Capturing the Shocking Great Area, Huo Yuhao Wet Himself

The grilled fish in the boy's hand fell to the ground before he could even set it down, becoming coated in dirt and leaves.

And right in front of this boy was an incredibly massive worm!

Its body was thick enough for several people to wrap their arms around and roughly seven meters long. A soft, milky-white light flowed over its smooth skin, and a golden pattern on its forehead flickered with a rhythmic pulse.

"Hahahaha! This Worm is finally free! Those damned bastards oppressed this Worm for a hundred thousand years! Finally, I've encountered a spirit-attribute Spirit Master!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was like a man who had spent half his life in chains and suddenly gained his freedom, venting his emotions recklessly.

"Spirit-type Martial Soul? Spirit Eye? Rare indeed. Though the spirit power is a bit weak... it will barely suffice. You're the one!"

It hadn't even finished speaking.

A green figure had already crashed down in front of it like a meteorite.

Du Busi landed, the ground cracking beneath his feet. He didn't even spare Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a glance as nine spirit rings rose from his feet in sequence.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red—the pressure of a level 99 Limit Douluo's spirit power was released without reservation.

"Human?! This, this, this... level 99?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's compound eyes reflected those nine slowly rotating spirit rings, and its entire body stiffened.

Having been oppressed by those fierce beasts in the core of Star Dou Forest for so long, it knew exactly what the strength of a level 99 meant.

Is Heaven ending me? No! I don't want to die!

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm instinctively tried to burrow back into the ground, but it was useless.

"Since you're here, you might as well stay!"

Du Busi raised his hand, and a massive green palm of spirit power descended from the sky, blotting out the sun.

"Hehehe, such an opportunity should belong to my Body Sect!"

A million-year spirit beast, so what if it's spirit-attribute?! It must sacrifice itself to Xu Qing! I can't even imagine how powerful a million-year first spirit ring would be for a Self Martial Soul!

"No! How are you humans even more unreasonable than spirit beasts! This Worm has only been out for three seconds!! Three—"

Slap!

The giant palm fell, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's massive body was swatted like a stunned trash fish, plummeting from mid-air and slamming into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The golden pattern on its forehead flickered weakly twice before going completely dark.

"Tsk. Is this big worm really a million-year spirit beast?"

Du Busi shook his hand, as casual as if he had swatted a mosquito.

"The texture is quite nice, more comfortable than the sandbags you designed."

Xu Qing jumped down from under Du Busi's arm, walked over to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and kicked its soft, doughy white body.

"Old man, go easy. This thing has great utility; don't kill it, seriously."

"Rest assured, I used a precise technique. Based on this worm's constitution, it will be out cold for a full day."

Xu Qing walked over to Huo Yuhao and looked down.

The boy was slumped on the ground, his pants wet, his face deathly pale.

Those Spirit Eyes were wide open, his pupils unfocused, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Xu Qing had no desire to mock him; he was just an eleven-year-old child.

Freshly expelled from the Duke Mansion, he had run into the Star Dou Forest alone to hunt his first spirit ring, pulled out his ancestral White Tiger Dagger, fought the God-Slaying Wind Baboon for hundreds of rounds, and nearly died.

And after finally killing it, he was targeted by a worm that crawled out of the ground.

Isn't this just the first step of being leashed by the God King?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can't handle this kind of opportunity.

"Tsk, old man, you scared the kid."

"What does that have to do with me? This brat is so weak yet tries to run into Star Dou alone—isn't that just asking for death? To be scared like this by a little commotion, hmph."

Du Busi cursed, but his hands were efficient.

He flipped his giant spirit power palm, controlling his strength to knead Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into the size of a soccer ball, then used a small trick to shrink it down to the size of a tennis ball.

He stuffed it into his sleeve, the entire sequence smooth and fluid.

Xu Qing squatted down and pointed at the white spirit ring slowly condensing above Huo Yuhao's head.

"You killed a Wind Baboon earlier, right? Look, the spirit ring is already on you."

Huo Yuhao nodded mechanically, then shook his head violently, finally regaining his senses.

"I, I didn't mean to... the Wind Baboon attacked me, so I killed it in self-defense, and then... suddenly, that white worm crawled out of the ground..."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'll leave right now..."

He trailed off, unable to continue.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring was a million-year ring voluntarily sacrificed by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, granting him four spirit skills, including Spirit Detection!

Now that Tianmeng had been captured by him, this ten-year white spirit ring had been slapped on just like that, in a muddled haze.

...This is a good thing, you don't have to change your surname anymore!

"A ten-year spirit ring..." Xu Qing stood up, shot Du Busi a look, and said in a tone neither salty nor bland, "Adding a ten-year ring as the first spirit skill for a Body Martial Soul—your luck really isn't great."

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, his fists clenched tight.

He didn't know this black-haired youth before him, but every word the other party spoke felt like a needle pricking his heart.

The truth was just that hurtful.

But a ten-year spirit ring was already quite impressive; he had already given it his all.

Even if it couldn't compare to those whose first spirit ring was a hundred-year one...

"However," Xu Qing shifted his tone, "you are a Body Martial Soul, after all... It shouldn't be that pathetic. You still have hope of becoming stronger."

Huo Yuhao looked up, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

"You... what do you mean by Body Martial Soul? My martial soul is my eyes..."

"Hold on."

Du Busi interrupted their conversation.

His green pupils locked straight onto Huo Yuhao's eyes.

He had been so focused on swatting the bug while rushing over that he'd only given the brat on the ground a cursory glance, not a detailed look.

Plus, with his good disciple's reminder just now...

"Child, you have suffered!"

Du Busi suddenly crouched down in front of Huo Yuhao, scaring him so much he nearly tumbled backward.

Before he could react, a hand covered in calluses was already pressing against his eyelids, gently flipping them upward.

"What beautiful eyes, child. I am the family you have never met!"

Du Busi's voice became so saccharine that even Xu Qing standing nearby broke out in goosebumps.

Damn it, how can this old geezer be so cringey? It's not like you were saying he was a coward just a moment ago.

"Kid! Your martial soul is a Body Martial Soul!! And the home for all Body Martial Souls in this world is the Body Sect! Child, what is your name?"

Huo Yuhao was completely stunned by this sudden burst of enthusiasm.

"B, Body Martial Soul?"

"Little Yuhao, Little Yuhao!"
