the sun and moon, pluck the stars—no one in this world is like me. I never thought this Old Man would still have a trace of a Remnant Soul left to linger."

After reciting his entrance line as if to himself, the Blurry Figure ignored Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's overwhelming spiritual attack, turning back into a stream of air that drilled into Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Di Tian, you bastard—playing dirty with Brother, huh?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm muttered in fury and helplessness: "Brother finally found a human with a Spirit Attribute, and some Old Ghost has to come snatch him away. Why is Brother's luck so rotten..."

"But no matter what, Brother is finally free! You bastards who treated me like Reserve Food won't get your chance!"

With one last sly, mocking laugh, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body vanished completely, merging into Huo Yuhao. The remaining Silkworm Cocoon shrank on its own, turning into a white light that slipped into Huo Yuhao's clothes.

Even the Big Hole in the ground where Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had emerged disappeared without a sound.

As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power faded, the forest, once wrapped in Utter Silence, came alive again.

Beneath Huo Yuhao, a faint white ring silently surfaced, then gradually faded from view.

Soon, Tang Ya and Bei Bei rushed over from a distance, finding the slain Wind Baboon and the unconscious Huo Yuhao.

After inspecting the scene, Bei Bei frowned. "This Wind Baboon was just killed, but its soul ring is already gone. Yuhao must have absorbed it. Something might have gone wrong, and he passed out."

"But judging by its size, this Wind Baboon should only be a Ten-Year Soul Beast, right? Normally, absorbing a ring of that age should be simple." Tang Ya looked anxious.]

In the Heavenly Screen, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were heart-wrenching over Huo Yuhao's safety, while in reality, countless discussions about his condition were underway.

Most people were curious: after obtaining a Million-Year Soul Ring, what would Huo Yuhao's Soul Skill be? How powerful would it be?

Many others debated who that sudden Blurry Figure was. Could it be some powerful Evil Soul Master?

After all, when that figure appeared, it brought darkness and a Remnant Soul—its Aura and spectacle didn't look like a Protagonist at all.

The thought of such an entity burrowing into someone's mind was terrifying just to imagine.

Of course, aside from these two groups, some people, watching Huo Yuhao's soul ring after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Sacrifice, couldn't help joking:

"We know a Ten-Year Soul Beast's soul ring is white, and a Million-Year Soul Beast's soul ring is also white. So a ten-year ring equals a million-year ring!"

"My son Wang Teng's first soul ring is white, and Huo Yuhao's first soul ring is white. So my son equals Huo Yuhao! And since Huo Yuhao can Become God, my son Wang Teng has the potential to Become God too!"

Of course, someone inevitably had to chime in with a rebuttal: "Can your son's white soul ring compare to Huo Yuhao's white soul ring? Gold is yellow, and shit is also yellow. Obviously, Huo Yuhao is the gold."

"You dare call my son shit? If I don't beat the shit out of you today, consider yourself lucky I didn't!"

"I never said your son was shit. I only said Huo Yuhao was gold. You're the one who took it personally!"

As people across the continent were Discussing Vigorously, the Heavenly Screen showed Tang Ya inviting Huo Yuhao to join the Tang Sect, followed by the three of them teaming up to find a suitable soul beast for Tang Ya's Soul Hunting.

In the end, Tang Ya and Bei Bei convinced Huo Yuhao to head to Shrek Academy first for registration, using the upcoming deadline as leverage, and then ask for leave to pick up his mother afterward.

Seeing this, the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Sun Moon Empire, and even the Great Powers all cursed inwardly. Only the people of Shrek Academy and the Spiritual Shrek People beamed with joy.

Xuan Zi, flying on his Rank 8 Flying Soul Tool toward Star Luo City in the Star Luo Empire, laughed as he soared.

"Haha, I haven't paid much attention to that little girl from the Tang Sect, but Bei Bei is indeed a third-year student. The scene in the Heavenly Screen matches the present. It seems this destined little god is already in Shrek's pocket..."

Knowing Huo Yuhao wasn't at the White Tiger Duke Mansion, Xuan Zi had considered turning back to Shrek.

But after thinking it over, since he'd already come this far, turning back empty-handed would mean all that travel was for nothing.

Why not drop by the White Tiger Duke Mansion, grab that White Tiger Duchess, and offer her as a welcome gift to the little guy?

As for whether this would strain relations between the mansion and Shrek Academy?

Shrek's ties were with the White Tiger Dai Family and the Spirit Cat Zhu Family. The White Tiger Duchess wasn't a Dai or a Zhu.

Besides, ten thousand years had passed. Even if she were from those families, so what? The Tang Sect was founded by Sea God Tang San himself.

The Tang Sect had decayed into that pathetic state, wiped out, with their murderous Enemy still swaggering around alive and well. Who ever stepped in to help?

In the final analysis, it all came down to value and interests.

As long as Huo Yuhao could secure another ten thousand years of glory for Shrek Academy, offending a mere White Tiger Duke Mansion was nothing.

Even if Tang San himself tried to harm Huo Yuhao, Xuan Zi would risk his life to slap the Sea God across the face.
