Recruiting Huo Yuhao (Please Bookmark, Recommend, and Vote!)

"My... my name is Huo Yuhao."

Sneaking a glance at Tang Ya, who was wolfing down her food, Huo Yuhao answered quietly.

"I am Xu Tianming."

Xu Tianming also cupped his hands slightly toward Beibei.

As for this descendant of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, one of the only three Limit Douluo in the world, who had inherited the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, Xu Tianming had no particular opinion of him.

Just a lovesick fool, that was all.

Beibei's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze merely swept over Huo Yuhao before settling on Xu Tianming.

Although Xu was the royal surname of the Sun Moon Empire, it was not uncommon among the Three Douluo Kingdoms.

For example, his friend Xu Sanshi also bore the surname Xu.

So for the moment, he did not connect Xu Tianming to the Sun Moon Empire.

"Are you two here in the Star Dou Forest to hunt Soul Rings as well?"

Taking a grilled fish from Huo Yuhao, Beibei thanked him before asking curiously.

"Mm."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, then took another grilled fish from beside the fire and handed it to Xu Tianming.

"Thank you, Brother Huo."

Xu Tianming smiled at Huo Yuhao before turning to Beibei.

"I'm here to hunt Soul Rings too."

With that, his gaze fell upon the grilled fish in his hand.

He had to admit, Huo Yuhao really knew what he was doing when it came to grilling fish.

Though it could not compare to the grilled fish from his previous life, seasoned with all manner of spices, it was still an exceptional delicacy in the culinary wasteland that was Douluo.

"How could such delicious grilled fish go without fine wine?"

A flash of light passed over the ring-shaped Storage Soul Guidance Device on Xu Tianming's finger, and a wine gourd appeared in his hand.

When he removed the stopper, a crisp fragrance of wine tinged with sweetness immediately wafted through the air.

"Th-this isn't appropriate, is it?"

The scent was enticing, but Beibei had some experience traveling outside. After swallowing hard, he still shook his head in refusal.

Toward Xu Tianming, who gave him an intensely dangerous feeling, he maintained his basic vigilance.

"Such fragrant wine—if you won't drink it, Beibei, then I will!"

Shooting Beibei a glare, Tang Ya, who was feeling rather thirsty, immediately fixed her beautiful eyes on the gourd in Xu Tianming's hand.

Xu Tianming did not waste words. He took out three more wine cups from his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

After filling the cups, Xu Tianming gave a slight wave of his hand.

Pure spiritual power surged from between his brows, controlling the wine cups as they hovered before Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya.

"What incredible Soul Power control."

Beibei and Tang Ya exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

With their three-ring and two-ring strength, they naturally could not tell that Xu Tianming was controlling the cups with spiritual power. They only thought it was a method of projecting Soul Power outward.

Even if it was merely a Soul Power control technique, someone Xu Tianming's age who could achieve such a level was rare even at Shrek Academy.

"So amazing."

Huo Yuhao looked at the wine cup floating before him, then at Xu Tianming, his face full of admiration.

"This is Hundred Fruit Brew, which my family spent considerable effort making. It can condense Soul Power, so please don't stand on ceremony."

Xu Tianming lifted the cup before him, raised it toward the three of them, and drained it in one gulp.

Huo Yuhao did not have so many reservations. Seeing Xu Tianming drink so boldly, he followed suit and downed the wine before him in one swallow.

As the wine slid down his throat, Huo Yuhao felt a fiery warmth in his lower abdomen. The Soul Power within his body seemed to churn, bringing him an indescribable sense of comfort.

This wine had been brewed by Mu Ye, who had spent three years gathering countless precious materials so Xu Tianming could cultivate the Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique.

Its value even surpassed the Spirit Ascension Pill of this era.

"Feels... feels so good!"

Huo Yuhao let out a long breath of turbid air, his cheeks slightly flushed.

Seeing this, Tang Ya picked up her cup. With only a light sniff, she could already faintly sense her Soul Power rising.

"Xiao Ya..."

Beibei could not help calling out to her.

"It's fine. Didn't they both drink it?"

Tang Ya flashed Beibei a playful smile, then drained the wine in her cup as well.

"Whew, good wine!"

Her delicate brows lifted slightly, and two blushes appeared on Tang Ya's cheeks, adding even more charm to her already pretty face.

"This wine really can improve a Spirit Master's physique!"

Smacking her lips, Tang Ya stared eagerly at the gourd in Xu Tianming's hand, practically forgetting about the half-eaten grilled fish she held.

She could still tell which was more important: improving her strength or satisfying her appetite.

"It's not that I'm stingy, but an ordinary Spirit Master can only drink one cup a day."

Xu Tianming naturally understood the meaning in Tang Ya's eyes. Smiling, he put the gourd back into his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

"If you drink too much, you'll be hungover for several days."

At that, disappointment immediately appeared on Tang Ya's face.

"This wine has such miraculous effects. Brother Xu, I imagine your identity must be quite extraordinary as well?"

Beibei could not help asking from the side.

"Brother Beibei, at sixteen, you're already a three-ring Soul Elder. And if I'm not mistaken, this Miss Tang Ya has also reached the bottleneck at level thirty."

Beibei and Tang Ya's expressions changed dramatically.

Even Huo Yuhao covered his mouth, his gaze moving up and down as he examined Beibei and Tang Ya.

He had not expected that the strangers he casually encountered in the Star Dou Forest would both be two-ring and three-ring Spirit Masters.

And so young at that!

"As they say, meeting is fate. Why must we pry into each other's identities?"

As Xu Tianming spoke, his gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao beside him.

"As for Brother Huo, you and I are fated."

After a pause, Xu Tianming's voice rang beside his ear like thunder.

"Your Martial Soul should be eyes too, shouldn't it?"

"Y-you... how did you know?"

Huo Yuhao was only eleven years old now, after all, and lacked a bit of scheming.

Upon hearing Xu Tianming's words, he immediately jumped up in shock.

"Don't be nervous."

Xu Tianming chuckled and pointed at his own eyes.

"My Martial Soul is the same as yours."

Gold and silver light lit up in Xu Tianming's eyes before slowly fading away.

"Big Brother Xu, your Martial Soul is also... also eyes?"

Delight appeared on Huo Yuhao's face as he could not help asking.

His was a mutated Martial Soul. Since birth, he had never encountered anyone with the same Martial Soul as his, and he immediately felt a measure of closeness toward Xu Tianming.

But the moment he said that, Beibei and Tang Ya beside him both knew that Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul really was eyes.

"This is fate."

Xu Tianming smiled.

"How about it? Are you willing to come with me?"

"Since we both possess eye Martial Souls, I guarantee that you'll receive the best possible training."

The current Huo Yuhao was still a blank sheet of paper, not yet the dog whose backbone had been torn out and who had been bound in all kinds of chains by Tang God King, Shrek, and the Tang Sect.

If he could pull Huo Yuhao, this Child of Destiny, into his own camp, he should be able to deliver Tang God King a resounding slap across the face.
