A Chance Encounter with Tang San? Huo Yuhao: You're Asking to Die!

"That kid really has a way to do it?"

Gui Mei narrowed his eyes.

Following these people from the Sun Moon Sect had brought him one surprise after another.

He had watched Kong Deming's entire fight.

The pressure Kong Deming had exerted was immense.

Then there was the extraordinary talent of Li Chen and Huo Yuhao. Li Chen, in particular, had actually made a Soul Beast offer itself as a sacrifice.

Gui Mei had a feeling.

If the younger generation was this gifted, the Sun Moon Sect having a Peerless Douluo no longer sounded so far-fetched.

After all, the children of powerful soul masters generally had exceptionally strong Martial Souls.

Take Qian Daoliu, the grand worshipper of Spirit Hall. He had a divine-level Angel Martial Soul, and his granddaughter Qian Renxue had been born with level twenty Soul Power.

If only she had not gone undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire. Had Qian Renxue kept cultivating instead, she might have become a god long ago and wiped out Tang San.

The Soul Spirit Ritual began.

Li Chen watched the whole process closely. This was his first real attempt. His Supercomputer Martial Soul had simulated it countless times, but he still had no guarantee it would work.

Soon,

the Silver Moon Wolf King's corpse reacted.

A spectral Silver Moon Wolf King appeared above the corpse and let out a fierce roar at Huo Yuhao and Kong Deming.

Her meaning was clear:

A wolf king will not be enslaved!

But after Li Chen explained the benefits of becoming a Soul Spirit under the contract,

the Silver Moon Wolf King's eyes gleamed.

Soon,

she nodded to Li Chen, signaling her agreement.

Then,

the ritual was completed in an instant.

The Silver Moon Wolf King's spectral form approached Huo Yuhao, then swiftly entered his mind and vanished.

What a quick change of heart.

Once she learned she would not have to fade away, the Silver Moon Wolf King's attitude reversed completely.

Inside Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, she even smiled at him.

"What the hell? Where did this puppy come from?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cried out inside Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit.

He was a mighty million-year Soul Beast!

How could he share a space with this stupid dog?!

The Silver Moon Wolf King gave Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a couple of irritated growls, but just then, a great wave of cold surged through Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit.

The Ice Empress appeared.

"Both of you, quiet!"

The Silver Moon Wolf King whimpered and retreated into a corner with her tail between her legs.

Tian Meng did the same.

Meanwhile,

outside,

Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level shot up to level sixty-three.

A black Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet.

Kong Deming immediately stored the Silver Moon Wolf King's corpse in his Storage Soul Tool. He took the ordinary Silver Moon Wolves' corpses too. They were all excellent materials for making Soul Tools.

Even a hero had to watch his money when funds were tight.

In the past,

Kong Deming would never have needed to gather such materials himself.

"All right. We should head back."

"We've gained quite a lot this time."

Kong Deming took Huo Yuhao and Li Chen toward the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After the three left,

Gui Mei walked to where the Silver Moon Wolf King had fallen, feeling a pang of envy.

"What kind of Storage Soul Tool can hold that much at once?"

"This hidden Sun Moon Sect really is loaded!"

Gui Mei almost wanted to join the Sun Moon Sect himself.

But he could only dream. If he actually tried it, Bibi Dong would probably be the first to kill him.

Gui Mei's figure flickered.

He quickly followed Kong Deming toward the forest's edge.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest,

at the Lake of Life,

the vast lake, brimming with life energy, suddenly began to churn.

An enormous black dragon with golden eyes emerged and took the form of a man. He stared into the distance, visibly agitated.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't I sense the Auspicious Beast anymore?!"

"Where is she?!"

Di Tian roared. His voice carried far in every direction.

The surrounding Soul Beasts fell silent and crouched low, not daring to raise their heads.

"Di Tian, what happened?"

A woman in a long green dress emerged. Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan, asked with concern.

"The Auspicious Beast is gone!"

"What?" Bi Ji was stunned.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, carried the fortune of the entire Star Dou Great Forest. She represented the future of Soul Beasts. Her disappearance was grave enough to shake their Lord!

Di Tian clenched his fists in fury and was about to rush out to search for her.

"Who did this? When I find them, I'll tear them to pieces!"

Just then,

an immense consciousness enveloped Di Tian.

"Di Tian, wait."

"My Lord!"

Di Tian dropped to one knee. Bi Ji knelt beside him.

If a human saw this, they would likely be terrified out of their wits.

After all,

Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, possessed power comparable to a million-year Soul Beast.

With his dragon bloodline, no one on the continent could match him.

And only the Silver Dragon King could make him kneel so willingly.

"The Auspicious Beast appears to have left of her own free will. The fortune of the Soul Beasts has not weakened. If anything, it has grown stronger."

"This may not be a bad thing. The Emperor Auspicious Beast must have her reasons. If you reveal yourself rashly, you will only provoke hostility and fear among humans. Human soul masters will then launch a large-scale assault on the Soul Beasts."

Di Tian bowed his head. "You are right, my Lord."

The immense consciousness slowly faded.

"Wait a little longer. Once my wounds have healed, I will make humanity repay what they owe us a hundredfold, whether in Douluo or the Divine Realm!"

Di Tian nodded.

He trusted his Lord's wisdom.

Near the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Kong Deming was about to fly out with Huo Yuhao and Li Chen.

Just then,

he noticed signs that a massive Soul Beast had passed through the area.

Huge footprints had crushed trees, flowers, and grass. The creature seemed to have been in a hurry, taking enormous strides.

"Hm? What kind of Soul Beast was this? Did a Ferocious Beast leave the core region?"

Kong Deming frowned and extended his spiritual perception to scan the surroundings.

A Soul Beast's size was closely tied to its age.

A creature this enormous

had to be far more formidable than the Silver Moon Wolf King. It had to be at least a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

Even Kong Deming found that tempting.

If he could take it down,

the Sun Moon Sect would gain another precious Soul Bone.

After a moment's thought, Kong Deming followed the tracks.

"Strange. What was this Ferocious Beast doing? The tracks look like it came out, then turned around and went back."

"Was it looking for something?"

Kong Deming wondered.

He flew faster. Soon, he spotted a huge black ape racing along at the far end of the trail, apparently clutching someone in one hand.

"Give her back! Give Xiao Wu back to me!"

Behind the ape,

Tang San chased frantically, panting as he shouted.

"Is that... a Sky Titan Giant Ape?! Wait, Xiao Wu?!"

Something clicked for Kong Deming. The name immediately reminded him of someone.

Tang San, the Sea God!

The story of Tang San, the Sea God, was known throughout Douluo Continent.

His tale of undying love, in particular, had spread far and wide.

So

the instant Kong Deming heard Xiao Wu's name, he knew who was involved.

"Am I really this lucky? I actually ran into Tang San! Is this the power of the Emperor Auspicious Beast's fortune?"

Li Chen looked down in delight.

Sure enough,

the person ahead, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to chase the Hundred-Thousand-Year Sky Titan Giant Ape,

was none other than the great Sea God himself, Tang San!

Huo Yuhao immediately grew excited. "Elder Kong, let me down! I want to kill that Little Scumbag with my own hands!"
