Auspicious Beast: This Is Destiny's Guidance
"Yuhao!"
Wang Dong tugged at Huo Yuhao's sleeve, his anxiety written in his brows, in his eyes, and on his slightly trembling lips.
Xuan Zi also looked at Huo Yuhao, his earthy yellow eyes filled with guilt.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
I never expected that this time, when I came out with them, I would encounter such a crisis again.
Moreover, he currently has no solution whatsoever, and is actually asking Huo Yuhao, a student, to "sacrifice" himself in exchange for a chance to survive.
Xuan Zi took a deep breath, his gaze hardening. "Yuhao, there's no need for this. If you're going to die, then so be it."
At worst, he would risk his life and Tiandou.
Even in death, one should die with dignity.
Huo Yuhao guessed what Xuan Zi was thinking, but he really didn't intend to sacrifice himself.
His expression remained calm, showing neither fear nor tragedy.
Although Huo Yuhao had never met Di Tian, he had heard Aunt Leng tell stories about Soul Beast ten thousand years later.
Ten thousand years later, the Star Dou Great Forest almost disappeared. Although it was said that the advancement of human Soul Tool Technology had overwhelmed the Soul Beast in terms of strength, the Soul Beast also trusted humans too much.
The Spirit Pagoda was originally established with good intentions, but later generations gradually changed their minds, and the Ferocious Beast that were originally partners were kicked out.
In Leng Yaozhu's words, sometimes Soul Beast are more trustworthy than humans.
Huo Yuhao looked at the three of them and said calmly, "Xuan Zi, Dean, Wang Dong, don't worry, Senior Di Tian has promised that he won't harm my life."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao looked at Di Tian and smiled, "I think Senior Di Tian, as the leader of the Soul Beast Clan, would not go back on his word."
Di Tian looked at Huo Yuhao, and he really couldn't understand where this boy got the courage to still be so playful in front of him.
However, he didn't want to actually kill Xuan Zi here and make an enemy of Shrek.
Shrek Academy has a long and rich history; if things really fall apart, it will benefit no one.
Therefore, he snorted and said, "My promise is naturally valid."
Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er both recalled the records from the academy about the Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although the Ferocious Beast are Soul Beast, they seem to have never broken any of their promises.
Especially Di Tian, as the Beast God and the leader of the Soul Beast Clan, his words and actions are enough to represent all the Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.
This powerful and proud being should indeed not break his promise.
Xuan Zi was still hesitant, his brows furrowed. He was really worried about letting a student face the Beast God.
If something goes wrong, how will he explain it to the academy? How will he explain it to Mu En?
At this moment, Xian Lin'er stepped forward.
"Senior Di Tian, we hope you will keep your promise, otherwise Shrek Academy will definitely demand an explanation."
Xian Lin'er also transmitted her voice to Xuan Zi and Wang Dong, saying, "This seems to be the best solution now. Although Di Tian is Soul Beast, since he said he wouldn't harm Yuhao, he should be trusted."
Xuan Zi nodded; this was the only way at the moment.
But Wang Dong was still hesitant; she bit her lip, her eyes filled with struggle.
She didn't want Huo Yuhao to go; she didn't want him to face the danger alone.
Xian Lin'er then transmitted her voice again. "If we stay here and are killed by Di Tian, do you think Yuhao will fight him to the death?"
Wang Dong's body trembled violently; she understood what Xian Lin'er meant.
She clenched her fists, then suddenly looked at Di Tian, her large, pinkish-blue eyes filled with stubbornness. "My Clear Sky Sect has Limit Douluo in charge. If Yuhao doesn't return to Shrek in five days, then my clan elders will have to come in person."
A hint of surprise flashed in both Xuan Zi's and Xian Lin'er's eyes.
They knew Wang Dong came from the Clear Sky Sect, but the Clear Sky Sect was a reclusive sect, and they never expected that there would be Limit Douluo within the sect.
Di Tian glanced at Wang Dong, a flicker of emotion flashing in his golden vertical pupils.
The Limit Douluo is certainly someone he should take seriously.
He then said, "Don't worry, he will leave Star Dou safely within five days."
Wang Dong took one last look at Huo Yuhao, his large, pinkish-blue eyes filled with a misty haze.
Her voice was slightly choked with emotion, tinged with reluctance and worry. "You must be careful. I'll be waiting for you at the academy."
After saying that, Wang Dong turned around and wiped her eyes, not wanting Huo Yuhao to see her crying.
She then followed Xuan Zi and Xian Lin'er away without looking back, her figure gradually disappearing into the shadows of the trees in the forest.
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the three leave.
His brows relaxed, and his tense body eased slightly.
At least, they are safe.
As for himself, he wasn't worried; he had trump cards and backup plans.
He looked at Di Tian again and calmly asked, "Senior Di Tian, where are we going next?"
Di Tian did not reply. He glanced at the Scarlet King: "Bring him to the Lake of Life."
As soon as he finished speaking, another spatial rift was torn open behind Di Tian.
He calmly stepped into it, his figure disappearing into the darkness. In the blink of an eye, the spatial rift closed, and Di Tian's figure vanished from sight.
The Scarlet King shook its three "dog heads," and its six eyes looked at Huo Yuhao with a complex expression.
It spoke, its voice deep and hoarse. "Kid, follow me!"
After saying that, the Scarlet King turned and ran deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao quickly followed, his steps light as he leaped between tree roots and bushes, staying close behind the Scarlet King.
"May I have your name?"
As they walked, a clear, melodious female voice rang out.
Huo Yuhao turned his head and glanced at the auspicious Auspicious Beast that was running alongside him.
A hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes. "My name is Huo Yuhao."
He then asked, "What's your name?"
They all call me Auspicious Beast.
The Auspicious Beast tilted its little head, its golden fur swaying slightly in the dappled light and shadow.
But a thoughtful look flashed in those two big eyes. "But I know this isn't a name. I also want to have a name of my own."
Previously, the Auspicious Beast had never had this idea.
But now, it really wants a name of its own.
The Auspicious Beast blinked its golden eyes at Huo Yuhao, tilting its little head as it asked, "Have we met before? You seem to know me."
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this; he had never seen Auspicious Beast before.
But in his heart, the other person was the most familiar stranger.
Those historical records from ten thousand years in the future, those yellowed pages, those ancient characters, and those love stories embellished by later generations...
All of this made him feel an inexplicable sense of closeness to this Auspicious Beast he was seeing for the first time.
Faced with this question about the Auspicious Beast, Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "This is the first time we've met."
"Snort!"
The Auspicious Beast snorted softly, turned its head away, and refused to look at Huo Yuhao again.
However, Huo Yuhao noticed that its third eye, which had been tightly closed on its forehead, slowly opened.
The Auspicious Beast's third eye is not gold like the other two, but red.
A surge of red light appeared within, Auspicious Beast looked at Huo Yuhao again, its gaze seemingly able to see through all illusions and understand all secrets.
Huo Yuhao didn't know what it had seen, but he noticed that the Auspicious Beast's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in its golden eyes.
Then, the Auspicious Beast's voice carried a hint of surprise. "You are indeed extraordinary, possessing such a rich Luck Power!"
Huo Yuhao did not reply; he remembered what Elder Jin, the Spirit of the Golden Tree, had said.
I am the Child of Destiny, bearing 50% of the destiny of the Douluo Continent over ten thousand years.
However, the fact that the other party didn't realize his ability to travel between two worlds made Huo Yuhao feel somewhat at ease.
After all, this was his biggest secret.
The Auspicious Beast then said, "Although I can't see it clearly, I'm certain you know me and are familiar with me."
"Because this is... an instruction from fate."
