The Son of Destiny!

Before Leng Yaozhu could speak, the startled Gu An hurriedly reached out to grab his mother's sleeve.

"Mom, don't do anything."

"She is Leng Yaozhu, a Title Douluo, the Sky Phoenix Douluo."

"She was passing by, discovered my potential, and has taken me as her disciple."

Gu An's mother stiffened, slowly turning her head to look down at her son, her mouth agape.

A Title Douluo?

What kind of dream was she having?

She looked back at Leng Yaozhu, the wariness in her eyes replaced by disbelief.

Leng Yaozhu nodded at the perfect moment, her expression indifferent, perfectly embodying the demeanor of an expert.

Gu An gave her a mental thumbs-up.

Nice acting.

Gu An's mother's Magic Flute martial soul slowly dissipated, and her three soul rings retracted.

She opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she only managed to squeeze out one sentence.

"Re... really?"

Leng Yaozhu spoke in a cold, clear voice, "Your son's talent is one in ten thousand."

Gu An's mother's eyes reddened; she felt as though her hardships had finally come to an end.

She crouched down, cupped Gu An's face in her hands, and gently rubbed his cheeks with her thumbs.

"Xiao An... Xiao An..."

Gu An let her hold him, waiting until her emotions had calmed slightly before speaking.

"Mom, I need to go out with my master to obtain my first soul ring."

His mother's hands tightened abruptly.

She instinctively wanted to say no, but swallowed the words before they could leave her lips.

She glanced at Leng Yaozhu, then back at her son.

She couldn't help him, and she couldn't hold Xiao An back.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally let go.

"You must stay safe, Xiao An!"

Gu An nodded.

Leng Yaozhu stepped forward, scooped Gu An up into her arms with one hand, and pushed the door open with the other.

The next instant, the two of them vanished from the spot.

Above the Star Dou Great Forest.

The wind whistled.

Leng Yaozhu flew through the high altitude holding Gu An, her speed incredibly fast.

"Tell me, Xiao An, how did you know I was the Sky Phoenix Douluo?"

She looked down at Gu An in her arms, only to see him struggling desperately, his legs kicking wildly in the air.

She loosened her grip apologetically.

Having just escaped suffocation, Gu An took a deep, sharp breath.

Only then did he look up, annoyed, and glare at the culprit.

"Of course it's because I possess the memories of Douluo III, that Douluo Planet of yours, and I know everything."

Leng Yaozhu nodded in sudden realization and did not continue to press the topic.

"Then have you decided what kind of soul beast you want?"

"Your Dragon Phoenix Soul Sound Flute has very high requirements for soul beasts; we cannot waste this soul ring."

Gu An shook his head; he certainly understood the importance of the matter.

He rubbed his head against Leng Yaozhu's chest.

Leng Yaozhu shuddered, her flight path veering off course as she nearly plummeted from the sky.

She steadied herself and looked down, glaring fiercely at Gu An.

Gu An felt quite helpless.

He looked up at the red-eared Leng Yaozhu with an innocent expression.

"There's no rush for my soul ring."

"Let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest first to find traces of Huo Yuhao."

"We'll snatch the Sky Dream Ice Worm and Electrolux first."

"We'll suppress the Child of Destiny later."

Even though he had cheats, no one would complain about having too many.

Besides, since he had already decided that Huo Yuhao was not on the same path as him, why should he hold back?

Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

She said nothing, merely adjusting their flight path slightly and increasing their speed.

They were searching for Huo Yuhao's figure within the Star Dou Great Forest.

It had to be said, a level 99 Limit Douluo was no joke; it didn't take long for her to locate Huo Yuhao.

To be precise, it was Huo Yuhao struggling in a difficult battle against a Wind Baboon!

"Found him! Little An!"

"Damn it! Let go!"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was held in mid-air, gripped by the Wind Baboon's claws.

Gritting his teeth, he thrust the White Tiger Dagger downward with all his might.

The dagger pierced the Wind Baboon's paw, and the beast let out a sharp shriek of pain, flinging Huo Yuhao away with a flick of its arm.

Before Huo Yuhao could even land, the Wind Baboon attacked again.

He gripped the White Tiger Dagger and swung it, landing a fatal blow on the Wind Baboon.

The Wind Baboon, a god-slayer who had nearly killed a god, died just like that.

The recoil sent Huo Yuhao flying, and he slammed hard into a tree trunk.

He slid down, collapsing at the roots of the tree as the taste of blood welled up in his mouth.

Opening his eyes weakly, he saw a white spirit ring slowly rising from the Wind Baboon's corpse.

Before Huo Yuhao could react, a lazy voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Finally, I've waited for you, a mental-type human."

The surrounding temperature plummeted abruptly.

Huo Yuhao shivered, his breath turning into white mist.

He widened his eyes, looking around in confusion.

Who was speaking?

High above.

Leng Yaozhu held Gu An, their figures hidden within the clouds.

The temperature change below was captured by Leng Yaozhu the instant it occurred.

Her brows twitched slightly, and she looked down at Gu An in her arms.

Gu An sensed that fluctuation of energy at the same time.

He narrowed his eyes and spoke directly.

"Sister Yaozhu, now!"

Leng Yaozhu did not speak.

She didn't even nod, choosing to act immediately.

Behind her, a massive phantom of a Sky Phoenix manifested out of thin air.

Fiery red light illuminated half the sky, and her red hair was whipped up by the air currents.

"Sky Phoenix True Fire!"

A scorching flame erupted from her palm, descending with precision toward Huo Yuhao's location below.

The flames engulfed the area.

The ice and snow melted in an instant.

Huo Yuhao was terrified, unable to understand why such a powerful expert would attack him.

Meanwhile, in his mind, the voice of the Sky Dream Ice Worm suddenly turned sharp.

"How could there be such a powerful human Titled Douluo?!"

"No, I have to get this kid out of here immediately!"

Just then, another voice resonated within Huo Yuhao's mind.

It was calm, ancient, and carried an arrogance that looked down upon all living things.

"Holding the sun and moon in my hand, plucking the stars, there is no one in this world like me."

The Sky Dream Ice Worm, of course, heard it.

Under normal circumstances, it would have definitely argued with this pretentious guy who had suddenly popped out of nowhere.

But not now.

The threat posed by the human Title Douluo above was too great; that kind of flame made it feel instinctive terror.

Sky Dream Ice Worm did not hesitate any longer, directly unleashing a shockwave condensed from its million-year spiritual power, sweeping upward toward the sky.

Then, it roared at Electrolux.

"You weirdo! Take us away, or you won't be able to leave either!"

A helpless sigh rang out, and Electrolux agreed.

Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow.

That spiritual shock was a bit troublesome for her, but not by much.

If she went all out, she could completely tank it and continue the pursuit.

But she looked down at Gu An in her arms.

She had to protect him.

That split second of hesitation was enough.

Below, Huo Yuhao's body was enveloped by a ball of gray light, and the space twisted slightly.

The next instant, he had already vanished from where he stood.

Leng Yaozhu retracted the Sky Phoenix phantom, the flames dissipated, and the clouds closed back up.

She lowered her head, a clear look of apology on her face.

"I didn't expect Electrolux to intervene even at the cost of exhausting his soul origin."

"It was my carelessness."

Gu An shook his head.

He reached out and patted Leng Yaozhu's arm, comforting her in a calm tone.

"It's alright."

There was indeed no expression of disappointment on his face.

As expected, it was a lost cause.

He had already thought it through very clearly on the way here; the possibility of successfully intercepting this opportunity was minuscule.

Whether he existed or not would not affect the final outcome.

He was neither a spiritual-type martial soul nor the Child of Destiny, and on top of that, there was the will of Douluo Planet.

No matter what, it was impossible to intercept it.
