Six Years Later, Encountering Huo Yuhao

It took Destruction God quite a while before he finally let go of him. He crouched where he was, wiped his face, and only after steadying his breathing did he extend a finger and gently tap Tang Wulin between the brows.

In that instant, Tang Wulin felt a warm current pierce through his sea of consciousness.

The Clear Sky Hammer martial soul in his left palm emerged of its own accord. Starting from the handle, purple patterns wound their way up the dark hammer like slithering lightning snakes, inch by inch spreading across its surface.

The patterns were not ferocious. Instead, they resembled some ancient divine runes, glimmering with a dim violet radiance in the dark void. Each flicker seemed to draw forth faint thunder from the surrounding emptiness.

Destruction God withdrew his finger, examined it, and nodded in satisfaction. "Done. Your martial soul will have no problem bearing the Destruction God divine position in the future."

Tang Wulin lowered his head to look at the Clear Sky Hammer in his palm, now marked with a purple pattern, then looked up at the two God Kings before him. For a moment, his emotions were a tangled mess. He had originally thought that he would spend this life surviving in the cracks between Tang Wulin's template and Tang San's divine consciousness. Who would have thought that after just one day at Shrek Academy, he would gain two more parents?

Hehe, I have a dad and a mom. Below the God Kings, I can slaughter anyone with ease. Above the God Kings...

Wouldn't putting on airs right now just make him an idiot?

Lower his head when it was time to lower his head. As long as the benefits were in hand, that was what mattered!

He clenched his fist, and the purple patterns on the hammer flashed. His martial soul seemed to have changed.

The life energy within his Blue Silver Grass seemed even richer now. It appeared that his martial soul had become somewhat different from the Blue Silver Emperor.

Six years later.

"Martial Granduncle, are you planning to hunt for your fourth soul ring?" Bei Bei saw a richly dressed young man walking toward him with a smile.

"Little Bei Bei, are you taking your little girlfriend to hunt for her third soul ring?" Tang Wulin walked over and casually yanked Bei Bei over. Bei Bei had not been very willing at first, but he had been pulled over in one go. There was no technique involved—just pure strength!

"Yes, yes." Bei Bei lowered his head, his voice somewhat timid. It could not be helped. Ever since Mu En had introduced them and made them acknowledge each other, he had been suppressed in every fight and had never won even once.

Even Xu Sanshi's tough turtle shell had nearly been shattered by a single slap.

Perhaps due to Life Goddess, along with Shrek Academy's preferential allocation of resources, the Golden Dragon King seal within Tang Wulin had now broken through to the sixth layer.

"Then let's go together. We both happen to have Blue Silver Grass martial souls." Tang Wulin smiled and glanced at Tang Ya.

"Okay..." Tang Ya lowered her head, not quite daring to look at Tang Wulin. Her face was visibly tinged with a faint blush.

Tang Wulin did not pay much attention to the change in her expression.

The three of them headed into the Star Dou Great Forest together.

Suddenly, Tang Ya seemed to catch a scent. A glint flashed through her eyes. "Bei Bei, Senior Tang, I think I smell something really fragrant. Should we go take a look?"

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. Huo Yuhao?

What a pity. In the early days, he was still a resolute and inspiring youth, but later on... he became hard to describe...

Forget it. You only know what someone is like after spending time with them. If he really doesn't work out, I can get rid of him later!

After all, he was very curious about what Yuhao's grilled fish tasted like!

He really was hungry now!

So hungry!

Tang Wulin felt as though his eyes were about to turn green. He could probably devour an entire cow right now!

Tang Wulin licked his lips.

Bei Bei coughed awkwardly beside him. "Martial Granduncle, don't tell me you're hungry again?"

Tang Wulin nodded without hesitation. "A little, indeed."

"But you just finished ten bowls of special braised noodles... A normal person would be stuffed to death after half a bowl. Even Xuan Lao can only manage about two bowls." Bei Bei's face was full of shock. People had always said that his Martial Granduncle was monstrously hungry!

But surely it was not this exaggerated...

Tang Wulin scratched his black hair, which carried a faint bluish tint, with an honest-looking expression. "Hey, I'm still growing, aren't I? Let's go see that good brother's grilled fish!"

"Okay." Bei Bei and Tang Ya replied.

They had only taken a few steps.

"It smells so good!" Tang Ya let out a delighted cry, her eyes full of excitement. But after noticing Tang Wulin's gaze, she immediately lowered her head.

"Little brother, how much are your grilled fish? Can I buy a few more? I can catch the fish myself." Tang Wulin's eyes shone even brighter. The smell really did seem quite good, though it would be a shame without salt and the like.

He then took out a packet of seasonings from his storage soul tool. "Here, little brother, these are seasonings. Use them."

Huo Yuhao's little face reddened as he said, "Thank you. I-I should treat you instead."

"I eat quite a lot, so it's better if I pay." Unlike Tang Wulin, he had money—a great deal of it. Still, they had one thing in common: both relied on forging, commonly known as blacksmithing...

As he spoke, he took out several gold soul coins, then ran to the nearby lake to catch fish.

While catching a huge number of fish, he introduced himself. "My name is Tang Wulin. What's yours?"

"H-Huo Yuhao..." Huo Yuhao seemed rather nervous.

"My name is Bei Bei, and she's Tang Ya." Bei Bei introduced them from the side as well.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head. "Um, you paid for the fish, so you should eat first." Then, with his head still lowered, he shyly handed a fish to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin accepted it without any ceremony and took a bite. His eyes immediately lit up.

It was indeed delicious, though not quite as astonishing as he had imagined!

Of course, that might also have been because Shrek Academy had never neglected him when it came to food!

Tang Wulin quickly demolished one fish, then took the second one and rapidly began eating.

Huo Yuhao grilled fish quickly as he ate one himself.

Naturally, by the end, he was only catching and grilling fish while watching Tang Wulin eat.

"Is this Brother Tang really... really such a big eater?" Huo Yuhao asked hesitantly.

"You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it..." Bei Bei said, stroking his chin from the side.

After finishing a fish, Tang Wulin wiped his mouth and looked up at Huo Yuhao. "Come with me later. I'm at the level of a Soul Ancestor, and I'll take you to hunt soul beasts."

He happened to want to see whether this fellow's luck was really as heaven-defying as he imagined—whether he could encounter Sky Dream Ice Silkworm just by wandering around.

But he had no particular interest in Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. After all, there was already a bomb inside his body, and he did not need any more energy.

He was even afraid that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's power might detonate the radiant bloodline within him. Besides, he already had a guaranteed two divine positions.

As for Electrolux...

He still had to take him!

Huo Yuhao could not handle such an opportunity!

As long as there was a chance, why not take it?

Although Old Tang's divine consciousness already resided within him, adding another Electrolux would not be a big problem!

When he needed to use the heavenly combat technique Ghost Possession later, he would have another option!
