Meeting Douluo Again

At the center of the vast, boundless universe, where countless heavens and worlds converged.

A young girl's figure suddenly appeared upon the sole throne of the Primordial Chaos Hall.

Ouyang Luyao sat on the throne and sighed helplessly. "After you left, the sky is still this blue..."

A middle-aged woman quietly approached Ouyang Luyao. "My Lord, you just saved Eri. Are you planning to go to the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf World again to change Blue's ending?"

Ouyang Luyao was about to nod in reply when she noticed something else. She decided to temporarily alter her travel plans.

Douluo World, Greater God Realm, God Realm Core.

Because of Ouyang Luyao's interference earlier, the ending of Douluo World had changed, indirectly leaving the father-son relationship between Tang San and Tang Wulin in an awkward state.

Tang Wulin was close to Huo Yuhao, while Tang San himself disliked Huo Yuhao. Thus, Tang Wulin had always protected Huo Yuhao, which made the relationship between Tang San and his son seem somewhat poor... a very delicate relationship.

As for why Tang San disliked Huo Yuhao, it was naturally because Huo Yuhao had not followed Tang San's original plans, causing everything to go against Tang San's wishes. It was only inevitable that resentment would arise in his heart.

The reason Tang Wulin was close to Huo Yuhao was naturally because Huo Yuhao had cared for his growth from beginning to end, looking after Tang Wulin as attentively as if he were his own younger brother.

In order to ease the relationship between himself and his son, Tang San decided to take Tang Wulin through everything he had experienced in the past, hoping Tang Wulin would come to understand him.

At Tang Wulin's insistence, Tang San ultimately agreed, albeit reluctantly, to let Huo Yuhao accompany them.

Within Huo Yuhao's Subconscious Abyss, a familiar figure quietly arrived.

"Miss Luyao, why have you come back again?"

Huo Yuhao looked in astonishment at the young girl stepping out of the vortex before him.

Ouyang Luyao spread her hands helplessly. "Isn't it because I'm worried that you and Wulin will be led astray by that old fox Tang San? I don't want the fruits of my hard-won revolution to be stolen back by that old thief Tang San."

Huo Yuhao burst out laughing. "How much money does Tang San owe you, Miss Luyao? You're so guarded against him."

Ouyang Luyao curled her lips and muttered with a pout, "He owes far too many debts, and I'm not the only one... Anyway, just like before, I came to help you this time."

Huo Yuhao clasped his hands in salute. "Thank you for your concern, Miss."

Ouyang Luyao waved her hand. "I told you long ago, this is what I should do."

This time, Ouyang Luyao once again became Huo Yuhao.

Douluo Continent, Holy Soul Village, grasslands outside the village.

Six-year-old Tang San sat atop a large rock, meditating as he cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

Two six-year-old boys stood beside him. One was black-haired Tang Wulin, while the other was blue-haired Huo Yuhao.

Tang Wulin looked puzzled. "Brother Yuhao, the resources here are so scarce. How are we supposed to recover our original strength?"

Huo Yuhao teased, "You could just go to the Star Dou Great Forest and tell Na'er that I'm your future boyfriend."

Tang Wulin looked embarrassed. "Brother Yuhao, stop teasing me. Na'er is still asleep at this point in time. Besides, even if I could awaken her, she'd probably want nothing more than to devour me outright. After all, we don't have any emotional foundation yet."

Huo Yuhao smiled and rubbed Tang Wulin's head. "All right, all right, I won't tease you anymore. Your father is the protagonist of this era, so our strength will recover in sync with his cultivation."

Tang Wulin suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. In other words, however many rings Father reaches, our strength will recover to the same number of rings?"

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. "Yes, that's right. So we need to help him cultivate faster. That way, we'll have the strength and leeway to do more things."

Holy Soul Village, blacksmith shop, Tang San's home.

After finishing his cultivation, Tang San brought Tang Wulin and Huo Yuhao back home.

Tang San ladled the cooked porridge into bowls and handed them respectively to Tang Hao, Tang Wulin, and Huo Yuhao.

As Tang Hao drank his porridge, he listened to Tang San explain how he had met his two new friends.

Huo Yuhao smiled and greeted Tang Hao. "Hello, Uncle Tang. My name is Huo Yuhao. My younger brother and I came here by sea to gain some experience."

Tang Wulin instinctively greeted him, "Grandpa..."

Tang Hao raised an eyebrow, though his expression remained unchanged.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao immediately poked Tang Wulin in the lower back with his fingertip. Only then did Tang Wulin realize what he had said and hurriedly corrected himself:

"Hello, Uncle... My name is Tang Wulin. I came out with my brother to have some fun and see the world."

Tang Hao merely nodded indifferently, unconcerned with the intentions of the two juniors. He turned to Tang San and asked in a deep voice:

"Little San, Old Jack said you awakened soul power. Show it to me now."

Huo Yuhao immediately led Tang Wulin out of the room, and they waited outside Tang San's door.

Tang Wulin looked confused. "Brother Yuhao, are Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer martial souls that rare? Why can't they show them to us?"

Huo Yuhao could not help but chuckle. "In this era, they are indeed rather rare. As outsiders, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to see or know about their household matters."

Tang Wulin said helplessly, "I'm an outsider? All right, then."

He immediately changed the subject. "Brother Yuhao, then I can know about your household matters, right?"

Huo Yuhao looked puzzled. "Aren't you my household matter? What secrets could I possibly have that you don't know?"

Tang Wulin shook Huo Yuhao's body. "Not about me, but about your background. You only told me about your relationship with my father before, but you haven't told me about your parents."

"Na'er said before that you regard us as family. I've actually always been curious, Brother Yuhao. Why don't you have any family? What exactly happened between you and your parents?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. "Why are you suddenly so concerned about my background, Wulin? My origins aren't anything important."

Tang Wulin said seriously, "Because I want to understand more about your experiences, Brother Yuhao. That way, I can understand you better."

Huo Yuhao rubbed Tang Wulin's head. "Thank you, Wulin..."

Thus, Huo Yuhao patiently told Tang Wulin everything that had happened to him in the White Tiger Duke's Estate.

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. "By the way, wasn't it your father who wanted to improve his relationship with you this time? How did it become you wanting to improve your relationship with me?"

Tang Wulin put on a pitiful expression. "Brother Yuhao, don't you want to improve your relationship with me?"

Huo Yuhao rubbed Tang Wulin's cheeks. "How could I not? What I mean is, our relationship is already good enough. We don't need to force it."

Tang Wulin curled his lips. "I don't care. If I say it's not enough, then it's not enough."

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly. "Yes, yes, you're right about everything."

In the end, Tang San's resolute heart moved Tang Hao, and he successfully took his first step toward becoming a soul master, leaving Holy Soul Village.
